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 ....

First day has arrived, and instead of starting it like I want to continue I started it completely opposite, No healthy breakfast and my usual 2 bacon and cheese turnovers at 10am, Which I savoured due to the fact that I won't be allowing my self to enjoy them anymore, My last pasty wagon visit *sob* *sob*, of course then it was off for lunch and I kidded my self that I was eating healthly, well more healthy than this time last year.

So whats my plan? simple will look at joining a Gym tomorrow. I will have to look at getting rabbit food in, I wonder how much alcohol puts on weight and fat?? mmm off to research in the pub tonight I think.

Just stumbled across this site. I'll keep it bookmarked. Good luck everyone. I'm on a big diet push as well at the moment and have a lot to lose, so at least I can challenge myself to beat you all!
