Also. We’re all done. I started so well, but just drifted off in the last month. I know where I went wrong, do should be able to fix for next time. I’ll hit 10 stone if it kills me.
Well it is all over bar the last weigh in 🙂
Well done to everyone who took part, regardless of outcome. And a huge thank you to Rob for organising it and for all the work in the background to set up and maintain the spreadsheet. Here's hoping we can all maintain this going forward and look forward to seeing some of you out on the trails, smashing KOMs left right and centre.
I can’t input my weight as on mobile only 🙁
well done to all!
See you in Chub Club 2 - Chub club strike back with a purpose
(Final weight was a disappointing 88.8 but pleased with overall progress, if someone would be really awesome and input that into the sheet I’d be very grateful 👍😀)
Bravo Rob, thanks for the service and the general geniality. CC-2 welcomed.
Currently, only 35 flabby bodies are going in for round 2 as that's how many people have updated their weight up to last Friday.
If you've emailed me re staying in - I'm not ignoring you, I'll do everyone at once when the new spreadsheet is live. Which will be some time in the next couple of days.
Finally updated my Friday weigh-in.
To all those who may have missed their target, take comfort in the fact that I went up 1.3kg from my start weight. Now do I still keep my original target to spur me on, or relax it a bit?
There was weight loss this week, which was nice. So disheartened that I did not bother on the penultimate week.
Now do I still keep my original target to spur me on, or relax it a bit?
You know what Frankie would say
Eat more pie??
No! He'd say no pudding for you :).
I've managed to just about get back down to pretty much where I started, hey ho! Well done everyone else 🙂
I'll be in again for the next one.
I'm in. Fattening up ready for the new round.
It’s live!!!!!
So exciting!
All current weights have been moved over as start weights for this edition, email with link has gone out and I can fully focus on planning just how I’m gonna lose 0.4 pounds a week :).
Anyone who's new to this & wants in, email me, yo.
Oh yes - include your forum name in the email please :).
Hi
It's showing as view only for me so I can't add a target. Not a bad thing really!
Cheers
Neil
I fink it's fixed
Yep, well done!
Do you have any expertise fixing forums?
I'll just stick my target in there from last time as well then :p
Thanks for setting this up again Rob. I've lost 13kgs (30lbs) since Jan 5th, which is more than my bike. Hoping to lose another 10kg in the next 12 weeks, which will make a total of two bikes lost if I can keep up the clean eating.
Checking in each week has really helped with the motivation, and I doubt I'd have kept it up if it wasn't for the spreadsheet and weekly reminders. Well done everyone 🙂
Yep, well done Rob - new target entered and locked on.
1lb/week should be OK to acheive and will take me below 80kg which is a place I've not been to in over 25 years!!
The weekly weigh-in has been a great motivator and I should just keep doing these regardless of what me weight ends up at 🙂
14kg lost since early December and still not done any exercise.... maybe once it warms up 😉
Thanks again Rob for sorting this.
Question about MFP - if I change the start date and weight to now will it re calculate calories required?
Appreciate if I change these then previous diary entries will be erased but not too fussed about it .
I've unconsciously followed Jamie's strategy of putting on weight just so I can motivate myself to lose it agen and feel better about do that... I'm not sure it's the way forward, but it is what it is.
Family dim-sum meal tomorrow should be interesting what with the encouragement to gorge myself when I'll really just be wanting to nibble a bit of tofu. Maybe I'll order the chickens' feet in a bid to put myself completely off eating for a couple of days 😀
Hmmm... the weekly email bounces back from BTInternet addresses:
554 Message rejected on 2018/04/06 13:06:51 BST, policy (3.2.2.1) – Your message looks like SPAM or has been reported as SPAM please read www.bt.com/bulksender
I might bother to look into this, I might not - who knows??
Anyway, it means Wally & Shooterman didn't get this week's and I know they're both in, so, you two: update please :).
Woo, in again - let's do this! Low carb/high GI seems to be the way for me, just need a little willpower!
