Rab 60 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 I've lost 0.8kg A poor effort by anyone's weights & measures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rab 60 Report post Posted April 5, 2014 Week 3 and a milestone has been achieved! I am now under 15 and a half stone, 15st 6lbs to be exact (97.9kgs). I have now lost 12lbs (5.4kg) in total Mrs fatrab has lost another 4lbs (1.8kg) this week too, bringing her total to 11lbs (5kg) This weeks plan is to cut out the rest of the "bad" foods, I had 2 fry ups and 2 take aways through the week, but had porridge every other morning and some fish as a snack before a proper lunch (meat & veg). I've also agreed to go out walking with a mate who's in training as he's walking the West Highland Way in aid of another charity. So that starts on Tuesday, 3 times a week. Hopefully I can break the 1 stone barrier by next Saturday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 442 Report post Posted April 6, 2014 Hmmm... A Scotsman and his wife walked past a swanky new restaurant.. "Did you smell that food?" she asked. "Incredible!" Being a kind-hearted Scotsman, he thought "What the heck.... I'll treat her!" ... so they walked past it again... Spec K 1 Rab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rab 60 Report post Posted April 11, 2014 In order to give me some support & encouragement to up my game, punish me for my sneaky breakfasts, the occasional kebab and a few pints here and there, my local eatery, Pappy's Traditional Smokehoose, to tie in with their Hamilton restaurant opening, have challenged me to do their Reaper Wings Challenge for charity! https://www.facebook.com/pappyswishaw?fref=ts It involves eating 8 of the hottest wings on the planet! Then sitting for 10 minutes without touching a nice cold glass of milk which they place in front of you just for added torture. If anyone is going to be near Hamilton next weekend please come along and support me and Macmillan. I'll post details as soon as the date and time are set ....... I tasted the sauce used to make these last weekend and it is tasty but the after burn is like nothing I have ever experienced in my life! The toilet roll will be in the fridge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 442 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 ...and with the inevitable "clearout" after those wings it'll be at least another kilo off... Doh! I'll be ruined...! I'm doomed... Spec K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rab 60 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 Lol didn't have anyone available to hold the phone while we did it, apologies for the poor quality, plus it was really dark inside ....... I'm just making excuses for my poor effort and commitment! Keith. There is an atom bomb in my pants. The wings going inbound is nothing compared to the experience at the other end this morning Parts 2 & 3 here: Jan & Rab Reaper Wing Challenge Part 2 Jan & Rab Reaper Wing Challenge Part 3 Because we both completed the challenge, Pappy's will treat a different local family each month who are affected by cancer to a slap up meal f.o.c. and they are also going to contact our local newspaper to announce an official charity event which Jan and I have been invited to come back and take part in. Massive respect to Auld Pappy I also have to say well done to Jan who ate the wings as if they were coated in yoghurt! Cool as a cucumber Mrs W xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rab 60 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 Oh, btw, I didn't loose anything this week, but that's hardly surprising since I weighed in this morning after my feast last night! System not fully flushed out yet. It stings man, IT STINGS!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rab 60 Report post Posted April 26, 2014 15st 3lbs again! I've stalled, HELP!!!??? This week I've had no beer, 1 kebab (bbq chicken), no fry ups. The occasional biscuit/cake though ... On a sort-of plus note I have set up a Justgiving page! Kind of makes it feel a bit more official now so hopefully that will give me a big push this week! https://www.justgiving.com/fatrab This weeks shopping list: Green Tea Organic fruit & veg Corn fed chicken Nuts This weeks exercize regime: Walk to/from work each day Swimming Tuesday & Thursday Cycling Monday & Wednesday night Any tips or words of encouragement warmly accepted at this stage folks, I feel like I'm failing......

Special K 442 Report post Posted April 26, 2014 Rob.... you've reached the middle phase. You've lost the 'easy meat' - nonbound lipids readily convertible into instant energy - and now you've got to start unbinding the longer-term lipids. This is when mind over matter counts.. Chicken is so booooooring! Nowt wrong with a bit of venison, plain grilled.. I see no fish, my friend - and I don't mean the chipshop variety, I mean whitefish poached in fat-free milk .. panfried or grilled in a smear of olive oil mebbe.. a green side salad with a dash of balsamic... and a small portion of plain boiled rice (instant energy and no lasting carbohydrates) infused with a smidgeon of your beloved piri-piri dressing.. .... find a local Thai restaurant and treat yourself to a bowl of Thai Tom Yum... ask for it 'pet' (spicey hot).. you almost never see an obese Thai.. Get rid of the nuts. If you like dates go for them instead.. Medjoul are my preference.. It's taken me 40 years of selfless dedication to keep my svelte, lithe, nine stone weakling body... it helps that I can't keep my wife's cooking down... C'mon! You can do it....
