You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Second consecutive week of 0.7 pound loss for me. If this develops into a pattern I’ll be back to where I started in April in a mere 3 weeks 😀
How the hell could I have been 139 pounds on Tuesday and 143 today?? I knew I was a mite dehydrated following riding in the sunshine over the weekend, but that’s just silliness.
You think that is bad Rob. I was 2 lb heavier after the weekend, and I did a 12 hour race in that sunshine with almost 4000m of climbing! I think it must of been a blip from all the food and drink I crammed in on Sunday evening as it now seems to have fallen off again and I am back on track . Phew
a kilo off this week (probably a bit less but my scales aren't too accurate so I only deal in whole numbers) but that was with a pretty concerted effort. I guess the 3-day weekend didn't help as that's one extra day BBQ and one less day of monk-like existence at work. Roll on the 5-day weeks!
Chip, chip, chip, chip, chipping away...
No chips were eaten in the making of this skinniness. Sadly 😔 😔 I love me some chippies!!
Well. This Chub Club has been a shocker.
Not helped by eating my body weight in Mr Whippy this last week.
Maybe next time....
*stares wistfully into the distance*
Well I got on the scales this morning and the news wasn’t good!
So jumped on the bike, rode 65k and then re-weighed myself and yay 😀 a tiny loss on last week

No updates?
Still fat, still not much happening 0.5lb increase this week
0.5lb increase this week
I also! Now only -40% off target 😥
Still, I'm happy, so **** it. Maybe I'll shed a touch this week instead.
Status update: still fat.
Still no weight loss in the last few weeks - frustrating as!
The Story so Far tracker has been fixed.
Read it and weep!! I did 😥
Edit: The new currency of Fat Club is the truly vile Greggs Steak Bake.
Rancid as they are, I thought it would be something easy to relate to.
Having just got back from 4 days (road) riding in the Highlands, I was expecting to be super-whippet like. I was not expecting to have gained weight 😮
Perhaps I needed to have moderated my calorie intake as well as doing shed loads of km, instead of eating with carefree abandon 😄
Summer holiday next, ooops.
3.3 lbs loss!!!
I'm going to take this as a small victory (even though it's just getting back to my start-ish weight)
Onwards and fatwards!
K'in 'ell, this has gorn a bit quiet innit!
I think there's at leat 3 or 4 of us still at it.
'Brothers in Flab'
I'm holding on for a big push in Q3 V3 - "Fatfighters - Summer Bikini Edition" (with photos)
I have flatlined 🙁
After months of a gradual loss I find it impossible to break through to the next level. Having a week in Northern Spain didn't help. It is no wonder that all the locals were so rotund! And to top it all I have a wedding tomorrow so can write of this week coming as well. Perhaps I need to be happy with the fact that I am about 10kg less than this time last year. and just carry on now until winter and a time when I can take a bit more control of things. Just too much happening at the moment 🙁

