Teak Door Members - A Bunch Of Losers

**chitown** · 22-02-2008, 09:48 PM

The thread title speaks volumes, right? It got you to come here and that was my intention!

Its not what you are thinking though!!

I have thought for a long time to start a weight loss thread here at Teak Door and see how many members want to get involved and see who could lose the most weight. Obviously it is up to you to be honest about the weight that you have lost.

Anyone want to join me in getting healthier so can we enjoy Thailand for many years to come??

Where's my prize??

**chitown** · 22-02-2008, 09:55 PM

I have already been losing for the past year. I have lost 51 pounds already. I am 6'4 and used to power lift and never really cared about a gut or anything, but now I do.

I am at 117 kilograms now (257 pounds for my fellow Americans) and want to get to 105 kilograms which is 231 pounds.

So if you want to join me then post your weight in kilos and pounds and keep us updated on your progress.

you can also share with us your diet changes and what you are doing to work up a sweat!

No prize, just a thread to keep us "losers" pumped up about losing weight!!

Unless DD wants to sponsor a prize........DD are you there????

I'll play Khun Chit but need to find a scale first.

A year ago, a scale at Big C convinced me that enough was enough and that is when I started losing!

Find one and drop a baht in it and get back to us!

**chitown** · 22-02-2008, 10:01 PM

Not sure if there has ever been a thread like this here before and did not bother searching.

I am sure Marmite can dig one up for me from 12 years ago

but until then this is the newest one!

I'm trying to go the other way though. I was 104kg/229 pounds but got that down to a healthier (for my height, 6ft) 95kg/209 pounds. Sudden change in lifestyle with the arrival of my boys as seen me plummet though. First day back in the gym today since their birth! Ouch, I'm sore

Anways best of luck with your efforts, as I'm sure you'll already know a lot's diet. What are you doing now, weights and cardio or cardio alone?

**Gerbil** · 22-02-2008, 10:02 PM

I'd like to put a bit of weight on if that helps.

Right now I am doing about 1 1/2 hours with weights.

AI bike in a group class an hour in the morning and and hour in the evening. It is pretty intense and at the end I can wring the sweat out of my clothes!

**AntRobertson** · 22-02-2008, 10:10 PM

^Those bike classes look pretty intense. Not tried it myself but they seem very popular at my gym.

**chitown** · 22-02-2008, 10:12 PM

^ it has been the thing that has caused me to shed the weight. If you choose a bike in the back of the class there is plenty of incentive to pedal fast as well!! I am the only guy in the class

You're supposed to be watching your pulse rate and rpm's you filthy bastard!

**Marmite the Dog** · 22-02-2008, 10:46 PM

I need to lose about 20kgs, but I really need a training partner who is going to drag me away from this fucking computer and make me do something. I am able to start from the beginning of March, but I'm not interested in spending loads at a posh/expensive gym.

Anyone in the Lad Prao or Sukhumvit areas know of a cheap gym and willing to kick my lardy arse?

**dirtydog** · 22-02-2008, 10:49 PM

I saw dj pat a couple of weeks ago, he's looking damn fit, join his gym.

**AntRobertson** · 22-02-2008, 10:50 PM

^If motivation's your problem best bet might be to slash out on a personal trainer for a couple of months Marmite. The trouble with training partners is that it often just means twice the excuses.

After that time with a PT you should be in the swing of it and going for the enjoyment of it.

MtD, just join a gym and you will find plenty of partners at the gym. Many of my friends met ladies at the gym and they are now work out partners - in and out of the gym!

Besides, wouldn't it be better to smell sweet perfume than a sweaty jock strap from your workout partner!

**Marmite the Dog** · 22-02-2008, 11:38 PM

I just fear that I simply won't go unless kidnapped.

**Propagator** · 23-02-2008, 12:07 AM

I'll Join you as well. Being a short arsed old git, 5ft 7in and weighing in at 80 Kg or 177 lbs, would like to lose about 7 kg. I know some of the weight will go during the summer due to the nature of my work. During winters in the UK I have much more time to cook stews and other fatty stodge stuff which I love. However in the summer when working as much as 12 to 14 hrs in the gardens, walking many miles behind the lawn mower per day, I do tend to lose a bit, but not enough.

**jizzybloke** · 23-02-2008, 12:51 AM

I have been on a self imposed diet since coming back from Thailand, i'm 6' and did tip the scales at 110k when i came back

My scales are fecked now too so i don't know what i am now.
I used to go to the gym 4 or 5 times a week but injury and work stopped me, i tried going back but now feel the same as Marmite, the thought of going to the gym fills me with dread and boredom but i do actually enjoy it when i get there!

**AntRobertson** · 23-02-2008, 12:56 AM

Aye, the 'Gym Paradox'. I know exactly what you mean.

**Hootad Binky** · 23-02-2008, 01:27 AM

Great idea. Better weigh myself to get started!

Actually I just got over the sore throat/cold/flu thing that's been going around, and got a good start from not having an appetite for a week.

Forget Jenny Craig! If I ran my own weight-loss franchise, I'd just inject clients with the flu

works for me...

Also, using a bicycle for your morning commute, rain or shine, gives you that daily 30 min of cardio/aerobic without the expense of a fitness club or the costs of running, servicing or parking an automobile, and it looks like gasoline will hit $1.50 CAN by summer...

Ireally think that's the way to do it. Without a training partner I would have never made it to the gym.

**MeMock** · 23-02-2008, 02:10 AM

Do they have personal trainers in Bkk?

I mean ones that will meet you at your house and drag you out kicking and screaming for a run etc?
