I've given myself a personal challenge to loose 125lbs by March 9th, 2010 to coincide with the release of The Scarlet Ending's new album "Ghosts". After seeing the amount of work and passion these guys can put into what they love, why can't I put that much work and love into myself?

Are you going to do enter the Shay Carl weight loss contest.

[ProjectFortyTwo]

Best of luck to you! I'm just starting my big push to lose weight in 2010. I'm trying to lose 140 pounds between 12/19/09 and the end of 2010.

DAMN MATT IM SOO FIRED UP THAT I GOT TO USE CAPS LOCK kick some ass this week with the exercise. ill do the same

And oh yeah... eat a cookie or two and don't feel guilty. I think that is the most important part about this - that you don't deprive yourself of things you love until the weight all goes away - because it's so tempting once you reach your goal to say "Well, I'm skinny now, so I can have as many cookies as I want and I haven't had them in SOOO long and I miss them!!" The temptation to eat more than a couple of cookies is great for me, however, as I am something of a cookie monster. :(

Cool on the caffeine cut - I think I am going to go that way too. Not only will you have no option but to drink water but I know that if I have one, even ONE pop (even a Diet pop!), it completely cuts my desire to drink water by 100%, and I am basically screwed for the day.

You make me laugh and you're inspiring. I am slowly working my way through your videos (on sloooow internet!) from the beginning and I think the fact that you have wonderful character and humour points to success for you. :)

[SRTOOLEY]

Some people never put in more than 80% ... and knowing you for as long as I have I can say that you're capable of 125%.

[kaziemae]

drinking more water will push the weightloss too, I promise, I admire you for giving up caffeine. you are doing GREAT. The power is within you to stare down those cookies !!! bring some healthy food for the party and eat that. Keep up the great work.
