The Sticky-NY-Resolutions Club

xXmimiXx

Hello everyone!

As is normal for me I did very well all through the year until just before my holiday – when it really mattered – and then I have been off/on since! Now, 5 days before Christmas, when let’s face it the food is not going to be healthy – (but who cares it is Christmas) – I seem to have found my mojo again! Go figure!

Anyway, after seeing Shakira (OMG!!!!) in Manchester on Tuesday I’ve decided my New Year’s Resolution this year is going to be to get the body, fitness and health I’ve been going on and on about since I was about 18 NO EXCUSES, no post-January failings! I know, I know, we probably all say this every year and come mid January we’ve failed. Well I am determined to break the mould and would you to join me!

In other words I want a STICKY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION…!

Does anyone else want to join me? We can post different workouts, ideas, perhaps all do the same exercises some days, promote healthy food, encourage each other and keep each other accountable? Keep it entertaining with “Jennifer Aniston’s Leg’s Week” etc!

I’d love for some of you to join me! If people would like to join me, I’ll keep a note of all of you and send you all a message on January 1st! I feel GOOOOOOOOOOOOD about 2011!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

I'm in, I'm in!!!!!

I am already starting to panic about what I have been eating recently, and its not really started yet!! Got my works to tomorrow which starts with champagne tasting at 11 am, then on to a big Chinese (which is my fave food), I dread to think how many cals will be involved!!! But hey ho, life is for living so I will enjoy it and try to get some exercise in on Thursday to make up for it!!!

Like the idea of us doing the same work outs!! Great idea Mimi and we can defo encourage each other!!! I have a 10k in April, I have done 2 previously and finished in just over an hour, so my main aim for 2011 so far is to finish the 10k comfortably under an hour!!

So yep count me in and look forward to hearing more in the new year!!

I'm going to join you too!! I'm actually really proud because for the first year ever I stuck to my NY resolution and lost weight! This year my resolution is going to be to get back into the gym or buy more fitness dvds and sculpt my body. I'm also going to give up alcohol, crisps and crunchie bars for all of January

Kate_UK

I'm in! I did great up until the begining if December, and now I'm already 3lbs up, bring on January and some butt kicking exercise!

melgibson

My Marvelous Magical Mimi!!!

We can do this!!! Of course, as always, you can count me in!!!!
I feel excited that 2011 will be the year where I do actually reach my goal, last year I made a lot of big changes and put into practice all those rules that are needed to reach my goal, but the goal itself takes sometime to get to and stay at, and to truly change and sculpt a body from ''OK'' to ''perfection'' takes time!!!

2011 will mean running and a lot of it for me. I have already seen my shape change in pleasing ways but now I want to really tone and reach exactly where I want to be, I am sure that another year of this and I will be living in the best body I've ever had!!!
I'm also looking forward to trying out some new exercise DVD's at home, with more snow and bad weather we need other ways to keep active and not start slacking off because we can't exercise outside.
I can't wait for some new challenges and make more progress again in 2011!!!

This year is not done, we still have to look our best for the Christmas party session and NYE!!! So try your best girlies and do what you can xxxx And when next year rolls around we can all start again, and do better than ever xxxx

All the best xxxxxx :flowerforyou:

Hi Mimi,

You always have great inspiring challenges, so count me in! I actually tried super hard this year and only budged off about 15 pounds or so, and here I am at my last 10 and I dont care what, but its coming off of me, and I too, want to be in the best shape ever for 2011!

Enjoy the holidays, and try to get some exercise in where you can, and then I am actually going to start my butt kicking on Dec 26th!

All the best!

kendrafallon

Count me in!!

I've not weighed myself for almost a month and have promised myself I'll weigh myself tomorrow. Not looking forward to it I can tell you!!

I got stuck at the same weight for weeks. But I'm starting over and going to aim to lose at least 2 dress sizes by the summer.

Good luck all!!!

kendrafallon

I've not weighed myself for almost a month and have promised myself I'll weigh myself tomorrow. Not looking forward to it I can tell you!!

It was NOT pretty :sad: :sad: :sad: Over half a stone put on since ...well, I don''t know when. So I should really have been prepared, in some way, for how bad it is. But, on the plus side, I do know how bad it is and can start doing something about it!!

hdelamore

Happy new year everybody
Hope everyone had a lovely day ! xx

kendrafallon

Woohoo!! 1st weigh in for the new year and 1st weight loss :noway: :laugh: :noway: :laugh: 3-whole-lbs!!

I've been easing myself into eating properly again - that is no over-doing the booze, chocolate and high-calorie-but-oh-so-yummy-food but not denying myself anything either. I had also planned on doing some exercise this week, but that didn't quite happen...:blushing:

Anyhoo, just wanted to check in with you all. Take care

xXmimiXx

Hello Everyone! :bigsmile:

Happy NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drinker:

Ok so, after 2 weeks of what feels like continuous eating and drinking :embarassed: let's get ready to rock those New Year Resolutions!

