Hello!

Thought I'd start a new thread so we all know where we are....

Weigh in's still on a Wednesday I guess unless any of you want to change it to a Monday? Would be easier for me, but i'm easy with with Wednesday if you all want to stay with it...

Will try and sort out a new chart thingy if I can work out how to do it!

Hope everyone's happy that the 2 threads have been amalgamated into one...

    I'm as happy as a clam :) i think it's good we have ONE thread...makes it a lot easier. For me wednesdays works great. I usually weigh in sundays so it's kinda mid-week for me. Makes me keep off the scale during the rest of the days....

    I'm here. Weigh in Wednesday or Monday suit me. But not today feeling bloated :)

    We'll stick with a wednesday weigh in then.... Can I also suggest we change the end date to March 23rd? As this is a wednesday. Currently we end on Sunday the 20th so this would not give us a full final week!

    Much love Losers!

    Monday or Wednesday is all good for me, thank you Claire for setting up a new thread ...

    On the 3500kcal challenge, I need to up the exercise a bit ...

    Wed: 667
    Thur: Day of rest
    Fri: 138
    Sat: 839

    Total: 1644 for 4 days

    So tomorrow is a swim day, I'm going to swim and run! I really need to start doing some strength training ... might do something else too!

    Hope we're all doing good. I had a sneaky weigh in today, and all looks good ... though I've been out for dinner tonight and have eaten ALL my 839 extra Calories!!

    Have a great weekend evryone

    Doing good Rach!

    I'm going to have to try and get some more exercise done later - it's so hard to get it in on the weekend when my son's home! He wants to "help" when i'm doing the EA sports active... It's like having a really annoying trainer shouting "faster, mummy, faster" and "you're not doing that right you should be squatting like the picture on the telly"....

    He's off to a birthday party this afternoon (dressed as batman) with his dad so I think I'll walk to my parents house with my daughter in the pushchair to bump up those cals burnt....

    Not done too bad on it though

    Wednesday - 550
    Thursday - 752 - I found the joy of kara-t-robics on fitness tv - LOVE IT!! AND it burns just under 500 cals in an hour!
    Friday - 624
    Saturday - 246 so far!

    1328 cals to burn by Wednesday... EASY!!!

    TTFN!

    I was able to see it. And I think I need to revise my original goal, when Texas first talked to me about it, she originally said 20 lbs, then I didn't see it was changed to 15 lbs until after I'd already started. So can I switch my goal to 249 lbs by 3/23? Please please please? :happy:

    Thanks for doing this chiliflea! I wasn't aware there were 2 threads. I agree with whoever said March 23rd so it will be a full week.

    chiliflea, you asked for my weigh ins so here they are: Jan 14: 375 (starting weight) Jan 18: 362.3 Feb 11: 356.4

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article7043136.ece

    This article says "A large bag of sweet popcorn bought at a Cineworld in Haymarket, Central London, weighed 375g and according to the calculations of The Times nutritionist, is likely to have contained 1,800 calories. These bags are intended for sharing but it is not unusual to see cinemagoers treating themselves to one each."

    Yikes!!!

    Ok I've nearly done it. One day to go and only 89 calories to burn to reach 3,500. Can't believe I actually did it. A couple of big days in the beginning helped. Hope you are all also doing well.

    Wow Jenni! That's fantastic! That's a whole pound exercised off! I've got to do a work out this morning and then another tomorrow... tomorrow will be a biggy again as I'm going to the gym AND doing my EA so I can be a bit gentle on myself today... Haven't had a rest day all week!

    Weighed myself this morning for the 60lb by halloween challenge I took on last week - and I've lost 4.4lbs since last monday!

    Claire, you are doing so well. I went for a 30min walk tonight (129 calories). So YAY, I've done it and still have tomorrow, Tuesday, which is my Birthday. I will still try and do some exercise, as not sure what I will be eating. Lunch with my mum. Dinner at home with hubby and daughter. I requested to eat at home so maybe a little more control. I am a little nervous about weigh in on Wednesday after my birthday :/ But I'm always nervous about weigh in.:tongue:

    I'm sure with all the work you've put in this week the scale will show it...

    Wow well done Jenn! That's great burning you've done there. I hope the scales behave for you tomorrow, regardless, you have had a great week! Hope you have a wonderful birthday.

    Well done to you too Tami, that's some fantastic burning!

    It's tuesday morning here ... I have just under 1000kcal to burn, which would be a struggle anyway ... today my Mum is playing golf, so I have to exercise with my little girl ... so we're going to cycle everywhere, and see how we do! I have my Te Reo (Maori language) course this evening, so I have to exercise during the day.

    How's your 3500kcal burn going Claire?

