If you’ve been to Tyler’s site lately, you’ll see that he’s involved in a weight-loss challenge with Jonathan Volk. As a former fitness fanatic, I was thrilled to see these guys trying to better themselves, and using the contest as a way to motivate each other.

Their goal – 10lbs in 10 weeks. 10 WEEKS!? What a joke. Worse yet, they’re struggling to hit that goal, with just a few days left in the competition. I’m speechless!

Years ago, I was in a similar situation.. Bad eating habits and lack of workouts caused me to gain 30+ lbs.. I hit the gym, and became more conscious about my diet. Within the first 10 days, I lost 13 POUNDS!. Sure, a lot of it was probably water weight, but think about what I’m saying here.. In the next few months, I went on to drop almost 40 pounds, and packed on muscle like you wouldn’t believe!

From what I’ve gathered, Tyler’s plan was to walk/job a few days a week, and eat better. No one loses weight effectively unless they build muscle, it’s just the way your body works. Yet people still want to believe otherwise.

I fractured my left foot a few months ago, and I can’t do ANY cardio as a result. But I’m willing to bet that I can still drop 15+ pounds in the next month, solely by doing heavy lifting on a daily basis..

Anyone want to compete with me?
