Losers! (BBW/BHM thread..)

jellyfishjen

Good idea to plan Verity. I should try that. See you on the new thread.

chiliflea

LOTS of newbies on the new thread! Our little group is no more - :sad: :sad:

Reckon we should keep this group going in secret!!

idahogirl71

I agree 100% with both of you ~ chili & rachy ~ lots of new people on there....where did they all come from so sudden like??

jellyfishjen

It did feel strange seeing new people, but then maybe its good and we will get some fresh ideas and motivation. When i saw all the new peeps I invited Steph-123. I got to know her on a Jillian Michaels 30 day challenge we were doing. Only 3 of us stuck to the challenge. And i also invited the other one cricketkate is her name. But haven't heard from her yet. Those who are meant to stay will, some may again drop by the wayside. Love secret club Losers.

Haha, yeah it is always hard to be exclusive on here. Got scared me too and i like this little group of ours. Gonna be tough to keep track of both of these groups though. And as Jen said, some of them will drop out sooner rather than later, but i'll try to be nice to them lol Now im off to do some balcony cleaning hopefully i will burn some calories during...

rachypompa

I agree with Jenn, we'll lose some over the next few weeks and then it won't be so bad ... made me feel REALLY nervous at first, but I'm happy to see how it develops ... I'm so pleased it wasn't just me that was a bit freaked by so many newbies!

i don't think i'm goihng to get to do my shred today girls... Brac, my son, is ill and won't let me out of his sight... Thought I might be able to swap with my OH and get 30 mins exercise in but he won't have it... Will try and do it later... Will be very careful with what I eat and stay under the ol calories...

Dont you worry, focus on the calories and the most important thing - your son. And so what if it'll take 31 days instead of 30...

chiliflea

Thanks hanna... Needed that... Xx

chiliflea

Me again! I managed day 2 od the 30 ds! Woo hoo! OH put the baby to bed and sat with DS while I have a bit of me time!

jellyfishjen

Glad you got to do the shred Claire, but dont push yourself too much. Family first. And remember it took me 55 days to do 30 days. So thats your target to beat. How is your son today?

chiliflea

He seems a lot better today thanks Jenni... Went the whole night without being sick... I'll give him today off school aswell as see how he goes..

30 day shred wise are you on level 1 still? I can barely manage all the cardio (I should push myself more) and there's 1 set of abs work that I have trouble with - I think it's the bicycle kicks or something oblique work anyway...

I quite like it though! will bare in mind I have to beat 55 days! not sure if i'll manage it this weekend as I'm off to see Kylie... Soooooo looking forward to it! Nice weekend away with my best friend... We're both going to try and not drink much - me for calories and her as she's starting IVF...

Glad he is bettter, and a day off school is best.

30 day shred is tough. I had to build on everything. Those bicycle crunches took me a loong time to even work out the muscles and how to get them working, I can now push myself to ten. Then I just do regular crunches to the end. I was feeling pretty good tonight though and so since I didnt shred at all yesterday, I have just done level 1 and level 2. So can i count that as 2 days? I find level 1 tough enough still, but wanted to try level 2 again. Its tough and I just dont have the strength for some of the exercises but give it my best. I've never timed the sessions but just put it as 20 min circuit training. Worried MFP may rate that as a higher calorie burn than it is.

How nice to have a weekend away. Relax and Enjoy.

rachypompa

Well done Claire, it's so tough dealing with sick kids and can easily be a reason to give up, but you didn't let it be that way. So well done.

I am having the weekend away with my best friend this weekend as well! CANNOT WAIT!! Although i don't think we will be as strict with the drinking haha!!
Have the best time

It's been a couple of days since I have been on here, but am doing okay. Yesterday I went out of town and looked at some houses. My husband and I are working on buying our first house and have narrowed it down from 28 to 3 choices. We will walk through them on Wednesday with the realtor and put in an offer on the one we decide on. I am excited but if we get it we will be moving 36 miles from where we currently live. Not bad except all our friends and family will be separated from us and will have a mountain pass between us. It is fine this time of year, but I am not going over the pass in the winter.

Food and exercise wise I am still doing okay. I am on day 21 of the hcg diet and today we added our first serving of grass-fed beef to the mix. We will see what that does to the scale. I went to one of our local health food stores today for the first time and love it!! It is the biggest health food store I have been into. And their prices are not bad for everything being organic and soy.

I am not losing as fast on this program as I thought I would. I really think my body wants more calories than it is getting. But we are at the half-way mark with it so I don't want to give up on it just yet. I want to see it through for the next 21 days and see what happens in the end.

Have a good weekend everyone!!

Ooh i didn't know this one was still going! Hai!

I am off to the gym to burn off the calories I had last night, but my hangover is not letting me!

chiliflea

Hellooooooooooooooooooooo!

Hannastyrbjorn

Hi there!

chiliflea

I've had such a glorious day today... the sun has been shining and it's lifted me out of the glumness that follows being ill :happy:

Haven't been able to any strenuous exercise yet, a couple of walks to and from my sons school is easing me back in there gently and i'm hoping to try my zumba wii out before the end of the week...

If the woman who bought some jeans off me on ebay would just pay for them I could order my roller skates and then be teaching myself how to skate! Is 31 too old to learn?! I hope not! :bigsmile:

jellyfishjen

Claire, never too old to learn new tricks. Although there comes an age when bones dont heal so quick. But since you are not that age or anywhere near. Go for it.

poorcopies

Claire you could take up roller derby! My friend plays for a welsh team!

Ha ha! Food for thought! lol :bigsmile:

idahogirl71

omg I have not been on roller skates since I was 12 (I was 160 pounds then). I would be afraid of killing myself. Or worse yet would be that I would fall and not be able to get back up...lol. Now wouldn't that be a site?!? Claire, you are NEVER too old to try new things, unless you are dead. My grandmother is 82 1/2 yrs old and can outdo me at any physical activity. Why? Because she lost weight several years ago and does not let her age slow her down. She walks 5 miles everyday and does not seem like she is 82. I believe from seeing her over the last 10 years that it is never to late to start, so long as you take that first step. So girl, get those skates and proudly give them a try!! You'll be amazed at how many calories you can burn using them. And how fun they can be.

chiliflea

Thanks Tammi... I will be ordering them as soon as I have the money! I'll either be whizzing about or hobbling on crutches! :bigsmile: :laugh:

rachypompa

OMG Claire! What a riot! I might have to get me some roller skates too, that would be so much fun ... mind you theres a place on waterfront that hires them, maybe I'll do that first!!! Never too old I reckon ... I used roller skate as a kid, loved it, but when I think of the mad things we did .... like going down very steep roads ... thank goodness none of us ever met a car coming the other way ....

idahogirl71

hey Claire -- I am on the hcg protocol through the 23rd then increase my calories to 800-1000 for 3 wks then go back on the hcg for another round of 43 days.

chiliflea

Well it's certainly working for you Tami! You're doing great! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
