chiliflea

Hey hey peeps... As some of our antipodean members will be heading into Monday before the rest of us I thought I'd create the new group...

Measurements will be :

Neck
Chest
Waist
Hips
Thighs
Upper arm

Happy losing!

Hannastyrbjorn

Claire - Thank you for starting a new thread.

Jenni - Good ideas, I especially love nr. 6. That could be fun. I have a pedometer. Will brainstorm tonight - weigh, take pics and measure tomorrow.

FizzingWhizbee

I shall get my measurements up and goals later on tonight.

Hope all are well today.

Good morning losers

Chest 104.5cm
Waist 94cm
(Belly 103cm)
Hips 103cm
Thighs right 61.5cm

I'll get my hubby to take some pics tonight

My 1, 2, 3, 4

1 hour of skipping (10mins per day + 1 rest day)
2 new meals trialled
3 bootcamps
4 early nights (in bed by 10pm)

Right, I'm working full time for the next 4 weeks, covering for a teacher going away on holiday. So got to shower etc. Happy Monday everyone x

idahogirl71

I was hoping to measure in inches, but if outnumbered for cm I will switch to that.....never been measured that way so should make it interesting .

I will take measurements, weight, and pic tomorrow (as it is only Sunday here).

Hope everyone has a Super Slimming Sunday.....

GOOD MONDAY MORNING to all residents of Loserville.
Our early bird, Rach is already up and off to a good start. Congratulations on your wonderful weight loss. Four weeks work, fantastic. That is good isn't it? I hope you were wanting it. Although it may throw a spanner in your exercise plans, I know I would like the extra income.

I am thrilled to bits with my weigh in this week. 95.3kg. 210LB. Almost made goal. So I guess it was worth all the calorie counting and pushing the exercise last week.


20/6/11
Neck 38cm (15")
Chest 108cm (42.5")
Waist 99cm (39")
Hips 121cm (47.5")
Thighs 67cm (26.5")
Upper arm 31cm (12")
TODAYS WEIGHT 95.3kg (210lb)
GOAL WEIGHT 90kg (198lb) by 29th August 2011

I would actually have liked to be 90kg by 13th Aug for the city to surf but I will be happy so long as I keep heading in that direction.

Perhaps we can post measurements in both, so that we can all understand the numbers. But that makes the village secretary's job harder. So perhaps on this page we can do both, and for the chart , it can be up to Claire as she is the secretary.

1234
1 100 sit ups
2 zumba classes
3 walks
4 Jillian Michael sessions

:flowerforyou:

I did almost add in the inches too this morning, but ran out of time. I like cm as they do down faster!!! I was totally an inches girl until I moved to NZ!

Jenn - I will be happy with the money, but I work part time so I can be with my little girl, so I'll miss her, and I'm worried how she'll cope with being in Daycare every day. It's also good for me to have a taste of full time work, as one day I will need to work full time again!

I will start the brain storming of other challenges, Please poke your nose in with ideas.

1. 10,000 steps a day ( I plan to buy a pedometer this week, does everyone have one)
2. 3,500 calorie burn in a week. (I do like this one)
3 Top 10, 10 of each exercise, such as 10 push ups, 10 sit ups, 10 bicep dips, 10 jumping jacks 10 mins of skipping 10 ???? need 10 different exercises. And we just need to get them done in the week as I'm sure most of us will stick to our regular exercises as well.
4 . One day a week. ban on processed food. Ok this may not be everyones thing. But just brain storming.
5. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Struggling now that it is cold here.
6. How about how many different forms of exercise can we do in one week, walk, run, skip, zumba, kettlehell etc

Ok now its your turn

Great ideas Jenn
7. burn the most in a week. I thought that was good this last week.
8. Nutrition goal, e.g. have to eat x amount of fibre per day, or (the impossible!) aim to stay under the sugar allowance just for one day!!

I don't have a pedometer, but hubby may be able to get me one ... I'll investigate that. I really enjoyed having one the other day.

Top 10 - Jenn's 5 above plus ... 10 lunges (0n each leg?), hold plank position for as long as you can 10 times, 10 scissor kicks ab exercise that I find very tough!, 10 squats ... just need one more ... think it needs to be upper body ... maybe just 10 bicep curls with weights? I like this one, we should do this one next week!

I like the different exercise one, that could be fun!

