Weight-loss challenge!

[bookaddict43]

A week or so ago guinny_hamilton posted about wanting to lose some weight. Since I do too - (I want to be fit so I can participate more at Surf club and also want to wear some of my old clothes to the Browncoat Cruise in December)we decided to join up and diet together.

Each week we're going to post our progress or lack of it and hopefully encourage each other to achieve positive outcomes.

The rest is cut for boring dietry talk and measurements etc. Wish us luck and cross your fingers for us!

I'm planning on gradual changes this first week.

One of my big failings as far as eating goes is that I like hot chips for lunch. There's a coffee shop in town that makes the tastiest chips ever! So part of my first challenge - hot chips once a week and remembering to take something healthier for lunch to work.

The second part of my challenge is to walk on my walking machine at least 3 days a week. I've been very slack about this and haven't used it for over a year...

Anway now for the actual weight data and stuff

Height 157cm (5ft 7in)

Weight 88 kilograms (according to the charts I should be somewhere between 65 & 70)

Waist coming tomorrow cause the little guy used the measuring tape and I can't find it

Here's hoping I can meet the first challenges!! :)

Yes! *encourages*

I'll post mine tomorrow (if I can get the laptop to work, that is) because I'm at my parents' now and they don't have scales or a tape measure *tssks*

You're tiny *pets you*

You want to lose about 20 kilos then? So do I! Yay!

I set up a community for us, since I have another interested flister. That way we can all keep up with each other.

It's called clubweightloss. LOL So go over and join up!

Now we definitely need those icons!

Count me in! I told Guinny that I've already started. Since I'm American I have to do it in pounds and have lost 24 so far (many more to go, though).

I'm so glad to hear others are doing this!!

Wow you're doing well!

I started a community clubweightloss so we can keep tabs on ourselves without boring the rest of our flist...I thought we could exchange ideas and recipes etc?
