Milestone Week 8 - weigh in and measure up

I had a 1.2kg LOSS this week, I am so happy with that result after the last month's results being dismal. Hopefully now I am back on track and I can finish this round much stronger. So I'm now weighing 82.6kg and in total I have lost 22.9kg. I am still much further behind than I wanted to be in terms of weight loss for this time frame, but I figure at least I haven't given up :)

I did my measurements this morning -
Chest - 104cm
Waist - 96cm
Hips - 113cm
Thigh L - 60cm
Thigh R - 59cm
Arm L - 30cm
Arm R - 29cm

Since starting round 1 2012 I have lost 35cm from my body. From starting round 3 2011 I have lost 59cm.

Doing the calculations it seems so far I have lost more kgs in round 3 but more CMs in round 1.

4 weeks worth of weights

Oppsy I just realised I haven't been adding my weights on here each week. They haven't been anything to rave about at all.

The last time I noted my weight done here it was on February 29th - 84.7kg. Then it followed with -

March 7th - 84.3kg
March 15th - 84.3kg
March 21st - 83.8kg
March 28th - 83.8kg

hmmmm there seems to be a pattern happening and I am not happy about it ! I am really hoping for a decent loss this week - for me that means more than 1kg.

How times have changed.

I have always watched The Biggest Loser but this season is the only one where I haven't watched it while chomping into chips, chocolate and coke ! In previous seasons I never cried at the contestants journey's or I have never had a favourite trainer or I have never been really inspired by anyone on that show. However this season, things have changed more than ever. I love watching the show ( I have to record it and watch it the following day or so because I work at night), I love knowing how they actually feel after a big training session and the mixed emotions that go with a weight loss and lifestyle change journey.

So to be given the chance to do a training session with the trainers and the contestants was a dream come true, it happened at just the right time as it has now given me a much need boost :) I loved being able to share the experience with friends - Lisa, Judy, Raelene, Bec, Chantelle and Alicia. It would have been extra special if some time was actually set aside for photos and signatures with the trainers, but other than that I loved every minute of it <3

                                      Judy and myself were lucky enough to get a photo with Tiff

                                          I was able to get my CC12C tshirt signed by Tiffiny

Look where I'm going TOMORROW ....

                                                
                                                 WOO HOO I am so freaking excited !!!!!

So myself and and some of my other CC12C friends are going - Lisa, Raelene, Judy, Chantelle, Bec and Alicia aswell as some other randoms ! It is being held in Sydney so we L, R, J and myself are flying out first thing in the morning and we can't wait. I am super nervous but totally pumped for this experience. I personally can't wait to meet The Commando as I am sure he is just a pussy cat and not a tiger hee hee. The contestant I was hoping to meet the most was Simon, I think he seems like a lovely bloke who has worked his butt off this season, but now that he has gone I am on the look out for Casey :)

                                                  check out this video of the trainers <3

More than just weight loss.

I have been very fortunate to meet IRL some amazing, caring, friendly and inspirational people since joining the 12WBT. One that I am very thankful for is Raelene, she is such a great motivator and is so freaking funny. I have trained with her several times and she really knows how to push everyone to go harder. Raelene and I did a group training session a little while ago with the gorgeous Lisa Farmer and at one stage we were running against each in intervals, my HR managed to get 160 several times !!!! That's just insane but it was so much fun. Anyway, a few weeks ago Raelene gave me a heaps of clothes that are too big for her now (20kg lost for her baby!) and I am so so so thankful to her. They are all gorgeous pieces of clothes and I love them all <3 Thanks chicky :)


                                       This was taken today (25/3/12) my last weigh in was 83.8kg

This was taken Monday 19/3/12 at 84.3kg

Hmm after looking at these pics more, I really would like the double chin to be gone !

Relay for Life

On March 16th and 17th I particiapted in Relay for Life with some of my local 12wbt crew - CC12C is our name (Casey-Cardinia 12 chicks). It was a fantastic exeperience to be apart of and I thoroughly enjoyed my 24 hours at the event. It was extremley tiring but worth every minute. Our team raised over $3000 to go towards cancer research which is something to be really proud of. We are already registered for next years event !
