This year, as every other, I have commited to losing weight.
So who is up for a weekly post of your weight and percentage gain/loss. I'm starting at 13"10 and aiming to lose the 10.
Heckling and weight based abuse is welcome alongside contributions as above.
There's a my fitness pal group singletrack group, somebody knocked a natty graph up a few months ago, can we do that again?
I've put seven pounds on over Xmas!
I must have lost 2 stone this morning, hopefully my final Yule tide log
Did you have to break it up with a wire coat hanger?I must have lost 2 stone this morning, hopefully my final Yule tide log
I am now into my third year of Les Mills Group Exercise. Bodypump, Bodycombat, Bodyattack, CXWorx, Bodybalance and now GRIT.
I lost two and a half stone in nine weeks. For me its a way of life, I love it!.
The 'fat' pic is with the lovely Pamela Ballantine from UTV at the 1020 Snow Patrol concert and the 'thin' one is with my nephew, Harry after a gym session.
Before and after pics.
And in the spirit of the thread I was 15st 2lbs and got down to 12st 2lbs.
Currently 13st 0lbs after a bit of indulgence but will have it back to normal by end of Jan.
PC. Long time no see! Looking in fine shape fella
Cheers buddy!
Was 5'10" and 97Kg (lots). Have been down to 74kgs, this morning I weighed in at 80kgs.
I've promised myself a 29er if I can get down to sub 75kgs.
I'd [i]really[/i] like to do Kielder on a FS29er this year so, July deadline.
Lets go!
if you're on twitter #flabloss and i'm @_rocketdog_ had quite a few people following it for motivation. i've lost 2st in 4 months and i lost 1/2lb over xmas 8)
Great efforts Joe, not sure your physique is ready for the latex sleeve less T shirt yet though. 😀
I will be wearing lycra in front of work colleagues in may so game on.
I've just got in the bath and braved the scales. Crikey. Wish I hadn't now. Might be joining this thread...
I will partake as to working far too hard last year and little biking I am now a fat xxxx. I will weigh in over the weekend and start Monday probably looking at dropping 2 stone probably by end of March osh for hols in May.
I'm in! 5 11 and currently around 97kg (not exact)
Want to be sub Sub 90kg by May and more determined than ever.
I just made a cheesecake for a lunch at a mates tomorrow and haven't even tasted any of it!
Can I join?..... just weighed myself this morning after realising that trouser sizes are going up even though I have bought 'stretchy waistbands! - now 93.5kg (14.7stone) and 6ft.....would love to drop below 85kgs but will aim for 87.5 first.
Bike prepped for my first commute tomorrow (a whole 3 miles!)......
A pressie of a 29er sounds lovely - great idea!
Good luck chaps and chapesses!
Sat here eating left over new year food, drinking left over new year beer... I [i]really[/i] need this 🙂
Great efforts Joe, not sure your physique is ready for the latex sleeve less T shirt yet though.
Thanks 🙂
Pre Christmas weight: 83kg
Post NYE weigh in: 87.7kg
Goal weight: 80kg
I'm in - 5'10", 13 stone, want to be 12 by 25th April....
Go on then...
18st 10lb this morning, and 45" round the tummy.
No specific target 🙂
We need some sort of stw graph.
How do we do that on a forum?
I'm in, 16st 2lb today will be very happy if i can get below 14st
fat blokes united.. 5'10'' and 105kg looking to lose enough so i can run a fell race in august..
If we do a graph we have to remember its not a contest. A simple excel spreadsheet graph or two posted once a week.
If we do it how do we want to graph it as a percentage against start weight, some fatties like me will lose more than those just wanting t shave say half a stone. Do we just line everyone up an hopefully all the lines point down instead of up as we start to lose weight?
Some form of online excel file, is that doable?
I'm 6'5"
16st 11 yesterday. I did start out over 18st, and was down to 16st 3 before Christmas.
I'm hoping to get below 15st 7
Pie chart.
You'll have to stop yourselves from eating it though!
Bunch of lightweights, suffice to say I'm not revealing my weight but I'm certainly the heaviest of all those signed up so far.
