I'm back! I have to post this while I'm motivated. DH is sick (has been for a month now), DD is having her jabs tomorrow and DS is having a food challenge next week, life is mental but hey, when is a good time?? I've been putting off coming back, lurking & eating badly. I owe it to myself to eat better & exercise. BBL... I PROMISE!!!!
I did too, had about four mouthfuls of cereal this morning and then bolted for the scales, with DH looking at me like "what the?!" hehehehe:
i am not doing well after my 2 kg loss, i found that again and gained some xtra as well. i am 89 kg with no shoes and that is just scary !!!!!!
i feel discusting !!
i have been trying hard i thought. cutting down on snacks and having smaller meal sizes. so annoying to gain when i thought i was doing well and to top it off AF is not being nice to me at all at the moment. i hate her !!
i am trying extra hard from now on as trying hard isn't enough.
good luck guys.
sorry no personals, i am slack .
ok, i think i seriously effed up my measurements last time...
Thigh: 61cm 59cm
Hips: 107cm 106cm
Waist: 87cm 84cm
Bust:95cm 95cm
Upper arm: 38.5 36cm
ermm... might start again shall we! I did take the last lot of measurements with a peice of string and a measuring tap (industrial one ><;;) I have the real deal now!
LOL Helle, i find that mine vary up to 4cm depending on the time of day! Except upper arm, that one is hard because you don't always get the same spot on your arm! It helps if you look in the mirror while doing them, and even better if you can get someone else to do them for you (not that i would ever let anyone near me with a tape measure! LOL)
JBM- that sucks about your gain! I hope it all comes back off for you again soon!
AFM- i have been working it hard in the gym this week, a few shorter sessions than usual though to ease my way back in after the 2 week christmas break. I think i am going to start doing strength sessions every second day instead of every day and see what this does. I was getting a bit upset at the scales for not changing as quickly as i would like, but then Helle reminded me that my measurements are where i have been getting the most inspiration so i am going back to those goals instead! I also saw a GP today and am having a thyroid function test, cholesterol and diabetes tests tomorrow morning, i have to fast for 12 hours so here's hoping that this helps me out a bit, LOL! I would love to find that my thyroid is the reason i am not losing weight quickly and that some medication would fix that, somehow i think i am living in a dream bubble there though...
And Raupe- stalking stalking stalking, where are you?? We miss you!!
appletree: thanks for that. what an amazing job at the gym, i am doing nothing, maybe thats why i am gaining. lol. keep up the good work
hi everyone
afm: got bad AF and it's raining so much didn't even go outside yesterday, i will be back on track tomorrow i hope.
AF is here for me too, just not motivated when she is here... might take a few days off and wallow in my cramps!!
Appletree, you are so sweet. :hug:
My mum is here to visit (from Germany :D) and she'll be staying for another three weeks. So I won't be on BB much, but I'll sure be thinking of "ma peeps" :lol: My mum's a health freak anyway (she's a gym instructor :o) so you don't have to worry about me slacking off! She's on my case already lol.
How's everyone going?
HOw is everyone, this weather is RIDICULOUS and i haven't been able to get out for a walk but we haven't been eating too badly so hopefully i wont have a gain.
Hope everyone is safe and dry.
OMG Raupe! Talk about pressure!! How did you go when she got here? I know you were worried she thought you had lost a lot more weight? My mum has never been like that thankfully! She has always been the size 16 while her sisters where 8's and 10's so i think she is a lot more gentle with her suggestions for weightloss.
Well, i missed the gym yesterday and today! Really feeling bad now, but hopefully i will be able to go tomorrow instead. Yesterday i needed to get together with my SIL to talk strategy, my MIL has lost the plot completely and we needed a bit of a release so we could move on. Our nieces are staying with MIL with their Dad for 3 weeks as they live about 7 hrs away, so SIL and I decided we would take them to the movies so MIL could have a bit of a break. I was over at MIL's so i looked up the times with them and organised for their dad to drop them at the cinema (i don't have enough room in my car for them) and then messaged SIL to meet us there as well. Easy, right? Its just a trip to the movies! The girls are 11 and 13 so its not like its a huge deal. Well, MIL obviously thought so, or perhaps was offended that i hadn't involved her? Because the next day she actually called my SIL and I and told us that the other had cancelled! Seriously, WTF? Why would she do that?? She got completely caught out because i messaged SIL to tell her i was sorry she was sick, but i was going to take the girls anyway. What is wrong with this woman?? I will never understand what she had to gain by doing that? Then today i missed the gym again as i had to fast for 12 hours to have blood tests and it never even occurred to me that it wouldn't be a good idea to go straight to the gym! LOL.
