Back in April, I posted a little thread asking for tips on weight loss...
http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/691331.html "So, last year over Labor Day week a group of friends that I ride with bet me almost $500 that I couldn't lose a ton of weight this year.
I've dropped over 50 lbs so far... looking to lose about 50 more. I can't wait to get some water time to see what effect all of this will have on my riding.
I've always been the biggest guy in the group, and with snowboarding it never really mattered. With wakeboarding, that just isn't the case. Seems like I work 10 times harder than everyone else and never see even 10% of the progress.
Mostly, I'm posting all this in a pretty blatant attempt to get some encouragement from the community... But I'd also like to hear what you guys might recommend as far as wakeboard specific workouts/weight loss regimens... and I'd love to hear from some other big guys that might be out there tearing it up."
So here's the update. We just came off our Labor Day trip and I had my official weigh in. After a year, I am down EXACTLY 80lbs. And yeah, I won the bet!
So now, floating around 250, I'm headed into the off season ready to drop 30 - 40 more and pick up some lean mass. This summer has been amazing for me as far as wakeboarding goes. I'm hoping next summer leaves this one in the dust!
Thanks to all who helped inspire me to get this far.
