Congrats DC - that is super exciting! I wish you a happy and healthy pg.
Thanks everyone. I have emailed WW now to see what i can do, at least if i can suspend it for 10-12m to do it later on.
I am going to do my best to try and lose weight while I am pregnant, obviously not rapidly but at my weight it is not going to be unhealthy to lose something.
Congrats DragonCookie all the best for a HH 9 months or so.
Well the cool change has just hit Melbourne so I might go for a walk round the block very soon.
I have pulled up sooo sore after yesterdays class, but i guess no pain no gain, (or should i say loss?) we are going back on tuesday for another class this time its kick boxing.
Hope everyone is having a health weekend. Weigh in for me is monday night 9pm
I'm oing this thread, i have 25kg's to lose to regain my pre- preggers weight (currently about 85)
i am a member at the gym, went there like crazy befre christmas, lost 5kg and a few cm's, christmas came and i put it all back on again.
i am a big time boredom eater, and i lack motivation. nice partnership hey.
so count me in!
My last post was much longer than what seems to be showing for me... (not sure if it's just a tapatalk defect though). I just wanted to welcome Frantelle and also suggested that we weigh in each Monday. If we all post starting weights tomorrow and our updated weight it might help make us more accountable and motivated to make our numbers smaller each week. What do you think?
Great idea Tammie, how about also giving a brief run down on what you plan on doing different this week or if you achieved your weekly goal from last week, ie extra 10 mins walking, more water, or what you are proud of... Small goals with quick end dates are great for the self-esteem and keep things positive.
Sounds good to me. Now I just have to brave the scales. Hoping to stay motivated I need to lose this weight for my DS he needs a healthy environment. I also dont want to be the fat mum when he goes to school. I will not have my son be ashamed of me.

Oh Oh, I'm keen for Monday weight in's. That would be great to write our starting weight (and date) and new weekly weight. I also like the plan for what are doing for the week...
I'll be posting tomorrow morning before work!
Let's all brave the scales in the morning then!
Sharing our successes and what we will do to improve results etc sounds great - I work in an industry where we call it sharing best practice.
Fingers crossed we are all prepared for our numbers tomorrow.
EEk ok im in will brave the dreaded scales *hold my hand girls its not going to be pretty* :wall:
Week one weight in: 108kg
*holds hands with everyone*
Today starts our journey together. Together we are strong.
My exercise aim for the week: at least 30 minutes sweat inducing. This will be done using the wii fit when DS sleeps (impossible while no other adults around!)
Food aims: i will eat only when hungry. I will drink more water (probably thirsty more than hungry). I will aim for the 2 and 5 (fruit vege). I will dig out my easy slim program to help me.
1 kg loss a week (on average) will be good.
Monday - managed 35 minutes exercise
I'm holding your hand. I don't want to post mine.:
Handing hands - I'm Liz and my starting weight is 94.4kg
I'm not sure what I'm going to aim to do this week - try out a gym nearby and make sure I'm drinking over 3 bottles of water a day (the pump bottles 750ml ones - 4 bottles = 3L).
Hoping to be in the 93kg range next week (AF's here atm too :wall:)
OK well girls! You shouldn't have anything to worry about when you see my numbers! arrrggghhhh I guess, although I am ashamed of it, each week as you see my numbers, I know it will be the last time those numbers EVER appear on my scales. Here we go!
Start weight Dec 10: 143.5kgs.
Today's weight: 132kgs.
This week I plan to walk for 45 mins per night for four nights and do boxing twice.
I NEED to get my good water habits going, so I am aiming for 2 litres per day at this stage.
Kimmi xx
I'm not even game enough to stand on the scales, last time I was weighed was when I was 30+ weeks pregnant with DD.
But today is my starting point! There's no junk in the house (other than DH's coke *grumble grumble* thats another story!)
I said to DH last night "do you realise I have to lose your sister A?"....She's only about 50kg, I have to lose an entire person!
I'm going to try to do 45mins of exercise today!
i'm off to the gym in 30mins, i'll weight there...
Alright, first weight post - 104.8kg.
This is gain of 800g for me over past week but I was expecting this as we have had house guests this past week so there has been a bit of drinking and eating etc....
