This blog tracks my weight loss journey as I participate in a 12 week transformation challenge run by a local gym in Auckland, called Club Physical.

There is a cost of joining this 12 week transformation challenge of $550. Included in the program is:

- 12 weeks unlimited use of the club

- choice of over 300 Group X classes each week.  Group X is group cardio (bikes, aerobics, step, etc)

- Weekly coaching meeting and “waist n weigh”

- Awesome Abs – bite sized focus on abdominals

- Training and Nutrition Diary called “How to Transform your body in 12 weeks”

- Swedish Saunas and showers

- 12 sessions with a personal trainer

- chance to win some great prizes

OK, so the prizes aren’t so great, mostly valued at around $10 – $50.  I am not doing this for the prizes of course, although I am very competitive and want to win.  I am doing this to change my life!  While this is quite a bit of money, by spending it, I know I am committed, as there is no way I will sit back and watch $550 go down the drain for nothing!

I am starting out with a weight of 265 pounds (120 kgs), and my goal is to drop under 200 pounds!  So I have to lose 66 pounds (30kgs) in 12 weeks, which is only 5.5 pounds (2.5 kgs) per week!  I am excited by my weight loss journey, and look forward to sharing with you the final result in 12 weeks time!

This blog will be updated daily throughout the 12 weeks.  I will share my thoughts and feelings, including the ups and downs, each day.  At the end of each week, I will include weekly weigh in information so you can see my progress.  My daily exercise and nutrition will be included as well, so you have a comprehensive look at the whole process!  It is my hope that some of you will be inspired to start making positive changes in your life by reading this blog.

If you wish to contact me, please do so!  The bigger the community of supportive people, the better!

Fat Bird
