French Connection Silver Fox's desperate weight reduction tips.

You've had a bad week - a couple of rubies and fried breakfasts plus an evening or two on the beer with friends. The weekly weigh-in is looming very close now and you are getting desperate to lose some weight, anything, so as not to be this week's bad boy. Here are some tips which may help just before the weigh-in. I've put them in ascending order of desperation, as you search to take off those last few ounces.

•   You weigh less in the morning than in the evening.
•   Don't eat or drink anything a few hours (as many as possible) before your weigh-in.
•   Do some sport/exercise just before the weigh-in. Sex is a good option and has added side benefits.
•   Take a dump or a leak, preferably both.
•   Have a sauna. This could be good for a few pounds.
•   Have a haircut.
•   Shave.   (starting to get desperate now).
•   Cut your finger nails and toe nails.
•   Any chance of squeezing out another quick leak? Gone on, force it a bit.
•   Pick your nose (getting really desperate now).
•   Shave your legs but don't go too far up your thighs unless you're totally desperate (or are RidgeRider).
•   Spit.
•   Taking a strong laxative could help but I wouldn't advise it.
•   Putting your fingers down your throat to throw up reeks of anorexia (amongst other things).
•   I wouldn't advise amputation despite its obvious efficiency.
•   Pray ?  Walking to your local church to light a candle comes under the heading of exercise (see above).
•   Resting your big belly on the window sill while standing on the scales counts as "doing a Trevor Brooking" and is neither permitted nor a FoF thing to do. Forget it.

Do feel free to chip in (no dietary pun intended) with other suggestions.


Jesus Cristmas... this sounds like you are trying to make weight for a wrestling meet...
Much more important it earns you FOF bragging rights.

Slim Like Gentleman Jim 2011 Championship - Week 3 Results

Admin - Sorry for being a tad late posting results but there were some last minute warriors and I had to deal with some work shite that I could have been without, but here is the results

Commentary - As we get deeper into this thing, people will lose less. It is easier to shed liquids and fat upfront so don't despair if your scale is talking greek to you at the moment. It is normal. Just keep going. Onwards and forwards. Next week is hump week and you are halfway there.

This week we have both good and bad news. The good news is that the Rambler dropped a solid 4 pounds for the week and AlFayedsChequebook and Airfix continuous their good run only a pound behind with a 3 lb drop.  

On the other end of the spectrum our Welsh wizard os5889 managed to put ON 5 pounds... Now besides being a Slim Like Jim all time weekly record, he blames it on the gym... Now he is right in that muscle weighs more than fat, but unless he is on the Fatima Whitbread steroid diet there is likely more to that story. Anyway the Naughty Boy/Must Try Harder award is clearly his and it also makes him the sole person who has "tried" to diet and 3 weeks into the program is 2 pounds heavier than at kick off...Very Shefki Kuqi/Frank Lampard'ish.  

Overall in the league tables it is getting interesting. EpsomRaver and Airfix are tied at the top on the overall with 10 pounds loss and AlFayedChequebook just a slim single pound behind. In the pound for pound category EpsomRaver still has the lead ahead  Airfix and AlFayed but it is very tight now, and others are not far behind to make a push the honours.  

As a group we have now lost a total of 99 pounds or 3.81 pounds per person which is a good number and up a pound from last week. Now if we can only get Owen to stop taking steroids that number should grow even higher...

And should I have made any mistakes plase PM me. I am pretty sure it all works.

Good luck and keep it all up.

Yippee!  Still up there... despite having been on a diet for 6 weeks before this project began.  I have now lost a total of three stone and I still have another 1½ to go so I am keeping up the pressure.  I won't eat that pancake until I get to 14st!

Thanks for all your hard work on collating the results finnster01.

FAT WEIGHS THE SAME AS MUSCLE! it is an urban myth otherwise.  I thought the same as you Finn and got shot down in flames, if you replaced the same mass of fat with muscle you
would weigh the same

Is that why being called a "muscle-head" or a "fat-head" are equally offensive?

I think that is a question for Konchesky. I still have a couple of strands left. Makes the trip to the barber a very short exercise though.

