hahahahah now I thought I would be the only one too stingy to buy a proper measuring tape

At least we are committed hehehehhe They are only about $1 from a cheap shop of supermarket... I will buy one tomorrow.

Well done to everyone who has stuck at it for the 1st week YAY

Hi Ya Girls.

I've been offline at home as my computer is very sick and at the drs being repaired at the moment. I think it has a trojan something. We even have Trend Micro and is up to date and all, yet it still got sick. I'll be getting it back soon.

I had a dismal weekend when it comes to working out. I couldn't go to the gym as DH worked on the weekend and last night we had family over for a bbq. I avoided eating bbq by help feed DD but mum caught on to the fact that i was delaying eating. I then had to eat. I did over indulge a bit i must add and feel real guilty for it.

I had very little loss this week, only about 500g but the cms are down a bit. I hate losing the final kgs as it is really hard to get rid of. Anyone got any tips??

LOL on the fishing wire and builders tape. I must admit that it did take me awhile to buy a tape measure too as its not something you easily remember to buy when you are out shopping.

I am also ashamed to admit that i have two bathroom scales in the bathroom. I use them both and weigh myself everyday

My fat percentage has gone down to 29.94%, which is still pretty bad though. My jeans are getting a little more loose, but i want to see the scales go down!

I'll be hitting the gym tonight, can't wait! I'm going to do double the workout for not being able to go on the weekend. I am a naughty girl.

BBL to do personals. keep up the good work..

Morning! I am soo suprised by my loss - maybe I should be sick more often, my body must be burning more calories to fight it, I have NEVER lost more than half a kilo in a week and I've lost almost 3 times that. Not that many cm's though - 2 off my boobs, 1 off the waist, none off the hips (typical) Ah well, I'd love to be able to get back into a D cup, none of the pretty mainstream bras go to DD. Think by looks of it most of it off the lower part of my tummy which I didn't measure so don't know what there. Bracing myself for a plateau next week though as a result, but after 5 months of being depressed about not losing ANY baby weight, am very happy to see the start of results.

**Cougar** · May 12th, 2009, 11:34 AM

when do we weigh ourselves today or tomorrow?

**Turkish Delight** · May 12th, 2009, 11:40 AM

That's a fantastic loss Sas. You should be really proud of yourself

I am very jealous though

i thought we weigh and measure each Tuesday morning and email Trillian to post on Wednesdays.

**Cougar** · May 12th, 2009, 11:42 AM

thanks turkish, better go find that tape measure

**The[cookie]Doctor** · May 12th, 2009, 11:43 AM

Yes Sas when you are sick or post-surgical procedures your body uses fat to fight infection and keep you going, so congratulations! Sounds great. Don't prep yourself for a plateau it's only more likely to happen, positive affirmations girl!!

Aaamy was it you that asked about the Mexican? Yup I love it, mostly because I havent eaten rice in almost 2 years and I have had real cravings for it, has been great it really keeps my body going and going.

at you girls with the string and measures! Isabel is right, at least you are committed. If you both PM me your addresses I will send you a measuring tape

(although I say that I will forget to buy them when I go out, part of your problem

)

Turkish 500gm is still fantastic. Healthy weight loss is said to be 1% of your body weight per week so if you are almost at the end thats not too dismal. IKWYM about it taking forever though. I remember back when I used to sit at 65kg... I finally got to 60kg and felt great... then started taking the pill and the weight piled on.

I haven't weighed or measured yet. I have been using the Wiifit everyday though so have a fair idea it's not going to be a good one. I lost 500gm at the beginning of the week and then put on 700gms... so I would say it is a gain but I guess we will see. I blame my bad weekend, but we all have slip ups and it just makes us work harder!

Looking forward to seeing the results.

**belfie** · May 12th, 2009, 12:21 PM

well I've already sent my results in, but I have since done two BIG no.2s... can't help but wonder if I weigh less now!!!!!

Sorry but I just had to share that!

Turkish Delight - go girl using the Wii Fit everyday, that's impressive! I shall have to aspire to that... I'm also with you on weighing everyday . I find sometimes I just have a huge variation for no apparent reason at all - fluid retention I guess

. If I only weigh myself once a week it can be very discouraging, but when I weigh most days, I know if I'm heading the right direction or not.

