no it doesn't automatically change the shopping list if you change meals around
I'm not 100% following the meals, not enough meat, foods on my "not allowed" list in most meals, too much processed stuff. So I take meals I've enjoyed in the past and totally massacre them to fit within the range of foods that is healthy for me.
RB you can pick gluten free meals from the recipe lists.
Our group's 8 week milestone was to go trampolining which was a blast!
Yup, that's correct - you'll need to do your shopping list manually.
But frankly, I always have to do that anyway, to check I'm not buying stuff I've already got, to cut out ingredients from meals where I'm eating out, and to change the breakfasts around.
Almost all the brekkies are things which either don't interest me, or aren't practical given that I leave the house around 6am and either eat brekky on the train or at work!!
But the program on whole works well :)
I've lost 15kg and counting, and we're not even at the end of Round 1 :)
I reckon I will skip the next round though - but I haven't decided for certain. I reckon that I can repeat enough of the recipes and keep trying to get to the gym as often as possible, keep up with people here, etc without signing up for the next round officially.
The mindset stuff is good and helpful (and frankly, it's so much more doable to watch a couple of videos a week than trying to read books or source and peruse and ventilate research etc) but I've got enough to ponder and continue with right now.
When I start to plateau, it will be time to head back!
Great work PN! I found skipping a round no good for me b/c I hadn't changed my mindset enough and there wasn't enough accountability on my own. I didn't gain any weight back but I stopped losing. Sounds like you are doing well and should continue on your own!
I did a workout online via utube yesterday. It's called 1,000 calorie workout or something along those lines. OMG nearly died it was full on!
I'm not going to do this coming round, I might do R3.
I am doing menu planning anyway with foods I can eat etc. I'm attempting to juggle work, uni, study, friends & a new relationship, so my exercise is when I can and now I'm back working in town I can go back to walking home twice a week via the gym & from work to uni the other 3 days a week. I train with a group of girlfriends every Saturday morning and will start heading back to the gym on weekends.
I've signed up for round 2. I still have a long way to go on the mindset stuff, and I want to lose another 10kg. I guess I find a certain level of accountability in paying for the program, plus I love the videos and the ease of that recipe index when we want to choose our own meal.
I am on the forums (I assume the rounds are kept separate, correct me if I am wrong). Struggling to know where I fit, especially in the age brackets being 40, I feel like I belong in both, but then at the same time don't. The "I want to be fit and fab before 40" statements sting, but then I am not dealing with menopausal stuff either :dunno:
I am really looking forward to the mindset stuff. Even though I know I am doing this, I still cannot seem to get off my behind.
It's ok Astrid I'm meant to fit into the 20s group and I really don't :( Considering joining in with the 30s group and just being a daggy tag along :lol:
The 20s groups are kinda meh. I just love my 30+crew. I cant keep up with the forums. They are so badly designed I don't find them user friendly at all. And I feel rejected when you post something you think is worthy and get no replies etc just because of the sheer volume of posts each day.
I don't like the forum design either. I clearly love participating in forums, but I feel very overwhelmed in the 12wbt one. Wish there was a tapatalk one lol
One forum is enough for me!! So I just BB ;)
Yup I posted for local participants, no reply but new threads asking the same thing and posted goals and no reply. Bit disheartening when I put the effort in to reply to the things I read (even if it takes me a few hours).
So who's doing round 2 this time?? :)
Not me.
I'm going to re-do this one again.
If I lose half as much as I have this time, I will be a happy lady :)
I am :)
PN, I bet you will :D
Me! I'm tripletmama on there
I am signed up - my first round.
Sadly though I am being slack with my preseasons tasks. Limited internet at home makes it hard to watch videos without DH cracking it about someone draining the bandwidth :rolleyes:. I need to toughen up and tell him to deal with it!
Yah Astrid!!!!!
I'm not signing up this next round, I'm currently living between two houses & studying, life is insane at the moment. Will wait until the following round, when my life has calmed down a bit. The step-kids will just have to deal with the food when they are at their dad's place, coz I'm not making different food for them, if they don't like it they can make their own! I will still be cooking from some of the menus, exercising regularly etc.
Im signed up. I too dont feel right in the 20s group. Im 29 in may anyway lol