Slim Like Gentleman Jim 2011 Championship - Week 4 Results

Admin - Hold your horses Mr Airfix, late warriors and the closing of the transfer window caused me a brief delay. Sorry about that. Starting next week I will not be so patient

Commentary - Hump week came and went and as I predicted the going has become tougher. The good news is that from here on it is only 4 weeks left. You are now officially past half way  :yay:

This week our Welsh Wizard os5889 bounced back from a disastrous performance and lost an impressive 4 points together with Airfix and AlFayedsChequebook. Airfix continuous to defy gravity and must now surely buy a new wardrobe. There were a lot of people who stood still on the same spot.

The bad news was that 3 participants put on weight. FatFreddy put on 1 lb, Fletchino 2 lbs but The Naughty Boy/Must Try Harder award goes to Logicalman who went for the hattrick and scored an extra 3 lbs. That also put him 1 pound over initial weight since the "slimming" started. Somebody hide the pies please... On the other end, Airfix became the first to hit the Stone barrier. Well done!  :clap_hands: This is in particular impressive given the fact he started slimming in November. 

Overall in the league tables it is tight. Airfix now holds the top spot alone with 14 lbs, one pound ahead of AlFayedsChecquebook and EpsomRaver in third with 10lbs. In the relegation battle we have Nick The Swede, Fletchino and the West Ham of Slim Jim Logicalman all within 2 pounds so a good week and lift them over the drop zone.

In the pound for pound category Alfayed has now taken the lead at 6.31% just a short nose (or hernia) ahead of Airfix and with EpsomRaver third.   

As a group we have now lost a total of 119 pounds or 4.58 pounds per person.

And should I have made any mistakes plase PM me. I am pretty sure it all works.

Good luck and keep it all up.

I put on a pair of trousers the other day and my missus accused me of looking "emaciated".  Never heard that said about me before.

By crikey, I miss pancakes, though!

Thanks for this impressive analysis. I stay put... not an pound lost. Then again, I am hardly eating and drinking massive quantities of water... Guess I should try sports now. Sigh.

I should also mention that Mr Freddy gets a special award this week for going out of his way to get his weight in this week. He has had a computer breakdown and ended up phoning his weight to Mr LBNo11 who then pursued to PM me the result.

Top effort!!!  :clap_hands:

I think that device is more prudent for Logicalman at the moment. The only reason StaffsWhite actually shows up is I had to enter a default value in my spreadsheet in order to not screw up too many things, since he never got back with any weight updates but he is still listed in the original weigh-in numbers (red) but said he would participate. He/she is not in the competition anymore.

i.e. You won't find his name in the league tables. Which will happen to others if I don't get PM's 2 weeks in a row.

Don't forget to report your weight number on Friday.

Slim Like Gentleman Jim 2011 Championship - Week 5 Results

Admin - Nothing new to report on the admin side other than again there are some late lurkers that needs to get the numbers in or I will just cut over and use last weeks results. Two weeks in a row without reporting numbers will result in a Howard Webb and a  :red:

Commentary - Only 3 more weigh-ins left. There is light at the end of the tunnel. A little more discipline and March will be a month with quite an extra spring in some's steps :yay:

Unfortunately this week our Welsh Wizard os5889 again stole the headlines by posting a gain of 4 lbs resulting in the purchase of a new set of scales due to "scale smashage" he tells me. he is now 2 pounds heavier than when we started... Airfix continues on his hummingbird diet and took the weekly honors by shedding another 3 pounds together with WhiteNoise.  There were again a lot of people who stood still on the same spot and a good few put on a pound which isn't that unusual at this stage. A little focus this week, and it will be gone again and then some.

Overall in the league tables it has opened up a bit. The "Big 3 but getting smaller" are moving ahead. Airfix holds the top spot with an impressive 17 lbs, ahead of AlFayedsChecquebook at 13 and EpsomRaver in third with 10lbs. In the relegation battle we saw FatFreddy join a big group at 1 pound total loss with only Fletchini (0) and os5889 (-2) behind them. os5889 is having a Derby type of season and looks set to break the record.

In the pound for pound category Airfix is also in the lead ahead of Airfix and with EpsomRaver third but Blingo is beginning to sniff a medal and is closing in.  

As a group we have now lost a total of 128 pounds or 4.92 pounds per person
And should I have made any mistakes plase PM me. I am pretty sure it all works.

Good luck and keep it all up.