Very much this! Don't see failure in your success :).
Now I’ve returned from me Summer hollibobs I can confirm that holidays are bad for you – don’t take holidays!!
Or, take a set of scales with you and weight yourself obsessively 😀
11 pounds I put on in 17 days! 11 pounds!!!!
That’s 93 steak bakes!!!! 😥
Can I also advise against the purchasing of pizza ovens!
11lbs! Good work, just tell yourself it’s water weight, easy on, easy off ( I think 🤔)
Summer holidays are murder. Just been on holiday in Iceland for a week with my folks paying - time for me to get back on the wagon. Now I look like one of the whales we spotted (yes, it was that Iceland. I've not spent a week eating frozen vol au vents).
I'll update my weight when I finally dare to weigh myself tomorrow morning.
Started 2017 at 16st 10lb. As of this weekend I’m 13 st 13. But that’s not as good as buying pair of size 32 waist jeans!
I think I might as well sit it out till the next version.
Been a shocker since April. Back to weight at beginning of the year. The personification of a yo-yo diet.
Don’t give up, Jamie. Losing the weight is so worth it. Just tell yourself every morning after a bad eating day that today is a new one and that you can make a fresh start.
Same ol, same ol, bit on, bit off but still way better than start of the year but still a way off target.
Ride London in 1 moth from now, must shift some kilos for that.
Are we doing Chub Club Bikini Body? or going solo....
I don't mind picking up the admin if Rob H is done with it (sterling effort to date!)
The final curtain! Get yo updates in, read em, then, like me, weep 🙂
CC3 is looming!! I'll get it sorted over the weekend.
Cheers for the offer El Tigre, but I'm happy to continue - for now.
Now I know how it needs to work, I think I'll re-do the entire thing at some point so it can be passed on and used without imploding - the stuff in the background is a wee bit messy and pretty complex in parts.
Thanks for keeping this going Rob. I got about halfway to my goal and stalled completely. Birthday parties, weekends away biking (and boozing), holidays, and general laziness got in the way of a concerted effort. Main positive is that I haven't put any weight on over this time, and I'm ready to change things up for Phase 3 and get that line pointed in the right direction again.
Thanks Rob.
Amusingly I have just actually got things a little bit in the right direction. Just in time for the end.
v3 here I come!
Many thanks for doing this again.
However I won’t be taking part in the next edition as I have finally hit my target.
After way too long, longer than I care to remember I no longer qualify for “ Clydesdale “ class and I can’t tell you how good that feels
Fatoldgit now weighs in at a meer 13 stone 13 and Half a pound
Thanks Rob!! I’m in for season 3 please!!!
Don't get too excited, but Edition 3 is go!!
If you're one of the 19 who input their final weight on the Edition 2 spreadsheet then this will pull through to Edition 3, if not then you can get on and input the figure yourself. Everyone needs to input their target - this edition run up to 21st of September, just before I undo all my hard work celebrating my birthday 🙂
Any previous contenders who fell by the wayside, but want back in, your name is still there. Anyone new to this charade who would like to sign-up, just email me and you'll get a link to the spreadsheet.
As per usual (at the start of proceedings), the charts are ****ed and will be sorted out in due course.
BRING ON THE SKINNINESS!!
Thanks Rob. I'm going to pretend Edition 2 never happened and proceed straight from Edition 1 🙂
Just to say your email with the link to the s/sheet went to spam, maybe 'cos of some sweary naughtiness.
Thanks for doing the charts and weekly reminders, they're a great motivator.
Mmm, spam.
I want to enter my info but it says #NA in my cells.
Kind of having an existential crisis as a result....am I not applicable to existing? Is this all fish? Bubble bubble...
Change your name in edition 2, Jamie.
Change it to "Jamie" 🙂
Sorted. Also had to enter the weight for the last day as had forgotten to do it.
Right, I skipped the last edition and it seems I've eaten everything in sight. Let's hope this time round is more productive for me!
Updates day it is, y'all.
Any lurkers who want to lose a spot of blubber need only email me begging to be allowed in.
Bribes welcome :).
3rd time lucky I hope!
7lbs dropped In a week! I have had a norovirus though.......
How fun is it trying to relocate old threads on the 'new' forum eh?
Anyway, holding pattern central, but have been away. So knuckling down from now....well, maybe Monday.
Also, I think that's cheating, Kato.
Edit: Huh....same weight as Rob now. Guess that makes us Blub Brothers.

You wish, Tubs - I'm down 2.5lbs 
Think I might be a wee bit dehydrated though...
It *was* mostly water loss. Dammit!!
Must try harder. Or just try :).
Down a massive lb.
woo-****ing-hoo.
I'm going to have to join! 78.5kg or 12stone 8lbs this morning 🙁 I'd like to be back to 75kg tops! No more Croissants, Pain au Chocolat or other pastries and more riding to start with...
Down a massive lb.
woo-****-hoo.
You're currently standing at 25% progress to target - don't be such a negative Nelly 😛
Can't believe that Welshfamerbloke is still losing weight! That's the kind of focus I could benefit from.
Just put my numbers in for Friday, a gain of 1.4 kg! I'm hoping it's all down to a course of steroids for a reaction to a insect sting/bite that I got whilst out on the road bike.
Why do the little tossers always get you on a downhill, when you're really shifting?
Agree with Rob, it's great to see people still plugging away.

Like ermahgerd!! I've done gone messed it all it up 
<div>A couple of nights out and I've ballooned like a blimp. I *need* to get back on the singlespeed plan quick-sharp before I become a festering couch potato.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Still, they <i>were</i> good nights out </div>
I've come to the realisation I lose weight better in winter. No idea why.
Anyway, off I go to enter my usual 150lbs-ish stats I have been at for about 3-4 months now 🙂
I’ve come to the realisation I lose weight better in winter. No idea why.
Seems to be a common theme. Loads of people keen and eager at the start of the year, large drop-offs in interest as the year progresses and a lack of motivation to keep going. I've certainly lost my way somewhat and am pretty ambivalent about finding it again - even though I kinda know I want to, but kinda don't care.
Yeah. I occasionally look down and grumble that I look a bit pudgy, but then go and eat a *insert summery snack here*. I've not even got booze as an excuse as I don't drink.
I think the biggest thing for me tho this year is a lack of exercise due to injuries. It's so easy to just slide into a '**** it' mode, if you can't exercise as well.
Thanks for keeping things going through it all, tho, Rob.
Huh. I put some effort in this week and lost some weight.
Who knew that’s how it worked.
Eye of the tiger, Jamie.
No pain, no gain!! Do you even lift, bro??
You’re going daaaahn Jamie!
Nice one playa
Been really struggling recently and I found it a lot easier to lose weight when I was heavier.
So I been on s 2 week all inclusive binge fest holiday and gained weight to see if it’s easier to lose from a higher start point.
I'm fat and need to lose weight. Can I join in on this thread? I've not followed it though, do I just post up start weight and take it from there? What are the rules?
After truly a first half of the year to forget for a whole host of reasons I’m finally on it. Done more on Zwift in the last 10 days than the preceding 13 months and actually feel almost motivated.
Trying to eat much better as well but the Maccy D’s I’ve just had was soooo nice 🙂

