FIST PUMP x 3 !

FIST PUMP ONE!!!
I ran 4 k! Without stopping!

FIST PUMP TWO!!
It felt awesome ! I felt strong! And I smashed my average time!

FIST PUMP THREE!!
At my weigh in today I lost another 1.9kg! Over 4kg in two weeks! And 7 since I started!

Feeling healthy happy and strong!

Under 70!!!

First of all ... Time to celebrate!!! I am in the 60s baby!!! 69.9kg!!!


Wooohooo!!!

It would be 10 yrs since i was last this weight ... And even then only briefly! Funny thing is ... Because of the exercise and running i now fit into smaller clothes than i did then!

This weeks weigh in was a bit of a mystery to me. I had no idea how it would go. No sneaky scales peaks ... I had been away and had no access to scales. It was ttom ( sorry guys) which normally means a gain.

My workouts were differently. I consistently burned 500 cal a day ... But no big 1000 cal sessions.

And i had travelled. All about. So although i was within my calories ... There was a lot of takeout ... Who knows how much salt was in that? And for me salt means serious weight retention.

Considering the work i'd put in i really hoped to Break 25kg lost. Considering how close we are to the end it would have been fabulous to bring in a big number.

But the scales are just a tool. They just give an indication of how we are going .... They should not rule our lives or emotions.

So i am celebrating. UNDER 70kg!!!

From over 94 kg to in the 60's!

Today is a good day.

Today i do laundry. Clean. Do measurements (it is meawurement week) Buy food. And stretch. I need to stretch a lot.

Tomorrow i go hard again!

Massive week!!

Last week i decided no more slow losses. This week i was going to bring it for a week and see what happens.

What resulted was 5500 calories birned in exercise.

And a 1.6kg loss.

6.1kg in 7 weeks

And 24 kg total

I have less than half a kilo to go until i am in the 60s!!!

Doing a happy dance today!

Yesterday's weigh in

.4kg lost.

Down to 71.9

Lately the weight loss is very slow and steady ... but as I was sick for quite a bit of the week ... I'll take it.

This week I am going hard. I can taste being a 60s girl. 2kg to go and I'm in the 60s. I'd love to be there by easter.

Last night's live chat was postponed to tonight,so instead of lounging at home and being happy with what a great run I had this morning I went back to the gym. 1 hour, Michelle's Rower's Revenge circuit ... a whole heap of sweat and another 500 calories burned.

That is my first 1000 calories day in a long time!

This is going to be a good week ! I feel it in my bones!

Weigh in Wednesday

This week the effort I've made training showed on the scale! I was thrilled with a 1.5 kg loss bringing my total loss this round to 3.9 kg

People are commenting constantly on my weight loss ... maybe 22kg is the stage that no one can deny it is noticeable!

Hope you all had a happy scales day too!

Week 2 weigh in.

Oh I how I wish I could pull big numbers every week. I am putting the hard work in and it is such a reward to see those numbers edging over closer to healthy each week! Especially when they move quickly!

Have to say tho - now I am getting closer to goal and my BMR is lower it is getting harder to bump those kilos fast. Especially now I am fitter and burn less calories in the same amount of exercise.

That said - I am thrilled with a loss of 500g this week! That brings my total loss this challenge to 2.3kg!!

A happy scales day indeed!

I really thought the losses would slow ...

Now that I have have lost so much weight and am now over half way in my journey I really thought the scales would slow ... that the losses would be small.

But I was a little bit hopeful. My nutrition has been spot on and so clean. I have busted a gut at the gym doing over 700 cal the last two days -and even walking on my rest day.

And this week my work paid off!

1.8kg gone. 8.6kg to my goal for this round. And a total weight loss of 19.7kg.

Next week I want to see 20kg total loss BAD. And I am going to do what it takes!

Train hard guys. Eat clean. The program works if we do it!

I am going about today with a smile!

Weigh in Wednesday!

Happy Scales Day to all!

Today was not a huge loss - I lost 400g which I am thrilled about! It hasn't been the easiest week in many ways and I am happy with a loss - especially a loss that brings me to a grand total weight loss of 17.9kg. 100g more and I will have lost 18kg which is MASSIVE in my book!

