Hi Rob, I PM’d you my details on the 21st but haven’t received an email.
I've re-emailed all my details Rob - Cheers for picking up the mantle yet again
Does the PM system still work? When I click on Rob's profile it redirects to "Freebird" who doesn't have an e-mail address.
how do you get in on this? ive already pmd
Yo! Anyone who is a-waiting, I send out the details in batches so I don't have to do too much admin. Off work today, so I'll do the next lot tomorrow.
Anyone who's emailed, or PMd I should have your details and you'll hear from me tomorrow.
Is there ritual humiliation for failing to achieve? I need the threat of that to get going!
PM sent, a terrible showing last year saw an initial loss turn into a loss of motivation and a net weight gain of just over a stone!
With baby no2 on the way in March this isn't going to be an easy year, but I've booked in a couple of big sportives (away days mountain biking is off the cards for the foreseeable) to keep a goal in sight and hopefully stop me straying too far from the path of light.
PM about to be sent, I need in. Over a stone on last year due to injury and general life crap.
HI,
Just Pm'd, need all the help i can get. Weighed myself last night and it's a new record for me. No wonder getting up the stairs is such a job at the minute!
Has anyone used Weight watchers, just the app not the meetings to help guide them? Or is my fitness pal and some motivation good enough?
I excercise a reasonable amount (16 miles a day bike commute plus a couple of strength training session a week) but I also more than make up for this with food and beer so I am on the very heavy side, so I need something that helps me moderate but won't make me hate living, or just delete the app.
I'll give Rob a shout too as this may help me learn some lessons from the wise!
I'm in PM on the way!
You lot are going to take the piss.
I weigh 12stone but i reckon thats 1.5 on my belly and half a stone on what is shaping into a pretty good rack.
You lot are going to take the piss.
That's not what this group is for, I'm considerably heavier than you and at 5'10" way over where I should be, so everyone has their own version of what they need to do!
I'm in too if it's not too late. PM sent.
I'm in. Was gonna join in last year but didn't & am nearly 2 stone worse off than then 🙁
PM sent
I'll be in again, I did terribly last year - I don't think I entered anything in the spreadsheet, but really enjoyed Rob's weekly email! 🙂
I'm a few stone up again, so need to get back some much needed motivation.
As if being referred to recently as "my little round husband" wasn't a subtle enough hint....
I'm back in again after last year's complete failure to lost any weight. London Marathon is in 16 weeks so my stretch (HAHA) goal is 0.5kg a week and get down to 76ish for the race.
I've already had two biscuits this afternoon 🙁
Everyone who has messaged me should now be included - just sent out an email to approx 30 peeps. If you haven't had one yet get in touch.
70 of us in ATM. I'm poorly bad & off work, so this might be the ideal time to get round to doing the fancy stuff while I convalesce.
If anyone has any ideas about the what they'd like to see in the dashboard e.g. being able to compare against another chubbly then let me know.
Of course I'll either pretend it was my idea and patent it straight away, make huge bank, go and live on a desert island and feast on twinkies washed down with coke (& hookers, natch) or totally ignore your stoopid suggestion - IT'S MY FAT CLUB I'LL DO WHAT THE **** I WANT!!!!
Love from Rob xx
P.S. @Jamie I think you input your weight worng dear. Or you ate substantially more over Chrimbo than you realise.
Hi, I haven't received any emails.

That'd be some seriously impressive competition eating!
Oh, and thanks for the email, I'm in, in.

No idea what has happened there. Looks like someone has sausage fingers and entered errant data into my box.
Message sent, I broke 100kg for the first time last week. Want to get back down to 90kg which is tough with a sedentary job, young kids and a wife who buys cupboards full of 'treats'.
First weigh-in day today. I for one am looking forward quite happily to being a bit hungry over the next week instead of too full, like I have been for the past fortnight 🙂
In your email you said "get to it". I'm assuming the "it" is the giant sharing mince pie I couldn't walk past in Aldi because it was reduced and I'm weak? If so, done!

You might want to reconsider your game-plan 😀
no email for me...
Email received, rather large number entered and a realistic target set (no it's not an even higher number).
Thanks for organising this Rob. Appreciated.

