you look even slimmer with your clothes on, can we have a pic of the baby ?

Well done for the weight loss. Did something similar a few years ago, and still get nice comments from people I haven't seen for a while.

good work del boy.

How does it look without that woolly jumper on?

What's wrong with your trousers?

{Tannoy} Mr Molgrips to the forum, Mr Molgrips {Tannoy}

What's wrong with your trousers?

Got squiffed when he was photoshopping

What's wrong with your trousers?

They are way too big for him now.

Good work fella!

I LOVE you lot.

Trousers are too big but if I get a smaller waist, my MAHOOSIVE quads don't fit in....

DS Lite in flight. Followed by Mr Binners of this parish.

bloody hell you lot give a guy some praise when it is due
Well done DS, good effort

Nice one mate. Good effort.

[i]*pokes at own flabby tyre with a thoughtful finger*[/i]

Well done 51 Lbs lost, sense of humour gained! 😀

Balls... wors beat me too it.

Bloody well done mate, superb achievement, and as Ballbag wors mentioned you have now developed an excellent sense of humour and can no doubt look back on that thread with a chortle!

Cheers for the +ve comments.

I guess the -ve comments of 2009 helped spur me on to lose weight tbh.

I was new to the forum when I posted my bar-end result picture and didn't expect the "are you pregnant" comments etc.

Of course now, I'd expect nothing less 😀

I bet those big fans generate a decent tailwind.

I remember lauging at your first post and all those pregnant comments. Well done.

My wife will be delighted 🙂 I was too shy to ask for a peek when I saw you the other day.

51 lbs? A-Mazing - well done!

51 pounds!!!! WOW!

Gore-tastic and oddly homo-erotic... STW at its best! 🙂

Well done derek_starship!

Aye.

While the second piccy isn't exactly pretty.

Good for you for losing all that heft.
Trick now is to maintain your lighter, leaner, body while enjoying your diet.

Hhhhmmmm.
Before and after photos.

Didn't someone else of these here parts promise a [i]before[/i] and [b]after[/b] picture....

MolG ?....

🙂

Derek, refresh my memory, did you have bar ends in when you did that?

Gore-tastic and oddly homo-erotic... STW at its best!

Please - just confirm that you haven't "used" the pictures for anything untoward 😳

Solo - I know I'm no racing snake but the weight loss / fitness improvement is a work in progress.

DS Lite

Well, I LOLed.

Good going, matey. There's a delicious irony in something good coming out of throwing yourself to the braying mob. We should all be proud.

STW: shaming fat lads back into fitness since 2009.

Please - just confirm that you haven't "used" the pictures for anything untoward

Of course. 8)

*wonders if berm bandit is taking the piss*

BB - I had bar-end plugs in. Yes. The point of my original post back in 2009 was to warn people about the potential danger of not having plugs fitted. The A&E doc' said without the plug in place, the bar would have taken a core sample of skin, fat and then organs. Big chance I'd have bled out on the trail if that had happened.

[i]Solo - I know I'm no racing snake but the weight loss / fitness improvement is a work in progress[/i]

Yes mate, thats life. Be happy, be a sensible weight.
Eat stuff which doesn't make you fat or requires that you run a marathon afterwards to mitigate eating bads.

So long as you're happy with the result, happy to continue whatever you have done to lose weight.
Then it should be all good.
😉

I bet those big fans generate a decent tailwind.

I bet it's their last night's curry that's powering them!

PP - curry?!??! My body is a temple. I wouldn't allow such filth across the threshold 😉

My body is also a temple.

The gods happen to like offerings of cake though.

🙂

[i]curry?!??! My body is a temple. I wouldn't allow such filth across the threshold[/i]

Sure you do. Or at least, you should.

I get a Ruby once or twice a month, its all doable.

[img] [/img]

Well done sir.

My body is also a temple. It has a big shiny dome on top 😀

I seem to recall I was seriously curry powered that morning.

[img] [/img]

Why do you think Derek was trying so hard to stay in front of me. The big fans were being employed as a dispersal mechanism PARP!!!

No pics from me - belly not ready yet.

Yay! well done Derek.
Maybe you could re-name yourself 'Derek Starfighter', which sounds faster and slimmer. 🙂

😯 Half my bodyweight.

well done you.

