Hi everyone..
Haven't managed to get to the gym all week, dp getting home from work late then being on call meant i didn't really have time so annoyed.. although i did dance to youtube all week with my son. Nothing like a bit of black eyed peas to start the day. hehe.
I haven't been eating the best either, went to a baby shower and had take away a couple of times which didnt help.
Feel totally fattish today!
Current weight 70.5 (nothing lost, nothing gained)
This week i will gym 3-4 times and eat healthily! and my goal is to be even 70kgs.

Organicem.. Well done fitting into old jeans. Gotta love that! Maybe you could try rice crackers or something or when you feel a craving coming or have one small piece and eat it slowly. dont deprive yourself! just enjoy and savor the flavor. oh im not helping am i? I also am loving the mission wraps..
Woo im keen for a good week. and ill be 500g lighter

Hi Mama2
Am definately in need of comfort food and not really motivated atm because I don't feel very fat and I have noone to impress. Especially since my XH told me today that he definately has no feelings for me anymore.

Good luck with the new week. Keep posting!!

I will join you, I want to loose 20kg but 10 is a great start.

Organicem - oh you poor thing, I am sure that wasn't very nice to hear especially with such a young baby. But hey what better way to show him what he is missing then to loose those 10kg and look HOT HOT HOT

Hi guys,

Do you mind if I join in? I've got 5kg to lose after having DS 8 months ago (I've lost 7 already, but a bit stuck now). I go to the gym once a week and don't have time to exercise apart from that due to work. I've been doing 1 set of 15 pushups a day just to do something..... LOL

I'm stuck doing a lot of comfort eating at the moment too.

Re chocolate cravings - I have been trying to have either 80% cocoa chocolate, which is REALLY hard to OD on, or a hot chocolate made with cocoa, half tsp of sugar and low fat milk.

I'm trying hard to avoid buying bad stuff - and have told DH no more buying me icecream (it's so sweet that he does though!!!!!)

GL everyone.

What a *****....

As charming as that was, hand over the chocolate! I actually gave up chocolate for 3 months once.. Then my sister gave me some of those cadbury desserts ones. OMG! *dies of joygasm*

Will jump on the wiifit for my daily body test soon, just as soon as this extra 3kgs lets me put her down without too much screaming.

all I need from there is motivation... a little more than is required to go get the last of that chocolate out of the cupboard.. Darn it.

ETA: tried putting her down.. She was sleeping soundly in my lap... *sigh* Attack of the superglue baby.

I weighed myself and I haven't lost weight and maybe I have even put on half a kg

Am trying to convince myself I don't need chocolate (btw my favourite is dark chocolate but i also love cakes, slice, cheesecake).

So I weigh 75kg and I want to weigh 65kg.

Default *raises hand* me too.

i have just over 10kg to lose, so i'm up for this too.

since it's sunday, my weigh in was 83.2 this morning.

i gotta do the tape measure thing i think as i'm pretty much stuck on the 83ish even though my jeans feel more comfortable (and even baggy).

i'm one of those freaks who dont crave chocolate, my downfall is chicken. the greasier looking the better (curse you colonel sanders!) -- my biggest sin for the week, was a chicken kebab... i knew i should only have half, but it was so yummy

hope everyone else wasn't as bad with will power this week as i was!

mmm- I have a lighter option for chicken that nearly fools the taste buds.

Get chicken legs and pull the skin right down (you can take it off if you like).

Make crumbs with either breadcrumbs or polenta, vegie salt, mediterranien (sp?) herbs, freshly ground pepper and you can add parmesean cheese if you want.

Do the crumbing process as usual and put the chicken legs in a baking dish and bake for 1 hour.

I found I only need to add a little oil (rice bran is best) to the dish if the skin is completely removed.

Once cooked make sure you cut off any skin that hasn't shrivelled to nothing.

As I said this is lighter, still greasy but not too much but very very tasty!!
