Hey girls,

Congrats on all the loses!!!!! I did ok this week I lost 1.2 kilos which 500gs of it was what I put back on so not as excited as I would be but any loss is headsing in the right direction.... Have made out a plan for exercise and food for the whole week so will see if it makes a difference..

Love Angelle xoxo

Whoohoo!! I'm in the 73's!!!

Hi girls!
Well I finally did it- I broke the plateau! After about 4 weeks stuck in the 74kg range, I finally got down to 73.5 today! Yeaha!
Not sure how I did it, as I have cut back on exercise as I was getting too exhausted, maybe it helped, who knows!?! Now I'm giving myself stretching days and sit up days instead of 7 days a week cardio.

Hopefully it all goes well again this weekend.

Apologies for not getting on here very often, but my work has blocked almost all my internet access, (even during lunch!) and I dont get much time of an evening. So until next week I wsh you all a great week of weight loss!!!

MY WEIGH IN WEEK 3

Hi again - here to post this weeks results which I believe is very reflective and acurate on my week. I lost 900 grams. which was great considering I drank 2 bottles of wine and a udl at my aunties 40th saturday night (4am finish) and picked a bit more than i would have liked to. My big thing was making sure I didnt splurge on the following day and I did well with that. So a loss is a loss and im happy with my 900grams this week! next week I WILL BE UNDER 83 - the stubborn plateu that has pulled me up for months now! So this weekend WILL be a party free weekend and my loss WILL be over 1kilo even being TTOM!

Biggest loser last night was inspiring - especially DAVID (I think thats his name - the 200kilo fella, lovely guy) his words were very inspiring! I hope you all had an honest weekend and look forward to good results as a reward this week! there were definately some little losses (not for the real world but in the house they are little) Maybe some of you with these impressive losses should have weighed in instead of them this week!!! - happy weigh ins...

WEEK 3 DOWN

Hi lovely ladies,

Sorry I havent posted last weeks total weight loss - waiting on wendy and chrissy is away. those that have weighed in and recorded losses were -

WEEK 2 results

CACHER 2.3
KARRIE 1.7
CHERYL 600g
GEN 600g
SHERRIE 1.5
CAZ 200g

The rest either didnt lose or I havent heard from - well done to all of those losses - big or small! And a big well done to our biggest loser CACHER (Hill top dreamer!) some of our results are more than the real biggest losers!! look out!

3rd Weigh In

Morning lovelies. Well I managed to maintain at 60kg this week. Yay :) I had a hectic week last week, and another coming this week so hopefully I can keep it up and not lose the plot! I nearly gave in to greasy Macca's or something equally unhealthy yesterday, but stuck with Subway and felt a lot better for it! Working crazy hours this week so looks like lots of WW Frozen Meals for me... Hope you all had a lovely weekend and have a great week.

Week 3 weigh-in

Ok, check in today:

Last week: 95.3
This week: 94.6

Loss: 700g

Still doing the training (and suffering accordingly!) - motivation is high.

Good luck on weigh-in everyone!

-Gen

I did ok...

I almost feel bad about posting my results this week- I lost 1.5kg this week, which I'm happy about, but because so many people struggled this week, I feel like I should be joining in!!! I am currently broke (and probably will be for a while) as my partner and I are saving our dough to visit the UK for 3 weeks in May, so I have no money to go out and socialise! Makes things easier on the losing weight front, with few temptations, and plenty of time to exercise! So thats my excuse for losing weight :) So for me, it means I am now 75kg, with 2.5kg down for this challenge and only 7 kg to my goal weight!!!! Ok, so now I'm letting out my excitement!!!! Hope you all have a fabulous week, and wishing you all in the strength in the world to make good choices xx

Gain for week 2

Hi everyone,

I am feeling very ashamed of myself. I had a gain of 500g this week, which is sooo not good after working so hard the previous week. Been drinking too much, eating pizza, chinese take away, indian curry, burgers on the barbie,- you get the drift! I am lucky that I didnt gain more.

Relatives still have another fortnight so I'll just have to be a lot more disciplined, which is hard because they love to indulge on holiday. Anyway, no more excuses, Its my own choices that got me into this mess and its up to me to fix it - which I shall.

Well done to all that lost this week and good luck to those still to weigh in.

