Am weighing in tomorrow to SHOCK myself... hmm wonder if i lost from last week at all.
Eep. Bit nervous.:
I'm ready for tomorrow. I've had an average week, had a headache hanging around, think my neck is playing up. Got a few walks in, nothing consistent though. See how we fare tomorrow!
Early walk with Kate tomorrow.... can't wait.. long walk.. going to time it.. see how we go...
Ok o think I stuffed up my measurements. Just measured my arm and it's 33cms oO
5cm in 6 days is a little not possible!!
Hi guys. I was just wondering when the challenge ends? I really need to join something but think it may be a bit late for this challenge? Is there going to be another one do you think?
Originally i started it as the summer challenge with a goal for X-Mas but am hoping to keep this going until the End of Feb and then i might just see if we can keep seasonal ones open :)
I've had a loss :dance: 95.3 :dance: hoping the rain stays away so i can get in a walk this morning.
Do we PM our loss (or in my case maybe gain.. havent been game to jump on scales yet!!!) or do we just post it???
I'm still a bit buys with the updates so if Traveller is still happy to do it for me woudl be great otherwise until i get in order we could post it.
I've stayed the same, so I won't fill a spot in your inbox with that Traveller! But I'm happy that the 2.5 I've lost hasn't come back over Christmas. Now to get it moving again!
Well done ZF!
Helle - That's a super shrinking arm you've got there!
Well i have yo-yo'd again and gained the kilo i lost, so i am back to 79... but i suppose that could have soemthing to do with the lack of excercise this week- back into it now!!! I am going to get 2kg this week!!!!
Also AF is due this week- do you guys find any thing changes weight wise with er much?? Other than the gain from eating chocolate ?????
Starbright- i usually find i lose less or just maintain when af arrives, not helped by the fact i seem to be having 2 afs each month lately! Must go and get that checked out actually!
Congrats to everyone who has done well this week!
Oops, well I completely forgot to weigh in! Will have to do it tomorrow sorry...
I did manage to get to the gym today though so feeling great! I can't believe how much it improves my mood and the amount of energy I have. I did a 4k ride, 40 min strength session, 1k crosstrainer and then the first half of a zumba class, the instructor wasn't the normal one though and was complete rubbish! Worst class ever...
It's df's bday today so I am not holding my breath for a good weigh in, we are on our way to Malaysian for lunch and I am making a pavlova as his cake!
I'm back! I have to post this while I'm motivated. DH is sick (has been for a month now), DD is having her jabs tomorrow and DS is having a food challenge next week, life is mental but hey, when is a good time?? I've been putting off coming back, lurking & eating badly. I owe it to myself to eat better & exercise. BBL... I PROMISE!!!!
I did too, had about four mouthfuls of cereal this morning and then bolted for the scales, with DH looking at me like "what the?!" hehehehe:
i am not doing well after my 2 kg loss, i found that again and gained some xtra as well. i am 89 kg with no shoes and that is just scary !!!!!!
i feel discusting !!
i have been trying hard i thought. cutting down on snacks and having smaller meal sizes. so annoying to gain when i thought i was doing well and to top it off AF is not being nice to me at all at the moment. i hate her !!
i am trying extra hard from now on as trying hard isn't enough.
good luck guys.
sorry no personals, i am slack .
ok, i think i seriously effed up my measurements last time...
Thigh: 61cm 59cm
Hips: 107cm 106cm
Waist: 87cm 84cm
Bust:95cm 95cm
Upper arm: 38.5 36cm
ermm... might start again shall we! I did take the last lot of measurements with a peice of string and a measuring tap (industrial one ><;;) I have the real deal now!
LOL Helle, i find that mine vary up to 4cm depending on the time of day! Except upper arm, that one is hard because you don't always get the same spot on your arm! It helps if you look in the mirror while doing them, and even better if you can get someone else to do them for you (not that i would ever let anyone near me with a tape measure! LOL)
JBM- that sucks about your gain! I hope it all comes back off for you again soon!
AFM- i have been working it hard in the gym this week, a few shorter sessions than usual though to ease my way back in after the 2 week christmas break. I think i am going to start doing strength sessions every second day instead of every day and see what this does. I was getting a bit upset at the scales for not changing as quickly as i would like, but then Helle reminded me that my measurements are where i have been getting the most inspiration so i am going back to those goals instead! I also saw a GP today and am having a thyroid function test, cholesterol and diabetes tests tomorrow morning, i have to fast for 12 hours so here's hoping that this helps me out a bit, LOL! I would love to find that my thyroid is the reason i am not losing weight quickly and that some medication would fix that, somehow i think i am living in a dream bubble there though...
