Here at 2 Fat Nerds each Wednesday is a Weigh-In day, where all of the data from the previous week is collected, displayed, and analyzed. Let’s dive into the numbers!
September-October Challenge
Please leave a comment with your baseline measurements! If you want them to be kept private for any reason, leave a comment and i'll make arrangements!
- Total Pushup Count until fatigue
- Total Chin-Up Count until fatigue (if assisted mark what pound assisted with)
- Total Plank Time in seconds
- Total Squats within a one minute window.
Weight Loss
Each week, members who have opted to have their weights publicly displayed for the world to see have them graphed on the main blog. It is a great way to keep track over time, and it gives a bit more accountability to your workouts. If you are interested, leave a comment!
Congrats to Laura who has posted a loss several weeks in a row!
Anti-Fat Points
Anti-fat points (AFP) is a system designed to give some sort of value to each and every workout, regardless of type. It is based on metabolic-equivalent values out of the compendium of physical activities. Submit a workout, get AFP. Each week we post the totals for each person for the week. In addition, you may see the monthly AFP leaderboard on the right-hand sidebar. This is meant to be a fun way to encourage competition to see who can earn the most points!
The threshold is back to 100 AFP, Green is over and Red is under. Try to get 100 AFP and turn your bar green!
The Chain-Game
The Chain Game is a fun little system we came up with to see how many consecutive weeks a person can complete a minimum of three days of workouts. Every week in a row that a person completes the three-day goal, he or she adds one link to his or her active chain. For more information see this post!
As always, if you were slow to get data in, your chain will be re-instated!

No wonder he’s afraid of my bootcamp.

Oh, darn. I’ll need my chain reinstated!
Not a problemo! I almost did it manually, but figured you would add it in anyway 🙂

Squats: 38

Whew!
Should have mentioned my push-ups were modified (knees dropped).
Plank- 19 sec (4 children, no abs left), squats – 24 (crappy form, no knees left either ), push ups 30 (lady style – you’d think I’d have biceps from carrying kids and laundry baskets, but no muscles there either). this is embarrassing, but I guess I have nowhere to go but up!
Plank: 1m10s
Squats: 27
Push-ups: 25
Plank: 2 min 40 seconds
Squats: 50
Push Ups: 23 (real ones)
