Coming in to show off my new ticker.... :)
Looking forward to it now that the week 1 plans are out. :)
Yay!! So excited!! We got the plans this morning and have already done the food shop! Came in at around $230 for us because we had to buy a few of the herbs and such so next week shouldn't be as much!! Yay!

I'm planning on going to the gym tonight to kick start things. Fitness test tomorrow night when DP is home. Shopping and cooking over the weekend while he is away in Tassie.
So pumped for Monday. And thrilled to bits that the food looks delicious and isn't too different from what we eat now anyway - sans chips. :lol:
I have created a little group on Facebook for my friends that are doing it. If anyone is interested in joining us, simply add me as a friend (icon above) and I will add you. We are a lovely, supportive bunch I promise you x
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by the menu but I have only had a quick look. I don't do much cooking in this house so it's going to be difficult for me as I will need to start cooking again as I doubt I can get DH to cook much of it. Off to print it and break it down.
I rejoined the gym tonight. Very proud, can't wait to get in there and kick butt. I should also probably confess I am sick and have caved to chocolate today. I am craving milk like crazy, I always do when I have a sore throat but trying to hold back.
I am in too...
have changed a few menu suggestions and will be doing measurements and fitness test on sunday morning cause im super busy til then and I need to find somewhere with i know that is 1km
Hi ladies!
It's totally normal to be a bit overwhelmed. It's a BIG thing and there is so much to know and learn.
Just break it down day by day, meal by meal.
Had a HUGE stuff up last night, with chocolate. Ah well, dust myself off. Today is a new day :)
So excited!! It's Round 2 Eve! :lol:
I've measured out tomorrow's breakfast, made lunch and stuck it in the fridge, got my snacks, and got dinner all portioned and ready to go. If I can keep this organised it'll be easy! DH is really excited to be having different foods, our dinners are usually so boring so he can't wait for this.
How did you guys go with that pop quiz? I've gotta do 30 push ups lol.

YAY, going well so far today but it is only 12.40 :D. Got up and did some exercise this morning and hoping to walk over and pick up ds1 from daycare this afternoon. Meals going ok and I am pumped. Had a pretty dodgy weekend, but that is it! I am done with the dodgyness. Looking forward to being 10kg's lighter in 12wks time :D WOO
612cals burnt this morning with a walk while DD was at kinder. I'm still overcoming a hamstring tendon injury so am only able to walk at the moment but all seemed to go well. I've got a strength training session booked for tonight. Hoping to burn 1000 cals today if I can. (NOT something that you have to do... but this is my 3rd round and I'm super keen to kick some butt and push myself further than I have).
SO far so good.
yay! everyone is doing so well! :D
I did a spin class at the gym today, and OMG my ass!!! i would have been able to do so much more had the seat hadnt been hurting my bum so much!! :( though im definitely glad i did it! an hour workout from it!
I can't wait to get my polar watch and know how many calories im burning each day!!
I've done one of Michelle's DVD's for the last 2 mornings. They are killers!
Diet is good so far. Have extra calories as I'm still feeding DS2. Didn't get those yesterday, got to 1296 all up so not to bad. Will be interesting when I weigh in tomorrow to see if I've lost anything in the first few days.
So far so good for me! Excercising like a champ, eating well, and excited to see if I've lost anything!
Already feeling less bloated and more energised. YAY!
1.4kgs GONE at first weigh in :o
WOOT! Go Aimz!!!
2kg loss for me!!!! wowza! i was NOT expecting that! i've also lost 2cm off my waist since then too! hells YEAH!! i really thought i'd only lose very little or i'd gain because i only exercised monday and had an indulgence dinner on sunday :redface: Super happy!!!!!!! :D
Awesome!!!
I'm not going to lie, I am strutting a little this morning :lol:
I'm up 600 grams, but it will be due to DOMS. I'm feeling rather sore all over. My body won't be used to the exercise for a little while, so I'll keep plodding along and I know I'll be rewarded with a loss very soon.
Congrats ladies!!!!
.9kg loss for me... Since Saturday so pretty happy with that.
I'm feeling very sore though leg and thigh wise but other then that not too bad. My sleeping has improved though, falling asleep straight away and not waking up through the night.
~n~ - good luck with the next week!!

