Shape-Up 2009 general discussion

Good to see you back mate

Cheers Rack mate. Just need to find some of your motivation for the remainding weeks now. One cheat meal a week is my aim and no booooooooooze.

Just keep looking at my status updates mate lol, always have to tell everyone I'm training

I know, that is what I get like. So people can jump all over my arse if I don't ha ha.
 
I don't mention when I have a drink though ha ha but my random status updates and ramblings prove that. Ah well, 7 weeks left, I won't be winning the competition but want to make at least some visible progress which 2lbs a week should do.
 
Cheers fella

Keep at it CL. 7 weeks is a looong time really - short in the scheme of things but heck it's the better part of 50days.

Yeah thanks alot mate. I can make a big difference in that time I know, just got to nail the weekend drinking. If I drink Friday I am wrecked til Sunday, diet wise and cardio wise.
 
I will do it though and hopefully you will see a difference in the photos. I look different with clothes on just hope it is the same with clothes off....might have to employ a young lady to compare ha ha

So we are into Week 6 now Shape-up Soldiers lol

How is everybody doing?  Half way through now.  Firing on all cylinders or anyone struggling a bit with the watching the diet and consistent cardio?

Honestly......
Ive just started! lol

Had a bit of a short term setback. Firing on all cylinders now that i have my very own spin bike for morning cardio, so no more expensive trainers or jogging in the rain or overtrained lower legs, yay

(groovy birthday present i may add!)

79kg and still getting leaner by the week.

I'm doing ok, just doing plenty of cardio, weights and eating as I should and being disappointed by how slow weight loss can be.  Still, in 7 odd weeks time, should be pleased.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH !!!!

Come again, Welsh one?

Didnt quite hear you. . . .

Welshy


RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH !!!!

She's in it to win it 

Wonder what snacks Welshy simply can't resist?  Will have to track her address down and send some presents (because i'm nice you hear, not because I want to sabotage her superb progress!).

Eh?  Do you think your diet might not be quite right maybe?

My motivation is up at the minute - but i did some progress photos a day or two ago and yesterday i cropped all the photos i've done to do a better comparison and can't really see as much change as i feel.

I've had numerous people comment on me looking slimmer in clothes, but i guess being at the high end of bodyfat levels it's going to be a while before i really see any siginificant progress in underwear. I know i'm only about 10lbs down from 280odd and hope to be ~30down and down to maybe 30% bodyfat at the end of the challenge so by then i'm really hoping to see some real difference.
