2009 Mid year Body Transformation Challenge

[Trillian]

How does the Mid Year Body Transformation Challenge 2009 Work?

The challenge is split into two parts:
1. Percentage of weight lost
2. Total centimetres lost
3.This challenge will run for 12 weeks.

So we are looking at a challenge to shed unwanted weight, but also to gain some fitness: the best way to lose cms is to exercise!

What do you need to do:
1. Get motivated and have a plan!
2. Get yourselves your bathroom scales and tape measure ready!
3. PM or email me your current weight and measurements. (Please note that these will be 100% confidential.)
3. Start eating healthily and taking more exercise
4. Watch the results come in.....

Results will be posted weekly, on a Wednesday. All of your weight and measurement figures need to be pm'd or emailed to me by Tuesday night to be included. Actual weight and measurements will not be posted. I will only post weight, %'s and cm's lost.

Please weigh yourself in KG's, and measure, in cm's, bust, waist and hips. (So you will be sending me 4 figures each week) When you email me, please remember to let me know your username!

There is no set 'diet' for this challenge - just do whatever plan or diet works best for you. Some will perfer a set diet or plan, others will prefer healthy eating and cutting out the junk.

Each week your results will be added to this post and this will be carried over to each new thread that is started.

Hey there. Can I just clarify something I wasn;'t sure of last time. The cms lost are from the bust, waist and hips. Is the waist the tummy (around the belly button) or the smallest part. I just found that confusing. My waist doesnt really change but I really need to lose some from my tummy!

[AliBaby]

When does it officially start?

[Turkish Delight]

I've sent my measurements to you via email Trillian, should we start tomorrow.

[Muffy]

I will do all my measurements tonight and get them in.

[The[cookie]Doctor]

Ladies it starts tomorrow.

The CMs question, it doesnt matter where you measure as long as it is the same place consistently.

When does this start?

[sas85]

You sure can!

As they said to me, this week's stats are more for a basis, for us to go on. It would as of next week (next tuesday) that it would make a difference!

Drinking water is a hard one for me too. Think of this saying throughout the day..

The more i drink, the more i shrink

[ktgirl]

How has the morning been so far ladies?

Sas85 I am sure that will be fine to put your measurements in today. Glad you could join us.

I am feeling a little sore today. I started a bootcamp on Monday. Pap I hear your pain mine starts at 5:30am I haven't done much exercise for quite some time and when I did it was only walking so I am not very fit. I have sore muscles from Monday and then today I get there and we had to do a fitness test so that meant the dreaded beep test oh lordy was I stuffed. Hopefully in 6 weeks time I will be able to beat my dismal score from today. Picking up twins all day with sore muscles is no fun... but it will be worth it when I see some results from this.

I just had morning tea - low fat yoghurt and grapes so I am proud I have not given into bikkies for morning tea!!

How is everyone going with the water drinking?

[Cupcake]

ohhh i do not envy you ktgirl; i HATE the beep test with a passion! Hehe. That sure is dedication doing boot camp at 5:30am.

Am loving that saying Turkish! Seriously thinking about typing it out and sticky taping it to the top of my computer screen at work hehe!

Not sure what way im going to go on my weightloss journey. There is a gym opening around the corner from my house which i (and DP) have joined but it doesnt open for 3 weeks!! Playing netball once a week in a social league and cutting out junk food at the moment! As well as walking our two big dogs most nights. Fingers crossed i get some results. Also joined calorie king to document my calorie intake, that should help!! Anyway ... have a great day girls!

[Cougar]

just did a 30 minute pilates dvd, for the bum hips and thighs, and having my diet yoghurt for morning tea, so far so good

[ktgirl]

Amy it sounds like you have a great plan with plenty of physical activity there! I bet you will see some great results

Chrissy well done on the pilates

Turkish I love that saying, thanks for sharing!!

I have just finished a 1.5l bottle of water so i am going to go and get another one out of the fridge now and try and get through that during the afternoon.

[The[cookie]Doctor]

Oooooh I am so excited I did a nice healthy shop yesterday and remembered how good it feels to get walking.

Df has decided to join me too, unfortunately I hate this tiny town and its' lack of facilities and resources but will make do with what we have. Which is a lot of cold weather but I'll rug up bub before we head out tonight for a walk.

I did my measurements last night and just weighed this morning, having a terror day with DS, sorry Trillian will email you soon!

I am a big water drinker normally but the town water here is disgusting and it only tastes 'OKAY' when chilled... and it's difficult drinking chilled water in the current weather. Might have to get a big 15L container again.

A good one for water if you are a worker is to drink a glass every hour... Then you have your eight glasses down before you even get home. Another one I have heard (better for the SAHP) is to set an alarm and let it snooze, everytime it goes off having a drink of water... it's annoying but a good way to get into the habit if you arent already! I just need a pump bottle next to me all the time!

Anyway, I got my wiifit out this morning, not sure if i will start using it again, i think it takes more time than it is worth, but i like the accuracy of the scales as compared with my old conventional ones .

Ok have to dash for now, good luck!

Calorie King is excellent. You actually pay to use this service elsewhere but it is absolutely free on the CK website.

I must admit i had a few rows of chocolate last night as i had a huge craving, but no more anymore.

I'm on Lite n Easy atm and it is great and so easy.

I'll be heading to the gym tonight as i feel really guilty for not going last night. I usually go 4-5 times a week. Somedays i hate going, but when i start working out and the sweat falls, i feel so much better.

I just had about a litre of water since this 8am. I keep a 1.25l Pump bottle on my desk and drink constantly which then = peeing constantly.

[Vixstar]

I love water....but strangely enough wont drink it when I am sick...go figure!

I keep a big 2L bottle of water on my kitchen bench and try and drink all of it befoe dinner (5/6pm) so then I am not up all night peeing. I hate...loath chilled water. Tooooo cold! lol

Okay, turning puter off so I move more to lose more!
