Remember that you are trying to lose 100lbs as a team by 14th Feb 2011, it seems a long way off but we all know that Turkey 'n' Tinsle season is just around the corner so please keep eachother motivated.
Each week I will set a mini challenge which will help you with your weight loss, if anyone has any suggestions please PM me.
Prizes will be awarded to each member of the team that has the biggest weight loss in total and there is also an individual prize for higest % of body weight lost.

PLEASE BE HONEST!!!! I am not asking for proof of weight or doctors notes, just play fair and report your weight honestly. After all, the biggest prize we can ever win is genuine weight loss and improved fitness :)

Good Luck everyone!!

Please copy and paste the following template to use in your updates. Many of us are on different time zones and have different weigh in days. You can adjust the chart for your own weigh in days but each member must weigh in on the morning of 14th Feb.(you may add heaviest and current pics if you like and then an end of challenge pic)

WEEK ONE CHALLENGE!!!

The first one is an easy one to get us started......

This week I challenge you to try one new form of exercise that you haven't tried before. Maybe its borrowing a fitness DVD from the library, or taking a bilke ride around your local area, perhaps a few loops at your nearest ice rink? or finally giving the free online 200squat challenge a try? Whatever you choose please share your experience with your team.

Exercise challenge.... i'll let you know soon, have to think about it :)
 
My new exercise was breaking out some weight routines. I did squats, 60 degree pushups, bent-over rows, step-ups and prone jackknifes. It was fun! Of course, every time I go down a few stairs, my quads tremble, but still. It was fun!

Of course, when I went out for my after-dinner stroll, my 6-year-old drill instructor came along. And took off running. "Mom, you're not even trying!" Ouch. At least she only made me jog/brisk walk a mile. (I'm really glad that she's active and encouraging me to be active, but I spent most of that time convinced my legs were about to collapse under me.)

If I ever say I am going to do that again, please shoot me - pain doesnt even begin to describe how I feel this morning!
 
Ok people. Day 2 so what little change are you going to make to help us (and you) meet the goal? Today I plan on removing from my plate roughly a quarter of each item on there.
 
Lunch today is a cold roast pork (lean only) sandwich (granary bread) with tomato and salad - no mayonaise today, just some grain mustard.

Having 1/2 marrow stuffed with brown rice & some home made bolognese sauce tonight - am reducing the amount of rice I usually have (40g) down to 30g, plus I am halving the amount of parmesan I grate on top (1/2 oz not 1 oz)

I am back to my normal exercise regime (thank God!):
This evening is on the rowing machine: stretching, then 8 mins warm up (up to 70% max HR), 2 x 15m intervals each at up to 80% max HR, 5 mins at 70% HR between intervals then finally an 8 min warm down follwed by a few stretches.
 
After lifting yesterday, I'm absolutely ravenous today. I've logged 600 calories before 11am (although I'm still eating the last 100). So, to stay on track I'm reminding myself every time I eat that: It's ok to be really hungry as my muscles recover, and to eat closer to the top of my intake range than I normally do. BUT I need to eat foods that facilitate recovery and make sure not to get carried away and eat more than I'm actually hungry for.
 
Here is my stats guy.

Blimey - I though my workout was tough! Way to go Dawnball!


Right, I wont bore you every day with a post so here is my diet and exercise up to the next weight in:

(Each rowing machine session has an 8 min warm up & 8 min warm down at 70% max HR, plus 5 mins at 70% between each interval)

Weds - Rowing Machine: 2 x 16' intervals @ 80% max HR - 53 mins total
Thurs - Rowing Machine: 2 x 18' intervals @ 80% max HR - 57 mins total
Friday - Rest
Sat - Cross Trainer: 38' of intervals, steadily building from 50W to 175W resistance over 8 mins then 8 sets of 1 min at 200W/2 mins at 100W, then dropping down again over 8 mins. 16 mins total at 70% HR and 22 mins at 80% HR.
2 x 100 sit-ups and about 10 mins of weights.
Sun - Rowing Machine: 2 x 15' intervals @ 80% max HR - 51 mins total

Food wise, I am on a max of (about) 2,000 calories a day (depending on duration and intensity of exercise) - Friday will be a bit lower, as its a rest day. No fancy fad diet endorsed by some Z list celebrity, just healthy and nutritionally balanced meals :drool5:
