Week 6: Weigh in

We went to a ball this week. We sat on the top floor of Crown Casino and drank expensive champagne. And we weren’t sucking in our tummies the whole time. We weren’t close to tears before we left because of some crazy self criticism like ‘rib fat’ (Mel maintains “it’s a thing!”) We actually felt…

Challenge #3: The Pool

This week we thought we’d add a different kind of work out to our regime- so we squeezed into Hannah’s old one pieces and went to the local pool! Unfortunately we got there the same time as a football team and it took us a while to get the courage to walk out in our…

Week 3: Weigh in

This week we are both starting to notice the weight loss on ourselves. You would think this would be a good thing, but the unfortunate fact remains – that we are girls… so we are still managing to be critical on ourselves. Repeated statements going round this week are: Hannah: “I’m losing my bum… I…

Week 2: Weigh in

This week we were just as nervous as last week. We both ate quite well and exercised but it’s always worrying stepping on those scales! We also completed our first challenge – the stepper (if you didn’t catch that post see “weekly challenges” in categories!) We faced our usual challenges this week: not drinking with…

Challenge #1: The Stepper

We are taking turns choosing the challenge so it’s fair. This week, it was chosen by Mel. The challenge?…

Week 1: Weigh in

So, week 1 down. We went to the gym a few times this week, did back yard workouts, and other days went for walks. In addition, we have been using the medicine ball to work out while we watch The Biggest Loser. For our food intake, we have been following the recipes and advice from…

The official first weigh in

Well neither of us had weighed ourslves in months and months so we were very scared. And not without reason… while we won’t be sharing the stupidly large numbers that the wii fit put up on our screen, we can tell you our motivation has quadripled!!!   Lucky we went to pump after and had chicken salad…

How it started…

Hi we’re Melanie Gilcrist and Hannah Silberstein! We’ve been friends since highschool and now three years out are living together in a share house. We both put on a fair chunk of weight since school and now we’re in the year of 21st’s and we feel like everyone can notice! We joined the gym a…