I figure as it's the first week, we should start off with something easy so this week our 3 step plan IS <drum roll if you please> :-

1. Do 2 minutes of bicycle crunches every day...Jillian will be proud!
2. Drink 8 Glasses of water every day AT LEAST
3. WEIGH OURSELVES...some of you may have done this already, I have not....eeek!

Then next week we'll get started with the step by step guide to getting a body like... ________ <insert your dream body idol here...Mine is Shakira!>

Ok folks GOOD LUCK! Let's keep each other updated on how we're doing either by this thread or on our walls :flowerforyou:

Lots of love! Mimi xxx

Hello Baby Cakes!! ((Mimi)) xxx
AND ALL xxx :flowerforyou:

I hope everyone has had a fabulous Christmas and New Year!?!?!
I had a really good one, NYE was great had such a good time, even though was working, it was a great night and I got lots of lovely compliments from people, Awww :happy:

So it's 2011, and time to get back on track, even though I did a pre NYE detox I didn't do very well at sticking to it perfectly and did not lose very much, just too many damn treats around to tempt me :sad:

I weighed in this morning and reset my ticker today, 7 stone 13lbs I'm up a good few lbs after NYE and all the Christmas treats but I guess that is to be expected and NOW is the time to get that moving down again...
I have written myself a new eating plan to banish all those treats and naughty things that ruin my efforts elsewhere, I've also set a rather high goal with my exercise targets, running 5 times a week, 3 shreds a week, 3 turbo jams a week, walking as much as possible (I walking), weights and sit ups daily and then other additional workout DVD's and activities each week as much as I can fit in time wise.
Even if I don't reach this goal weekly I will be doing plenty of exercise and exercising daily, so that is my main aim.

So I shall be swapping some of my regular sit ups for air bike crunches this week!!! And still do 2 minutes of regular sit ups - daily, thanks Mimi for the challenge, I need to do these daily of they don't get done enough.
I'll get drinking the water - this is an area where I do need to improve, I tend to drink about 5-6 glasses a day on average so a few extra might help me shift these lbs quicker.

I have no idea whose body I will be aiming for, I'll think on this, there must be someone petite and totally toned out there?!?!
Suggestions welcome!!!

I can't wait to hear how everyone does xxxx Good luck all xxxx

Is it too late to join?? :ohwell:

I'm in major need of a good butt kickin' and some motivation!

I weighed in Monday at 128.6 ( :sick: )

I want a body like MEGAN FOX! :laugh:

Bicycle crunches? Bring it on! :bigsmile:

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for posting the challenge Mimi! I have also updated my ticker and am not happy with it at all. I havent done crunches in a while, so that will be a great start!! As for celebrities, I cant think of one yet! I am trying to find one who has similar measurements of what I used to be and what I want to get back to! My goal is to get back to : 34-24-34I am about 5'6 and a half I think!
I am usually an hourglass shape, when I get to my goal weight but with all my sitting I now do at work, I feel a bit more like a pear!

For now I will pick: Kelly Brook! I love the way she looks, and she has curves while being toned!

I hope everyone finds motivation with their celebrity body goals! I know looking up Kelly Brrok has just motivated me even more! Great idea Mimi!

Matt_S_1978

Painful, I weighed myself down the gym and I am heavier than when I started last time back in August. 92kg now. So it's now 17kg by April 7th 2011

Big target to hit.

Of course it's not too late!!!! Good to have you on board hunny!! ((And glad your still with us))

How is everyone doing with their bicycle crunches? I've managed so far but have to say was so tired yesterday that I nearly didn't get them in, feeling much better today after a big sleep!! LOADS to do today to catch up, and I will not be running today it's raining so hard outside!! Work tonight for me - no doubt will be tired again soon enough!!!

Good luck to everyone this week xxxx :drinker:

OH NO!!! Still this is the place to be to put that right!!!
I think we're all feeling rather 'heavy' after christmas and NY, I know I do :sad:
We can do this!!! Let's get cracking ... no time like the present, Good luck mate

Matt_S_1978

hehe thanks Mel. Feeling better already, certainly with the no smoking too. Hopefully be able to push a little more down the gym tonight. First time back is always the hard one, from now on should be better.

What's everyone's plans for the weekend ?????

Aww Your welcome!!
I quit smoking about 2 and a half years ago, was one of the hardest things I have ever done, and it does take ages to feel any real benefit for stopping. But there is no doubt about it I can do so much more now, I'm a much fitter person and feel better over all.
I just completed my first EVER 45 minute non stop run!!! There is no way I would have ever done that whilst smoking!!

Good luck to you, and I'm sure you'll do fine in the gym, the first week back is ALWAYS tough, but it's worth the effort xx

Weekend plans are work and workout!!!
Getting back on track has been hard this week but I feel better already.
I'm starting Turbo Jam tomorrow!!!
Can't wait, it looks sooo much fun!!

Have a good one EVERYONE!!! xxx

Good Morning and Happy Monday Fellow Post It People! (Eupehnism for sticky as sticky people sounds a but like :noway: )

I hope you all had FABULOUS weekends!

How did you all get on with the three tasks? Did you weigh yourselves? Did you drink lots of water? Did you do the bicycle crunches?

I'm sure you all managed just fine because let's face it we're all amazing :drinker: Hehe!

