Countdown to 2009 Challenge: Official Thread

mojo jojo — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 14:56:17 GMT

Hi all,

As the Halloween Challenge is coming to an end, and we've missed the boat on the Christmas Challenge which started a little while ago, here's a new one to keep us going until the end of the year.

Starting Saturday 1st November and finishing on Wednesday 31st December, this challenge will run for 8 1/2 weeks taking us all the way to the New Year.

What are your New Year's resolutions for 2009 going to be?

What were your resolutions for 2008, and have you managed to keep them? The next 8 weeks are your last chance to lose weight before the New Year, I'm pledging to leave a heap of kilos in 2008, never to see them again!

If anyone would like to join this challenge, it's really simple.

Make a post in this thread introducing yourself.
Send me a PM with (a) your starting weight, and (b) your pledge for the challenge.
Each week after your weigh in, send me an update PM with your progress (new weight).
Post in the thread regularly, there's a lot of support and encouragement to be gained from the wonderful women and men on the forums, this is a great way to get to know each other a little better.

If you haven't been in a challenge before, you might like to read through some of the posts in the recent challenges (Halloween Challenge, Spring Challenge, Drop a Dress Size Challenge) to get an idea of what happens.

That's it for rules, I don't mind what day of the week you weigh in, just send me your progress when it suits you.

~~I'll create a spreadsheet later today, it will be attached to this post~~.

The spreadsheet is at the bottom of this post.

BIG 40 Weight Loss Countdown

BIG 40 — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 08:10:45 GMT

Hi Naomi

I hope you had a good night. Did you get to go for a walk? Well, Day 1 is over for me - did fine. Fruit and veg during the day, lots of green tea (prefer it at the moment instead of water) and chicken/salad for dinner. Went to Boxing and have woken up this morning with a really stiff back. Great. Feel really annoyed actually. Am going to the gym to try and improve my strength/back etc, but the last 2 times I have been I end up aggravating my back. Anyway, have a physio appointment tomorrow and I'm sure that will help. I've also been trying acupuncture recently (any excuse to lie down in a quiet room for 1/2 hour) tee hee.

Am going to make a pot of zucchini/bacon soup this morning - I kind of lived on it first time around with TF. It tastes yummy, fits in with the programme and helps satisfy my stomach. What do you munch on to get you through the day? Have you tried any of the pre-prepared TF meals? I have bought some, but haven't tried them yet.

Hoping all is well that end! Happy Day 2 (or 1a for you) :hehe:

Jx
PS I'm in Adelaide, where are you?

3 weeks down ? many to go.

DEBBIEZZ — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:22:28 GMT

Hi All

Three weeks on TF and I am amazingly still losing weight and being good even though I have been very very very tempted to just have a bit of a nibble on some take away, a block of chocolate or a packet of chips, but I have resisted. Today was weigh in number 3 and I have lost .9 kg this week making a total of 4.5 kg so far, and I am still determined to lose 10kg by christmas but I am thinking I might be sabotaging this by having 4 Christmas parties to attend in the next couple of weeks so I am hoping to find something TF friendly to eat at them. Good luck to all.

First month on TF!!!

beckels — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:12:21 GMT

Well today I weighed in for my 4th week and lost a total of 4.9kg (I was aiming for 5kg) and a total of 6cm. When I first started I was finding it so hard but this is the longest I have ever been on a diet!!! and now I have got it !!! WOOO HOOOO - I am so excited can you tell!!!

This week I am concentrating on exercise - I take everyday or every minute at a time!!!

There are so many success stories out there and I WANT TO BE ONE!!! can anyone tell me more about these challenges?

Should I Join TF????

Brooka — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:49:28 GMT

Hi All,

I'v been wanting to lose weight since i gave birth to my 6th child in may 2008, Although i have been walking heaps and using my x trainer but not sure if i'm losing any ;) lol, (as i don't own scales 2 scared 2::blush:. I've been searching the net for wks and i still come back to TF, after reading just about every post i think it will be well worth it :), i assume all you TF would agree????

Any Hints on getting started would be greatly apreciated!!!

1st week weigh in

Justinecandoit — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 16:31:14 GMT

Hey All

I just had to come and share my achievement for my first week. I lost 2.1kg and 3cm and I am rapped. It all seems a bit too easy, but I am going to keep going and really try and get to my goal. My mini goal is 10kg for Xmas and then I can treat myself to a hair colour as I am in deperate need, too many greys showing. This should keep my mind focused.

I love this place and TF. Thanks

Justinecandoit.

Yay I lost 2 kilos

Kissy — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:16:47 GMT

Hi everyone I just had to share my joy I had my first weigh in and I lost 2.1kg I'm so happy about that. Now I just need to keep motivated at losing more. I need to do this for myself I need to lose more.

