Good idea. Although I would probably do a separate affirmation one. The ticker ones take FOREVER to load and edit as they are so graphic heavy.

Hiiii everyone. Okay, my week one has been a bomb LOL, well not entirely, but a lot of it has, anyway I have a bunch of bad-choice events out of the way now so am feeling better about it. I also had AF so was chocolate craving galore which was hell.
I LOVE the affirmation idea, in fact I just thiknk I will semi-copy the example Lucy wrote
It is so inspiring to come in here everyday and see everyones triumphs or to read others console those who have briefly fallen off the wagon. This is definitely a good way to go about a transformation, there is no way I could do this without so much support.It is January 2010.
I have worked hard all year. & I am so excited to be here. I reflect on my 'fat' photos and no longer see them as hideous but see them as me that had a baby & then, eventually felt it was the 'right time' to turn her life around!
I am very proud to say that last year I lost over 30kg. I am now a slim size 12 and I feel like a sexy goddess. I love being able to wear anything I like and look good in it. I am so relieved not to be worrying over my weight. I am so glad I stayed motivated and lost the weight and got fit.
I am so thankful that my husband was there every step of the way to guide us both to satisfaction. And that seeing my son grow into an active little boy gave me even more inspiration to get here.

Blackduckies I was having the same problem with my DS been really fussy at the boob for two days, it was on one of my walks that I worked out that I was most probably not eating enough to satisfy him as well as myself and with the extra exercising ect that I was burning more cals off. So yesterday I ate a bit more then the previous days and he didn't fuss at all, so maybe give that a try.
Well I've been doing well with my exercise have been doing between 40-50mins of walking each day, except yesterday, but we went 4wding and I was in and out of the car and walking with the video camera so I got some exercise at least. As I was saying to Blackduckies, I believe that I had cut down too much on my cals that he was getting fussy so I had to have more to eat, I've been having healthier options and he isn't fussy now.
I've got a question, Is it possible to lose cms and not weight?

Sure is Amanda, that's why on a weight loss journey it is recommended to measure cm's and weight so as not to get discouraged by the 'no-loss'.
Also if you are lighter muscle toning can cause you to put on weight - because muscle is heavier than fat!

It is January 2010.
I started 2009 weighing just over 85 kilos but with hard work and persistence got down to my goal of 70 kilos. I was able to run, swim and ride a bike without feeling out of breath and my flexibility improved out of sight. All my clothes looked better, too!
Now that I am pregnant I am gaining weight in a healthy manner. I am well on track to weighing less when I am full-term than when I began my weight loss journey in January 2009.

Well I'm back....
Managed to avoid chocolate, in its entirety, for the whole four days! Woohoo!
I did have a few "oh $hit" moments, like 1/2 a donut (eeek), but mostly ate well. Didn't exercise much (read at all, apart from about an hour a day down the beach).
Goals this week (for the next 2 days LOL) Exercise at least 1/2 hour each day. Take the kids to the park. Get some "me-time", as I've been full time Mummying since Christmas and I'm beginning to get over it...
Drink more water!
All the best to everybody... will do more catching up tonight when kid-free!

I'll do my measuring tonight and also take my before shots (which I will keep private for now). I'll be back tomorrow with official stats for Lucy.
I've been good today - got caught having to go to a business lunch and ordered a thai beef salad - I still don't have an appetite though so I barely ate half.
Has anyone else ever randomly lost their appetite completely?
