I've set a target of 20 weeks to lose 20lbs, but if I can do that over 12 weeks it'll be even better!! ๐Ÿ˜€

Chris, do previous members still have to email you the new targets? If so, and you are reading this, put me in as 164lbs current and 146lbs target :mrgreen:

Yeh I think I may count as one of the ones aiming high with a target loss of 3 stone in 12 weeks. It was supposed to be 3 stone in 52 weeks when the wife and I planned it so seeing as this came up the same day, I thought 'what the heck'. I don't expect to get anywhere close.

I'm in - thanks for organising! 13st 7 would be nice - if I get there I'm having me an iPhone!

Will mail you a "weigh in" tomorrow morning and take it from there.

If I lost any weight, I'd turn transparent.

I'd be up for stoat's club, though.

I'm 9st now, I'd like to put on 1/2 a stone, through developing muscle.

Is beer a good energy drink? It's got lots of calories, it must be.

I am going for 2 stone over 12 weeks (think that's what I put in my email) - so not quite in the league of some of you! Trying to get down from 19 to 17 stone... few year back I went from 21 stone to 17 stone 10 in about 12 weeks, and was pretty lean at that weight, so I have no idea whether 17 stone is even a realistic goal for long term or not! Still... worth a try I suppose.

Decided that this year has got to get better, and if I can get fitter and loose some excess it will help lift my mood and make more things possible (like coping with the current loss and grief side of things). Here's hoping anyway.

I will give it a go again - seem to have gained a stone over the last year, will email later.
The tip I was given over Christmas was to promise yourself a treat for steps towards target weight, going to work out what new bike bits and outings I could aim for over the coming weeks. ๐Ÿ˜€

I'm in if there's still room.

The events I've planned for this year will go much more smoothly if I let go of the odd pound or two!

Sent an e-mail to marsdenman to join, but haven't heard anything. Am I supposed to?

Reason I ask is that, without realising it, I sent my information before STW had recognised my fresh registration for the site.

No, but you are on the list posted by marsdenman [although you probably know that by now!]

"[i]Are we supposed to have sent another weigh-in yesterday? (9th as per OP)[/i]"

Yes, I believe so. I have ๐Ÿ˜‰

yes, mailed Marsdenman - 4lb down this week but probably not all lard as was off the bike for almost a fortnight before this week! Still, in right direction and as long as doesn't go up next week will be happy.

Jamie - yep, be intersting to see, the attrition rate on the lat Club was extreme to say the least......

Anyways up, finally got to correct the formulae on the spreadsheet so here, for the terminally sleepless, are the 2009 Club facts and figures

52 members*
Total start weight 10851lbs ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
Average target loss 21lbs
Average target loss as a percentage of start weight 10%
Average loss this week 1.5lb**

*13 yet to report a figure for this last week
**average skewed a little by the 13 not reporting figures, then there's the fact that 3 of you report losses of 7lb, one reporting a 6 lb loss, one reporting 5lb loss and a few reporting 4lb losses ๐Ÿ˜ฏ ๐Ÿ˜ฏ - you guys (and gal...) eating your own limbs or something... ๐Ÿ˜†

Can I still be in despite being late? I have been dieting since new year but not lost any weight from the start weight I entered in the email!

7lb loss is a lot of time spent on the loo ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Don't doubt anyone lost their stated weight - after all I'm one of the ones in the group that lost 4lbs (due mostly to the exertions of learning to ski...lucky me!).
Given its the first week I'm guessing some folk may have made significant changes to diet and exercise which would explain the higher figures, once the old body realises what's going on it will react accordingly and losses will likely settle to the (so called) safe figure of a lb or two a week.....
