Biggest Loser Contest (BLC) 2: Sub-Rico

I was all set in winning BLC Season 2 (Jan 3-Mar 30), but this guy...

 

BLC 2 Champ Doc Topher

 ....wrestled the title from me.

Topher wowed us all with a 12.11% weight loss (23 lbs), 

but he had a slight gain in body fat percentage (muscles loss? pero muscular pa rin?)

For the whole season I kinda know Topher is my toughest competition, 

but on finals night I got blind-sided by this guy....

Jet

who shocked us all with a massive body fat loss! (8.3 percentage points!)

Ika nga ni Jet, "Mahalaga ang role ng first runner-up..."

I grudgingly settled for third place, proud still of my weight loss (6.8 lbs)

and prouder of the significant body fat percentage drop (4.5 percentage points).

Ang ultra buddies na sina Topher at Jet ay nakalamang kay Rico 

ng Php500 each sa pagpanalo sa Sub-Rico Challenge.

Nag-Sub-Rico rin naman ako. Tinalo ko ang dati kong weight nung BLC 1 finals

at tinalo ko rin sila hehe...

Jan, 4th place 

with 4.10% weight loss and 0.8 fat percent drop

 Carlo, 5th place

5.24% weight loss, half percent fat gain

at sila pa...

Sid, Ronald and Natz

and Izie (in purple) and Tracy (in orange)

Mga 3 lbs na lang at baka bumalik na ako doon sa end-2008 weight ko

Actually simula na ang BLC Season 3 for me,

pero ako lang contender dahil sa tindi ng half-ironman training ko,

wala na akong panahon mag-organize.

Wala nang cash incentive, pero you can still try to beat me - vicariously.

Sub-Rico!

I am still losing weight and hovering around 177lbs. 

I hope to bring my Subic Triathlon weight below 175lbs. I have two weeks.

For Camsur in August, I hope to get back to my college weight of 150 lbs. Sana, sana.

BLC 3 for me still August. 

Maybe by then I will peak at 7% body fat like Jake Cuenca during his Bench campaign.

Jake says he is now back to 11% body fat.

Maybe for BLC 4 I can do sub-Jake.
