    12WBT November 2013

    So after losing a good amount at a healthy rate on the February 12WBT this year, I basically haven't lost any more, and have allowed myself to get back into bad habits.

    So I'm doing the next round, and pre-season starts on Monday!!

    Anyone else doing it?

    I'm going to need some support to keep myself honest, and to actually get out there and exercise, etc.

    Who's with me?

    Not interested in the 12wbt but possibly in some exercise sessions

    Most of the recipes are YUM.

    Also, you can customise the meal plan - so you click on the meal you want to change, and you can scoll through other options (alphabetically) to get another, and then it changes your shopping list for you

    Works well or me - I can swap all the workday brekkies for things I can do easily at work (so no huervo rancheros, or baked eggs with carmelised onion!) and I can swap out the meals I won't like (or won't be home for, etc).

    I've loved about 90% of them.

    I need to read through and print out the best of the new recipes.

    My absolute fave so far is the lamb one with the mint and fetta peas, and pureed roast beetroot. Drooooooooooooooool.

    The moderate weight loss one, with some flexibility.

    PN I'm coming up to the end of my round, have lost 5kgs steadily, gotten fitter and still need to lose 4kgs but am happy losing 500g a week. Anyhow just wondering what part you will find helpful doing another round? I'm considering it for round 4 but realistically I have printed off all my plans and recipes so could use them, have eased off forums a bit and even videos although they are an awesome motivator and my training is made up by me, mainly running plus weights so I don't use the plans there.

    Thinking out loud and trying to decide if another round will just solidify my habits and continue losing or if I will be a bit, oh well done it before!?!? Can't remember if that was your first round earlier is year?!!

    I did it in February this year and did really well, but just completely slacked off without the accountability and reminders provided by being in another round.

    So I'm doing this round ... another $200 is a good incentive for me to keep myself accountable!

    I was planning on sticking to it and just using my notes from the first round ... but then DH did the next round, but really didn't stick to it much.

    So I'm doing it again!

    Im thinking of joining. I have been exercising the last 2 months but my eating is still a bit out of control. Do you think it will help? Does it matter after missing preseason?

    n2l, Fernwood has a $20 for 14 days trial pass this month if you want to try it for a couple of weeks.
    I promise you they're awesome gyms. Very supportive and non-judgemental and no meatheads in the weights rack.

    n2l come join my fernwood! We could be exercise buddies if you're planning on going out of hours

    AB yes, as long as you're sensible about it. The preseason stuff is good in my opinion, and if you do it properly you get in the right head space about you goals, healthy choices, what your hurdles are, what your excuses have been previously, etc.

    The meals are mostly good, so you get some tasty and well balanced recipes which are easy to make - meaning you're less likely to make unhealthy choices!

    So give it a go, but keep it healthy and sensible. The whole point is health and not being a particular number on the scales. Low calorie isn't a long term solution, but healthy balanced eating and regular exercise are

    900gm - but that was weighing tonight, instead of this morning. So hopefully more like 2, 2.5 ... ?

    Haven't got to the gym this week yet, because have been way too busy, plus working late.

    And I've got stuff on tomorrow night, Friday night, and a conference all weekend!

    Can't wait for my gym to go 24/7 in a couple of weeks ... !

    Ok I'm in. I've just signed up. I haven't signed up for anything exercise related in about 5 years and I was a lot healthier then! I'm nervous and excited.

    Re: 12WBT November 2013

    Good thing you figured it out!

    It's important to make sure you do get all the calories.

    I have to make sure I don't miss the snacks during the day, otherwise I'm under for calories, and that's just as unhelpful as being over.

    Good work with all the exercise!!

    Hoping this week is less crazy and I can get to the gym a bit more! If not, not to worry - gym is going 24/7 in another week or two. Awesome!!