Hmm kinda feel like I am writing the same things and doubling up ;)
2.3kg loss for me. Very happy with that. Down to 101.5 so looking forward to cracking the 100 next week.
This is the last time I will need to anticipate and celebrate getting to double digits.
Seeing my PT for cardio session tonight, she is bringing gloves, cannot WAIT.
My core is so sore, combat is amazing but oh god I am sore. Thought i would have been more sore from the 45 (swiss ball) sit ups and planking I did on Monday night but alas not the case!
i weighed myself on the scales today, just out of curiosity because i was cleaning the bathroom and knocked them so they turned on, and guess WHAT!!!!
I'm down to 99kg!!! I'M IN DOUBLE DIGITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F**K YEAH!!!!! this was one of my goals, and i am so proud to be in double digits again, of my own accord, working out, eating healthy and doing things the right way!!!!!
Go Hope!
I had a bad day today. Missed my exercise cause I didn't do it this morning and then have been flat out all day, also ate Thai for dinner tonight. Back on the bandwagon tomorrow!
I am loving this program!!!!! Well done to those who have started !!! 12 weeks will fly !
Is anyone else using the My Fitness Pal app?
It's all kinds of amazing for tracking calories!
Yep been using it since i started "eating" again after my dental surgery.

Way to go Hope!! That's fantastic work! And just imagine, if that's what you can do in less than a week, how hot are you gonna be at the end of 12 weeks?
I was pretty average at the first weigh in, but I'm happy with it. I only lost half a kilo from Wed to Wed, but you know how Michelle said not to treat the last weekend as your last big crappy weekend? Um, I didn't listen. I was all kinds of bad lol. So I'm happy with half a kilo, and as of today I've lost 2.6kgs since May 23. This week since Monday is the best though, I'm doing really well and I'm excited for next week's weigh in!
I know that weekends will be a challenge for me, and next Saturday is DD's first birthday, so I think I'm going to need the extra support!

I'm looking forward to this weeks menu. Looks really yummy.
How did everyone go over the weekend? I was pretty good overall and didn't go over my calorie limit. Made the panacotta's from Mish's recipe index. They were really yummy :D. I am also mixing in some recipes from a website called lose baby weight. Been a yummy first week. Nervously looking forward to Wednesdays weigh in.

How's everyone's weigh ins going? I have to wait until abit later this morning as I stayed at my parents house and there's no scales here (convenient huh? :lol:) so I can't eat until then! :( boo!

Ooh hope you can get some breakfast into you soon Hope! I'm always sick in the mornings if I don't have breakfast.
I've lost 1.9kgs this week :dance: I'm so stoked! It's funny, there are times when I find myself thinking "I can't believe this works!" The food is delicious, I'm not left hungry (not really needing my additional 500 cal allowance either) and I'm mostly walking DD in the pram for exercise due to lack of expected time.
I was much better this weekend than the last one, but it's the weekend coming up that will be the real test - DD 's first birthday, eek!

I lost 2.8 this week. Was so happy. Now at 90.2. I've been pretty good but as with Kaytee have the boys birthday party on the weekend so will have to try and be really good. I will at least have 1 piece of cake but not eat any other stuff that's extra that day.
I lost 1.4kg so pretty happy there.
Well done to everyone else!!!

So how did everyone go last week? I was really nervous about weighing in, I've been sick all week with a sinus infection. So I haven't dot a single workout or even a walk, and I barely made anything from the menu. Basically lived on weetbix and toast lol. Plus there was DD's birthday on Saturday and I was worried about overeating. Not an issue, as soon as a plate was down it was empty, and all I managed to get was two pieces of fairy bread :(
Anyway, so I was nervous this morning but the minimal eating resulted in a .9kg loss. Back on the horse today, have done a 30 minute walk and going to do the Tuesday home workout when DD is asleep :)
I got a .5kg loss.

put on 2kgs!!! Damn not exercising and crappy diet.
I lost 2kg this week again :) but I know a lot of that is due to AF, because I barely exercised all week because ive been so non-stop busy!
No matter, still lost, and just have to make sure I keep exercising!!

Hooray for losses! :clap:
MelbourneMumma, you had a massive week last week, so you're still ahead by .8. Just a small set back :)
Yeah. I've also been really crappy at tracking my calorie intake, that's what trips me up big time. So, back onto tracking properly this week!!!
Ditto, I keep forgetting to put stuff in. Like because it's just a tiny snack it doesn't matter. But they all add up, I worked out there was just over 100 calories I wasn't counting some days.
