You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Yet to work the details out on this, but I need to lose a good bit come the new year, wondered on the idea of a fat club type thing again - help encourage/motivate people, hopefully!
I'm sure the shop could work out some kind of prize for biggest loser...
Stick a note below if you'd be interested, I'll see if this is worth all the spreadsheet faff...

Count me in. I need to lose at least a stone, possibly 2.
Count me in - been on medication for pretty much all of 2009 and put on 30lbs as a result. Need to get things back under control.
Yup count me in, I've got to get fit for the cheese party in April for starters!

Me and two mates are looking to lose 9stone between us!!!!

I'll have a go. Mail in profile.
I need to gain a stone or two - can i join in?
I need to drop a stone. Well I did a couple of weeks ago, might be a bit more now thanks to the mince pies. I'll be aiming at 210 by April 1st anyway.
Another hand in the air here! I lost 2 stone last year and another 3 to go. Only when I have made my target will I get some new wheels.

Count me in, I need to lose three stone to be back to fighting weight. (hence bigG)

Goan,IIRC you are a scot.Wth a diet that consist of 70% fat,and 30% alcohol,why are you underweight? You're obviously not slacking enough.
Ian
Count this one in, if indeed girls are allowed. I'm thinking of going to my turbotrainer, thinking.... My mate would prob be interested too.
jes - i'm not underweight, just fancy gaining a few pounds for insulation purposes.
Me too. I failed miserably last year so I really should try again.
in.
i haven't put any weight on over xmas but i still want/need to lose about 2 stone by my next birthday (early may) so this will be a good way to motivate/track myself.
I failed miserably last year
ditto - and i was running it!
Just looked back - Started FC'09 at 219lbs, ended at 210 - long way off the 196 target.....
currently at 215lbs, which now seems pretty constant for me - has not even budged over crimbo though we have not over indulged too much.....
Anyways - count me in!
Cheers
Chris
I need to get shut of a couple of stone so my hands up for this.Thanks

If I recall marsdenman had a spreadsheet all sorted not sure if he's willing to pass that to 18bikes and have them run it.
Don't think I lost anything last year in the end but no heavier I hope.....
But yes would like to be involved.
Want to have lost a stone by the end of August so whatever length of time fat club runs for, I will definitely be in. Lost about half a stone in last years first club, then slowed during the second and kind of let go so almost back to last years situation. [s]Must[/s] Will make it stick this time!
Count me in, i need to loose another two stones, email in profile, ta
i have eaten too much...mail in profile 😀
In. want to loose a few stone before kielder 100
count me in.
Last time I made any proper effort to lose weight was on here with fat club about 5 years ago, when Sideways Tim was sending out mars bars for weekly winners 🙄 but it tasted so good 😳
Would like to lose a stone so count me in. (Probably won't succeed though).

Which is why the end of August is my target, we will be fine! Sorted one practice hill so far, based on that elevation profile you put me onto.
+1 email in profile
The hills will be fine, it's the amount of daylight that I'm worried about!
I could do with it as well, going to try and lay off white bread and potatoes to start with but all the help is appreciated so +1 here as well, surfydave(AT)googlemail(DOT)com, my BMI is slightly high or so I have been told
Would seem rude not to give it ago. So plus one more...
Add me in - Want to be able to cycle up those hills without draggijg a couple of stone extra. alan dot dow (at) ntlworld dot com
should I be reading this thread while eating a bag of toffee and pecan cookies?
Great, we'll make it happen somehow- first weigh in sometime first week Jan. Will chat with matt on sat ref prizes and repost then. Keep Em coming- more the merrier.
I think running long term makes sense, maybe with in between targets?
Perhaps run a yearly biggest looser, then a monthly, biggest looser of the month, then perhaps at the end of the year, a biggest looser in a week over the year etc
Just need to eat my way through a mountain of christmas chocolate before midnight on Thursday and then I'm in ! Email in profile, thanks, I need this !
If I recall marsdenman had a spreadsheet all sorted not sure if he's willing to pass that to 18bikes and have them run it.
replied to easygirls thread earlier - sorry but, in all honesty, the spreadsheet really is not worth having - MrsMM (excel whizz) set it up, my ham fisted attempts at re-hashing it (excel dufuss) made it a bit of a pain to work with in the end 🙄
Happy to send it for reference though if you like?
A more useful thing i can proffer is the little converter she built in excel that converts weights in all types - kg's, stones etc to pounds - pounds was the metric we based our 'club' on and I know form experience that not everyone will be able to provide their weights in your requested / preferred measure. Let me know if you want it.
Chris
Count me in as well. I want to loose 2st and could do with the motivation/shame to give me a kick up the arse!
Email also in profile. Cheers
Count me in, need to lose at least 2 stone!
oh go on then...
I'm about 1/2 stone heavier than this time last year. Lost 1/2 over the while (but gained 1 since)
Thinking about doing the Leadville 50 in July so need to drop a stone or two!
yes. 6 months of hotels and curries has left me about 1.5 st above where I was in the summer which is itself about 1/2 - 1 st more than I'd like to be.
Just so long as we don't start until early 2010. There's a heck of a lot of cold meat and leftover choccies to get through yet.
im in as well, 2 stone to lose
Count me in - need to lose about 3 stone and motivation is severely lacking.
So how do we know how much we need to loose? I'm 6' 1" and 32yrs, what's my 'ideal weight' ? Currently 15 stn.
I need to loose 2 to 3 stone 🙁 so count me in.
Simular to AndyPaice, i am 6'4" and 31yrs, with a current weight of 15 stone. I need to get down to rece weight of 13 stone but a minimum of 12 stone, without loosing to much power.
count me in, e mail in profile.
A.
Please count me in, foolishly signed up for a 24hr race solo, need to lose 4 stone!
In. I need to shed a stone - currently 170 pounds and 5'7" and a bit. Would like to be 154 pounds.
I'll give it a go, been a bit of a fat bastid for a few years since giving up smoking, bikes have been in the shed since our now 2.5 year old was born, I've been on steroids for most of the year trying to get my ulcerative colitis under control and have put on another 2 stone. Probably need to lose 5 stone in total 🙁

