Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Hmmm confession and new commitment time. I fell off the wagon and put on about 9lbs, not sure why. Back on it now and am 18st and 5/8ths this morning, making progress. Still committed to the long term 14st goal. I have just started the 100 press ups a day charity challenge for GOSH. Doing them in 25s as I can’t do 100 in one go! 50 done today already 👍 Not sure if posting fund raising is ok on here so won’t for now. Really want to get my seat sorted, so roll on 17.5 stone! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others have, as long as it is for a really worthwhile charity. If you do set up a funding link I'm happy to chuck a tenner in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu, I urge you to investigate and try intermittent fasting combined with a healthy keto diet, honestly the weight falls off mate! I'm down from 17½ to 15 and will be 14 stones odd for the first time in 25 years by the end of next week if not by Monday. Plenty on YouTube about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If life in general and reaching our goals in particular was just one smooth, straight road (with tarmac laid by the Germans) ... we'd all be sitting by the pool with Elon Musk wondering what the expression "set back" even meant. Somehow life ain't like that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 I’ve been keeping this going, up to 2670 now, just 30 more to do today. Then only 4 more days to go but I think it will try to carry it on if I can. Overall sponsorship is now over £200 which is fab 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 Job done! 3150 done in the 31 days in the end, mainly down to doing 150 today. I was determined to manage two sets of 50 by the end of the challenge but caved in at 45 on my first set today, but then did manage two more fifties and a five, despite some rather wobbly arms at the end 🤣🤣. Thanks for the contributions, JustGiving link below for anyone feeling generous for this excellent cause. Overall we’ve raised over £100k which is fantastic 👍👍 https://www.justgiving.com/page/stuart-davis-1689537256471?utm_source=copyLink&utm_medium=one_page&utm_content=page/stuart-davis-1689537256471&utm_campaign=pfp-share&utm_term=b6c48d3cc2034dc39c992aa29d8e96a2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
