I've lost 6 lbs in a month purely by swapping my evening beer for fizzy water and having a hot cross bun when I get to work.
The bun seems to keep me satisfied between breakfast and lunch, so no picking.
Well, I dropped 1.6kg this week - quite a lot for me!
I've been on holiday all week and eaten loads but, helpfully, has a dose of D&V so potentially puked and squitted the weight back off again
Missed a week and only just weighed in as we then went to that London for 5 days so ate like a big fat king. Somehow managing to not actually put any weight on just maintain the flab that I already have.
Gained 8 lbs and nearly back to square one.
Why? - Shin splints have caused a two week exercise hiatus.
Being fed up and unable to walk easily and in pain caused too much drinking and eating.
On mend , very slowly.
1lb back off. Not much exercise recently due to a bad knee and shit weather, done a bit of HHIT at home instead with a kettlebell and things.
Oddly, despite weight not coming down much and not really doing calorie burning exercise in any great quantity (cf 3 hour rides) my belt is in a notch over the last week or two as well, and the mirror test is a bit better than it was at end Jan.
Got a lot to do to hit my March target though.
I'm plateauing!!!!
Me too.
Christ i only need to loose a half kilo a week!
1.5KG loss here, and that's despite last week including Pancake day and second pancake day.
+.4 kg this week. No doubt due to having 3 meals out with visiting colleagues.. Not hugely disappointed but frustrated all the same. Not sure how this next week is going to go either as currently feel like poo and have come down with something which ended up with a fever and rigoring in bed all night so a break from any exercise is happening.
Only down 0.4kg, but just .1kg off target. Damn that last 100g!!
Think I need to check weekends- had a roll for lunch Friday and 1/2 a pizza for tea. Cheeky sugary cereal and toast as a treat for brekkie; bread for lunches counter act the weeks' losses. Only 1 glass of wine one night and no beer so not hitting the booze. On Mon, was up from last Fri weigh in so a bit more restraint this weekend to see if it has any effect.
Down 0.8kg this week
Steady losses almost every week - MFP is the key for me
BMI at 25.2, so hopefully not officially overweight by next week!
- 4 Days break in Berlin
- My Birthday
- Haven't used MyFatnessPal all week
- Back on the Booze, drinking 5 nights out of the last 7
Guess what..... gained 3lbs this week
Back on it this next week, had my little bit of time off... (and enjoyed it, but not the hangovers! God the hangovers after nearly 40days of no drink are just bloody awful)
-0.2kg this week, definitely slowing down since not using mfp as much. Back on it I think.
With +0.3kg this week and +0.9kg last week it's been a bad fortnight and I'm nearly back to the weight I was a month ago.
Bad eating habits and mid-week drinking has crept back in due to some life stresses. From next week I start to work from an office after 9 years of working from home, I'm hoping that will have a positive effect.
Had a grim reverse last week - on holiday in Greece on the kebabs and ale, zero real exercise all week. Back headed in the right direction now but some work to be done.

That doesn't sound grim at all, in fact, it sounds ace! 🙂

Agreed! That sounds worth a couple kilos to me!
It was very nice - tbh the holiday weight is usually easy on easy off, so a mere bump in the road.
It appears that gym, swim, bike combined with healthy eating/drinking has caused my slight increase; lose flab, gain muscle is how I'm seeing it.
Down 8.4kg since the start of this and passed target...down a trouser size and all the Lycra fits without creaking and straining!
Its plateaued off, but leaves room for a few treats.
Very chuffed, it was the motivation to record each week. Nice one to whoever kicked this off!
Lost 1lbs
Would have been more but the new forum is to blame I guess 👍😀
No change this week for me. Progress has been slow but still losing little by little. Mainly because I’m just not riding enough and haven’t been to karate for 2 weeks due to being busy. So exercise has been down on normal. Back to more riding and karate as of next Monday so hope to see some bigger losses from next Friday.
Down a bit, just under target so happy with that. After a cheese and wine fest on Friday, def know that the weekend's relaxation unravels a lot of the week's progress. Still at least a stone's gone in just over 2 months.
Nice one to whoever kicked this off!
Rob Hilton is the user you want to thank, he's been at it for a few years now.
Well done to all those doing this in 2020, 2019 worked well for me.

And the Snooker player fella, think he was the original but Rob claimed his excel skills were better 🙂
Three years on and I'm still fat...

