Alright you fat little bastards. This is it. All participants have until the end of today to send me their current weights for the first checkup of the official Pye In The Face Pork Ass Challenge. Here is how it will work:
– The Challenge will run from now until Wednesday July 5th – 11 Weeks.
– Every Wednesday, participants will email me their current weight and I will post it here on the blog for all to see/encourage/mock.
– Since we’re all of varying sizes and sexes, a’ la Celebrity Fit Club, we’ll set a target weight for ourselves, based on realistic personal experience, and the measure of success will be whether we hit that target in the 11 weeks allotted.
– We need full disclosure for this to work properly, and we’re all on the honor system. No telling porkie pies, mate!
– Prizes and awards are to be determined, but at the very least will include bragging rights and the ability to put on a swimsuit without crying and cutting yourself on the forearm with shards of beach beer bottle glass.
Now who the fuck is with me?! Let’s drop some blubber, buddies! Here is the tale of the tape so far. If you want to get in on this, send me your info by the end of the day, and be prepared to go the distance:

I’ll eventually get some sort of graph software to chart this out week to week, but for now – let’s just get the numbers on the board. There is room for many more. Best of luck to us all – this will be quite the reverse-culinary adventure.
Currently 205 lbs…
Goal is 170 lbs…
Christ all mighty.
Currently 160 lbs
Goal is 140 lbs
I’ll second Christ all mighty.
This challenge is a little late… I just miraculously shed 18 lbs by, get this, eatinng less. In the past month there has been a running component but never-the-less I need to loose anoother 20 or so.
start me out at 238
my target is 219
A weight at which I will fit in clothes I wore UofG.
250 lbs of pure love machine and would not have it any other way.
Sorry no competition for me
Dude – last time I was 240 I wrestled in High School. I could do 255 or 250.
I’m in.
Currently 155
Goal 135
I will not, however agree to shave my head or do anything humiliating (other than the current humiliation of weighing 155lbs) if I do not attain my goal by 7/4, because, as Dr. Phil says, you can’t control how much weight you lose, you can only control what you do in pursuit of that goal. So, I agree to eat less and do more. I agree to always take the stairs at the State House. I agree to play rambunciously with my daughter and her cockroach. If I don’t – may I be forced to attach Hissy to my hair for the big USA birthday celebration.
Pye… I’m in…
Put me down for 190
Goal – 173
Pye, its Doyle my man!
Current weight: 185 lbs
Target weight: 170 lbs
I’m going running tonight!
What the heck, i’m in. i need something to do anyway. current weight 154 want to lose 10 lbs so i no longer have to set the scale at 150…
Well Dave you’ve done it again. You’ve poked fun at my middle and now it feels like defending itself. Couldn’t we have just left fat-enough alone?
I heard somewhere that muscle is heavier than fat so I’m going to suggest I lose my muscles.
Actually, this challenge comes at a prefect time to convert my love handles into something that will make my wife love me more.
Current lard-bucket: 185
Dream super-buff model: 170 with serious Arnold-ish definition
I changed my mind after weighing myself last night. I’m currently 147. I’d like to be a lean mean 135 again.
Sorry this is late.
