Loserville Challenge 3 (CLOSED GROUP)

Tami - Wow! That's pretty much all I have to say. I think it's fantastic that you can be so strong and evaluate your situation and what you want so well. Maybe you should give lessons to people. I know that sometimes I could do with a few. xx

Rach - Sorry to hear you're feeling ill. Hope you, the kids and the hubby feel better soon. x

Courtney - Keep going. The hard work will pay off. I spent a while being completely consumed by the numbers on the scales. I've started to let it go a bit now and I've realised that every loss is good. The pound you've lost is still a pound and I'm pretty sure there will be plenty more to follow. x

Hope you're all having a great day.

Hi all

I'm doing good eating reasonably sensibly given that I feel unwell. Walked to school with kids this afternoon, just a bit of exercise to keep me ticking over. Looking forward to boxing in the morning at Bootcamp ... speaking of which I best go to sleep! Night all. x

I was thinking in the shower this morning that we need a bit of va va vooom!

How about a points biggest loser stylee challenge ... just for a week ... starting on Monday??

5 points if you stay under or within 50 calories of your goal each day
5 points if you have 8 glasses or more of water each day
3 points for completing a daily exercise challenge, we'll have 6, but we can choose which day we do them on, the idea being one done per day with a one day a week rest, though you can do two or more on one day if that works for you!
2x %of body weight lost per week = points
calories burned/500 = points

daily exercise challenges
1. 50 squats
2. 50 jumping jacks
3. 50 lunges (25 per leg)
4. 50 push ups
5. 50 ab crunches
6. 50 trice dips

I've set up a spreadsheet which we should all be able to access and edit via this link, so we can each be responsible for filling out our points? Just each day or when you get time fill in your points so far ... and the winner gets??? Any ideas?? Could make a little loserville trophy to go in our signature?

Currently all the names are Rachel, but if you're in just change a name to your name!


What do you think??

I'm home at last. My real home. Arrived back in sydney thursday in time for work that night. Which I did with the worst blocked ears, blamed the flight on that and I was feeling ill few days before that, just thought it was a good old fashion cold, probably still is. But for the blocked ears. Biggest diasappointment today. As most of you know I have been working and looking forward too the City to Surf fun run 14km. 12 months ago I planned on participating in this event. It is the biggest fun run in Australia 85,000 entrants today. Thats a lot for our little country. As I wasn't too well when i arrived in Sydney Samara talked me into staying with her and resting up so that i could be well and strong for today, she knows how determined i was to do it. But alas this morning I had to be sensible and admit i was still to unwell to do it. So I then spent the next few hours like a big baby in tears. I'm still disappointed but I know I made the right decision. So I decided to drive home tonight while there was less traffic. Still can't hear too well, thought the car was falling apart then realised it was the sound of the rain on the windscreen. Doctors for me tomorrow. have tried all the home remedies and everything the chemist gave me.
Otherwise It was a lovely holiday, nice seeing the family. Great holidaying on my own. My brother in law (sort of father/big brother figure to me) he and I went on lots of nice walks. My sister I hope has been encouraged to try a little harder.
So much has happened in our little village while away. Rach I like your challenge idea, I will do what I can. I did so well on holidays but am sure the last couple of days of laying around and not much calorie counting has undone my good work. Get these ears unblocked and I'm hoping to get right back on the wagon.

I love it Rach! Just what I needed. I have felt for some time now that it is time for me to get back on track! I am totally in!

As for the weigh in I'm at 88.0kgs (193.6lbs) Feels good I'm moving down

Hope everyone is OK and Jenni, welcome back!!

Hey Jen, I may not be Rach, but I think I can help you with your questions...

I think a trice dip is a tricep dip. I may be wrong, but that's how I took it. Secondly with the calories burned numbers, you have to divide the amount of calories you've burned in the day by 500. That's how you get the odd looking numbers lol.

Hope you feel better soon. xxx

Thanks Whizzy, so I burnt 194 calories today so divide by 500 = 0.38. And I think I know how to do a tricep dip.

Hanna, did you have your shoes on? If not I think its a lesson to us all. Always put our supportive shoes on. Hope it gets better soon for you.

Just did chart. It still amazes me how clever you all are? It even added it up for me. Magical like Harry Potter. :happy:

Awwww Hanna ... you were being too keen eh!? Good on ya, it'll be better in no time.

Claire - Hope you're assessment goes well on Wednesday, I think once that's over with you'll feel more like focussing on being loserville's biggest loser!

Jen - hope you get better soon, being ill is just rubbish! Especially with bad ears, ear ache is soooooooo painful.

I'm doing good so far, still recovering from my cold, but managing to do plenty of exercise (because I'm addicted to it!). I really struggle with the water consumption, so I'm enjoying getting points for making sure I drink enough!

It's REALLY cold here atm. Yesterday was the coldest day on record here in Auckland, and it was snowing, didn't settle, but I've NEVER seen snow here before, so that was pretty exciting!

Right my hands are freezing and I have a hottie waiting for me in bed, not my hubby ... well he is, but I'm more excited about my hot water bottle!!