My aim is 103.8 for next Monday.
x.
argh. i forgot to weigh! i'll do it tonight.
on a side note, i took the kids swimming after gym, and there was a mothers group there, out of about 18, there were only 2 who were not stick thin and glamorous. they can kiss my fat arse. :)
I'm in too. Monday morning weigh in = 96.1 EEEK!!!
Mind you, on 1 August 2010 I weighed 109. So I'm now 13 kgs down... I did get to 94 just before Christmas though...
My goal weight is 75. I'd love to be 60 but we'll just wait and see.
I haven't eaten ANY chocolate today and I'm going to do 45 mins on the exercise bike tonight.
I would love to join this! :)
This year is my year, and my aim is to lose 20kg. Actually I wouldnt mind a tad more but we'll reach the 20 first!
Starting weight last week was 97kg
As of last night: 96kg.
At the moment I am using the Wii EA Active sports, which is really good. I try and do at least one workout each night once the girls are in bed.
Weigh in number 1.
24/01/2011 : 146.9
31/01/2011 : 145.0
:clap: LOSS OF 1.9 KG :clap:
Im So So So happy with that!!.
This weeks goals walk 3 times this week for 30 mins.
Keep drinking water.
NO BEER for another week.
To Make time for myself.
Good Luck ladies
That is AWESOME Tracy!!!!!!!!!
Congrats, that's a fantastic loss!
well I got a new battery for the scales and I am officially grossed out!
I figure putting it out there it makes me more motivated to never be this size again.
Monday week 1
102.4kg :o
Am happy to say I have stuck to the low carb today and did s#&tloads of housework as well.
I made sure I got a sweat up doing the vaccuming and mopping the floors :p
Am off to the gym when DH gets home and its Salad and chicken kebabs for dinner.
Tammie where abouts are you? Walking buddy perhaps??
****. Ok. I'm going to have to post it.
Monday week 1
135kg :hide:
yes that's right...BIGGER than when I started my last diet. Hmmmm.
And I can't seem to find my motivation atm. When I am committed, I am a steamroller, seriously tough. I KNOW I can do this. But I have to get there, mentally, to start with, and I'm just not there right now, and I don't know how to get there :(
ETA - although I have to say, this is he weight at which I am 'feeling' it. Like, I never felt fat, and I would be surprised when I saw photos of myself or caught sight of myself unexpectedly. But the last 5kg, I am feeling them. I feel fat, yuck, uncomfortable in my skin now.
Fleur darl, we are all bigger than when we started our last diet! That's why we are here.
Hang tight, stick with it and we can all hold each others hands. I may be a stranger to you, but all my faith is in you right now. I know you can do it!
Stacey, I'm at Mount Cotton (prob about 30-40 mins from you at FL). I would love a walking buddy but can't meet regularly. I work about 45 mins from home so spend a lot of useful hrs traveling to and from work... It means I have to get out and wander a little at lunch times to squeeze in exercise! I am hoping my work arrangements will change in the coming months though so maybe then we could meet?
Fluer, you can do it! We all know you can. xx.
Night all!
Hold on tight as its way worse than i thought..omg i cant type it, far out how did i let myself get like this..:wall::
:angry::angry::angry:
i am going to put it big so i can shame myself
here goes
136.3 humongous kilos
:hug: Thank you to everyone who has posted so far, and thank you especially to kimmi, Tammie & Madham.
Your support is helpful already, it truly is :hug: I am starting to feel like I can do it, I will. I WILL.
Fleur no need to thank me hunny, your amazing and thankyou so much for the chat and also for listening to me whinge about myself.
:hug:
We can do this :pray:
What an awesome bunch of women you all are! I look forward to really being able to be my open honest self, and to be accountable to my own decisions.
Today, it's a bit of a miserable day..... Looks like the rain could be setting in, so I don't know about my walk tonight. DP and I had a bit of a fight last night, so I didn't sleep too well. (All is good now though) I might just do some boxing tonight.
I did learn a trick from someone... It sounds weird, but it allows you to get a bit of extra incidental exercise in...
Do this at home - or at a place you feel comfortable - might not be the best for the shopping centres lol but everytime you go to the toilet, use that as a trigger to do 20 standing push up's. I just use the back of the door and if you get the technique right, you really can feel your abs and arms working!
