Oh, well I'm totally confused?!?! :) I thought they had to be in Wednesday night....:
Just looked back on Lucys first post and we do have to have it in by tomorrow night:
My mistake, I just thought that because we had them in by Tuesday night last week for a fresh start Wednesday that the same would happen this week...:
Results will be posted weekly, on a Thursday. All of your weight and measurement figures need to be pm'd or emailed to me by Wednesday night to be included. Actual weight and measurements will not be posted. I will only post weight, %'s and cm's lost.
:redface: sorry for confusing you ladies!
Deanne.
yes looked at the old thread. in wednesday night to lucy and they are put on our tickers on thursdays! so must be tomorrow and measurements too. ahh well i put in 1.4kilo loss so maybe it is more tomorrow!!
glass of water. hmmmm....my glass is a tall one. the glass of water measures 275ml so i guess that is 2.2L as i have at least 8 of those per day. i normally have around 10 then so that is 2.75L...didn't realise! that is great, no wonder i feel so good.
Is it alright if I join in late? My DD is now 8 weeks old and I am ready to shift this baby weight, with dd1 I left it way too long and id like to get on top of my weight before it sky rockets. I lost the weight from dd1 last year and when I was at goal we started ttc number 2, fell pregnant straight away and gained all that weight back so I only got to wear my nice clothes for a short period of time lol
I went to the gym for the 1st time in ages this morning and managed to do 45min of cardio, i am fitter than I thought so that was a positive and I feel so much better about myself.
just had pizza muffins for lunch. yummo. so healthy. i cut an english muffin in half, toast it and then spread a teaspoon of tomato paste on each english muffin and add lean ham and vegetables of choice, light mozarella cheese on the top and then in the oven for 10 mins. yummy! and only 5.5 points on the weight watchers plan!
Well i got up this morning had thw washing machine programmed last night so i was hanging washing out at 6am... i waited for the 2nd load so i had more to hand out... (2 loads of towels) Gosh it piles up when your sick
I tried to make it more physical so i was doing like squats and stretching the calfs when i reached up to hang them... (didnt put it down so it was hard to reach) while i was hanging i had another 2 load of sheets and blankets washing... i did have to wait for the 4th one but utilised the time but ...:tmi: YUK raking up the doggy do-do... which i ended up raking the whole grass... (not that big until you rake it.. haha)
I then cam inside pump up the musioc and started dancing round tidying up brefore i vacuumed the carpet, swept and mopped the tiles... i'm still sick but i thought if i sat round feeling sore and achy that i wouldnt get anything done... Got DD to sleep so time for more cleaning up... Very hot here again but while stuck inside i might aswell utilise the day and summer clean haha...
Keep up the good work ladies...
Eating saladas for lunch... not as boring as I would have thought!
I also have a bunch of grapes to munch on for the afternoon at work :D
Rhianon, a 'standard' glass is 250mL, you're supposed to drink 2L a day.
Deanna, the challenge started on Jan 1st, Thursday :)
By the way, I went for my walk :dance: :dance: Go me! Only carried her half the way as she fell asleep, so I put her in the pram.
Off to study and burn 48 calories an hour PMSL (i don't think i think quite that hard though :rofl:)
Girls,
Your results need to be emailed or pm'd to me or emailed to lucy.mulvany@bellybelly.com.au by Weds night. (Email is better to be honest, as my PM box gets so full too fast!)
I will then enter your details into the spreadsheet I have got, which will then give me YOUR % WEIGHT CHANGE adn your CM's lost. These are the results that I will post.
YOUR TICKERS........all you need to do to change the stats on your tickers is to enter in your NEW WEIGHT onto the site where you made your ticker. This will then AUTOMATICALLY reflect in your ticker.
Hope that makes sense!
I tell you what since I have had DD I never know what day it is and it is only getting worse :rolleyes: please forgive me for confusing you all. I think I am even more confused as I started this myself on the Monday before I had even seen this thread.
Sorry Ladies :redface:
Deanne.
LOL Deanne, I thought new years day was Wednesday, the last two weeks I've confused the heck out of a whole heap of people PMSL! So don't worry, I'm right there with you!
me too!
I'm feeling a little deflated today. I just read that one of my friends, is apparently 6 days into her "lifestyle change" and has lost 3 kg! wth is she doing? Not eating? She's bigger than me, and I really want to lose my weight, but it's not making me feel very good. I don't think I've lost any thing. Short of walking all day and eating barely anything, how am I going to do this? I know weight loss is a personal thing, and that it's not a competition, but it just feels like it is :(
Rhianon- Try not to feel defeated, she may have lost 3 kgs of fluid or if she is doing some sort of radical diet, it might not be something she can maintain. Think lifestyle change over diet, this is your forever- to make a fitter healthier you. From everything I have read and heard, the slower you loose it, the more likely it is to stay off. I know in myself I seem to loose in fortnightly cycles rather than weekly, mostly affected by AF and ovulation- so now I know not to be too disapointed on the scales if one week shows not much of a lose, because usually, if I know in my heart of hearts that I have been doing the right thing (instead of just telling myself that I have) it will catch up the next week.
