[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

traveller... hopefully you will get one of the other offers.
I am not great with comfort food either but lately i find if i WANT to eat i have been having something like yoghurt & muesli, even if it IS 10pm at night OR today i made the girls fruit icy poles, put some of it in a shallow dish and scraped it just after setting.. mmm mmm mmm

Am about to do the updates i have.
Anyone NOT on the list please let me know, otherwise your name will just be listed with no details as all my old stuff is gone

[didispunk]

OK i am ready to be added in!! I have been doing WW for 5 weeks i think now.. so i am going from there..

HI TO ALL!

[appletree]

Welcome didispunk!! How do you find WW? Is it expensive? Is it very motivating?

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Didispunk, will add you in
How is everyone going?

We had a b'day party today so we went and got the girls santa photo's done, then we went to the party THEN i went and did my food shopping so did LOTS of walking and it was getting late so i bought hungry jacks
BUT i did only eat healthy salad roles at the party, no cake and 1 small glass of champagne
Also i managed to squeeze my fat butt into my size 16 jeans they felt a little tight at the start but they are the awesome target stretch ones and within an hour were PERFECT, one of the MG girls AND a friends mum both commented i looked like i'd lost MORE than 5kg

So what else is news?

[Ginger]

had pizza for dinner tonight, but i've been pretty good all week so i think that one night off is ok!
am planning on getting up early tomorrow morning and doing some exercise before the kids get up

zf- it's nice when people notice your weight loss

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Exercise sounds good, but my kids get uop b/w 5 & 6 so no hope of me getting up before them..
I got that exercise DVD from the library so i think tomorrow morning we might do that, DP is off getting drunk tonight for x-mas parties and wont be home so before we go get him from his mums i might fit that in

[Ginger]

wow your kids do get up early! mine are usually up anytime between 7.30 and 9.00am so sometimes i sneak in some exercise before they wake, just depends how tired i am from the night before.

lucky dh going to xmas parties tonight but i'm sure he'll have a sore head and be feeling sorry for himself tomorrow LOL

[didispunk]

I personally LOVE WW.. I have done it prior to having DS and lost 30kg in 4 months.. Its realistic.... that you can have a drink. you can go to friends for dinner.. you can eat basically the same as your family does... no microwaving meals.. no having to cook 10 different things at night.. AND I LOVE that every thursday night at 530pm i have to jump on those scales and answer to the WW lady.... I pay 13$ a week to go..

Plus I go to Curves 6 days a week.. work my butt off.. and burn 500-700 calories in 27 min! ITS FULL on when you push yourself otherwise people can be very slack on the machines if they want too!!

Thanks for the welcome!!! its nice!

I loved Curves... i went before i fell PG with DD1.

[MummaSue]

Omg, I am such a tool. Didn't realise there was a new thread and have been waiting waiting waiting for updates on the thread

Hehe, going well here. Am going to cut dairy out this week, see how I go. The week i did that when DD was diagnosed with reflux I lost 1.2kg! It was easier that I thought it would be too.

Don't think I've lost a huge amount this week though. Tomorrow will tell!

[ss_storm]

jumped on the wii fit scales this morning and I haven't lost anything this week. I can tell I'm losing cm though (or maybe 'a' cm..lol). Have a size 14 pair of shorts with a belt that I used to only do up halfway, now I'm on the last hole so soon they might not fit at all! And my new boardies I wore the first time a few weeks ago, the buttons kept popping undone, now they stay done up all day. I dont think my 'baby' belly is as big either and its getting easier to suck it in

Raining today so probably won't be able to go for a walk Have given myself a day off from my hard core "My Workout" exercise, I've done it everyday this week so figure I can have a rest today. Have done a bit of mowing the last two days so that's a bit of extra exercise that should make up for it.

[appletree]

Wow didispunk, what are you doing to burn of cals that quickly?? That is fantastic! 30kgs in 4 months with WW is amazing, maybe its time i joined as my eating is really out of control.

ss_storm- that is brilliant news, bet you are feeling great I am the same, haven't been losing kgs just yet, but losing lots of cms everywhere! Hoping it all adds up soon, i tried on some of my work suits the other day to see how far i am getting and they are still a little tight...

MummaSue- I did the same with DS's reflux, but managed to gain 3kgs in a week because i decided to overcompensate with other things! Oops. I also gave up chocolate, caffeine and diet coke and somehow was still managing to gain weight!

Ginger- can we please swap kids! DD was a late sleeper, but DS is an early riser and wakes her up! Gaaggghhh, no chance of me getting up before them either

ZF- great job with the jeans! Bet you were looking HOT! Glad you got some nice feedback from your MG about your weightloss so far! Good luck with your exercise video, one thing that i learnt really early on when i started exercising was that i never ever regretted doing the exercise once it was done, i always felt fantastic and was very proud of myself, so the next time i was thinking about doing it again i reminded myself how good i always feel and it was enough to motivate me to get up and do it.

[Raupe]

Hey ladies! Sorry that I've been MIA. I've been working flat out the last few days from 10am to 9pm. I didn't even have time to exercise. But I work in a busy nursing home kitchen and have to run around all day like a crazy chicken. I don't even have time to sit down for 5 min! Sooo...that counts as exercise, doesn't it? I'm always all sweaty and exhausted afterwards! So surely I'm burning cals! hehehe

My eating is pretty good. Even my Wii board seems happy with me! But of course I've got my stupid period so my weight will be all over the shop come weigh in day... Well, tomorrow will tell.

But enough of my babbling.
ZF: Great job with your jeans! I'm sure you looked smokin!!
Didispunk: Firstly, Welcome!! Secondly, 30kg?!? WOW! In such short time? That's amazing!!
Appletree: There might be a valid reason why you put on weight when you cut out dairy. Latest research has shown that dairy lines your stomach and reduced fat absorption. They tested it on this guy - one week he only ate dairy-free meals, the next week he ate meals of the same calorie count, but rich in low-fat dairy. They tested how much fat his body absorbed in week 1 and week 2. Turns out that he absorbed wayyy less fat in week 2 (dairy rich meals) than he did in week one. Pretty cool! So go the smoothy I say!!
Ginger: Welcome!! I wish you all the best with your weight loss!!

REPORTING DAY
Today is the day to get your 'results' in, have you had a loss, stayed the same or is your 'fitness level' improving, please PM me your update.


TRY SOMETHING NEW CHALLENGE:
With your update can you let me know ONE thing your going to try this week thats a little new, be it an exercise, a recipe or eating chocolate all week

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

How is everyone going, hope you all had a great weekend.

Sat we had a b'day party but i was good in eating salad rolls, no cake BUT it went down hill when we were running late home and we bought HUNGRY JACKS... but in my defence i went with the chicken wrap

Then yesterday while DP was hung over we went to his mums work's fete, sausages in bread and these CUTE little cake ball things.. OMG!

Kate and i didn't get to walk Friday due to weather and i think that combined with my poor food choices the last couple of days has not helped me this week!

I have had a GAIN - up to 98.9 BUT i think i am loosing CM's although DP says i'm not.. i am not worried though and i am still working at this, it's a life style change, it's not a DIET and i want to see LONG LASTING results not quick losses that i gain again in 6mths time

Hope everyone else is seeing a loss today

[MummaSue]

Woo hoo!! Another small loss this week!
