    zavara suggested i come in here if it isn't too late ?
    i have lost about 2 kg in the last few months but since last year i have lost 7 kg since july last year so it is a slow process for me. very slow !!
    but at least i'm moving forward.
    i've got my step daughters wedding in feb and i need to loose some more before then so i don't look FAT on the big day.
    i am currently about 87 kg and need to loose 3 kg min in 6 weeks . so 1/2 kg a week.

    any suggestions to help would be good

    have a good christmas to all.

    Welcome JBM! There's heaps of support in here.

    I found my fitness pal dot com to be wonderful in helping me keep track of what I was eating, I think a few of us are using it, and runkeeper dot com for exercise activities. I love what ZF states - it's not a diet, it's all about getting fit and healthy. We're all here to cheer you on!

    JBM hun
    For me i've found walking and eating work... weird combo right.. i need to snack on healthy foods and keep up a bit of exercise, i'm starting to add in some time on the exercise bike and will be trying the Zumba DVD's.. actually might give them a quick shot this arvo.. ahh that could be a laugh
    Lots of water and as i've previously commented to you i've cut out softdrink and cordial and only have them if we go out... PRMG is right i have decided this is NOT a diet, it's a lifestyle change.. i can still have chocolate and cake and yummy things i just need to make the conscious decision as to whether i WANT or NEED them first... when i do have them man do i enjoy them

    The ladies in here are all wonderful, very supportive and i couldn't have gotten this far without them

    You're doing a fantastic job, ZF

    Braved the rain and went for a walk to get milk, only got rained on briefly so that was okay. Had a roll for lunch, wow how excitement. Not much going on here really, zumba'd yesterday but the old muscles are feeling a bit tight today. Hope everyone is well.

    Merry Christmas to everyone! My scales need the battery replacing so I am taking this as a sign to stop weighing in over Christmas and get back to it in the new year! Have a wonderful day on the 25th

    Merry Christmas everyone!!!

    Have a fantastic holiday we are away from Christmas day on holiday so I am going to do my best not to gain 3kgs like last time!

    I don't think I am going to make my goal by tomorrow, fingers still crossed though, only made it to the gym once this week and had maccas twice! Have been super good all other times though, so still some hope. About to go to the shops with DF now so highly likely it won't end well!

    Hi guys, how was everyone's Christmas?? We had a fantastic day and am now on holidays

    Enjoying some time in the sun, trying to fit in some type of exercise each day and sticking to much smaller meals with lots of small treats. Tomorrow I am going kayaking on the lake as my exercise, really looking forward to it as I used to do it competitively as a kid when we lived in the US. I managed to get myself massively burnt the first day of hols though, so will be making sure to keep myself well covered up!

    Hope you guys are all well!

    oh my gosh, i feel like i've stacked on about 10kg over the weekend I didn't really eat that much stuff, it was only us so we didn't have nibblies, BUT I did make chocolate mousse for xmas day dessert, which made enough to almost fill 5 wine glasses...and DF had a little bit for dessert, but it seems it is now my mission to finish it..I know, I know, it's called resisting the call of the chocolate, but i think i would be heartbroken if I ended up throwing it all out
    My tummy seems to have expanded wayyyy out..Df has been coming on my morning walk too, which means I don't walk as far or as fast as I normally would. Did get back into the exercise vids today though, and am trying to remember to do some sit ups sometime during the day. I think I've just gone two steps forward and now ten steps back. stupid christmas, getting in the way of my good intentions!

    but i think i would be heartbroken if I ended up throwing it all out
    Oh I hear you on that!! It's like, well, I've gone to all this effort, it'd be a waste to throw it away....hence me eating the last of the pavlova last night

    I never ate so much that I felt bloated or full, so I guess that was a good thing. Going to get back into it over the next day or two. DH is home at the moment for a few days so trying to get him motivated too, but we're finding it much too fun to play call of duty into the wee hours of the morning. Hmmmm, bad pattern starting here

    DH and I took DD and our dogs for a walk yest in the bush. We haven't been since DD was born so the dogs loved it and I loved it. Took bub in the carrier which worked well, but has inspired me to get a new one. I've wanted an Ergo forever so just gonna order it. Was great to get out and smell the fresh air. With all the rain there is so much growth. If you don't look up you can't even tell it was decimated in the bush fires.

    My weight loss has been slow but steady so i am still happy with it, and haven't gained any over Chrissie so that is nice.

    Kate hun i am thinking of leaving the girls with their nan tomorrow and maybe we can go for an 'adult' walk.. your welcome to bring DD with you though, are you free for a walk.. or did you want to stick to town.. I think Ava is going to KILL me if she knows i'm going to see you guys but it sounds so nice out there.