That also makes 76.4kg my official start weight for the next round of the 12wbt ... wonder what number I will be posting in 12 weeks as my final weight??

Am I a woman of my word??? OH YEAH!

Back before Christmas I spoke to Michelle Bridges on facebook. I promised her a 5kg loss in the "off season" of www.12wbt.com. I promised I would lose that 5kg by the time round 1 2011 starts on FEBRUARY 21!


Well today I DID it! Weigh in Wednesday brough a loss of 1.1kg~ This brings my total off season weight loss to 5.5kg!

I love that 12wbt TEACHES you so you can easily do this by yourself. It is more than a "diet" ... it is for life!

Happy scales day!

Morning! Weigh in Wednesday!

OK - I've had a couple of weeks I haven't weighed in. But I have dealt with those excuses and I am BACK!

Not a huge loss this week - but a loss! Another .5kg bites the dust!

Actually, realisitically if I had weighed last week this weeks number would be much bigger as I'm sure it includes the weight I needed to lose that I would have gained in the two weeks of not paying attention.

But I'm back on track. My actions are matching my intentions! I have 2.5 weeks left till kick off of the new round, and only 600g to go till I meet my goal of losing 5kg in the off season! Easy done!

Today is a new day and a busy one. The heat is going to make fitting a workout into the day very hard. I'm off to get my chores done and try to get that monkey off my back early!

Have a great day!

Weigh in Wednesday

Wednesday. And the rain keeps on coming. Kinda hard to be jubilant with a weigh in when your world seems a bit like mush - but that is what we do to keep accountable - so here I am doing it!

Today I lost .9kg. Which makes my total weight loss to be 16kg since the start of round 1! HUGE!

So I've now lost 3.9 kg in 3 weeks - well on track to lose 5kg as my bet with Mish before the start of round 1!

Stay safe guys. Stay dry. And stay on track.

Much love xx

Happy Happy Happy Day! I AM NO LONGER OBESE!!

Happy Happy Day! For the first time since I can remember - at least in 6+ years ... I AM NO LONGER OBESE!!!!!!!!!!

Today my weight dropped below the BMI range for an obese woman - now I am merely overweight ;) ;) Since so much of the reason I am doing this relates to my desire to try to avoid chronic health conditions in my future this is a BIG THING for me!!

Just as big is my drop into the 70s!!! Going from the mid 90s to the 70s is HUGE for me!! Makes me feel lighter already!

I dropped a massive 1.3kg this week! So including the week before that is 2.5kg over the silly season! Who says you cannot lose weight over Christmas and new year??

My "deal" with Mish to lose 5kg by the start of round 1 2011 is going strong. I am now down 3kg.

Happy Day indeed!

Happy Scales Dance Day!

Today is weigh in Wednesday when we are on the program. And even though nothing has we are currently on a break, nothing has changed. I still eat well. Still train. And today is Wednesday so I still weigh in!

I have a friendly bet going with Mish that I can lose 5kg before the seasons starts ... and trust me - I am going to get to that goal.

Today's weigh in gets me a lot closer. I mean, this is crazy ... who loses weight over xmas???

WELL I DO NOW!!!

1.2kg gone this week! 1.7kg out of my 5kg goal. And 13.8kg in total!!!



I am now .6 of a kg away from being in the 70s. That is HUGE to me!! And I cannot wait to get there.

So no time to rest. Breakfast as usual today. And later I train. (but first I need to get into this disaster of a house!)

I love how simple this formula is. Eat right. Train hard. You will lose. Easy.

Love.

Wednesday weigh in!

Wedenesday came fast today! Must be something about the Christmas season!

This week I am down .5kg! Yippeee! (actually - technically I am down more but since that was relosing what I ate when I set my inner teenager free I am not counting it)

I have a goal to lose 5kg by the start of round 1 2011. Actually I have a deal with Mish that it WILL be done.

And I am on my way!



.5kg is 1/10th of the way. I have 7 weeks to go. But now my foot is starting to heal I am confident I can pick up the exercising pace again!

Happy day!