Hmmmm ... putting my thinking cap on. Will be back later x

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Just weighed and I'm back up to 264lbs! How does that happen?! So I'm taking drastic action and am going to start weighing on a friday... Clearly I can't be good at weekends so am going to weigh on a Friday which means I get a week to sort it out before weighing again... Hope this is ok with all of you...

Anyhoo - 1234 challenge has been slightly modified to...

1 - x 50 crunches per day
2 - litres of water a day
3 - hours at the gym - 2 hour classes and 1 hour gym session
4 - 30 Day Shred sessions

So this week I aim to do 350 crunches! Woo hoo!

As for the rest of it...

SW 264lbs :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

Neck - 36cm
Chest - 103.5cm
Waist - 109cm
Hips - 127cm
Thighs - 65cm
Upper arm - 43cm

Goal weight 245lbs

Jen and Rach - Congrats on your losses! You've both don't fantastic!

I don't understand how i've put 4lbs back on - I haven't been awfully naughty and I'm gyming lots... aaaggghhhh so annoying!

Anyway - once all the weights are in I'll sort out the chart and post the results...

Off to my son's first ever Sports Day this morning! So excited!

poorcopies

Morning all! I can't believe I managed to lose 9lbs in 9 days, crazy. I wasn't far off my goal and I am not far off 3 stone now! Epic!

Anyway, along with Claire, I am also going continue weighing on a Friday, for the same reasons, it did kill me trying to be good this morning!

My starting weight is 262 lbs and I will provide my measurements later.

FizzingWhizbee

Ahhhh... Came to post and see we're doing it in cms not inches. Will be back shortly with info. Just need to convert lol.

Hope everyone is good today. I'm just off for some physio and then I'll be back for another session with that evil woman on 30DS!!

chiliflea

Bloody hell Becci! How did you manage that?! I'm doing everything right and I STILL put on!!

poorcopies

I drank loads of green tea, exercised more than usual and I also started taking a sea kelp supplement, which is supposed to boost metabolism, so maybe that kicked in?

I'd had a gain and only a 1/2 lb loss in the two weeks before, so maybe my body was catching up. I don't expect it to continue!

Hannastyrbjorn

Wow Becci - That is truly awesome. What is the secret?

Jen, Rach - Congratulations!!

Claire - 1 pound up is not that bad. Could be anything but I do get that it is frustrating since you work so hard. Are you drinking enough? Helps mewith water retention due to both DOMS and TOM.

My final weigh in and start weight is 93.6kg (205.9 lbs) which is far from my goal, I really hope I can get to my next goal on time.

SW: 93.6kg (205.9lbs)
GW: 85kg (187lbs) I know that it won't be easy but it's a challenge, right?
Neck: 35cm
Chest: 105.5cm
Waist/Navel: 91cm/106cm
Hips: 116cm
Right upper arm: 38cm
Thighs: 70cm

1,2,3,4 - challenge:

1hundred crunches
2 litres of water per day (even though it is summer I have a hard time drinking enough)
3 x Dumbbell Strength Routine
4 x C25K workouts


Oh and the brainstorming thing is not going very well.

9. Maybe to try something you've never tried before? A new routine, class, something you just made up or never have been able to do because of your previous overweight?

I am sure I have forgotten something. Pics will come up here later this evening when I have a photographer. :laugh:

Work it girls!!

Ooooh, and my goal for 10 weeks is to be at my target weight!? How bonkers is that?!? I just randomly chose 70kg as my target weight, it's the top end of normal for my height ... so I may wish to lose more when I get there. Hmmm ... I may just change my target weight now, when I was 23 I weighed about 68kg, so maybe I should aim for that!? How on earth do you choose your target weight??

Anyway, goal for this 10 week challenge is to be 154lb or 70kg.

Hahaha, well mine is set to the top end of my BMI, maybe you just have to get there to see what you think. Maybe it's not the weight but how you want to look that becomes the factor when you reach the ultimate goal!? Only 10 weeks...

FizzingWhizbee

Okay here's my list...

SW: 101kg (223lbs)
GW: 94kg (208lbs)
Neck: 45cm
Chest: 111cm
Waist: 106cm
Hips: 111cm
Upper arm: 33cm
Thighs: 61cm

1,2,3,4 goals...

1 session of 30Ds per day.
2 litres of water per day
3 sessions of Zumba Wii per week
4 sessions of 30 minutes walking per week

I know the 30DS may be a little ambitious, but I'm going to give it a good go.

