2009 - MINTI MUMS GET FIT CHALLENGE - ARE YOU IN LADIES?

by mystikalComment Published at 23:5623:5625 comments25 comments151 Visits151 VisitsReport

2009 is going to be the year Minti mum's get fit! I've heard a lot of you ladies (myself included) complain about their eating habits and pregnancy weight. Well we're going to change that!! Especially after all that yummy, naughty Christmas food!

The challenge begins 1st January, 2009. Anyone wanting to participate can leave their name here with their real weight (be honest ladies) and goal weight.

Using our Minti blogs, each week we will update our progress in weight loss, any struggles we've had or feelings we want to share. This will continue until 1st April, 2009. A good 4 months. Each week we will support the participating members and encourage anybody who is having a bad week! We can make this work with the support group of positive women we have on the forum.

2009 is the year that minti mums are MINTI YUMMY MUMMY'S! We all deserve to feel good about ourselves, to have confidence, to look great and to be who we want to be.

As an extra motivational incentive I will be awarding 3 prizes!

1st Prize - A day spa and massage package

2 runners up - Gift voucher to buy a new pair of jeans to shake that sexy bum!

There will be no cheating because you will be asked to post a current full body photo with 01.01.2009 written on a piece of paper. On the 01.04.09 you will be asked to post the new you, once again a full body photo holding up the date. It will be pretty obvious if someone says they have lost 30 kilos and still looks the same ;-)

GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ATTEND!! You don't have to be in it for competition, you could just be in it to live a healthier year! Or to regain your fitness to play with your kids! Or maybe you have type 2 diabetes like me and need to get fit for your health! Everyone is encouraged, even if you only need/want to lose 5 kilos!

I can't wait to see before and after pictures!!!

P.S (thank you to Winja for recommending the bulletin board xx)

Re: 2009 - MINTI MUMS GET FIT CHALLENGE - ARE YOU IN LADIES?

only a couple of days left!! fiance' is going to buy me a cross trainer on the 15th <3 so until then will just have to do some pretty intense walking lol

That being said don't feel like you have to run out and grab something, I'm only doing it for my diabetes, I need to keep in shape. I won't be winning any prizes, just doing it for myself.

I remember the last time I got down to 60 kilos all I did was cut out soft drink and walk 2 hours 5 days a week.

This sounds like a great idea.  Count me in!  I lost my baby weight within a couple of months of giving birth THEN put it all back on plus some five months later.  Arrrrrgh!

This is a good idea, there is a group on here called

fitness as a parent

, we could use this group instead of starting up another one and we can email the founder of the group to make it a private group.

K have added the people who want to be involved - if you girls know anyone else who is interested then let me know and I'll send them an invite! Harrisonsmummy - We will make it percentage of fat loss like you mentioned so it is fairer. Please let me know of any other suggestions before the 1st xx p.s arna thanks for the inspirational post - everyone is beautiful in their own way but this is something I need to do for myself and maybe some other mums feel the same.

Um, it is a great idea, but please keep in mind that people will convert fat to muscle, so may not loose all that much weight, but will look slimmer.

I'm not in.  I love my body, and while I look thicker around the legs and hips, I'm actually struggling to keep my weight up to the healthy range.

Ladies, no matter what size you are, you are beautiful, as it is your minds that matter more.  Just keep that in mind if you do decide to join.  Also, make sure you have a health professional helping you along as well, and keep to a healthy weight, don't lose more than you should.

Re: 2009 - MINTI MUMS GET FIT CHALLENGE - ARE YOU IN LADIES?

Ooh this is a great idea!! I am so in... I  need motivations again. Havent been to the gym in months. I agree with Rukia. A private group would be better for this. I dont want my full body pic up where everyone can see it. Eww. lol

My starting weight is 70 and i want to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight of 58.

Re: 2009 - MINTI MUMS GET FIT CHALLENGE - ARE YOU IN LADIES?

Oh and just so it is fair, I think we should do it as a percentage of weight lost not kilos.  A person who has say 10-15 kgs to lose is different to someone who has 30-40 kg to lose.

Re: 2009 - MINTI MUMS GET FIT CHALLENGE - ARE YOU IN LADIES?

I will be in it. I have to lose a heap of weight. minne isnt due to baby either. mine is due to my server depression. Last year over 3 months I gained 35kg. I went from a size 12/14 to a 20. My goal this year is to go from being (when I was in hospital 6 weeks ago i was 90KG naked) 90kg but will weigh myself on the 1st to 65kg. thats my goal.

Thanks for posting this goal. I hope a lot of us can be in it. and BTW there is a group run by natz i think it is for us cuddle chicks :) (well thats what my hubby says)
