Aimz I think the 1200cals a day is good for weight loss. If your BF or pregnant you would need some more. I'm pretty bad a calorie counting but when I can be bothered I try and stick around the 1600 but I am BF at the moment. If I do 1200 my supply drops to much.
I am in a world of hurt. I just did a second pump class with higher weights and my triceps still hadn't quite recovered from Monday. Ouch. The rest of me hurts too but triceps are the worst. And my butt :o
I'm not looking forward to getting out of bed tomorrow.
Have to run to get the boys BBL.
Aimz are you using calorie king? It has an awesome daily meal planner thing - you put in what your aim loss is and it works out how many calories you can consume a day. I think I was allowed around 1350 (not using it at the moment). It also has a section to add your exercise which takes those calories used up off the daily allowance.
Onyx, you are my inspiration, I want my butt to hurt too! "Just keep walking, just keep walking....."
Today i've done more poxy weeding this AM, geez it sucks big time! It looks so much better though :) Just finished the food shopping and vaccing and mopping the floors this PM. I've also tried to do sets of 10 lunges, squats and stretches when I catch myself asking myself what I should do next. Lots of bottles of water in the fridge, so there's no excuse for DP or I too not drink more of the good stuff ;)
Im doing ok foodwise after a hangover blowout on Sunday. I'm cooking up some chilli chicken to go over a big fresh garden salad with vermicelli noodles, MMMMmmmmmmmm!
Cherished, hun, are you about? I miss your big pretty face!
Awww man! GO away for a few days and miss soo much including into the 2nd page of a new thread!
Tomorrow is check in day! How about those who are counting the kg's tell me how much they have lost this week and how much in total they have lost and I will record that. Those who had a different goal tell me how you are going this week and how close you are to reaching your goal :cheer:
Welcome to any newbies, I will add you tomorrow :D
.... moved list....
Hi Aimz, I meant to say this in your other thread but had bad internet. 1200 calories should be your net calories intake for the day. If you do a workout you should eat more to account for this. Otherwise if you eat 1200 cals and then burn 500 at the gym you won't be giving your body enough food. Welcome on board here though! You have a great motivator to keep you on track. :):
Is anyone else calorie counting? I just worked out my calories that I had for breakfast, and also what I'll have for lunch and dinner tonight. The three meals add up to 1091. So throw in a couple of apples and I'm probably around 1200 for the day. Does that sound right? Each meal is between 300-400 calories.
Well so many posts have been made so I won't do personals today. But I am down 900g this week so down to 73.7kg (1.4kg loss in total). Very happy. Was hoping to see that 3. Now I have to concentrate on seeing a 72.something next week. Did an hour on the x-trainer yesterday and was very proud as it is the longest I have made myself stay on the one machine and I also increased my resistance. So yay!
Quickly checking in. I have lost 1.1kg this weeks, that's 2.1 all up. I'm pretty stoked with that. Now just to keep it up :)
ETA: Cherished, I have been loving your inspirational quotes! :D Don't have anything to add right now though.
Hi all, well suprisingly I have lost 100gms! Im pretty excited about that because usually I put on 1kg when AF arrives. Must be all the walking and body weight exercises! I am glad I am doing those because they are easy-ish and I was doing them last night in the kitchen while cooking dinner!!! Now I have no excuse! Now to get the cardio going... will have to do the stationary bike with all this rain about....
Good luck for your weigh ins!
Didn't get to weigh in this morning so will go by my weigh in by my weigh in yesterday morning of 93kg so i'm pretty sure thats a 400g loss... which isn't bad as i haven't been walking and haven't exactly been watching my eating.
Today we have our taste test jaffa mud cake in the oven.... hmm shame is i'm going to HAVE to taste test it :rofl: but will work it off I PROMISE.
No change here again.
But I just saw some pics taken last weekend. EWWWWWWWWW! so, This week Im seriously getting into it. I've looked into C25K and that looks good and will start meal replacement for an initial kick start. This cannot go on
Congrats for everybody who has lost weight!!!
