UKPF biggest loser

[Ray Stafford]

Ok, so I have put on a pound or two, after giving up smoking. Well, maybe a couple of stone.

I am now considering a major weightloss challenge, if other members are up for a bit of competition.

Who fancies a bit of a bet? Real money stakes, and real life policing of the rules, live on UKPF.

All profits and losses to charity.

Interested? Reply or PM me.

Yeah, I'm game.

Not sure what I weigh now but it's probably around 15 stone. Want to get down to 11 or 12.

I'm 5'7" 13 and a half stone, so need to do something as the doc told me cholesterol was 7.3 last week, which is way way too high, all monies to children's charities

OK, it looks like we have enough interest to have a contest.

Here's my suggestion for the rules.

Firstly, decide whether you want to play the PRO version ,which may cost you money, or the LITE version which only costs you pride and the last pitiful remnants of what used to be your self esteem.

All weights must be taken in a constant environment - ie on the same scales, at the same time of day and in approximately the same clothing state.

Your starting weight and target weight must be declared between now and midnight on 31st May 2014. Please don't overstate your starting weight - thats cheating and not in the spirit.

Closing weight is 3 months away - on 31st August 2014

The winner is the PRO player who both makes their target weight AND loses the highest percentage of their original weight. If they don't make their target weight, then they can't win. The winners prize is to nominate their favourite charity.

Every losing PRO player who made their target weight donates £25 to a charity nominated by the winner. Every losing PRO player who fails to make their target weight donates £50 to the nominated charity. We can do this with a just-giving page, so there will be full transparency if anyone welshes.

Its up to you if you want to post updates.

We work on an honour system, but anyone doesn't believe the winner's claimed weight, they may challenge it, and an independent member of the forum living nearby can go and verify it. A failed challenge costs another £25 in the pot, but a successful challenge eliminates the winner, and they have to then pay double what they would have paid (either £50 or £100) to the charity named by the new winner.

Any dispute is ruled on by whichever of the mods are not participating.

How does that sound?

How does that sound?

Maybe start and end photo?

 

[Ray Stafford]

Maybe start and end photo?

No reason why not

 

[Kyle87]

I'm not playing. It's way easier for all the fatties to drop massive amounts of weight!!!

I'd be a loser and not the way intended

 

[Ermintrude]

According to NICE, national institute for clinical excellence more than 4% loss isn't any good for you

What are you avoiding doing at the moment!

 

[SimonG]

I'm in for the PRO. I have an added incentive as my weight is gradually increasing due to the quacks putting me back on the steroids. But with the amount of garbage i eat i can see massive room for improvement just on the diet side. Im about seventeen and a half stone at the minute and want a real challange. So i would be over the moon to get below sixteen stone.

Only just discovered, so I've two weeks to drop it or I'm on tablets, doc has made the implications of not dropping it very clear
