Good stuff.

You can always have multiple targets and maintenance phases to help you get there. I'm sure your PT will have it in hand though. 

I dropped from 96kg down to 78kg last year and didn't bother to do a maintenance phase and bounced back upto 85kg.

I then broke my foot and went through some personal stuff in Spring this year and shot back up to where I started from. 

Back down to 82kg a few weeks ago but massively fell off the rails recently and need to get back on it.

A proper rollercoaster!

It's so easy to come off the rails.

I'm out in Dubai for 2 weeks now, working, so I've got to be proper disciplined.

Grrat work.

Have you got a target weight in kind or something specific to aim for? Always find that helps me to break the monotony of it.

Are you planning a maintenance phase once you're done, to help you come out of it and not put the weight back on?

 

Target weight is 77kg cos that's what I was when I got married in 2014.

I may end up heavier because of the gym routine, but thats the target.

I want to look good in a polo shirt and a (max) 33" waist jeans.

My PT is also a sports scientist so he'll be helping me to recalibrate once I've got the weight off.

@NurembergVillan that is fantastic going Rob. Massive well done mate. How have you gone about losing it?

Thanks mate.

Calorie tracking on MyFitnessPal.

Been restricting myself to 1700kcals a day on average with as much of that as possible being protein.

I've been at the gym a couple of times a week most weeks too.

The important thing for me to remember is that calories aren't on a 24 hour timer - it's a rolling thing. So if I want a curry one night I'll have one - but now swap naan for roti - and then be more careful the following day.

Cutting right back on the booze has helped too. I didn't drink much anyway but when it did there'd be crisps and stuff with it too.

Can someone please confirm how to pronounce Castore, as I've only seen it written down.

 

Is it like Castorr,

Or like the Italian Castoray (moon, eyes, pizza pie etc).

Many thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

 

Disastore.

You know.... this guy:

 

 

What do people think of him? 

With all the talk of new badge and branding can we make use of this guy? Not on the badge obviously, but as an image. 

I could see him running across the screens or on the website.   

Dunno really, just think he's an interesting character not really used by the club. 

Or maybe best just consigned to history. 

I prefer him to one of our other historical mascots "Darkie".

Help!

I need to extend the power cable coming out of the PSU of a Samsung soundbar.

The soundbar is model HWS801B. The wire coming out of the PSU into the soundbar isn't long enough and will leave me with the PSU visible on the wall. I just don't know what cable spec I need to order.

The PSU is 59W / 19V with 3.11A output.

I'm alright with wet football shirts but well out of my depth on this one!

Leon looks better on the left?

If his main job is to create chances it makes sense to play him that side. If his main job is to cut inside and score then he stays wide right.

Somebody more cynical than me might suggest that speech was a load of old bollocks randomly thrown together the night before by people that didn’t have access to Chat GPT.

So does this mean we're not getting a northern powerhouse?  

We're going to continue to focus on the Southern Shithouse instead.

There's just something about venues with blue seats being deserted isn't there?

Did you post that at 5-1? Worried that you would have take that result but not the actual result. 

I'd have taken either. I'm not a greedy man.

Bumping this and calling for help!

Turbochefs!

Quidco are doing 30% cashback on the Ninja website for today only so I might take the plunge.

“There has been some media speculation about a potential issue in the football kit supplied by Castore to Aston Villa Football Club."

Think it's a bit more than media speculation, lads

Would have been better if you never told us ffs.....

Now we just want to know!

Que the spurious kit mockups!

Only reason for me mentioning it is that we're under contract and yet this rumour was shared with me before this fiasco.

In all seriousness, could this be a blessing in disguise to help us get out of the deal and get something better while our stock is reasonably high due to our resurgence under Unai?

Yes.

I've heard some rumours about who might be next but, as is the wont of any ITK nobhead, I can't say who it might be. Plus, it's literally a rumour rather than direct info from a brand - if I get that sort of quality ITK I'll share it here first.
