My scales are broken again, dh is going to look into it, but for now, I don't have anything to go by. I went to the local chemist (walked) and it said I put ON weight! So, I don't want to submit that figure. Hopefully dh will have the scales fixed tonight, then I can submit that figure. iykwim.
I lost 400gm this week, which isnt too bad, because all up that is 1.6kgs in 2 weeks, so I am within my average of 600gm per week. I have to keep telling myself that so long as I keep averaging 600gm pw I will reach my goal in the 12 months I have set myself to do it. However, I did loose like 6 cms off my waist this week and another 2.5cm off my bust, so all my good eating and excercise are paying off
Doing really well with the calorie counting, and finding that I am not really feeling too hungry through the day. Dinner is my biggest challenge as I used to having much bigger portions at dinner time, so I am trying really hard to measure my portions carefully.
I also bought today some choc billabongs today- they are only 80 calories, and I always save 100 calories for an after dinner treat/ dessert for after the kids have gone to bed. I figured that I can satisfy my sweet/ choc cravings while still staying in my calories.
Amy- I agree with the others, 6 small meals is better than just 3. My dietician suggested 300 cal breakfast/ 100 cal morning tea/ 300 cal lunch/ 100 cal arvo tea/ 300 cal dinner/ 100 cal dessert. I have found by eating this way I am satisfied throughout the entire day and never feel hungry.
TK- Congrats on the BFP, what an awesome way to start 2009.
Bindy- You are doing super well, you love WW don't you? I can see you as a future WW group leader, you seem to really know your stuff.
Laranna- Blame it on fluid retention- I always do
I hope everyone is still going strong- I feel super motivated still, which for me is amazing. Something Lucy said really struck a cord for me the other day- something along the lines of "time will pass anyway.....". This really made me realise, that too many times I have started something and given up, and time has passed by and I have been in the same situation (or worse) but it 12 months on, and I am still unhappy about it.
Not this time, this time - I will keep at it, and after 12 months have passed (and I have turned 30) which is going to happen regardless, I am going to be fitter, healthier and happier!
Well done everyone
I have lost 2kg and 11.5cm yay! I am a slow starter so this is week one for me. The cm's might be a bit out becuase I swear my bust must change about 10cm before and after bf dd.
Going to be a challenging week this week had my step fathers birthday last night luckily it was hot and we had cold meats and salad. The lemon meringue pie for dessert worked in with my ww points for the day so not too bad (the chocolate eclair did not ). I have dinner with friends on friday night but if its still warm ill be happy with a salad. My friends wedding is saturday but im not going to worry to much about what I eat that night, im just going to enjoy it. So this weeks challenge for me is not to gain anything and exercise 4 times this week.
You girls are SO chatty! I think i might have to be a once-a-week poster...lol.
Well last week was terrible! I worked out with weights on Monday and went for a long (about 7km but half with a heavy heavy buggy and up huge hills) walk on Wednesday but i ate a lot of junk all week... I lost NOTHING in weight but i did lose a few cm's off bust (meaningless, they go up and down with water) and hips (less meanngless) so it's not all gloom and doom, but i really feel more motivated to work hard and eat better this week! I lifted weight on Monday and walked about 6km yesterday. Today i'm going to walk to the sorting office to pick up some new running shoes which came in the post yesterday when i was out and i'm in 2 minds about jogging down to get them - need to plot and see how far it is... I'm DETERMINED to lift weight more this week too, since it's my #1 weightloss tool.
I just filled in the forms for a new GP surgery since we've moved house and seeing the "height/weight" bit for the practice nurse to fill out strengthened my resolve!
Ah well - I gained 600g (but given I weighed myself at the end rather than start of the day it is probably just food and fluid "gained"). Good thing is my measurements are static.
Considering I had a wedding to go to this past week as well as only having been to the gym once and eating silly stuff on at least 2 occasions I am happy with my "progress" LOL!
I'm happy I've lost another 600grams so in total I've lost 1.5kg's which I think is great, I lost another 3cms all up and that makes 10cms total in over the two weeks.
For this week I need to get back to drinking more water again, I fell into old ways with drinking coke Zero this week, but I must admit not as much as normal.
queenbee - is the blue ribbon light vanilla icecream, it is so creamy, it's like eating full fat icecream. I worked it out to be 3 points for 2 big scoops... its really yum
1. NEVER eat processed, greasy food after two weeks of eating healthy - it upsets your tummy.
2. NEVER walk too far from a toilet once you have eaten said food - especially don't walk 5km from your house because your digestive system will inevitably want to get rid of said food - QUICK.
I don't think I have ever walked home so fast. In fact - I RAN up the hill.
I walked 6km last night!! Most of it was up hill as well! I am feeling fitter because walking up hills takes nowhere near the same amount of effort as it did a month ago. I walked about 2km and then I was busting to go to the toilet so I went back home and then decided I hadn't walked enough - so I went back out again!! I walked all the way to my Mum's house and arrived shortly after dark.
I walked up one HUGE hill and the sunset was glorious!!! The endorphins must have kicked in (combined with the uplifting song I had playing on my iPod) because I haven't felt that HAPPY and SATISFIED and PROUD in weeks. It was a great moment - a great motivator to keep going.
Off to cheat a little and jump on the scales - I wonder if it did anything....
Amy, not good to weigh yourself all the time, your weight really can fluctuate each day. Well done for 6kms! Very proud of you, hope you ate really well too!
Things here are good with me, I have saved 30 points this week and weigh in for WW is tomorrow morning. Of course I would never use them today! I don't have to anyway but they are there if I want a treat. To tell you the truth, after almost 4 weeks on WW, I don't even feel like having anything fatty or sugary. I do enjoy a glass of wine or a nip of bicardi with diet cola at night now and again. And of course I love those lolly snakes (4 is 1 point). I don't even miss chocolate and I haven't eaten it now for 4 weeks.
Anyway, feeling fantastic and mighty motivated, my willpower is strong.
I've lost a bit of weight. I think I've hit a plateau with it all considering how much I've lost so far, today I'm off to join the gym - a girlfriend is wanting out of the last few months of her contract so I'll take that over for her
