Grob Challenge Revisited

Anyone interested in a Grob Challenge? The idea is simple: Reach your chosen weight loss goal or play nothing but the Grob opening (1. g4) for a predefined time period. Die Hards are free to play Grob (or Borg) as black for extra punishment.

My own Goal is to loose X (soon to be defined) kilos before Mid March next year and play Grob for the rest of the year should I fail.

Are you up for the challenge?

    By June 21 this year, I will be back down to the weight I was last August. And then, I will lose another ten pounds by August (putting me at a weight last seen in the summer of 1991 when I was doing roofing work during summer break from grad school).

    My weight loss program: good food in small quantities, paired well with good wine. Low salt, reduced carbs. Five to ten hours of walking per week, plus Wii bowling, golf, boxing, etc.

    Sounds like a very doable regime and most likely a regime that will keep the lbs's off! I have had an excellent grob challenge before but all the fat has bounced right back where it came from.

      I walk less in the winter, and eat more. Such behaviors are making things harder as I age. Last summer, it was not until mid-July that I lost the ten I accumulated over the winter. This winter, I maintained summer weight through December--one month longer than the previous winter.

    I lost 20 kilo since januari first. I assume that that dismisses me from playing the Grob.
