As promised here is the data to track my progress:
FYI. Here’s how I track my food. There’s no daily calorie goal, just a general attempt to limit things.
Is that it? Can I go back to a diet of peanut M&Ms and Four N Twenty Pies? A close look at the way this challenge is set up says no. I need to come in at or under this weight on February 1. I’m sticking at it…
I reckon you’re pretty close to the same build and height as me and cracking 75kg is going to be really tough, especially if you’re exercising and building muscle.
I like your thinking and am tempted to try employing it for my much larger weight loss project. Your starting weight is roughly what my target weight would be. Going to give this some thought.
Strong work – hope you keep it off. I find shame a bigger incentive than hate. So I ‘externalise my conscience’ – telling all my friends and colleagues “I’m going for a run this weekend” or “I’m giving up Reese’s Pieces this month”. That way on the Monday when asked “how did the run go?” I’ll have the shame of having to admit I stayed in bed/couldn’t be arsed…

I salute your excellent progress. I wish I were you. Same weight for the last 15 years or so.

Truly, therein lies the difference. 15 years ago I weighed 60kg.

I recommend it. Although a big all or nothing bet might be too stressful. A fresh bet on every 5kg might be the trick!
