Haha, thats a good way of solving it Claire! I actually thought the same thing. For me this weeks challenge is to walk a marathon (combined that is) and to drink 2 litres of water each day.

Well, i just realised that if we'll have a percentage or lbs goal for everyone in this group - i'll just go with the flow. But i expect nothing less than a loss of 20 lbs in 12 weeks for me
Maybe im overestimating myself lol... Maybe 10%? But that might be too much? Since the average was around 6 - 7% in the last challenge we might wanna go slightly higher than that as this one is a little bit longer? Any ideas? 0 -

My challenge this week is going to be to increase my distances, so I'm aiming to swim 1.5km each time, run 8km each time and bike 25km each time (or more if I'm up to it!)
I've weighed in this morning and I'm in shock! Start weight for this challenge is 86.2kg or 190lb, how on earth I lost 1.3kg since wednesday is an absolute mystery to me, but I won't complain! Goal weight for this challenge 75.3kg or 166lb, which will take me to less than my pre-pregnancy weight! I am now just below what I was when I got pregnant with my second child ... just another 4kg and I'm back to pre-pregnancy weight!!! Thank you loser for all your help and support so far, lets do it all over again! YAY!
Wow! Lots of New peeps! Welcome everyone! Shall we do our intros??

I'm now working towards being able to run 10km and have entered a series called "Run Auckland" which is 6 races of 5km, with the last 3 having a 10km option and the final race having a 20km option. My aim is to be able to run the 20km option in July. I can currently run 6km.

I jog on the spot instead of jump rope as it hurts my knees, and I can now finally do 10 bicycle crunches. Anyone else have this dvd feel free to join in with us. Oh I most likely wont be able to do tomorrow as I am waiting for confirmation to do my first aid certificate tomorrow, and then I'm going to the opening night of the Sydney Dance Company latest show.0

Happy Monday everyone
New challenge day! YAY!!
My challenge for the week is to do at least an hour of exercise every day, so that would make 7 hours total for the week... it will be hard as i am off to Sydney on Friday for the weekend with some friends, but i am hoping some dancing and walking around the city will probably be included!! Although Sunday will be spent mostly in the car... maybe i can do a few extra workouts during the week to make up for it??
I cannot seem to find how long this challenge is going for? To plan a goal weight... is it 12 weeks??
My start weight today is 94.7kgs...0 -

Ok i have had a shocker! Haha, must be still waking up.... i see the challenge last for 12 weeks!!
So my goal is to weigh 88kgs in 12 weeks time
I think that is pretty realistic as there is Easter, and my holiday to New Zealand in the middle of all that plus no doubt other social events. So hopefully that should be achievable!!0 -

Interesting fact - I HATE needles, but LOVE tattoos
Hi Sarah and welcome to the group! Everyone is so lovely and supportive here
I am EXACTLY the same!! I freak out whenever i have to get a needle at the Dr, but i like the pain from getting a tattoo! Mind you, i only have 2, but i definitely want more. I have one on my ribs and one on my foot, and i have been told they are the most painful places to get one, so i figure if i survived those 2 then i should be right with any more that i get haha!
How many do you have?0 -

Hi All
My weekly challenge is to make snack box's and home made kunches everyday, so I don't get caught out with hungry grabs during the week.
Also do 5 hours of exercise and 1.5 litres of water a day min.
V0 -
I have not weighed in yet for Monday morning as it is 2am here and I have yet to go to bed so I will weigh in when I get up and post it then. I have a feeling it is a higher number than my weight on Wednesday at the close of our last challenge as I have been fluctuating with two stupid pounds that I just cannot seem to shake off. I am really hoping this plateau does not last long.
My personal goals this week are:
~ exercise 5 days this week
~ do 5 different exercises
~ drink at least 96 oz of water
~ eat all the food on my hcg protocol - no skipping any meals this week
~ drink at least one cup of tea daily
My goal for the 12 week challenge is to be down to 298 pounds (my weight before my pregnancy with my daughter 16 years ago). This would put me down the the lowest weight I have been since 1994. That would be about a 42 pound loss for this challenge. If I can over this dang hump I am stuck on this should be do-able (3.5 pounds per week). We shall see!!

Haven't managed to weigh in today as overslept and was in a rush to get DS to school... Then I ate breakfast and went to the gym so will weigh in tomorrow morning for the challenge - Sorry :blushing: :blushing:
My goal for this week is to try and exercise every day to make up for probably not being able to exercise on the weekend as I'm away.. Will try and do at least 45 mins a day... Oh and water - drink plenty of water too...
TOM is rearing it's ugly head so I have no idea how I'll do this week... Feel awful if I don't lose but there we go!
I'll post my challenge goal weight tomorrow once I know my start weight for the challenge but I'm aiming for a 2lb a week loss so will be around the 251lbs mark by June...
Sorry to be such a crap secretary in the first week!!
OOO a couple of notes...
VezNo1 - I need a goal weight please!
Calliope-music - Need a goal weight please!
And for anyone who gave me their weights in kg I have converted them into lbs for the purpose of the challenge - it's just easier for me to keep track of in the spreadsheet i'll be preparing...0 -
