Winning feels great, still on cloud nine

The week of waiting is finally over. Was spoilt by my hairdresser this afternoon to a lovely new hairdo and sporting my size 40 slacks off we went to the prize giving of the Weight Loss Challenge. When Big Dave walked in to attend the prize giving it really made my day. We just couldn't have gone ahead without him. When the certificates were being handed out eventually my name was called. There were still a lot of certificates left in the pile on the table, so after receiving my cash prize for the title of The Most Centimetres Lost I then settled down to see who the winners of the competition were. Then Dave was called for 3rd place. Like wow, if Dave was 3rd then who of the other competitors have surprized us all and taken the overall title of the Weight Loss Challenge. Still feeling very chuffed with my title of Biggest Centimetre Loser the 2nd place was announced. I had a feeling that Imran would sneak in somehow. And then it happened, you could have knocked me over, could this really be, that I had actually won the Biggest Loser title? All my hard work had paid off, wow, thank you to everybody who helped make this happen, Carol for your fantastic coaching, Big Dave for challenging me, Vishana for your e-mail support, for the encouraging compliments from the other competitors and of course Herbalife for the wealth of knowledge that I have left the competition with. A very big thank you for the prizes. Total weight lost 14.1 kg and 96 cm in 12 weeks = 13.8% of body weight lost.

How I did it?

The Weightloss Challenge is a 12 week program run by Herbalife with Carol Gore being our Personal Weight Loss Coach. Already a member of Vitality Healthy Foods, Run Walk for Life, together with a wealth of knowledge from Weighless and Weight Watchers, I started this new journey in my life.

Two weeks into the challenge I joined the Virgin Active Get Fit Challenge 2010.

The big reveal ... Before and After

Well today was the last day for the Weightloss challenge. How the weeks have flown by, it almost seems as though we started just a week or two ago. It was a very exciting day for us all, we had measurements taken and posed for our after photos. Everybody looked absolutely stunning. I was very excited to have had another huge weightloss and even more excited about my centimetre loss. I cannot believe how well I have done during the challenge. So the resistance training has really paid off. I am totally amaized. Only thing is, because the competition is based on percentages we will not know who the overall winner is until the prize giving next Friday when the announcement will be made, so with baited breath we WAIT!

Won the "Biggest Loser" title again this week

Well, well, what can I say! Was the Biggest Loser this week again. Although this weight loss was over a 2 week period I am very pleased with my efforts paying off. Worked harder at the weights and drank much more water than I have been drinking in the past. Finding it easier to say "no" to cheats. One more week to go for the grand finale. These eleven weeks have definately been a challenge for me. But looking back, I could have put more effort into it. But am happy with the results so far, I have almost reached the goal that I have for myself.

This weeks Biggest Loser

WooHoo, was the Biggest Loser this week. Had a great loss of 1.7 kgs. It was my turn to dip into the lucky dip packet at the Weightloss Challenge today. Dedicated my week to working harder on exercise sessions and longer walks, added swimming and aqua to my exercise routine.
