Pre-Xmas 12 week challenge - all welcome!

[Nai]

Krys - woot! on the size 10 dotti dress! I'm sure you look hot!

Tinsel - I think it was probably bad timing as well. Try to weigh in on a different day and see if you get a different result.

Snacks - It's so nice to hear that others can see a difference. It gives your motivation that extra little boost.

Cherished - keep going - you can do it! You may have eaten food with more salt than usual as have retained some fluid from the weekend. See if it goes down later in the week.

I finally got my birthday present and have been riding it around all day yesterday - check me out (I hope this works) Login | Facebook

1 Week till Christmas!

Woohoo girls, let's put in a huge effort to do the best we can before christmas, we can do it and will feel much better about ourselves if we know we have given it all we can

AFM I got totally excited last night when I realised that if I work out every day and eat well I could loose 200 grams per day and 'could' reach my Christmas goal weight an loose that 7kg!!! (((jump up and down))) so I will be counting down the days and hoping to see at least a 200gram loss every day on the scales Oh and today (a week later) I am back to being the devil at 66.6kg again YAY

Nai great pics hon! thanks for sharing, looks like you have loads of fun riding

I weighed in and no loss this week Oh well, it had to happen sooner or later I guess - this is the first week I have lost nothing. It has been a tough week as DD2 hasn't been sleeping so I have been up most nights and been too tired to exercise. Plus we have had a few Christmas functions so I have been eating and drinking a bit more than usual.

My last weigh in before we go away will be on Monday so I will try to be good over the weekend and lose that last little bit for my goal for Christmas!

I was wondering where everyone was, and then I realised that all my subscribed threads were gone so I just wasn't being notified of new posts.

Looks like some mixed results in here.

Nai, looks like you will get to 64... well done!

Snacks, it isn't a springless trampoline but it has the safety net. I was joking about how woosy kids are today needing a net, but when I am on it with the boys I am very pleased the net is there. They would have hit the ground many times already.

Tinsel, I hope the 300g disappears quickly for you. I will have to try for a 7kg jumping loss after xmas I think. Although only weighing 56kg sounds a bit scary to me so I might just aim for 2 or 3kg more next year.

Cherished, good luck with 200g a day, you are a stronger woman than me!!

Krys, well done with the size 10 dress. I borrowed a dress off a friend on the weekend that was a 10. The bit I was really pleased about though, was that the only things stopping me from fitting into her size 8 dresses were my boobs! I could get into them, just couldn't do up the last 5cm of zip. Damb boobs!

Anyway, it looks like 64.4kg is as low as I will get. I am reasonably happy with that after the weekend of food and drink I had though. I will check my weight next week just in case but I think this is it. So overall...
I lost 2.1kg, 1cm off my bust, 3.5cm off my waist, and 5cm off my hips. I have even finally lost another 0.5cm off my thighs!!!!!

I bought some shorts yesterday. They look pretty good even if I do say so myself. I just have to get used to my legs being out now since I have been wearing long shorts for years.

Good luck for the next week girls! You can do it.

Hi all, I have been scary busy of late, so I'm just popping in. Sorry for no persies. (Except, NICE WHEELS, Nai!) I am really going to try to weigh in next week, but I'm not going to see a favourable result I think! Have done pretty much ZERO exercise this last week which is going to set me back a long way. I will have to do my best to make up for it after Christmas.
My stats on Monday were:
Weight: 72.5
B:94
W:85
H:99
which I was stoked with, but think I am going to have undone it with my lazy week. I haven't even been paying much attention to what I've been eating. But I am resigned to it, so won't be upset or surprised by a crap result tomorrow.
Hoping to definitely pop in before Christmas, but if I just don't make it, I wish you all a wonderful time wherever you are and whatever you have planned. Peace.
Hope everyone feels brilliant about themselves - as far as I can tell you all very much deserve to!

today I am 66.3kg so only 900 grams to go before I reach my Christmas Challenge goal

Snacks Merry Christmas to you too hon, and you might surprise yourself on the scales, with that much running around you may see a loss.

Nai goodluck tomorrow in your weigh in, I am sure you will see a loss seeing there wasn't any movement last time

Berrme you go girl getting those legs out I am also loving having my legs out in shorts and dresses which finish above the knee... In fact yesterday I bought a beautiful white dress to wear on chirstmas day and I can't wait to put it on, do my hair and make up etc and I think I will be feeling wonderful especially as I am sure I will be in the 65's by then.

Krys how are you going? As this thread is coming to an end I wanted to thank you for getting it started as it's been super motivating for me especially when I felt like giving up last weekend when I had that gain I will take my measurements tomorrow so that I can post how much I have lost etc... I've also been thinking about what my next motivating challenge will be I've decided that my next goal will be for Valentines Day as dh and I are going away for the weekend... I considered Easter but it's just that little bit further away and smaller goals that aren't too far away keep me more motivated, even 12 weeks was a fair length of time to keep focused (for me anyway because I want everything 'right now') So I might start a thread about Valentines day where I can post and keep myself motivated, I'd love you all to jump on board if you feel up for it

I'm looking forward to seeing how much combined weight we have lost between us over the 12 weeks, Congratulations to you all

Hi guys! I have been pretty busy and not eating that great. Doesn't help with all of the xmas parties. But plan on a good last week (I dont weigh till the end of the week). and then my next goal is to just not put on anything over xmas - ha ha! Hard when there is so much good food and soccer takes a 2-3 week break. But I have found an outdoor soccer team for next year when I move to the Sunshine Coast which is good as I was worried about putting it all back on. But I will be training twice a week and then a game as well so it should really help keep me slimmer. Still have 5kg to lose before my birthday at the end of March so will see. I have now been losing weight for a year but feel 10 years younger with all of the weight off (goodbye 21 kgs!). Usually there is a BB 12 week challenge for New Year so if there is again this year I will join that too. Anyway I will try and pop back later for personals. Bye for now!
