    Hi everyone!

    How excited are we all about the 11th Week Challenge!? I can't wait to hear what it is...has anyone any thoughts on what they'd really like it to be so we can perhaps incorporate into the coming weeks!?

    Hello everyone! I haven't checked in for a while - hope everyone is doing well. So glad to hear you're okay, Bikinimission! And as always, hugs to you, Sarah. xo

    I don't weigh weekly, but my usual weigh-in day fell last week - I lost 2 pounds in September. Doesn't sound like much but I'm a VERY slow loser since hitting the 4-oh mark - and slower as time goes on and as I approach goal weight. I did hit my 25 pound mark with this loss though, so I'm a happy girl :happy: 10 more to go til I'm content (and reach Christmas challenge goal) and 20 more til I'm ecstatic!:laugh:

    I got my extra situps in most days but I did miss one I believe. I was running all day with the cub scouts though, so it's not out of laziness! Well, not exactly anyway. LOL

    I started Power 90 last weekend (Sept. 26) and it includes some yoga, so I'm going to cheat -- er, multitask, and count that as my new exercise. I will admit I've tried it before, but only for a day. I'm not really a fan ... but I'm giving it a shot.

    Looking forward to this week's challenge!

    I got a new Digital scale for my weight loss. My old one was more to let you know that you moved up 10 lbs. So my new weight is 196.6.
    I pass the challenge.....my new thing was working out without the aid of a trainer. I passed, because my trainer moved away and I still went to the gym my 5 days and I still lost the 2 lbs for the week.
    Next week 194!:bigsmile:

    Hey everyone!

    Oooh it's the start of a new week today! Have I missed what it is?! Ooh the excitement!

    I just wanted to share something...it's soo funny yet soo good...

    I read in a fitness magazine, if you find doing squats boring or a chore, then do them whilst you're brushing you're teeth in the morning and at night, that way you'll be doing WAY more squats than what you would normally do in a week and I tried it this morning! Omg! Proper squats, I managed 20 whilst I was brushing my teeth, which means 20 tonight which means 40 squats a day x 7 days OMG! Anyway I was quite bemused at myself bobbing up and down in the bathroom mirror. I thought it was a good tip!

    14th Week of Christmas - no chocolate!
    13th Week of Chrismast - 50 sit ups a day at least
    12th Week of Christmas - try a new exercise
    11th Week of Christmas............................................................:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Happy 11th Week of Christmas!

    HELLOOOOO CHRISTMAS CHALLENGERS!!

    Can you belive we're on week 4 already? I tried to do a quick count to see how many of us are doing the challenge now but I stopped at 111 - WOW!

    Hope everyone enjoyed last weeks challenge? There's been lots of great ideas floating around here on the thread. Personally I tried Bodypump and loved it apart from the instructor who was a little creepy! I'm going to go again this week with a different instructor and hopefully it will become part of my routine. It's funny, I've been working out pretty regularly for the last few months with the 30 Day Shred and thought that Bodypump wouldnt be too hard after that but boy my arms and legs ached afterwards!

    Anyway, on to the week 4 challenge!!


    On the 11th week of Christmas MFP challenged me... TO TRY OUT A NEW HEALTHY RECIPE!

    Ok, I thought that this week we could turn the thread into a healthy recipe exchange! I'm sure that some of you cook from scratch a lot and I'm also sure that some of you don't so this challenge might be harder for some of you than others. The KEY POINTS for this weeks challenge are:

    1. You have to cook/bake/prepare a healthy meal or snack that you've never made before
    2. You must prepare the meal or snack using raw ingredients (sticking a ready meal you've not tried before in the microwave is cheating!!)
    3. You must share your recipe and your results to inspire the other Christmas Challengers!


    Ok, for those of you that are despairing about this week let me remind you that this challenge is only as difficult as you choose to make it. You don't have to spend a fortune to make a quick, healthy meal or snack from scratch and it doesn't have to be very time consuming either. Do a google search for inspiration or even try a search on these boards, you'll be surprised at how many cheap and easy ideas there are.

    I hope everyone enjoys this weeks challenge and also reading about the recipes that the other challengers have chosen. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing some healthy dessert recipes as I have a very sweet tooth :)

    Ok, finally, if you haven't already then it's time to post your Week 3 results below. Thanks to everyone who's already done so. Has anyone thought about having this as their signature?

