Well done, Steve, Pete, & Stu. Some impressive weight losses there - must be costing you a fortune in new clothes in a smaller size.

Note to Pete; better reduce the order for XXXL replicas for next season! :)

Always knew that all three were big losers ;) Well done guys! With so many Saturdays of football to lead you astray that's a fantastic achievement, will square up soon :)

Goodness knows how much I've put on, I'd had several pints,a full English and a plate of sausage and mash by about 11.30 am on Saturday.That was before I reached ale heaven in The Stanford Arms.

Thank you very much to whoever passed me singing and said, 'you keep going, I'll bring you out a pint' as well. It all got very hazy at points and I just can't remember who it was.

No new clothes but some of the old ones fit a lot better.

I need to lose a lot more and will try to keep going.

Cheers all ;)

65 lbs / 4.6 stone lost between you

That makes my £1/stone rounded up seem a little under-ambitious (because I've got shite all idea how much a stone is, or how hard it is to lose one), so I'll triple that and add my £5 Scottish for Steve winning to make £20. Where do I send it/give it?

Here's the "This is probably what you owe, assuming my back-of-a-fag-packet maths adds up"

- I'm rounding all the £/stone values up to 5 stone lost here, unless you gave separate offers for stone/lb
- I make it 65 lbs lost

Ste Story - £5
£10 if Stu Nichols wins
£1 for every stone lost by any competitor

Frazer Stewart - £5
£10 if Pete Garbacz wins
£1 for every stone lost by any competitor

Jim Cook - £10
£10 if Steve Herbert wins

Andy Brewerton - £43
£10 each for taking part (£30)
£1 for each stone lost (£4)
10p for every lb lost (£9)

Matt Burns - £10
£10 to the winning competitor

Keiron Hayman - £5
£10 if Stu Nichols wins
£1 for every stone lost by any competitor
A pizza buffet for Stu if he wins

Si Porter - £20
Si Porter - £5 each for taking part
Si Porter - £1 for each stone lost

Mark Mc - £25
£5 for each stone lost

Audigex - £10 £20
£1 for every stone lost
£2 for every stone gained
£5 if Pete wins
£5 scottish if Steve wins
£5 worth of food donated to the foodbank if Stu wins

Curtly Etchells - £30
£1 for every lb Stu loses (max £15)
£1 for every lb Steve loses (max £15)

Adam Johnson - £15
£5 for each taking part

Chris Altree £36
£5 to each runner up (£10)
£1 for every lb lost by the winner (£26)
£50 if Steve loses 2 stone by Lowestoft (A) - saved by 2 lbs

Bingo - £25
£50 if Stu wins
£25 if either Pete or Steve wins

Callum Snell - £15 (I think? Assuming £10 was for Stu taking part, not winning)
£10 for Stu Nichols
£2.50 for each half stone Stu loses (£5)
(I assume from this quote, on the bottom of the pledges post: "Would just like to stick £10 on big Stuey Nichols, with a further £2.50 contributed for each half stone he manages to lose")

Dave Ingham - £25
£5 for each stone lost
£20 if Stu wins

Jonty - £23
£5 each for taking part (£15)
50p per lb lost by third place. (£8)

Jonny Pearce £6.40
£50 if Stu Nipps wins assuming the other competitors lose at least a stone
10p for every lb lost - £6.40

Which gives a total of: £318.40 and three much slimmer looking bluebirds. Well done gents.

I pledged this a while ago. Where do I send the money - PayPal to the Bluebird Trust?

£65 winging the Trust's way by PayPal, following audigex's fag packet calculation of 65 stones lost between the slimmed-down three. Congratulations each and all.