I have had a pretty good day, I got out of bed thinking.........hmmmmmmmm I didnt know I had muscles there (or there, or there etc) and usually I would have said to myself- oh you worked so hard yesterday, you must have because you are so sore, no need to exercise today. But instead I dragged myself out of bed while the house was still quiet (trust my kids to finally learn to sleep in when I hve decided to excercise early in the morning- typical:rolleyes:) put on my joggers and stuck in my headphones and off I went on my morning walk.
As for food, I had:
beans on toast (1/2 cup of beans 2 slices of bakers delight hi fibre/ low gi)
small pk of fruit and nut mix
Home made cheese, corn and ham muffin
Some smoked oyster in spring water on vita weat crackers
For dinner I am making a chicken madras curry, which I will serve with clever rice (the low gi one) and steam veg.
Another PT session tomorrow, this one is a tone session - Monday was cardio, and saturday I will do kickboxing session.
Must try and get some more water in today though, think I have only had 1 l so far.
Deanne, no worries! I am the same as you. Some days I have to ask DP what day it is. When you are a SAHM, you forget so much! I love weekdays more than weekends now I'm a SAHM to be honest, love that it is quiet through the week.
Rhianon, my sister used to lose 5kgs per week when she first started WW! And she was well over the 100kg mark. They say that when you are bigger you lose more the first few weeks. I remember she started to slow down on the weight loss when she got under 80kgs, just works that way. I think she used to be allowed to have 24 points when she started too or something! I'm only allowed 20! But that is more than enough for me and my eating through each day. So don't worry hun, CM's are the important thing I reckon. After only 1 week I had lost 0.6kgs but 4cms off my thigh alone, that is just crazy! By the way, they recommend you don't lose more than 1kg per week, you'll keep it off then! Tomorrow is another day too hun! Hugs to you :hug:
Ali, man can I come over for dinner, that sounds nice. I am making Ginger Beef Stir Fry with Rice but I think I prefer yours! Well done on your exercise thing, so proud of you (think I told you that in our baby buddies forum anyway today already!!)
Well I just had a 2 hour sleep with my DD, now I'm feeling absolutely refreshed. However, glad I got the walk out of the way this morning :o
Look at all you girls losing cm's and weight! I don't want to measure my cm's I don't think they will have changed all that much with me not doing much exercise. But I have lost a kg or so (as of yesterday arvo anyway!) I'm trying not to weigh myself except for weigh in days. It's waaay too hot for me to go for a walk now, still 36 degrees here. Though it is supposed to cool down apparently. I will have to go for a walk later if the kids behave and go to bed early! Otherwise I have done heavy cleaning, mopping, vacuuming, changing beds, cleaning cupboards...So again some exercise but not what I wanted to do!
Been really good with eating, in with calories, fat, and carbs, so a better day overall I guess. I'm getting better every day! I got AF today so that explains the really bad bad sugar cravings the past several days! No I have it I should be able to control myself better.
Kel, I get bad sugar cravings too when AF is due to arrive! BAD! Well done with all of that cleaning today!
Rhianon - try not to feel bad hun...you said yourself she is bigger than you and that just mean you are both different sizes and will lose kgs in different ways. She may lose more to start off with just for the fact that she is heavier. It's over the long term the counts and diet is a dirty word ;) it's a whole lifestyle change that will do the trick, something that you can sustain forever.
Well done on all you girls who've been on the scales and seen results.
I'm having a good day but think i might blow it tonight we are going out for dinner that is famous for its steak and serves huge meals. I am thinking i will try and get a small piece of steak and salad.....we will see.
I have been good with my eating today though lacked a bit in the exercise. I just find it soooo hard to get out and do it with my 2 girls under tow. DD1 WILL NOT sit in a pram so even a walk is out of the Q. I did put the wii fit on when DD2 was asleep but the phone rang and then DH came hm from work and then that was the end of that iykwim.
My affirmation.
It is Jan 2010 and i am between 60-64kg i am healthy and fit. I havent felt this good since pre children and am back into all my size 10 clothes- I am fitter than i have ever been. I am so pleased that i have set a good example for my children over the past year. My DH loves my new body and we feel like a brand new couple again. He is so proud of my transformation and loves to show me off. I am no longer shy and have to worry about rolls and dimples. My confidence is at an all time high and i am truly happy.