Count me in. Plan is to shed 5stone this year in prep for LEJOG in 2014
bigG......it is achievable mate, when i have reached my goal hopefully by march 1st i will have lost 6 stone.
I'm in, will weigh myself tomorrow morning, but if guess the wring side if 14st. Would like to dip under 13 before t shirt season is upon us.
Scarily, my racing weight used to be 11st 4lb...
I'm in too, 5ft 8 and 16st 12lb this morning, was down to 15st 7 after Idaving up to last xmas but appear to have put all my weight back on again...
If the graph in the above link is ok I can do that unless someone else really wants to volunteer?
Im in too. 1st weigh in today has not pleased me @ 208lbs
🙁
Well as suspected, it's 14st dead. I'm 6ft tall and would like to drop to sub 13st. No scientific reason why, but I know there's a couple of pairs of jeans and a hugo boss suit that'd fit a lot better if I did!
put on 4kg in 4 weeks. Whatevers' going.... I'm in
Im in, 15st12, promised myself i would get back to 12.04 in July! 😐
Think I'd better join.
The bathroom scales are (perhaps fortunately) out of order, but last doctor's weigh in was around the 11 stone mark, which sucked.
Also, while getting (begrudgingly - see CBA thread) dressed up in NYE party finest I couldn't help but notice that the ensemble was significantly snugger than I remembered it to be 😳
I've put on 2kg over Christmas, so now up to 83kg at 5'10". I've got an Ironman in October, so aiming to get down to a race weight around 75kg.
I'm in with the weight loss program! Kickstarting it this month with an alcohol-free January and hopefully a whole raft of swimming/running/cycling 🙂
I'm back on the Horizon plan after 2 weeks of Xmas indulgence, possibly even 3 weeks i think lol. It's amazing how quickly time passes when you're eating whatever you like every single day.
So today i'm on a 600cal max day... I'm tempted to carry it on tomorrow as well as i've normally started on a Mon or at the very latest a Tues.
600 calories?? Thats just one main meal! I've lost 2st with a max of 1600 calories a day.
Have a look on my profile fella, it's a long old thread based upon BBC1's Horizon programme.
In
94.5kg, might be up a smidge over christmas but not much, giving up sugar and starch for January (CBA with the full on iDave/4HB diet), if the result is under 90kg I'll stick with it, if it's not then I'll make it a bit more serious and cut out dairy etc.
Targeting 78kg, as that was my 'raceing weight' for sailing when I was 16, I suspect for cycling the weight would be lower, but I'd rather avoid the trainspotting look. That and 80kg would mean I'd have lost the weight of my Pitch!
Never thought about it like that, i've lost the weight of a mid range xc bike 🙂 just a pair of DH forks to go
I'm aiming to lose 2.5 stone by MAY for charity, feel free to have a look at my blog or if you're a gentleman and would like to donate you can do so [url= http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=losingpoundsforleah ]HERE[/url] 😆
I am expecting to lose around 2 stone over 8 weeks from mid March. I'm starting from a higher weight than most though. 6ft2 and 16 1/2 stone.
No diet plan. Going on tour and based on previous experience I'll lose something around 3lb per week.
Riding for 5 or 6 hours a day, eating less cheese and chocolate, otherwise eating as much as I want. Drinking either plain water or diet drinks.
Weighed myself yesterday not good - 5ft 10in. and 194lbs would like to loose 26 lbs, but realistically 16 would be nice.
So new regime, smaller portions, no late meals,no chocolate/cakes, and cut right back on the booze - get back into swimming 3 times a week, kettlebell training and hitting the hills every week,.
Feeling like a bit of a charlatan but put on 9 pounds over christmas :$
6'2" and 12st 9 now.
Should be back to 12st by the end of Jan though with cutting out the booze and getting a turbo trainer.
The new trails at Phillips park are pretty much just hill reps with a bit of fun thrown in too 😀
Big breath.....
Hi, my name is Smudger and I'm a bit of a Porker.
There, said it! Currently 5'9" and 16st 4lb. Ideal weight for my height is 12 7. Not sure if I can get that low but aiming for 14st and fitness!
i guess i should be in as well.
