June 22, 2007 - Week 4 of Starvation

The results are posted at www.bigfatloserguy.com.

We have our third new leader in as many weeks. All bow to Aha, Plumbing, who has floated to the top after dumping almost 4 lb since the last weigh-in. And in what may be a first for Mr. Plumbing, he also has the biggest "R" in the group. Congratulations. After our fourth weigh-in, it has become evident that there are three distinct groups in the contest.

The Serious Guys (12 to 8 lb) The top three participants have lost between 8-12 pounds since the start. Performance-enhancing elements such as water aside, they have lost more weight by far than the rest of the group. This competitive group seems to be actually trying to lose weight. To make sure that this breakaway group's intensity doesn't get the best of them, I am clarifying that I will be counting major limbs at the last weigh-in. This should match the number at the start of the contest.

The College Try Guys (5.5 to 4 lb) These main pack guys appear to be making some effort to lose weight. While not in the same league as the serious guys, they should be lauded for their effort. If they sustain this pace, that will mean a 15-20 lb loss at the end of the contest.

Pie in the Sky Guys (2.5 to -1 lb) The last trailing group, much like the ocean tides, appear to be relying on the position of the moon to regulate their weight loss. I would recommend moving an appendage or two once in a while for this group, and getting off the "see food" diet.