    I think the calorie burn is a great aim to have every week, even if I don't make the total I've really enjoyed the challenge.
  • chiliflea

    I have about 124 cals to burn tomorrow to reach the 3500.... Should be easy as I've got a gym session (a date with the dreaded elliptical!) and my penultimate EA active session (can't believe I've nearly completed the 30 day challenge!!)

    Weighed this morning for another challenge and have lost so will be interesting to see how much more i lose by Wednesday weigh in!

    If you want to keep going with the 3500 cal burn then go for it! I'm tempted cos I like the loss at the end of the week but I think my body needs a little rest! Needs recovery time.... But the thought of having a day off scares me that I won't get back into the groove the following day - if you know what I mean...

    We should all be VERY proud of ourselves this week - whether we make the 3500 or not - the point is we've all given it our all...

    Well done Hanna! I missed it by 240 Kcal, but was pretty impressed with myself burning 730kcal yesterday. I did consider going for a run at 10pm last night when I got in from my Maori class, just to do it ...!! But that seemed a little excessive!! A whole new week starts today, and I'm going to aim for it again.

    It's wednesday here and I've just weighed in at 92.5kg or 204lb which is a 2lb/ 1 kg loss. Which is all good, but crazily I feel a bit disappointed as it's up slightly from my sneaky peek mid week!! I think the moral of that may be no sneaky peeks, as I know I would have been very happy without that!

    Right what's our new challenge going to be for this week? I was thinking of making sure we eat our protein allocation. I'm vegetarian, and rarely eat my protein allocation, my hubby thinks that's part of my problem. I eat too much carbs and not enough protein ... so my aim is going to be to eat my protein allocation, and stay under my carbs ...

    Thanks Rach for your weigh in - I've added it to the chart...

    I've completed the 3500 challenge - and done 3799!!

    That means Hanna and I have a combined 7301 calories burned! Woweeee!

    Wonder how the other pairs have got on!

    Looking forward to weigh in tomorrow... Hoping to have lost a little more since Monday - fingers crossed eh!

    I know i have gained - don't know how much though. That we'll see tomorrow. Now it is tuesday evening and i'll try to sleep off like 2 lbs, but i don't think that is possible even in my dreams :( Doomsday tomorrow. See you then!

    Wow, I really did not pay attention to the 3500 calorie challenge in the old thread :(

    I'll try to make this my goal every week at least ^_^;

    jellyfishjen Posts: 1,787 Member
    Ok my GRAND TOTAL was 3816 calories burnt. My weight loss was a weight gain of 700gms. My measurements no different. But I'm ok with this. I know I worked hard and I ate properly. So 1. Scales were wrong (lol blame the machine not the operator). 2. Hormones - I'm 51 and for some reason feel hot when others don't :wink: 3. I have built some dam fine muscle or 4. if it keeps going up my doctor and I have a long talk. But I feel great, stronger and fitter. And will keep going with this great life style, plus I just love you all out there and would miss you. So am about to start another week with 3 days away, yahoo. So my challenge this week is to first get through 3 days of eating out. We are off to Canberra, our capitol city, about 3 hours drive away, mostly to see the Ballet Russes exhibit at the National Gallery. The rest of the time is to rest and relax. Maybe the odd walk. I hope to be able to still log in while away to keep inspired by everyone else's activities. I don't have one of those fancy phones so relying on the old laptop.
    Have a great day, everyone.:flowerforyou:

    I missed the old challenge also. So are we still doing new challenges each week, or are we just shooting to burn 3500 calories each week? And I have absolutely no idea who I was paired up with, so I'm very sorry to my partner, to whom I have been pretty bad apparently :embarassed: For those of you that have the EA active or the wii fit or anything...does it work, do you get a pretty good calorie burn? I've been thinking about getting one but didn't really know if it would be any good?
  • chiliflea
    chiliflea Posts: 695 Member
    Jenni - Have a great break away... I'm sure you'll manage to do just fine...

    alw2007 - Sorry You missed the challenge chick! Not sure who you were paired with either but not to worry... I have the first EA active (with the view to getting the second one) AND the wii fit and I find both are pretty effective with my HRM... EA I find more structured - I've been following it's 30 day challenge and am 2 days from finishing... I've enjoyed it actually! And the Wii fit you can do and it just feels like you're having fun... I can burn a couple hundred cals doing 30 mins or so, so you can get a good burn out of it...
    If you get the EA active Sports 2 you can go online and set challenges with friends which is one of the reason I'm going to get it... Maybe if you got it we could pair up our wiis and challenge each other?!

    Winterbreeze - again, sorry you missed the 3500 challenge... I think I may make it my personal challenge every week, only this time I think I'll give my body a rest day every now and again - or do something lower impact on some days!

    Everyone ready to weigh in today??
