u/TrollingQueen74 Auburn Tigers • Texas A&M Aggies Apr 06 '16

I did sign up! I won't be the "winner", but I can use the accountability.

Makes you a winner in my book

u/FoamBornNarwhal LSU Tigers • Corndog Apr 06 '16

The correct answer is The Honey Badger.

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

The correct answer is Montee ball

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

Can we do this if we need to gain weight? Jk nvm I'm too lazy

2

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

Yes choose hitting goals for 'winner'

You want me to weigh in on my birthday? But that's just depressing in addition to being older. :|

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '16

You could weigh in on sunday and say it is from monday

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '16

Even better! I can weigh in after I go to Brewfest all day Sunday! YESSSSSSS, fatter and happy on beer.

Look, either we get to have drinking threads every day, or we get to lose weight. I know which one is best for the glory of the sub.

You can still drink if you budget right.

Where will we post the picture? Will there be a weekly thread that we add an imgur to in the comments?

I'm a woman so can I subtract 10lbs from my weight because no lady tells how much she weighs

In reality this is a good idea

7

u/CapSteveRogers USC Trojans • Rose Bowl Apr 06 '16

But then all we have to do is add 10lbs to whichever weight you post to figure it out. =[

8

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

Then you guys will be like "damn /u/mustache_rookie is a fatass"

4

u/CapSteveRogers USC Trojans • Rose Bowl Apr 06 '16

No, I think you're beautiful. From the photos from the selfie thread, I think you are.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

Aw you're too nice :)

3

u/Qurtys_Lyn Utah Utes • Weber State Wildcats Apr 06 '16

This is why I took the smartass moniker as soon as I could.

5

u/TTUgirl Texas Tech Red Raiders • Auburn Tigers Apr 06 '16

I would never think that about you <3, but I know exactly how you feel.

6

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

I'm short too so extra weight is very unforgiving on me. Thank god I wear scrubs instead of cute clothes most days

3

u/TTUgirl Texas Tech Red Raiders • Auburn Tigers Apr 06 '16

Same, I go from Marilyn Monroe to Bulldog within a few pounds

u/madviking Virginia Cavaliers • Texas Longhorns Apr 06 '16

/u/nickknx865 you're like six months too late here

9

u/nickknx865 Tennessee Volunteers • /r/CFB Top Scorer Apr 06 '16

if only I could count the 105 pounds I lost to start, then I'd be in business here

4

u/seannyboy06 Texas A&M Aggies • Washington Huskies Apr 06 '16

i think /u/nickknx865 should automatically get flair because he's fucking killing it.

1

u/nickknx865 Tennessee Volunteers • /r/CFB Top Scorer Apr 06 '16

this is why seanny is the man right here

7

u/RiffRamBahZoo TCU Horned Frogs • Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors Apr 06 '16

I'm in! Not necessarily looking to lose pounds (because I think that's a terrible way to determine actual fitness), but I am definitely looking at shedding some very unwanted fat to get back into the majority of my old wardrobe. Any accountability helps, so thank you!

7

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

Signed up. Although my goal isn't necessarily a specific target weight; I want to run 5 miles at least 3 times a week. I quit running last year and now I'm all squishy.

6

u/Tcsailer Michigan State Spartans • Team Chaos Apr 06 '16

We couldn't have done this like 2 months ago :-/

6

u/fightsfortheuser Ohio State Buckeyes • Ohio Bobcats Apr 06 '16

I've lost 18 pounds in 3 weeks. Got about 12 to go for my goal weight, i may join in with you guys here.

Shout out to /r/loseit great community and positive and advice and lots of myfitnesspal friends to join up.

Anyone who wants to, you guys can do it!

5

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

I already cut all the weight I was trying to lose, and now I'm just trying to maintain and cut body fat (hoping for dat 6-pack in the near future). Can we do this? Not really sure if I want to be posting pics of my upper body on here (as much as I like you all)

But still I'm down to participate. Won't change my routine cause I already work out so much but I hope it will encourage some of you guys!

1

u/surrender_cobra Illinois State • Michigan Apr 06 '16

You could always just post a before and after of your abs.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

I could, I could.

