[Closed] Chubbly Clubbly 2019

yes plewase

Of course! I forgot you can PM on the forum now - how far we've come! If you're going to PM me to sign up, do please include your email address.

yep.... had a year off and boy it shows

I'll be back...

you should still have all my details from last year.

Cheers Rob

In like Flynn.

As long as I don't go too overboard this holiday period, I should be starting 5lbs less than the last version whatevernumberwereonnow starting weight.

Assume previous chubbster's details are already with you? Or you need an email as well?

...and thanks for doing it again, Rob.

I will need to - thanks. 🙂

You know what? I think I'm in. I need some kind of motivation. I'll sort it later, I'm off to my pit. Cheers for doing this Rob.

I’ve haven’t read any previous years threads, what’s the plan?
I heading toward fat knacker status and might need some help!

I’m in again - same details, ta.

Gluttony for punishment

Yes pls

I’m still the same

Same details as last year, hopefully I'll stay on board for more than the first quarter this time...

Assume previous chubbster’s details are already with you? Or you need an email as well?

I've binned the lot 🙂 Anyone who was in previously and wants in agen, please PM with email addy or email with user name.

I’ve haven’t read any previous years threads, what’s the plan?

Plan?? Shit! There's supposed to be a plan??
I'll type out some witterings when I'm in the mood. Essentially it's an online log of your weight which you update weekly and there will be pretty charts and stats to help you monitor your progress.

It'll be dead simple to use.

This works kind of like a support group - there's no diet plan, everyone does their own thing and gets to brag about how well their doing, but also how they're *really* missing cake.

I'm in. PM on way.

In again. PM sent. Only took me a year to lose ~ 5kg or thereabouts, so a veritable success I say. However there is an open tub of celebrations in front of me...

There's a half eaten curry in front of me - the rest of it's in my tummy! 🤗 🤗

Been out for a couple of years, so should probably sign up again!

I'm in, need to lose some weight and get some training in for June for a big ride over a couple of days

Sign me up.
Love riding. Usually get out twice a week but losing some timber would be a massive help. Self control was a thing my former self had so a bit of peer pressure may be just the ticket.
Thanks for sorting and good luck to all!

I’ve binned the lot 🙂 Anyone who was in previously and wants in agen, please PM with email addy or email with user name.

Emailed.

p.s quoting is erm....user-friendly.

I'm in,need to do something to help my wonky knees.

PM sent please count me in

I'm game, pm sent. Looking forward to the motivation/peer pressure/words of encouragement to get back out on the bikes again, it's been 11 months and it shows!

Thanks for all your efforts Rob, looking forward to the next step.

2019 is the year of the bike for me. And weight loss so im in. Will pm you Rob many thanks

In.

30 in so far and not one of them is Binners! He'll find his way here eventually - it is his density 🤗🤗

So exciting!!

The input sheet is done and anyone who’s in should have an email with links and wittering and stuff.
Charts to come…

Anyone else who wishes to join us – just send me an email with your username or PM me with your email address.

Are you exited?? Rob is excited!! Doesn’t take much, mind.

Edit:
@Wally & Shooterman:

The email bounced, btinternet thinks it’s spam. Think you might need to add me as a contact.

4th Jan? Not sure I can eat all this chocolate before then.

Thanks for doing this again Rob, I didn't do well last year but it helped keep me honest, no gains so hopefully I will make my target this year.

What and how does this work?

It's a bit like this:

Email me with your username, or PM with email address, I'll send you the link. There'll be a weekly reminder email on Fridays to do your updates

What and how does this work?

You send Rob naked pictures. He then guesstimates what you weigh, and fills the spreadsheet in.

At least that's what he has me doing.

Unerringly accurate as it goes.

Hi Rob, could I sign up please? Pm sent

Jeez - not far shy of nineteen stone! Still, I have resumed C25K, so it's not all bad news. 🙂

Wally here Rob, email sent. No idea why "I bounced back" the sense of irony was not lost.

Just realised I put on 10lbs in the last 2-3weeks.

Quite impressive.

You’re not alone Jamie. I think half of that is from an enlarged liver.

Yikes! That wasn't the first weigh in I expected!

Oh well, more to start with, more to lose...

Good luck everybody, here we go!

Hi Rob
Could I join too please
I've sent a pm .
(I think I have. First one so I hope I've done it right)

Well it worked last time... Managed to stick with it for the entire time and lose near enough my target weight.

This year has been terrible for my fitness, weight, mental well being etc. for one reason or another. I've barely ridden a bike by my standards! I went into the Christmas period already heavier than I was last time we started the Chub Club, I've not indulged too much but I've also not weighed myself. Was close to 14st recently when I want to be sub 12!

So yeah... Add me in!

Not declaring officially yet as still have a w/e away before starting properly....... but 14.10 this am. Got under 14 early last year (or was it 2017) and aiming for about 13 1/2 or less by mid year (turn 50 in May so there's a target) and might reward myself with a new bike if I do.

I'll need an updated nude pic for the file, please.

Wear the Barney Rubble mask for this one xx

Never done this before, so count me in!

I’ll have another go this year. Got a couple of injuries last year, hoping for better this year.

