The Iron and Stone Challenge 2015
-
Practically there. Down 13.9 lbs. Crazy stress filled week didn't hurt, but probably not the healthiest way to lose weight.
-
Over 5lbs to go for me, I don't think I can catch you now Mike.
-
Bam. I don't know if being highly stressed is the best way to drop a stone, but I'm down a little more than 16 as of today.
-
WINNER ! Well one Mike.
I believe that me and my fellow losers each owe you $20 for an IH purchase as part of the original deal.

Please PM @summ3rhays and make the necessary arrangements.
-
Fair enough. I'm up 3.4 pounds, as of today. This did not work out the way I intended…
-
congratulations mike aka sporty spice, posted you my left pink as promised!
(sorry i couldn't contribute due to lack of internet at the start of this!) -
Congrats man.
-
Thanks guys!
-
Congrats! I lost about 8 lbs at one point and eventually put almost half of that back on. PM inbound.

You said you'd been ill @Snowy, but I didn't realise it was that serious! Hope you're on the mend now, but that doesn't sound like a clever way of losing weight.
Well done @summ3rhays! The trick now is to keep it off.

@Seul you'd love that everything here is called Veg and Non-Veg. About the best thing over here is Veg is norm. Mind you, drinking is extremely abnormal and crazy expensive, so actually you'd hate it here.
I'm out now guys, but still crazy weak and gathering up energy. Today is my weekend in the city, went for a few blocks walk and came back to the hotel, that was enough activity for me. No marathons hiking for me anything soon. Feeling SO much better than I was last weekend, I spent 5 days in bed/shitter, then 3 in hospital so really, it's all on the up/up.
-
Glad to hear you're on the mend Snowman, how was Indian hospital care?
-
@twin, I was eating in an area someone from my company had documented was okay to eat in, that's the most annoying thing about it. Turns out he'd made up the recommendation and it was not recommended at all in general.
@Megatron1505, it was very interesting. I went to a very high quality hospital here (believe there's 4 tiers of hospitals, I was in the top). My room selected was also the top, so top care/coverage. Medical facilities about 20-40 years behind Australia, rooms themselves sketchy as. Bacteria/microbe control non-existent. Staffing, lots of nurses. No real rounds done, but there within a minute of a call 24/7. I had 1 of the nurses try find out which hotel/room I was in when she heard I was leaving and she never came back to see me after I told her no thanks to having her in my hotel room.
All in all creepy as fuck experience, couldn't wait to get out of there. Cost about $1000 for the 3 days, all drugs/tests included. This was pre-paid upon entry to ensure valid credit.
-
Man @Snowy , that sounds rough. Glad you are recovering. Food poisoning is practically the worst thing ever. Get well soon.
though i don't think i've lost that much *feck
