Pre-Xmas 12 week challenge - all welcome!

[krysalyss]

It is just under 12 weeks till Xmas and this thread is for anyone who wants to join some of the weight loss buddies in slimming down for then. It's not an official BB one so I have modified the rules and added in below.

The challenge is split into two parts and will run for 12 weeks:
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. Post your results once a week as a) cms lost this week b) cms lost in total c)% lost this week d) % lost in total. (Or you can pm me if you want and I can tally it for you). It is up to you how often you measure cms (e.g. weekly, fortnightly or monthly)

Results can be posted whenever suits you to fit in with your weigh day. Any results pm'd to me should be posted within a day or two.

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.

wooohoo Krys great thread.

My official loss yesterday was 1.6kg

[Nai]

Here is my plan for the challenge (copied from the other thread)

My 12wk challenge plan:
- gym at least once a week
- walk with the pram most days
- run once a week
- swim once a week
- try and do more cycling - am aiming to be ready for a triathlon in January

The food half:
- Drink more water
- Write down absolutely everything I eat!
- resist the temptation to "just have a bit" of something naughty


My goal: to lose 6kg (from 68.6kg to 62.5kg)
Challenge rewards:
Still to get my boots for my 10kg loss So get them!
Loss of 3.6kg - 1 hour massage
Loss of 5kg - New bathers
Loss of 6kg - New outfit
If I get to 60kg then I will buy myself a bottle of French champagne

Cherished - do you want me to put your % lost in the summary post? - Awesome loss!!!
I won't weigh in till Saturday but am still off from exercise for a bit. Will try cycling today and see how that goes.

[Cherished]

Krys, sure, I started at 72.4 kg and was 70.8kg yesterdy

[~clover~]

Ok, I'll jump in. A friend & I started a week ago. Walking 2 kms & pilates every day.
Scales say I'm 70kgs down to 68...they not real accurate though, lol.

Hi Nadine and Bjrose. Have added you into the top list.

[Tinsel]

Alright, lets do it! I have been procrastinating for a while now but I would love to lose the extra weight gained from pg (thanks to all that chocolate and biscuits). DD is 3 months old and I'm still BF so nothing too drastic on the food front - just get rid of the junk. My reward - to fit back into my favourite jeans and buy new clothes.

Nadine, can you please send me some of your energy my way

Krys, I will send you info tomorrow.
