Rachy87 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 So what happens when you tell the company's health and fitness consultant that you have this silly idea about joining a gym?Some how you wake up 2 days later to discover you've agreed to an 8 week challenge to see who can lose the most body weight percentage in that time. Emp & I have agreed to a friendly competition to see how can lose the biggest % of body weight from Tue 26th Aug to Tue 21st Oct.Here in Australia we have 4-5 months until summer and we both want to lose a couple of dress sizes before we strut our stuff down at the beach (haha I haven't told Emp yet about the fun day down the beach we are going to have to celebrate).Currently on the table for this challenge is bragging rights. Next Tue we will update with the following: Rachy87:Weight: 109.7kgWaist: 93cmHips: 115cm emp1786:Weight: 95.3kgWaist: 97.5cmHips: 117.5cm Then every following Tue we will update you with where we both are and I'll work out the % lost so far (based on our starting weight). Rules:This weight loss will be down the old fashion way - healthy eating and work outs. No diet pills, shakes, crazy fads and all those other nasties banned by the rebellion. We are going to keep each other accountable through contact through our work IM, text, FB and fortnightly health checks held at my work site.Plus emp is going to be kicking my butt through PT sessions on Saturday mornings but I'm hoping that this is the kick (lol) start I need. She is also going to help me out with a program for the rest of the week and helping me with the food side of things as well. She is a good lass like that So guys join the awesome Team Rachy or join Team Emp if you want to or simply join Team Health and cheer us both on Quote Level X - Human RangerStr: X ~ Dex: X ~ Sta: X ~ Con: X ~ Wis: X ~ Cha: XRachy87 - Going to level up my way, watch this space!Not all who wander are lost Link to comment

emp1786 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Ok now its feeling real. Next weigh in tomorrow AM. Tense times. Whilst my exercise habits have been pretty good, Food Food FOOD and some great liquid calories over the weekend may bring about my demise in week one. All up I need to lose around 10kgs to beat out rachy87 so fingers cross we see some week one progress and she hasnt taken too much of a lead. #TeamEMP Quote 9%9% Start: 95.3kg Goal: 70kg Link to comment

emp1786 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Haha yes. Much willpower and planning must be shown to achieve better results next week. My official game plan for this week- Daily workouts to counteract weekend fun.....- No more nutella.... just because theres a breakfast add promoting it to kids and its gluten free does not mean it is good for my waistline!- Resist the urge of jamie oliver goodies!

Barfly Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Just because something is gluten free doesn't mean it's good for you. Know what else is gluten free?

emp1786 Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Haha love that barfly. And I am fully aware of the not-so goodness! I am feeling a new lease on this whole challenge, you know, one of those ephiphanies where you realise truly why you are doing this. Not going into the micro details of the whole thing, but there has been a slight shift in perspective this week. Bring it on rachy87 1 Quote 9%9% Start: 95.3kg Goal: 70kg Link to comment
Rachy87 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Sorry for the week 5 update being delayed. Between the public holiday here and the 2 of us being unable to do a weigh in together it's been a bit all over the place. Rachy: -2.19%Emp: -1.26% Only 2.5 weeks to go, who will win? It's a tough one to pick, both competitors have been up and down in a general dowards direction.Emp is on a GF and alcohol free diet now - will it give her the advantage?Rachy's b'day is coming up will she resist the bad food & alcohol? If not will she work hard to make up for it? Who's team are you on? #TeamRachy Quote Level X - Human RangerStr: X ~ Dex: X ~ Sta: X ~ Con: X ~ Wis: X ~ Cha: XRachy87 - Going to level up my way, watch this space!Not all who wander are lost Link to comment
emp1786 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Is it odd that I am on both teams???? Tomorrow is weigh in day and I am really hoping that we both hit our wanted milestones. I am really hoping to crack the 2% mark this week and more importantly, STAY THERE Stay Tuned team. Quote 9%9% Start: 95.3kg Goal: 70kg Link to comment
Rachy87 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 It's not weird Emp, it's the magical feeling one gets when they're on the side of the greater good. We're in this together not against each other Well week 6 results are in:Rachy: -2.55%Emp: -1.57% 2 weeks until final weigh in!Can emp activate beast mode and get ahead?Will Rachy's b'day party be her downfall?Find out next week!! #TeamRachy 1 Quote Level X - Human RangerStr: X ~ Dex: X ~ Sta: X ~ Con: X ~ Wis: X ~ Cha: XRachy87 - Going to level up my way, watch this space!Not all who wander are lost Link to comment

emp1786 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 A) I cant believe we are already this close to the end. This little competition has absolutely flown by! I would like to thank rachy87's birthday for giving me half a chance at winning this thing!!! Hopefully its completely neck and neck for a nail biting finish next week! Exercise has been solid this week, but eating needs to go on health lock down to really pull out a big number for the finale! Wish me luck! Quote 9%9% Start: 95.3kg Goal: 70kg Link to comment
Rachy87 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 And the winner is...... EMP!!!! Losing at total of 1.89% body weight!Well done! Rachy wasn't far behind with 1.28% Let's face it, we're both winners here losing 3.2kgs between us.
