New Years Body Transformation Challenge 2009!

**Lucy** · December 27th, 2008, 05:40 PM

Hi all,

Following on from the success of last years New Years Body Transformation Challenge (thanks Lea!) we have decided to run this challenge again, as so many of us have weight & fitness related New Years Resolutions!

So, if you would like to shed to weight and gain some slimness and generate a little fitness this year, please feel free to join in!

I know that last years New Years Body Transformation Challenge was a great start to a few of us (Schaz, where are you?) to kick start a healthy year, and for me personally, it was the start of an amazing years journey to health.

How does the New Years 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. I have lost 33kg myself, so I truly understand the embarrassment!)
3. Start eating healthily and taking more exercise
4. Watch the results come in.....

Results will be posted weekly, on a Thursday. All of your weight and measurement figures need to be pm'd or emailed to me by Wednesday 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!

I will also post a weekly challenge, to try and keep us all focused. It may be a simple food challenge, or it might be an exercise challenge, or it might be a nurturing challenge!

I have also set up a section in the BB Gallery for anyone who would like to post before and progress shots: this is totally optional.

At any time, please feel free to post in here with your successes, your struggles and your wins!

If anyone has any questions at all, please post them in here.

Good luck!

Hell yeah. I'm in.

**Lucy** · December 27th, 2008, 05:47 PM

Well done!

Now get measuring and email me your stats!

Oh, Oh, Oh YAY!!!

I have been waiting to see this thread!

I would really like to do this after bub is born. Is it ok to join in later?

**Lucy** · December 27th, 2008, 06:13 PM

Of course, wait till bubs is born. In between times, you can focus on health (ie drinking lots of water and getting a healthy balanced diet) so that you are in top top form for when you have a newborn to look after!

Ashlea, good on you! Email me your stats asap!

**MrsFabuloso** · December 27th, 2008, 06:17 PM

Ooooh, yep, count me in....

BTW, did you start this thread for me...how did you know I just took 'fat photos' of myself so I could start this journey???? LOL!

**Arimeh** · December 27th, 2008, 06:26 PM

So when are we starting (just cos I'll be in hervey bay from the 1st to the 4th and won't be able to email!)

**Lucy** · December 27th, 2008, 06:52 PM

We will start as of Thurs 1st Jan 2009, so that means you to email me all your details by Weds 31st Dec. So email me before you go!

**Arimeh** · December 27th, 2008, 07:00 PM

YUP can do.

Definitely.

Oh - can I get DH in on this as well and send his through? or is it strictly for members?

**Lucy** · December 27th, 2008, 07:07 PM

Kel, got your pm, thanks babe! If you want to/ are brave enough to post before/progress shots, there is a special spot in the gallery for it:HERE

Go for it!

**MrsFabuloso** · December 27th, 2008, 07:11 PM

Ohh, don't think I'm brave enough for that yet.....they're pretty hideous! I have to come to terms with them myself yet! But maybe in a a few weeks!

**Lucy** · December 27th, 2008, 07:22 PM

I hear you on that one! It took me ages to post mine up for the whole world to see. Strangely enough, once you have lost a bit and are feeling better, it is rewarding to look back at the gross ones!

(Girls, I am going to put some of mine in there. My original ones are AWFUL. They get better, I hope.)