Also, well done Beccy! That's some serious going. I think I may have to get on that green tea and sea kelp train with you.

Good luck with the challenge ladies.

jellyfishjen

Ok I've done 10 of my 100 situps, 1 session of Jillian Michaels and 1 Zumba class. Tomorrow is my girls birthday, so I think I will have to make it a rest day and catch up on exercise later in the week. I will go in early in the day to have lunch with her and then Husband and others are coming in for dinner. I have taken photos and they are in my profile. Took them before going to Zumba. My arms are killing me tonight, thank you Jillian, can't even find the strength to wrap Samara's presents.

FizzingWhizbee

I don't have pics yet. There is one full length one on my profile, but I'm in a dress so you can't really see body shape and such. I will get one of my friends to take a pic when they come over. Living alone means it's a nightmare to take full length pics of yourself. I've tried to do it with a mirror so many times, but they never come out well.

chiliflea

Did my 50 crunches at the gym this morning - didn't quite do an hour though but am going again tomorrow at some point... Won't have a chance to do the evil cow today as have a spanish class this evening... And am half way to drinking my 2 litres of water... So far so good!

Great to have you back! Could you post the measurements in cm please..

My "now" photos... Hope to look a bit different in 10 weeks time!

FizzingWhizbee

I may have started with a little too much enthusiasm. I've done 20 mins of 30DS, 45 mins of Zumba, 30 mins of walking and an hour of pretty vigorus (and it really was vigorus) cleaning. MFP is telling me I've burned 1089 calories. I know that the MFP calories is a bit generous with it's calories, so I'm knocking a third off that to be safe. That still leaves me with 726 extra calories to eat. I don't think that's going to be happening tonight on top of what I already have left.

I think tomorrow, may be a tad slower lol.

How's everyone else's day been?

That is a lot of exercise...and I cut of the cal burn estimates from MFP for some activites too. I'm doing great. About to g sneek in a 10 to 15 minute walk.

Hannastyrbjorn

My day has been fine so far. Went for a bad session of C25K this morning. had to walk a little in the last interval. And in the afternoon me and my friend took a long walk for about 2h...
Tomorrow we will walk some more but first thing tomorrow morning is to build some muscle. My first dumbbell routine. Lets see how it turns out!

So the before pics.... not flattering!

poorcopies

I need to get some before pics but I don't really want pics on a public site, so i might just post them on my profile when i do.

Chest: 112 cm (we did do under bust, right?)

2 hours swimming
3 gym sessions
4 hours walking

idahogirl71

This is my first time posting my measurements so am a bit hesitant about doing so...especially since I am the biggest girl in the group, but I figure I have been posting my weight so may as well buck up and do this too. And I know I am loved so I guess no harm will come of it.

SW: 327.8 pounds
GW: 300

neck: 14.5 in / 37.3 cm
chest: 44 in / 112.1 cm
waist: 47 in / 119.8 cm

rt thigh: 31 in / 79.2 cm
rt arm: 15 in / 38.6 cm

I will get my now pics posted probably tomorrow. They will definitely NOT be in shorts and sports bra.....that would chase everyone away!! But I will do in a dress, in pants and blouse, and possibly shorts & tank top (not sure on that one yet). How do I post them on here?

1,2,3,4 challenge:

1 gal water/tea daily
2 gym workouts
3 walks (min 1 mi each)
4 hrs wii sports

Hannastyrbjorn

I measured my bust, not under - will modify my number if I measured at the wrong place...

jellyfishjen

Hanna, I measured my bust, not under also.


Rach, I know how you feel about working and day care balance. Its a tough one. Hopefully your daughter will enjoy the 4 weeks in day care. And how wonderful to be so close to your goal. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Then you can decide if you want to go further or not. I have put my goal weight as 75kg. Some charts say 65kg. When I was a dancer my weight was between 59 and 61kg. I don't think that thin would suit me now.

Tami, we love you know matter what the numbers are. Photo's are the scariest. I think we need to workshop loving ourselves in photos.

Hannastyrbjorn

Rach - I personally loved day care. I hope she will do so as well.

Tami - I had to do some thinking whether to post in sports bra nd shorts, but i figured that it's only you guys and that is how i've been dressed in my pics since January. Definitely not how I am dressed while working out. You are loved no matter what size or shape you are.
