Friday, I'm putting it together, that's what works for me doing it. As i see it, it's a week apart, what's it matter? first weigh in is as soon you get it to me....
First email sent. Now for the tricky bit 😕
I'm in. 118kg at the post Christmas weigh in yesterday morning. Yikes. Aiming to get down to 95kg by June, approx. 1kg a week. Email sent.
If you want the Monday weigh in, still do it!
Weigh Friday, send in to 18bikes.
Weigh Monday, stare at the scales for a bit saying motivational things (WTF! How! Oh Sh1t!) and be motivated for the week ahead (and possibly a little depressed/annoyed).
Weigh Friday and send in, and remember last Mondays difference and maybe go easy on the weekend?
Getting quite jealous of the Wii fits around the place at the moment though...
First email sent. Now for the tricky bit
same here.
All the sweets i got for xmas are going to work tomorrow. let the others pig out on turkish delight and Allsorts.
Finished the Xmas Chocolate last night. Weighed in this morning. I got a lot of work to get back from the Vegas Elvis brink...
Email sent too. 88.5kg...
Five of those came on in the month of December alone! I'd love to think I could realistically target 75kg for 2010 (I'm 5'11"), but realistically I'd settle on 80kg...
A baby we have due in four weeks will either help or hinder - I suspect the latter.
you can put me down for some of this too.
could do with losing 1&1/2 stone.have been losing some,but it's been slow hard work.
motivation's now starting to wane 🙁
email in profile
ok, first email sent, hopefully everyone's got that. If you're late to the party - email fatclub@18bikes.co.uk

First weigh in for me was 126.5kg IIRC... which is just plain scary (though not near my worst, so that is fine!)
I am having trouble deciding on a target and time frame for it - I think I tend to get a bit pissed off when I am not making suitable progress towards achieving it, give up and go to the pub!
That said, I do want to be in shape for the summer... when I was in shape last time around I was down to 113kg, I do a more manual job now though so will have added a bit of muscle weight I would imagine.
115kg by June... sound reasonable???
Problem I have is that I don't eat that much anyway (I have kept food diaries online that tell me I should be dropping a kg a week, and yes EVERYTHING goes into it) so I am at a bit of a loss. Throw in exercise and the weight falls off, but given that I am too knackered in the evenings (after lugging heavy things around all day) it can be tricky.
Is it possible that I am eating too little and my body is kind of holding onto reserves? Probably eating around 2200 cal a day, doing fairly manual work (lifting and carrying 30kg to 70kg lumps of iron around the place is fairly normal, for probably 2 - 3 hours of each day). Any thoughts?
My guess would be that 2200 cals is too little given your current weight. Don't forget, it takes a lot of energy to carry that around. Have a look at the timing of your food rather than just the volume. Little and often is the key.
sent you mail, i think. not sure if things being sent properly
any chance you can confirm for me please
Rob S - 124.5kg, so a little better there.
Imho it's eating that's the key - easier to not eat the calories in the first place. Most of us are fairly active/riding etc I'd've thought, more exercise will help, providing you don't then eat those calories back up! (or more!) Little and often, I'd agree- although having to learn that myself.
The "go to the pub" thing - serious weight loss is a constant, you can easily undo a weeks work in a night, so keeping right on top of it is best. Difficult mind.
Now sent, cheers.
Just a little tip. From doing this previously a food diary is a pretty handy thing to have. I have just started using [url= http://www.myfitnesspal.com ]My Fitness Pal[/url] as a means to track what i eat. The best thing about it, well for all of us Iphone users is that there is a free app available[url= http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/calorie-counter-diet-tracker-by/id341232718?mt=8 ] here, [/url]which allows you to add stuff while out and about and it all syncs to the website, and vice versa.
Holy crap!!! Just stepped on the scales, I am the biggest I have ever been!! 89kg considering I'm only 5'6" that means I need to shift some serious lard!
70kg is target to start with but would dearly love to get back to fighting weight of 63kg
Got some work to do me thinks
iam the resurrection?? 5'11amd 85 kg, sounds about right..
email sent 90 kg at 5'5. Want to be 75..

I'm in too Si - will drop you an email...
have weighed in at 107.5 kg (at 1.90m/6'3") so have some work to do... aiming for a BMI nearer 23 (or a BMI prime nearer 1)
Cheers,
Mark
18Bikes - please can I join tooo? I'll email over my username and weight to your email addy shortly.
In the mean time for all to see :o(
6foot 4inches
101.7kgs
42.5inches around my spare tyre
Dan
Just sent mine in 97.8 kgs. Not as bad as I thought so heres hoping!!
Dave
just sent mine.
just under 6ft and just over 15st (96kg) although I suspect our scales underweigh a bit.
Initial target would be 10% = 10kg give or take.
would be interesting to find out from the hundred or so people in the club what the average rider height and weight are when we're all finished
well, once everyone gets their weights in, i can publish an average each week....
did i need to send my height as well? i'm 6'1 BTW (92.9kg)
I didn't send my height, just my username and weight (80kg, and I'm 6').
I'm not really aiming to lose much, but I'd like to get rid of the Christmas weight at the same time as getting fitter and this seems a nice way of getting some inspiration!
email sent, hope I'm still in time?
YGM
181cm (although much taller than a lot of people who claim to be 6ft)
89.6kg (a lightweight by fatclubing standards)
27.3 BMI
Aiming for 75kg (22.9 BMI) in 3 months time, which should allow me to either have another op on my knee without looking like Jabba the Hutt after the inevitable post op weight gain, or put the weight back on again as lean muscle and get back to my previous build.
just mailed in my stats so here comes the shaming.
Been put on slimming world by misses too so here's to a slimmer fitter valleydady 😀
Too late to join in? Just weighed myself out of curiosity and realised I'm 5'10" and 14 stone 1 lb... Should really be about 12 stone.
(or in Metric - 177.5cm, just under 90kg...)
Sent email yesterday...hope I made the cut..
count me in too if not too late, i;ve eaten too much turkey 🙂
emailed info
right, people so far have made it to join, even if late- I'm not taking any more, or faffing with those who registered interest, then missed emailing weights.
2nd weigh in Friday eve, IN KG PLEASE!
Cheers,
Si
Just had the worlds biggest take away curry, guess my weight won't be down tommorrow then 😳
Wait till you get into the new house and start on the pizzas round the corner 🙄
Snow day with a box of Roses yesterday and my darling wife bringing home a bag of doughnuts might not help me... still, always next week, the more there is the quicker it goes yea?
Boxes of roses and pizzas and curries - no wander you're all in the fat club!
Can I join????

You managed 3 days? I thought my willpower was bad.
Trekster - yep it's going to be a problem for sure... 🙂
Other then the curry we've been good and a little exercise proof will be the weigh in.
