Thanks Lucy... I found it. I will have a think about whether or not I will change it or leave it for a bit and change it later

I've been good all week (hehe starting thursday! so maybe not that long! ) so I decided to go and weigh myself to see how much I've lost before I weigh in properly wednesday.... I've put on just over a kilo... wth? Not a very motivating sight. Maybe I just wont eat...

NOOOOOOOO!

Don't torture yourself!

Honestly,our weight fluctuates SO much daily, depending on so many things. Weighing yourself intermittently through the day or through the week is nothing but painful demotivating torture!

Weigh yourself once a week only, first thing, after you have done a wee/poo.

failed!! Ate almost a litre of chilli chocolate icecream over the day...a teaspoon here, a mouthfull there....Bugger! Thrown the rest away!!

Oh well...DD is just waking up so im going to go for a big walk now.

Hi girls, yes you can all talk heaps.
No to diet shakes!!!! Just put the weight back on. I don't think I know anyone who has kept the weight off long term.

I have been doing well, enjoying chopping my wood
BF question????

I have'nt felt hungry so feel like I am eating enough and drinking heaps, but feel like my supply is dropping off. I have to comp anyway, never had a good enough supply... I am baseing this on my boobs don't feel full at all at the moment and bubs is frustrated at the breast. Although she is only drinking the same in the bottle???? Maybe she can taste the difference (no sweetners in the milk)
Any thoughts appreciated. Pam

Have been a good girl today and yesterday. One of my main weaknesses is not making wise choices when i eat out which is quite often. Yesterday i had brunch with a girlfriend, i had muesli, fruit and yoghurt with skim milk and thats it! Normally i would have greasy fry up when being bad followed by cake. Today i had lunch out and had greek lamb salad followed by fruit salad with yoghurt - i really wanted to have a huge burger and chips followed by the mint choc ripple cake which looked SOOOO good - yay for me!!! Also took dogs for walk this morning....hope everyone having a good day!

I woke up this morning and almost curled back up under the covers again. I'd spent hours in the garden yesterday afternoon, and I was hurting all over, my back was so sore, my legs ached. I was really strong though, and somehow made myself get up, get dressed and off for a 20 minute walk. Every step hurt, but I'm so glad I did it.

I've also come to the conclusion that Wii fit just doesn't exist. I've now changed the name of it to Wii Fit - The Chase. I spent all morning, going from shop to shop, driving all over the place trying to find one. Even one shop, who boasts that they sell it the cheapest didn't have it in stock. I think I went through five different shops before giving up and deciding that I'd spent another 20 minutes walking from shop to shop to car to shop to car and back again. They all told me they weren't getting any more in until the end of January. Oh well, at least I managed to fit in a second walk, and I used the stairs from the car park not the lift - on the way up that was, (just couldn't face the stairs on the way down).

I also took one look at dinner tonight - my DS1 had cooked on the BBQ - it looked greasy, so I went and ate fruit instead. Just need to work on increasing my water intake now.

Everyone sounds like they are doing so well

Having an ok day. I dont feel like have done great with my eating but reflecting whilst sitting here its not as bad as i thought. For breakie i had some sustain cereal (the low GI one)With skim milk and a cup of tea- no sugar skim milk. For lunch i had a hard boiled egg and 2 pieces of wholemeal bread- NO BUTTER omg that was hard. Dinner is in the oven. Marinated chicken wingettes (i will only have 1 or 2) and i have a huge plate of salad. Havent really had any snacks today though i did have a cruiser when we had ppl pop in I really wanted another but stopped myself so at least i showed some will power. I have also had lots of water as i think its helping me to feel full and not to graze iykwim. I did 1/2 and hr on the wii fit doing boxing and step and will take our dog for a walk once it cools down and my dinner settles. I'm looking forward to weigh in wed but scared too. I'm worried if i dont see results i'll lose motivation.

Black duckies- I have no idea with regards to your BFing issues but been one to struggle with my supply when dd2 was younger i know how stressful it can be. Maybe just try feeding more often to up your supply (i'm sure you are already doing this though)

Henri- on the healthy choices

Sconeonamission- I was weighing myself daily on my wii fit but after it saying i was .9kg heavier i am refusing to do it until wed now. DH told me maybe i just needed to do a big poo trying to make me feel better. I'm sure you are making progress. Remember its not all about the no its about your health
