WEEK ONE

Your Offline ‘Homework’

As mentioned during our first lesson for the week – you have to know this very basic principle and equation to losing fat and weight

Weight loss = Caloric Intake < Caloric Expenditure

What do you have to do now?

  • Increase your caloric expenditure – Aim for 150 minutes of exercise per week. Climb 5 Storey of stairs by end of week.
  • Lower your caloric intake – Eat, but eat lesser. Do not eat to the point that you’re full. Lower your food intake this and next week by 10%. Or you can even request for a lesser portion when ordering your meals.

Your Online  ‘Homework’

For any kind of intervention that is related to fitness, there are always the physical and mental angles that we should work on.

For this week, I need you to fill up the bottom portion of this blog post (Speak Your Mind Tell us what you’re thinking)

Write down the reasons why you want to achieve your goal, even if it’s simply wanting to look good in time for the festive season or even for your kids/family.

Studies have shown that keeping a log is a great way to maintain a consistent workout plan. Keeping a log that your friends can see is an excellent motivator to stick to your routine. Knowing that you are going to be accountable will get you off the couch on those days when motivation wanes. You will look forward to finishing your workout and showing off your progress on this page.

Remembering why you’re doing what you’re doing makes it easier to face any obstacles ahead.

Here’s some guidelines.

A) What are your fitness goal?
B) What are the reasons why you want to achieve your goals?
C) How do you intend to achieve it?
D) Write what you feel about your Fitness coaches and teammates.
(E) Whenever you complete a physical activity of at least 10 minutes, TELL US HERE! :) Just come back and keep adding to the comments. We would love to hear from you. Inspire us!

    I recorded my physical activities for the week in my book/notes, and make sure that i have clocked at least 150 mins a week. Some of things I did this week
    - Dropped one train station before office, then I walked about 15 mins to work from train station almost every day
    - Did lots of walking and standing.
    - Got a free 1 month trial at California and attending the class on Sat
    - I estimated that i clocked about 300 mins this week alone! :)

    Food wise, I switched to those choices with lower calories. I downloaded the “Diet Tracker” from HPB and also one called “FatSecret” both showing me the estimate calories. Just to give myself an idea what food has lower calories.

    I weighed myself today, think I lost close to 1 Kg this week. (Hopefully not water lost :) ) I am not sure if it is right, but I reward myself abit today for the whole week’s effort. I drank 250ml of Coke Zero (stated there 0 calories and 0 fats).

    To those out there, it is possible, you just have to believe and work on it!

    See you all at the classes again!

    I hope to lose 5 kg after this programme. My wedding is in November, and i believe everyone, including me wishes to look their best on their wedding day. In fact, i have started an exercise regime since September 2009. Along with my husband, we have each lost 10 kg up till today. However, our weight stopped dropping since June this year. Right now, we’re merely maintaining and we’re scared everyday for fear of putting the weight back on. Right now, We exercise about 5 times a week. We either use the cross trainer at the gym, or brisk walk in the neighbourhood or climb to the 13th floor 4 times. I guess we really have to push ourselves harder in order to take our fitness levels to a whole new level.
    Our fitness coaches are inspiring and energetic! I really appreciate their choice of music to get us going.

  50. Ivy Lim (east coast) says:

    Hi I am from east coast GRC, and we just had our exercise session with Lisa and Mariam today at Changi Simei CC – great workout! I hope there would be some weights training within these 12 weeks too :)

    A) What are your fitness goal?
    I used to want to lose 10kg in 12 weeks but now I think 6 kilos is more realistic, ideally 8-10 kilos :)

    B) What are the reasons why you want to achieve your goals?
    I come from an obese family and have witness obesity’s effects on a person’s health and the impact to the family. I have gained almost 25 kilos in 10 years and I can no longer look at myself in the mirror. I started by encouraging my sister to exercise and now her strong determination has brought her ahead of me. Now, my sister gives me a lot of motivation and momentum to continue.

    My goal is to live healthily and strong, to be able to do what I like, e.g. scuba diving until I am old and I need a healthy body to do that. I realised health cannot be taken for granted. Rather than a goal, the process of working towards a healthy life is very enriching and I know that if I look at where I was, I would never regret it. :)

    C) How do you intend to achieve it?

    I try to engage in more physical activities, go to the gym a little more often, and going out with friends to exercise rather than eat. rather than pushing to the extreme, I believe and I hope that little steps can contribute to a greater effort. As long as I dont give up.

    I also participate in runs to keep myself active, and from 5km to 10km and I have signed up for the Standard Chartered 21km marathon at December to challenge myself and give myself the motivation to train for it, so that I wont die on 6 December ;p

    D) Write what you feel about your Fitness coaches and teammates.

    Lisa and Mariam are super cool gals and I have confidence they can help East Coast GRC with our goals!

    My own team mates, I have 100% confidence they will do very well in the 12 week programme, and I can see that the East Coast GRC team is very motivated to exercise and benefit from the programme.

