Just dipped below the 90kg marker today. 89.8kg. Target is 87kg then try to stick at that weight.
Not doing to bad considering i hit 15st 12lbs last august thanks to the medication making me want to eat.
Just need to get out on the bike now.
Got below the 80kg marker today and haven't been able to get out on the bike at all this week (due to injury) but have managed to keep up the diet and increased my daily water intake to over 2 litres a day which seems to have made quite a difference (i have drunk 1.5 litres a day for years). Lets hope it continues!
Must admit I'm a little concerned about the lack of updates but I'll keep emailing in. It does seem to motivate me pretty well which helps a lot in my case.
so, is it worth sending in today's numbers?
I have not sent nothing in for a week or 2. It had a good run and thanks to Si for sorting it out this year.
I'm still sending in my numbers, but wonder if I'm one of the very few still doing it.
Si, if this has become a burden to you I'm sure I could find some time to help out.

I stopped becase 18bikes stopped sending out updates, however I have not lost anything in 2 weeks, lucky though I have not put anything on either. I will be hitting it hard this week, and I'm still updating my blog.
I'm still in and keen to see the fc continue so happy to help out as well if 18bikes is a bit too busy.
Maybe we should have a roll call of who's still in and make a plan so we can continue? I agree with other posts that the weekly weigh in is great motivation.
Just 1lb down for me this week, its been windy so more time kitesurfing than cycling. Had alovey ride last night though, first time in shorts this year.
I'm still in. (though I missed sending the email this morning as I was out the door very early)
No loss this week for me, which if I'm honest is a bit of a kick in the nads as I have been super active in the last week including 2 long rides & cut out all crisps, choc's etc and substituted fruit 🙁
im still in, weight goes up and down like a yo-yo, but its giving me something to focus on. Still getting nearer to my goal weight week by week.
yo, email the info@18bikes.co.uk address if you can take this off my hands, sorry all!!
to be honest - not many regulars, made it a little daft anyhow - maybe someone's willing to nag a little more??
Si, I emailed you, but not had anything back?
Offer still stands to pick up the admin,if you can rummage and provide a prize occasionaly?

I'm still sending in everyweek as well, Lost a stone this year but nothing for 6 weeks... need to up the anti! 🙂
I've been sending in since the start and will continue to do so, as I've said earlier it gives me more motivation and seems to help me a lot. Things are even still going well and have very nearly lost 2 stone, only another 1 to go to reach target weight. I'll be emailing in tomorrow as I'll have no t'internet access from tomorrow morning onwards as I'll be in Wales riding my bike, woo hoo! Even managing to find some extra clothes that fit within the wardrobe!
Seriously upping the water intake each day seems to have a very positive effect for me, and also eating loads more fruit than I used to and cutting out even more $hite that used to get nibbled on through the day.
For those that are still emailing in, hang in there and keep making small adjustments, every little helps to create those good habits.
I stopped as there was no update, I keep mulling in my head how to automate this for those that want it and make it slick.
Will ponder that......
Hav'nt emailed in this week as does'nt seem much point. Still in there though, loads of effort last wweek and 3lb down to get to 14st1. Very pleased. Just another 6lb and I'll be 3st down.
Yup, lost another 2.3kg last week. I'm now at 170.7 don from 183.6kg since the beg of feb as i started a motnh late. Have stoped trying to email 18bikes. I even offered to take over from them, but they said no and ill do it themselves. it's a shame really.
Lost another two pounds last week, and also offered to take over the admin from 18bikes, but I didn't even get a response..
I'll keep on posting up when I get a chance, I can even offer a prize for the biggest loser next week. A homemade chocolate cake made by my own fair hands. Given the reaction from the Mrs each time I make one I get the impression it's rather good. (please note this prize is collect only)

Well, i might set up a new email address so everyone can then email it to me. If you send your orignal weight and your current weight I can that start doing it weekly. I'll always have enough time. If we want we can always chip in £10 each then who ever is the biggest loser can still get a nice prize at the end.
I'm down a stone now but stopped sending weights in when the emails stopped.
I started at 15st 3lb in Dec; this week was 14st 2 1/2 lb. Going for sub-14 by the end of May, should be doable methinks.
ian, i did think i'd emailed since for you to ake over, more than happy with that?
(that's me at 18 bikes btw)
Nope didn't recieve anything, unless it's ended up in the spam or junk mail. Will happily take it over. I'll sort it out tomorrow and email you.
I would be up for continuing - not lost anything in the last few weeks... momentum stalled (and waaaay too much beer). Hopefully the longer evenings can act as a stimulus though 🙂
I would be up for it continuing, when it was on in 2009 there were results weekly and a graph and I think that helped with the banter and general motivation
Let us know what/when the change of keeper is then maybe a relaunch is needed?
Must admit I failed to email in this week, had a weekend away. Lost 2 stone so far this year and hoping to keep going. got to get back on the bandwagon after a weekend of beer and food!
I'm still in and hoping it continues!
Ian P - well done on volunteering for taking over (+ others)... I have been a bit slack over the last few weeks due to work pressure etc. but still want to continue (been trying not to let the weight creep back up).
Count me in if you go on with this. Good on you for sticking with your weight loss efforts too.
I am still hoping to do the Dyfi this year (work permitting) although no where near my target weight for it (no where near racing snake levels of body fat - at least I'll be warm!)
OK Fat Club is back on, make sure you weigh yourself, the email will be sent in teh next couple of days
Good work ianpinder. Thanks for taking this on. Do we still need to send weights to 18bikes tomorrow or wait until you've got an email address set up?
Hold on to the weights but you will be asked to send them in
How's everyone done this week? I've knuckled down after my slight gain the week before and dropped into the 13st range. If I can get off 2lb this coming week I'll hit a major milestone so pretty motivated - also the sunny riding of the last week has really helped encourage me to do the miles.
Exactly the same weight now for a month despite eating depressingly healthy and hitting the gym 3 times a week. I'm going to pretend i'm gaining muscle 🙂
Same this week but in all honesty I ate too much and haven't done enough exercise so only got myself to blame. The body is changing shape though and finding clothes that fit me again just need to get some more weight off.
Right guys back on track this week, as the email say please send all wieghts to stwfatclub2010 at hotmail.co.uk
Fatelvis I don't have your correct email
Thegreatape I also don't have your correct email

Happy days, major milestone passed today!
2 or 3 weeks later than planned, due entirely to being weak and falling back into drinking too much, I got my @rse back into gear and finally cleared the 13st10/11 level I was stuck at. Now 13st7 and more than that over 3st down since startting. : ))
Think I'll get my exmoor explorer entry in today to celebrate!
Thats wicked, I'm just over two stone down, but the last 5 weeks have been a write off for me. hopefully will start concentrating on it more now that I am running it.
...is there anybody out there (or has everyone been lured to the diamond promise of idaves diet)?
I'm still plodding away, and hit the major milestone weight of 12st9lb this morning- 4st loss since beginning in the new year and now considerably lighter than I've been my entire adult life. Very stoked. Aiming to be 12 1/2 by exmoor explorer and overall from today looking to drop just one more stone but its getting harder not easier.
Hope others are still getting inspiration from the stw fat club 2010.
