70 started, 34 made it to the end. That’s 48%, and we know how good it feels to be a 48 percenter 😉
Total weight loss across the group of 34 was 566lbs, that’s an average of 16.6lbs/person. As a group that was 8% of bodyweight, which is pretty good.
Special mentions to our biggest losers – Grenosteve lost 46lbs which is over 3 stone and 18% of bodyweight. And FB-ATB was the highest % loser at 19% which given he wasn’t particularly heavy to start with was phenomenal. And also mentions to Woody21, Dantsw19, Lunge, and IHN all of who exceeded the targets they set for themselves in January.
Although we’re all winners in my eyes. And losers.

I’d like to thank my fellow chub clubbers and family for all their love and support (“love you guys!”), the light and love of the Lord Jesus Christ, and, most importantly, Air China for their poorly cooked seafood
IHN Some of us are – email Jon V if you missed the invite. You cant have much more to loose at 82kg! 😉
I’ve had a crap 2 weeks. Was 3 lbs up last weekend, had a very shit week at work and got obsessed with a new game on the PS4, fell back to old habits of comfort eating and not riding much.
Sorted my head out and gave myself a talking too, been hard at it this week and just 1 lbs up today. Still annoyed as I think that’s my first increase all year.
Yeah, I’m in the ongoing club, just wondering if we were keeping this thread going to support it.
My aim is to stay at 82kg now I’m there(ish), rather than actually loose any more. Having done my body fat this morning for the first time this morning I wouldn’t mind getting that a bit lower, dunno how I do that though.
I need all the motivation I can get, so I’m up for still using the forum.
When my bro went from being “normal size” down to XC racer weight, he was on a super controlled diet and doing LOTS of interval training on the turbo. He’s always warning me that the last stone or so is a bastard to get rid of. Think he got near 160lbs before putting some back on because he was loosing power.
yep, busy morning at work (someone resigned) so haven’t had chance to send out the reminder email yet. will do so later for those that requested to continue for another 3mo
Hands up al those that hit the cakes and biscuits after the 30th??
Up 3 lbs but was expecting that with a weekend away and going back to having toast for breakfast.
Looks like back to reduced rations for a bit. Especially with a restaurant visit next week where the food is irresistible and the portions large!
Soooo…. CC2017 #2 (JV’s revenge) ends on Friday. I for one am not where I want to be weight-wise and I know he can’t be buggered to run it any more so I’m picking up the baton and launching (¡¡to massive fanfare!!) CC2017 #3.
Anyone else who wants to play need just email me (in profile) and you’ll be bestowed with a link to an online spreadsheet – use it wisely, however as this time around admin tasks will not be tolerated – it’s self-service.
On the “Weight_Tracker” tab add your name, start & target weights to the appropriate columns and come back every 2 weeks to update.
I popped a wee chart on the “Progress_Chart” tab so you can get a nice measure of your success. Obvs. you’ll need a few data points in there for it to start looking like anything.
You’ll get an email reminder to update every fortnight – possibly containing glib witticisms, motivational quotes and the odd cat meme.
As I’m not as draconian as JV you can use whatever measuring system you like; kilos, troy ounces or engrams – I care not. I, myself, shall be using avoirdupois pounds as it feels like I’m achieving more by losing 1 pound in a week than 18 billion angstroms – or whatever the post-Brexit conversion rate is.
I have stuck with JV’s methodology of a weigh-in every 2 weeks as that worked quite well for me. If enough peeps want to do it every week then I *could* switchy it all around, but it’d take a bit of convincing.
The target loss per fortnight is magically calculated for you using the power of arithmetic (and is reasonably accurate). This and any other columns with red headers can be adjusted however you want. Currently columns E-L are hidden, but contain the fortnightly adjusted targets based on the aforementioned target loss. If you are going to change these please do so only if you’ve got a clue what you’re doing – and only for your own data! To do so for some else’s would be an act of high treason & wanton bellendery.
I think that’s about it. I might do a bit of work to include more graphics, such as % to target, top 5 losers – that sort of thing. If anyone has any suggestions then feel free – they will all be carefully considered prior to being rejected
Starting weights to be logged this coming Friday 29th Sept (or thereabouts), and this runs up to 22nd Dec. Just in time to celebrate your good work by undoing it all over Christmas.
who said that? Someone said something but i can’t see anyone? Are you there, caller?
Not for me to say, it’s Rob’s gig now but we had people who were virtually see through, there was so little to them through to others who had their own gravitational fields 😉 (and who did bloody well too!)
yeah that’s the thing, I kinda feel like I’ve always had the last few pounds! I’ve said to myself so many times ok now yu’ll shift it and after a few weeks of super healthy eating I slip back into the whole “I eat what I want at weekends” thing, which if doing Friday evening to sunday nights is quite a large chunk of the week.
