Week 6 Results - only two weigh in's to go!!

Biggest Loser - Miss Magenta

Biggest Loser Team - Early Risers

The Results this week were disappointing, but it is inevitable that we will have one dud week out of 8.  

These result results will do one of two things 

1. motivate you to achieve your goal

2. demotivate you and give you the excuse to switch off!

Much will depend on your attitude and how much you want your goal.  Don't fool yourself or me that you don't really care and "I just can't get into it" really doesn't buy it.  This is a clear case of setting yourself a goal, an achievable goal, and restricting your excesses for just 8 weeks.

By the end of the 8 weeks, if you have not given it your very best you WILL regret it, not because your not as light as you would have liked to have been, but the regret will sit firmly in the "I could have tried harder, I know i could do it really"  The next 10 days are critical and if you train hard, every day and eat well everyday you will still get good results, but there in no room for  "just one glass or just a little bit"  at this late stage every mouthful counts.

Will lifting weights make me bulky?

Lifting heavy weights won't make you look like this (left) without a little steroid assistance.  Most women do not have a high enough level of testosterone and other muscle building hormones to build massive muscles. But lifting weights and other resistance exercises will help you tone and strengthen your muscles, giving you sculpted arms rather than bulky and muscle bound.   So don't be scared when we get the 7 & 10kgs out!

There are spies EVERYWHERE

Just when you think its safe to stand near the ice cream shop......last terms Body Shrink Winner is caught red handed with an ice cream in her hand......when busted she yelled "but its for Harry! I haven't touched any of it"  only the weigh will reveal the truth!

Work baby Work!

Training is fun, hard, challenging, vomit inducing and sometime difficult.  But one thing you must remind yourself is that when its over and the endorphins flood through your body, WOW you feel fantastic, strong and empowered.  The harder you work the greater the rush and the quicker you will see improvements.  Exercise won't get any easier, but you will learn to enjoy pushing yourself and working harder.....furthermore your body will tone up, change shape and you'll walk taller with more agility and confidence.    Need anymore reasons to exercise?  No! didn't think so.

1 down 7 to go!

The first week of any diet and exercise program is the hardest and the easiest.  Hardest because the change of eating and exercise is difficult, but it's easy because your motivation is at its highest.  Be sure to engage yourself at every step of this program.  Talk to your Shrink buddies, and you'll find that everyone is feeling the same and can help keep your motivation high.  But mostly you need to sit down and have a quiet little chat to yourself about your goals and what YOU want to achieve, be honest.  It doesn't matter whether you goal is vanity or health based as long as you know what is motivating you. Its only 7 weeks to go.....such a short period of time so there is no time to loose focus because every week counts.

FOOD IS FUEL NOT COMFORT!

The Difference Between Fat Loss and Weight Loss

Not all of the weight you lose is going to be fat. That’s just the way it is. Some of it will be unwanted water weight, which is mostly a good thing, if not somewhat temporary. Some of it will be built-up fecal matter and “gunk” in the intestines, which is a very good thing. In fact, this gunk may very well be making you frequently ill and slowing down fat loss due to a lack of proper nutrient absorption. The zero carb days & non processed food you eat during SHRINK  will assist with shifting some of this 'gunk'.

Some of your weight loss will almost invariably be muscle mass, which is an undesirable thing. But we try to prevent this by doing resistance training; (weights and your own bodyweight).  The fact is the worst form of weight loss is muscle mass, which is also the most common form of weight loss on most diet plans. Remember that muscle burns calories at rest; therefore the more of it you have the more calories you can burn while you sleep, while you exercise, and while you carry on about your day.

During periods of rapid weight loss it is not uncommon to lose a bit of muscle, but ensuring you eat sufficient protein, a broad spectrum of foods, a nutritional supplement, together with training during your diet, this can be totally avoided and you can often gain muscle.

BRING IT ON!

So far so good ladies.  I am lovin' what i'm seeing, lots of effort, swearing and banter.  Everyone is showing great levels of determination and spirit...keep it up.  Another great sunrise at Christiansen Park this morning. 

SHRINK Starts tomorrow!

NO more junk food!

I know that you are all very excited that Shrink Term 4 is starting tomorrow.  I hope you've had a lovely holiday and are rested because you are going to need strength and determination to get through the next 8 weeks.  No more junk food!  Do not enter into this program thinking you can cruise through it;We are going to work hard to shift the winter blubber so kiss your fat arse goodbye!