YAY YAY IM SO HAPPY

Kissy

FEELING FANTASTIC!

lil74 — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 19:53:52 GMT

dietjunky — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 09:38:14 GMT

hi all well i got this idea from seeing the threads about racing to the 60's and 70's so sorry stole the idea :D, i thought of joining those groups but am a little away from the 70's or 60's, so my goal at the moment is to get under 100kg, so if any one would like to join me feel free i would really like the company and support:).

so let the race begin :P

Madra — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:47:46 GMT

Hi everyone,

i can't beleive i only have 3kgs to my first mini goal!!:hehe:

Madra...

bancuzz — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:59:52 GMT

And I went to update my ticker and Ive nearly lost 20 kilo's. YAY

Now my next aim is to get into the 60's

Hope you all are having a great day

New Years Resolution

one-last-try — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:25:53 GMT

Hello everyone i was wondering if there is any New Years challenges starting on the 1/1/09 ? I am doing a 97 day one that ends at Xmas, then i have a week off and want to start again for the New Year.

From New Years 1/1/09 until 10/04/09 is 100 days. Easter is on the 12/4/09 so it would be like a New Years to Easter challenge.

Would that be too long? Would anyone join?

I like going through TF with other people because i find it helps keep me accountable and i feel a sense of duty to complete what i set out to do. I am open to suggestions, i just really want to have an idea of where i am going once my current challenge is over. :D

I finally cracked the 30kgs gone!

tskellernsmith — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 18:48:43 GMT

It has taken a while, but I have finally lost 30kgs!

These last 3 months have been slow... (probably because I eat too much of what I'm allowed). But persistence pays off eventually :)

Question?

Yoyo girl — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:52:44 GMT

Hi all,

Today im having a Tuna salad for lunch... is this ok? or should i take out the Tuna? Also if i add that to my lunch is that my protein for the day? Or can i still have the palm size protein for dinner also????? confused :hehe:

Feeling abit disappointed 2nd week weigh in

fatfortoolong — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:03:57 GMT

Just got back from my second week weigh in and feel abit disappointed, more so in my food choice this week of having an Indian Korma last night and a chicken focachio when I was out Saturday night. I only managed to lose 1kg and nothing around my waist :( Not sure if should be happy to have at least lost, my first week i lost 3 kgs and 2cms around my waist. I haven't been able to drink as much water this week either, perhaps this hasn't helped. Other than that I've stuck to everything and had heaps of salads and veges.

On another note my local TF has the shake aways in yay!

mels week 25 weigh in

mels79 — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:36:46 GMT

melskie — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:11:24 GMT

]Hey everyone,

size12 — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:03:13 GMT

I need a challenge to stay on track and completely stick to the program for the next 3 weeks without faltering!! they say it takes 3 weeks to form a habit - I NEED TO REFORM A HABIT!!:D:D:D:D:):):):):):w00t::w00t::cool::cool:

mojo jojo and taitgirl01 - Goal Buddies!!!

taitgirl01 — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 13:49:51 GMT

Hi Jo (and everyone),

Welcome to our new thread. I am so glad that we are doing this should be great ;) I thought that we could post here and encourage (and discipline :hehe:) each other all the way to goal.

First stop for us I think is no norties on the weekend :hehe: Can we manage? I am B2B atm and plan on staying here for a bit!

I love the idea of having different focuses each day. B2B, water, exercise, veges, what else can you think of?

What day do you weigh in? I weigh in on Sundays usually.

See you here... Amy

Dan1elle's weightloss

Dan1elle — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 12:03:52 GMT

I have decided to start a thread to keep a track of my weightloss.

Well, the 1st week has not been too much of a challenge. I am laid up with Whooping Cough at home, and since home has the most temptations around, I survived with no cheating :)

I did have a couple of days with withdrawl symptoms from caffeine, as I am/was addicted to Starbucks Chai Latte's. Any day could see me having between 2-3 large (venti) Chai Lattes, so I am glad I have not been craving them. I have cheekily decided that there is not much difference between a small chai and a small cappacino (which we can have has a treat), so as my treat in any week where I lose over 1kg, I am allowing myself 1 small Chai. OMG, my Chai this morning was fantastic, they haven't tasted so good for a long time :w00t:

I was a little disappointed in my initial weight loss, as I have seen bigger losses around. Earlier in the week I was showing a loss 4.5kg, but my Dr then put me on a cough medicine to stop this exhausting coughing, which is loaded with sugar! I am now just trying to use it once at night, instead of every 4 hours. :unsure:

So, Week 1 is a 3.6kg loss. I am aiming for 2kg this week, and I still have this week laid up at home, an assignment due and an exam next Tuesday.

