[Closed] 2022 Chub Club

Always appreciated.

Great !
Thank you very much

Cheers- started last one ok, then dropped off big time.

I'll try again. Havea rce target for this year as well.

Thanks once again.

Wonder if I'll be the heaviest at start?
This time I am determined to lose and keep doing so.

I'm in.

I'll try again - back end of last year dodi go to plan with family issues and illness.

Boy do I need this - much appreciated

Third year of trying, let's hope I succeed this time.

Cheers - gonna give this a try and see how I get on w some peer pressure. Guess I shouldn't be drinking this beer this evening........

Thanks - I'm back in

I’m in. Did type a longer reply, but realised it was excuses. I’ll just get on with it 😜

All are welcome to join, this Chub Club runs through Jan/Feb/March. Final weigh in will be on Friday 1st April.

Thanks, I'm in again. I got within 3kgs of my target for the last chub club with 2 weeks to spare, but then the wheels fell off with getting back on the booze and with it the usual counter to the hangover of eating more. Weighed in on NYD to find I'd put on 7kgs in 3-4 weeks! Taking the positives I'm still about 10kgs lighter than when I started back in Sept.

Thanks, first timer here. I need to some peer pressure to help me along and I'm looking forward to getting back in shape after a year of injury. Although if my son can't comment on my belly, I fear he might move his focus to my growing bald spot.

If anyone wants a personal weight tracker spreadsheet you can make a copy of this and keep it just for yourself : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ogSAwH5vdArN5YuQxN7P38OBzdigd5IC5iFHhfl9uYw/edit?usp=sharing

This is all =calculated in KG so that 10+10 =20 instead of 1st 3 lb and 7 farthings but does show the weight in Stones and Pounds as well.

Columns you can change
Column A : Target weekly weight loss. I start with a higher number and then quite quickly reduce to a steady and sustainable number but you can adjust as you like.
Column B : The date you weigh yourself. It is current set to show every day but if you just type over with the actual date you weighed then it does all the maths to cope with that.
Column C : Your weight on the date you weighed yourself.

Columns for Information
Columns D - F : Your target in KG and then your weight and Target in imperial

Graph
This shows how you are doing over time against the target.
Right Click and select Vertical Axis to adjust the range of weights as it is currently set between 90kg - 110kg and you might want a different range.

Enjoy and please suggest improvements

I'm in.

And thanks for that link WCA, I've pinched a copy

Hopped on the scales this morning for the first time since catching COVID at the start of December. 95Kg or as I prefer a hair under 15st. Time to sign up, and maybe the gym or swim again too.

Cheers, let's try again for the sake of my joints!

I'm in, thanks for this! Need some motivation finally..

Signed up, I lost 6 Kgs over 11 months last year and have just put back on 4 Kg over the Xmas period.
Hopefully, it can motivate me to lose what I've put on and more.

In. Ankle injury though 2021 followed by snapping the ATFL (and mucking a lot of the rest up) in December has left me fat and demotivated.

When you son tells you (as a man) you have tits and a wobbly belly things are not good.

Thanks for doing this.

I think I'm currently the fattest I've ever been. Its not the type of high score I enjoy so hopefully this will give me the motivation to lose a bit of weight

I had to restore the spreadhseet to 09:05am this morning, as someone had accidentially deleted some data, a few of you may need to re-enter details if you put them in after this time.

I'm in. I'm actually heavier than I was at the beginning of the last one so set the same target. Still 15kg heavier than I was at the start of the pandemic though, lots of work to do.

In also. Gradually put on 10kg over the last couple of years. Need to sort it out.

Thanks Coconut- just checked and my line’s disappeared.
I’ll update in the morning

@coconut in column D, there’s an error as the majority are divided by 16 for the weekly target rather than the 13 it should be (unless I’m missing something, which is likely)

And thanks for setting this up.

I’m in. Out of control over Christmas and an absolute disgrace

@coconut in column D, there’s an error as the majority are divided by 16

Well spotted, the 16 was a carry over from the previous Chub Club... adjusted now... everyones weekly weight loss target just went up a bit! 🙂

Everyone ready for the first weigh in tomorrow? Remember to do it in the morning for best results. 👍
If one 5k run and a salad this week hasn’t resulted in half a stone I’ll be disappointed 😢

Try to avoid the consolation cake if so!

I’ve been living like a monk all week and been on the turbo trainer every night - bacon & egg sarnie for breakfast if the weigh in doesn’t go well in the morning 😉.

I’m in. Weighed 100kg for first time in my life at new year. Time to fire up MyFitnessPal and dry January…
How many calories in a chicken tikka masala, rice and naan?

Solid start for me, 3kgs off in week one which is mostly down to no booze and being a bit more mindful of what I'm eating. I only managed to get one ride in though so need to up that in the coming weeks.

Well done @muggomagic

I've taken your crown as the heaviest here now, after somewhat of a disaster last week.

(comfort eating due to the new syndrome known as 'Garmindy' 😉

Could be a challenge between me and thee as we are so close weight wise 🙂

Just over a kg down, but mainly just stopping the Christmas/New Year excess I think

Just over a kg down, but mainly just stopping the Christmas/New Year excess I think

Yeah, similar here. 2kg down, but mostly as a result of Xmas being done and me not eating like Henry VIII for every meal.

First weigh in today but remarkably appear to have only put on 1.2kg over Christmas despite my onstop chomping on licorice and stuff.

Solid start for me, 3kgs off in week one

Crikey!.. that's a huge amount of weight to shift in week one, good going.

Thanks for organising. 3rd try for me. Big drop in week 1, but I think that is just down to having less Christmas / holiday junk in the system as it were. This week was all about eating clean, next week hope to ramp up the exercise too. Good luck everyone.

Only a 0.3kg drop this week but I've still had a few of the Christmas treats around that needed to be finished off so that's been an issue. All gone now and I have a few weeks of working at a placement with a decent amount of physical work so that should help burn a few extra calories. My bike training in an attempt to try and get ready for the spring kicks off this week too so hopefully things should go in the right direction quickly this time.

I have buried the Xmas treats from a straggling visit in the bowels of the freezer and went out and exercised. Need to wrench my outlook round to enthusiasm about fat loss rather than enthusiasm about cake! At the moment I am literally drilling at the thought of those rock hard frozen chocolatey morsels. Am going to make some herbal tea....

4lb off which is a nice start. Often the way with me in the first week. Need to keep going steady now.
