I’m still watching Dan’s videos, even after removing his Twitter feed. He now has a new series<\/a>, called ‘FAT<\/strong>‘. He talks about himself and DadCubed have started a challenge to lose weight. They’re going to eat less and move more, and they’ve started today.
\nEvery Thursday this month, they’re going to do a Weigh-In. If they lose any pounds, there’s going to be an unboxing video. But if one or both of them do NOT lose any pounds… a challenge is issued to the loser(s). What those challenges will be, are to be determined at a later time.<\/p>\n

They also encourage everyone to do this, to make it a real thing of promoting fitness. Seeing how I’ve been going from 230 to 270 pounds, I’m going to do this as well. Eat less, watch my calorie intake, and walk a mile every day. Then every Thursday I’ll weigh myself to see if my weight has changed. I don’t know what I’ll reward myself with if I win, or what I’ll have to do if I fail. I guess, knowing I lost weight is probably the best way to win.
\nIt’s not going to kill me by doing this. It will<\/span>, if I don’t… and this is a good wakeup call. If Dan and Steve are going to do this, I’m<\/em> going to do this.<\/p>\n

I’m the 617th person to sign up to this challenge. You can see my progress with this chart<\/a>. To put yourself into this challenge, go here<\/a> (you don’t need a Reddit username to join). If you’re from the US (or aren’t a fan of Metric units), you’ll have to look up a few conversion calculators on the internet, to convert FT to cm(for Height), and LB to Kg(for weight).
\nAlso, good luck if you decide to join this! I wish myself the same. It will be very hard, as I tend to snack a lot and not burn off those calories (more of a sitter than a mover). But if I can do this, I can go even further than a month. I plan to lose 50-70LB by the end of the month (well, at least try).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
