Chris Wright: An inspiration to us all
May 26, 2009
Today on the day of the weigh in, we turn the spotlight on competitor Chris Wright. Chris has steadily lost weight over the last 6 weeks, striving for a 20lb loss. As of today, he had achieved his goal, but the road has not been an easy one. Last week, Chris found out that he was overqualified for his position at Nike. It just so happened that Wright’s “can do” attitude and strong work ethic was too much for the corporate environment, and was asked to step down. With a box in one arm, and a smile on his face, Wright left the Nike campus with a fresh outlook. Some would have taken this as a setback, a reason to sit on the couch and drown in sorrow and the sweet embrace of twinkies and cola, to cast off the weight loss, and embrace the weight gain, or to begin drinking so hard that his blood would actually be composed totally of alcohol, and devoid of blood…….but not Chris, not now. Chris began running, in a Forrest Gumpish type move, Wright took to the streets, beating down the pain with each foot strike on the pavement, building back his confidence with each bead of sweat that fell from his head. Chris Wright would not be beaten, by life, by weight, by corporate org charts. This was the beginning, HIS beginning.
Congrats Chris….well done.
One second they were there, the next the were gone. Everyone has their limits, apparently Jen Bunch can only be around a plate full of cookies for an hour before indulging. Bunch was the target of a vicious attack by a baker terrorist this morning, fellow competitor John Nouguier was also the recipient of a plate of temptation, “Tell whoever, I don’t like oatmeal cookies.”
Bunch was not as lucky. Was this an isolated attack, will there be more, or will there be retaliation? Time will tell.
It looks as though John Nouguier and Jen Bunch are the latest targets in a food warfare attack, this time the weapon of choice, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. No group has yet to claim responsibility for the attack, the note left on each did nothing more but to sarcastically call out the weight that each competitor had lost so far. The question that needs to be asked, though, is did Kurt Nation also recieve a plate of sweet temptation. If not, is this a team attack, or one radical acting alone.
Stay tuned for developing stories.
True colors of the competition are beginning to show as the competition grinds on. On the heels of a second Manwich victory, many are left with the nagging feelings of defeat, while some are pointing fingers and wondering “how they did that.”
The question in the minds of all the people keeping tabs on this competition is: what will the next two weeks bring? This weigh in, percentages were down, will that be the spring boards or the kiss of death.
Stay tuned.

Tips for getting it going again.
May 7, 2009
In an effort to jump start the competition again, here are some things that you can do to get your weight loss going again.
Adapted drinking/exercising games:
• Star Wars exercise game:
_every time a storm trooper is shot, and his armor does not protect him, do 10 push ups
_everytime Darth Vader chokes someone, do 2 sets of deep knee bends
_everytime Yoda backwards something says: 10 bench dips you should do
_every time Luke or Anakin whines about something, do 10 sit ups
_ every time some one says “I have a bad feeling about this”, pause the movie and walk a mile
Group fun:
Exercise (formerly beer) Pong
Take two sets of 10 cups, write different exercise on each of the ten cups (x2), arrange them like bowling pins at opposite ends of a ping pong table. One team tries to land ping pong balls into the opposing teams cups. As the exercises are done, remove the cup, first team to lose all their cups, loses the game, but win because of all the healthy activity they are doing.
Tim’s ultimate eating workout:
Get a fork, and a spoon. Duck Tape them to a dumbell of your choosing, (preferably 20lbs. or more). Make a big dinner, and enjoy.
Picture of Nouguier surfaces? Fake or WOW
May 7, 2009
This picture was sent into the blog from a source who did not want to be identified. Is this a current picture of John Nouguier? If so, competitors should be scared, it looks as though John could be up for a huge number at the next weigh in.
WHAT THE HELL!!!
May 7, 2009
Alright, everyone is busy, that I will give you. I have not kept up on my blogging duties, but there has been very little doing on the challenge front. No stories, no trash talking. Either competitors have hit the proverbial wall, or, the reality of 8 weeks is starting to set in.
LITE THE FIRES FOLKS!!! Let’s get this going again!
