10kg to lose, anyone want to join me?

[~Kaz~]

mmm...the wraps sound healthy and delish!! Are they like mountain bread at all? How do you b'feed and not eat carbs??? Sounds impossible. How are you going with the five small meals a day so far?

I think the last 5kg is always the most stubborn!

I went for a walk today but it was only a quick one. Should be within my points for today too.

It is impossible, for me anyway. I tried to cut them out last time andlast two days i have since figured its probably not exactly a healthy thing to try.

Will end up with having 3 small ,eals, one large and a snack by end of today.

Dinner is Chicken Tikka Masala: i use chicken bok choy, onion and capsisum. Cook with almost whole jar of sharwoods curry paste and add remainder of jar 5 mins before serving. I cook it with cream or just with water if trying to aviod greasy or fatty foods. ATM am not avioding fats though.

count me in i need to lose 45kg but 10 kg is a great start for me

Can I join in now I have had my bubba? I want to get to about 65kgs and am currently 81kgs (I honestly have no idea where I am hiding about 15 of them.. I don't *look* too 'overweight' and apparently 60kgs is ideal for my height and build).

Hopefully the bfing will help but I will be doing it mainly through exercise because I don't want to risk my milk supply with anything too restrictive food wise. Gonna hit the wiifit and active hard tomorrow now my lochia rubra is over too.

So - target is 16kgs! Method is exercise!

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

[Tish]

66.4kg this morning, but that was after brekky. (aim to get as close to 60kg as I can! would be happy with 61).

I've just had myself banned for a week because I desperately need to get some work done LOL see you next Sunday!!

PS I'm so glad MasterChef is finishing tonight!! I reckon I'm having heaps more late night snacks than usual because all the yummy food on tv is making me hungry LOL

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.

[organicem]

Welcome Clare, thanks and what a great idea Lets do it!!

Welcome Tish, hope we can encourage you.

Can I join ya girls???

Last weigh in was when DS was 6 weeks, at 84kg. We're now three weeks later and I've no idea what I weigh as I don't own scales....Is it cool if I just measure myself? (It's easier to see results in losing cm's than kg's ). I have a stubborn mummy tummy to boot!!!!! Grrr.

I eat weetbix for breakfast, soup or a tuna salad sandwich for lunch and usually steamed vegies and baked fish for dinner and a single tub of light yoghurt for desert...I drink water alot....I would have to say my weakness is for the ocassional alcoholic beverage (with 2 under 2 do ya blame me ), and not making the best food selections when dining out at restruants.

I do RPM about 5 times a week and Body Pump once a week.

I am losing weight in the face, legs and arms but my belly just won't shift! I'm a personal trainer and a fitness instructor and have vowed not to go back and instruct again till I look the part!!

[ladybird11]

Hey, where has this thread gone ladies??

Tell me your progress!

So when DS was 6 wks I weighed 84 kg.
When he was 10 wks I was 82 kg.
At 13.5 wks I am 76.2 kg (so precise, but I bought scales ).

So a loss of 7.8 kg in 7.5 weeks. I'm happy!

I've signed up to Calorie King and limit myself to 1400 cals each day, I do one of the cardio Les mills classes each day (usually Attack, RPM or Jam, but today did Combat) and don't eat back all the calories I burn, maybe eat back only half of them.

Here is hoping a Polar sports watch arrives under the Xmas tree this year!