X X X
Hi lovelies,
I've also been MIA with a teething baby (1st tooth!) and no sleep. I'm back now, though :D
I haven't had any further losses since the 2kg in the first week but miraculously I haven't had any gains either. Also, my clothes are fitting much better and I've been getting lots of compliments - yay!
Starting weight: 67kg
Target Weight: 60kg
Weight lost: 2kg
only 5kg to go in the next two months!
Apart from walking with bub in the Ergo, exercise has completely gone out the window, which a real pity because I was loving the running and core work. Bub doesn't like running in the pram so that's not an option atm but my inlaws are back from overseas in a fortnight and I'll start running again then. Riding the exercise bike has also been out because bub has been a velcro baby with the tooth coming through. At the moment I'm just trying to include little self-love rituals into my day like warm lemony water when I get up and a dry brush massage. I'm so grateful for this thread to keep me focused even though I'm having a bit of a lull at the moment. It's great to hear everyone else's success stories and tips. Keep em coming :D
After my sooking earlier in the week, I'm pleasantly surprised to discover I have lost weight. 600g this week, so 700g total so far. It's inspired me to go for a run later. Unfortunately, I've hurt my big toe, so will see how it goes. If I can't run, I'll do my Denise Austin DVD. She always tells me how great I'm doing :)
I made chocolate cake the other day. I'm happy I gave some away, as I don't want to undo the weight loss. It's not much but it's a start.
Hi everyone, congrats to all the ladies who have had losses again. And yay to those getting compliments on their weightloss. I am hoping someone other than DH will start complimenting me soon. :p
I weighed in this morning at 72.6kg, so a 600g loss this week and 2.8kg in total. I want to get down to 65kg, so I have another 7.6kg to go. No problem. ;)
Onyx, I am loving pump classes... it just feels like you have had such a good whole body workout afterwards. I upped my weights on Saturday and was pretty sore afterward, but I increased them again yesterday and I feel great. I had to laugh at you mixing up the lunge track, I don't know how you could accidently use the same leg twice. :rofl: At least you will be extra toned on one side.
Minimatron, a loss at AF time is great, you should be really pleased. Hopefully it means you will see a fantastic result next week once the AF weight has gone.
Aimz, I agree with Kryslyss that 1200 is probably a bit low if you will be exercising too. I would add enough calories to cover whatever exercise you do so you don't end up weak and tired by the end of the day.
Mildez, how tall are you? I wish I was tall enough to have a healthy BMI at 70kg!
Wrena, have you tried riding the stationary bike holding bub? It is awkward, but I have done it before. Also squats and lunges etc holding bub are great... they just take the place of a weight. I used to do pushups over the top of DS2 and kiss him on the nose each time I went down, crunches with him on my chest. Plus doing squats always put DS2 to sleep, the repeditive movements might help getting a teething bub to sleep.
Tashybabe, woohoo for getting a loss afterall. I hope it is enough inspiration to keep you going for a while, sometimes it takes something like this to get us into the groove, once you are there it is much easier.
Hi Ladies, just a quick check in, 700g loss this week, so 4.2kg all up since we started the challenge, yay!
Congrats to all the losers this week, great job by all!
Will be back later to reply properly x
Berrme, thanks for the awesome tips! You've inspired me!
Hey all, just checking in, 300g loss for me. Sorry no persies but have a great week all
I weighed today and I had put on 1kg since last week :o but that was just after drinking almost a litre of water and having a coffee so some of it must be water weight :pray: Either it's water or the oportos I ate on Sunday night. Or maybe it's my left buttock lol.
I might weigh again tomorrow and see if it's the same.
So that's 4kg lost in 7 months.
It's a good thing I'm not too hung up on the scales. On the positive side, I have abs now. I just need to move more of fat that they are hiding under.
I did 20 minutes on the rowing machine and 20 minutes on the cross-trainer today. I think I need to shake things up a bit so doing something else for cardio might be a good start.