Sas - that's great loss, well done!

cherished1 - lol on the tape measure!!! hahaha!

AmandaJ - congrats on the cm's lost... we can do it!!!

Belfie

I know what you mean about the #2's! I think the same thing hahahahha but then I just think 'oh well next week there will be an even bigger loss on the scales' heheheh

SugarDust · May 12th, 2009, 01:21 PM

I cant seem to PM TRILL her pm box is full

**The[cookie]Doctor** · May 12th, 2009, 01:27 PM

You need to email her.

It is sherie @ you know the rest.

**Beautitude** · May 12th, 2009, 01:46 PM

Just went to the supermarket to get a few things for dinner and my tape measure and i came home without the tape measure. Woops! Maybe net time lol.

**Vixstar** · May 12th, 2009, 01:53 PM

Busy, busy, busy here! I have not had time to log on and keep up with what everyone is doing. Have not read any posts since my last one either. Sorry.

Weigh in for me is tonight.....NOT looking forward to it at all. I went for a big walk last Thursday but nothing since and I have tried really hard to watch my eating. Def have not been nibbling on the kids meals etcas that was my lifestyle change for this week and ever after! I can feel AF gearing up too so my belly is going to be bloated this week. what a week to weigh in! Pfftt...always the next three months. lol

I really need to get my wiifit out and use it. I love it but find it is time consuming to get to the bits I want. Today though I am running around the house - literally - movingthe office back into the lounge room so my youngest can go back intohis own room andstop walking up his big brother! Little monkey....well best get back to it! So much crap...need the big bins emptied today!

Any tips though for loosing the wobble wobble around the belly?????? Surely salad alone aint gonna shift it!

Go girls!!!

xxxx

Hmmm, so its the end of week one.....

I can't say i have done much in the way of excercise, once on the excercise bike one morning is all i can really say i have done i think as i didn't get to physie last night as DH didn't get home till just as it was starting. I did think about getting up each morning and did have my alarm set earlier than usual so i could get up whilst DH was getting ready for work and go for a walk but it just didn't happen. Hopefully week 2 will bring the next step of the plan into action- ie. actually getting up when the alarm goes off and doing something.
Food wise, i have stoppped most of my after dinner snacks/treats, I've just had the occassional one here or there.
I guess i should trottle off and do some measurements and send them in.....

...can't say i am expecting too much, although congrats to those of you who have started off with guns blazing and are seeing results already

well i dunno, but I started with WW (a little while ago lol) and i've lost about 4kg. Interestingly my WAIST measurement has barely changed... but my pot belly / jelly belly / spare tyre (whatever you wanna call it

) was going down massively - 8cm down so far. So I figure the salads are helping. Mind you, I'm a "put weight on waist" kinda person too. So for this challenge I'm not measuring my waist, but my tummy since that's the one I really need to get down, and it seems to be changing quickest anyway!

I know they say you can't "spot lose" so to speak, but i'm sure all over weight loss & toning (including around the belly area) has to help!

**ktgirl** · May 12th, 2009, 08:48 PM

Just trying to catch up in here with every ones progress. Sounds like there has been some cms lost. You girls made me laugh about the string and builders tape measure.

Sas- sounds like you had a great loss! Well done

Belfie- I have been measuring around the tummy too as this is where I need to lose my weight from. Sounds like you have done really well so far on WW

Kas- Lol at the alarm going off but not getting up. Sometimes I wish I could just switch it off on bootcamp mornings too.

Vicstar- That is great you have stopped picking at the kids food. Its all about baby steps, good work!!

AFM haven't been eating that well the last couple of days (since Mother's day) I need to get really strict again. I am a bit bummed at myself because earlier in the week I saw a loss of 1.3kg but after a few bad days it is down to 700g loss but it is still a loss I guess. Bootcamp again tomorrow morning so going to head to bead early tonight as I have to get out of bed at 4:45am to get ready and go

I just have to send my results to tril before I head to bed.

Will try and do more personals soon.
