Have to totally agree with your dismissal of the earlier "it's too cold or whatever to go out and do stuff" stylee comment tho. As Ye Olde Bike is my only form of transport, it gets used for a good few miles most days come what may.

Hey all - is it too late to join in on here? Been lurking around the thread for a while and thought I would finally make myself known :) as I went to my first WW weight in tonight. 1.5lbs off. Now for the other 6stone! lol. Ah well. I'm aiming for about 2.5stone off by Glasto. On top of the weightwatchers thing, walking around 2.7 miles a day and going to Zumba classes once or twice a week - if nothing else it gives me some wicked moves to bust out in front of the Pyramid stage, I'll show Beyonce what's what I will!

Anyway, hark at me waffling. Many apologies! :)

Always room for a another one :-)

I've done 13.5 lb so far this year , so back down to where I was by Glasto last year, and before I broke my foot :-( last summer and the good loss last year stopped due to no exercise .... 2 stone left to go and hopefully be close to goal by June this year :P

keep it up everyone :D

I have to say, you may think Zumba may look awful, but Zumba plus WeightWatchers has led to losing 6lbs in two weeks, so I can't complain! Haha. It also really does make a difference to you - I have less jiggle already, which is nice. Clothes are fitting better that kind of thing. Next weigh in is tomorrow night so fingers crossed the trend continues, and the goal weight of 2-2.5 off by Glasto will be more than attainable! 2lbs this week. Fingers crossed.

Hope your weigh in this morning went ok cejx!

Haven't been here much glad to see we have a bevvie of paople still trying to get fitter for Glasto, I am stuck! Haven't lost (or gained which is a positive) any weight now for 4 weeks...Can your body get used to what you eat or something? I have joined a gym so swimming and doing a couple of classes and some step/treadmill each week is it really true muscle weighs more than fat or is that just an old wives tale? Someone tell me something positive please? 6 Stone 2.5lb lost another 13.5lb to go...

hey not really got into this thread this year but i've lost just over a Stone since crimbo, and hopefully going to lose another half before glasto, but i'll be happy as long as i don't put the stone back on, lots of gym work and playing american football, great for turning body mass into muscle but a pain for losing weight

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
