I have a friend who weighs 355 lbs @ 5'8". His friend challenged him to ride 100 miles in 24 hours

Are his friends doing this to help him or are they trying to win a bet?

Dr MoBYU

4/23/23 4:39pm

Their motivation is for him to complete it.

Chasicle

4/23/23 4:43pm

Lemme know if they’d like to make the same bet with me…

TBH, sounds like great friends. He's lucky.

That weight loss drug will make the weight continue to melt off

Soren Tversky

4/23/23 4:39pm

If the weight loss drug is ozempic study’s show it gets rid of the good fat.

Grock

What? That doesn’t make sense

kotacoug

4/23/23 4:48pm

Maybe it makes the bosoms shrink?

Most people lose significant muscle mass on these drugs.

Ok I wasn’t sure what they he/she was trying to say. Most weight loss in

Maybe not you, but if you were 355 pounds at 5’8” you go ahead and take it. Worry about muscle mass when you’ve escaped

mvtoro

4/23/23 6:08pm

Exactly. It’s a tool to an overall goal. Average human should not take them.

Boring

4/23/23 6:26pm

Yeah, you know? All the muscle you have that’s actually fat? Ozempic = gone.

The way he describes it, it sounds almost too good to be true. He said his

Chasicle

Probably the same drug all the women are taking now- Semaglutide.

byubyu

4/23/23 4:51pm

He better not eat any bread or the bet is lost

chismoso

4/23/23 4:44pm

Good luck to him, and please keep us updated.

He’s got some awesome friends!

How do you know that’s what he is on? You know him? Just curious

can you hook me up with you rich friends? I'd like to broker a similar monetary

good luck to your friend. He could win big in so many ways. I'm glad he's

qwerew

4/23/23 4:49pm

Yeah, that was my big concern. I was at his house with friends when he told us

Chasicle

4/23/23 4:52pm

I’d hope you at least get a new bike!

DiamondMo

4/23/23 5:55pm

I’m willing to gain 200 lbs and then take that bet.

Samsonite

4/23/23 4:51pm

Not worth it.

A Drew Aitch

4/23/23 4:51pm

Any chance of him doing a social media thing for those who want to follow?

ChiCityCoug

4/23/23 4:52pm

I'll bring it up with him. I thought of documenting it and doing something after

Chasicle

4/23/23 4:54pm

YT would be awesome!

ChiCityCoug

that would be fun to follow.

I weigh 340 and am 5-7.5. Can his friends throw me in as a package deal?

JodyGenessy

4/23/23 5:03pm

Join us for the ride in October! I'll give you a hug when you finish. 🙂

Chasicle

4/23/23 5:08pm

Once upon a time, I went from weighing 371 to doing a full Ironman.

JodyGenessy

4/23/23 6:10pm

Do it again! Ironmans are life changing.

Chasicle

4/24/23 2:00am

Now I'm feeling extra inspired. I need to get more active. Seriously, thank you.

TailgateU

4/24/23 2:18pm

Too easy. Should have bet him to get under 200 lbs and stay under for a year.

Chester Copperpot

4/23/23 5:06pm

You're forgetting that there's always the next bet. lol. I'm already hoping

Chasicle

4/23/23 5:09pm

Sounds like your friends or his friends have too much money. Even if I had $50M

Chester Copperpot

4/23/23 5:29pm

So what’s a better use? I guess you could feed a about 420 of starving people

DiamondMo

Worth it to literally save the life of someone you love. In a weight loss competition right now that we set up mostly

Correct. Relatively new.

Peptides, Tirzepatide and Semaglutide

And they are safe?

ColonelMustard

His butt will give out before his legs.

RC Vikings

4/23/23 5:14pm

That's his #1 issue right now. I've told him 50 times it'll get better after

Chasicle

4/23/23 5:18pm

I would have him do some squats and deadlifts too

Swish

4/23/23 5:35pm

Guy I know lost 200 lbs in just one year. He was over 400 lbs and is now running half marathons all the time.

CSoul

4/23/23 5:32pm

Would your friend be willing to bet me the same to reach 355 lbs?

Go to peak of mountain range outside Yellowstone and coast down. Easy money

I’d dump the cycling coach, leverage your insights and do this for $350

4/23/23 8:07pm

Seems like a good plan. And he’ll certainly be able to afford it. 😃

m0resn0w

4/23/23 8:09pm

If he ends up riding in Zwift, I'd love to do a group ride or training session with him.

IAmSpartyCoug

4/23/23 8:43pm

Problem is…none of us could keep your pace. I see what you do on Zwift. 😂

m0resn0w

4/23/23 8:48pm

Zwift is updating the "keep everyone together" setting this summer, so you can set up a group ride with different levels

IAmSpartyCoug

4/23/23 9:14pm

Zwift/KICKR for now. We’ll move outside later.

Chasicle

4/24/23 12:36am

When he's ready for an hour workout, and if he's willing, let's put together a CB Zwift group ride/workout.

IAmSpartyCoug

4/24/23 10:42am

That would be fun. I have no idea how to set it up, but the cycling coach is an expert on Zwift. I'll chat w/ him

Chasicle

4/25/23 2:27pm

I'd be happy to go figure it out too

IAmSpartyCoug

4/25/23 3:31pm

Get an electric bike, the most expensive one since he'll win.

4/23/23 8:05pm

Not allowed. Standard bike. Road or tri or mountain bike. Doesn’t matter.

Very invested in this story I think biweekly reports would be awesome!
