Who is in this round?

DH has signed up

So I'm doing it too.

I lost 20 in round 1 this year, no more since (well I did, but then I put it back on ... most people lose weight when they get sick, I apparently gain it )

I'm aiming to lose 15, but would love to drop another 20.

In terms of other measure-ables, I'm aiming to do the 10km Stampede in October (did the 5km last year) and I'd like to drop 2 dress sizes.

[peanutter]

Anyone?

[RhiChiChi]

Thinking about it but I go away the 10th August so not too sure if I should ;-P

[Astrid]

No official sign up, but will redo the menu plans that I have.

[beansbeans!]

I'm tempted to do another round, but still tossing up whether its worth it or not for me.

[Ree*Ree]

I'm all signed up! My mum is doing round 2 at the moment, and is looking and feeling great!
I've had a few of the meals and they're delicious, so I'm quite looking forward to the meal plans.
My goal is to lose 20kgs. No idea how that weight will look on me, so may reassess later on

[Beach Mama]

I've signed up! Need to lose 10 kegs lost 2 in preseason but had a baaaad weekend so far . I've done all my preseason tasks so far and can't wait for the rd to start!!!!

[Beach Mama]

Kegs haha! Almost- silly tapatalk on iPad won't let me edit!!!!

Wll I definitely need a HRM and calorie counter for exercise? Just not sure how I squeeze another $100 out of the budget for something that isn't a necessity. Might get a chealy watch that takes pulse from HK or something.

[Astrid]

I found a HRM handy, as it let me work approx what I was burning in an average workout and how hard I need to/or not to push myself (like when walking the dog). So I found it was not needed for every workout, but handy to put on every now and then. I did not get mine till about half way through the season and I was already getting results.

There are times I wish I got a pedometer instead (contemplating FitBit), just so I can see what I am doing on a daily basis outside of workouts.

[Ree*Ree]

Week 1 plans are live!

[peanutter]

woot!

will have to get them all in order tomorrow.

[Mother Goose]

I'm seriously considering it but I go back to work the day it starts. Really worried about the time required to make the meals - I need quick and easy on work days. Anyone got some
Insight?

[Ree*Ree]

My mum just finished round 2, and said just about every meal was simple and quick to make

[peanutter]

MG: most of the meals can be prepped and cooked in 30 minutes. Some friends of mine have ignored the lunches and just made doubles of the dinner and had it for dinner and then lunch the next day, reheated on medium in the microwave.

Some of the meals involve roasting pumpkin/beetroot/etc and so take longer - but you can check out the recipes at the start of the week and decide what you are and aren't prepared to do.

[beansbeans!]

Well I just signed back up after having last round off, this time it's a running program I'm focusing on, it shall be interesting I think.

Re the food, you can tailor your meals totally, so you can pick meals that have a shorter cooking time on nights that you are short of time, or swap for meals that are more suited to your families taste (happens here a lot!)

[Beach Mama]

HRM arrived today, yay just need some batteries and I printed off all recipes today just need to sort out a folder. Still haven't had time to have a good play with the recipes, I don't really like muesli so need to work out really fast options instead.

[peanutter]

I meant to print all the stuff out yesterday, but I totally forgot. In bed now with no plans of getting out any time soon.