Hi Rob, I PM’d you my details on the 21st but haven’t received an email.

I've re-emailed all my details Rob - Cheers for picking up the mantle yet again

Does the PM system still work? When I click on Rob's profile it redirects to "Freebird" who doesn't have an e-mail address.

how do you get in on this? ive already pmd

Yo! Anyone who is a-waiting, I send out the details in batches so I don't have to do too much admin. Off work today, so I'll do the next lot tomorrow.

Anyone who's emailed, or PMd I should have your details and you'll hear from me tomorrow.

Is there ritual humiliation for failing to achieve? I need the threat of that to get going!

PM sent, a terrible showing last year saw an initial loss turn into a loss of motivation and a net weight gain of just over a stone!

With baby no2 on the way in March this isn't going to be an easy year, but I've booked in a couple of big sportives (away days mountain biking is off the cards for the foreseeable) to keep a goal in sight and hopefully stop me straying too far from the path of light.

PM about to be sent, I need in. Over a stone on last year due to injury and general life crap.

HI,

Just Pm'd, need all the help i can get. Weighed myself last night and it's a new record for me. No wonder getting up the stairs is such a job at the minute!

Has anyone used Weight watchers, just the app not the meetings to help guide them? Or is my fitness pal and some motivation good enough?

I excercise a reasonable amount (16 miles a day bike commute plus a couple of strength training session a week) but I also more than make up for this with food and beer so I am on the very heavy side, so I need something that helps me moderate but won't make me hate living, or just delete the app.

I'll give Rob a shout too as this may help me learn some lessons from the wise!

I'm in PM on the way!

You lot are going to take the piss.

I weigh 12stone but i reckon thats 1.5 on my belly and half a stone on what is shaping into a pretty good rack.

You lot are going to take the piss.

That's not what this group is for, I'm considerably heavier than you and at 5'10" way over where I should be, so everyone has their own version of what they need to do!

I'm in too if it's not too late. PM sent.

I'm in. Was gonna join in last year but didn't & am nearly 2 stone worse off than then 🙁

PM sent

I'll be in again, I did terribly last year - I don't think I entered anything in the spreadsheet, but really enjoyed Rob's weekly email! 🙂

I'm a few stone up again, so need to get back some much needed motivation.

As if being referred to recently as "my little round husband" wasn't a subtle enough hint....

I'm back in again after last year's complete failure to lost any weight. London Marathon is in 16 weeks so my stretch (HAHA) goal is 0.5kg a week and get down to 76ish for the race.

I've already had two biscuits this afternoon 🙁

Everyone who has messaged me should now be included - just sent out an email to approx 30 peeps. If you haven't had one yet get in touch.

70 of us in ATM. I'm poorly bad & off work, so this might be the ideal time to get round to doing the fancy stuff while I convalesce.

If anyone has any ideas about the what they'd like to see in the dashboard e.g. being able to compare against another chubbly then let me know.
Of course I'll either pretend it was my idea and patent it straight away, make huge bank, go and live on a desert island and feast on twinkies washed down with coke (& hookers, natch) or totally ignore your stoopid suggestion - IT'S MY FAT CLUB I'LL DO WHAT THE **** I WANT!!!!

Love from Rob xx

P.S. @Jamie I think you input your weight worng dear. Or you ate substantially more over Chrimbo than you realise.

Hi, I haven't received any emails.

That'd be some seriously impressive competition eating!

Oh, and thanks for the email, I'm in, in.

P.S. @Jamie I think you input your weight worng dear. Or you ate substantially more over Chrimbo than you realise.

No idea what has happened there. Looks like someone has sausage fingers and entered errant data into my box.

Message sent, I broke 100kg for the first time last week. Want to get back down to 90kg which is tough with a sedentary job, young kids and a wife who buys cupboards full of 'treats'.

First weigh-in day today. I for one am looking forward quite happily to being a bit hungry over the next week instead of too full, like I have been for the past fortnight 🙂

In your email you said "get to it". I'm assuming the "it" is the giant sharing mince pie I couldn't walk past in Aldi because it was reduced and I'm weak? If so, done!

You might want to reconsider your game-plan 😀

no email for me...

Email received, rather large number entered and a realistic target set (no it's not an even higher number).

Thanks for organising this Rob. Appreciated.

Have resent to you Andy. Poss. it's in your spam fodler?

Mmmmm.... spam 🤢🤢

Some ambitious targets there to say the least. I guess those of you with average +1kg loss per week are going for the dysentery diet?

That'll be nobody then! All of the weekly targets so far over 1 are for those measuring in lbs, and none of them are over 2.2 lbs.

yup in the spam. cheers chap 🙂

Er, yeh, good point

weighed in.... didn't look pretty.... looking at 0.8 kg per week so could be ambitious.... we'll see.

Want to drop a load before first baby arrives in June (currently rocking out at 132.9kg so shouldn't be too much to ask for.

Good luck one and all.

Uhm, could you not have had a couple more... there was acouple left in my local and i may not have been able to refuse.

Time to crack on this year, been promising to get back to race weight for a couple of years. Can i play still?!
