3 Fat Guys Challenge Each Other to Lose Weight

What’s up everybody!! Weighed in at 278 this evening. Happy to say that the 9 lb loss came without having to starve myself or kill myself in the gym. I’m on a fun workout regiment where I see some muscle growth and am still losing weight. Thank you to everyone for following along, and well try to post more fun random pictures and videos in the months to come!

-Marco

Trae here for a weigh in. Down about 5 pounds since we started this. I'm happy with the progress but nowhere near the end goal!

I know we've been fairly inactive this time around and I do apologise. With the times were in with COVID and what not working out has been a bit of a struggle. But I have been able to try and slowly change the way I eat.

We are supposed to do a weigh in today. This is mine. A good start considering I've only really started eating less food. It's a good start in a long journey.

I've discovered that fitness can be a roller coaster. I've been as low as 270. And now I'm about my heaviest I've been in a couple of years. I've crushed it on PRs and have had to push through plateaus. Sometimes we need to the motivation of friends and competition to push us through. So we are back at it, 3 fat guys challenging each other to lose weight. This is just another step in my journey to be better. I'm looking forward to what should be some fun.

WHATS UP EVERYBODY! We’re back again. Like Bacon said in the previous post, we’re back at the challenge again. However this time we will be going longer than just 3 months.

In order for this to be a more permanent lifestyle we are going to be attempting to keep the posts going for a year... or longer if we like how it’s going.

I’m currently sitting at 287 lbs and as you can see in the wonderful picture, I have a lot of work ahead 😂😂 My first milestone I’m aiming for is 270 lbs. Time to get this back going.

After our initial challenge 2 years ago I had hoped that I could make this a way of life. It didn't change anything long term. I have gained back more weight than I had lost Durning that first challenge over 2 years ago.

Since then I have met a beautiful girl and we are now Engaged. I am also going to be the Best Man in my brother's wedding. Because of these two great things, I Have decided that I don't wanna be a big fat guy in the pictures of weddings anymore. So I take this opportunity to start this challenge back up.

No idea how long we are going to do it for this time. But I think it needs to be done. So I am going to make this time to officially challenge Trae Boese and Marco Psihountas in a 2nd round of our challenge. Hopefully I can change my life for the better.

Our competition might be over but that doesn't mean our journey is over. Marco is now on a path of bulking up because he thinks he's some kind of body builder or something and since Trae got a late start he is supposed to be continuing the groundwork that he later out late for himself. I myself am still on a plan of weight loss. My goal weight is to be at a much healthier place around 250 lbs.
What we need to do now is get together and get our finished pictures so that we can get out comparison pictures up and then you guys, our supporters, can cruelty decide who won the competition. Your vote will really be the deciding factor in who wins the competition and who has to Do the Walk down Mass Street. I think that Marco and I can get together soon but a new pic with the three of us won't be possible until Trae gets into town from Colorado.
But the real reason that we started this competition was because we wanted to try to start a little brand for ourselves. Maybe do a podcast about movies, TV shows, and fitness stuff but we haven't really discussed it more than that. Now we want your feedback. Do you think it would be a good idea for us to get together weekly or monthly to do some sort of podcast thing? Would you listen to that? Let us know. -Bacon

It's been a wonderful journey of ups and downs and big changes in the last 3 months. 11 almost 12 pounds lost from my initial weigh in. It most likely could've been better for me but we all have to start somewhere! I'm proud of Marco and Bacon and I'm happy we got to do this. -Trae

Congrats to bacon on his huge success. Kinda hard to take the picture but the scale says 256 which puts me at about 15 lbs down this morning. Compared to the last couple days this is a little heavy, so I may post again soon just to reassure myself. These past 3 months have been great, and now onto new goals. I will be continuing to try and lose fat, but now I'm going to focus a lot on trying to get stronger. I will be doing the same 3 month format and will be posting max videos soon. Anyone is welcome to join. I will also be posting before and after pics from the summer when I get a chance. Thank you all for your love and support.

Well it was a long three months. Had some ups and some downs but I'm pretty happy that I did what I did. Lost some weight. Got a few tattoos and had a pretty fun time competing against these two guys. Lost 27lbs. I had fun and am very happy with my progress. But this is just the beginning. I'm still 30lbs away from my goal weight but it's a good start.-Bacon

Got a late start and haven't taken it as serious as the other two have. Still a month to shed some solid weight. Regardless though, I couldn't be more proud of Marco and Bacon. I hope everyone has enjoyed what they've seen. - Trae

One month left. Had a little bit of fun this weekend. Still at that 20lb goal after 2 months. Let's finish strong. -Marco

289. Still working. My weigh in before the 1st day of the final month of this little challenge of ours.-Bacon

Well it's official... I'm under 250 lbs. I can honestly say this hasn't happened since I was a college wrestler. 249.0 w/o phone in hand.
-Marco

WHATS UP FACEBOOK! I hope y'all are having a great summer! Around August first the three of us will be posting updated weights and maybe even progress pics as we move into the final month of our competition. As of right now I do believe that the smallest loser has to walk down mass st in a Wonder Woman costume until further noted. WE STILL WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU GUYS! Post post post! Anything from favorite exercises or workout music, to pictures of progress from your own challenge. Post it all! Share with friends, and give us ideas on what we should do after this challenge is done. Time to get this work in at the gym. ✌🏽

292 on an official Scale after not doing anything for about a week. Not too bad. Since we have been relatively inactive lately how about we start getting some of y'all participating? If anybody has lost any weight or even gained some motivation because of us show off. Show is some progress pictures. We would love to see how far you've come too. Plus if you want you can make whomever you're rooting for In out little competition do something embarrassing. Just trying to get some outside participation.-Bacon

Blew past 5000 today. Feels good to get back in and working after my slight hiatus. Weighed in at 281 pm the scale in the gym. But I'll check that for real at work tomorrow. Stay tuned for that.

While Marco and Bacon are in Kansas with their fancy watches and ellipticals I decided to attempt to conquer this wonderful hill out here in Colorado. With the help of Five Finger Death Punch I managed to hit 2 miles and get to the top 3 times. They may be beating me so far but I'm coming.

-Trae

Bacon what did you say about a 5k(started at .34 miles)... thought I had the trail to myself this morning, but guess I was wrong. First picture is with zoom, bottom is without zoom.

Closing in on 5k....strides. That counts right?

Now this is a prize 😂😂

Marco isn't the only one to post Douche-y things. After a weekend of birthday shenanigans it's back to work for me. After a decent Arm work out I hit the elliptical for 30 minutes. My strides and mileage. Plus my 1st ever Dbag gym selfie.

That pic was taken at about 2.25 miles. I looked a lot worse after the rest. 😂😂😂 bacon and trae, what did you do today?

Rockfest 2017. TBM ready to go. Celebrating a couple victories today. Bacon is under 300 for the first time in 6 years, and Marco can fit an XL again. We have vegetables in a backpack.... that's not in the picture.

Health tip. Get you a dog like mine. 105+ lbs and when you take him on a run he makes you drag him the first half and only wants to sprint the whole way home... love you buddy.