And Raupe- stalking stalking stalking, where are you?? We miss you!!
appletree: thanks for that. what an amazing job at the gym, i am doing nothing, maybe thats why i am gaining. lol. keep up the good work
hi everyone
afm: got bad AF and it's raining so much didn't even go outside yesterday, i will be back on track tomorrow i hope.
AF is here for me too, just not motivated when she is here... might take a few days off and wallow in my cramps!!
Appletree, you are so sweet. :hug:
My mum is here to visit (from Germany :D) and she'll be staying for another three weeks. So I won't be on BB much, but I'll sure be thinking of "ma peeps" :lol: My mum's a health freak anyway (she's a gym instructor :o) so you don't have to worry about me slacking off! She's on my case already lol.
How's everyone going?
HOw is everyone, this weather is RIDICULOUS and i haven't been able to get out for a walk but we haven't been eating too badly so hopefully i wont have a gain.
Hope everyone is safe and dry.
OMG Raupe! Talk about pressure!! How did you go when she got here? I know you were worried she thought you had lost a lot more weight? My mum has never been like that thankfully! She has always been the size 16 while her sisters where 8's and 10's so i think she is a lot more gentle with her suggestions for weightloss.
Well, i missed the gym yesterday and today! Really feeling bad now, but hopefully i will be able to go tomorrow instead. Yesterday i needed to get together with my SIL to talk strategy, my MIL has lost the plot completely and we needed a bit of a release so we could move on. Our nieces are staying with MIL with their Dad for 3 weeks as they live about 7 hrs away, so SIL and I decided we would take them to the movies so MIL could have a bit of a break. I was over at MIL's so i looked up the times with them and organised for their dad to drop them at the cinema (i don't have enough room in my car for them) and then messaged SIL to meet us there as well. Easy, right? Its just a trip to the movies! The girls are 11 and 13 so its not like its a huge deal. Well, MIL obviously thought so, or perhaps was offended that i hadn't involved her? Because the next day she actually called my SIL and I and told us that the other had cancelled! Seriously, WTF? Why would she do that?? She got completely caught out because i messaged SIL to tell her i was sorry she was sick, but i was going to take the girls anyway. What is wrong with this woman?? I will never understand what she had to gain by doing that? Then today i missed the gym again as i had to fast for 12 hours to have blood tests and it never even occurred to me that it wouldn't be a good idea to go straight to the gym! LOL.
Hope this weather clears up soon so you guys can all get out walking again, and AF is short and sweet for you all :) Its a pretty nice day today here, i should go and put some washing on!
appletree: i am sure one day of missing gym, you will recover from, good luck with your weight loss and don't be so hard on yourself, you can do it
zavara: todays the day for a walk. good luck and keep no being good.
raupe: maybe thats what i need my own personal gym instrucor, good luck with your mum and have fun.
starbright: AF is so nasty but she seems to be almost gone today, hope she isn't too nasty to you. good luck
AFM
well AF has almost gone. prob today she will be gone. thank goodness. then i have a break for a while. ha ha
i am going to get back into fitness now and prob do walks everyday . no i will do walks everyday !! i am telling myself. lol i am going to be good and try really hard.
starting today.
now af has gone no excuses for being slack. i feel fat and discusting and i am sick of feeling like that. i want to feel fantastic.
i am going to feel fantastic. 3 weeks time i have a goal.
The weather is gorgeous today but DP is home, he wants to do some gardening and cleaning and then have a BBQ for tea, so might make a yummy salad and just enjoy the day with my family.
Hope everyone is well, will completely understand if tomorrow is a bit of an off day with weigh ins.. i drowned my sorrows with toast and brown sugar last night :(
Ok guys! Weigh in tomorrow morning :) Who is joining me??
I am going to be doing some measurements tomorrow as well, so fingers crossed! I did some mid week ones just out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised, so here is hoping for some good ones tomorrow morning. Didn't make it to the gym this weekend, but do have a session booked for the morning.
ok I promised I'd be back and I am. I've drawn up a contract with myself - stated my goals, what I want to do, the timeframes, the rewards, the motivators - everything. Complete with fat & fit pics!
Baseline weigh-in is tomorrow and I feel like my brain has finally kicked into the right headspace for this. There never will be a right timeframe. DH is still sick and I still have two little munchkins who keep me busy, but hey, use or lose it. I saw a pic of myself today and I guess no-one usually takes pics of me cos OMG I was horrified. I thought I didn't look that bad, I did :(. And bubba-girl is 4 mths old now, that excuse is getting older by the day.