Karrie x

I did it again

Well I did it again... I went sooo well at the start of the week ate really well and exercised heaps until I had a "yummy naughty treat" then the vicious cycle started I felt soooo guilty and lethargic that I didn't exercise and thought ok will do more tomorrow but tomorrow came felt really yuck still soo hmmm a crunchy mcflurry with m&m pieces was a great pick me up then an hour later felt crap no exercise next day pizza and the cycle continued (man you think I'd just go come on break this and feel better but nooooooo!!!) well until I got on the scales and had put on 500gs so yes back to 77.3:( I felt sooo guilty and yuck and thought about not even posting but here I am and I am going to make sure this week is different if for nothing else just the way last week made me physically feel!!!!!

Congrats to all who lost weight xoxox

HMMM... where did that wagon get too....

hi guys, sorry for the late post.. yesterday was a soul searching day of why why why and what have i done... but i guess the best way to learn from it is to aknowledge it and move on...

i gained a kilo when i weighed in yesterday morning :( and was so depressed about the whole thing then i got on and checked this morning - which is so unlike me to weigh more than once a week and i had already lost 600grams of that kilo gain... so i think it was just the weekend of alcohol and crappy food. so im keen to get that plus more off when i weigh in next monday. and im not drinking for a few weeks again to kick some more... i cant expect miracles when i look at all the food and drinks i consumed over the weekend...

If any of you are interested in what MAKES you gain a KILO this is it -

fri - 3 yager bombs, couple of pulses, a beer, 10 or more wines, a couple of udls, 2 pieces of pizza, no exercise sat - BIG chicken snitzel burger with cheese onion and gravy, 20 prawn cocktail with wayyy too much thousand island dressing, 6 or more pieces of home made italian style pizza, and no exercise
sun - YES there was loads of exerercise followed by a healthy salad roll for lunch... then i went down hill and had 3 champanges, sooo much bickies cheese and dip and then pasta and pizza for tea - no that wasnt a mistake there was pizza every night when i look at that!!

So to avoid weight loss avoid the above! Honestly what did i think was going to happen when i got on the scales monday morning - im lucky it was only a kilo!! Jennas back now though and im keen for the next few weeks and learning from my mistakes for the future!

Well done to all of you who lost and all of you still to weigh in xx

Week 2

Well... I MADE GOAL!!! WOOOOOOO!!! I weighed in spot on 60kg... I brought my weigh-in forward to yesterday morning so I could be at goal for my birthday, and I did it. Only a loss of 200g but I still got there... WOOOO HOOOO!!! It's only a little loss coz I had a baaaad week alcohol wise, with white wine on Tuesday night, lots of Bacardis on Thursday night and lots and LOTS of Bacardis on Saturday night. Very unusual for me seeing as I'm nearly ALWAYS the designated driver - so much so that one of my mates started calling me Desi for a while! Still, it was my birthday week, so I figure I was allowed!! And I still lost... Anyways, I hope the rest of you have had a good week too... Now it's back on track and onto maintenance for me - up to 23 points from 19, so it'll be interesting adjusting!

I'm never drinking again! (Yeah Right!)

Hey gang,
Well firstly I should introduce myself- I'm Carly (bouncing_soul79).
I have finally managed to get some time on the internet so thought I better log in here and make a contribution.
Been on WW since the beginning of January and have already hit a bit of a plateu! Been stuck in the 74's for the past 3-4 weeks, it's driving me crazy. I had intended on working really hard this weekend, eating right, exercising heaps to get down to the 73's, but I dont think it will happen.
Yesterday I had to drive 2 hours to take photos at a wedding for a friend of my mums, left home a 10am and didn't get back until 4pm, then a friend came over and we proceeded to make cocktails...arghhhh.... I dont usually drink, I dont know what came over me. Oh they were yummy, but I'm regretting it today. We made long island iced tea, champagne cocktails, banana slushie things, and we drank so much more, ate loads of cheese and crackers and then decided to cook a bbq..... so yeah I'm dreading the weigh in tomorrow.
Hopefully I can get my act together today and do some exercise, hopefully the scales will go down tomorrow and not up.........

Oh yeah and just want to say how well everyone did on the first weigh in, it's so good to see the scales going down for everyone!!

Alright off to clean up the mess I left in the kitchen last night, not a pretty sight to wake up to a kitchen full of dishes after a night drinking..... that will teach me!

Good Luck with the Weigh In's this week!!

TGIF

Another sesh with the personal trainer this morning - abs still killing me from Wednesday, so that must be good. At least I have some underneath there somewhere...!! Lots of running this morning - thank goodness for the C25K training! Up to week 4, session 3 tomorrow - eek! Dying about the thought of 20 mins running, as 5 mins is still kicking my butt. Will see how I go tomorrow.

Anyone here in Sydney interested in Sunday kayaking at Spit bridge one day? Would love to try it!

