10kg to lose, anyone want to join me?

**organicem** · July 19th, 2009, 03:42 PM

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.

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!!

Hi!

I would LOVE to join this challenge!

My little brother's getting married in January and I HAVE to look good. His future sister-in-law had a baby about the same time I did and she looks gorgeous (damn her!!!) yet I... I can't seem to fit into anything pre-any baby.

I'm going to try and (goals...) walk 3 times a week and go on the elliptical trainer - or whatever it's called - 3 times a week too. I'm not really one for overeating, though. I tend to have brekky of cereal with juice, a lunch of a sandwich with protein and salad things, a fruit snack when DS has one, and tea I try and cram as many vegies as I can in (like tonight it's spaghetti with capsicum, zucchini, carrot, broccoli and onion - whew!) whatever we're having, since DS isn't really up to having a pile of say broccoli on it's own. I don't blame him. Dessert normally gets skipped, and at night, a lovely 2 pieces of whittaker's choccie, 72% dark.

We'll see how we go.

And I hope it's okay if I join??? Cause to look gorgeous again - ie/ 'yummy mummy' in all those magazines - would be fantastic, and then I wouldn't have to buy any new clothes!