Claimed? Pah!
I'll take on all comers in a spreadsheet-off this Sunday at 10am at the local liberry.
Yo asses gonna get served!
Bit like Mos and street countdown I’m IT Crowd.
JonV is the John the Baptist to Rob’s messiah in the Church of Chubness
Same weight as last week - and same comment as posted above re gym/swim/bike/run converting flab into muscle....that's what I'm telling myself.
Rob, isn't about time you updated your own performance?
Chubdates!!!
3lbs lost this week - Fork yeah!!! (Salad fork obvs 🤔)
That’s 26.5lbs lost this year, feel much better in head and body and nearly at target
Hopefully break the 2st off next week.
No weigh in for me this week, a week on holiday will not have done me any favours. Next week....
Well, I feel ****ing amazing. For the first time in my adult life I've got my BMI under 25.
Dropped 10kg since new year with MyFitnessPal and this thread and worked out I've lifted over 100,000kg in the gym
[mod edit: embedding removed due to swears]
A lot of it is because I ripped all my ligaments in my knee in a motorbike accident, so have to build up strength but not put weight on so as not to stress the joint.
Decided that I'm going to go for "Brad Pitt in Fight Club" which will mean getting body fat down to 8% and losing another 12kg. Intense!
Good work fella 👍😀

After a few weeks of gaining, I've lost 1.7kg this week. Hope I'm back on track again now and the weight loss will continue.
Happy Chubdates Covid Friday People
Lost a somber 2lbs this week which is a good point in what is a pretty weird, strange and daunting week.
My weight loss has seen a lot of positive changes in my head as well as physically and given what we are facing a the moment i'm super glad of the clarity of headspace and the fact I'm much healthier. I've been drinking less, sleeping more, exercising more which i'm now very grateful for.
First time seeing a weight start with 13st for well over a year or two and that's the 2 Stone lost milestone achieved
Total loss 2st 1lbs
Chub Club target weight = Done 🙂
Next target is a 'Normal' BMI which is another Stone and half away
Bit annoyed with myself. Started the last couple of weeks well and then let myself go toward the end of the week.
Now trying to balance self isolation with deserted walks with the dog and dipped below 110kg which is good.
But, before I changed meds I was a shade under 100kg so a way to go yet over the rest of the year.
At least now the Orlando holiday is postponed to next year I can have the body of an Adonis 🙂
Well done on the 2st. I'm just under target and only 4kg away from normal BMI.
So what's the impact of Coronavirus going to be for us Chub Clubbers- see increases as we're WFH and cant resist hitting the cupboard or will we lose a lot more weight as the food runs out!!
100.1KG this week. Gutted. I was hoping to drop below 100 for the first time in years. Oh well, there’s always next week.
Aside from the numbers, ride yesterday felt lot better (unless its the impetus of making the most of potentially last ride for ages).
There's a nasty muddy/chalky climb (ok I'm down South so it's all relative) I'd not cleared since I replaced my Sugar1 for a Dialled Alpine and regular riding for kids 13 years ago. Managed it in one yesterday. On the route home there's also a nasty road climb that leads to a downhill blast that I usually ride past. Took a chance and made it up the road to get the benefit of the downhill.
I'm guessing losing almost 10% bodyweight and upping the exercise is playing off!
Another gain this week, all the stress of everything, being stuck in the house with 4 kids and me being a comfort eater isn't a good combination. Think I'll just give up now 😔
Don't worry, the food will run out soon so you'll drop weight then! Don't give up, a bad week or two won't matter in the long run if you get back into it. But it will if you give up completely and a few bad weeks become months, become years. I know I've got the Tshirts in increasing sizes to prove it. You may not meet your target, but even if you've had, say 4 good weeks out of 12 so far compared to your last year(s) of eating you're in a better place.

Hang tight fella! Tough times but stress eating only makes it worse 🙁
(I think we all know on this thread it's so hard not to though)
stress-related drinking and eating mean that I've gone up a bit. I was due to have my cholesterol measured again but with the doctors locked down I've elected to go on to statins until things have calmed down a bit.
No change for me this week, but to be fair I have been on holiday and while keeping active I wasn't controlling my eating to the same degree.
Have sit up a little gym along with the WFH computer in the spare room
Final weigh in:
Missed target by 1.4lbs, but lost 10.6 lbs and 2 inches on the waist.
One very happy Wally. Three cheers for Roberto...for organising this. I'm in for "Covid-19 lockdown" version, will give me something positive to focus on.