Sounds weird, don't judge me. But it works haha
I know Kimmi its annoying isnt it??
I had big plans to take my two babies for a walk today and told DS2 last night. Wake up this morning to the rain and him on my back every two minutes about this walk mummy promised!!
AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
Will not let it put me off though I will just do a couple of laps around my local shopping centre and supermarket and then back to the gym tonight :D
And I love the incidental exercise idea Kimmi. With all the water im drinking at the moment im in the toilet all the time so hopefully I will shift these bingo wings in no time!
Can I just say its so nice to be able to come in here and share with you guys knowing that we are all in the same boat with the same goals. To be hot(ter) smoking MILFs :lol::lol:
My DH doesnt even know how much I weigh so its very scary for me to put it out there, but knowing we are here to help each other not judge makes me feel much better about it.
Thank you
Well yesterday was a big mess! All my plans got thrown out the window because we forgot DH had a work dinner on...sooooo today is starting day!
It's so hot too :( only going to try for 30mins on the bike today but I'll also be walking around the shops a bit!
Might even buy some new scales scary!
Hey ladies sorry ive been a bit MIA. Had some more dramas happen and so felt too crappy to think about my weight.
I've made such an effort dispite all of that. yesterday i walked 2kms to the local shopping centre and got a bus into town then on the way back we deliberately caught a bus that drops us off 1.5kms from our house so we had to walk. I did the same walk today just didnt go into town. Even though its stinking hot i feel good that i did something.
Ive got walking planned with the lovely ~starbright~ on monday and i will be hitting the gym at about 6am for the rest of the week, working out for about an hour. I might include a light walk in the evenings with DD.
I'm also starting a new healthy eating diet. i got the idea from a friend and only 2 weeks in shes lost 3kgs so im rather excited.
Breakfast: special k with lite milk plus a banana. lunch low gi bread roll with chicken and cheese. dinner meat with either vegies or salad (the meat portioned) and snacks 10 almonds for morning tea and a bunch of grapes for afternoon tea. May add other snacks if feel hungry but will drink lots of water.
well, christmas was definately a killer for me.
weighed in today - 86kg. so definately 25 to lose...
put on all the weight i lost just before xmas...
did 40 minutes cardio, then 10 minutes weights at the gym..
Good Morning Fabulous Women!
Am Yay to say that everyday am managing 30 minutes dedicated exercise! It is amazing how much better I feel for being even just that little bit more active.
It has been sooooo stinking hot, but Air Con means no excuses! I am finding it practicallly impossible to do the wii fit when the little fella is up and about, so when he has his morning kip, I can do it. DD copies whatever I am doing, so it is also a fun activity to do together.
You may have noticed I have had a name change (formerly bellabirth).
Keep up the fabulousness!
Just wanted to post to tell you all I love you! Thanks for giving me the courage to post my weight and thanks for helping to motivate me. xx
I weighed myself again this morning and weighed in at 103.8 which was my goal for next Monday (I haven't been particularly good the couple of days so I'm thinking that perhaps I was bloated on Monday when I weighed). I'm re-setting my goal to 103.00..... Fingers crossed!
No exercise for me today - I don't have a/c at home and it is about 10000% humidity here. I'm also back to work today after a couple of weeks off.
Talk soon ladies,
xx.
Hey Tammie,
Good for you, I know you will get to 103 by next Monday!
Well done tammi, the support is fab here..
Had a cruddy day today! I have been soooo bloated and sick in the tummy, so much so I had to leave work early.
Despite this, I still ate well and am about to tuck into a small bowl of diet jelly!
I hope you are all doing well! Does anyone have ideas of upper arm workouts without the use of dumbells?
Kimmi, that's not good about your day but I am super impressed at you dedication in sticking to the healthy eating!
As for arm exercises, you can do chair dips which are meant to be really great for the tuckshop lady arms. I bought an exercise ball a while ago which came with a chart for all the different exercises that can be adapted for it, this was one of them. You can obviously use a chair instead of the fit ball though... Just google and you'll find instructions.
I also love the incidental exercise idea. I had heard the same idea but with squats so you could even alternate exercises for some variation.
Night all.