So Appletree, I'll be weighing in with you tomorrow, GL! Glad your mid-week ones were good, bodes well!
ZF - i have fingers crossed for a good resutl for you too. I think you're doing amazingly, 8kg so far, WOW!
JBM - feeling fantastic and walking every day sounds like a great idea, I'll be doing that too :)
Raupe - have a great time with your mum
Starbright - hope AF wasn't too nasty.
Ok I'm ready for tomorrow. I imagine i"ll have a few super dooper motivated days and then by the weekend might start to struggle - I'm prepared for it!
I'm weighing in but wont expect any miracles... see how we go.
It was 11 belfie but x-mas happened :rofl:
Keep up the great work everyone, life is short, lets make the most of it :)
well after what i thought would be a carppy week with no walking i lost 400g 94.9kg on the scales this morning :dance:
A loss is a LOSS right.... am going for a walk today if it doesn't rain (pls pls pls i need a walk), i did fit 3 rides in on the exercise bike this week that i completely forgot about..
Will try and fit more this week if we get more crap weather.
Hope your all well and the numbers on the scales please you ;)
Oh oh and i FINALLY found a PRETTY weight loss ticker.. check out Lilyslim
Nice ticker ZF.
No change from me again....sigh.
Time to pick it up again. But saying that, the weather did keep me indoors last week and a cranky DD meant no zumbaring either. Now to find motivation to get walking this week.
Nice work ZF! That is awesome :) Your ticker is very nice!
PRMG- you are doing well! At least it wasn't a gain, hope you manage to get out there this week. It is beautiful weather here at the moment, but so incredibly hot, i wouldn't like to be out walking, but maybe you could have some time to yourself and go in the evening just before it gets dark??
AFM- I am pretty happy, i am still not at my pre-christmas weight but considering as last week i think i saw my starting weight when i weighed myself (i was so horrified and hopped straight off and pretended i hadn't seen it!) i am doing ok!
Total WLTD is 4.25kgs, but i have now lost 10cm from my bust as well as my hips, 7cm from my waist and am just about 2 dress sizes smaller! Woohoo!!
What does everyone think about doing shakes when breastfeeding? DS is feeding about 4-5 times during the day, and eating 3 big meals. I am keen to get to 10kgs before i go back to work at the end of Feb, and want to give myself a bit of a boost, do you think it would be ok to have 2 shakes per day + a normal dinner?
Thanks appletree! I did get out for a walk, the rain held off and it's not too hot here today. I just have to do it. Time to myself? Hmmm........:ROFL: Nah, its not that bad. DD is going to bed at a reasonable hour now, but I'm just finding I'm too tired at night to head out. Like to get it done early. Although I'm just back from my walk now and passed about 5 mums pushing prams. Seems this is the time of day the neighbours get out! Well done on your WLTD! You're doing a fantastic job. No idea about shakes though.
forgot to weighthis morning- will do it tomorrow morning
ok- weighed this morning and surprise surprise, after doing nothing all week i had a loss!!
Back to my original weight before I gained a kilo lol
So
GW 67KG
SW 79KG
CW 78KG
WL 1KG
LTD 1KG
a loss is a loss!!!
Go starbright!!! I would be thrilled with a kilo loss! Well, better get of BB then as I am pedalling very slowly on a bike at the gym right now so I can type!
:rofl: that is GOLD....:
Had a walk yesterday wish Kate had of warned me about the hills, i might be loosing weight but damn i am soooo unfit.
Today am off to see a friend and her bub after DD2 gets her 12mth needles... am thinking salad roll for lunch and then god knows what for tea, might do rice with lots of veg and a tiny bit of bacon :)
Hi guys. Just letting you know that I am in the challenge. I started last week but as I was flooded in I couldn't post up. My current weight is 71.8 and my goal weight is 62kg. So I have 10 kgs to lose. I am at my parents house for the week which is always a challenge eating wise but seems easier for exercise. I have been doing very random exercise like running on the spot, kicking a ball around. But today I am going to try and jump on my parent's exercise bike and do a good 30 mins. Will check in later!
Hope your ok now hun, damn this weather.:
Enjoy the bike, it's good to mix it up a bit :)
:
Ha ha! you loved the hills! I have noticed you haven't shared the story of you saving the wildlife. :rofl:
SAVING THE WILDLIFE... you mean when the big brave fire fighter chickened out (no pun intended) and i got the courage to remove a headless chook being eaten by worms and flies with only WIPES as protection, putting it out of the road of oncoming traffic... poor thing was dead long before we got there.:
Damn thing was partially on the hill itself, it probably died trying to walk up the damn thing... like i nearly did :p
