Hi there Challengers and welcome to Week 5!
For the late starters, please fill 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!!

What goals did you kick this week?
This week was a pretty crap week as far as diet and exercise goals go.
Although I still lost weight.. but I did No Exercise.. and with all my going out I ended up fatigue'ing my MS so hard that I was not able to get out of bed Fri and Sat. I guess the goal kicked.. is .. even tho I had a "bad" week.. I still managed to loose weight
I also managed to get a number of Invites for dinner on Friday Night
all of which I promptly turned down.. in objection to the commercialism of romantic gesture.. I believe this is still a win.. as I got the invites! 0 -
Happy Monday all.
I think overall I've had a good week. Sodium intake was a little high on Thurs & Fri which kind of bloated me a little but nonetheless here's where we stand a fortnight since my last official weigh in.

Not a great week for me unfortunately... here come the excuses
Only managed two rides (total 120km) due to stupid weather (from 46 degrees to the largest daily rainfall in 45 years in one day? WTF?)
Worked some very long hours ( including one 16 hr day) and had a significant amount of stress from work this week which impacted my gym time. I only managed one session at the gym and one quick home workout.
I have had some pretty average days nutrition wise, indulged on valentines day and went out for thai food on Saturday so have some sodium bloat. Pigged out a bit after my ride yesterday too - no excuse for that, just a lack of discipline! So, no weigh in this week. The scale would just lie to me anyway.
On the positive side, I did get enough exercise to cancel out some of the bad eating:embarassed:, resulting in a net intake of ~1800 cals per day for the week (gross of 2300 cals p/day) so not too bad in the end. I'll wait til next week for weigh in though.0 -

Break down that wall to reach my lowest weight ever
Kept up my average of over 20,000 steps a day
Survived a busy weekend and actually lost weight over the weekend (almost a first)
How do you feel?
Most of the week very good but was low on energy, even cut my training short on Sunday.
Guess celebrating with a bit of wine which I do on weekends does not help, but he I need to stay sane.
List 3 things you are grateful for?
My health, my wife and my love of life
What are you going to improve on next week?
More like maintain my weight loss, my 20,000 steps a day.
Run more the 10km non stop

What goals did you achieve this week? ( month)
oddly enough I decided to increase my cals this month and sit between 1300-1400 cals plus eat back some of the exercise cals. Being on Lite n Easy my intake was originally 1200 cals. A long stint in the plateau made me revise my cals. So although the increase scared me as I thought I would put on weight, it proved my body was most likely in starvation mode.
Attended my first body pump class and absolutely loved it and the pain that went along with it
Booked in a weekly PT session for the next 5 weeks
How do you feel?
Fantastic

Well I didn't gain inspite of being naughty last week, instead I maintained - and am happy with that though looking forward to a loss next week.
This week's NSV - I had to buy new jeans as mine were way to baggy in the bum (a win in itself). I went to a jeans shop as asked for size 15 and the girl (being all of 18 and built like a waif) said, are you sure? You don't look that big. I could have hugged her. :happy:0 -