    Everybody JIA YOU! :)

Greeting from team HULK (Sembawang GRC) End of the 1st wk and beginning of the 2nd … C.M (coach mad) want us to do extra 50mins of exercises for this wk …that’s 150 + 50 = 200mins. Well since the 1st wk i’ve been walking daily from yishun to sun plaza for my low cal meal and back again to yishun, that’s 60mins per day … 60 x 5 = 300mins (brisk walking) plus 2 x 45 = 90mins (aerobics)… that’s 390mins per wk … keep it coming, C.M :P wohahahahahaaha !!! … heard that some Gxers have knee problem and find climbing up stairs a difficult n painful task … i will encourage all of u to do the same exercise like myself … walk from your home to the place for your low cal meal and back … after all walking is a form of low impact exercise which will not hurt your knee … stay healthy and have fun for the coming wk ya :) CHEERS !!!

  95. Liyan says:

    A) My final objective – to lose at least 5 kg by the end of the LTW challenge and to MAINTAIN the rate of weight loss for the rest of the year! As for my fitness level, I hope to regain back my level of fitness which I had before I was drowning in work – so that I will be back to trekking and jogging on a regular basis.

    B) My reasons for achieving my goal -
    Firstly, I understand the importance of maintaining a healthy body and to keep fit.
    Secondly, I would like to prove to my family and my loved ones that I CAN lose weight.
    Thirdly, I would like to be at my best at the happiest day(s) of my life.

    C) 1) To increase the frequency of exercise in a week (target to increase it to at least 3 times a week.)
    2) To steadily increase the intensity of exercise once I feel myself beginning to get used to each stage of exercise.
    3) To motivate my parents to join me in my exercise routine – great company makes for a great workout.
    4) To immediately shut out all excuses that could prevent me from continuing with my current exercise regime and achieving my fitness goal.

    D) Zhywee is a great coach who makes the workout so fun and groovy! I thought I was in a hip-hop class rather than exercising. It is really a great approach and takes the pain out of exercise. I find it easier to follow her rhythm and pace according to the music. Groove on!!!
    Faz is also encouraging as a coach. Her style is a little different but her willpower to keep on going is deserving of applause. Kudos for the hard work.
    My team mates at Ulu Pandan CC are a nice bunch and together, we will hopefully work together to achieve our goals! WHOOOSSSHHHH…

    (E) I recently resurrected my full run from my home to Bukit Batok Nature Reserve complete with the tedious task of running the 5 flights of steps up to the satellite station. I didn’t like the idea of running up 5 storeys in an enclosed building so this was the substitute. I must say that the exercise sessions must have strengthened my leg muscles because I didn’t feel as lethargic after my run anymore.
    Time to increase the tempo and intensity! :)
    Thanks LTW and TFG.

  96. Doreen says:

  101. Jit, West Coast CC says:

    Hi,

    Its an almost an accident that I am in LTW2. I failed to reduce & control my weight. A very naughty child who only like to climb up. Who cannot come down. At one time I was discouraged and almost believed I cannot reduce. But always had a dream to trim down Tomorrow. Tomorrow never seem to come.
    My job added a hand full of straws after the last one. The long & odd hours, stress, the lonely traveler, idiot box culture, driving way to relax & the TECHNOLOGY that allows only the brain & finger tips to do all the work, are habits & life style which helped me to gain only weight and lose almost everything else. Kudos to NHB & my National Leaders who thought of people like ME and organised “Lose To Win 2″. Hurray! We are saved! Tomorrow is here! The Cholesterol & the weight will reduce along with the aches & pains. I’ll be healthy & my family will be happy, our Nation will excel.

    Now that I am here there is mo turning back. Slowly but surely & in a healthy way I’ll reduce a step at a time to my ideal weight of about 70kg. It will be a long journey of 30 months at least. Could be two Lose to Win program. But it will happen. I’ll reduce and remain and never gain – weight.

    Thanks to all who will be walking with me in this journey. My family, parents, friends, neighbors, colleagues, coaches, trainers, TFG, NHB & LTW peers all has a part to play. You all will help me to achieve my DESTINY.

    A) What are your fitness goal?
    My fitness goal is to reduce my weight from 103kg to 90kg. 13kg in 12+ weeks. I CAN DO IT!
    B) What are the reasons why you want to achieve your goals?
    I want to stay out of RISK zone. Keep fit & Healthy. Love my heart to love my sweetheart.
    C) How do you intend to achieve it?
    I cut down my portions of my meals.
    No fried food – Chicken Wings & Nuggets & Curry Puffs are OUT.
    Also No Coke/Pepsi/MacD/KFC…Chocolate/Ice creams/Muruku/Roti Prata….
    Have a fruit every day along with move veggie & lesser meat & rice.
    Eat slow, chew food while telling myself I am full. its enough for me.
    Share food with friends & family. Plus no picking on left-overs.
    Drink lots of water through the day. Specially before food. Green Tea after food.

    D) Write what you feel about your Fitness coaches and teammates.
    Our coaches are jovial, kind, friendly, caring & supportive.
    They provide motivation, mental strength.
    Help to build up confidence & believe I also CAN REDUCE.

