Sounds interesting! Is this a Closed Group or no? I don't know how many pounds 3kg are, but I'd love to get more info., if not too late to join.

I am very supportive, but hoping it won't be one-sided. I need the extra boost. Well, thanks for the consideration!!!

Yay thanks for making another group Bree!! You're amazing! I'm ready to give it my all this month. Starting at the same weight I did last month of 59.3kg, I would love to get to 56.5 by the end of the month but I would be happy with 57. I havn't decided on my final goal yet but somewhere between 50 and 54kg

My goal for this month exercise wise is to go to the gym 3-4 days a week and to start including more strength training in my workout and to go for a run every sunday morning.
I'm also trying to cut back on the chocolate (including hot chocolate) and eat healthier in general.

Good luck everyone! We can do it!!

Hi there,

I've love to join - I'm off to the USA in October & my goal was to be 77kg by then (it was set months ago & was more realistic at the time) I'm currently battling through plateau/maintainence or something & have tried a few things to get the weight loss happening again so here goes...

CW:86.6kg (last weight in, this morning was 87)
TW: 83kg but ideally a bit less....

Excercise - bootcamp, pt, kettlebell/cardio sessions

Thanks for organising

aegira

Yay we're back for September, you're awesome Bree :flowerforyou: .
Okay, given that I currently have a chest infection I am trying to control what I eat this week but I've decided that I can at least try to do some weight exercises and crunches as long as I'm not silly.
Starting 73kg
September Goal 4kg
Christmas goal 57kg (Christmas day already decided: BBQ and salads)
Ultimate 50th Birthday goal: 50kg
Measurements: Neck: 34.5, Chest: 113cm, Waist: 95cm Hips: 101.5cm
Exercises: gym, 30DS, Biggest Loser, walking and if I'm really, really, brave I'm going to try running to see how my arthritis handles it :laugh:
WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER everyone, let's do this :drinker:

breezad

YYYYYAAAAAAYYYYYY:happy:

WELCOME NEWBIES AND THE LADIES FROM LAST MONTH!
SO GOOD TO SEE ALL OF YOU ON HERE AGAIN AND WILLING TO GIVE THIS MONTH ANOTHER SHOT!!!

IM LOVING ALL YOUR EXERCISE GOALS, I THINK EXERCIS AND MEASUREMENT GOALS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE NUMBER ON THE SCALES. CAUSE SOMETIMES AND WE ALL KNOW THAT THEY LIKE TO PLAY GAMES AND NOT MOVE.
SO BY HAVING EXERCISE AND MEASURMENTS INCLUDED IT REALLY GIVES US A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF OUR BODIES AND THE CHANGES!

I THINK WE SHOULD ALL ADD IN AT LEAST AN EXTRA 2MINS TO OUR EXERCISE EACH DAY!
2MINS ISNT LONG IS IT?? PFFFT NO WAY!!!! CHECK OUT THE YOUTUBE LINK BELOW...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUQ-nOO7SrA&feature=related
check this out and also all the 2min workouts this guy does! he has afew abs, arms, legs etc so try fit these into your regular wqorkouts!!!

goodluck!

Just finished a 15 min kettlebell routine, and off to work, do another 15 min of strength training after work and tomorrow some cardio. I work in an emergency room, so I run my butt off all day at work, there is little down time, so I do kinda get a little extra cardio there! Have a great day ladies and good luck!

Seajolly

Bree, thank you for making a new challenge! Love doing this with you ladies (and gents?)!

Current weight: 140

Ultimate goal weight: 110-120, probably around 115.

Hopeful October 1st weight: 132... I know that's 8 lbs and quite a lot, but I'm going to try my hardest this month to get there! (October 1st is my birthday so this would be the best present to myself!)

Measurements: Will take my measurements soon.

Exercise: This month I really plan on increasing my running. As of right now, I've slowed down to running maybe 1-2 times a week at most because I joined a gym and have been doing a lot of classes. I used to be running basically every other day. So I'd like to pick that back up again! Also I would like to do a lot more yoga, maybe 2-3 times a week if possible.

