Luscious Losers Meeting 20/01/12

[Bostik]

Hello, Losers! Hope you're all doing good today As you can see we finally have a name! Luscious Losers won the poll last week 10 to 4! I hope you're all proud to be a Loser, lol!

Weigh ins: Everyone post in your losses this week! Hope you've all done brilliantly! You have until Monday to post your weight to be included in the slimmer of the week Any newcomers, post or PM me your start weight and you will be included in it from next week

Challenges: How did you all do on your challenges you set yourself? And you can set yourself new ones for next week. Hopefully it'll help us all stay on track!

Discussion: How are you all doing with keeping active? I know this time of year for me, I am always trying to make excuses! It's too cold to go all the way to the gym. I think I am coming down with something...maybe I shouldn't go. Just generally feeling sorry for myself! But when I go I am so glad I did! Oh and of course, anything else you want to discuss!

 

[Bostik]

I lost 2.2lbs this week! Much more than I could have hoped for! So very pleased about that

I also set myself the challenge to get through my 20 minute run for C25K. And I did it! Was so proud of myself! Couldn't quite believe it lol.

This week I am challenging myself to start Kettleworx. I think it'll be brilliant for me. Gonna pick up the kettlebell tomorrow

Like I said in the first post, I keep making excuses when it comes to exercising. Keep feeling like I can't be bothered today. But once I actually finish doing it, it feels great that I have done it. Having a routine definitely has helped. Recently I have been doing C25K Monday, Wednesday and Friday and a strength training session on Saturday. Cos I have my days, it makes it a little easier to stay on track. It's the day I run so I will run today!

 

[parfittaroles]

Well done on your hard work!

Weigh ins: I'm now 125lbs & very pleased about it. A healthy bmi of 20.8 woo hoo!

Discussion: well I've started getting back into being active. Done Zumba, aerobics & the gym this week

 

[Bostik]

Wow what a brilliant loss! I definitely notice bigger losses when I do more exercise!

1lb on for me this week :-( not surprised tho, had a very heavy weekend which lasted until Tuesday as it was the hubbys 40th. My challenge was to drink 3 litres of water a day and have found this quite easy this week. Trying to stay on track this weekend then should see a good loss next week. May even start C25K again on Monday.

 

[Bostik]

Oh definitely do. I'm loving c25k right now!

 

[parfittaroles]

Thank you I did go over my allowance on one day but I behaved the rest of the week. Two more pounds & I can change my allowance to maintain - yippy!

Lost 2 lb so am at 13 stone 4 lb now so quite pleased, : ) still haven't managed to exercise but have been really busy with work. But intend to do workout DVD twice at least this week, and really persevere with drinking the water, I do enjoy coffee and have about. 5 cups a day but now make sure to have a large glass of water as well each time. Had a sort out of my wardrobe and have got quite a few clothes that are too big, which has encouraged me. So I think I will be brave an sell them on eBay rather than putting them away till I regain the weight again which is my usual mind set !! : ( positive thinking, this is for life,. I have spent almost 25 years losing and regaining the same 2/3 stones and this time I am doing it slower but I think I am finally in control. Apologies for the essay fellow losers!!! X

 

[parfittaroles]

Don't apologise we're here to listen to each others stories & help when we can!
Well done on all that weight loss!

 

[Bostik]

parfittaroles - i bet you're well excited! Also, you should try kettlebells. I'm picking mine up tomorrow and starting sunday. So excited!

candyflee - Brilliant loss and how do you find ripped in 30? was gonna do 30 day shred but chose kettleworx instead in the end.

 

[Bostik]

Great loss hotsue I really think it's better to do it slow. So much more likely to stay off!

 

[betterforever83]
