Phat Fighters Q4

[J4CKO]

Still 15.2 here, maintaining with no huge effort.

[Crumpet]

87.0kg this morning. Still a downward trend but a slight plateau that I need to break through. It would be nice to think it’s extra muscle that I’ve put on through hard work in the gym but I suspect it’s because my appetite has increased quite a bit recently for some reason.

[ASA569]

Not good news from me I'm afraid. I'm finding it difficult to cut out the bad habits again and there have been a few evenings when crisps have crept back into the diet. Upshot is I'm up 0.5 kg to 72.9. Could have been worse I guess.

Problem is I bought new clothes a couple of weeks ago when I was over a kilo lighter that only just fitted at the time. They are beginning to feel a little bit tight now and I'm worried they will go to the back of the wardrobe if I don't rein myself in. I'm hoping my NE Scotland background of hating wasting any money will motivate me to stop spending on empty calories and get me back down to below 72kg

[Euan94MX5]

I am down to 101.3 this weekend but I am fairly certain the week where I might have 'forgotten' to weigh in will have been bad news, I won't dwell too much and I have a good couple of weeks ahead before Christmas. Fairly sure I won't meet my target but given that this is my first quarter it was plucked out of thin air so I will be happier to set a attainable target for the next one.

[Defcon5]

82kg

This quarter has been a spectacular failure

[oldbanger]

This last week has seen a very sudden family funeral with Irish wake, 2 days at sea to get there and back, and to top it all, a touch of food poisoning. I won’t even look at the scales until next ssskend.

[Smitters]

I'm studiously ignoring the scales, but am slowly improving my food and exercise, so I hope when I step back on for the pre-Christmas weigh in, I'll not be too disappointed. I'd hope to be at least below my starting weight!

[Pieman68]

Put 2lbs on last week and then lost 1 of them this

So current number is 17st 9lbs (112.2kgs)

105 is obviously not going to happen by the end of December but well on the way to my final destination of 100Kgs

[FredAstaire]

Come on folks, final push towards to christmas - hardest time of the year isn't it , shops are full of temptations and plenty of christmas parties etc to distract us.

Give it a final push for the fortnight week, and give yourselves a deserved break over christmas!

Looks like only crumpet with a chance of hitting the quarters target, but lets not let our heads go down.

[ASA569]

I've accepted I'm not going to hit my target this Q and will be rejoining the challenge for next year. However I'm not giving in completely yet and have managed to drop to 72.5 kg this week. I have another week to drop to 72* and then the carnage starts**

*yes I know I said below 71 last week
**and yes I know I could try moderation but the likelihood of that happening is, well frankly, non-existent

[Crumpet]

86.6kg this morning but I’m about to ruin it all with my Christmas bender today! A big push should see 85kg by the end of the year, even with Christmas in the way.

[oldbanger]

I'm afraid I have to get my fat pants back out of the loft. From now until Jan, it's all about damage control.

[Euan94MX5]

I was 100.5kg this morning so I'm hopeful of reaching double figures this week. I'm going to attempt to keep at it with the gym through the Christmas period to try and offset the inevitable. Not sure how successful I will be though

I hear ya on that

I don't know about you but this weather's not helping either as it just makes me want to hibernate and eat rubbish. I've cut up a heap of carrots, celery and cucumber in the hope I'll snack on them instead but a mini stollen just happened to drop into my basket in Aldi yesterday it's crying out to me from the cupboard.

I've also not done any exercise since Thursday which makes it worse - although I did help push one of the neighbour's car up our hill yesterday so that counts I guess

[J4CKO]

Keeping going to the gym, diet has slipped a bit but just trying to not go overboard to limit the work to do in January, will get to 14, have said to the missus I wont be having any booze until I do, I will never hear then end of it if I do so it will be absolute denial until I do so I can have a beer

[Mark Benson]

Just managed to squeeze down to 79kg his morning, meaning a total loss this quarter of......1kg.

I've had bigger poos, frankly.

Lots of eating and drinking planned in the run up to Christmas so I fully expect to put that back on by the big day and then more on top.

Back on in with a vengeance in January I think.

[Smitters]

I just can't get it together at the mo. I seem to fall easily for junk and sweets. Saw 77kg this morning for the first time in about six years. Should have been an alarm bell. Ate toast and small pack of chocolate buttons instead. I need a re-think, so instead of being depressed, I'll bow out now and re-join in Jan.

[Pieman68]

Another 1.5lbs this week - so current weight is at 17stone 7.5lbs (111.6Kgs)

Not going to make my 105Kgs target but that was always a touch optimistic

[bluecab]

When do you start taking names for Q1 2018?

[FredAstaire]

I guess I'll put a thread up in the run up to the 1st of Jan, and will start taking numbers from then.
