well I've bitten the bullet and ordered lite'n'easy (just breakfast, MT, lunch, AT) coz I'm being really slack about my eating at the moment. It will arrive on Thursday, so I'll start on Friday.
I'm going to the gym at lunchtime tomorrow.
I'd love to see how much more of this weight I can shift, or at least how much I can tone the bod in the next 6 weeks. I'm also going to see if I can get my Wii Fit on the weekend so I can exercise at home as well.
Queenbee I've got the WW scales with the bodyfat% and H2O% as well, I think that they are great.
Just did an hour walk and am feeling great, I hope that I've lost some this week with been naughty on the weekend, but I'm determined to lose all this excess weight and am not going to give up until I do.
hugs xoxo
I'm like that Amy - I look at how much I've lost & how much I've got left to lose and I think I can actually make it (and probably go to a lower weight):
I jogged for an HOUR - in the RAIN :dance:
Good luck for tomorrow everyone!!
Thanks Amanda! They are great aren't they! Got 6 months subscription of WW mag too with the purchase. I did call them though as it said it expired on 31 December 2008. But they are still going to send the mags to me! Nice WW! In my DP's name of course as members are not eligible, seems pretty dumb that doesn't it!
:( :( :( :doh:
I just can't get it together......have had a(an??) horrific day- hot chips, deep fried calamari, ice cream, can of soft drink...We went to the beach and my brother shouted us lunch. There were no healthy choices, just the fish n chips. And I felt bad to say no. I did exercise, swimming and walking alot, but still. I really doubt I will have lost anything this week, if not gaining what I've already lost. I dread weighing myself tomorrow...and I just feel yuck too. I have to go shopping cause I have no food left and no fruit or salad stuff.
You girls are all doing so well, I need some of your determination and will power! Good job everyone :)
C'mon lilias! You can do it! You have identified what you did wrong - now start tomorrow with a new determination!! You are doing well to come in here and confess - now at least pat yourself on the back for that :D
I have been good this week- I jumped on the scales the other day and they dipped into the 83kg range - woohoo! Haven't been that low since pre-Flynn!
Had chinese for dinner tonight but its my birthday so I have allowed myself 'a day off' so to speak. I figure this time if I let myself have treats occasionally Im more likely to stick with healthy eating and lifestyle in general. I dont think I will have lost much as I have had dinner out (but I only had a beef salad :D) a wedding (didnt worry about what I ate:shhh:) and my birthdya this week plus I am due for AF but I have exercised a lot so Im happy if i have stayed the same tomorrow will tell
well done for everone who is still here and trying to meet the challenge here is to a better week next week
Sararose- Happy Birthday although it will prob be a bit late by the time you read this.
Lilias- as someone pointed out to me the other day dont focus on 1 bad day look at the week in general with regards to eating/exercise and it may not be as bad as you think :)
Well i too am dreading the weigh in tomo. I was naughty and weighed myself 2 days ago whilst on the wii and it only showed a 300g loss but i havent been very good so i am worried that i will be the same or even heavier than last week BUT DH is back Fri morning so i am hoping to get back on track. The only real execise i have been able to do with him been gone is the wii fit so it will be nice to be able to get back to the gym properly :) Even if i do stay the same i will send in my figures to Lucy as i am serious about this challenge i have just had an emotionally hard week and it has reflected.
GL tomo everyone.
Queenbee - I've a set of Tanita scales that do weight, bodyfat %, H20, bone mass, visceral fat (amount of fat in your belly around all your organs) and biological age. They are awesome, best $ I've spent.
Lilias - YOU CAN DO IT GIRL!! Tomorrow is another day, another chance for you to make good food choices. Hang in there, we are all here cheering you on.
Amy - Woohoo on your jog! Great effort!
Roryrory - Woohoo for you too for the loss! I am still dreaming of being prebaby weight.
Sararose - Happy Birthday! I agree about not banning certain foods otherwise it is just too easy to go overboard with it. I've been allowing myself a few treats here and there and I try to remember to do a bit of extra exercise to make up for it.
Had a tough workout in Pilates class tonight. My hamstrings and hips are soooo tight, it makes some things difficult to do. Prebaby I was so much stronger and doing advanced level, now I'm back in beginners class :(
I did my measurements today as I don't know if I will have time tomorrow and I've lost 7cm this week :) But I have gained half a kilo :( Hopefully it's all muscle!
100g GAIN for me this week :(
Alcohol is NOT my friend and I think it proved once again to be my downfall this week. It's a bit frustrating because I have put so much hard work into my exercise routine this last week. I will be ramping it up this week and including jogging, light weights and resistence training. Now that I am stronger and fitter my walks are no longer challenging - so it's on to jogging for me!! That in itself is exciting.
My next goal is to get under 70kgs (currently 71.9). That would be AMAZING if I could do that in a week. It will be a challenge but I am ready for it.
Loss of 0.1kgs this week for me and 2.5cm off bust, waist and hips! I don't care how much I lose, as long as I have a loss! Walked heaps but did have some alcohol (bicardi) so I will try really hard not to drink this week. I think it is the alcohol that does it for me too Amy! But I was in my points range so am happy. Weigh in for WW is Saturday so hopefully I will lose some more by then!
Keep up the good work ladies.
xx
aamysarah you have been doing so much exercise it is likely you have lost fat but gained muscle mass, have you taken your other measurements? Well done on the jogging the c25k is killing me I am that unfit but I am so proud that I am doing it
Im off to weigh myself after aimee finishes feeding bbl
I've had a loss too this week. Very surprising as they scales through the week were showing gains.
