50kg+ to lose

Good afternoon ladies

Well I weighed in this morning and my scales suck!! 6 times I weighed and I got 4 different numbers :doh:

I am going with the one I got 3 times which was 99.8kg so a 900gm loss this week :clap::clap:
Yea baby I am in the double numbers never to see the triples again!!
But I have made an executive decision, im am not going to weigh myself at home anymore.
When I joined the gym the took all my measurements and numbers and I am supposed to check in every four weeks to keep myself on track. Well with xmas and me falling off the wagon I didnt get back to check in so I am going to do it this week and then stay four weekly.
The scales are there to jump on if I need some reassurance that im doing the right thing but I felt quite disappointed this morning about my scales playing up, not been right and I dont want to get hung up on the numbers.
I know in myself that I dont really care what the scales say its how my clothes feel and the size of the clothes that matter to me more.
I am currently a 16-18 and would love to be a big 12 small 14 so thats my goal. What ever I happen to weigh when I get there is the weight I am happy to be.

Ok long winded post over. :rolleyes:
Congratulations to all the losses everyone, "weigh" to go!! :lol:
Dont stress about the cake too much Catherine. It was her birthday you had to share some. I have 4 of my kids birthdays coming up over the next two months so I know my willpower will be tested but I know I can do it.

Woo hoo awesome girls
I have lost 1.1kg this week so that is 3.4kg so far..

hmmmmmm not sure what I'm doing.......

Starting at 94.4
This week 95.6kg......

body is currently doing slightly weird things - spotting & light flow - longer than I'm used to, but I'm also on Implanon and BFing (19mth old) so not sure if it's the first AF actually still trying to happen or if the Implanon is starting to play around with me or not. (I tend to weigh daily and weight has stayed at 95.6 since Tuesday :dunno:)

---

Start: 94.4kg
last week: 95.6kg
This week: 91.4kg
Loss to date: 3.0kg

(eventual) Target: ~70kgs
(2011) Target: ~80kgs


SO total 3kg lost but 4.2kg in one week lost ?????? and I didn't really do anything ????? :confused:

Still have weird spotting/flow here - if it keeps going for much longer I might head to GP and get the implanon out and see if that changes anything (only 2 days since the 29 Jan that haven't had some spotting or flow :( - that goodness I'm using cloth pads - otherwise it'd be a fortune soon on pads - 15 days out of the past 17)

Will admit to lots of stairs at school helping and I'm doing more than 10 000 steps a day closer to 12 000 :dance:

Think I might start to do measurements as well to see where I'm loosing it - think it might be tummy but that's going on my jeans that weren't washed between wears (I find my jeans get comfy-er between washes if I wear them a couple of times :redface:)

Oh man I have fallen off the wagon :S We have been away on a short holiday and ate disgusting amounts of food. Doesn't help at all. So I am throwing myself back onto the wagon. Starting tomorrow, morning walks along the beach hopefully progressing to jogging. Wish me luck!

Oh and some advice pretty please. I am still tossing around the idea of joining either Jenny Craig or weight watchers?? Or should I do this on my own??

Twinkle i have done both and lost weight on both but i found when i went off Jenny Craig i put it all back on and more.
If you have the will power to do it yourself then go for it, i know WW has a new program but i am not sure how it works. I am using My fitness pal to keep track of my calories, it is free and also has some great advice and support.
Good Luck

It's been a very quiet week in here!

I weighed in every day this week, and although I ate quite well I had lost only 100g.... Until today when I weighed in at 103.5 which is 900g gain.

It's so bizarre that I am contributing this weird week to AF which is just starting.

It feels quite disheartening as I only had 1 cheat meal for the whole week - my week was as close to a perfect food week as I get.... But no real loss during the week. The fact that I ate so well all week with no loss and then today a 900g gain makes me think it's AF as I do often gain 1-1.5kg during this time.

Oh well, I'll keep trying but hopefully a better result next week!

In positive news, I went shopping yesterday and bought 2 size 16 dresses (in 2 different stores, 1 myer, 1 portmans, so am taking it as an indication I can now buy 16's generally) - can't wait for winter when I gets to throw away my size 18 jeans and buy some awesome size 14's!

Bah Humbug! I didn't lose this week, so Time to get serious!

I will admit I totally fell off the exercise wagon last week. Time to start a fresh.