    (E) Whenever you complete a physical activity of at least 10 minutes,
    4 days a week mornings brisk walk for 30 min 6:30am-7:00am.
    4 days a week travel to work Clementi to Toa Payoh by BMW (Bus-MRT-Walk)

    Feel delight cos I’ve lost 3 kg since started the program. Initially, my goal was to lose 5 kg. Hope to lose another 8-10 kg.

    To stay healthy and look presentable

    C) How do you intend to achieve it?
    Due to work commitment, try… try…. try….. to attend all the exercise sessions. Walk from Jurong East to Bukit Batok to attend the sessions (abt 35 mins), 40 mins of brisk walk or do LTW exercise at home, Go Green instead of driving, 10 mins to MRT station when going to city or supermart. Of course, couple with a sensible diet and journals. Lastly, Determination!!

    D) Write what you feel about your Fitness coaches and teammates.
    Coach Jessica has been very encouraging and motivating during the session. Even though she has an injury during one of sessions, she still continued her coaching very professionally. Thanks to sweet lady, Jessica, co-trainers and all the buddies in BB for the enjoyable sessions though it is exhausting,

    The kick boxing session was good!!I loved it..It reminded me of Body Combat from Les Mills..The trainers well i need not say much..As usual,they are the BEST!!!!

    Then the next day,i jog for 40 min followed by 100 squats..Well the 200min per week i think should be attainable..
    As for my weight, it seems to be the same..but i realised my fitness level is slowly increasing..As i am able to do some workout before i break my fast..

  108. San San says:

    Hi, I am from Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC and getting into the third week of LTW.

    To loss wieght is really not easy. We have to watch what we eat, count the kcal intake and exercise at least 200 mins. But all this obstacle is “nothing”.

    I alway ask myself can I lose 10kg in 3 months!! So far I’ve droped 2kg. I believe I can do more than that. Trying to be selective with what i eat and making a conscious effort to control my diet.

    The TGF coaches are great!! THUMB UP to them ! The workout exercise is getting more high intensity. However, all the team members enjoy it. Hope we will work hard together to achieve our goals.

    Everyday I will walk about 1km from MRT to home, climbing stairs and 20 mins of sketching exercise at home.

    I will be joining my colleagues for a walk and jog session every Wed organized by my company.

  109. Uma says:

    So far I have reduced 2 kgs.. hoping to reduce another 8-9 Kgs in the next 9 weeks. Started recording my food intake to monitor & control. Walking daily for 30 mins in the morning and doing some fun fit excersises for 15 mins in the evening.

    Thanks to HPB for organising this LTW Challenge and Team Fitness Guru for your support.

  132. Heather Lee says:

    Dear all,

    Everyone have gone through the Assessment 2, some healthy tips for your reference

    Healthy Tip 1:

    In case your weight is stuck, try increasing the amount of time you exercise, the intensity of your exercise, or changing your exercise routine.

    If you walk a lot, try jogging, swimming or cycling. If you normally exercise for 30 minutes, increase it by an additional 15-20 minutes. You can also try doing short bursts of intense exercises for one to two minutes followed by small rest periods.

    Healthy Tip 2

    When you have decided to make a good habit stick. Ensure you repeat the habit activity at least 3 times a week for the next 4-5 weeks.

    Establishing a good habit like brushing your teeth two times a day or waking up early morning to exercise require consistency to make it stick. The more consistent you are, the easier it will be to stick to the good habit. Make sure there are no disruptions from the schedule.

    Healthy Tip 3

    Watching TV or reading books while eating is a bad habit. It tunes out the brain’s messages of satiety so you end up eating more than you should.

    You often don’t even register the sensation of taste or the act of chewing and swallowing. This also leads to your brain craving for more intense flavors in an attempt to experience the sensation of taste, and you end up eating junk foods like candy, cake or chips. Both the French and Japanese cultures believe that it’s rude to do anything when you are eating.

    Lastly, all the best to your last assessment.

    Because of Lose to Win Program there is lot of changes in my life style.

    1.Before start this program I can climb only until 5th storey some more I can’t able to breath well so immediately I use my inhaler. But now I climb until 24th storey even I no feel shortness of breath and don’t have knee pain.

    2.Before to reach office from marina bay MRT I usually wait for my office transport but now instead of get down in Marina MRT I get down in Raffles MRT and walk to my office (15mnts walk)

    3.Before when ever I go play ground with my kids used to sit and watch them but now when they play I do exercise, walk around the play ground and play with them.

    4.Before to do exercise I always tell no time. But now I learn to keep the schedule to do exercise daily. ( to reach 250mnts of exercise per week)

    So now I feel that already I win in this program.

    Thanks a lot for HPB, TFG and LTW organizers.

  138. Fazlin says:

    Hi everybody,

    Other than doing my routine exercise like climbing steps (50 storeys), brisk walk, play badminton, attenting the workout at the CC, etc…I have added jogging which I hate doing it before into my routine exercise list…thanks to my colleague Tracy who encourages me to try it and I begin to love it now.

    I am still loosing weight and still aiming to achieve my idle weight…

    Keep up you guys and don’t give up….
