The diet log makes a comeback, in a whole new way

I used to write a diet log, that is - when I was actually on a diet. Mike, Chris and I will be “competing” in a diet contest.

Since it is very hard to compete for pounds, or percentage of body fat, etc - we’ve decided that we’re just going to try to help each other lose weight until we reach our goal weight.

Tomorrow marks day one of this venture, and I will be releasing what my current weight and goal weight are. So stay tuned to our three sites for updates.

If you’d like to join us, send me an email or comment, and we’ll add you to the list. I setup a quick page to keep track of all those that are going to join us. Tell your friends and family members, and join in.

Update - I created a page to keep track of dieters.

Also, remember that tomorrow is weigh in time so post on your respective sites your current weight and your goal weight (if you have a real goal set in mind yet). Photos are welcome (I will be doing one whether you wanna see my naked self or not), but are definitely optional.

Another update - As expected, we’re not alone and people are coming from all over to join up. We really appreciate the help. Even if you don’t join the effort for yourself, join it for us. We need all the support we can get.

If you have a blog, use it to tell your audience to join in before tomorrow. Tell your best friend to do it with you, your sibling, or your parents. For this type of thing to really work, we need to try to let others know that we’re trying - so that they can help out.

Update (wow) - Wow. This type of response is overwhelming. And I wanted to make a few things clear to those that emailed me, etc. You can sign up at any point you don’t need to start today. Also, the word “diet” doesn’t stand for weight-loss. If you need to put on a few pounds, or just generally eat healthier, this effort is for you too. I know a lot of people struggle with being too skinny, or their overall perception of themselves, and you need to know that you are not alone in that. So join up, we’re all here for you.

Oh, and about transplanting my fat to a skinny person? You’d have to pay me for this fat. I’ve worked long and hard for it. ;) Day one weigh in people! Make sure you subscribe to every site on the list of dieters so you can track everyone’s progress, and be motivated to continue.

- If you are going to do photos with your weigh-ins, you may now post them to our very own group on Flickr.

    well you guys are definitely not fat, but it’s always good to lose weight.

  2. Colin D. Devroe Says:

    Umm, we’ll be posting photos Josue - so you will be proven extremely wrong.

  3. abizer Says:

    Count me in - I’m starting to generate a noticeable gravitational field.

  4. Mark Rebec Says:

    Im so in! I never last more than 2 weeks… maybe this will be some motivation!

  5. Jonathan Snook Says:

    I’ll give it a shot. Nothing like a little competition to push me.

  6. /mike » Blog Archive » Going on a diet Says:

    [...] As a geek — or Über geek — I’ve noticed myself becoming more and more rotund. Since I used to be an athlete and very active during my childhood and through high school my shape and weight are starting to annoy me. Colin Devroe and Chris Fehnel feel the same way. [...]

  7. Mike Stickel Says:

    oooooooh yaaaaaa!! This is going to be awesome. Bye bye fatness, helloooo ladies.

  8. Jimmy Wedge Says:

    I’m up for it - I’m off on holiday over summer and want to shed a few pounds!

  9. Bryan Culver Says:

    I’m in. I am not developing a “gravitational field” but I do need to loose a bit of weight.

  10. karmatosed Says:

    I recently lost a lot of weight through changing my diet and starting yoga. I found by reducing the amount of wheat and diary and balancing more towards a vegetarian diet. Small changes like eating breakfast which is one meal a lot of people skip. Small changes often lead to big balance tips on the scales. Doing it as a group is a great way to support each other and when you are dieting that is what is definetly needed.

  11. cavemonkey50 Says:

    Count me in too. I’ve been dieting since February, so this will just be a continuation of my diet. I will release my current weight tomorrow on my website.

  12. Mike Rundle Says:

    Yeah I’m down too.

