Lose 3kg for Easter... an invitation

First topic message reminder :

The wonderful Chookyness came up with a brilliant idea today..(while busy *cough cough* at work!)

That we all know how hard Easter is with Bun, chocolate, family celebrations etc etc, and although we all cant eat very much anymore the temptation to just stuff ourselves silly on everything that feels so right but is so wrong, is still a huge factor in life.

So here is a challenge that chooky has put together for us that we are opening up the invitation to everyone

To lose 3 kgs by the 27th april.

starting weight is on either this morning or the morning you decide to join us and you can weigh yourself as many times during the 9 days as you like to.

Final morning of the 27th we put our new weights in. also as per normal forum style we're there for all the temptations and support each of us need.

Thanks for reading and if you join us enjoy yourself

Have a great day everyone

The challenge was 3KG in nine days! So you are doing really well! Nobody can lose 9KG in 9 days! LOL!

Or can they? I hope not!

would love to lose 9kg but now dont think ill lose anything, fell off the band wagon today eating wise
BF - Shake,
Lunch - Prawns, home made dinner roll, 3 mussels
Evening, udl can, woodstock can, 4 glasses of Punch
Dinner - Passed out in bed, gosh, 2 months ago i would have drunk anyone under the table. Hopefully i can get back on track now

I had a massive chocolate binge last Wednesday and was feeling pretty low. Then I heard Shannon from the Biggest Loser say that we don't need to be perfect all the time, we just need to go back on the wagon. We all have bad days, don't worry!!! Just start again and you will feel so much better after a 'good' day :)

You can do it!!!

Never too late! :)

is it too late for me to start? I don't think I will lose 3kg by the27th but I will try. my weight this morning was 88.2kg

I have no idea how I have been going, as I have had no scales since Tue as I am staying at a Resort. I have walked for k's every day and have not eaten anything to out of the norm. I have been scouting chemists as you will sometimes see a set with the whole BMI thing on them. I will be on the lookout tomorrow to find a set, even if I have to pretend I am going to by some at a store. It is frustrating not knowing how much I weigh each morning when I am a daily weigher.

How did I miss this on monday???
I think I'd better be in with bells on - starting tomorrow morning.

As I've missed a few days I'll try adding these on to the end - so I'll finish on may 1st.
Just the inspiration i need - i've got opti in the cupboard so i'm set to go.
Good luck everyone :)

Well, I lost 1/2 a kilo so far! So I am now 77KG. But the other 2.5KG might be stretching it!

How are all us Easter challengers doing???? Just thought I would pop in and ask?

I am 77.5KG, and I will TRY to lose three KG, but it will be hard! I want to be at 75KG, my next goal...

So I will definitely TRY!

Count me in too. I am not sleeved yet but need the motivation not to overdo things over Easter.
I am currently 107kg Would be happy to just not put any on over Easter really. Will try to use the treadmill daily too.

my first indulgent free day for ages! what a good day!
i brought some biggest loser shakes to help me get back on track and get some extra protien in, this was just the motivation i needed to forget chocolate and focus on ditching the rest of my weight i want to loose!!

(19th weighing in at 89.5kg) (loss to date nearly 37kg in 12 months)

Brilliant and inspiring idea!! I'm jumping on board too, currently sitting at 120kg exac-a-tackly :)

Who needs chocolate anyway!



Jiggly

count me in am sitting on 152.5kg...so 9 kgs before easter (27th April) sounds like a challenge to me...
as long as we don't win the weight back for first prize...lol
good luck/work hard
marg

Uhh... I think I might sit out of this one... can we do a 'put on 3kg in 9 days' challenge?

Gosh I love the sleeve!

This is so great that so many people are joining us... cant wait to hear how everyone is going over the course of the 9 days.

Do you think we need a weigh in day mid way through or just keep everyone guessing til we hit day 9?

your challenge you guys decide?

YAY

I need the motivation, so my starting weight is 137.2kg...
