Hi there Challengers and welcome to Week 6!
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.
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!!

Weight loss this week: 0.8kg
Today's Measurements:

Current Body Fat %: 35.2% (down 0.2%)
What goals did you kick this week?
This week has gone so quick.. and I've been so tired the last few days..
I managed to still loose weight without exercise (and I've stopped stressing about not wanting to do exercise)
Even tho when I am really tired is when I usually binge food to get energy.. i controlled my eating and was still pretty close to 1200 yesterday.0 -
Name: Ray
Challenge Starting Weight: 79.0kg (as at 27/1/14)
Goal Weight: 70kg ( <75kg within this 12 weeks is the minimum)
Today's weight: 75.4kg (steady for the last two days).
That's 3.6kg lost in one month. Aside from initial water loss I think it's probably about 2.5kg of fat loss in this time, a good steady pace and something I can maintain for a while longer.
Today's Measurements:
Bicep: 29/35
Chest: 93
Waist: 78/92 (loss of 3 & 2cm)
Thigh: 57
Starting Body Fat % (if known): USMC calculator put me at 24%
Goal Body Fat %: 15%
Current Body Fat %: Not sure, but it's slowly going down
What goals did you achieve this week?
Total Calories: 13,944 (ave 1,992 per day)
Net Calories: 10,127 (ave 1,447 per day)
The net calories seem low, but most of my calorie burn comes on one daily ride and I don't think it burns as many calories as my body has adapted somewhat to cycling. I think the overall average intake of around 2000 is the sweet spot for the amount of exercise I'm doing. No real hunger issues and a decent re-feed on Sunday afternoon seems to be working well.
How do you feel?
I feel good, there is consistent movement on the scale and my waist/stomach measurements are the only ones going down so there's nothing to be upset about there. If I can get through the next 8 weeks without a significant stall in fat loss I expect I'll be pretty close to 70kg by the end, and that should be right around 12% body fat.
What are you going to improve on next week?
The second week in a row I've said this, but I have to get to the gym more! This 4 day per week routine is not working at the moment so I'll need to shake things up - I'll go back to 3 days p/w which should be plenty of volume. Things at home and work are keeping me from doing four days weight training and three days riding each week (which was ambitious).0 -
Hi Groovers, and great work folks!!
Still in Lanka staying at fancy hotel in the city and so had a bit more control this week, and at least able to get to the gym everyday or out for long walks. I tend to go hard on the cardio when I am away and in hotels, basically to keep up my steps, maintain fitness while travelling, and burn off steam from being locked in meetings for most of the day. I feel like this works for me to do this for some weeks when away, and I am feeling quite a bit leaner this week, so it will be fun to see what the scale says when I get back home. Happy that my measurements have dropped a bit, as they don’t always in the tropics on account of the water retention.

Oops, got totally sidetracked this week and forgot to weigh (well I probably did weigh myself, but I forgot to log it here and now I have no idea what it was.)
My weight is jumping all over the place it seems, so it's probably for the best to leave it till next week, and hope it calms down by then!0