Hoody _IKWYM... DS is such a handful and thinks he's too big for a stroller but when he walks he runs off and just doesnt listen... DD is fine in the pram or carrier but prefers the pram... My DD works shift work so if its not him getting home at 1-2am its him leaving then and getting home at lunch... its hard cos we dont have a regular routine... I just need to start tellingmyself that its time to focus on ME... (easier said then done)
I think its grear all of you who are Gym'ing it and really getting into it... I need to make more time to get out there although my motivation is lacking being sick but once i get into it it should get easier
The thing i hate is dishonest people... I have few friends that keep telling me what they weigh... why tell me if there not going to be honest... A friend of my DP's is a big girl and while talking today she was telling me she needed to loose weight cos she was _kgs... if thats correct i want a set of her scales.. She appears to be the same weight as me and she was like 20 kgs off what i am... why cant people be honest... It was a big step for me to sent my stats in... i think confronting the "figure" on the scales is part of the journey...i never told anyone what i weighed but if i were to tell people i certainly wouldnt lie... especially not to a fellow FAT lady... GRRR
I've been bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely minimal exercise. I did walk from the top of the Queen Street Mall to the bottom and back at lunch time (on the way back carrying about 6 books I'd bought), had japanese for lunch & didn't eat all the rice (had about 7 chopstick full) - left more than half the rice in the bowl.
Tonight is salad - no steak, just a boiled egg & some ham in the salad.
I know my measurements etc are going to be bad this week - AF started on Monday which hasn't helped.
****.... :o
I just went for an HOUR walk in 38 degree heat!! My face is as red as a beetroot and I am still sweating - ewww. Once I got back I did 50 squats, 50 lunges (25 each side), and 60 sit ups. I am absolutely stuffed but feeling very proud. :D
Today I only ate three saladas (with vegemite) for lunch, grapes and an apple. Not much I know but I still haven't got my appetite back. I fear a burn out and/or sickness is going to catch up with me...
I have a massive motivator - I'm going to look HOT HOT HOT when I travel to the US in 9 months!! :dance:
Rhianon.......forget other peoples stats. It may be fluid anyways. Just trust your OWN bodies response. Promise.
I just did intervals up the bloody hill and back and I am now sweating like a pig: it is HOT here today. Gonna go and have a dip in the kids wade and shade pool now, to cool off!
I totally understand. The friend I was talking about earlier is the same. She hasn't told me her weight, but puts forward that feeling that she thinks she's the same. She says she's exersizing her butt off and doing the celebrity slim diet and eating better. But who am I to judge?:
I just went for a 30 min walk and came back all hot and sweaty but damn, it felt good! Might see if I can fit 2 of them into my day! Will also try to get eye toy kinetic and the ps2 back from pil... Now if I can only find my digital scales and get dh to make them work (they keep turning off and don't stay on for long).
Well done Amy braving that awesome walk in the heat!
Well done everyone else. Looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow morning AND doing my measurements!
Amy- send me some of your motivation... Phew it was 42 degrees in penrith today and although the news said it was 38 here my thermometer said it was 40 here... There was no way i was taking the kids out in that... if DP was home i probably would have gone this evening without them would have been a perfect day to sweat it out...
Scone- i wasnt jugeing this girl... well i just hoped that we could be honest and maybe ... you know help each other but i cant stand when people are fake and dishonest . I think you should be proud to have started and putting in the effort... the way i see it is ANY loss is better then a gain...
i have decided that i'm focusing on me and me only... Its nice to have motivation but (and i hope i dont offend anyone) but i dont pay attention to what others have lost... it only depresses me... I know i havent been putting in 100 % my excuse is i'm sick but you know what... There is always an excuse with me... Its hot, its cold, i dont have time, etc etc... well i need to focus and make time... no one else will loose the weight for me... if others are ahead or behind its all ok cos we all know what we have and havent done and were accountable for ourselves...
I have made a promise to NEVER again weight as much as i did in the begining of this challange... Not even close to it... it may take me weeks, months or hey even the year (or 2) to get to my ultimate goal but i really want to get there and thats my focus... I will use everyone as motivation but i'm not pushing myself to do it faster then everyone else... just going at my own pace and hey it took a while to get to here so it'll take time going back... I was telling my DP its like a reverse pregnancy for me... HAHA i need to loose 30-40 kgs... i gained 27 with my DS and lost 10 after then gained 22 with DD... i would love to say that i could loose a kilo a week and in 40 weeks be fat free but it doesnt work that way...
keep up the good work ladies
Je$$, your self awareness on this issue is half the battle. You recognise it in yourself, so therefor you can easily change it.:
but you know what... There is always an excuse with me... Its hot, its cold, i dont have time, etc etc...
Well done. You'll most likely find that it is a bit like the dishes. The thought of starting is worse than the doing.
Either way, I reckon you'll really begin to enjoy the journey. Being on the journey is easier than worrying about not being on the journey. And it is YOUR trip, no one elses.
