Month 6


It seems not that long ago Nick and Joey were a combined 656.4 lbs. Now they come into the last month of our competition at 547.4 down a combined 109lbs. While there was not a ton of weight lost this past month both ended the month in the red which is a positive thing.

For month 6 we are pulling out all the stops to try to have the biggest weight loss of the competition. To do this I'm implementing several new wrinkles to the competition.

The first of these wrinkles is that all competitors will post at least once a week. I think last month both Gargantuar and Psychotron were a little loose with their responsibility to post their experiences, trials, and triumphs. The reasoning behind this change is two fold. The first reason being that many people have donated money, time, and support to motivate Joe and Nick and make this weight loss competition a success. I think its important to show these people the experience and that you are working to make their donations worth it. The second reason is that with transparency it is harder to hide lapses in exercise or good meal choices. If growing up in a catholic family taught me anything it was the power of guilt.

The second wrinkle will be the final grand prize. This will be the largest of the entire competition. The winner of the Psychotron vs Gargantuar challenge will win 100$ and a gift card to Dick's sporting goods. As always we are open to any additional contributions. Both Psychotron and Gargantuar are greedy SOB's so the more we put up the more motivated they will be to skip that snack or go for that extra walk. Nothing is too little.

The final wrinkle is...


I will be joining the final month of the competition.

Rules: I will be going head to head with each competitor for the final month. This will be based only on total weight loss. There will be no percentage of total weight. For the prize I will be putting up 50$ of my money. If either Psychotron or Gargantuar beat me they will receive 25$.

Why am I doing this? To hopefully motivate both these guys to lose as much as possible. So bring on your healthy pizzas, and spin classes you little sissy girls.

Good Luck in Month 6.

  1. Good luck to everyone. Adam Schefter is reporting via Twitter that Joey is starting a new type of workout TODAY in pursuit of the win. Adding new activities in the last month?!?!? Crazy. This man has desire and will not be stopped until he wins!
