Ok guys, I've held off for a while because every time I've tried, I've failed. I would like to make a request. I  would like to get some new sports equipment for the kids. Funds are so low at the moment and I know the school would make great use of anything raised.

I'm aiming to lose seven stone in weight, I have lost 51.5 lb so far (3stone 9.5lb) If I reach my target, then and only then will you have to pay the sponsorship. I know ther e is a million other worthy causes to raise money for however this is something that directly affects my family so indirectly affects me :)

Anyone wishing to donate can add to this thread.

Stick me down for a tenner.  Will the kids not have left school by then though  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr >:(

 ;D Thanks fella  ;)

Put me down for a score.

Good going so far mate. You following a particular diet?

Put me down for a tenner also Rob.
Geoff

Good on you Rob put me down for a tenner ;)

Good luck with the weight loss, Rob. Put me down for twenty pounds.

Geoff

Sure thing Rob put me down for a tenner ;)

£10 for me too Rob.

That's very generous of you guys, the school has had to absorb another school this year, council are cutting right left and centre.

Midastouch I am on Slimmingworld plus I am attending the gym regularly. Many of the longer term members will remember me at the begginning of the year, barely being able to walk more than a 100 yards. I am now hill speed walking/jogging and running between 30 mins and 60 mins a day - as well as weightlifting and swimming.

My spinal arthritis is a distant and faded memory with what I would class as a 90% improvement with hardly any painkillers anymore.  :)

great news there Rob, looking forward to seeing the new slimline you on the next dig.

keep up the good work, you'll soon be the next addition to nobby's boyband!  ;D ;D

GOOD LUCK ROB PUT ME DOWN FOR 10 SQUID

Well done Rob, put me down for 12.5 Euro's, good luck......

Cheers guys, much appreciated. I will keep you up to date with what I lose as I go :D

Well done & good luck fella, stick me down for a tenner.

*Update*

Another 2lb loss this week. So I have now hit the 4 stone loss mark. Not sure I'll make the 7 stone loss target by Christmas but I will give it my best shot :D

4 Stone, bloody hell !!!, well done on you fella, bet you can detect a lot longer now and dig holes easier ;)

Oh yes!  Thats when I get a chance to go out. Still we got a rally Sunday so fingers crossed I will be at that one.

ps Congrats on the 1000 post mark  :D

Quick update on the weight loss, I've now lost 4 stone 5 1/2 lb   (61.5 lbs)

Slowed up quite a bit but still going quite well.

Thanks to those that have sponsored me to reach 7 stone loss :)

Ah that explains it, I've been putting on weight lately, it must be the weight that you've lost. Wait until I tell my wife that it's your
fault, you'll be in for one hell of a ear bashing  ;D ;D

Oh dear Dryland the wrath of a woman. I'd rather face an army of marauding Vikings :D

 ??? ??? ;D ;D

Getting there  ;D  1 stone 2 lb 2 go

Well done Rob and it just goes to show what you can achieve by eating nothing else but Cheddar at least I'm guessing that's how you did it going by the massive cheesy grin on your face ;D

Well done Taff! Where's the before picture? I could do with some inspiration to lose the lard myself  :)

Well done Rob, who is that person in the photo ?  ;D

Nice one Rob, my £10 still there for you, and, as I'm here eating belly pork, it's now up to £15 for a boost. I'm sure you will get there very soon. Good luck.
