A slightly delayed Fat Club report today due to me spending most of my allocated blogging time yesterday messing about with my ukulele. I’ve discovered a number of Ben Folds songs on Chordie that I’m having a lot of fun mangling.
Unfortunately I’ve been thrashed in the contest yet again this week, this time by my own wife who lost an astounding 6lb. Kerry did ask me to point out that she feels her 1lb loss last week was actually 2lb short of the real mark, and so this weeks total is artificially skewed. But still, six pounds is six pounds.
My own paltry one pound loss is rather disappointing. Sure, I went to my sister’s wedding on the weekend and stuffed my face with various unhealthy foodstuffs; but I also walked 25 miles over three mountains in one day damnit.
I’m hoping next week will be better.
Here’s the table:
| Name | Weekly lb loss | Total lb loss | Position |
| Ian (Single Parent Dad) | 2lb | 9lb | 1st |
| Kerry | 6lb | 7lb | 2nd |
| Dan (All That Comes With It) | 1lb | 5lb | 3rd |
| Catherine (Some Vague Utopia) | 1lb | 3lb | 4th |
| Erin (The Fierce Beagle) | 0lb | 2lb | 5th (joint) |
| Barbara (JoBart) | 2lb | 2lb | 5th (joint) |

You’ve nearly lost a stone between you in two weeks, that’s superb. I think I am going to find it tough to shift this last 1/2 stone. And I am hoping to balance out my weight loss now. I’m at the top end of where I would like to be.

@SingleParentDad, a stone between us. does that mean we win?
At least we’ll use less petrol anyhow.

Muscle is heavier then fat. All that walking must have built some muscle. I absolutely guarantee that this disappointment is a temporary blip and you’ll have a big loss next week.

@Steve, not convinced by that argument, but I’ll take it anyway.

Ok, so this week I’m going to try some exercise. Although I am a bit worried about the muscle being heavier than fat information. I won’t try too hard.

@Barbara, perhaps just some light remote control flicking

I’m either going to go swimming tonight or walk up a Scottish mountain tomorrow morning (after a swim).
Sod it. I’m going to swim and walk up a mountain this weekend.
@Oli, blimey. I hope you’re going to swim in the sea not some poncy heated pool.

Brilliant you lot. And ‘Go Kerry, go Kerry,” :D

@Jo Beaufoix, indeed “go Kerry” go!”.
Although also “Slow down Kerry, slow, so you don’t beat your husband”

Combined, you two are in the lead. Wahoo!

@Seattledad, That is very true!
In your face Ian! the Hughes are the master race.
.-= Dan´s last blog ..Fat Club: Week Two =-.
These are all still pretty good figures! Despite your wedding binge :)
Remember muscle is heavier than fat too!

I agree – I think the amount of muscle you must be piling on is a definitie handicap. Perhaps you should do a league table based on BMI?
A pound is still a step in the right direction. Bet Ian is loving his position! Kerry is putting him under pressure though. There is still time for him to falter!

The conditions which make it the right time to conduct a prescribed burn, are the same conditions that make it dangerous for you. ,
