Encouragement needed for contest

[*Becky*]

With my b/f. We each want to lose 30 lbs., but we're having a contest to see who can lose 20 first. The problem is, he can lose 10 in a day for real!! He is 6'4", 260 lbs. and does construction in the sun all day and when he sweats a lot and it's real hot he isn't too hungry and loses a bunch. Whereas I sit on my butt all day in an air conditioned house, using up almost no calories typing and eating my bomboms (j/k). I need some encouragement and support. I personally think he should have to lose 25 to my 20 (hee hee). We haven't set up what the winner will get yet and so maybe if it was something I REALLY wanted I'd have more incentive... Actually losing 20 should be incentive enough, and before him would be even better!

Anyone else ever have a contest with their honey? And did you win or lose? What did you do to get it off?

Becky, here is one condition that you should put in there - make him weigh 3 days in a row when he has lost something!!! Sounds like he is only losing water weight to me. Maybe you can be the winner by doing that!!!

Never had a contest with either of my husbands (married twice).

But you can do it girl. YOu can beat him. Up your exercising. Check out the website for exercising whle you're sitting. And you know the rules. No eating after 7 pm. Heaviest meals at breakfast, plenty of water, fruits and veggies.

Good luck. Hope you win. Either way, though you win cuz of the weight loss.

You can do it Sure you can find a very nice incentive

Good luck ... and keep us posted

[*Becky*]

Thanks guys. Some good ideas. Keep em coming

[JoRae]

I agree with Jipi....
You can find a *nice* reward for all your effort...Then while getting your reward you can burn up some more calories...

Good Luck, Becky!

And I have found that if you increase sxe...you increase metabolism...and break plateaus! LOL

Guys lose faster than us...so he should have to lose double of your 20.

Like mIssus said...there are a whole slue of exercises you can do while sitting...

Go Becky!

You guys are too funny ! She's an attractive gal and can get whatever she "wants" whenever she wants. in that aspect. That's the benefit with being with a younger man, right Becky?

I would definitely go for a expensive pair of shoes, dress or handbag...something that you wouldn't buy for yourself normally.

FPN is right on - I'm not sure how much longer I can keep up with his libido!! And if it's true it speeds up metabolism, then why am I not 110 lbs. by now?? lol And instead of him tapering off a little, he's only increasing! Yikes. Lucky I've hit my middle 30's and enjoy it more now.

You Can Do IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[want2bthinner]

have you ever tried pilates?

[*Becky*]

LOL Songstress.

want2bthinner, no I haven't. Do you do it?

[SWEETJAS]

Of course you have to sabotage him!!!! Make protein shakes for each of you and add weight gainer to his LOL!!!!

[naz51]

Go Becky Go!!!! Go Becky Go!!!

He should have to carry an innertube filled with water. Men don't carry the same kind of waterweight as women. He'd probably lose more weight carrying the dang tube around lol.

Good luck. My husband would win hands down. He can lose 20 lbs in one day playing golf and eating just one burger instead of two. Luv him, anyway lol.
