The question will resolve on January 1st, 2025. If I weigh more than 200 lbs I will resolve NO. If I weigh less than 200 lbs I will resolve YES.

when i hover over his profile it says banned. is it banned or deleted?

I dunno. I saw that too but hedged a little since the UI is inconsistent.

8/12: 236.4 lbs

You are off to a great start and have plenty of time to lose the weight at the slow and stead rate of 1 lb every 4 days. Don't mind the weekly cycles and keep focused on the weekly trends.

8/11: 235.6 lbs

8/10/2024: 235.6 lbs

8/9/2024: 236.8 lbs

bought Ṁ250 YES from 50% to 59%

8/8/2024: 238.0 lbs... no change

If you just started exercising your body may start retaining more water weight, which could be discouraging. Just stick with it!

It's Wednesday, what lifts are we doing today?

Squat, bench press, overhead press, curls, and dumbbell rows. I’m open to lifting program recommendations. I’ve done Stronglifts 5x5 in the past, but right now I’m just doing lifts I enjoy. I mostly just want to try to maintain lean muscle mass while in a deficit so I don’t come out of this looking like a stick figure.

Beautiful, no notes

@Stedward are you betting in this market? Let us naysayers pay you to do it! I’ll come back and bet what I can periodically. You’ve set an ambitious goal and I think it’s not likely to pan out, but I want to see you do it!

bought Ṁ100 NO

I am betting down because that's a lot to lose, but I'm rooting for you!

It’s certainly an aggressive goal 😎

08/07/2024: 238.0 lbs

Don’t let the increase fool you. It’s poop and water from replenished glycogen stores. Deficit has been maintained.

sounds like free money if someone's betting it down. go for it op!

I'm going to bet this down to 50%.

bought Ṁ120 NO from 57% to 50%

But why? I will not fail.

opened a Ṁ250 NO at 50% order

Some motivate with votes of confidence, others motivate by putting mana on the table 📈📈📈

This is an aggressive goal, but absolutely achievable:

• 1 pound of body weight is roughly equivalent to 3500 calories.

• Total calorie deficit needed: 37.4 lbs x 3500 calories/lb = 130,900 calories
• Total days: From July 8, 2024, to January 1, 2025 is approximately 177 days.
• Daily calorie deficit: 130,900 calories / 177 days ≈ 740 calorie deficit below TDEE per day

I have faith you can do it
You will need a calorie tracker app (Cronometer or MyFitnessPal) and a food scale (cheap on Amazon).
You should expect and welcome feeling hungry, but that means it's working.

Good luck have fun

bought Ṁ250 YES from 38% to 63%