Looking forward to this month with you all!!! :drinker:

Thanks, I really need to do something because my weight loss is soooo slow right now! Any suggestions?

breezad

ummmm, i tried just walking for my exercise and still eating about 1500cals.
it worked really well. it was a good break from high cardio and got back to basics, walking.

also maybe try some meal replacements shakes for snacks? or protien shakes with water not milk?
and really watch your sugar, try just one peice of fruit a day and keep it in th emorning, and try low sugar fruits like starwberries 6g apples 20g!

Seajolly

Thanks Bree! Maybe I'll try going back to just walking a few days a week... When I was doing that, the weight was just falling off!

Okay I'm going to try to stay under or no more than 10g over on my sugar this week and see if I have any luck!

DAMN YOU PCOS!

Workouts are 30DS every day (ONE REST DAY OR IF CAN'T HANDLE WITH KICKBOXING TOO) and Kickboxing Tue and Thu (90 mins).
Perhaps dancing again ... yes. I will drag the bf to that. So Weds, 2-3 hours.

shauna121211

Hey! Going to have get my measurements later... busy busy.

Starting weight: :noway: 176.9 lbs (that was on Sept 1, I've already dropped to 174.8 since then!)

September Goal weight: 169 lbs <--- Jillian's going to help me get there!

Ultimate Goal weight: 140 lbs

Exercise goals: September is my month of HUGE goals... I want to finish the 30 Day Shred with no skipped days (6 days down!), I want to run a total of 25 miles minimum but think I can do up to 35 if my knee is forgiving and I also want to complete this: http://www.onefiftydips.com/ and perhaps this... http://hundredpushups.com/ (it's looking to be a bit much, so may have to push pushups to October)

Nutrition goals: Trying to cut down drinking to two days a week. I sound so pathetic, but I'm a wino and all my friends drink wine ALL the time... lol, it's looking like 3 days a week is more realistic! :drinker:

Hey Bree,

I typically do a 20/30 min full body kettlebell session at least once a week. It still amazes we how quickly I work up a sweat & how my muscles feel afterwards even though its a pretty short weight session. Have you tried them at all?

What is a kettle ball workout involve? I've been doing mainly cardio for a while now but am wanting to branch out into more strength/toning exercises at the gym.

Looking at some photos taken in the weekend I think I'm starting to regain shape in my face

srobinson1217

Got about 35 min of a walk/jog in this morning with my dog! She kinda slowed me up, but still made it about 2 1/2 miles. The kettlebell exercise that I did yesterday I got out of this months issue of Fitness magazine, my legs hurt SO bad today b/c it involved a lot of squats, so working it out!!

Kettlebells are weights with a handle so they are pretty verstile. I find my workout end up feeling like cardio session as I work up a huge sweat, the aim is to get through the set as quick as possible with minimal breaks so you really challenge yourself. I find when I increase my weight based workout I crave healthy food like salmon & veg & feel so much better than after cardio sessions plus I can now see definition in my muscles.

I did a quick google search this site looks like it covers all the basis on the first page i.e you can see the bell's plus lots of excercises being demonstrated in the middle of the page - scroll to the side to see more. I havent looked at what they are selling so I'm not recommending it. On youtube there are a load of videos where people show their kettlebell sessions, you can see really fit people struggling to complete a session when they push themselves. Some people can burn 400 calories in a 20min session with minimal breaks.

Went to the gym today 50 minute workout, I've noticed my tummy looks tighter so maybe I haven't lost actual numbers because of this. Plus my pants fit better which is always nice

Hope you are all having a lovely start to the week

Seajolly

Feeling really bloated today, however I did have a 1.5 lb loss on the scale today so that's good! The past few days I've greatly reduced my amount of exercise. Today I did yoga. Tomorrow I plan on having a super sweat session at the gym in the evening. Might also plan a morning run to get the blood flowing before work, or at least a good walk.

Congrats on everyone's highs so far and hugs to those who have had a few lows.
I've been grounded for the last 10days no exercise allowed and quarantined, doctor thinks I may have whooping cough. I'm waiting on test results tomorrow. I am so bored and want to exercise so badly. It's 10.5 weeks until I fly out :sad:
I don't believe in quitting I've come to far, so tomorrow no matter what I'm going to starting static exercises, no jumping around just weights, see how I go.
Have an awesome day everyone :flowerforyou:
