Loserville Challenge 3 (CLOSED GROUP)

Just thinking about next week, next week is our "greatest distance challenge" ... I was thinking we should be all triathlete about it and have 3 categories, swim, bike, run/walk. What do you think? I think it's unfair to mix bike with run/walk.

I'm looking forward to it as I haven't been out on my bike or for a swim for weeks now, be good to get that going again.

Hello All. TOM is here and my weight is steady which is awesome feelin gmuch better. Planning to get my walk intoday finally i haven't walked since Monday. Almost done withteh daily challenges. I did 3 yesterday but shorted myself on the spreadsheet. i will change it tonight.

Rach - i am never under my sugars either. I look at my number and subtract the natural sugars from fruit and veggies and hope that my number is close to my goal. When I have soad I'm not even close though. I don't worry too much about fat b/c my colesterol is great and so is my blood pressure. and like you said it's not necessarly what will effect my heart anyways. Good luck with teh suger cravings

Becci - that is an awesoem loss. Keep up the good work!

Claire - you are doing amazing this week. Enjoy you dinner out and your bike rides.

I think we should be able to do our distance challenge in any way we want. I personally hate stationary bikes and my bike needs new tires. I would enjoy a swim though. So I'm cool breaking it down into catagories...espically if we do swimming by meters. Swimming a mile is tough.

Have a great day everyone!

I don't mind breaking it down into categories. I'm happy to go with the majority.

Been at the hospital this morning for my monthly sessions of needles in the back. Normally it makes me feel worse straight after and then I feel the benefits a few days later. Today though it seems to have kicked in already. Maybe it's down to the weather being pretty okay here, but whatever the reason I'm not complaining.

Hope you're all well. Looks like everyone's kicking *kitten* this week.

Oh my gosh so many posts to catch up on. I wil first let you all know I am home very tired but pleased to be home but may only be for a couple of days. i do not sleep very well in the city, which then makes me too tired to go out walking or to class. I am comfortable and I don't think i hear the city noises but maybe I do and that is what disturbs me all night long. Samara has had very early morning calls on set by 5.45am, 5am and then 6am, finished at 7pm, 7.30pm and 9pm. she would come home exhausted and hungry. So i am glad I was there to look after her. She is not sure what days she is required next week yet, except for Monday at 5am. i am disappointed that each day i was too tired to do anything. I did mange to keep up the challenge exercises and thursday I did walk to work as well as to China Town and back. So maybe I'm being hard on myself as Friday was the only day i did nothing. I would like to be digging in my garden now I'm home but first a nanna nap. :yawn:

Morning All. Sunday here already. :laugh: Having been in the city since wed evening have a lot here at home to catch up on. I hope to go out today and buy some more garden supplies. Listening to the garden show on the radio, I need to improve my soil. So looks like another round of heavy digging = heavy calorie burn. YAY

Rach and Claire it is so hard when we have social events to go to. We could avoid all social events and get slimmer quicker, but that would be so lonely. Just do your best , enjoy and live life.

Have changed my weigh in day to Sunday now. I have lost 400grams (1.3lbs) this week. Happy enough with that.
Still have 5kgs to lose before I can say I am overweight. Thinking I should have a I'm overweight celebration.

Well, I weighed in this morning in the hope of staving off any gains caused by yesterday and today's parties ... and I've lost 1kg or 2.2lb, over the moon with that, though I'm sure that didn't help me control my eating at the party today ... eeek. I feel sooooo stuffed it's unpleasant! It's funny though as I had no idea what I weighed, I was disappointed at first thought I hadn't lost, then checked on here and realised I had. All a bit bonkers.

Next time it's points week, my aim will be to get full points on calories, water and exercise, even over the weekend!

Anyway, I'll give you all a run for your money next week as I'm signing up for a race, not sure if I'll do the 16km or the 20km!

I am so sorry but I didn't get back from my weekend away till late last night so didn't get to update the spreadsheet, eek! I can't access google docs at work which is the problem for me, I do most my logging etc from work.

Sorry to be a pain!

My loss this week is 2.5 lbs though, I use my Friday weigh in!

Wooohoooo! What a great week team! Well done!

Hi all. In city using Internet Cafe for first time how brave of me. Though will wash hands well after using this keyboard. Had a bad start last night with big calorie dinner. Today has been fabulous. Beautiful day so had 2 big walks. One kept good pace, second was a walking tour of gardens. Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Big calorie burn wore HRM for calories and pedometer for kms. Can't access or don't know how to access speadsheet on here. So will fill that in when I get home. I am out to buy some healthy foods for dinner tonight. Samara always comes home starving. I have my pedometer on but didn't put on the HRM. It is a beautiful evening so who knows might take a walk around the harbour, before I shop.

Most of you seem to have had massive weight losses this last week. I am jealous. Thats what I want this week. I tell myself to be happy with 300grams or more but secretly I would love a kilo or more. Guess I just have to put in the work for that.

Claire, google up Leslie Sansone walks at home. There is a 15 min sample one and it does give you a good workout. And I think she tells you at the end what that was equivelent to in distance. You may find 15 min while the kids are napping. MAybe. Hope they get well soon. I hope to hunt the city tomorrow and track down her dvd to buy. TRied 3 stores so far otherwise guess will have to order on the net.

This was Tuesday here in Sydney a very fine day. Enjoy your tuesday. :happy:

Hey,

My sister gave birth yesterday - just under five weeks early! She had a little girl, Izabela (Izy for short!) and she was ok to begin with, but now she is in special care as she is only tiny (4 lbs 12 oz!) and needs some help feeding and regulating her temperature, fingers crossed she'll be ok! As my sister developed pre-eclampsia (her blood pressure was 200/140 - hence the early labour!!) she is being kept in also till the end of the week probably, So I may not get as much time in for excercise as will be visiting her. I also start my play rehearsals tonight, so will be a busy bee, I have play rehearsals 3 times a week.

Hope everyone else is doing well.
