Thanks for all the comments about my svelte figure, it sure was nice of you all. As you can see I am not Harry Houdini, I was trapped in my PTU.
However, the vet was just reminding me that I should be 5.5 kg, not 6 and we thought that 6 months to drop 10% was a good goal.
Mum says thanks to the mums who thought they might join in with her, too. She is too much of a lady to talk about her or anyones weight on here, but she has come up with a plan.
She has pulled out the scales and measured up. Every Friday will be time for Fit Club, and she will tell you if the scales have gone down, and pass on any tips or words of wisdom. The goal is to drop 10% by April. That's six months and totally doable.
So in honour of starting, she is going to head out into the sunshines and go for a walk!
Have a lovely weekend everybuddy!!

What a great plan! I don't need to lose, but I sure could do with some fitness...I'll walk 3-4 times a week in solidarity!
ReplyDeleteWe know you and your Mom can make it!
ReplyDeleteHey Pops! As a mancat of a sprightly 7.08kg who has been known in the past to tickle the 8kg marker, I understand the challenges you are facing! It's totally worth it though. I am a bouncy table jumper now, when I always used to go via the chair. The Cat Dancer is a really good toy to get a tabby cat racing around with not a lot of effort from a mum, so I get my exercise time in when mum is watching tv.
ReplyDeleteOur mum says that Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred dvd is a good way to get things a moving, if you're ok with feeling like you're being tortured and will never breathe again especially at the beginning. After 3 months of pre-wedding booty shaking, mum has tightened up the bingo wings!
Good luck to you Poppy Q. The Woman needs to loose a whole lot of weight so I think she'll have to work a bit harder than anyone else in the house!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, beautiful Poppy and lovely Mom=we know you ladies can do it, we are all cheering for you!!...Our Mommy is thin, she eats lots of protein and she eats nuts as snacks a lot too; exercise is so important to health, so she will exercise a little more than usual and think of you!...Hang in there and happy Friday, sweet friends...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteYour Mom has a great attitude! We look forward to Friday Fit Club posts! xoox
ReplyDeleteCool, we will keep checking you every Friday.. Beware !!! : )
ReplyDeleteActually, my weight is 6.4 kg but my doctor said I'm purrfect, may be because my breed can weight more so I don't need to diet but my mom still stuck to limiting my food..No meat in the morning because the doctor said Meat in the morning can give me Cat Diabetic in the future.
My morning meal is just dried food and the dinner is the fine meat + dried food.
And my mom keep me exercise every night by playing ball with me ( She throw and I have to run to catch the ball ) or play mousy ( my dad attached string at mouse's tail and mom will drag it, and I run to catch it )
I don't think you are all that overweight, Poppy! I am underweight - I weigh just a hair less than 6 lbs. (not kg), but I am a very little cat.
ReplyDeleteI think the Fit Club is a great idea! Even if you don't need to lose weight, it can serve as a reminder to do something healthy - exercise or eat right. My human doesn't need to lose weight and she exercises already, but she could sure eat a lot better than she does!
Sounds like a good plan for you and Mom, we'll cheer you on PoppyQ!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea Poppy. Our Mum could do with shifting a few punds too. We will cheer you on every step f the way!
ReplyDeleteGreat plan!! We could all use a little slimming down over here!
ReplyDeleteThe PM has that Jillian DVD that FF mentioned. Good if you want someone to kick your bum a little bit!
Good luck to you both! Derry and our mom need to lose weight...in the mom's case, oh, about 20% of her current weight! In her defense, she's hypo-thryoid now (underactive) and is trying to sort out proper med dose. The weight has nothing to do with all the carbs and sweets she eats, she swears!
ReplyDeleteWe think you are beautiful just the way you are. We know you are healthy and fit. But if you want to loose a bit, we'll join in too.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the fit club being held ~ can we send our mom?
ReplyDeleteGood for your mum! Spring is a great time to get out and walk.
ReplyDeleteMy family said WHAT when I said I had joined Poppy Q's Friday Fit club.
ReplyDeleteThey don;t like me being on a diet as they say they don't want to eat diet food. It was quite the revolt!
So I'm gonna need Friday Fit club.
Walk did you say - oh my!
Will start after the strawberry fair as they have cream & ice cream at the fair....
Love Leanne
I love seeing your little paw there.
ReplyDeleteMom said she and I will try this too....Kassey
ReplyDeleteGuess what - M read about your having to lose weight and now she thinks I'm a little too heafty too. Now I'm getting my food rationed. YIKES! She thinks I'm about 2 pounds overweight. Don't understand oomans at all - I'm just fattening up for the cold winter ahead.