13st2 a few days before xmas, nearly 2 weeks of indulgence and up a bit now.
just entered a tri, mid april, so want to get down to ... deep breath... 11.5st.
but to put that in perspective, about 3 years ago at this time i tipped the scales at 16st10. lowest i've gotten down to since is 12st5 but always seem to burn out end august, drink too much and slack off the diet, and put on at least a stone by xmas. this year though i caught the autumn slump and am starting from a much better point, xmas week excepted, plus i've never had an early year goal like the tri.
STW Fat Club 2013 is open for business.
I've checked and it should be accessible/editable to anyone, if anyone want's to export it to excel and make some pretty graphs knock yourself out.

Can't use that - I only work in old money!
Done, thank you. I assume column B is height?
Can't use that - I only work in old money!
1kg = 2.2lb
14lb = 1stone
2.54cm = 1 inch (6ft is 1.83m)
I considdered using old money but that seemed like a faff.
Done, thank you. I assume column B is height?
That's what it says 🙂
It's user editable and anyone cans ee it, so if a colum heading for 'bank details' appears then ignore it!
Guess I'd better get a new battery for the scales then.
I suspect that getting on them is going to smart a bit 😐
Great, can I join?
180cm
74kg post Christmas and some time off, want to get back down to 70.5kg.
That's what it says
That's what it says [i]now[/i] 😀
Please can I join?

Would like to get to 85kg by end of Feb.
Thank you!
I'm in / on .
118 kgs/ 1.9m
Its all gotta go !
I'm in!
5' 10 and 14st 13lbs
Or 178cm and 94.8kg
I've just got the Myfitnesspal App and I'm shocked at how many calories I was previously ingesting... The only reason I'm not heavier is that I exercise lots...
Smaller portions for me and less booze will be the way forward and 12st 7lbs (79.4kg) is the goal.
It's always been my aim to be te fittest I've ever been at 40. 56 weeks to go...
Jeeeez i'm peckish !!!
26 miles today.
Eaten no snackycakes. Drunk no booze.
Bored, hungry and snapped a spoke so am facing a 26 mile road ride on a 160mm FS weapon....
I'm in... Please!
6ft 1 and 14 stone 3; target is 13 stone
Tonight I have been experimenting with a new and novel food, it's called "salad".
Is that the decorative stuff served next to burgers?
Never knew it was edible.
a few tips, cos i am a expert now.
to burn fat, eat fat.
salad is a complete waste of time, eat raw veg.
protein breakfast for the win......learn to like eggs in any guise.
😀
Please Mr. spoon what are columns E,F,G & H for?
Me too.
6'5" - 128kgs.
Look fellow fattys, crash dieting is a waste of time. It won't stay off, yes keep an eye on calories but also food types just as important. Brown rice not White might appear higher in calories at first but White rice converts into a peak of blood sugar and then a crash leaving you feeling hungry 30 mins later.
Green tea is my super diet secret I pass on to you. Definatly do not use fat burners or fad crash diets. Exercise using weights and cv and loose it slowly or it will just blob right back on again.
Also steroids work but mess your liver and heart up!
14 stone - aiming for 10 1/2 stone
One more here!
6'1" & 16.5 on the 1st of Jan. Looking to get back to 13.5 by April.
6FT 4" here and 16st 3 ,would like to get under 15st .Even though in my 30s I was timetrialling at 13st 6
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
Looks like we need a plan "B" if that happens half way through!
What is considered a good healthy breakfast that contributes to weight loss? My perception of healthy is 3 weetabix with chopped banana in lieu of sugar and semi skimmed milk, would I be better off with porridge?
Bacon (or smoked salmon) and eggs rather than processed crap out of a packet.
Special K surely?
The Red Berries edition is probably extra healthy aswell.
Alpen for me, love the stuff could live off it, but beer and bacon and egg on toast is my downfall. I will probably get sick of Alpen though so I will supplement it with scrambled egg on brown toast. May even throw in some smoked salmon but that's a bit decadent for me!
I weighed out 40gr of cereal yesterday, that's about the recommended portion... you'll be astounded how little 40gr is !!! i could fit it on 3 spoonfulls.
