Rhianon, to you honey. You know, when people make HUGE changes in their eating and exercise regime, they tend to lose ALOT quickly, mostly fluid from water retention and bloating etc. Plus bigger people have more to lose, they they lose more. Have you ever watched the biggest loser? It's not about how much is lost, but the % lost. If you're 150kg, and lose 15kg, you've lost 10%. If you're 100kg, and lose 10kg, you've lost 10%. If you're 50kg, and lost 5kg, you've lost 10%. It's all relative
Hoody... they wouldn't do it with salad How DUMB! Where did you go? I know sizzler don't do salads, because they have the salad bar but anywhere else makes no sense at all!
Feeling very sorry for you girls in the heat wave! It got up to 36 here, thats about it. No way I'd be out in that heat (I doubt I'd even move INSIDE my house PMSL) so to you Amy, well done, thats some keen motivation there!
Did my 40 minutes on the eyetoy, and then some cool down yoga on the wiifit. Had sausages for dinner last night but we had steamed vegies instead of chips, so I was half good. It all fit into my CK intake so all good. Gonna have some boiled eggs and salad for lunch.
Hey, I have trouble getting in all the protein I need (no probs with the carbs though ). Should I look into a protein shake instead of my morning milo?
Lost 0.5g, which I am happy about. A loss is a loss, I've also lost cm's (1cm off waist, 0.5cm off hips, 1.5cm off bust - I'm not 100% sure if my bus counts though as a bfing mumma I tend to fluctuate lol). I'm 60.9kg now. 6.2kg to go. I also lost 1cm off my thighs
Everyone is going great guns, it is awesome to see how much support everyone is ofering to each other.
I had my second PT training session this morning, and I put in my forms to become a member which was a huge step for me. Todays session was a toning session so not so breathless etc- but holy cow my body hurts. I am just pushing through, my trainer old me it will tkae at least 2 weeks for it to stop being so painful, so I just have to get on with it.
I weighed in this morning, I have lost 1.2 kgs and 2 cms of my bust. I am happy with that as my aim was too loose 600gm per week, and anything over that is a bonus.
Well done everyone seems to be doing so well
Mum's bringing over her tape measure today for me to use so I'll get my 1st lot of measurements in. I need to get my old measurements from the gym and see how they compare. I love that my scales have body fat % becuase sometimes when you plateau you are still losing body fat and gaining muscle.
Aimee slept through for the 2nd time ever last night woo hoo, so after her feed at 5am I put her back to bed at 6 and went to the gym, I'll try and do that for the next 2 days while tony is home. I have rejoined weight watchers online as I did it as a teenager and maintained my weight until I fell pregnant with dd1 then used it to lose the baby weight so it works for me and I can keep the weight off (unless I get pregnant lol).
Leasha 500g is great that is the maximum weekly weight loss reccomended while you are breastfeeding so that is what I am aiming for
Leash - I don't know about all of them, but I have a set of Tanita ones that do the body fat % (gawd it took me ages to save up the $$ for them!) but they measure it by sending a very tiny miniscule current through your body. The theory behind it is that fat and bones etc don't pick up on the current whereas your muscles and organs etc do....so it works it out from that....I hope that makes sense!?
Larana is right they use a very minute electircal current to measure resistance, fat and muscle have difference levels of resistance bone density should not change significantly your hydration level can alter the result so it is best to make sure you are not dehydrated when you use them. LOL on a scam I thought so too and researched it before I got one. I got mine from big w they have a big range i think mine were about $60, they were the weight watchers ones
Yep Sararose, you explained it a lot better, thanks
My scales are the Tanita ones...but not only do they do weight and body fat %, they also do bone mass, muscle mass, and your biological age and a few other things that I can't think of off the top of my head.
Congrats to everyone on the weight loss! One week down and we are all going great!
I weighed in this morning and to my dismay the numbers on the scales did not change from last week. On the positive side at least I haven't gained anything! Plus I've lost 2cm off my hips.
I didn't sleep well at all last night due to coughing. I'm just about over the tonsillitis, I just now have this annoying itchy cough. Pilates last night was awesome and I felt great after it. It's going to be a warm one today so I think I might stay indoors and get on the Wii Fit in the aircon!
