($25 entrance fee)
Fatty FatOff 2012 will have both individual winners, and a winning team. This is to help keep everyone motivated throughout the entire competition. Weight loss can be a hard thing to get the motivation for, so this competition is not only to be the biggest loser, but to help everyone get as buff as Nicky B.
See the prizes section below for details.
Contestants:
- Similar to last year, all potential contestants must be in good health and willing to work
hard for the full 8 weeks (Yes, you read that correctly -- 8 weeks!) to
make themselves healthier and more fit. This contest does not promote any
crash diets or any other extreme diet/weight loss methods. This contest encourages contestants to lose
weight in a healthy and sustainable manner.
- Contestants must register and pay the $25 general registration fee on
or by the start of the competition.
- Contestants will have 8 weeks to lose the largest PERCENTAGE
% of their total body weight. (A 160lb person who loses 10lbs = 6.25%
of their body weight.)
Weigh-Ins:
- Initial weigh-in will take place at 11:00am on Friday, January 13th (Last years start date was January 11th).
- Required weekly weigh-ins will take place at 11:00am every Friday for
the duration of the contest. Weekly weigh-ins are to help motivate and
track everyone's progress so please, no sandbagging.
- If you are not available on the day of a weigh-in, you will need to weigh
in at the next possible time when you return.
- Final weigh-in will take place on Friday, March 9th. You MUST be present
for the final weigh-in in order to win any prizes. All weigh-ins will
happen fully-clothed minus belts, shoes, jewelry and watches.
Rules:
- You are required to wear the same exact clothes at the initial and final
weigh ins. Photos will be taken to serve as a reminder -- no exceptions!
- While weight tampering is highly discouraged, any alterations made must
occur inside the body. You may choose to drink and/or eat as little or
as much as you like prior to the initial weigh-in, but you may not:
- wet your hair or clothing
- fill your pockets, underpants, socks, mouth, etc. with sand, water
or other heavy material
- wear ankle weights, backpacks, fanny packs, camelpacks, etc.
- wear multiple shirts, hats, pairs of pants, socks, etc. (unless you
intend to wear the same for the final weigh-in)
- ingest anything that could be detrimental to your health
- All contestants must be weighed using the official Fat-O-Meter scale.
No contestant should be on the scale outside of official weigh-ins.
- Will-power related sabotage is permissible. For instance, someone may
leave a Krispy Kreme donut box in the proximity of one or more contestants
to tempt their strength.
- Any sabotage or tampering with the official Fat-O-Meter scale or a contestant's
weigh-in results is not permitted and is grounds for disqualification.
- All contestants must accept the terms of this contest listed above to
participate, therefore all whining about rules and/or dates of contest
will be ignored with zeal!
- If any conflict arises that impacts the winner(s) of this contest, a
committee of three non-participants will be appointed to settle the issue.
Their decision will be final.
- In the event that a reasonable decision or solution is not possible,
contestants will be notified and only then given the option to drop
out of the contest and have their registration fees returned to them.
Any contestant may drop out of the competition at any time, but will
forfeit their registration fee unless otherwise
stated by the committee, no exceptions.

- Overall Winner The individual who loses the highest percentage of their body weight will receive 40% of collected registration fees, be crowned King/Queen Fatty, receive the fatoff crown, and bragging rights.
- Second Place The person who loses the second highest percentage of their body weight overall will receive 20% of all collected registration fees
