Month one: Mid-2010 weight loss challenge

**krysalyss** · April 13th, 2010, 08:44 AM

Welcome to the BB mid-2010 weight loss challenge. The total challenge is 12 weeks long but split into 1 month periods so you can commit to one month, two months or the whole lot.

The challenge is based on two measures
1. Percentage of weight lost
2. Centimetres lost

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. Start eating healthily and taking more exercise
4. PM krysalyss every Monday with your weight and measurements who will post results by Wednesday.

Please weigh yourself in kg's, and measure, in cm's, bust, tummy and hips.

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

Week One starts Monday 19th April so get your details to krysalyss by then to be added to the list below!

Ok, I'm in. Hope I'm not setting myself up for another failure....finding it very hard to get and stay motivated.

**krysalyss** · April 13th, 2010, 09:56 AM

Commit to just one month instead of the whole lot. You can do 4 weeks - I know you can!

**Bumperstump Cummerbund** · April 13th, 2010, 10:30 AM

I'll send the details tonight

**Nai** · April 13th, 2010, 10:38 AM

I'm in- sunbscribing tot he thread so that I remember to do it!

**Amaunet** · April 13th, 2010, 10:42 AM

I'm in! Just searching for the tape measure

**Bengal** · April 13th, 2010, 10:48 AM

Sorry for the questions

Do you publish my measurements and weight on the forum, or do you keep track of them offline ?

**AliBaby** · April 13th, 2010, 11:14 AM

Liking this!
Will do measurements and weight tonight or maybe I should do them later in the week in case I gain another kg by Monday!

just joking!

I was thinking the same.....hahahaha!!!!! But what's 1 kg when I've got 30 to lose!

**~Kim~** · April 13th, 2010, 11:37 AM

WLAB usually it's kept offline babe.

I'm in too. Will have to go and buy myself a tape measure tomorrow....and find somewhere to weigh.

**Sopdet** · April 13th, 2010, 05:56 PM

I shall be involved

I have 26kgs to lose and I'm at the weight my Dr wants me to be at.

**Sibbie** · April 13th, 2010, 07:07 PM

I'm in!!!! I've got a lot to lose. I've been going to the gym but not really eating properly so it's sort of defeating the purpose of going

I need motivation to be healthy this might do it!

Subscribing.

Who else is in the 30-40kg to shift club?

**leckert** · April 13th, 2010, 07:20 PM

technically I'm in the 30kgs to shift (to reach my ideal weight) but I'm happy to be in the 20-25kg to shift range - not real comfortable being that skinny any more (I nearly got there once but the idea of size 8 clothes freaked me out - more comfortable with the idea of size 12-14)
Although current goal is more likely to be around the 5 kg in the next few months - more realistic for me.

**Baby14** · April 13th, 2010, 07:23 PM

I can't wait for this to start! I have to get a tape measure then will PM my details to you. Thanks krysalyss for doing all the hard work! Hopefully this will be the motivation I need

Me hun. I have about 30-32 kg to lose.

Soooo daunting!

**ss_storm** · April 13th, 2010, 07:52 PM

Have my tape measure looking at me from the kitchen table...but I can't be bothered dragging out the balance board for Wii Fit yet so I can weigh myself! Does anyone know how accurate that measurement is anyway? Would I better off if I just went and bought a set of scales?

Ideally I'd like to lose probably 10-15kg, since being pg I've gone up two sizes in pants and one size in tops, so would really like to lose it from my thighs/tummy/hips!