Welcome 🤗🤗

Away for 4 days from tomorrow, so expect it to go up again 🙂
Late to the party but that is me now signed up today with a first weigh in at a (frankly outrageous) 98.1kg. This shit just got real...

You might notice your target is a bit bobbins, but that doesn't matter - it'll adjust properly in the next edition.
If you fancy some motivation check out msjhes2's progress in the YTD version - not ****ing bad! Good work, that man!!
Nicely done qtip & simono5!
Keep up the good work.
Everyone else (including self): consider doing some/more good work 🙂
After a late surge, I basically spent the last weekend in eating out establishments, so as always, target will be missed.
Edition 4, tho. Going to smash it.
I'm in for the next round! Christmas is coming!
Christmas is coming, Rob is getting fat,
Please to put a penny in the old man's hat.
Seriously! Just been to the Doc's and I'm 7kg heavier than last time they weighed me!!
Pretty sure I've been since I was 8, so I reckon it must be down to pizza consumption rather than having gone through puberty.
Well I've been a bad boy and not posted any weight updates in months - mostly due to being on holiday 🙂
The bad news is that lots of beer increased my wieght by 2kg over July/August but I'm now back on it and having less beer and salad for lunch most days....yay 🙁
Please include me in the next one..... still got work to do.
Well since actually putting some effort in - logging calories on MFP and getting some Km’s in on Zwift I actually am seeing a slow but consistent downward weight trend. Bloody hard work though as my colitis is playing hell and I am permanently drained but am really pushing myself to do exercise.
Having a power meter has made the biggest difference as I am prone to infections if I over-train but being able to keep a proper eye on effort has meant I’ve now been able to exercise and not get I’ll for 4 weeks in a row. Doesn’t sound much but it’s more than I’ve managed in the last 2 or 3 years.
Ended up 4lbs off target.
I am however eating healthier with the occasional splurge at the weekend rather than every day.
I have however discovered these today.
They. Are. Crack.
You splurge on them before you eat them??
Sick puppy!
It gets me through the cold winter nights, Rob.
Let myself go on holiday at the end of July and haven't really got back on track.
Hoping the weekly weigh ins will get me motivated. Thanks for all the work you have been putting in Rob.
Is there going to be a pre-chrimbo lard shedding?
help! There isn’t no spreadsheet to enter my weight in. Please donut stop I need the motivation. 69.6.
Donut = do not. See it is already going wrong and I am fantazing over sugary white carbs
There isn’t no spreadsheet to enter my weight in. Please donut stop I need the motivation. 69.6.
are you 4'2" ? 69.6kg and overweight ? Oh, you're a 12 year old girl ?
Sorry guys! Not got my shit together and sorted out the spreadsheet - will do it over the weekend.
Promise!!
In the meantime, jot your chubbliness down on a scrap of paper and limit the amount of lard sandwiches you stuff into your face 🙂
Yo!
Tis done.
Any issues, give me a shout.
Anyone who wants in who aint, give me a shout.
Anyone who has a good suggestion of what the currency for this edition should be, give me a shout. Something seasonal would be good, but as long as the calorie content can be ascertained then anythings possible. Dust, for instance; being well know for having no nutritional value, is out.
Currency is mince pies, surely?
Or is it too early to go full Chrimbo?
These aren't just any mince pies...
The calorie difference between M&S and ASDA mince pies is quite something! I'd recommend anyone looking to 'bulk up' for the festive season to gorge themselves on the ASDA ones.
You'll be a beefcake in no time
I'm in that Crete right now and not sure I can do the reminder email from my phone. That's no excuse for not updating your updates though 🙂
P. S. I had feta and cake for breakfast 🤗🤗
Good work simono5!
And qtip
That welshfarmer bloke is still going strong!
Even our Jamie is keeping it up 🙂
