Newbie, first post - How to record starting stats

Hi all,
I’ve been lurking here for a while and atfer a peroid of lazy PE-ing where I’m convinced I’ve seen small gains I’m about to start the newbie routine for real :-) .
So, what advice can you give me about recording my starting stats?
Is there a place on this site where I can record them?
Should I upload a picture or two?
Should I then post an intro in the newbie forum?
Many thanks for any help you can give me.

All the best

Hey Simple Dave. Welcome. I’m a newbie too. FIrst week. This is an awesome sight but you gotta read read read.

That’s at the top of the newbie forum.

Welcome to Thunders, Dave.

To record your stats and progress, you need to get to the PE database. Click quick links on the top right hand page, then PE statistics. Its cake from there.

You can upload pics if you want but it is not required. It is good to take pics to have a visual progress report, or so to say.

You can give your intro in this thread.

Hope it helps

Thanks for the replies,

That’s exactly what I was after, thanks.
I’m having a little bit of trouble with my measurements! Depending on my placement of the ruler and how erect I am, the measurements vary..

When ~90% If I measure along the top and to the left I get ~6” BP, ~6” to the right.
When 100% If I measure along the top and to the left I get ~5.5” BP, ~6” to the right !!
All from looking from above.

I put this down to a slight upward (which I believe is normal) curve and a slight curve to the left.
Anyway I’ve just gone for the middle of the two BPEL @5.75” as I suppose the most important part is being able to measure my progress.

Anyone else experience this type of thing?

PS the spell checker’s cool! ;¬)

The spell checker prevents certain moderators from having to either type everything in word or look like a complete moron.

SimpleDave, I noticed your PE Stats say 4.5” girth while your signature says 4.75”.

1/4” discrepancy in girth is pretty significant, you might want to correct that.

Knowing where you started is very important.

Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve also edited the data to reflect the actual day I plan to start.

Good luck! Your starting stats are exactly where I started.

Dave, if you have a significant curve, I would advise you to straighten it out when measuring.

I can’t believe it’s been more than 3 years and I’ve done nothing to speak of! :-( I’m at my heaviest ever despite last year having competed in some running events including a 1/2 marathon.
1st March = New me! Time to get on the newbie routine, change diet, loses weight, get fit again, and stop with all this porn time wasting shit.

Wish me luck!