    Hi everyone!
    I can't believe how much I am enjoying this challenge! One thing I really like about it is the fact that you can see how everyone loses weight at different rates...I was thinking this morning how years ago I went to Weight Watchers..and I would go in and get weighed and keep that number all to myself. Thinking that if I lost less than a pound, like say .8 what I lost this week, then I had failed. You always hear that 2lbs per week is ideal...well it's nice to see on here how different everyone is. Some of us are having a couple pound loss and others are losing more slowly, or maintaining, or even going up a pound or two. But we're not alone! This challenge lets us see how there is at least one other person having the same sort of results! And this makes me feel so much more relaxed on my approach! So thank you!!

    I started INSAINTY this Sunday. I have owned this for about 6 months or more, but just didnt want to attempt it after I put a video in to look at it...it just looked too hard and too much work for me! Well, I did it and I was right it is hard!!! It is so hard! I have been doing it every day since Sunday!

    I like this new challenge. I have been wanting to cook these sweet potato breafast bars from the 'Eating Clean' book so that is what I"m going to try! I think I will make them tonight or tomorrow night!

    good luck everyone with this weeks challenge!

    My results are in my signature!

    Hi fellow Christmas Challengers. I had a very emotional week this week. My beloved jeep took a swim in the intercoastal this weekend. We were putting our boat in and once we had the boat off the trailer, the jeep slipped on all the algae and slipped right in the water:-( Not sure about what the adjusters are going to do yet but it was salt water. So not a good week, emotional eater and not a lot of working out. But I am back on the schedule again thanks to some motivation from Hockey247.

    470 calories per portion

    30ml sunflower oil
    2 cloves garlic, crushed

    1 red and 1 yellow pepper, seeded and sliced into strips

    Stir in the sesame seeds and the sauce, then heat for about five minutes or until warmed though.

    4. Spatchcocked Mexican Chicken with Sweetcorn Salsa
    (Serves 4)



    This recipe was developed by South African chef Peter Goffe-Wood - a barbeque classic!

    INGREDIENTS:
    1 whole organic chicken
    Juice and zest of 3 limes
    5 cloves of garlic, crushed
    3 tablespoons ground cumin
    2 tablespoons smoked paprika
    1 tablespoon dried crushed chillies
    Extra virgin olive oil
    Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Sweetcorn salsa:
    6 whole corns on the cob, blanched
    2 red peppers, char-grilled, skinned and diced
    ½ red onion, finely chopped
    3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
    5cm root ginger, peeled and finely chopped
    Juice and zest of 1 lemon
    Extra virgin olive oil
    Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
    1 handful chopped flat leaf parsley and basil

    METHOD:
    1. Spatchcock the chicken, by cutting out its backbone and flattening the breast part, and place in a glass bowl. Rub the chicken with the rest of the ingredients and leave to marinade for at least an hour or overnight in the fridge.

    2. Place the chicken on the barbeque and leave to cook for about 45 minutes or until juices run clear when meat is pierced with a skewer. (Cooking time may be less as it has been spatchcocked.) If you are cooking the chicken in an oven, place it in an oven-proof casserole dish and cook at 200° C/gas mark 6 for about 30-40 minutes or until juices run clear.



    For the Sweetcorn Salsa, place the blanched corn on the grill and leave to chargrill. Remove from the fire and
    shuck the corn. Mix the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, lemon zest and juice together, season with salt and pepper and leave to marinade for 10 minutes. Then mix the sweetcorn and red pepper in, followed by the chopped herbs.
    Portion the chicken and serve with Sweetcorn salsa.

    50ml bicarbonate of soda
    10ml salt
    20ml vanilla essence

    METHOD:
    1. Beat the eggs and oil together until well emulsified.
    2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until well combined.
    3. This mixture keeps for 1 month in the fridge. When you want to bake muffins, do so in a buttered tin, at 180°C/gas mark 4 for 15-20 minutes.

    Variations: Add grated apple, carrot, cheese, nuts and seeds, blueberries, raisins, dried fruit, banana and cinnamon, or butternut to the mixture and bake.

    Ok good luck! Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Yes. I worked out to my old Bodies in Motion workout dvd's and it was a GREAT workout! I missed it and it was so much better than spending an hour at the gym! I think Im going to start doing the dvd's every morning before work!
