BDW Biggest Loser ~ Season 9!

[Cindy*]

bikegirl, I think everyone is just following their own plan. I am simply trying to watch what I eat and exercise regularly. Actually, I am just trying to go back to my habits from before I started dating FI, funny enough.

I'm in for season 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eliana]

ok girls, so I'M SO EXCITEDDD I found this on time!!!! last season I was late and I'm so happy to be able to participate this time....

I'm going to follow the diet that I've attached to this email (only first week is detailed - I will add every week as this is a plan put together by a nutritionist week by week). I will also go to the gym 3 times a week.

Good luck to all of youuu and let me know if you have any questions regarding the attached diet. GROUP HUG FOR ALL OF YOU AND LET'S DO TI!!!

Hey Bikegirl,

As Cindy said, I think most people will be doing whatever works for them, including eating better and exercising more. Perhaps we should get our season 8 winner LeAnne to give us some tips!

And thanks to Elifrigo for posting that diet -- I haven't had a chance to download it yet since I'm at work, but I like that it's nutritionist approved! I feel like we should add a disclaimer on the first page about promoting healthy ways to lose weight... I don't want anyone to go to extremes or damage their bodies. It's important to be healthy first!

Hot yoga is awesome! I just signed up for unlimited classes for the next 4 months. I also find that cutting processed carbs really works for me -- especially sugar, white bread, white rice, white pasta, etc.

can't wait for friday so we can (officially) begin!

Thanks for sharing guys! I was just curious what everyone else is going to be doing.

 

I'm going to cut down on carbs, too as that has worked for me in the past. nsbride2010, i like the idea of hot yoga! a friend has been trying to get me to go, so this is a good push.

 

I'm not very good at following exercise even though I know P90X would work if I followed through. I think I'm going to pull out the bicycle and bike to places instead of taking the TTC or getting the FI to drive. I remember I did that all summer one year and lost some weight without even realizing!

Mmmmm I love hot yoga- but unfortunately, cannot afford it right now! Boo. Oh well- just have to hit the gym and continue running (which I'm NOT having fun doing, by the way!)

I sat down this weekend and came up with a workout calendar for the next month. I figure I can stick it on my fridge so that I know each day what I should do. If I have it in writing, I'll feel guilty if I don't do it.

 

I'm also using the LoseIt iPhone app to help keep track of calories and exercise. I'm trying to cut down on carbs (but not cut out totally). I'm one of those people who would rather have bread/chips/etc instead of sweets, so I need to cut back on how many carbs I am eating.
