Another one in over here.

Never been light but always pretty fit and fast enough but last year saw me with my lowest ever mileage (1800 mainly commute and some road) with old eating habits. Not a great combo so some structured action is required!

I’ve just found out alcohol-free beer still contains calories (not as much as alcoholic beer, but still quite a few).
No wonder I’ve not lost much weight since exchanging the real sauce for the fake sauce.

Started using my fitness pal today – even with a cheeky pint with the old man tonight I still have 460 calories left!

I can see this getting obsessive..

Ooh – just noticed you can link it to Strava too!

Didn’t know you could do that! Although I take my strava rides (use a HR monitor) and copy into MFP, I only enter 75% of the calories into MFP though.

Erg, forgot how hard commuting can be when running on fumes. Need to have my afternoon snack later on to prevent bonking on the climb up home! That wasn’t pleasant in the pissing rain and dark last night. 😥

4 days in and initial signs are good 😯

Water gone!

Now for the harder get rid of the chub (again) slog…. 😈

MFP is taking a feed straight from my garmin watch so I’m getting calories back for steps as well as rides 🙂

Guys, I like a milky coffee more than once a day…. should I replace the milk with some cream to reduce carbs?

Expresso or water. Don’t drink calories.

Only acceptable alternative is double exxpresso.

You’ve not sent the email link through yet have you rob

Expresso or water.

One of those is not very attractive!

I **** haven’t! Sorries! Will do it now…

Have a milky coffee just semi skimmed milk and include it in your calories. No problem.

Lol no worries rob I just didn’t want to miss it 😉 ta

Suppose I’d better throw my hat into the ring for this. Hit 13 stone yesterday morning after getting down to 12st 7 in early December.

You guys are missing a trick here by starting before the first weigh in 😉

My cunning plan is to continue my over indulgence until tomorrow so I will truly (and embarrassingly) peak in fatness tomorrow and then actually paying attention to what I eat should make a dramatic difference 😆

Hi Rob, I popped you an email but didn’t hear anything back…
The blubber needs to go so sign me up 🙂
Cheers, Tim

@timbles – you’re defnly in. Will re-send…

I found the Tshirt I won back in 2008 for winning looser of the month in Fat Club on here

Should we set up a strava club???

That is a brilliant idea 😀

Well that’s at least two of us in!

Who wants the honour of setting it up? Rob? This is your gig after all. 😉

serious question. I’ve increased my exercise and dropped my calorie intake and one unexpected side effect is that I am literally pissing like a horse. I haven’t massively increased my fluid intake either.

Is this how people lose water weight in the first week? 🙂

I had that last year, but probably because I was drinking gallons of tea to stop me eating snacks!

just seen a photo of me making baggies look like lycra; e-mail sent…..

Great idea – I’m in.

Prizes?? This is austerity Fat Club – the winner of this will be lucky to get a second serving of gruel.

Not freaking likely! I’ve got enough to do already with babysitting adults who can’t feed themselves properly (I’m allowed to joke about that cos I’m one of them :P)

isn’t the problem that we can feed ourselves too well?

Fairysnuff. I’ll set up a strava club for anyone interested.

In San Antonio, Texas for some reason! Will change that later.

IN!

and top of the leader board already…. (of 2 😀 and only last weeks not this week…but still… get in!)

EDIT: Well that moment of glory didn’t last long 😥

oops; I’m presuming lard is like cream and rises to the top!

2nd place for me! 😉 (for now!)

If anyone has better photos to use on the page (wouldn’t be hard!), let me know and I’ll update it. Strava art of a fat bloke on a bike would be ace!

I like the banner 😆

I might just have to sign up to Strava now – not that I actually ride much…

I can highly recommend

Tom Kerridge’s Southern ‘Fried’ Chicken

I didn’t use all the same herbs, just a Schwarz pot of mixed, used some Old Bay seasoning i had instead of paprika, and used 0% natural yoghurt i.o buttermilk (my wife’s on Slimming World and that’s a free food whereas buttermilk isn’t)

Didn’t do the potato salad either, just did sweet potato mash, which needs nothing but salt and pepper to make it delicious (no butter/cheese/etc.) and broccoli and got a resounding thumbs up from wife and 2 girls.

Kerridge’s is allegedly 500 cals for a 3 thigh portion, with my subs I reckon closer to 400.

Buurrrrppppp!

Is the Strava club only recording rides? What about running?

im currently drinking scotch shivering like a shitting dog with full blown cat aids

Good thing to add to coffee is coconut oil. Not too much or it’s like your drinking a chow mein but it’s also supposed to be good for you.

Earlier this month, the American Heart Association (AHA) warned that coconut oil contains the same level of saturated fat as beef dripping.

from here 🙂

Joined the strata group but my xc skiing isn’t showing up. This is an outrage

Joined the strava group then I remembered I’m keeping my rides private for personal reasons, so I left again. No offense