Got out of work early, phew. Done my internet grocery shopping to arrive in the am. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Week 1 Weigh-In- Sherrie

Hello ladies!

Happy to report a loss of 1kg for this week! So I'm now 76.5kg with 8.5kg to go for my goal! I am getting excited, because my motivation levels are very high and my goal seems for the first time within my reach.

I really believe the reason I've had a couple of good losses in row now is because of the C25K program I'm halfway through at the moment. I can feel the improvement in my fitness every week with it. Next week is week 5 of the program, and those who know the program know that means the dreaded 20min straight run at the end! I have to say though that I really appreciate what my body can do at the moment and believe it can hack it!

How is everyone enjoying the show at the moment? What do you think of the new ladies who started last night? Laura seems like such a sweetie and, well, P'eta seems very determined! Will be very interesting to see how they fit into the groups.

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend making good choices and good luck for your next weigh-in! Take care x

HOWS EVERYONES WEEK GOING?

Hi all, how are your weeks going? keeping focussed, still moving!! Ive had a great week so far and looking forward to the weekend! Hens night friday night so putting in even more work early on. Keep the posts coming and make sure you yell out if you need a chat or just to brag! Take care x

weigh in

Hey girls my new display name is Angellelove instead of Angelle cause for some reason it wouldnt let me back in :( Any way had my weigh in today what a bad outcome 76.8 exactly the same as last week!!!! Not sure what is going on did HEAPS of exercise but did have maybe a little too much chocolate????? Anyway better luck next week hey..... Great job on youre losses!!!!!!!!!! Love Angie xox

Sherrie's weekend

Well done everyone who has weighed in today!! All those results are fab! You guys are so inspiring… I feel so flat today, but reading about your losses makes me want to go out there and exercise my bum off big time! (Errr, quite literally!)

I had a pretty good weekend WW-wise bar one exception. I went to movies on Saturday and went to ask for a small popcorn and small Diet Coke, and the lady promptly said “if you get a medium size combo, it works out cheaper”. Not quite understanding what the go was, I said yes… then got presented with a massive box of popcorn!!! Medium is about the size I remembered a large was once-upon-a-time. I love popcorn, so it wasn’t a matter of not eating all of it… so that was my slip-up for the weekend! That and a mate who came over for a BBQ on Sunday brought a block of Cadbury’s Macadamia chocolate over… so I had a bit… but not much!!! All-in-all though, it worked out within my weekly Core points, so it means its all Core food now for the rest of the week :) I absolutely killed myself at the gym on Saturday, and was then killed by my trainer (I am struggling to lift my arms up still!), so I think my weekend in total was much healthier than a normal weekend for me.

Really enjoyed the Biggest Loser last night- will be very interesting next week to see how they go weight-loss wise after their massive losses this week. And I was so glad to see Alex get up and show the rest of the Red team he's not the weakest link. I reckon it won't be enough to save him from elimination tonight though!

Hope everyone has a great day! xo

Problems with my profile

Hi girls,

sorry to have my ugly mug on this page but I was trying to put a photo in my profile and got a bit mixed up!
I'm pretty hopeless with computers. Does anyone know how to get pic on profile - not on this page. Is it even possible? I installed Hello Picassa but obviously didnt do something right.
Sorry again, I know this doesnt have anything to do with biggest loser.

WEIGH IN #1

Hi girls,

So week one and I am down 1.7kgs! Yipee!! Its been a while since I lost anywhere near this. It just goes to show you that if you put your mind to it, anythings possible.

I need to get a battery for my pedometer, so prob wont be able to start counting steps untill tomorrow.

Well done to everyone else who has lost as well. Only week one and already doing great. Just imagine what we'll get down to by the end of the series!

This week and the next 3 actually, I will need super willpower and motivation because my sister, BIL, and nephew are coming to visit from Scotland for 3 weeks.I know they will want to indulge and eat out loads.( not to mention the booze!) I WILL make sure that I WILL at least do my exercise even if it is in front of them.(maybe encourage them to do the same)

I, too am glad the blue team won last night. They seem more united as a team. Cant wait to see who they vote out tonight.

Everyone, keep up the good work and try to keep inspired by the brave people on tv doing it in front of the whole country.

Karrie x

Week 1 Weigh In

Despite a pretty slack week last week I'm down 800g, bringing me to 200g off goal... Exercise will be up-ed this week (I don't have a pedometer, and I barely did anything last week, so just getting out the door will be an improvement!) and I will be a saint in every other way possible - all my water, under my points, no eating of bonus points... and I WILL be at goal by Sunday (my Birthday).

