The sound of a man that says screw it on a friday night! Weigh in is not for 7 days! Love it! We are harsh in our house, Weigh in is a monday morning!

Wish I could do that, the thought of no treats on a weekend would kill me though. Not the same having a takeaway on a Monday

Come on, you know you want to, you be fitter, leaner, healthier, I have no doubt your golf will improve, you may even get rid of some of the aches and pains you have, as you'll be carrying less weight around.

Late to the party...but I just started this not seeing the thread

Few days ago after a birthday weekend in Bruges (beer chips and chocolate) I was the heaviest I've ever been in my life 16st 6.2lbs

I tend to yoyo, for example when I went on hols in the summer (departure date) I was 15st 1.6lbs

So far so good - I am 16st 2lbs this morning and just walked 9 holes!

For me its wine thats the killer....not so much the wine calories but wine = kettle chips or cheese!
 
Im in.....will get weight details etc over the weekend.
Hasn't helped the diet with last week in Germany and a week coming up in Spain, but will kick start it soon.
Still haven't eaten any chocolate, crisps, biscuits or sweets for over a week which are normally my Achilles heel foods, so happy there.

Okay I've got series of graphs sorted in Excel on my PC I suggest the following metrics, add your data to as many or as few as you want, depending on your goals. If losing some fat is you goal then a starting weight is required, if you're just after a general tone up, then perhaps the 4 body measurements would be the way to go.

If anyone wants another goal tracking than let me know and I'll add it in.

So the metrics I have graphs for are :-

Weight - (kg or lbs, your choice, as long as you use the same through out)
% Body Fat - (if you have a set of scales that tells you your body fat% or if you can get to a machine that will measure body fat)
Neck - (Take measurement in CM)
Chest - (Take measurement in CM)
Waist - (Take measurement in CM)
Hip - (Take measurement in CM)

Weight 15st 7lb
% Body Fat 35.6%

Bugger! Forgot to do the measurements before coming to Spain....
Will do the Thursday/Friday when I get back ( no doubt heavier looking at the food out here!!)
 
Weight - 87.7kg
% Body Fat - 30.1
BMI -27.6
Neck - 15.5"
Chest - 41"
Waist - measured at 39" but I wear 36" trousers. I got where to measure from this you tube video saying the waist is measured at the natural crease line when you bend to the side. For me that's just above the belly button, but I'm not Simon Cowell and wear my trousers lower!

Hip - 41.5"

I feel like a right fat b**rd:o
 
With the First weigh in and what you could say is the official start of the challenge, program or call it what you will, you may find this website useful

My Fitness Pal it also has an app for smart phones if you have one. It lets you keep track of your exercises (If you're doing any), you meals, calorie counter etc...
 
Come the start another useful way to measure you progress would be to take a full length selfie, front on and side on, take the same shots on the first of each month, then come next year the before and after should be, as long as you've stuck with it, chalk and cheese.
