The 2009 Healthy Living Challenge!!

[Mazmos]

OMG girls - the conversation about bra cups has made me chuckle Me and my husband can fit our heads in one of my cups I hate having big boobs and was on a waiting list to get a reduction done, but then we started ttc and had to put it back.

Anyway, here goes:

I have been to WW tonight, and my start weight is 14st 1.5lbs (the .5 makes all the difference )
1st target is to lose 1 stone so need to get to 13st 1.5lbs (see how god I am at maths He He!!!)
My goal is to get to 10 stone, so a long way to go, but I am determined to do it.
Gonna walk to work again tomorrow (and will walk back too this time) and then got BD to do tomorrow night
Hope we are all being good xxx

i get confuse with stone? what is a stone in pound?


BD is excellent exercice i heard!! bring you heart rate just where you want it to be !!

Butting in again, hope that's okay.

Cambridge consultant meeting for Friday after work, 47 mins on the Wii Fit today - Aerobic, stepping classes hurts like a (%&%¤ but feels good- and .2 pounds lost according to the machinery.

Short tip for anyone having one, there is a free stepping exercise that allows you to do the steps while watching TV. TEH best idea ever! I did 1704 steps with a sweat but not an enormous one today.

1 stone is 14lbs!

bra convo is killing me! lol sat here chuckling away!

Well, my nephews (aged 8 and 5) came to stay the other week and the eldest came into the front room and i had my back to him, he and his little brother were chuckling and when i turn round they had got one of my bras, both of them had a head in a cup and it was done up under their chins! lol

i nearly fell over laughing! wish i'd had my camera to hand! lol!

My other half said i can lose as much or as little weight as i like as long as the boobs and bum stay! lol

I need to lose a stone and a half before surgery in March. I'm on Weight Watchers so it's coming off gradually but Xmas played it's evil hand in putting a few pounds back on. I'm 14 stone 3lb, fingers crossed I lose another 2lb by this time next week.

Yay! Someone else is doing Cambridge too!!

Meeting was tonight after all so I have 2 weeks worth of "food" in the kitchen and a blender at the ready. I'm a bit nervous but mostly ecstatic, I know that no matter how long it takes or how hard it is I shall lose it all and I feel like a kid before Xmas waiting for the first weigh-in! I'll be pestering you with questions Cambridge buddy!

Off to do my Wii stepping but not as much as usual since it's O+1 so we'll be burning a few more calories -ing

Ask away! Although, I'm also a member of the Minimins.com forum. There is a section for almost every diet going - including Cambridge. A lot of the questions you'll have can be answered on there.

Plus, there are loads of motivational pictures of people who have done the diet - I find it helps keep me strong if I'm tempted to cheat!!

Are you starting today??

 

[MissAma]

Are you starting today??

Had my first two meals (Capuccino shake and chicken soup) and 3 liters of water.

I had dizzy spells and hate having to travel to the loo but it's not a big deal so far!

Cool! I find the water thing so difficult though - how much are you planning on drinking a day? I've been told that it shouldn't be more than 2.25L a day. There was a woman who did LighterLife, and she drank 4L of water within a two hour period and she died. So be careful not to drink too much..

I don't like the soups personally. Did you get some of the porridge? I love them - feels like eating real food as opposed to shakes all the time! I tend to just stick to the porridge, and the vanilla/banana shakes. The chocolate tetras are nice too though.

[MissAma]

My consultant doesn't have porrige so it's soup and shakes only...

You're right about being careful with the water, there was this case a couple of years ago with a woman having played on "Hold your Wee for a Wii" - a silly radio game show and she drank too much and died. I want to drink 3 a day and to be fair having it faster makes it easier but you're right, it's dangerous.

If you have trouble drinking it the Lemon or Apple flavour sachets seem to work!

Hey guys!

How you all doing?

Well maz appears to be wasting away - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Maz!!!

I have been doing good - not got near the scales yet - Monday morning, bring it on! Haven't gymmed as much as i wanted, got stuck late at work twice this week unfortunately but i am loving the new job so it's a healthy balance!

Gonna gym this arvo and tomorrow then have my personal training 'how is your programme going' appt on Monday!

Miel - answer to your question re IVF appt - it's a month tomorrow till the appt and i wanted to be a stone lighter by then - then i will have lost a 3rd of the weight a need to - 6 weeks per stone should be okay since i am quite overweight so it's easy to come off!

 

[rachelle1975]

Ladies,
I have updated the 1st posting on the 1st page so it reads with all our details - that way it's easier to find and see how everyone is doing okay?

Good luck for your first week weightlosses guys!!!

 

[littlestar]

I've lost 2lbs this week - i'm really pleased