  13. Mark Rebec’s Blog » Blog Archive » The Diet (Unofficial First Post) Says:

    [...] But enough about that… the “real” launch will come soon, and I’ll tell anyone who’d care to know more about myself and the work I do. The real reason for this post is to drop the word about the diet a few friends and myself will be participating in. Colin Devroe of 9rules initiated the idea. Anyone who’d care to join us is welcome, just hop over here and leave a comment. [...]

  14. Bonita in Pink Says:

    I’m down for it too.
    My husband and I were talking about losing weight and reaching a goal just a week ago.
    He said if I reach my goal of losing 20 lbs by the end of the year, he’d give me 1,000 dollars! haha
    So I’ll join you guys. For sure.
    Sign me up!

    :-)

  15. Ping Six » Colin’s diet and Round 4 update Says:

    [...] One of the benefits of working with the 9rules guys is their amazing sense of creativity. I never know what they might do…keeps me on my toes. Today is an example, Colin has started a Diet Contest. Starting May 30, 2006 a group of people (whoever wants to join) will work together towards a weight loss goal. Pretty cool, isn’t it? Mike is joining in too. If you’re interested in joining The Diet, head on over and sign up. I hope it ends up being a large number of people working together to get more healthy. Love it. [...]

  16. Ruth Bird Says:

    Join me up for the diet list,

  17. KarmaDude Says:

    If I had weight to lose I would join in, hehehe, but this is a cool idea. Here is a cool site for logging your progress: weEndure

  18. Shawn Anthony Says:

    I’m in!

    Metabolism … slowing … down … as I get … older.

    Blogging doesn’t help much either. :)

    It’ll be good to shed an extra pound or two.

  20. Bryan Veloso Says:

    I’m down. I have some weight I need to get rid of BADLY.

  21. Lo-Fi Tribe » Blog Archive » Physical Fitness is a Spiritual Discipline Says:

    [...] In my continuing quest to experience the most fulfilling existence possible, I am going on a diet. I will not be going on just any ole’ diet, mind you. I will be participating in the brand new team effort being launched by 9rules CTO Colin Devroe. There’s a number of 9rules members and other fine folk jumping on the proverbial health wagon, and just in time for summer swimwear! In fact, I do believe a 9rules swimsuit calendar will follow! I’m in pretty decent shape right now, but I could eat healthier and lose an extra pound or five. So, tomorrow marks the start of the diet! Do watch for updates! You can see a list of all the participants on a special page living over at Colin’s blog. [...]

  22. Arjan van der Gaag Says:

    Yeah, I’m in too. It’s beginning to show I’m behind the computer 23 hours a day.

  23. Andrew Nelson Says:

    Ill start by throwing up my lunch tomorrow.

  24. Rida Al Barazi Says:

    I’m very much interested, it’s funny that I have started 10 days ago, but at least I have a better motive now to be with you in the contest.

    Maybe we can share some ideas about our way of dieting too, as a start check The Hacker’s Diet I really enjoyed reading it.

  25. Nick Oder Says:

    I’m in as well. I gained about 20 pounds over the last 5 months while down for the count with mononucleosis. I remember joking about the “kissing disease” back in middle school, but man, I had no idea it hit so hard.

    So not only am I starting to freelance web design, I’m adding in losing 40 pounds (target: 200 pounds) too. The mono must have messed with my head more than I thought.

  26. Tom Kim Says:

    I’ll join. I’m not so sure I’ll change my diet so much as just move around more and sweat now that it’s summer.

  27. kristin Says:

    Add me in on that. I’m up for the next step on my trip to a healthier lifestyle. This is a great idea, thanks for inviting everyone to join in.

  28. Bonita in Pink Says:

    Hey! You can use my real name, Ana Guerrero.
    Bonita is my nick at my blog.
    :-)
    Thanks!

  29. Dennis Bullock Says:

    Man, no diet for me. I need some weight gain! How about a transplant?

  30. Bonita in Pink.com » Burn Baby Burn! Says:

    [...] Hey, so you wanna lose weight with the help of me and a bunch of other bloggers? You do, right!? Yeah, you do. So why don’t you go sign up over at Colin’s blog and join the list of people who are gonna jump on the bandwagon to try to help each other lose weight? I started working out a few weeks ago. And although I’m not sticking to it as faithfully as I should, maybe this will help me stay motivated. I actually bought an Exercise Ball a few months ago and never used it. I will start using it now! I’m pulling out my free weights from my closet. If it rains, and I can’t go to the track, I’ll go to the gym on base and use the treadmill. Whatever I can. Go sign up before tomorrow and let me know if you did. Set yourself an amount of weight you want to lose. I have decided I want to lose 20 lbs by the end of this year! Yes, because if I get pregnant through IVF next year in January, I want to at least have lost some weight before I gain some more through a pregnancy. If I gain pregnancy weight on top of what I’ve gained now, HOLY COW! I’m gonna turn into a whale, seriously! I’m starting faithfully tomorrow. No more jokin’ around. I have a wedding to attend in less than 2 months, so… I’m really motivated right now! I can do this. YOU can do this. WE can do this! Come on… do it. You know you want to. I will be posting my current weight and my goal weight tomorrow. Who wants to join? Dude, I’m so gonna do this! The pool already opened here on base, I HAVE to lose weight. [...]

  31. Eliza Says:

  40. James Mathias Says:

    Sign me up, I’ve got quite a few extra pounds to shed.

    Cool idea for motivation.

  41. Jessica Doyle Says:

    Wow… my thoughts on the matter. Thanks for the opportunity to loose weight with others. I’ve got 30lbs to lose that were put on in four monthes. I am glad the summer is here.

    Good luck to everyone!

What better way to lose weight than go public with it. Every week on Tuesday everyone involved will be posting their progress and tips on their respective websites. Even if you are not looking to lose weight but would like to support us please join the list. You can also read Colin D. Devroe’s original post on the Diet! [...]

  43. Alan M Says:

    I desire to lose weight and gain some physical fitness. And no better time to get started than now,

    As as a matter of fact, I just purchased a domain I intend to use as my fitness journal, fitnesslair.com. So joining “uber geeks” in this challenge may help motivate me to build my site quickly. :) Count me in.

    I want to be in on this! I need some motivation since I am stalled!

    Good luck everyone, i’ll be watching from the stands ;).

  46. cristinamarie Says:

    sure!! I’m in.

  47. Lindsay Says:

    Cute idea! Anyone who reads my blog knows I’m well-versed in the weight struggle. I’d join up, but my case is a bit different I suppose. I just don’t do diets anymore. I do a food plan and fitness for stress management. Much more effective approach for me. Plus I’ve ran more variations of ‘diet’ blogs than you can shake a stick at, hehe. I’ll pass, but I wish you all health & success.

  48. Derek Punsalan Says:

    Add me to the list. Although, I won’t be trying to lose wait, I’ll be trying to gain. No matter what I try - protein shakes, eating binges, weight time, etc - the pounds don’t stick. I’ve been stuck at a 178lb mark (6′2″) for the past four years. I think an extra 10-15 would do a body good.

  49. Bonita in Pink Says:

    Colin, you can add [and her Hubby] next to my name.
    When I told my husband about it, he was down to accompany on my quest! LOL
    We went to weigh in and jogged two miles today.
    Definitely pumped man!

  50. Troy Rutter Says:

    Count me in - Im at the same start as you, 225. Lets go!

  51. Mary & Alan Clark Says:

    This might help provide just enough motivation to finally lose a few pounds. Let’s give it a shout and see what happens.

  52. Joshua Lane Says:

    Count me in for the weight-loss extravaganza! My goal is to lose 25lbs before my 10-year high-school reunion in October.

  53. Richard Herrera Says:

    Coincidentally enough, I started my diet today without knowledge of this contest. It’tl only help me motivate myself. I’m in!

