First topic message reminder :

Less than a week till Some of us get to hear 2w's voice for real, not to mention seeing him on the box. Embarassed

I'm sure that all members hear who have conversed wih 2W on this forum will be watching. Kinda knowing someone, even if it is only via the net makes it seem more personal. On ya mate !

Mark is cracking about 44kg at the moment. Still about 5 heavier than me. He's desperate to overtake me before finale Twisted Evil

Watched the half marathon relay last night. Very impressed with Marks drive and enthusiasm. Well done. 2W. Evil or Very Mad Not so good. But its easy for us to be armchair critics. The big big big fella certainly showed some grit. Look forward to seeing the transformations.

You could have saved alot of time and stress by just followng this exercise regime... lol

A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.

The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."

Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.
...
He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program. The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me". Well, he's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program

"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."

"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."

The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, your ass is mine."

He lost 63 pounds that week.

Ok so the last few eps could be titled The Kev Show but tonight Mark and I should get a look in.

A wrist is broken while training with the Sydney Kings resulting in a couple of day's in hospital.
Mark is involved in the incident.

So if if anyone fooks with me I'll get my son onto them Laughing

True mate but by my unofficial calculations we have missed out by a couple of % or an extra hr in the gym per week Sad

You and Mark are the winners in our eyes Mate. This is a great thing that you two have done, and I can honostly say that you have inspired me to make the effort to shed some unwanted kilos. Thanks 2W.

Thanks Paul. Thats great for you. I can email an outline of our (commando's) meal plan if you're interested. The other trainers had theirs but I dont have them.

Tonights show was a shocker. I was watching with Kev and his mum and red team and Katie from orange and the editing was really one sided. Poor form in my book. But we all still hate Rich & Amber Laughing

We're shooting the final tonight.
My journey/adventure with my son is almost over.
We have a far better understanding and respect for each other because of the things we faced and faced up to together.

My advice to everyone is to have have faith in your own abilities, tried and untested because we are capable of a lot more than we realise.
If it's getting too hard accept the help, love & support from those who around you.

I thank my SBA brothers and sisters for their encouragement and support. We wont win any cash tonight but that was never my motivation. I have won a lot more than that Wink

Well done mate, Im glad its all been worthwhile. You've had a fantastic bonding session with your Son which has no doubt brought you closer. Theres a lot of fathers out there that would love to have that opportunity Im sure. You've gained some inner strength and motivation. And you've lost a few Kilos along the way. You can't ask for much more than that. Well done and congratulations to you both, Cheers Jim.

Well done Chris and your son Mark. My wife and I have watched most of the episodes so far. I am surprised neither of you lost it at certain other contestants. I wouldn't have been able to do the abseil as I am shit scared of heights, my wife would have loved it. She has dropped her weight from 60 to 53 doing Les mills and Michelle Bridges cook book. Just ate kangaroo steaks which weren't too bad.

At the end of the day you and Mark have done each other proud. It goes to show its never to late to reconnect. What's next a bike tour around Australia? Smile

Great work
Ryan and the Peters clan.

Thanks all. Its 2am and we have just "wrapped" about an hr ago.
As predicted we didn't win any cash. We finished mid pack. Right where we have been all summer.
We lost a total of 96kg between us. Im proud of Mark and he's proud of me. I'm still about 10kg off my personal goal but its getting closer Smile

Im glad people get something out of watching the show. I'm just a dad like most here (or mum) and we can still inspire our kids if we try.

Keep watching and thanks again.
Go Black Team!

Excellent effort, and great outcome. Good words re inspiring our kids. I've found the reverse is true also. I'm often inspired by my 3 kids (age 25,22 &12 - last one was a surprise)...we reap what we sow I guess. Gutsy effort from you both. Respect from the North! Very Happy