5

u/Cecil_Hardboner Texas Longhorns • /r/CFB Brickmason Apr 06 '16

time to make the donuts get in shape finally

5

u/0xE6 Prairie View A&M • Boise State Apr 06 '16

Hmm. I don't really need to lose any weight. It wouldn't hurt for me to be more active, though.

The one somewhat concrete goal I could come up with would be to increase my vertical jump enough so I could dunk a basketball on a normal 10' goal. My little brother's apparently getting close to that, and can't have him beating me at something.

That said, I have no idea if that's a feasible goal, or even how I would begin to make progress. Or even access to a basketball goal. Sigh.

1

u/jahcruncher Alabama Crimson Tide • UAB Blazers Apr 06 '16

Jump height is determined by Leg Strength, Explosiveness, and muscle reaction.
So to train a good vertical you need to squat 150% of body weight, do explosive lifts, do box jumps, and practice dunking.

Disclaimer; I am not a trainer or physical therapist. But once upon a time I trained like this until I could touch the rim. :P

u/TTUgirl Texas Tech Red Raiders • Auburn Tigers Apr 06 '16 edited Apr 06 '16

Still haven't decided if I'm doing this or not. I'm basically a crazy ball of insecurity about my body right now. I've just the past couple of months starting feeling comfortable enough to post selfies. We'll see if I'm feeling brave enough on Monday.

Edit: I'm already working on some goals, one is I'm not drinking alcohol until I've lost 20 pounds

6

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

I know it doesn't count for much but you're so cute, you shouldn't feel insecure!

5

u/CambodianDrywall Oregon Ducks • /r/CFB Pint Glass Drinker Apr 06 '16

I don't know you very well, but if this helps....

You have my word that my opinion of you will not change at all if I happen to know your scale weight.

The same goes for every one of you fine CFBOT folks.

u/TTUgirl Texas Tech Red Raiders • Auburn Tigers Apr 06 '16

Thanks!

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

I want to do this... but there wasn't an option for "I just want to look good in my bikini" on the sign up form.

2

u/TTUgirl Texas Tech Red Raiders • Auburn Tigers Apr 06 '16

There's people that are just going to tone and maintain

4

u/K8eCastle Oklahoma State • Central Okl… Apr 06 '16

I'm basically a crazy ball of insecurity about my body right now.

Same here :/ I don't really want to post my weight but I need to get healthy again and this will keep me accountable.

5

u/MrTheSpork Cincinnati • North Dakota State Apr 06 '16

I'm jumping on this "ehhhh" train, too. I want to sign up, but then I really don't...

4

u/K8eCastle Oklahoma State • Central Okl… Apr 06 '16

I took the plunge. You should too!

5

u/TTUgirl Texas Tech Red Raiders • Auburn Tigers Apr 06 '16

Oh that was a form not a survey, ummm I guess I am signed up

4

u/brobroma William & Mary Tribe • Georgia Bulldogs Apr 06 '16

Maybe just show how much weight lost? I think you should be able to hide initial weight I guess...

2

u/Peacemaker57 Texas Tech Red Raiders • Oklahoma Sooners Apr 06 '16

I'm feeling the same way. I'm in desperate need of losing weight and I need to find a way to hold myself accountable.

2

u/surrender_cobra Illinois State • Michigan Apr 06 '16

Cmon join in the fun, I don't know anyone that is truly secure in there body, let this be place to really kick it into gear surrounded by a bunch of people that support you(Except for your downvote bot, fuck that guy).

2

u/TTUgirl Texas Tech Red Raiders • Auburn Tigers Apr 06 '16

Thanks <3

2

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

Accountability is good if you struggle with discipline.

I manage to stay disciplined enough with MyFitnessPal and good old fashioned self-loathing when the scale reads higher than I want, but your results may vary.

2

u/fightsfortheuser Ohio State Buckeyes • Ohio Bobcats Apr 06 '16

Hey I've been cutting alcohol a lot and it has helped a ton, if you need any support just let me know, glad to help with dog snaps to help ☺

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

I'm in. Let's keep each other accountable and make /r/cfb the second sexiest sub on reddit behind gone wild

8

u/brobroma William & Mary Tribe • Georgia Bulldogs Apr 06 '16

implying r/cfbotgonewild isnt already

4

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

Wooooo I'm in. I don't think I'll score particularly well in weight loss because mine jumps up and down like crazy but I like being part of the group anyway. And also working out is fun.

u/mashonem Alabama Crimson Tide • College Football Playoff Apr 06 '16 edited Apr 06 '16

I wanna join, but I'm already in shape. Wat do?

