STW Chub Club 2017

I was not looking forward to this weigh in after a week away on holiday over half term which consisted of little exercise and lots of beer and meat and snacks. Not surprised to see I’d put weight on today. Put 4lb back on of the 9lb I’d lost! Back on it!

Up a lb, but on antibiotics and antivirals so no exercise.

OP, ygm

Hi everyone; weigh in day today

usual form; email with your stw name and weight in lbs in the subject line

theotherjonv 199lbs

etc.

I can recommend traumatic infected tooth removal and a diet of entirely mashed vegetables and soup as a regime. 2.5lbs lost and would have been more if it weren’t for ice cream slipping down so nicely…..

Forgot this morning, will weigh in tomorrow. I fear the only weight I will have lost will be the weight of the stitches coming out my thumb in half an hour. Which may not offset two weeks being unable to hold handlebars or do much else apart from walk.

Little nervous about today. I’m currently sat in a ski resort in Austria and have basically lived on cheese and pork for a week. I’ll try and find some scales later.

Down to 107kg (236lbs) from 118.6kg in Jan (261.5lbs). 🙂

Had a slow start to Feb, concentrating more on getting fitter and faster than loosing weight, but back on weight loss (and maintaining fitness).

I definitely need new clothes now, the pair of jeans I leave at work have the belt done up so tight the front bulges out making it look like I sport a semi all day! 😆

Yes, another lb and a bit down, 190.9 for me. Very happy with that.

Having to buy new smaller clothes is great motivation, well done Steve!!

Somehow, I’m not really sure how, a shade over 3lb off, and I haven’t even had an empty this morning!

That’s 14st 9lb on my scales, the lightest I’ve been since about last June, when I’d been biking a lot, so bodes well being at that this early in the year. Target for end of March is 14st, 9lb in 5 weeks should be doable, but I’m goiong to have to up the exercise I think as all the Xmas bloat must be gone by now.

YGM Jon – Down to 185 lbs.

Cut out “sugar in hot drinks” two weeks ago and it made a difference very quickly. I was probable eating 14 teaspoons of sugar a day in tea alone.

I’m keeping track of my weight daily in an Excel worksheet and although the line is predictably spikey, it’s good to see the overall downward trend.

Im back on the waggon this week. Been a rubbish couple of months personally which has meant no biking and lots of late night take aways and rushed meals.

Re-setting my goals based on this mornings weigh-in and going for a ride in the sunshine.

Exactly the same as a fortnight ago, which was the same as the fortnight before.

I think I may have plateaued. Unless my scale is broken.

Time for a re-think I suppose.

3lbs gone. (not massive)

But….

I think after 4 weeks of staying the same I’m dropping again 😀

Down a couple of lbs. Hit my first landmark of a stone off which is nice.

Shoulder OP on 28th, well if I can shift this stinking cold I’ve had all week, so imagine the loss is going to slow up for a bit.

Some great news there, especially Grenosteve (fistpump!). Throwing away old big clothes feels really good.

Hopefully under the magic 200 when I weigh tomorrow, which will be another 5lb off, and 28lb off overall.

Hmm. Lost a gnats since last week (85.4kg from 85.6), but that’s after 84.6 at the last official weigh in the week before 🙁

I’m not surprised TBH, diet the last week was terrible, this week it’s been better but not brilliant. Ah well, play the long game…

Put 4lb back on of the 9lb I’d lost!

I also :/

Haribo & bread found their way back into my daily(!) life :/

I’m too all or nothing to play the long, sensible game – back to starvation mode for a couple of weeks for me…

Also, I never realised how skinny/fat I am.

Gonna have to go do some crunches.

Also, I never realised how skinny/fat I am

Me too 🙁

Legs like Wiggins…..body like Biggins.

Legs like twiglets, body like piglets 🙁

erm……

Legs like rifles, body like trifles?

Maybe us 40 somethings are asking a bit much of ourselves seeking 6-packs!! If you offered me my new weight, with a little bit of a belly, for the rest of my life I’d be VERY happy.

How about some before/after photos after 3 months? Lycra acceptable, naked/topless not!!!!

Legs like Jackman, body like PacMan?

Well played sir! 😆

Static against 2 weeks ago.

NOt quite sure how to feel about it – not really disappointed as I thought it would be worse. Last two weeks I’ve really lost the discipline I had through Jan.

And I think I know what it is. Since end Jan, been back on the booze. And it seems I’m a 1-0/all or nothing type. Too many (say, 5 out of 7 nights/week) having a drink – not silly amounts – but too regular.

But seems to do a couple of things:-
I snack (packet of crisps or some peanuts with a glass of wine/beer
I seem to lose discipline – “well I’m having a glass of wine, so why not have some crisps” type of thing

So decided to do Modest March and cut the booze. Should be a kickstart

Try cutting some carbs. I’m also a black/white kind of dieter, and this really works for me, as my numbers show 🙂

Nothing, and that’s despite finally getting out riding since the last weigh in. Exercise it’s not good for you.

No change for me. I’d say increased exercise but poor diet have balanced perfectly!

To everybody who is struggling with a slow down or slight increase just stick with it.

It will start to go again

This is the real test, push on through !!

Slight increase here, but I put that down to a recent hospital visit and being laid up feeling sorry for myself, all its done is shiow me that when I am on it it works so best to recover now to get fully back on it

Can we get a t-shirt with one of those legs like / body like phrases on. Wiggins / Biggins made me LOL

Legs like Schawarzenegger / body like Cheggers

Legs like Arnie / body like Barney (the darts player or the dinosaur, you decide)

body like Cheggers

You’ve taken that too far. *shudders*

Legs like Van Damme, Body like Van Morrison

careful, Cinnamon-Girl will be trying to jump you

She’d need a big ramp, at least 160mm of rear suspension travel , some body armour and a bucket load of brave pills.

I’m a big lad.

Still the same weight as last time, so 9ib off overall.

I’m not too fussed though as it was my birthday, and a weekend away which involved

a) Beer
b) Pies
c) Burgers
d) More beer
e) Wine
f) Cheese
g) Pizza
h) More beer

All in all, not putting everything back on again was a positive

Back on the wagon again, and just off out on the bike now

Yay! 3lbs down over the 2 weeks, which makes my total weight loss 1st 1lb.

9lbs to go. Now I’m exercising, I’m hoping that will steadily drop off.

So, managed my weigh in this morning, and I’m 199 lbs – made it under 200 8)

Total loss 29 lbs, 5″ off the waist.
