    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?

    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??

    Name: Rachel or Rach

    Location: Auckland, New Zealand
    I am originally from Yorkshire in the UK, but have been living in NZ for 9 years now.

    CW : 86.2kg or 190lb

    GW for this challenge: 75.3kg or 166lb

    GW : 70kg or 155lb

    Workouts: I have been training for short distance triathlons, so I run, bike or swim 6 days a week and then have 1 rest day. 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.

    Food facts : I'm vegetarian, though started eating fish when I was pregnant. I aim to have a chunk or two of chocolate every day. My current aim is to make sure I eat all my protein.

    Interesting fact : I have webbed feet!?! Makes me a better swimmer!

    So you can copy and paste if need be, courtesy of the loser's secretary Claire!

    Ok Claire, its already Monday here, down under, so I have done day 1 level 1 of Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. 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.

    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...

    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 :D
    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!!

    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?