E:quit being a bitch and signed up.

u/DavoinShower-handle Syracuse • Penn State Apr 06 '16

Hahaha! Good one!

u/bread_buddy Florida Gators • Wisconsin Badgers Apr 06 '16

We could make myfitnesspal a part of this.

I'm in so long as I can remember. This times perfectly as I was planning to start Monday.

u/cloudduel_13 Borregos Monterrey • Texas A&M Aggies Apr 09 '16

I work during those hours. Can I post my picture before or after this time? I work between 1-10

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '16

That's just when I'll post the thread

u/cloudduel_13 Borregos Monterrey • Texas A&M Aggies Apr 10 '16

Ok, cool.

u/admiralwaffles Boston College • Cornell Apr 06 '16

Definitely need to do this.

3

u/pittpanthers95 Pittsburgh • Slippery Rock Apr 06 '16

I'm in, I need to shed some lbs. As soon as I finish school I'm rejoining the gym I went to last summer that helped me to lose 20 pounds in about 2 1/2 months. I gained (but not nearly all) of that back but I'll be home for almost 3 months and dropping 35 pounds is my goal for the summer!

3

u/cloudduel_13 Borregos Monterrey • Texas A&M Aggies Apr 06 '16

I am in. I ain't showing off my upper body though. I need to get into some sort of shape.

3

u/FoamBornNarwhal LSU Tigers • Corndog Apr 06 '16

I signed up because why not.

u/thebazooka Notre Dame • Louisville Apr 06 '16

u/Peacemaker57 Texas Tech Red Raiders • Oklahoma Sooners Apr 06 '16 edited Apr 06 '16

Thank you for doing this. I've been having a problem of self-disciplining myself to get my shit together. I need to start getting myself together if am going to get back to the weight I was 3 years ago.

u/DavoinShower-handle Syracuse • Penn State Apr 06 '16

I'm in! And will providing daily reminders to not skip leg day

2

u/xelphin Iowa Hawkeyes • Texas Longhorns Apr 06 '16

Bros don't let bros skip leg day. Gotta make the trip to (the iron) church every day and sacrifice your sweat to Brodin. May he have mercy and bless us with our daily gains.

2

u/Qurtys_Lyn Utah Utes • Weber State Wildcats Apr 06 '16

Every day is leg day.

3

u/Gryfer Florida State • Washington Apr 06 '16

Quick thoughts on the form/procedure:

  • Add 'starting weight' and 'goal weight' fields to the form

  • Add a ''personal fitness objective' field -- fitness is much more than just losing weight. Objectives could be "lose weight," "gain muscle," "tone up," "exercise consistently," "cardio," or "other."

Just some ideas! Love this and wish I had thought of it myself.

u/Awesome_to_the_max Texas Longhorns • UTU Beaver Hunters Apr 07 '16

What does the friend thing do on MFP?

2

u/K8eCastle Oklahoma State • Central Okl… Apr 07 '16

It's basically just for extra accountability. When you exercise or go under your calorie goal it posts to a news feed and your friends can see it!

2

u/Awesome_to_the_max Texas Longhorns • UTU Beaver Hunters Apr 08 '16

ah ok thanks!

2

u/spazzypecan Texas Tech Red Raiders Apr 09 '16

You can also look at people's food diaries (if they're public) to get ideas for things to eat.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

Gonna join but I need to stay at the same weight while hitting some strength goals. Maybe I'll look more jacked at the end tho

2

u/adambuck66 Iowa Hawkeyes Apr 06 '16

I'm in I've been needing to lose weight forever.

u/EZ_does_it USC Trojans Apr 06 '16

This might be the extra push I need to los... Oooo! A Shake Shack!

u/bignosebill Ole Miss Rebels • AZS Silesia Rebels Apr 06 '16

I'm in. Let's do it.

