Some of you have heard about this in various ways - others may not have, but I wanted to get the word out a bit more...
In March, myself and a few others put together "Velo Losers" to help us shed some pounds. It's been a lot of fun and it's working pretty well for me. With VeloLosers 3 starting in a few days - it's a great time to think about getting your pound shedding in gear!
In VeloLosers - 5 people lost 58.1 pounds
In VeloLosers 2 - we have lost over 80 pounds with a week to go (more people).
The competition aspect of this does help keep myself and others motivated! It's been fun and great to have support along the way.
Here's my stats as of last Friday - as I sit in second place for VL2.
Days: 116
Start Weight: 266.8
Current Weight: 229.4
Weight Loss: 37.40
Pounds/Day: 0.32
Pounds/Week: 2.26
Daily Deficit: ~1,128
Weekly Deficit: ~7,899
Miles: ~1,894
We are "gearing up" for VL3 - which starts on Friday. We have some people continuing - we have some joining! If you'd like to try to leave the realm of Masters Fatty, drop a few pounds, have some fun doing it and maybe even make some money - let me know ASAP!
Having said all of that ... VL1 - my stats were MUCH better than VL2... .05 pounds per day - .3 pounds per week. It gets harder, but the competition keeps me going some days! Don't fear the 2.26! I don't think it's reality any more!
There is a small fee ($20) but that is ALL returned in as prize money. I'm not making anything ... just losing :-)

We picked up 2 more riders
We picked up 2 more riders from the DLV - that gives us 3!
Need to lose a few pounds? We can make a team pursuit squad - or we can get a couple of chicks ... and make it EyeTalian Pursuit!
Get in touch!

Team pursuit
If you need a 4th and don't mind that I probably give nearly 0 draft, I'm down. Heh