I have a Mini Goal of 15 kg by Xmas, which I may be pushing to get to.

First week down

Leah81 — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 18:52:13 GMT

I had my first weigh in today and have lost 2.2kg and 3cm off my waist. Pretty happy with that!! I am pretty pumped for the second week and hoping i can get some time to do some extra exercise this week (did 3 x 30min walks last week, but would like to up the exercise a bit). I am surprised at how easy the diet is and i think it makes it easier that 2 other women at work are doing it! Fingers crossed the weight keeps coming off so easily!!

weekly weigh in

mystical_fan — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 15:11:45 GMT

Had a shocker the last week, but I'm back on track. Didn't weigh in last week (8th) but weighed in last Friday (7th). Much to my amazement I had lost .500g. Not much I know, but considering the weekend I had (8th, 9th and 10th) I am grateful for small mercies. Went away for my girlfriend's birthday and ate and drank all the wrong stuff. Got right back on the diet when I came home though.

Does anyone else not stick to the diet occassionally and if so, how do you cope? I feel absolutely terrible, considering I've only been on the programm for three weeks. Has anyone got any tips about coping with Christmas and the holidays. We are going away for ten days and it's going to be hard.

Any suggestions will be more than welcome. thanks

Mystical_fan

12 days into it!!!!

caroline35 — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:05:52 GMT

Day 12. I have been so good. I have stuck to the rules, and have been very disciplined. I had a very bad coke(coca-cola) habit that I had to kick, and apart from having excruciating head aches from the caffeine withdrawals, I havn't faulted at all, even when my partner is drinking his nice cold glass of coke, I have sat there and sipped my water. I have also had a few drinks of Sprite Zero. It contains no sugar and no carbohydrates at all, so it is a nice alternative to water at times when i feel like something with a bit of zing.

I weiged in at day 10 and had lost 1.6 kg. I must admitt I was a little disappointed, as I was hoping for more than that, but I still have my eye on the 30kg loss. I work in a male dominated, uniformed job, and although we all get along really well, the snide remarks I get about my weight, on a daily basis, I must admitt I am fed up with. I am a very confident person, and do not ever show that their remarks hurt me, but, I am a woman, 6 months into a new and fantastic relationship, so, I of course do get upset from their comments.

I am losing this weight for myself firstly, but, also to put an end to the constant fat jokes.

I CAN and WILL lose that extra 30kg I don't want.

3rd weigh in..

ForMe! — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:59:10 GMT

Well I am happy to say that I had a loss this last fortnight of 2.5 Kilo's:) Last week I didn't weigh because I went to a conference and could not face the scales on Monday morning knowing how many bad things I had during those two days.

Fortunately I was really good this week and made up for it. The good news about my blow out at the conference is that I got straight back on as soon as I got home. I think if I can just keep catching the wagon if I slip off then I will achieve my goals.

Hope everyone else had/has a good week.

Tuesday Weigh Ins

12ee — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:15:22 GMT

SATURDAY WEIGH-IN CLUB

melodrama — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:26:05 GMT

Is there anyone else who weighs in on Saturdays? I thought we could start our own thing and get to know eachother and get the pom-poms out and root eachother on during the week in anticipation for the weekend.

It'll be my first weigh-in this week. Hoping to lose 1-1.5kg, but with TTOM not sure if my body will wanna do the same.

Looking forward to meeting the Saturday Girls!

5 kgs gone .............................

Helen & Ray — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 11:25:14 GMT

Morning Everyone,

Well, I am very happy to be able to tell you that I am now 5kgs lighter than when I started back on TF four weeks ago :D This week I lost 1kg and I am delighted with the results. I feel vert healthy again and it's fantastic to be back on track :hehe::cool:

I tried a TF apricot munch bar through the week when I went on a journey away from home. Not only was it convenient, it tasted great and it worked a treat. I ate it at 6am, had an apple at 10am and even at 1pm I was not terribly hungry ;) I have to admit I was a bit unsure whether it would keep 'the wolf from the door' as they say but as you can see it sure did a great job :hehe:

Congrats to all of you who have lost weight this week :P

See you next Monday,

Helen x

Been on holiday -

Mrs M — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 06:19:38 GMT

only gained 800g :w00t:

I was concerned that I would gain heaps and didn't want to when I reached my 1 year anniversary of TF on 2 November. Am so happy to have only had a small gain - I was making careful choices but also enjoyed a few extras along the way :hehe:

So happy with my scales this morning and back on 2 shakes a day today - so know the extra will soon be gone :w00t:
