Been having a think about this and I'd do it but anyone who knows me knows that dieting is not my strong point.
I'd often celebrate an Alty win with a kebab or even a draw might get some chips...or a defeat might need a kebab as well. I can't have a sandwich without crisps and gyms are just direct debits to me.
However..if I could get enough sponsorship from the lads and lasses on the forum I'd do it.
I want to get £500...can it be done?
Distant fans could use Paypal, we'd have cash or cheques and I'd give you a weekly update...and you just need to pledge now and pay February?
What do you reckon...its £500 or bust and I'll lose 10lbs at least...ideally at least a stone? Believe me that won't be easy but I'd try my best so not to let people down.
-
With 73 views I have my first pledge of a pound for a lb.....come on guys...can we do this?
-
I am doing the slim4alty i will sponsor you a maximum of a £5. Did you decide on that other matter you pm'd me about?
-
Yes, we'll do it and I'll stick a message on here later...
Thanks mate...I'll sponsor you a fiver as well!
-
I'll pledge a pound for a lb too :)
Good luck!
-
Ye me too - pound a lb :)
-
Now we are talking..thanks a lot.
I will be doing a new website for TASC very soon..I will add a page to it to show ho much we have pledged and progress.
I can't back out now can I!
-
I am going to the wiegh in at 1pm i will post my wieght on here no point hiding it i will need all the encouragement i can get ::) ::)
-
Ecky I have pledged an amount, partly outof admiration for your spamming tactics....very enterprising!
Good luck to all slimmers and if I can find a bit of spare cash then everyone else should....why not pledge todays entrance fee to a slimmer?
-
Ecky,
A truly noble gesture.
I shall sponsor you for £1.00 per pound of relaxed muscle lost.
I expect to see you lose pounds and duly emulate the magnificent physique of the great Tunna himself in seven weeks time.....
-
Ecky, if you lose a stone i'll give you 20 quid.
What was the official weight at the beginning of the process?
-
Now we are talking....thanks to all so far.
Will do a count up now....
The official starting weight is 19st on the nose.
Yeah I know...I'm tall and I get away with it a little bit before you start.

Thanks mate...thats made me drop my ryvita laughing ......now at £272...
-

Yes good point. What happens if you weigh in 19st plus, I know the sponsors would owe nothing but would you have to match the pound for lb gain?

If I continue to weigh 19st for much longer then you be having a minutes applause for me ( I hope) so its not really an option.
-
Put me down for £ for a pound :)
-
Thanks mate...i reckon we can do £500 here..now at £286 for a stone...we need to get the cash rich London Alty on board now....dripping in gold..

Top man..many thanks..that takes us to £300 for the stone...its getting serious this now...
-
Ecky,
How do we know that you are not just going to resort to having a gastric band operation like Fern Britton?
-
To encourage me to lose wieght i will post my starting wieght on here and Ecky was a twinkle toes compared to me i wieghed in at a massive 19 stone 8 lb i knew i had put on a bit of lead since giving up smoking but it shocked me.
If you see me even look towards Barneys chippy slap me ;D ;D.
Ecky was braver than me he got wieghed in fronts of the vxcs supporters who had just finished the sponsored walk.
-
Whats worse than getting weighed in front of 10 people?
Getting weighed in front of 30 Vics fans...why not get some representatives in from Macc to top it off.
You won't be able to see me and Darren sde on by the end of Feb...
-
Ecky,
I'll do a pound for a pound as well
Fair play for doing it!!
-
£352 and counting...this is a superb response...please help me make it to £500....anything welcome....
-
Ecky,
I'll do a pound for a pound as well
Fair play for doing it!!
Appreciated mate..thanks for your support
-
Well I'll dive in with another £20, but as I'm down here I'll need to know how to forward it should the required weight drop happen ;)
I've stuck a few on too this xmas so you never know the missus might top that up by a pound a pound as she seems to have a problem with it. I think I'm cuddly.

I was one of the Vics walkers yesterday and would like to thank all at the Alty club for the hospitality they showed.
IF the rearranged game is a midweek match and I can't make it (I'll be travelling up from Cambridge), then I'll donate my entrance fee to the Alty cause by way of a further thank you.
Now you can't say fairer than that!
Good luck with it all!
-
Yeah I suppose the biscuits were nice ;) Could well be in a similar situation if the new date ends up being a Tuesday night. If the game is played midweek I'll send my admission fee too :o
-
Happy New Year Ecky. I'll give £15 if you can loose a Stone.

Hiya Ecky, Count me in as well for £15. Good luck to you mate
Thanks a lot Pal...that takes us to £534
I have just had three ryvita's on my break..much prefer them to sausage and egg barms anyway.