Was (Nov 2010)143.5

NOW - 129 kgs (same as last week)

I think we may all have lost heart a bit this week! I didn't weigh in this morning, so will do so tomorrow morning (an am not holding out any hope for this week...at best it will be no change!). AF def makes herself known Tammie. and WOOHOOO size 16 dress from a 'regular' store! Very nice.

My week started off ok, I even went to a 'clogging' class on thursday (and worked up a sweat, while having some fun). But I started getting a cold, and whilst I think I have killed it before it has taken hold, I am sooooooooo tired. Today esp.

I'll check in in the morning.

Sweet dreams all.

Another :dunno: week here - I'm starting to think DS has stuffed my scales with his playing on them - 95.7kg this morning :wall: and I've been doing a fair bit of walking around school - sooo not liking the stairs at school, (and 2 lots of waterbabies classes with DS this week - had a catch up lesson). My food wasn't that crap either. :( still spotting so will be trying to get into GP later this week or early next week to see if that's a problem. Will also book into Hypoxi body boutique (got a Cudo voucher for 3 sessions quite cheap a couple of weeks ago to see how that goes)

Start: 94.4kg
last week: 91.4kg
This week: 95.7kg
Loss to date: 1.3kg gain :wall:

(eventual) Target: ~70kgs
(2011) Target: ~80kgs

Also think I'm going to have to start measuring, especially if DS has actually stuffed the scales - see how I go fitting that in to do tomorrow. (Yr9 Maths tests to mark tonight and hang some nappies yet)

Dont lose heart ladies, At least were trying to improve ourselves, we will all have good and bad weeks.
last week I gained .3 but this week I lost 1.4kg yee haa. :dance:
Ill read everyone post later i have to get up in 5 hours good night and good luck.

FEIJOA conts on double figures :clap::clap:

:)
cough cough
i think abc 2 will be helping me out today.

Congrats Fei!!!! That's awesome.

Catherine, I hope you feel better soon.

Congrats to you too Tracy.... I meant to put it on the last post but accidentally hit the submit button (I'm on my iPad so just bumped the screen).

Oops.

Well we're off to swimming this morning so better go!

We went for a walk in the sunshine - very healing!

I hear you on the loss of mo-jo this week

I dunno what it is but I kinda always do this to myself. Usually though I hit the 6 week mark before I start to fall off the wagon. Best buckle my belt and hold on tight to this ride as I am determined to lose this weight, damn it!!!

So I havent weighed in this week because of my dodgy scales but I am certainly noticing some loose movement in my clothes :clap:
Plus a friend I hadnt seen for a few weeks commented that I had lost weight and she could definately see it in my face.
Thanks chick, I will take that :p

Dunno if you ladies read my other post but on Sunday I went for a walk nice and early so it was cool, and I saw a Snake!!! Enough to make me give up walking I reckon but I wont, I will just change my route thats all. I will not use this as an excuse even though I freakin hate snakes!

Pep talk time ;)

Catherine dont be hard on yourself. That is where I think "oh f^%k it I have gained I may as well give up"
Dont do that, I hope you feel better soon and be back in the swing in no time.

Go Tracy go you good thing. You are certainly moving in the right direction. Well done.

Tammie awesome news about the size 16's. You must be very pleased with yourself. :clap:

Leckert dont stress about it too much. My scales are crap too which is why I have given up on them for now. I am going to concentrate on my clothes telling me how I am going.

Kimmi, we know when we havent done what we need to and sadly so do the scales. Not to worry though, ramp up the exercise and see what next week brings

Twinkle I did weight watchers years ago and did manage to lose 20kgs. It worked well for me then but I have five kids now and cant be bothered counting points etc but it has changed now so it maybe better

Sorry if I have missed anyone but I have a baby on the boob and a toddler running around so my concentration isnt at its premium :rolleyes: (like it ever is hahaha)

Keep up the fantastic work ladies, have a great week

Do you ever walk around the Lake Stacy? We are moving to camira in a few weeks, and I'm looking forward to having more local places to walk at :)

Yip all the time Kimmi, I take DS all the time too cause he loves the parks around it.

That wasnt where I saw the snake so I think I will stick to that walk from now on.
I only live a two minute walk away from it so I dont have any excuses really.

Woohoo on the move, we can be each others Commando :whip::whip::whip:
