The Great Gangplank Fat-Off

The Great Gangplank Fat-Off

On August 12th, 2009, eighteen brave (and chubby) individuals gathered at Gangplank in Chandler, Arizona to begin an epic weight-loss challenge.

They each put in $100, and after eight weeks, the winner takes all.

This is their story.

Losing or Gaining?

Theoretically we’re all here to lose weight during the Fatoff.  Realistically though we’re doing more than just losing

  • We’re losing weight but we are gaining muscle (hopefully)
  • We’re losing weight but we are gaining a better understanding of how to eat right
  • We’re losing some of our free time at the gym but we’re gaining some great friends and motivators
  • We’re losing inches off our waists and gaining confidence in ourselves
  • We’re losing clothes that hang off of us and gaining new clothes that look good
  • We’re losing our fears about working out and eating right
  • We’re losing our motivation to sit on the couch and do nothing
  • We’re gaining a ton of energy to do more with our new healthier selves.

So you decide? Is this about losing or gaining for you?