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Caz. x

Weigh in #1

Ok, weigh in day: lost 800g, down to 95.9 for a total of 9.7kg lost (800g for this challenge). I am still on track for my goal of 8kg lost in the challenge.

Had to back off exercise the past couple of days, as my lower back is killing me - I wonder if it's te jarring from running on the treadmill in the C25K. I'm up to week 4, will do it tomorrow night if my back feels better. In the meantime, I'll stick to walking.

Am switching to the Core/No Count plan this week - I mostly eat Core foods anyhow, and will just have to get wholegrain bread instead of wholemeal. Got my groceries delivered on the weekend and have chopped up all my veggies, so I'm all set for this week. Personal trainer cancelled today, so we start Wed now - hopefully my back is all better by then.

MONDAY RESULTS!

Just posting my loss for last week - weighed in this morning and lost another 1.6kilos!! Yey!! Great start to the challenge.. Cant wait to hear how you all went! so glad the blue team won last night!! have a good day!

SUNDAY NIGHT - ALREADY

Hi all,

So its sunday night, I can never get online on weekends buts this week ive been extra keen to see how you've all gone!

I've had an..umm OKAY weekend.. better than normal i guess but not as perfect as I was after!! Friday night we went for tea at a friends and I made really really good choices, then saturday morning i had to clean (work) and I got up an hour early and did my run/walk around the park.. then last night i ended up having 4 drinks - which i counted, but wish I hadnt bothered, and then we had a late night, even though i was driving i woke up this morning feeling blah... ate a bit too much today but it wasnt too bad a stuff and had a ww meal for tea tonight.. i still felt really flat becuase i had only been for a casual walk with my partner down the street to get subway for lunch... (not too far) and then it rained all afternoon.. so to get myself out of the slump = and knowing i had you guys to answer to tomorrow, i pulled my finger out, put my walking gear on and went and ran.. almost 2.5kms... it was great, then i walked a bit further, came back and did my weights, sit ups etc etc, and im feeling great! So while chappy watches the cricket after much delays I thought id check in! im very excited about everyone that weighs in tomorrow! You can email me direct or post your result in here! whatever suits! im confident we're going to have some great results though!

GOOD LUCK - have a great day! WEEK 2 HERE WE COME!

THIS WEEKS CHALLENGE - IS A PEDOMETRE CHALLENGE... If you dont have one, stick to your regular work outs and add a bit extra each day!

FOR THOSE THAT DO - you must aquire at least 10000 every day! thats right.. and keep it on from dusk till dawn because its the incidental steps that add up!

This weekend ive got a hens night which im going to make smart choices at but drinks wont be avoided so ive decided to work extra hard from monday to friday to compensate... Better get going.. about to sit down and work out my weekly eating plan.. take care xx

WEEKEND CHALLENGE

GREAT to see your all posting! This is going to be great!!

GOALS FOR THE WEEKEND -

This weekend you must not go over your points - come on its week one - 100% effort required.. if you have a big night planned, only use what bonus points you can.. dont overdo it,

On the exercise front, get an hour in on saturday and sunday - whatever it be.. walking, running, gardenning, housework. you name it.. get active and get bloody excited about those weigh ins next week!! Have a good one!!

Hi ladies!

Hello everyone, I'm Gen ("augigi" on the WW boards). I am excited to have a goal and a plan, as I had been slowing down with my weight loss and getting a bit disappointed. I can safely say I'm not exercising 4 hours a day a la TBL, but I am definitely doing at least an hour a day of cardio, including treadmill walking and completing week 3 of the Couch to 5km challenge today, also adding pilates about 3x week.

Have been very good with food this week - trialling the Wendy plan of alternating high and low point days to try and kickstart my weightloss. It has been quite unsettling having to look up my points each day (I can't remember, brain like a sieve!), and difficult to eat 30 points one day (!), but we'll see how it goes at weigh in on Monday.

Also start with a personal trainer on Monday - there's a group of us from the WW boards who have got a small group together to share the cost of a trainer, so it's come down to about $21/day with a few of us. We'll see how that goes for the next 12 week - ties in nicely with TBL challenge!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend and a successful weigh in on Monday. Thanks for setting up the challenge and blog Jen, what a great idea!

-Gen

Let's go girls!

Thank you for organising this challenge Jenn- you're a star!!!

This has been a really positive week for me, regaining some motivation and losing a whole 1kg! This challenge is going to be fantastic for all of us- and I can't wait to rip into it! I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend blasting your fat cells into oblivion. Looking forward to getting to know you all during this challenge,

Sherrie xx