I'm in. I lost nearly a stone last year and would like to lose another stone by my 50th in August 😯 Email in profile.
Does this forum attract overweight cyclists? I have noticed that most of the FS clothes are XL or XXL.
Count me in ...
According to Wii fit I'm 109.25kg with a BMI of 33.75
Target to start would be around the 90 kg mark so I need all the help i can get

Yes, count me in.Would like to lose about 3 stone. Email in profile.
I'm up for a bit of this too....... need to loose 2-3 stone, email in profile!
O.K. Count me in!
email in profile - two stone to shift! (and counting 🙄 )
Need to get 10KG off here 🙁 Love to see what this is all about !
email in profile
I'm in, got at least 2 stone to lose.
So, first weigh in going to be in the shop then? (shivers at the thought of dozens of STW-ers in speedos for a weigh in)
Never going to be the biggest loser (with "only" a stone as a target) but found it very motivating last year. Longer run with the usual naming and shaming each week made me think each time I reached for the biscuit box.
Couple of stone off here wouldn't go amiss. E-mail in profile

e-mail: toshxs@googlemail.com

If I could shed a couple of stone before the Strathpuffer it'd be handy 😀
Count me in too. Need to loose a few kgs over the next few months.
count me in lost nearly 2 stone in 2009 all down to coming back biking and need to loose another 2 stone if I'm honest maybe 1 more. 😳
I'll then have a really light bike 😆
email in profile

Count me in. My email's in my profile 1.5 stone to loose!
Im up for this. Need some extra motivation to shift about a stone (probably a bit more now after cristmas). Mail in profile too.
Me too

ohh.. I was hoping someone would come up with this this year - I too am a drop out from last years club and I could do with losing a good stone and a half ( or two )

cheers,
sure, can't hurt! email in profile
Count me in too please.
I did it a couple of years ago and won a prize off Singletrackworld! for loosing the most flab. 😀
They sent me a tee shirt that didn't fit 😕
Thankfully most of the flab didn't go back on and I'm actually lighter now then what I was when I "won" a few years back.
unfortunatley for everyone here, I still have loads to loose so I might be winning the "I lost the most fat prize" again. 😆
EDIT - worryingly I'm fat enough to join the American army! (see fat calculator above)
Count me in ...According to Wii fit I'm 109.25kg with a BMI of 33.75
Target to start would be around the 90 kg mark so I need all the help i can get
I was in last year at some point.
Put a bit of weight back on recently (Christmas 😀 ).
However, I was about a year ago 105.8kg, now 82kg (low of 80kg).
It CAN be done 😀
Eat naff all. Take up running. Be bloody minded.
Good luck all.
oh go on then - I could do with shedding a couple of stone - simonjf63 at hotmail dot com
I'm in. I need to lose at least 10kg before an op in the spring.
