STW Chub Club 2017

It’s alright, didn’t you see my winkie?

I chose to ignore it for comic purposes.

Plus the quoting is shitty on here.

😀

Thanks

Cool, thanks.

My plan is to move more (not difficult from such a low base), daily yoga sun-salutauons to get body ready for regular excersize again and portion control (weighed my cereal today, nearly treble standard portion so 900 calories !), less rice/pasta/spuds

Can I just check this for factual accuracy…

Mrs Binners tells me that if I drink a Diet Coke while eating pies, sausage rolls and crisps, then the Diet Coke dissolves all the calories present in the pastry-based loveliness (I believe there are only a couple anyway) like they never even existed?

I was initially sceptical, but having looked at various Diet Coke adverts it would definitely seem this is what they’re saying

Only if you stare at a builder out of the window at the same time. And the weight loss is mainly moisture carried away by your undercrackers, rather than proper lardloss.

Had a good day for calories (jesus, it’s come to this, I’m counting calories) with only 1400. Bloody hungry though as I’ve cut out the snacking. Didn’t ride either but we’ll see how the legs work today on the same intake.

“DO NOT use it to point and laugh”

Can I use it to point at myself and give myself a slow hand-clap?

I’ve put on half a kilo since this thread started – just finishing off Christmas food that’s “laying around”. ffs.

Can i join please,

I was travelling yesterday with no internet access.

Yesterday 14st 2lb

1 month target 13st 6lb

3 month 12st 10lb

6 month 12st dead.

added

Is it too late to join?

I’m 60, 89kg this morning and 180cms tall. I’m sailing a J80 at the World’s in Hamble in July and need to be 80kgs by then, I hope to be down to 85kg by April.
Just started commuting by bike, that’s no problem but getting changed at either end is a chore!

Can I join pls, I’m not doing calories in vs out or bants or iDave I’m trying out the new ‘Rack’ regime

I’m 5’11”

Hope to be 6’8″ by June to get a normal BMI 😀

<95kg now, need to be 80kg in 4 months>

Any Swinley locals fancy a weekly ‘fat club’ ride?
Meet at Muzzys Kebab van for 10-15 miles one evening a week, adding 1 mile a week as speed/fitness goes up. Say 18:30 on Mondays (same day as the Trolls FATS ride).

On the plus side I went to Swinley yesterday and I’m down 900g already (yea it’s just the carbs being flushed out of my liver but hey, it’s a start)

On the downside:
1) Actually bailed out of the Red on the hill after 16 (didn’t even do the blue!)
2) That’s it, but when did I become so unfit that 10 miles off road left me knackered? Turns out pre-christmass singlespeed commuting may have been in too low a gear :(.

Thanks for organising, sorry for late entry – missed thread. No worries if too late.

6’2″ Starting weight 104kg, 229 lbs
1 month target 102kg 225 lbs (lose 2kg / 4 lbs)
3 month target 98 kg 216 lbs (lose 6kg / 13 lbs)
6 month target 91.5kg 202 lbs (lose 12.5kg / 227 lbs)

First target looks reasonable and 2nd plausible if work travel cooperates. Think the 6 month one might be a bit optimistic though.

Genius 🙂

Meet at Muzzys Kebab van

Even geniuser 😀

On a semi-serious note, and following on from TINAS’s Swinley ride idea, where all the 47 folks geographically speaking? Given that this is allegedly a cycling forum (I know, right?), would seem like a good idea to get some Chub Club rides together.

FWIW, I’m in Cirencester, happy to meet up with folks to roady ride or off-roady bimblecoreXC. With some pi$$ing around with tyres I could even stretch to gravelcorelite.

Good day New Yrs Day, decent bike ride in the wet with some STRAAAAVA PB’s, calorie and crap food intake much reduced.

Yesterday had left over pizza, cheese and biscuits, pork pie, biscuits and general xmas left overs, not so good………..

Back to work today, and jumping on the wagon, my work trousers were a tight squeeze after a fortnight off binging. 😳

Tiger in, Morphio in, Fogliettaz – fine to join too but you need to send me your details by email asap.

And NZCol, if you still want in let me have your details asap too.

I’ll be in once I’ve polished off the Christmas alcohol and mince pies.

So about Easter?

God. It’s finally here. The day the laughter died. Guess I better draw up a meal plan or something.

*stares longingly at the place the hobnobs used to be*

I live in Spain so count me out for local rides.

Not convinced the “mediterranean diet” is working for me.

Even geniuser 😀

It’s a real car park, honest!

Pro’s:
Better than any post ride cafe
No chance of your car being broken into
Get to watch fat people queuing up for dog meat and chips whilst feeling virtuous
No doggers

Con’s:
No doggers.

Always found this to be a great idea.

I’m tempted to join, but after a 6 months of work stress and a bit of depression last year, and based on the replies so far, I think I’d be the chubbiest in the chub club! 😳

Potential to loose the most though! 😉

Feel like I need to join, cos of chocolate overload through Christmas, but have no way of weighing myself, so I’ll just have to use self-discipline and the mirror!

have no way of weighing myself

Worst. Excuse. Ever.

£3.99 you lazy fat fecker 🙂

Or just ask to try some out in a shop they have them on the shelf, like John Lewis.

Hmm, I only need to do it once a month, so maybe I’ll be able to jump on some at someone elses house. Certainly not buying any!

Don’t let that stop you. You’re among friends here. Not the sort of friends who’d be able to run far for you in an emergency, admittedly, but friends none the less.

And by God the group hug will keep you warm 🙂

I’ve got all the data, and there’s a few seriously underheight folk joined so you’ve nothing to be shy of.

I also think TINAS idea is great – not sure every Monday would work for me but would like to make a few. The worry is that if we all gather in one place, will it affect the tide tables due to the extra gravity? Will Hawley Lake become a new surfing hot spot riding the Monday night boar?

I heard a guy died last time from heat exhaustion.

Bugger I’m a pound heavier than u was yesterday 🙁

I’m a pound heavier than u was yesterday

Hey, you shouldn’t compare yourself to others 😉

Ok, I’m in. Email on the way.

1 month – 3 kg
3 month – 9 kg
6 month – 18 kg

I’m already strava-ing and my fitness pal-ing, so one more way to stay motivated can’t hurt.

Me too…. mail sent…..

Height 5’10

Current Weight – 13 stone 6
1 Month – 13 stone
3 months – 12.5 stone
6 months – 12.5 stone

My issue is after I get to fighting weight I relax, just want to get there and stay there this year.

Best motivation is the thought of failure

greno cool 8)

Those goals look amitious, maybe have something a bit more modest then over achieve ?

I am sure you can cut down a lot on a few obvious things (pasta, spuds, rice / preprepared foods / bad snacks / booze ) and move a bit more. Be realistic.

I’m imagining some of the berms on the blue getting together for therapy afterwards.

grenosteve YHM, not sure what your numbers relate to, and can i havre them in lbs

Harry too – emailed you back as well – is 12.5 12 stone 5 lbs or 12 and a half stone?

AND TO EVERYONE, FOR THE THIRD TIME NOW PLEASE CAN YOU STANDARDISE TO LBS, SAVE ME HAVING TO CONVERT EVERY NUMBER

Based in Woking, Surrey. Would love to join Monday night ride, but wouldn’t make it often due to work and it’s not worth buying lights for the rare occasion I could make it 🙁

Apologies JV, targets clarified and must have missed your point on lbs.