PP - curry?!??! My body is a temple. I wouldn't allow such filth across the threshold

That's one big temple.

Shreck - you're hilarious. You should have an agent. Sarin should do it.

Nob.

fair play to you Mr Starship

Half my bodyweight.

emsz - are you a dwarf? You haven't been on any nights out with the England rugby team lately have you?

Half my bodyweight.

well done you.

LOL. Lose the same again and emsz can ride you like a pony and you won't even notice 😀

Tempted to show my mahoosive belly off in the hope of receiving similar inspiration! 🙂

Well done tho can't beleive that was 2 years ago, I remember the thread well.

Eating here! 😯

C'mon Tops... get your belly out, we need to abuse someone rather than congratulating Derek.

Golly 51lbs, thats a 3rd of my weight!!

BloominEk.. well done son.

To counter the praise, with touching modesty , I shouldn't have allowed my weight to increase
to what it did. I'm only 5' 9" yet I'd hit 18st 3lb when I decided to take action.

Once again though kids - I appreciate the congtrat's

I wouldn't touch your modesty..

*wonders if berm bandit is taking the piss*

Nope, would have done had I thought of it, but I didn't so no I wasn't.

Just wondering if you would mind me nabbing the pics to use when I'm coaching? I know people don't get it when you tell em about the risk, perhaps this would help get the message over.

Berm Bandit - please feel free to re-use the pics for use in any training literature or presentation.

I'd be honoured to help prevent a potentially fatal injury.

Just wondering if you would mind me nabbing the pics to use when I'm coaching?

Are you teaching them that if they use bar end plugs, they'll lose 51 lbs?

and emsz can ride you like a pony and you won't even notice

Blimey - losing 102lbs would be quite an achievement but to expect emsz to "change buses" and then ride me is asking a bit much 😆 😯

Blimey, I'd not recognise you if I met you again; there's slightly less of you than when I had a ride in the back of your car at HTN. Good work.

Derek Starfighter

fair play dude! fair play for having the guts to post the photos and losing the gut in the first place 😀

there's slightly less of you than when I had a ride in the back of your car at HTN

😯 😯

there's slightly less of you than when I had a ride in the back of your car at HTN

Blimey, and I thought you were just dropping off traffic cones.

Why didn't I get a ride in the back of your car at HTN? S'not fair! 🙁

You were too busy jigging on the podium.

The prize at next years HtN is DS's missing 51 lbs.

derek_no_longer_the_size_of_a_starship, well done mate!

The original thread was a bit of a piss take fest, good response. 😉

Well done! When I first saw the first pic (In the injuries thread) I wasn't sure if it was that size due to swelling 😀 😯 Much better now - doesn't put me off my tea

Awesome! Well done!

Soon you'll have a six pack, like me.

C'mon Tops... get your belly out, we need to abuse someone rather than congratulating Derek.

Best not - don't think I have Derek's tenacity!

Ah jeeze Harry Spider no need! Now I've got that idea stuck in me head. Nasty. 😡

Besides, that's considerably less than 51lbs of fayt.

Derek; you'll always be Starbelly to me. 🙂

Fair play; that's a proper achievement, that.

Being tiny does not in any way seem to stop Emsz from fighting in pubs though. 😐

51 lbs ****ing well done great effort. WELL DONE.

Give me so tips!!!

Iv lost 14 lbs since April, got another 30lbs to go mind!!

Wow, that was a memorable thread; I can't believe that was 2 years ago.

Massively well done Derek. 😀

[img] [/img]

Actually this is more like it

[IMG] [/IMG]

😛

Well done DS, you were slimmer than the original pic when i met you on the first turbines ride, now you're unrecognisable!

Please don't tell me that thread was 2 years ago...

Oh and well done Mr DS Lite. 51lbs is something to be *very* smug about.

Well done DS.

A couple of pounds a month doesn't seem like a lot but over 2 years that's one hell of an achievement. Put into perspective, it's the equivalent of two of these:-

Well done DS, keep up the good work!

wow - I don't know lbs - but 23.13321087KG is very impressive....

You have my permission to treat yourself to a new belt and trousers that fit - go on, you deserve it!