When I used to go to my dietician, he put me on a maximum of 4 alcoholic drinks a week. I've tried to stick to this maximum, and usually have 2 on a friday night (when we usually go out) and one or two through the week. If there is something big on, I sometimes have one or two more, but not often. Some weeks, I'll only have the friday night drinks. With this and the rest of the low GI diet I am still losing weight...... just something to think about............
amysarah - you're going so well on the exercise, you probably have built up muscle. I wish I could find the time to add more exercise in.
I only did my short (original) walk this morning, I was short on time and thought something is better then nothing. I'll be able to have a go on the wii-fit tonight, so that should make up for it, although my thigh muscles are really hurting from sunday nights go.
All the best with your weigh ins. Remember it's your own personal journey, so everyone's results will be different.
OMG - I lost 1.3kg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I honestly thougth I wouldn't lose any this week but YAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
punkin, well done! i am really proud of you! :dance:
I still haven't measured at all yet!
Can someone please clarify (or point me in the right direction) as to which parts of my body to measure?
I should have started measuring a month ago but I will do my official measurements tonight and then compare next week. I do feel thinner, well LEANER, than I did a month ago so I think I am gaining muscle which is good! This week I am going to be incredibly strict on my diet and vigorous in my exercise - no more leisurely walks!! I am still as determined as ever.
I don't know how much I lost this week (coz I didn't weigh last week) but since the challenge started (NY day) I've lost 1.5kg. I know a lot of you have lost more than than since we started, but I'm just happy with a loss!
my dh's friend came over on monday and he said to dh (and later to me) that I have lost a lot of weight! thats good to hear! but I can't remember last time we saw him.
Whe I discovered that I'd lost the 1.5kg total, I treated myself to homecooked fish and chips. All oven cooked. But I did have too many chips, and had 5 salt and pepper squid:redface:.
Went for a 45 mins walk yesterday (was aiming for 1hr but it didn't end out that way). I'm going (hopefully) for a longer walk today, depending on what time ds wakes up.
Those of you who exersize (or walk in my case) in the morning, do you have any issues at night? I walk in the morning, around 8:30am, but then at night I have restless legs and a sore back in the evening and I find it hard to relax when I go to bed. anyone else?
Hooray, everyone is going so well! :dance:
I have had a slight loss this week, not too much but I feel a lot more toned so maybe it's just muscle (I hope :rolleyes:)
I'm having problems with my measurements though. According to the dreaded tape measure I haven't lost any cm's but my clothes are looser and I feel slimmer :wall:
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thankyou for all of the support girls :D
Well, as I suspected, I have ahd a gain, only 200g but imagine if I had have controlled my eating more...I would have lost at least a kg! I haven't measured myself yet, so I don't know if I've lost cm's wouldn't be surprised if I haven't though. Oh well, back to it today!
Congratulations to those of you who have had losses in cm's and weight! Good job!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I hate my body so much, I have been working so hard at my PT sessions, changing my eating habits and generally being good, and even though we had a couple of days away and I wasnt as careful with what I ate, i got on the scales this morning and in the space of the 3 days (naughty I know) since I weighed myself before we went away- I have gained 2.5 kg :o I am so disapointed. I have a feeling alot of it is fluid retention because I am due to O in the next day or so, but even so it is so disheartening to get on the scales and see the numbers HIGHER than when I started this challenge.
The good thing is though, instead of sending me on an eating binge it has made me more determined to get right back into it. I want this so badly, I just need my body to get the memo that it is weight loss time. I have now been hovering around the same weight for 12 months (within a couple of kgs either way) since DS was born, so I need to get my body back into weight loss mode.
Well I've gained weight but lost some cm's, so I'm pretty happy considering my eating hasn't been the best.
Ali, That sucks that you gained, but you've been doing so well with the exercise you must have put on a bit of muscle. And the best thing about that is muscle burns more energy than fat, so you'll probably start dropping the kg's very soon. How did you go on cm's?
Ambar, with the cm's not lost, I hardly lost any the first couple of weeks, but lost some this week. I think it's because I was losing from places we weren't measuring, like thighs and arms. Possible your doing the same thing.
Amysarah, I measure bust at the nipple line, waist at the belly button and hips at the biggest part of my bottom, for my my c/s line.
Well done to everyone!
Well done everyone :) Even with a gain or no loss you know you have been living a healthier lifestyle and at the end of the day that is what is important.
Amysarah i love you deterination.
Well as for me i only lost 0.3kg so a huge drop off from the last few weeks BUT its also been the worst week regarding food and exercise too. I lost 4.5cm though so not all bad i guess.
Keep it up everyone we are all doing SOOO WELLL and deserve to be proud of our results :)
Punkin that is an awesome loss congrats.
Amy you measure your bust (widest part, usually across the nipple area), waist (half way between your bottom rib and top of hip bone) and hips. HTH.
Well I only lost 100g and 3cm's total from bust, wasit and hips so not to bad. Will defineatly not be eating greasy food again.
hugs xoxo
1kg this week, I weigh on monday as this is my ww weigh in day and dont like to weigh twice, only 1cm lost lol. Af is due so might not have a loss next week.
Well done everyone who is still in the challenge
Girls, I am back.
I have all your pm's and I will enter it all into my spreadsheet and also go through my email.
Anyone who hasn't pm'd me with current weights and measures, please do so, as I will post results tomorrow!
Welcome back Lucy!
Awesome work everyone on making it through another week!!! :)
Well i lost nothing last week and this week seem to have gained... :( I haven't measured though, TBH i can't face seeing those numbers creeping up too...
I'm not too thrilled with this. I got up and went for a run at 6am today! I'm sick of my broken thyroid and the freezing weather.