Our hot body theme inspiration this week is SHAKIRA (of course I had to start with her guys she is my absolute inspiration!) and what does Shakira have that everyone wants (well everything! But in particular?) an AMAZING stomach, no muffin top going on with Shakira so this week our exercises are:-

1) MINIMISE YOUR MUFFIN TOP with Bicycle crunches...now I know we did this last week, but they're the BEST and we don't want to undo our hardwork after only one week do we! No, no, no! They work your waist and your love handles. Can't go wrong!

2) ELIMINATE JELLY BELLY works the lower belly which gets flabby. I love this exercise, it really works and you can really feel it. This exercise is from Absolute Fitness, for a video on how to do it look here http://www.handbag.com/video/#v21656026001 it's an amazing exercise!

3) The Plank...1 minute. Great for core strength and abs of steely lovelieness!

Exercises 1 & 2 aim for 3 sets of 20 at least 4 times a week, 5 if possible!

Next week we tackle fat bra strap back, bingo wings and getting a firm bust/chest!

Good luck everyone, I'll check in with you during the week and let me know how you're getting on

Lots of love, Mimi xxxxxxxxx

Helllloooooo!!!! My Lovely Mimi!!! :flowerforyou:
And ALL!!! :drinker:

Last week was my first week back to a regular and challenging exercise plan, I have had swine flu - I think - it's still lingering and I still feel tired a lot of the time, but I did my best, I weighed myself - that was upsetting... I shall weigh in again tomorrow although I don't hold out much hope as TOM is around the corner and I know I have gained some water weight. :grumble:
BUT... I feel so much more toned and solid, especially in my legs, so the running and all the other exercises are working.
I reached my personal exercise goal last week (( Running - minimum of 75 minutes, 3 turbo jam workouts, 3 shred workouts, daily weights and sit ups, walking as much as possible and one other workout dvd just to mix things up )) even though I had to complete in 6 days rather than 7 so I was pleased with that. :happy:
I also completed my first ever 45 minute non stop run!!! So I have definitely got back into my running and will be able to carry on with my goals from now on, I shall be setting myself various routes to run.
I have started Turbo Jam, and it was really good fun, I can't wait to get good enough to keep up with them and have all the moves perfected, I think it'll be such good fun!!
I also did my first session on Yoga in months - purely because I was sooo tired I couldn't face a cardio workout!!
Being achey and tired and doing yoga was really good, usually I don't feel anything when I do yoga but this was really nice as it soothed all my muscles and I could feel each pose working!! I MUST do yoga more often, it was a nice change and I feel better for it today.

I managed to get the bicycle crunches in 4 days out of 6, so nearly completed that, but I also did three level 1 shreds so there are bicycle crunches in there too so I think I pretty much covered that :noway:

And WATER!!! I have upped my water intake although I still find it hard to drink 8 big glasses a day, I'm only tiney tiny so I reckon that 6 glasses is probably enough for my little bod!!
I shall continue to work on this and increase as best I can. :huh:

I have done pretty well with my eating too, tidied up some bad habits and done my best to stick to 3 meals and one snack ONLY!!! I think I will do better this week, the first week back is always the hardest!!!

Ok, so lets get started on ELIMINATING THOSE JELLY BELLY'S!!! Love this Mimi!! :laugh:

Good Luck to one and all :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Hi guys,

I am in this with you, however, I am recovering from flu, and I know I sound like I am using it as an excuse, but it has completely wiped me out. Gonna have at least this week off exercise, as I just dont have the energy!

I weighed in this morning, and was a shocking 10.11!!!!!! I was bang on 10 in September so my aim is to get this back down asap, I am obviously disapointed, but not too worried as am confident I can loose a good chunk of this addition pretty quickly now I am back in work and back into a routine! I was terrible food wise over Christmas (which goes without saying), then got flu on new years day and surrived on Lucazade and Locets which are both full of sugar, so am hoping the extra 11 lb's will be easy to shift once I start eating healthy food again. Fingers crossed can get back to the gym next week!

I am going to change my weigh on here now. Am also considering weighing in everyday, I wont change it officially on here until each Friday (my usual weigh day), but think if I post it on my status it may help me stay focused!!

Did any body watch a program on BBC 1 on Thursday called '10 things you need to know about loosing weigh', it was on fairly late, it was really good and showed you the science behind each fact, i.e. soup keeps you fuller for longer, exercise burns fat for 24 hours, Breakfast should include a good portion of protein. If you didnt see it, its on the BBC iPlayer at ther mo, and would recommend a watch. I have had soup for my lunch and planning to get off the bus a couple of stops early tonight just to get that little bit of exercise in.

Good luck with the sticky resolutions guys, I am on my 4th glass of water at the mo so I will at least be sticking to one of them.

Matt - I am also giving up smoking, I only do it when I am out drinking :drinker: :drinker: so mid week isnt a problem and I havent been out yet due to flu so my test will be my next night out!!! Hope you do well. Do you have an iphone? I have got a couple of app's that work out how much dosh you save by not smoking and also sends you daily tips and motivational facts. Could help you stay on track.

Chat soon guys.
