El Presidente Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I am happy to run a FBC (Fat bastard competition) this year commencing in a few weeks. It will run for 12 weeks (three weigh ins). Always fun but let me know if you are "in" New Years resolutions? I am pretty solid. Balls in and go hard leaving nothing on the table. Yours? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnS Posted January 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2022 When one asks if we need a 'Fat Bastard' competition then, ironically, that's a sure sign that we definitely need one. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Smokin' Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 My attention will be focused on substantially reducing my alcohol intake in 2022. Likely will result in some weight loss, but that's where my focus will be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example: I can see beer/sugary cocktails having more weight influence than say a shot of sipping tequila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but alcohol itself is empty calories (in the sense that it doesn't provide any nutrients other than plain calories). It also might slow down one's metabolism though that is less clear. Edit: just as comparison a can of beer will be about 150 calories, and a shot of tequila/vodka/whisky with the same amount of alcohol will be 95. So yes beer will definitely have a bigger impact but if you have 10 drinks it's about 1,500 calories vs 950 calories, a lot of extra calories either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a rather large dude and can consume 15 beers without blinking. I suspect I'll drop 25lbs or so simply by quitting (or severely reducing) my beer intake. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazy 7+9% IPA's, NEIPA's and TIPA's have become a real weakness over the last two years. I dread to think how many calories are in each delicious offering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I quit drinking (big beer guy too), I developed a sweet tooth that I didn't have when I was a drinker. Now if you can quit the beer and avoid the sugar you'll be missing, you're on to something. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! While I've never had much interest in 'sweets' per say, my cripple is greasy foods. I'm one of the few people on this earth that actually likes McDonalds and other forms if cheap cheeseburgers. I have very little interest in $15-$20 dollar fancy burgers. But I have little issue with McDonalds, Burger King, etc. I've kept that under control over the last number of years, but if I'm going to slip, that's where it's gonna be. Just need to fight hard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post El Presidente Posted January 3, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2022 We have done it as a % of starting bodyweight in the past. We might do 2 categories this year. 1. Loss as a % of starting bodyweight. 2. Lean muscle matrix. I will have my PT mate work out the formulae. this one will require a bodyscan to start and will appeal to those who already exercise regularly. Let me know if you have an idea on the matrix to use. Members can work out which comp to enter into. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
