ferguson911 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Just woke up after last nights fight... weighed in at 251, 20 pounds lower than my last fight. Main event of the evening, I WON finally, with a unanimous decision from the judges,my opponent got 3 standing 8 counts in his fight from my relentless agression. What a great feeling 2 Quote Adventurer STR: 3| DEX: 2 | CON: 3 | STA: 3| WIS:2| CHA:2 Link to comment

ferguson911 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 This weekend, I brought my bike for a spin.....3 days, 25km average each day, heck I did more biking in those 3 days than in the last 7 years of my life o_O Thighs are hurting, but it's worth it! Steadying at 251 these days, all is going well! Here is another pic of my victory On the first one I look like a warrior, on this one I have to admit i was relieved ( my coaches faces on the right are hilarious Training all summer for my next fight in september ( most probably) 1 Quote Adventurer STR: 3| DEX: 2 | CON: 3 | STA: 3| WIS:2| CHA:2 Link to comment

ferguson911 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Little update! Today I am maintaining around 245, which means close to 175 pounds lost overall. 7 years ago (when I was 16) I competed in the Scott Firefit Championships, with a time of 3 min 04 ( ) video shows the course (50 pounds of equipment, breathing through an airmask is like breathing through a big straw, the suits are hot in the summer sun, hose pack to go up 45 pounds, 5 story high tower, 45 pound hose roll on the end of a rope, striking with an 8 pound sledgehammer on a resistant hydraulic beam, running cones, pulling a fully loaded fire hose which offers near 300 pounds of resistance at the end, knocking down a target, and dragging a 175 rescue dummy 50 ft.) Here is the official competition info....go read it, it's much better than my explanation ! https://www.firefit.com/NeedtoKnow/FireFit-Individual Well today I did the competition again, and made a time of 2min24 seconds !!! Chopped off a total of 40 seconds on my time, I can clearly see that all the effort I put in has finally paid off Bonus pics !

MegaCarp Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Just read your article man, and really thought it was cool. Just was really overwhelmed by how transparent you were in your interview. I'm trying to lose about 60 lbs myself, and I just really liked how you didn't try to cheat the system by looking for quick outs and such. Just really inspirational man! Quote Link to comment
