[rachelle1975]

Welcome to the 2009 Healthy Living Challenge!!​

Week Commencing Monday 5th January 2009​

Rules

1. You must be smiley and chirpy
2. We will not judge you or make oinking noises if you do not lose weight
3. Chocolate and alcohol do have healing powers - just use the power for good (and in moderation!)

It doesn't matter if you are following a diet club, a magazine diet or just making little changes to your normal lifestyle - all are welcome on this lovely little thread!!

Just post your name and if you want, post your starting weight/BMI/Goal weight. Each week after just tell us how you did (or avoid posting if you are anything like me and had a bad week!!!)

Yay i'm in!

Starting weight 67kgs (was 72kgs, but I have dropped 5kgs so far but not had a loss for a while because i've been slack!)

Goal weight - 60kgs

I will definitely avoid posting if I have a bad week

Oh, and i'm doing the CSIRO healthy living plan (I hate the word diet!) and plan to do some form of exercise everyday.

 

[miel]

Give me 2 more days i can pig myself up before i start my healthy chalenge January 2 second !

i will be here posting weekly hopefully

 

[NeyNey]

Oh I'm so in. I've lost 5 kilos the past month already.
Still a long way to go

Oh and I'm following the Bodytrim program.

 

[FJL]

Well done on your loss so far NeyNey!

Whats bodytrim?

 

[maz]

I'm in but need to finish my crimbo chocolates, mince pies, and sweets. Plus I have a freezer full of nibbly party food which must be consumed - there's too many starving children in the world for me to waste food. Then I shall weigh myself and work out my goal weight ready for Monday. Are we going to do our 'weigh-in' every monday, or does it not matter what day we do it on?

Oh maz i love you!

Ney Ney and FJL.... man you guys have a seirous headstart - is that cheating??? he he - i may have to remove a limb to catch you up!

Weigh-in will be once a week on whatever day you choose it to be - that way if people are going to clubs/classes then they can report back after.

My aim is to eat healthily and exercise every day after finishing my new job! hurrah!

 

[Mazmos]

Well done on setting this thread up Rachelle I will be motivated now!!
Will post my start weight on 7th Jan after my first WW class of the New Year - won't be good after all the tonight!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR in advance as I won't get chance to say it later xxx

May the New Year bring us all what we really, REALLY want

Maz x x

Please count me in, will be starting on 02 Jan, just going to start eating better and go to the gym after my holiday in January. I have lost about 7 lbs already and need to lose another 4 stone to be looked at for fertility treatment, so have the reason just need to wire my jaw shut now lol!

 

[mer01]

ooooohhh can i play too please, i agree i must get rid of the xmas choccies first

 

[Helen_26]

You can vount me in guys. I agree though, have to get rid of xmas goodies first. I will weigh and post on monday. I've lost 2 1/2 stone this year, but had lost my will power. This is just the motivation I need to get started again.

 

[FJL]

Helen - well done on your amazing loss so far, that is fantastic!!!

 

[miel]

i ate oatmeal this morning instead of my favorite muffin ....i am doing small step...but i really think if i eat healthy breakfast i will be available to ovoid major craving during the day..

 

[NeyNey]

Whats bodytrim?

It's basically a low carb and high protein diet. But there's no strenuous exercise involved which sold it for me
I actually lost 6.8 kgs in a month, but I had a bit of a bender over the xmas, new year break lol...So I put a little back on.

If you search for it you'd probably find the website - don't want to post links here though.

Congrats on your loss too!

 

[rachelle1975]

I think i'll def start monday - my mai tai hangover meant i needed carbs... and more carbs

Don't worry though, not piking out - baby vs chocolate.... oooh now that is a tough decision!

 

[natthecat]

i'm a monday starter!

too many party foods still to get through.

i will weigh on monday morn and will update every monday with success

 

[Mazmos]

I will be cutting down from Monday, but will post my WW weight on Wed xx

 

[AutumnSky]

I'm up for it! I started Cambridge Diet on Monday.

Start weight - 215lbs
Goal weight - 140lbs

Long way to go, but its definitely do-able!!

I've already lost 2.5 stones in 2008 (although I have managed to put 1 stone back on ).

Am starting to realise that IVF/IUI may well be our only option for conceiving, so need a BMI under 30 to be able to have it done on the NHS! Have got my follow-up appt with gynae consultant on 12th Jan after Lap and Dye last month. I'm hoping things will start moving forward now....

 

[rachelle1975]

Good for you Autumn! and hardcore on the Cambridge!

I just weighed in at 205... man if i was only 6 foot it would be better. Since my BMI has to be under 30 for the IVF - reckon if i cut my leg off it would still count

I gotta be 163 for my IVF... I CAN DO IT!!!!

 

[HAYS]

Im in, I want to loose abit of weight,tone up and do some bloody exercise apart from walking up and down the stairs

Not sure on my weight, hate the scales!!!!!

Good luck chickaroos!