Interestingly I didn't weigh myself after reaching my target in CCv1.1 but I continued with the low carb thing - I presumed I'd gone up a bit over Easter (no choc but plenty of alcohol) but it seems that I've continued to lose a bit of weight 🙂
So my weigh in figure today makes me look like I've lost a chunk in the last week but I haven't really - I think 1lb/week works for me at the moment.
oh yeah... and I had fish and [3] chips the other night!
Just back from 10 days away 🙂
I've been eating carbs and been drinking every night!
Jumped on the scales last night and I've lost 1lb.... Yay!!
However I did Ski over 230km over 8 days so not just been eating
I missed the weigh in last week but looks like i'm back on track with a more achievable target this round. Still not back to my 'best' in last season but not far off.
One thing that I can't seem to kick is the desire to eat a bowl of bloody cereal at about 10pm, it's ridiculous, the only way I can stop myself is to clean my teeth early so I can only drink water. I completely lack any sort of self control.
I'm like Groundhog Day. Same starting weight, same target.....feel like Sisyphus.
I've been a bloody saint today but can't really tell anyone about it cos frankly, i'm a terrible bore by now.
I'm in the process of cocking it all up though, when a bag of roasted salted pistachios says '25g contains 145 kcal' is that 25g including the shells?
can't do weigh in tomorrow, so did it this morning. 2lb off. Don't know why, not complaining. Next stop, 13.5 st, then after that i can start saying I'm closer to 13st than 14st again.
Might do mine now too. Last week was 4lb up on the last weigh in but I had been to America and had a bloody great time.
2lb of it has gone already. Phew.
Early weigh-ins are the thing this week! I did likewise - 1lb up.
Currently on a train in Greece hoping I'm going the right direction and wondering how much I'll put on by next week...
Plenty, I reckon
Right back on it after hols!
2.2 lbs off and here we ago again...
Normal BMI is somewhere over there on the horizon, still out of sight, but feels closer...
(79kg = Target = 24.9 bmi)
Well, living like a monk has its benefits. That's the best part of 800g off.
Carrot and butternut soup is on sale at Tesco and must be made with dust. I had enough defecit in the bank to not be completely derailed by my wife making raspberry pavlova for pudding.
1.4lb up.
I really need to have a word with myself. Not so much I’ve fallen off the wagon, that I have bought a wagon factory and jumped off that.
Would have been 140 if I’d stuck with what what I was doing, but now 151.4lbs. Bum.
i should get back on it really, but it's sunny here and we may BBQ. You know what that means...
Well there was a shock. After a pretty lazy week eating wise I appear to lost a massive 1.5 kilos! Certainly last weeks weigh-in was a disappointment and probably missing a morning ablution of some kind.
If anyone needs a helpful hint on how to beat the Friday morning weigh-in it must be to go and ride the Alpe Du Zwift in a hot cellar the night before. Still felt a bit dehydrated this morning but certainly gets the results. My lowest ever weight (well in the last 30 years anyway) and FINALLY) I have a normal BMI 🙂
EDIT: However. I have a stag do this weekend so lots of beers and unhealthy eating will soon knock me back to where I was. Maybe I need to over indulge and go full Roman Excess
Can't for the life of me figure out how to send an email from my phone for a group contact so there ain't one this week.
And it was gonna be the best, most hilarious, motivational one ever...
Plateaued again so need some ideas for low carb, low calorie lunches.
Well a weekend in Malta put me five pounds up but I think it was all alcohol after a week back I'm back down to where I was, happy days
Plateaued again so need some ideas for low carb, low calorie lunches.
It can get pretty monotonous but soup does the job, check the labels though, Covent Garden carrot and butternut squash soup is like 150 calories for the whole pot (2 servings, and is half price in sainsburys at the moment.) fulfils your low calorie criteria but it is packed with sugar (9.1g)
Add in a pack of beef jerky for a snack and i've still spent less than a meal deal. if i'm starving i'll throw in a handful of spinach and it'll wilt in the soup
Slight increase but I stopped using MFP! and have rediscovered SUGAR...
Need to focus...
Flat, maybe a lb on but based on 3 days in Amsterdam at an exhibition eating Stroopwaffels and nights out entertaining on the company card, I can live with that.
Harrumph.
