It’s Day 74 and I have a contest for you. It’s called Guess the Weight and Guess the Weight to Be.As you will see in the image below, there are two images of me on March 22 and May 31.

In this blog post’s comment area, put in the weight you think I was on March 22 and the weight you predict I will be on June 28.

Remember: I have not looked at any of my numbers on the scale during this process. My objective is to desensitize myself to the numbers on the scale.

I like the Spiderverse story line because it had so much imagination.

I will accept entries up to June 27.

There’s a prize! In fact what fitness/weight loss blog would not have a prize that involved chocolate? I will send the winning person some of my favourite chocolate. It will be from one of the shops in Kitsilano. Please visit the site and do things.

In a fairly irrelevant note, my bike had a flat tire today. My IT bands were happy for this, but my wish to improve my overall numbers was unsatisfied.

    I think you were 268 and will end up at 216.
    Good job by the way, your level of commitment is a good inspiration.

      Is this the same numbering system you use on your stock portfolio?

    Well done, Robert!

    My guesstimate (slimming black shorts in 2nd pic aside) is that you have dropped 39 lbs.

    Starting weight: 266. May 31 weight:227

    You started with 278.5lb and is now 230.1lb.

      And yes, I’ll remember you like milk chocolate.

    Robert – Looking good. I know this guess doesn’t follow your instructions but I would say you have lost about 30 lbs, and many inches and gained lots of muscle mass and cardio endurance.

    I’m guessing 50 lbs. for the end result. Keep at it.

    Wild guesses… Started at 285 and went down to 250? I don’t know, I’m not good at this.

    Next time your in the supermarket look at a 1kg of hamburger. Think of that volume and weight gone from your body. Keeps me going.

    I think you started at 268 and have lost weight, gained muscle so it will net out at 240. I’m impressed with your commitment and your analytical approach to the whole exercise (no pun intended!)

      Like you didn’t intend that pun. Seriously.

    I figure I was 288 and I’m going to be 258. That’s 2 pounds a week for 15 weeks. I honestly have no idea where I started. I don’t get to win the chocolate.

    Your posts have been an inspiration. I’ve enjoyed reading your daily diary. The main thing is, do you feel better? Do you have more mobility? Does your hip hurt less? Even though I believe how you feel means more than the numbers, I will never give up a chance to win chocolate, even if it’s virtual chocolate. I’m going to guess you started at 290, and are now 272.

      I feel stronger. Not sure about better. Mobility, yes. Hip … not so much. I am going to try the physiotherapist and say “OK … I’ve done my 3 months of work. What are you going to do about it?”
