BB Challenge Week 4 & 5

[krysalyss]

Welcome to week four of the BB mid-2010 weight loss challenge. The total challenge is 12 weeks long but split into 1 month periods so you can commit to one month, two months or the whole lot.

The challenge is based on two measures
1. Percentage of weight lost
2. Centimetres lost

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. PM krysalyss every Monday with your weight and measurements who will post results by Wednesday.

Please weigh yourself in kg's, and measure, in cm's, bust, tummy and hips.

Results so far are below (% loss so far ; cm loss so far):
Congratulations to everyone!!!

Krys, I would just like to say thankyou so much for doing all of the math for us every week. You're doing a great job with it all despite having your own family and life to deal with. So thanks for the effort you're putting into us!! I appreciate it

[krysalyss]

Aww thanks Kel! I quite like doing it and I love seeing everyone's amazing results!

[Sterla]

Well done everyone! Keep up the good work!!!

[~Kim~]

Amen to that Krys. I actually feel accountable to you specifically each week. lol just what I needed

Well there is just too much cake here. I have eaten way too much. I have exercised today but it still doesn't counteract it. I actually feel like crap today too and that's exactly why. Sterla you were right in the other thread about eating well breeds eating well....back on it tomorrow I guess. ooh BTW Sterla congratulations on the 10kg!!

Zarava and Erybery welcome girls. Jump right in

Natty, I thought you were gorgeous when I met you in Feb!

Leckert hang in there babe.

Alison 300gm is better than 3kg - and gives you more incentive

Eluned great work hun!

[Laranna]

Awesome work everyone!!

I lost 200grams this week but have not been able to measure so haven't sent anything to you krysalyss.

This week is going to be interesting since there'll be lots of cake! DS's birthday tomorrow so I've made him a cake for him to have after dinner tomorrow night. Then we'll have more cake at Playgroup on Thursday to celebrate his bday and then the grand finale cake on Saturday when all the family is coming over for afternoon tea. Hopefully, I'll be so busy I won't have time to eat crap!

Hi Girls, just subscribing to the new thread, well done to everyone on more great results! I'm hoping for a better week this week and I second the thanks to you Krysalyss, if you ever need a hand or get sick of doing it let me know, happy to help out.

Where's all the smiley faces gone in this new BB?

Thanks ~ Kim ~, just joining in this week so HOPEFULLY i can keep motivated and loose some KG's.
Doing a bit of a food shop today so will be looking at making a few changes in the house.

When it comes to cooking do you use oil or oil spray etc, we have a non stick pan thats not so NON-STICK so need to use something but want to cut out some of the fats in the meat we eat.

I have a steamer so might need to bring that old baby out too, steamed carrots etc... mmmm

GL everyone.

:yeahthat: Thanks so much!

Well done ladies!
Just a question about measuring the waist. I read that you take the measurement across your belly button but I get such inconsistent readings. I also figure if I do it this way, any kind of bloating is going to be recorded so will fluctuate whereas if I measure where my hand go on my hips it much smaller (like nearly 10cm for me)...where do you measure?

[MrsFabuloso]

Tinsel, I take my waist measurement as the smallest part of my torso, hips the widest part and my breast measurement around my nipples. HTH

[~Kim~]

:yeahthat:
My true waist is nowhere near my bellybutton.

[krysalyss]

I measure across my belly button as that is where the government guidelines for a healthy waistline measure. But for the purposes of measuring your loss it doesn't really matter as long as you are consistent.
