New Years Body Transformation Challenge 2009!

[Nai]

Yay Divvy! That is the best way to think about it - you are doing it for your health! How you look is a secondary concern really.

I will join in after I have bubs so is it ok to start sending measurements post-birth as if I start now they will just keep getting bigger!!!

[~kellie~]

maybe I should join in too? There is only so long I can blame my weight on just having a baby!

Will send through my details as soon as I find the tape measure......

[AmandaJ]

These are things that I have decided to do to:

*need to try and drink at least 2L water
*cut down meal portions
*make sure I eat breakfast
*cut down on sweet things
*eat more fruit

My goals are:

*to be able to put my engagement ring and wedding band back on my finger
*be able to buy some new clothes for my birthday in June
*increase my sex drive as I don't feel very sexy at the moment

I think that's all for now, I really just want to feel better about myself more then anything, and I'm finding that been over weight makes it really hard for me to like myself.

Oooh I did this last year and it was a great way to start the year off!! Not sure I can really get into it this year though Might have to join you Nai in a post-baby health kick.....Lucy, how long does the NYBTC go for? From memory it was only 2-3 months last year which might not be long enough for me to really join in? I might just have to cheer from the sidelines and use all of your successes as motivation.....starting with a big whoohoo and for Divvy! Health (physical and mental) is definitely far more important than what you look like or what size clothing you wear.

Lucy, how long does the NYBTC go for?

Just 3 months, but I am happy to continue on if we have anough motivated souls.........

Arrrggggghhhhh!!!! I soooooooo have absolutely NO willpower!!!! I have barely started this weightloss thing and I am already falling off the wagon! We went for a drive up the coast today and because of the horrific traffic, it took what normally is a 1hr10min trip to being 1hr50mins. DD was whining and DH was hungry and said he couldn't wait (til we got to dads and for him to make us lunch!) So we ended up getting maccas for everyone. I SHOULD have had a healthy roll, salad or meal, since they have those choices now, but they're sooo much more expensive! So I ended up with a cheese burger meal, with sprite, not even diet coke! There were good choices I could make, but I chose not to...WHY OH WHY!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh, I so need to change my thinking! No I need to change my will power somehow. I know these things, I know about healthy foods and how bad for me these things are, WHY do I eat them????

Got out the Wii fit to weigh myself. Been a long time since it has been used have managed to lose 2 1/2 kgs since the last time, so that is good.

Going to be be hard though, I received some rather nice choccie for Christmas and there are some other foods left over. Have chatted to DH about it, so he knows I am doing it. Also I am using the new year to really start sticking to a grocery budget, so some meal planning and not having extra to eat rubbish will be helpful.

Lilias - was like you today, we had to get lunch and there is not a huge amount of choice where we were. So Macca's it was. I am afraid to try their salads for some reason, so next time we go there I will give them a go.

Kel, don't beat yourself up babe. At least you had a cheeseburger not a big mac, it couldve been much worse.

I will get up the courage to weigh myself etc tomorrow and send my stats to you Lucy. I started last year and lost a couple of kgs but then sort of petered out. Having a teenage DD who weighs what I did/should is quite motivating if not depressing LOL

[Kirst11]

I'M IN!!!!
I don't have a heap to lose, but it's those last few stubborn kilos that are really getting me down. And I have a goal to get fitter and firmer, so this should be the right start to a new routine.

Will send through my figures in a few minutes.

Having a mother who is a Size 6-8 and at most 50kg with A cups is depressing too *sigh*
I got the short genes from mum and the fat genes from my father. LOL!

Cool thanks. I will cheer from the sidelines and join if it is still going strong in March.