Ahh yes, but which variety? Are you a traditionalist or do you go for the new fangled fancy dan crispbread varieties?
I see Ryvita have kept away from poppy seeds to cater for the far east market.....mind you heroin chic and all that. You never see a fat junkie do you? Have you even considered the H-plan diet?
Anyway, fair play to ya. I'll go for a pound a pound mate (ooooh and I've just had a lovely bacon buttie.....sorry couldn't resist).
-
19 stone you fat bastard (joke)
i am in for 17 cedi per pound possibly around for the kettering game if not i will fund corner flag/

-
I know this is really for ecky Donations but 10er each for Ecky and Flynny
-
when do you both want money by. Flynny if i don't see you mate i'll just give it to Niall to pass onto you.
-
Uncle Globnasty, Gazelle, Blackley Robin and James.....thank you very much indeed.
In terms of ryvitas they are indeed them posh ones with the Trilll on....Ryvita have diversfied into them...don;t know if they contain any form of amphetamines though. gorgeous
Pete, thanks for your kind words :)
Again thanks to all, your support is tremendous..
-
Total now stands at £586.....one more person going pound for pound would give us £600 for the stone....
Can I squeze one last bit of seasonal goodwill from someone?
Payment not needed until end of Feb!
-
I pledge 25 Euro's Ecky if you make the target, 20 Euro's for anything less. I'll get it to you somehow, think im back at the start of March anyway.
With the exchange rate going the way it is that could be a couple of grand by the time feb comes round.
Good Luck, stay off the Toblerones!
-
Mark
Well done here's to you losing the weight.
£14 to make it up to £600.
-
I know this is really for ecky Donations but 10er each for Ecky and Flynny

No need for any money until the end of February.
-
Thanks to all for yesterdays donations...we now stand at £649 for the stone...keep the pledges coming in if you can!
-
If that's you in your picture I think my money might be safe ;)
-
More generous donations by private message....now at £664...
-
If that's you in your picture I think my money might be safe ;)
Everything is relative....a stone is only 3% of his body weight ;)
-
I'm concerned that Ecky may have pulled a fast one and used lookey likey double Mike Crockett as his stand in for the weigh in.
It's fooled people before!!!
-
Thanks to more genorosity we are now at £693.50....anyone do me 50p a lb to take it over £700?
-
£699.50.....£699.50....can I get just one more person to take me over £700?
-
Where does the money go to again? Is it Alty and the SOS scheme?
-
Slot me in for £20 which I'll double if Alty win on the day I give it you !!!!!
-

Thank mate, much appreciated.
The money goes directly to Alty, although so does the SOS money so I'm not really sure which is the answer that would get me some Jenga dollars?

I remember when I went through a spell of buying one sausage at the Robins' retreat for every goal we scored. And then one day I found they weren't open after matche any more...

Mark,
May I suggest 20 star jumps each morning?

I was one of the Vics walkers yesterday and would like to thank all at the Alty club for the hospitality they showed.
IF the rearranged game is a midweek match and I can't make it (I'll be travelling up from Cambridge), then I'll donate my entrance fee to the Alty cause by way of a further thank you.
Now you can't say fairer than that!
Good luck with it all!
Well I believe that the rearranged game is now Feb 3rd which is a Tuesday. I'm not sure yet if I can make that or not but in light of Alty's gesture today, I'll cough up anyway.!

I don't think £1,000 is out of the question here. Could this not be posted to the media to raise awareness of what 'we' as fans are doing for our club ?

Haha, come on!! Spoilsport!
I'll change my ammount to 100 Euro's if you make into the SAM holding a pork pie and a tenner. Plus you have to wear a skin tight alty top to demonstrate the struggle ahead.
Its purely genius. Will anyone else match the ammount (approx 90 quid). Im serious
-
£90 only gets you 100 Euros.
sh*t!
-
OGC...its a kind offer but I would have to decline.
No problems being a fat b**tard amongst fellow Alty fans on here...don't really want to be stopped in the street to discuss it.
-
Ecky,
Any plans to issue one of those fitness and weight loss DVDs in due course like that woman who used to be in Steps.....?
-
With thanks to Bryan Ford, Dave Thorpe and Dave Cameron (put you down for a fiver mate)...another £25 pledged last night.
Total now at £927.50...edging closer..
-
How's the weight loss going? Lost anything yet or is our money safe ;)
-
I reckopn I have done about 5 lbs so far so work to be done...but I am trying
No pies at the match last night for me...

put me down for a tenner mate, give you the money next time i see you
-
Ecky would not appear on the front of SAM holding a pork pie and a tenner as they dont make Pork Pies big enough.
only joking, think I am bigger than you mate, i had to move off pork pies to kebabs just to keep my stamina up. Mind you the wife doesnt mind :o
-
Ecky, You can put me down for a fiver.

Update...
Right, I'm going off the scales at weighwatchers that say I have lost 10.5 lbs since Weds 7th January when I joined.
Been at the gym every day trying to get this last bit off..so we'll see.
Whilst some people may say "I could do that easy" I've got to admit its been bloody hard.
Highlights include when I had three bags of tesco's own crisps at 11:40pm one night as they were only small and then felt racked with guilt
I'll update you next Wednesday night when I have the last weigh in before the one at the club....it could be cress all the way Thursday/Friday!
And if anyone is reading this for the first time and wants to jib in to make the magic £1000 it would be superb!
-
put me down £1/ lb lad
-
Dino,
Thank you, much appreciated..update on latest to follow..
Three more people doing a pound a lb would get me £1000......can I find three more?
-
If I can be excsed from the weigh in cos I just haven't lost any weight at all basically I will mkae up the cost for you to get to £1000 Ecky.
Sorry to be a (fat) sh*thouse everyone but I think that's fair?
-
Tremendous Ballers...if we can't get any others I'll hold you to that..thanks mate..
-
Well done Ecky.
I did say a tenner, but make it £1 a lb.
Keep going.
-
£750 handed over to the club so far.
Still a few more to pay...
Please PM with so I can arrange to sort thiswith you, credit/debit card if you're not at Cambridge may be easiest.
I'd be grateful if I didn't have to trawl the thread and PM people individually.
Thanks to all who helped with this.
