    Well I did 40 minutes again today. Miserable again i don't have a wet-weather cover for the pram and I don't want Jazz getting cold and wet so it was eyetoy again, gonna alternate between my two eyetoy games (Kinetic and Combat) and my wiifit.

    BTW WiiFit reckons I've lost 200g since Wednesday WOO!!

    BOMBED at dinner, had Kiev and chips
    But I decided to go onto Calorie King to see how much I should be eating, and it all fit into my calorie count (of 1800 ) so YAY! Not very healthy though which is my goal It's so hard with Shel though, because of my ED history she is hesitant with encouraging me, and says I look great (even though really I don't), and won't pull me up if I eat, say, 12 bertie beetles!

    BUT Cheds were on special (*DROOL*) and Shel said "aren't you going to get some?" and I said NOPE and bought some crusket things instead.

    Jess - i heard that Jillian Michaels (Biggest loser trainer) has/is bringing out a game to use on the fit board.... should be good ... actually i just searched for it and its called Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009.... i would love to check this game out ... its boot camp style... hehe
    Anyone played this????

    For the people who use CalorieKing... do you eat all your points??? I know they say u need to do this but im finding it hard and my mind thinks that if i eat less i will lose more but this isnt the case is it??? I really have no idea :|

    I plan to use all my points and but I have never actually eaten all of them... I often just don't need the fruit or yoghurt or another part of something that is with the meal. I am on 1500 points.

    But having said that I always eat the more 'substantial' part of the meal and if I do miss something it is the smaller thing like I said. I lost weight quite successfully doing it this way (well successfully enough with me anyway)

    Hi everyone

    HP congrats on the BFP, thats great news!

    Hmmm, I'm starting to wish I had a Wii fit now too!

    Well it is day 3 without chocolate today. Chocolate is my BIG problem. I am seriously addicted and if it is in the house I have to eat it! I'm not into take away food or chippies or softdrinks or alcohol. Chocolate is my vice and I could easily consume a family block of cadbury macadamia in a day. The first day of the challenge I was absolutely caving the chocolate like crazy but thankfully today it's not too bad.

    I haven't exactly been sticking to my 1500 calories per day but I have been making sure I'm having less than 30 gms of fat per day so having a low fat diet and banning chocolate are my first two challenges. I will see how I go and if I'm not budging much weight I'll start to re-assess my calorie intake.

    Anyone elso out there seriously addicted to chocolate?

    We just got a wii and I am now seriously considering a wii fit... though I am locked into my gym membership for another 9 or so months so that sucks... hang on - more positive way to look at this: I could be getting the best of a gym workout and have something to do on days when I need to rest from gym!

    Forgot to say COngrats HP... Thats awesome... i'd love #3 but desperatly need to drop this weight 1st... So my goal lose as much as i can before TTC end of the yr early next yr... (fingers crossed DP is ok with that... haha)

    Forgot to mention i mowed and wipered the front and back lawn DP was going to do it but i did as i thought it was better then sitting down... Wonder if that burns calories... It took it out of me a little mostly my arms from holding the wiper and the vibrations from it...

    I started a thread for recipes cos i get a bit slack with ideas so hoping for some goos low fat, low carb, low GI recipes... Anything really... I have recipe books but i prefer to see what others cook and like. Some of the low fat is more like No taste...

    Leasha... I have done the same thing with the jogging up and down from the hall to the kitchen and back... i like the step one but wish the one you can change the time was more like the rythem ones... Or wish they went longer... I put a board under today to make it higher and my legs are sore so thats good... This sore throat and headache is aweful so i was in bed with DP but lasted 10 mins and DD woke up... Now i have a recharged baby and my head is pounding.... I have had like 4 cups of tea... weak with skim milk and splenda so i hope tht isnt too bad... i always get these headaches when i cut the coke out... Like i'm some junkie... LOL... I love my coke...

    Is anyone doing the shakes or pills??? I was looking at the tony ferguson shakes and vitamins??? its like $260 for 4 weeks supply... I just cant afford that at the moment with the mortgage... But was wondering if they worked...

    Nikki- will google that game and see if i can buy it... sounds great... i need variety

    Hi everyone,

    spice- count me in on the chocolate addiction! I am utterly such a pig when chocolate is around but I've been really proud of myself since the challenge has started. Theres been half a twirl and a picnic in the door of the fridge and I have kept my hands off it...well I did pick up the twirl, looked at the fat table and put it back. Selena isn't a sweet tooth so when our nephew and niece come over will get them to down it so it doesn't go on my hips. Hope I dont cave!

    HPs Mum - thats fantastic news, Congrats on your its a great start to the year and an incentive to eat healthy!

    I haven't used calorie king before, I've signed up with myfitnesspal and they've calculated I can have 1200calories a day. I thought that was a bit strict but when you start making healthy food choices its not that bad at all. I've made a good start, had my warm water with lemon juice, cereal and heaps more water, I'll have a late lunch of a ham and salad wrap again, its really satisfying for me and I think I will ride my bike this afternoon and maybe a wii session. I dont have a wii fit yet so I just do the boxing and tennis on the regular sports game, it gets my blood pumping. Looking forward to getting a wii fit sometime soon. Because I work shift work I've decided to do something outdoorsy when I'm home in the afternoons but when I'm working an evening shift I can have a wii session in the morning or late at night. that way I can get fresh air exercise whenever I can and wii in between. Selena is supportive, she cooks most of the time and has modified her cooking. She wants to lose a few kilos too so it works well for us both. I hope everybody is doing really well and if you've fallen off the wagon just jump back on or chase it down the street until you catch it as I have had to do so many times before lol. Bye for now