  54. Tracy Mudge Says:

    Ok, This is just the motivation I need. When I first turned 30 I noticed a major increase in my wieght. I gained 30 pounds over last year. Most can not tell, but when you go to put on your clothes and they don’t even come close to fitting, that is a definite indicator you have gained some weight. I have since then lost about 15 pounds. but I would love to get about another 10 off, or at least get in shape. I can’t walk up my stairs without having an asthma attack.

  55. Illtron Says:

    You know I’m in. I just figured I’d say it again.

  56. Bren Says:

    I’ll join, I’m already down 10-15 pounds!!!

  57. Frannie Lopez Says:

    Well, I’ve already got the weightloss journal setup….now I just gotta join you all in this so that I can stay pretty accountable to SOMEONE. :) I got the pass to the gym as well…I’m ready to go! hehe.

  70. Meg Says:

    Just started a low-carb diet on Monday. Pretty much like Atkins for the induction, and I’ll probably stay on that for a while to get my blood sugar under control. With DM Type II running in our family I figured it’s best to get it in check now.

    Ideally I’d like to lost about 70 pounds, but I’d be happy with 40, which will put me back in a size 8 and get me to my pre-wedding shape ;).

    “Group loosing contest” is a very good way overweight people help each other in order to loose wait.

  82. Jeff Pulice Says:

    YEah, I’m in. As a climber who now weighs over 300 lbs., something has to be done and I have to be the one to do it.
    How?
    I’m going to start planning my meals for three days in advance AND I’M GOING TO PHOTOGRAPH EVERYTHING I EAT, WHICH I WILL POST ON A XANGA BLOG SITE. It’s nice over there. I’m going to try the same thing with exercise sessions, showing me getting to the gym, etc.
    An actual eating plan?
    Chicken. Chicken, chicken and chicken, with turkey when I get bored. I’ll be pretty liberal with sauces and marinades (liberal in choices, not amounts-I’m not just gonna cook a pound of buitter and call it a sauce…). Basically, it’s a simplified Atkins plan. In restaurants, I’ll stick to salads.
    Big problems will be going out for Thai after climbing or on weekends; I’ll have to plan ahead, no side dishes.
    My goal? My ultimate goal? 240. Wow. 240; less than I weighed in college.
    My goals this week:
    a. eliminate bread, crackers and chips

  83. Linda Says:

    I’m in! This is the inspiration I need to get back to my goal weight. I also want to clean up my eating habits and make better food choices. I don’t have much to lose, but my goal includes maintaining my new weight for good. Thanks Colin (and everyone else participating). I’m cheering you on.

  84. Erik Kastner Says:

  96. Patricia Says:

    I’d love to be listed! I started keeping track back in February and it’s helped a lot. I’m not all that comfortable releasing my current weight but I have been posting the bi-weekly results from my weigh-ins with the doctor.

  100. Charlie Says:

    Shortly after Christmas my doctor prescribed Mirtazapine, an antidepresant. At the time my weight was somewhere between 9 - 9.5 stone (130ish pounds) - I was underweight for my height (5′11). Like many other people, Mirtazapine caused my metabolism to slow and I gained 2stone (20% of my original weight). The drugs did work and I feel much better, but now want to have a healthy lifestyle and fight my depression and anxiety naturally.

    Last Wednesday (1st June 2006) I embarked on my new health plan. I no longer smoke or take Mirtazapine, I eat at least 5 portions of fruit/Veg a day, do some form of daily exercise (usually tennis or cycling - but on Saturday I went punting!), drink 2litres of water a day (and no fizzy pop), and take daily vitamins. I also record my success on a chart each day which includes the amount of studying I have done and the amount of sleep I get.

    My goal is to weigh 9.5 stone (133pounds).

    I stumbled across The Diet while on flickr and it sounds like a good source of motivation. I do have a mostly dormant blog where I can post updates, but I might wind up posting updates on flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/wallyhartshorn/. Maybe I’ll create a set and post weekly photos of myself on weigh-in day. We’ll see.

    I’m 6′1″ and in the neighborhood of 265. I’d like to be down below 190. We’ll see.