Have resent to you Andy. Poss. it's in your spam fodler?
Mmmmm.... spam 🤢🤢
Some ambitious targets there to say the least. I guess those of you with average +1kg loss per week are going for the dysentery diet?

That'll be nobody then! All of the weekly targets so far over 1 are for those measuring in lbs, and none of them are over 2.2 lbs.
yup in the spam. cheers chap 🙂

Er, yeh, good point
weighed in.... didn't look pretty.... looking at 0.8 kg per week so could be ambitious.... we'll see.
Want to drop a load before first baby arrives in June (currently rocking out at 132.9kg so shouldn't be too much to ask for.
Good luck one and all.

Uhm, could you not have had a couple more... there was acouple left in my local and i may not have been able to refuse.
Time to crack on this year, been promising to get back to race weight for a couple of years. Can i play still?!
Weighed in yesterday at 87 kilos so 13.7 stone. Impressed considering I've spent the last six weeks feeling full and lethargic from all the junk I've shovelled in me. Not too much of a weight gain although I think I've lost a bit of lean mass. To be honest this is more about fitting into my clothes better than figures on the scales, if I was dreaming I'd say I'd like to be about 12:4 so dropping about ten kilos. But that may not be viable with family life, shifts, etc (for etc read boredom eating. I get bored at work). However, if I can drop to about 12:10 and get into my slimmer clothes on be more than happy. I'm going to try and work out as well as run more so any muscle mass gains I make may cancel out some fat loss on the scales. I'm definitely sorting my diet out though, it was shocking. On one shift I took my lunch and my dinner (it was a long shift) but also had in my bag a tube of pringles and a big pack o' bourbons. These were both to last me all week. Of course they didn't. And I could do that every day, in fact I was hoovering up a pack of biscuits a day easily and would probably try and find something else to go with it. I'd get stressed if I was at work and didn't have enough crap to eat. THAT'S what I need to sort out most and why joining on here might just give me the focus and discipline I need. All that said I'll go for a 0.5 kilo weekly weight loss.
Saying all that though, I did try and enter my weight into the chart but it seems to be playing up for me. Only seem to be getting partial info through and can't see myself on there, seeing down to 35. IF I get the time I'll see if I can do better on my laptop.
I'm heavier today than I was when the 2018 Chub Club started... 🙁
93.4, which was actually lighter than I'd been in a while! Aiming for a Bmi of 24 by the summer.
Could we add mileage to the sheet? See whats working best for others, riding lots or eating less. Riding works for me but I'm stuck away in a hotel with work for the next three months!
I'm back on it
2yrs ago I got to 12st12 and I'm back at 14.8ish
Not good
Is like to drop at least a stone n half by September...
Rob - PM sent!
In the summer of 2017 I was half-arsedly training to fo a marathon - got made redundant in July, next job was (and is) as an IT trainer, so totally sedentary, no routine and no chance of cycling to work. Professionally, the time since has been great, but physically they have not been kind. Time to make some changes before I cross the nineteen stone boundary.... 🙂
Big question: how are you gonna lose the chub?
I’m going for a 10 kg loss this quarter after blobbing out by not being on the bike for health and work/lack of free time.
I’m trying for a circa 1700 calorie daily intake and >10000 steps per day, plus a few rides (mostly turbo for now). Just recovering from an op so we’ll have to see how we progress.
Just back from holiday, will crack on from Monday.
2x spin class in winter and split between 85km road and Mtb spins at the weekend.
Mfp reckons about 1500 calories, need to cut out the shit in the evening and drink a lot less 🙁
Riding works for me but I’m stuck away in a hotel with work for the next three months!
Take your trainers. Way faster than cycling for burning the calories i find.

I’m not having to join this year thankfully. One of the reasons was I spent at least a night a week in a hotel last year. It’s so easy just to eat crap food and have a few beers. I made myself go to the hotel gym, go for a run or at least a long walk. Ate healthily and only allowed myself one pint if I’d done some exercise.
Hotel-life is really bad for weight gain unless you’re disciplined. Took me about 20 years to work this out 🙂
Good luck all!
