HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Best of luck with the challenge and weight loss.
I am very motivated today. I normally have trouble with motivation after the first week, then go back to old habits. Not this time but. I got lots of lovely ladies to keep me motivated. So far I done the leg magic. I also ate half the amount I normally eat for breaky and lunch. Dh and I are going to go for a walk with Ds and our dog after 5pm when it cools down abit. I will also do boxing and stepping on the wii.

hi ladies
I am after some ideas on what to have for breakfast. I like cereal, and I currently have cornflakes, which I know arent too good for me. I should mention, I hate sultanas, so wont eat any cereal with sultanas in it.
I ate weetbix every day for years and when I was pregnant went off them, and still cant face them
Anyone got any ideas?
I've been for a walk today (yay) actually 2 walks, if you count walking around a shopping centre!does that count?

Do you like porridge? It's one of the best healthy breakfasts and you can and fruit to it. I definately count walking around the shopping centre! Walking is walking doesn't matter where we do it.
I finally decided what my first goal is. It's a really hot day today so I decided to wear a pair of shorts out. I pulled out my shorts that I was wearing when DD1 was 3 months and I couldn't even get them up my legs!So my first goal is to fit into those shorts.
My first challenge is tonight when we go to my mums for dinner. She makes the best meals so I must remember PORTION CONTROL!!!!

I am mainly going to be cutting out processed foods and cutting back on the amount of carbs that I eat. I have low-carbed in the past with great success (lost 21kgs before falling preg with DD1), I just wont be cutting back quite as hard as would like to due to breastfeeding. Have found before just cutting out bread, pasta, potatoes from my lunch makes a huge difference to me, especially if I keep them minimal with dinner.
For breakfast I normally have porridge with fruit and a tablespoon of LSA, sometimes I will have eggs. I have been seeing a naturopath about improving my general health and we have worked out that they are the best breakfasts for me. I am also taking a digestion tonic to help with IBS and for the extreme hunger I tend to get. Really need to catch up with her again soon.
As for exercise, well still working that one out. I have the Wii Fit, so will be dragging that out more often and I will also be trying to get out into the garden more. Did go swimming today, but I doubt sitting in the shallow end with bubs counts as exercise
Punkin - you are looking great - congrats on your journey so far

Sooo very true Schaz! When my XH & I broke up, I lost 11kg in about 8 weeks. Mainly because I had more time for myself to exercise instead of looking after him and I ate better instead of cooking the crap he wanted to eat!
Well, I'm still feeling sick with this stupid tonsillitis. Haven't felt like doing anything at all and DP has gone off to get some pizza for dinner...I know, bad bad bad already. How does everyone keep on track with eating and exercise while they are sick?

Have any of you tried the new Weight watchers potato bakes? They're not bad. And only 1 point or 78 calories they're a good little treat. I'm someone who snacks a lot so I usually find that low fat goodies like this are good to have in the fridge/pantry because you don't feel like you're missing out. I've bought myself some skinny cow ice blocks too so I can have one after dinner. I always crave something sweet after dinner.
Hey Cookiemonster, yep I've been on the calorie king website before. It's good isn't it!

I bravely/stupidly (lol) put my pics up as well. they are bare belly and *GASP* bare thighs... i can hide my belly and thighs nicely under clothes, so they needed to come off to really see how I look.
Not very nice might i add (though my bum isn't too bad
Good on u girls for putting up your pics, I thought I was gonna be the only oneI reckon put it all out there and theres less chance of giving it up....well heres hoping!

Hi all - I started off reasonably well, considering I had temptation all around from last night's dinner party (we stayed at a friends house with the boys - being in someone else's place helps and stops indiscriminant raiding!)
I went for a 5 km walk yesterday with the boys so feel great for having done that - and I am starting to re-evaluate my weight loss goal - I think I want to get to 70kg!! 75kg gets me to a BMI of 25 (still overweight) and I thought - why kid myself - when I get to 75kg it will be that extra 5kgs which stops me from getting complacent.
So if I start at 85.5kg and stay disciplined with the help of all you lovely ladies, I should make it to 70kg by the end of March!
Will get DH to take honesty pics later this week.....
