Thanks.

Carrot- I wanna look perfect for once in my life, always been overweight.

Stick-I should have done it earlier, can't believe how easy this is going to be.


2 mths ago my weight is 100+ and my waistline is 42" . Now i'm 96 and my waist is 38"

I just feel that I can lose more at least until the end of the year.

Short term goals, lose 3 kgs in June.

Long term, be in 80kgs in December.

Ack! Cannot sit out one!

Hmm...atm, we're thinking of carrot and stick by Syd G. Maybe can still ask her? We haven't quite started other than visualizing goals, except for a person whom was requested not to participate because of underweight.

Thanks sooo much SydG

Ze stats (f, 30, 1.65m, 74-75 kg)

My weight is fluctuating a lot so I'll put it at 74 - 75 kg. I cannot believe that I put back on 1.5kg lost with last challenge in just over a week. Granted I was feeling ill and having to take lots of fluids so maybe it's that.

Will have to think about my carrot vs stick before posting.

redninja,
mind sharing how u lose the weight on the last challenge?

Im a case of skinny fat. I just thought it would be a good motivation for me to hit the gym daily and eat well

Dont la like that, im here to motivate you all and also which to join.. tak boleh ke ?

hello fatsos.. i was thinkingcarrot+stick since morning and definitely i way harder than what i tought. but at least, sincering to myself, why i wanna be fitso :

carrot1: looking howt
carrot2: loose some love belly, gain some visible 6/8/10 pax
stick1: my feet will feel sore because overweight after long walk.
stick2: i'll get diabetes if i dun control my diet.

Hmm nothing drastic lah.

Just workouts 3x a week weights. Cardio once in awhile. 30DS sporadically or some other new thing I felt like trying like HIIT or burpee-mountainclimber etc circuit. Cut food intake - good on weekdays, bad on weekends but think they balanced out to have a deficit each week so I consistently lost about 0.5 - 1 lbs per week.

I haven't been well for about 2-3 weeks with various things - headaches, neckaches, bladder infection. The worst is the bladder infection as I have to keep guzzling cranberry juice and water which definitely throw weigh-ins.

Shenay,
If you're skinny fat, there are some things that u hv to overcome.

1) Fear of the scale going up
2) Fear of eating
3) Fear of heavy weight training

I'm guessing you've starved your body before - hence losing muscles, hence no body definition. You're gonna hv to put some muscles back on, and this will mean that you have to eat more, and see increment on the scale. Supplement this with heavy weight training to bring out definition and do your cardio to get rid of the excess fat.

Sorry for being prejudiced but I'm sick of hearing girls wanting to lose fat on their tummy/arms/legs but dont want to lift weights and eat more to gain those muscles. I hope you're not one of them but if you are, thank goodness you're still young

A
Carrot - I want to lose weight before we start trying for a family at the end of 2009
Stick - No want to be a fat mama cos it's easy to just go downhill from there (no offense to mamas at all but if my starting point is like this weight then to lose weight after preggers will be 10000 times harder than at lower/ideal weight)

B
Carrot - I want to proudly wear a bikini once in my life (and before kids too )
Stick - - "A moment on the lips, is a thousand on the hips" All the fat rolls you acquired from all the junk & chocolates are they worth it? Nope. Now wearing a swimsuit also malu, and even more malu you used to be a swimmer!

Hmm I dont mind the scale going up if it mean increasing muscle mass. I dont starve myself, I just avoid fried food and all. Most of the time, I follow meals suggestions given in the other thread. I cut down on white rice but increase intake on meat/fish and vegetables. Currently I take ON whey protein on days that I work out. At the moment Im still very weak on the threadmill, can only do the cross trainer. But I do push ups and squats and lunges. Hopefully Im on the right track.

This is why I love it when girls train. They research first. Brains before brawn.
You're doing almost everything right at the moment. I put almost cuz I don't know how the heck you train.

Don't forget to add burpees too. 20 of that a day = accelerated fat loss.

carrot (short term): to stay healthy and get 4-6packs......
stick1: no beers for 3 months

carrot (long term): to run half marathon by Q210 and full month by Q410
stick2: no beers for 1year.......


oh yeah...no beers is a torture for me.....

Care to suggest a better stick to me? heh

i dont know, man. what scares you the most?

erm... i don't have any phobias, really.

GreyLegion - let me suggest.....send every challenger a RM20 Subway voucher........painful on your pocket...

if you dont have money, work part-time to fund the voucher purchase....
