...............Registrations will close on Friday the 16th of May 2014

*No Dangly bits to be shown in the photo
*Digital scales are mandatory.
*Set your scales to Metric.



3. Post your photo prior (26th of may 2014) in a New thread I will start called (FOH FAT BASTARD 2014 STARTING WEIGHTS)


4. You provide an update on a new thread on the first week of every month. First will be FOH July Weigh in. No photo required.

5. On the weekend of the 14th of December you take another photo of your feet on the scales with your finishing weight (FAT BASTARD CSI team will match closing feet to opening feet )

*Largest weight loss as a % of starting weight wins a box of cigars to be chosen by myself.

I tried to search for what happened last year but couldn't seem to find it.

What was the winning entry and how many of the starters came back to report?

[moidoid]

I think I would like in. This should be fun.

[Philprop]

On the list already but I will confirm I am in. Also, anyone else feel that the toes in the above pic seem way out of proportion with e feet? They're so tiny!

[Stogiedude3]

Im in. I need to figure out how to get my pictures to load to this site. Seems they are always to big?

[sw15825]

Im in. Right about 125 Kilos today.

[daabido]

I'm in too. I'd still like to know what the results for last year were.

[backslide]

I can't wait.... I even purchased a fitbit, to help me along the journey, I'm also thinking about getting the fitbit scale.

I'm in! Looks interesting and add more excuses to load up more weight for the weight-in hahaha

[Philprop]

I don't think loading up on the weight before the start of this comp is a good idea. The winner is decided by percentage of weight lost, not how many pounds/kilos.

In this case being a lower weight helps your chances of winning as you would have to lose less weight. Let's say for arguments sake that I am 250 pounds. For me to lose 5% I would have to lose 12.5 pounds where someone who is 200 pounds would only have to lose 10 pounds. So the more you load up before the comp the more you have to lose. So I'm going to start losing now.

[matgerado]

It was a joke phil...

Of course it's not a good idea for various reasons.

Two sides of a coin though. The more weight you have, the higher "potential" for total weight loss. Lets take an example of a 175cm man.
If original weight is 110kg reaching the ideal bodyweight of 76kg is approximately 30% loss.

If original weight is 125kg reaching the idea bodyweight of 76kg is approximately 40% loss.

BUT if you are the 125kg and able to lose that much in the time frame set, you damn well deserve winning that box of cigars!

And yes i'm going to start losing weight now as well!