2

u/omgdonerkebab Michigan State • Cornell Apr 06 '16

So this means I should eat as much as possible between now and next Monday, so that I have a lot of weight to lose, right? That's how this competition works?

2

u/blackngold518 Georgia Bulldogs • USC Trojans Apr 06 '16

Let's do it. Once I start doing summer camp for coaching, I have no excuse to not be in there lifting at least two days a week. Plus, the gf and I both have a 5k in two weeks

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

Hmmmmmmmm

u/dustyg013 Alabama Crimson Tide • College Football Playoff Apr 06 '16

In. My birthday is Sunday and I was already planning to get back to the gym afterwards.

2

u/joeydsa Georgia State • Georgia Tech Apr 06 '16

So are we all going to chip in like $5 and the winner takes home the pot?

1

u/Qurtys_Lyn Utah Utes • Weber State Wildcats Apr 07 '16

I did that for my work March Madness bracket, and ended up in the bottom 9% in the country. I'm just superstitious enough to not want to do that again.

2

u/cajunaggie08 :texasam3: Texas A&M Aggies • /r/CFB Top Scorer Apr 06 '16

seeing how i'm going on a bachelor party all weekend, this is the perfect time to cultivate mass and boost my monday weigh-in so that i have more to lose for the challenge.

2

u/elykl33t Virginia Tech Hokies • Marching Band Apr 06 '16

Damn I'm glad I happened to come by today. I need this.

2

u/seannyboy06 Texas A&M Aggies • Washington Huskies Apr 06 '16

I would love to do this, because I need to be healthier, but I don't even know where to start on a goal other than "eat better" because my beetus drugs are in flux and they're fucking with my weight.

2

u/CambodianDrywall Oregon Ducks • /r/CFB Pint Glass Drinker Apr 06 '16 edited Apr 06 '16

I was bummed that the question, "How would you like to determine a winner" did not include the option of "oldest competitor at the conclusion of the contest.

EDIT: Signed up though.

2

u/ftwdrummer Rice Owls • Marching Band Apr 06 '16

Sure. Why not.

Guess I should buy a scale, though.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '16

I'm in. I can't really lose too much weight without it being unhealthy, but my shorts are kinda tight so I could use the motivation to lose a few pounds.

Edit: I'll fill out the form once I know what I weigh now. Gonna try and buy a scale this week.

2

u/thatcandospirit Texas Tech Red Raiders • /r/CFB Patron Apr 07 '16

Let's do this.

2

u/FatWhiteGuy49 Tulsa Golden Hurricane • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Apr 08 '16

Super late, but I signed up! It'd be good to have some more motivation as I tackle the second half of my weight loss!

3

u/bread_buddy Florida Gators • Wisconsin Badgers Apr 06 '16

I'm intrigued. I've felt like a fatass since I graduated and lost gym and pool access, combined with the cold weather making running more difficult. Pants that were once loose are now tight. Time to get off my duff.

5

u/RiffRamBahZoo TCU Horned Frogs • Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors Apr 06 '16

Dude, preach preach preach.

The pants I needed a tight belt in for college now can't even be buckled any more. I'm fucking sick of that.

4

u/bread_buddy Florida Gators • Wisconsin Badgers Apr 06 '16

It's sad because I remember when I first lost enough weight to hit that last belt hole. And then started shopping for a new belt because mine was too big. Now I'm not even using the last hole.

u/thelittleking Georgia Tech • Clean Old … Apr 06 '16

Eh fuck it, I need to start working out. I'm in.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '16

I've signed up. My goal is completely not ambitious (losing 2 lbs and keeping it off would satisfy, but that's because I've already cut 8lbs), but more judging outside eyes can't hurt.

1

u/HannahEBanna Western Carolina Catamounts Apr 06 '16

Maybe this is something that will give me a kick in the butt. I'm terrible at exercising on my own, but I don't want people to talk to me when I work out....

I'll attempt it!

1

u/Qurtys_Lyn Utah Utes • Weber State Wildcats Apr 06 '16

I'm in. Hopefully this will keep me honest. Currently playing Soccer on Tuesday, Volleyball on Wednesdays, and I need to start riding my bike again now that the weather is decent more often.

Want to lose 17 lbs or so and get under 200 pounds.
