Challenging Yourself for One Month

by Sue on September 9, 2008

Contestants:  Me vs. My BF!

Since my bf has started a full time job and is pretty much at his desk all day, he’s noticed how much weight he has been putting on and as for me, I really want to gain more muscle and weight off my midsection.  So I decided to make a bet with him to see who can lose the most weight after 1 month.  We started yesterday and the whole idea of the challenge is to pretty much push each other to work out and eat more healthily.  The challenge ends on October 8.
The real idea is to get my BF to be more active and eat healthier, and I figured that this challenge would push him in that direction.

We’ll see what happens!  I know that I can win!  But I know that he likes a challenge and is very competitive so he may surprise me.  (I hope he isn’t reading this, haha)

So I Ask: Have you ever had a fitness/weight loss challenge with your significant other or a friend?  If so, how did it go and who won? :)

    Never done a weight loss challenge, although I have done a weight gain challenge. I lost. The guy that beat me was on a kick to go from being the smallest person in his family to the largest and then back to being the smallest again. We used to weigh the same, but I think he has about 20 pounds on me now. He doesn’t run anymore.

    I had a mutual challenge with my girlfriend. We decided to exercise everyday for 24 days with a small prisze at the end (of course from me to her :) ). It worked out quite well as my plan was to return her back to exercising that she left for a while. She has been working out on her own since then.

    Actually, my BF gave me a challenge of sorts. My goal is to lose 26 pounds (I only have 11 left!), and so he said when I lose those pounds he’ll shave his beard (which I’ve consistently bugged him about). I’m estimating he’ll be shaving before Christmas! lol.

    I think if I were you, I would do a weight loss based on percentage of your total body weight. Your BF may lose 20 and you may lose 10, but your 10 may be at a higher percent of your total body weight than his, so therefore, you would win. Just a suggestion.