Hope this weather clears up soon so you guys can all get out walking again, and AF is short and sweet for you all :) Its a pretty nice day today here, i should go and put some washing on!
appletree: i am sure one day of missing gym, you will recover from, good luck with your weight loss and don't be so hard on yourself, you can do it
zavara: todays the day for a walk. good luck and keep no being good.
raupe: maybe thats what i need my own personal gym instrucor, good luck with your mum and have fun.
starbright: AF is so nasty but she seems to be almost gone today, hope she isn't too nasty to you. good luck
AFM
well AF has almost gone. prob today she will be gone. thank goodness. then i have a break for a while. ha ha
i am going to get back into fitness now and prob do walks everyday . no i will do walks everyday !! i am telling myself. lol i am going to be good and try really hard.
starting today.
now af has gone no excuses for being slack. i feel fat and discusting and i am sick of feeling like that. i want to feel fantastic.
i am going to feel fantastic. 3 weeks time i have a goal.
The weather is gorgeous today but DP is home, he wants to do some gardening and cleaning and then have a BBQ for tea, so might make a yummy salad and just enjoy the day with my family.
Hope everyone is well, will completely understand if tomorrow is a bit of an off day with weigh ins.. i drowned my sorrows with toast and brown sugar last night :(
Ok guys! Weigh in tomorrow morning :) Who is joining me??
I am going to be doing some measurements tomorrow as well, so fingers crossed! I did some mid week ones just out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised, so here is hoping for some good ones tomorrow morning. Didn't make it to the gym this weekend, but do have a session booked for the morning.
ok I promised I'd be back and I am. I've drawn up a contract with myself - stated my goals, what I want to do, the timeframes, the rewards, the motivators - everything. Complete with fat & fit pics!
Baseline weigh-in is tomorrow and I feel like my brain has finally kicked into the right headspace for this. There never will be a right timeframe. DH is still sick and I still have two little munchkins who keep me busy, but hey, use or lose it. I saw a pic of myself today and I guess no-one usually takes pics of me cos OMG I was horrified. I thought I didn't look that bad, I did :(. And bubba-girl is 4 mths old now, that excuse is getting older by the day.
So Appletree, I'll be weighing in with you tomorrow, GL! Glad your mid-week ones were good, bodes well!
ZF - i have fingers crossed for a good resutl for you too. I think you're doing amazingly, 8kg so far, WOW!
JBM - feeling fantastic and walking every day sounds like a great idea, I'll be doing that too :)
Raupe - have a great time with your mum
Starbright - hope AF wasn't too nasty.
Ok I'm ready for tomorrow. I imagine i"ll have a few super dooper motivated days and then by the weekend might start to struggle - I'm prepared for it!
I'm weighing in but wont expect any miracles... see how we go.
It was 11 belfie but x-mas happened :rofl:
Keep up the great work everyone, life is short, lets make the most of it :)
well after what i thought would be a carppy week with no walking i lost 400g 94.9kg on the scales this morning :dance:
A loss is a LOSS right.... am going for a walk today if it doesn't rain (pls pls pls i need a walk), i did fit 3 rides in on the exercise bike this week that i completely forgot about..
Will try and fit more this week if we get more crap weather.
Hope your all well and the numbers on the scales please you ;)
Oh oh and i FINALLY found a PRETTY weight loss ticker.. check out Lilyslim
Nice ticker ZF.
No change from me again....sigh.
Time to pick it up again. But saying that, the weather did keep me indoors last week and a cranky DD meant no zumbaring either. Now to find motivation to get walking this week.
