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.

Hope everyone else is having a good week!

Well done on all the excercise girls, I am getting in a walk every day and some times go out for a extra one. last night I went for a cycle to the shop with my DH I was so nervous as it was dark and I think the last time i was on a bike it was about 2 years ago. I felt great though oh and i did some tummy exercises with the kids they thought it was great as well.

hopefully ill see a loss this week as well.

Rhianon - I exercise before eating breakfast. My theory is that my body will use all it's fat stores for fuel whereas if I ate breakfast first, it would use that for energy and then I'd be hungry again really quickly! If I have to eat first, I'll wait about an hour before exercising.

OMG where is everyone????

I miss the busy thread Well having an OK day here ate reasonable well although did take the girls to macca's and i did have a med chips but i resisted a burger and drink and had a garden salad and water to go with it so i guess that's an accomplishment for me I also did a whole hour on the wii fit freestyle step plus and managed to do 6000 steps. I also did 2 sets of 12x lunges, bicep curls, squats etc and a few other bits with my 2kg weights which aren't feeling half as heavy as they used to.

Well feeling very good about myself today which is awesome as generally i am a bit hard on myself but i went and had a Brazilian, Full Leg and Eyebrow wax then had my hair coloured so i feel like a brand new woman. Also my clothes are feeling better on. They are by no way too big but my love handles/muffin top isn't as obvious and i am generally just feeling more comfortable in them. I wonder if DH will notice the change in me when he comes home Fri. I think i will be a little disheartened if he doesn't. On the phone last night though he asked me if I'd broke 70kg which was my mini goal b4 he came home and i said i hadn't weighed in yet. He then said "oh well you'll still look big to me anyway as all the vietnamese girls are tiny" I mean WTF I know he didn't mean it nastily but still to say that to me when he knows how hard i am trying is really horrible. Needless to say i went to bed feeling a bit sorry for myself.

Is everyone who is not posting still doing the challenge? I know Daintree and HP's mum have left BB but where is everyone else?

Hoody, I'm here! You are doing sooo great, good job! Adn the point of eating healthily is to make it a life change, so if going to maccas is a part of your life, then you need to figure out a way to healthliy incorporate that into your routine. By getting a med chips and a salad, that's a healthy way to have time out at maccas!

I have had another bad day and am feeling pretty crappy!
I just can't seem to get back on the horse! I did exercise though, a 45min walk to the shops lugging 7.5kg DS in the ergo, then I cleaned our balcony which hasn't been cleaned in about 2yrs! I scrubbed it with the broom and detergent as well as the 2 big double door sliding doors we have going out to the balcony. It was FILTHY! But not anymore That was really good exercise too! But I really need to get back to eating healthily. An not just for me but for DD to, when I eat badly she wants the same foods I eat which is so not good when I'm eating maccas or chocolate. But when I eat healthy foods she wants those, so I have to get back to it! I seem to have replaced healthy eating with exercise and can't seem to coordinate the two!

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

[queenbee]

punkin, have a good time at the gym today! that is good that you are taking over someone's contract! enjoy

[Aimz]

Didn't end up weighing myself - I want it to be a surprise for next Wednesday!

I'm up for another huge walk tonight - I'm actually really excited about it!!

[Amity]

Woohoo!

Well done all of you! We're doing so well! Keep it up!

I went for a walk/run with a friend, and then did stairs out the front of my house for about 10 mins... oh my aching butt....

hmmm trying to work out the logistics of that one considering you've only got about 3 or 4 steps - but then again I'm sick atm and I'm flat out working out which way is up!

I got exercise yesterday crawling between my bed & the toilet!

[queenbee]

it is always the first couple of weeks for me that is the hardest then it is no issue at all, i actually WANT to go every day now. enjoy ur walk tonight then

[MrsFabuloso]

I've had a bad few days . DH is a huge problem for me. When he's home I just eat crap with him. He tells me not to but still goes on to eat it in front of me. Not helping!! I put on 200g overnight, only 200g which is good and DH is back at work for a few days. I went for a huge walk with DS in the ergo and DD in the pram, so that was excellent that I got off my big butt and got moving. I feel great. And it has made me so much more productive for the day.

Ok, a strange request- I need foods that are high calorie and low fat. According to calorieking, I still have 400+ calories, 14g protein and 45g of carbs to eat. But only 2g fat.....so waht can I eat? And please don't say tuna! I have already had tuna for lunch and will have some tuna on crackers for a snack later. I don't even know if I could fit in more food! Or we're having chicken satay for dinner with rice and steamed veg, how could I make that higher calories without fattening it up too much?
