No pics from me – belly not ready yet.

Yay! well done Derek.
Maybe you could re-name yourself ‘Derek Starfighter’, which sounds faster and slimmer. 🙂

😯 Half my bodyweight.

well done you.

PP – curry?!??! My body is a temple. I wouldn’t allow such filth across the threshold

That’s one big temple.

Shreck – you’re hilarious. You should have an agent. Sarin should do it.

Nob.

fair play to you Mr Starship

Half my bodyweight.

emsz – are you a dwarf? You haven’t been on any nights out with the England rugby team lately have you?

Half my bodyweight.

well done you.

LOL. Lose the same again and emsz can ride you like a pony and you won’t even notice 😀

Tempted to show my mahoosive belly off in the hope of receiving similar inspiration! 🙂

Well done tho can’t beleive that was 2 years ago, I remember the thread well.

Eating here! 😯

C’mon Tops… get your belly out, we need to abuse someone rather than congratulating Derek.

Golly 51lbs, thats a 3rd of my weight!!

BloominEk.. well done son.

To counter the praise, with touching modesty , I shouldn’t have allowed my weight to increase
to what it did. I’m only 5′ 9″ yet I’d hit 18st 3lb when I decided to take action.

Once again though kids – I appreciate the congtrat’s

I wouldn’t touch your modesty..

*wonders if berm bandit is taking the piss*

Nope, would have done had I thought of it, but I didn’t so no I wasn’t.

Just wondering if you would mind me nabbing the pics to use when I’m coaching? I know people don’t get it when you tell em about the risk, perhaps this would help get the message over.

Berm Bandit – please feel free to re-use the pics for use in any training literature or presentation.

I’d be honoured to help prevent a potentially fatal injury.

Just wondering if you would mind me nabbing the pics to use when I’m coaching?

Are you teaching them that if they use bar end plugs, they’ll lose 51 lbs?

and emsz can ride you like a pony and you won’t even notice

Blimey – losing 102lbs would be quite an achievement but to expect emsz to “change buses” and then ride me is asking a bit much 😆 😯

Blimey, I’d not recognise you if I met you again; there’s slightly less of you than when I had a ride in the back of your car at HTN. Good work.

Derek Starfighter

Derek stoneslighter

fair play dude! fair play for having the guts to post the photos and losing the gut in the first place 😀

there’s slightly less of you than when I had a ride in the back of your car at HTN

😯 😯

there’s slightly less of you than when I had a ride in the back of your car at HTN

Blimey, and I thought you were just dropping off traffic cones.

Why didn’t I get a ride in the back of your car at HTN? S’not fair! 🙁

You were too busy jigging on the podium.

The prize at next years HtN is DS’s missing 51 lbs.

derek_no_longer_the_size_of_a_starship, well done mate!

The original thread was a bit of a piss take fest, good response. 😉

Well done! When I first saw the first pic (In the injuries thread) I wasn’t sure if it was that size due to swelling 😀 😯 Much better now – doesn’t put me off my tea

Awesome! Well done!

Soon you’ll have a six pack, like me.

C’mon Tops… get your belly out, we need to abuse someone rather than congratulating Derek.

Best not – don’t think I have Derek’s tenacity!

Ah jeeze Harry Spider no need! Now I’ve got that idea stuck in me head. Nasty. 😡

Besides, that’s considerably less than 51lbs of fayt.

Derek; you’ll always be Starbelly to me. 🙂

Fair play; that’s a proper achievement, that.

Being tiny does not in any way seem to stop Emsz from fighting in pubs though. 😐

51 lbs **** well done great effort. WELL DONE.

Give me so tips!!!

Iv lost 14 lbs since April, got another 30lbs to go mind!!

Wow, that was a memorable thread; I can’t believe that was 2 years ago.

Massively well done Derek. 😀

Actually this is more like it

😛

Well done DS, you were slimmer than the original pic when i met you on the first turbines ride, now you’re unrecognisable!

Please don’t tell me that thread was 2 years ago…

Oh and well done Mr DS Lite. 51lbs is something to be *very* smug about.

Well done DS.

A couple of pounds a month doesn’t seem like a lot but over 2 years that’s one hell of an achievement. Put into perspective, it’s the equivalent of two of these:-

Well done DS, keep up the good work!

wow – I don’t know lbs – but 23.13321087KG is very impressive….

You have my permission to treat yourself to a new belt and trousers that fit – go on, you deserve it!