Jess, yes I hear you. It is good you are focusing on yourself and I agree that it doesn't matter how long it takes you to get there, it is no competition, it's about you and your ultimate goal. We are all here to support one another and I think that is the greatest thing!
Can I join in on this now or am I too late for this one?
FJ, join in. Just email me your current weight, and measurements of bust, waist and hips. And weight loss ticker code if you want me to display it.
I don't even own bathroom scales so will ahve to see about getting into the shops tomorrow LOL
I dunno what to do about my knees clicking when I excercise! I know it sounds dumb but I have to keep things quiet here at night...and that was quiet 'cept for my KNEES!
Should I keep going through the noise????
Jess you are an amazing person and by been so honest with yourself and US you will succeed :) With weight loss i think slow and steady wins the race. I too am full of excuses but have been trying really hard to stay motivated. TBH i never thought when i joined this challenge i would take it as serious as i am :redface:. The next 2 weeks for me will be a challenge as DH is going to Vietnam BUT on the other hand i look at it as more time for ME once the kids are in bed etc.
Tried to be good with dinner i ordered a 150g fillet steak (the smallest they did) they wouldnt do it with salad so it came with chips. I ate half. I didnt have my usual mushroom sauce, dessert or latte so although i did eat the chips i did resist my other temptations iykwim so its a start.
Big day tomo girls GL everyone but remember even if the scales or tape measure dont show the results you hoped for its not ALL about weight loss it about healthy life style too iykwim. Be kind to yourselves and know you are doing all you can.
Lulu usually clicking is either shortened (through lack of use) tendons sliding over bone or each other or (more likely in knees) tiny pockets of fluid or even air bubbles in the joint moving about. If the clicking is painless then ignore it, tendons stretch, moving fluid or air are harmless, if anything hurts then have a GP or even better, physio, check you out first.
I'm doing ok, began eating better on Sunday (4th) and began my exercise again yesterday (5th). I am concentrating on resistance because my chest is not too impressed with the cold air (was minus 7 here last night!) since my 'flu episode and i live half way up a giant hill and cannot run on the flat in any direction, so i can only run for about 15minutes just now. I am still running, i'm just not really calling those runs "exercise". So last night i did a full body resistance workout with the weights i got for Christmas. It was HARD work but we've set a little lifting room up in the house, and actually i really liked getting into a different space to work out. Tonight i'll be doing upper body only but with higher weights and on Friday lower body only with high weights, then back down for my full-body next monday. I'm just fitting the runs in where i can, TBH even popping to the shop involves pushing DD nearly a mile up a 1:4 hill...
I did a lovely walk through the woods on Saturday with DP and DD. She was thrilled to see icicles and walked so far! Nearly 2km all by herself on rough frozen paths and then she needed a break so i popped her in the meitai to go back. So i was sweating by the time we got back to the car, though again, i wouldn't really call that exercise for me, because i tend to walk a lot anyway. It was so lovely though, we all got in glowy and happy after our little commune with nature. Sadly we celebrated with a cake in the coffee shop after lunch... :rolleyes:
Bx
I decided to weigh in this morning (so I'm on the same page with you guys...) and I have lost another 300g!!!! :dance:
I must be doing something right... That's almost a 1kg since 4 days ago and 2.1kgs since about 6 weeks ago (when I weighed my heaviest) :D
Amy, well done!!!!
I lost 1.4kgs.
I lost 5cms off bust, 4cms off waist and 5cms off hips so it must be working. Any loss is a good one.
Good luck to everyone else today!
Hoody, resisting the temptations is half the battle I find... congrats I say - you still did good!
GL to all with weigh in - I am scared and excited all at the same time - my head knows that overall the numbers aren't the end of the world - but there is one part of my head that refuses to believe that!
Good luck to everybody with the weigh in.
Remember this is your journey, so each result will be different. We are all doing different exercise and all eating different. Any loss is brilliant. The slower you lose, the more chance you have of keeping the weight off. I feel that it is also a change of lifestyle that we are achieving.
I've gone down another 1.6kg in the week. Yay for me. I am now at the weight I was in May 07. Another 1/2 kilo and I will be where I was in June 07. Which was the last time I saw my dietician. 4kg to go to my first goal.
I'm feeling quite satisfied this morning. I took my "before" shots. Something I was really anxious (well terrified) about doing. But they're done and filed away until I reach my goal weight. I need to buy a tape measure today so I can do my measurements - I couldn't find one last night!
Good luck to everyone on weigh-in day today!!
Congrats Amy, mollycat, queenbee on you weight loss :). Good luck to everyone with weigh-in today.
I have lost 2kg. I'm proud of that seeing I'm breastfeeding and pregnant. I haven't been feeling the best so I haven't been exercising much, which is something I have to change this week.
Well done Jo, Molly, Amy and tk!!
I went to toilet and weighed myself again. I don't think it was accurate this morning when I first got up.
CM's are a good indication anyways!
