2009 Mid year Body Transformation Challenge

[Tinks]

Me too, Are you going to measure monday or tonight?

I will measure in tomorrow morning I think. I'll just be starting a couple of days behind hte others. Hopefully I won't put on too much weight this weekend lol

[Trillian]

Everyone who has sent me pms or emails so far I have them and have put them onto a spreadsheet. Around the tummy is fine, just so long it is consistent like CM said. It will be fine to get them to me in the morning as these ones are more of a baseline to start with and everything will be calulated off that.

Looking forward to losing weight with you ladies. I have sent off my PM so I am all set to go!!

[Cougar]

i think i might have to join you ladies, try asnd measure tonight, or i will tomorrow

[kas]

Yep, i think i will join in too. I will try to get details emailed tonight, if not i will first thing tomorrow morning.
Now i really need to start walking in the morning whilst hubby gets ready for work...have been thinking about it whilst laying in bed...does that count????
Here's to some stronger, healthier and fabulous looking women in the next 12 weeks!

I'm keen to join as well. I've sort of started going to the gym and this will give me some motivation to continue. I need to get fit and lose a bit for skiing later in the year. I will e-mail my measurements later tonight or in the morning.

I'll be doing this again, see if I can lose some more . Will email either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Don't forget that you need to have your first lot of results to me by tomorrow night to be added to the thread on Wednesday (but I wont be online till late Wednesday, so if a few of you are late it's ok ) I can't wait to see how well you have all done so far! And don't worry about the weight - put the scales away and only bring them out once each week. Some of you may not notice a huge difference on the scales, but your measurements will still be vitally important. Also your weight will fluctuate a little each week depending on where you are in your cycle and how much fluid you retain etc.

The results are in!!! I have updated the first post with all your results for this week. I decided to drop the amount lost from each week and only post the percentage and centimeters lost and just do a total loss at the end so that you don't feel disheartened by what you do or don't lose each week as some of you may not have lost any %, but you lost cm's, so I think that's a better way to show the results over the course of the challenge.

But either way we have all done awesomely!!!! Well done to all of us and I think we all deserve a pat on the back for our efforts!

I will also put in my signature the weekly challenge so if you don't see it in here, you will see it about the place in my sig. Now you don't have to do this, at all, but it's just something to keep you motivated and a direction to focus on for the week.

So this week's challenge will be to take your favourite recipe and make it low fat, or as low fat as you can get it! Have fun experimenting in the kitchen with your fave dish and make it into something you have still enjoy, not something you have to cut out.

PS, I have also cleared my inbox for pms LOL. Sorry about that!

Good job ladies; i just looked at the results!!

ooo evil woolies jaspen, did they have it right near the registers...i always see that, a huge chocolate bin right near the express line lol

I hope you get well soon sas and get back on the wagon so to speak hehe although i kinda had a piece of white chocolate mudcake at a bbq the other night which i found out has like 600 calories in one slice argh. On the same page re clothes tho, i have the mindset i dont want to spend all this money on a new wardrobe when im just going need new ones after losing weight hmm now to the losing weight part ...

AFM: Looking forward to these weekly challenges...I got onto taste.com.au and you can do a search on recipies i put in low fat low carb and found a lot of yummy ideas, so am trying out those at the moment.

Im hoping to get up earier in the mornings and do an hour or so on the wii fit ... key word HOPING. Its been way too damn cold lately!
