Behind the Fatboy
A few years ago, at my last job, we ran a Fatboy Challenge. The idea was simple, loose weight, win cash.
The Challenge took part amongst the IT department of a large company in Sheffield, UK, where most people sit on their backsides all day and get very little excersise. You could use any method you wanted to loose weight, although Anorexia and lipo-suction were frowned upon. It was a pretty good success, with only one guy actually gaining weight over the period of the Challenge, and most people lost weight.
A lot of the guys that took part in that challenge also work with me at my new company, and seeing as the last challenge didn't transform us into a group of Adonis' (Adonii?) we thought it might be a good idea to have another go.
We have 11 contestants, Stu (me), Andy, Neg, Ado, Adam, New Adam, Pete, Simon, Tony, Karen (not strictly a "boy" I know, but the Fatboy Challenge is not sexist), Tim
The initial weigh in is Tomorrow, Friday 5th August and the challenge runs for 2 months ....

End of Day one and Start of Day two
So am giving up the drink probably until christmas, Laugh if you want but I can say no to a drink quite easily. Though I will be meeting up with some friends in dublin at the end of the month so I might have a relapse for a weekend ;-)
Joined Ponds Forge today £27.99 a month with a minimum of 3 months contract and am heading down for 5:30 for my induction. The membership allows me free access to all facilities aparently. Well for 30 quid I would hope so.
And I got my secret weapon today ;-) *sussh* its a secret.
