Hi there Challengers!!
if you are starting the challenge late and only just filled your statistics in the INTRODUCTION thread, you might want to give this thread a miss, and start your updates next week. It's entirely up to you.
I generally do my weight and measurements on a Saturday morning (day after a rest day and before the gym). OR if you want to do a monthly weigh in, then you might only want to fill in your update in weeks 4, 8 and 12. Again, entirely up to you.
For those updating - just copy the text below, post a reply and fill in the blanks.
I honestly believe that weight loss is NOT just about the number on the scale, it's about having the right mental attitude as well, so please remember to read your goals and affirmations EVERY DAY to remind yourself why you are doing this! I've included some extra questions below, you don't have to answer them if you don't want to - but keeping a positive focus and congratulating yourself for the small things that you do every week is a good way to keep the ball rolling and progressing to your end point.
Achieve your nutrition and fitness goals every day and you WILL reach your 12 week goal. Start with the end in mind!!

END OF WK 2: 27.1.14
So here's a great example of why we take measurements ... this week I ate -5000 cal which should have set me up for over a .5k loss - but I weigh +100g on last week. HOWEVER, I have had over 1cm loss all round and my body fat is -1%. So in fact I AM HAPPY!!
On sly looks I have been seeing my weight fluctuate within a 1.5kg range all week - it has been so hot however and I am drinking SO much water so suspect it can be fluid or else fluid retention on account of increase exercise since I am back at the gym - lets see what next week brings

What goals did you kick this week?
I thought about my food.. added some variety..
I ate Home Grown Zucchini nearly every day
I battled TOM without gaining water weight
How do you feel?
I'm feeling worried that the scales are going down but the cm's aren't..
i know there was a lot of internal fat (around my liver/heart etc) that needed to come off as well.. so maybe it finally is
Maybe it was TOM.. but I struggled this week to do anything... I don't enjoy exercising.. and i seem to be getting good at making excuses for myself.
and I had no motivation to do any work last week.. so none got done
things you are grateful for?
I am grateful that I am feeling physically a lot better than I did 3 months ago (Miles better than I did 6 months ago)
A boss that lets me work when I feel like it. and doesn't pressure me to get things done
What are you going to improve on next week?
I need to catch up on my outstanding work.. (which means more time at the computer)
and then try and convince myself to relieve the stress of work on the treadmill
maybe I can try and convince a male gender person to come make me go walking in the afternoons (if its not to hot), in exchange for dinner 0 -

What goals did you achieve this week? I was really good and I did a Pump class, which I've never done before.
How do you feel? I'm a bit sad about having put weight on, but I'm truly hoping that it's thanks to TTOTM, as it's just kicked it. I really hope it is.
List 3 things you are grateful for? My friends, my family and my furbabies.
What are you going to improve on next week? I am going to really try to fight against the desire to eat that TTOTM brings on. I really wanted to eat today and I had a little chocolate, but I went to the gym and did a great workout and felt really good.

Weight loss this week: gain of 0.7kg - right back to where I started.
Starting Body Fat : 40.6%
This week's body fat: 39.9% - Stable
No fat gain at all, so I'm going with muscle gain as I've been doing a LOT of stairs and did a lot of hard manual labour on the weekend. My muscles are fatigued so they've had a solid workout.
What goals did you kick this week? Happy with my exercise, my water intake and my veggie intake.
How do you feel? Sad as still sorting out Dad's estate. Has lead to some comfort eating but I've kept it reasonably under control.
List 3 things you are grateful for? The people I work with who tell me how good I look and agree to do physical challenges with me. The fact that I no longer need to travel so much for work and therefore have more time at home and find it easier to exercise. The Fringe Festival as its adding so much fun to my life at the moment.
What will I improve on next week? Ramp up stair climb training to the next level. Do a circuit on the weekend.0 -

Today's Weight:79.3
Weight loss this week:+200g
Today's Measurements:
will do next week
What goals did you achieve this week?
None really. Had a migraine from Monday onwards which put a halt to exercise and proper eating. On top of this it was my TOM which I wasnt prepared for so had a wee bit of a binge this week.
I am however happy with 200g gain as I am in the middle of my hormonal cycle so dont think it means that much
How do you feel?
bloated, tired, grumpy hormonal but also relieved when I saw the scale haha
List 3 things you are grateful for?
My husbands support
My sister coming to the gym with me even though i only went one day
the great range of food I have access to

Exercise will be my focus next week and then bringing back the wheat and dairy free food the week after0 -

Name: Sam
Challenge Starting Weight: 96kg
Goal Weight: 90kg
Today's Weight: 93.8kg
Weight loss this week: 0.6kg
Today's Measurements:
Bicep: 33.5cm (1.5cm loss since starting)
Chest: 103cm (1cm loss since starting)
Waist: 83cm (1cm loss since starting)
Hips: 110cm (1cm loss since starting)
Thigh: 71.5cm (1.5cm loss since starting)
Starting Body Fat % (if known): 33.4%
Goal Body Fat %: 30%
Current Body Fat %: 32.7%
What goals did you achieve this week? Lost some more weight (yay!) and logged my food as accurately as possible.
How do you feel? Very sore still (back pain is not easing) but otherwise excellent I feel very positive about everything.
List 3 things you are grateful for? My cooking ability- life is easier when I know that I can make anything I want and I'm not limited by a lack of skills. My workplace- the current healthy living challenge at work means there's no peer pressure to get chinese food all the time lately! My boyfriend- during his time off he's been doing more things around the house than usual which makes my life easier. He's a good egg.
What are you going to improve on next week? Next week will be hard because I'm on annual leave so I'll be at home surrounded by CHOICES. Eating at work is easy and it keeps me on track. So I will work on choosing healthier foods (except for Wednesday night when we go to Jamie's Italian- I am giving myself a free pass for that). I say I will work on meeting my calorie goals every week and to be honest I've been going a little over most days but that's okay. I have struck a little balance between sticking with the plan and being kind to myself. I will try to be more consistent.
Another thing I'd like to do next week is some more gentle yoga. It helps my back and loosens all these random muscles that have been overcompensating. I will aim for 3x yogas.
P.S. I am loving everyone's check ins. So much progress and encouragement :flowerforyou: it's a nice group to be part of.0 -
Apologies fellow Trim Taut and Terrific Aussies (and of course Kiwis) for not logging in the last 2 weeks but I was busy...
I did a triathlon on Australia Day a MEDIUM Distance for the first time (I have done 3 short ones last year) and I managed to jog 2KMs - personal best in terms of distance..time it took - not that good but at least I didnt give up! It was very frustrating but I did it
And I started to drop some weight! I checked my weight in on 4FEB at 105.7kg which is almost 2kg loss since my starting weight of 107!
I measured 105.2 the other morning but I dont log that as those small variances dont really matter..
If I can go below 105 I am already well onto my meeting my goal - which to keep my weight at 103 or so!
Thank you Trim, Tau and Terrific Pals for the support
