Hi Ella and welcome :clap: 10 wks you are doing well. My youngest is now 11mths, I wish I had have started when she was 10wks :doh:
I have a Wii fit and I dont use it. Like anything I did at first but the novelty wore off and to be honest I find it a bit of a pain. I dont like all the stopping and starting you have to do in it. Im not sure what the newer games and programmes are like but I prefer to just keep going and not have to stop all the time.
Just my 2c on it. Maybe someone has one you could use for a bit before you bought one to see if you like it. I really wish I had of done that first.
Food wise not too bad this week. I have been pretty good and have been to the gym three times and a couple of little walks. I even went to the gym last night when the rest of my family was jumping in the pool. That took some will power to drag my ar$e out the door but I did it and felt much better for it too. Totally enjoyed my earned swim when I got home :clap:
It is so stinky hot and damn muggy though I dont need much of an reason to make excuses not to walk so have been trying the incidental ideas.
3 x 10 squats at the kitchen sink doing the dishes
3 x 10 chair dips before sit down to watch tv
parked as far away form supermarket doors as I could yesterday
So I am hoping all these little bits will add up
Happy fat free weekend ladies and keep up the good work, roll on Monday!!

Welcome Ella! The more the merrier in here because there will be plenty of weeks where we need LOTS of support!
L, I'm sure you'll be ok with weigh in on Monday. It is nerve wracking though...
Fei, you make me laugh... Thanks.
It's 12:11pm on Sat morning for me and I am posting solely to distract myself from wanting something to eat. I had my shake for b'fast and just had a coke zero a while ago. I'd really like something to eat though....
I've made diet jelly this morning but it's not set yet and it's normally my staple food during the day - a great way to have lots of water and fill my belly!
Well, i've bored you enough with my hunger and my washing machine has just finished... That will keep me occupied for a few more minutes!

I am going to jump into here too! Just read through the thread and decided I need to put it out there too so I can acknowledge and move on. I have a 15 week old daughter and I am more than ready to get myself back into healthy living. I currently weight about 107kgs (my scales are rubbish and my weight changes everytime I get on them up to 5kgs, even if I weight 3 times in a row).
I have just started back training with my Step into Life group, which I LOVE, but I am on an enforced injury leave from my chiropractor for a couple of weeks, due to out of alilgn hips/ pelvis from giving birth.
My excercise goals are to walk 45mins- 1 hr 4x per week, & train 2x perth week.
I am also getting back into calorie king to track how many calories I am eating- aiming for around 1800 as I am still BF.
I would like to be under 100kgs when I go back to work at the beginning of my, which gives me around 14 weeks, so more than do able.
My 1 tip for everyone is to do your measurements, because even when you think you aren't loosing weight, you check your measurments to see you have lost cm's. I am aiming more for cm's lost than kg's. I would like to be wearing a size 16 by christmas.

Hey girls,
I am committing to one week without any fast food.
I actually have super healthy food in the house but I am am shift worker who is living on way too little sleep, so sometimes the lure of driving to a window and someone giving me food is incredibly strong, I often don't get a meal break at work either so will be on the road and starving.
So thats my committment for this week.
I did Body Balance today and off to work now,
Will also try and exercise everyday, even if its just a walk around the block
I'm still in a large debate in my mind about the scales. After a lifeftime of weight issues, the best thing I ever did was get rid of them. Maybe I'll use clothes sizes
I am currently a size 22, I would like to be in a size 20 and comfortable by a conference presentation I am giving in one month.
Ultimate aim Size 14 dress, I am acutally okay with 16 jeans, Looking back at photos I see a healthy looking woman at about that size. (its such a shame that I thought I was fat and unattractive)
So thats my other committment. Not to put life on hold because of weight. Its not worth it. You just never know when you;ll look back on today and realise how wonderful it really was and wish you'd enjoy it more. I am going to make the most of each and every moment.
-
YAY pollya, you can do it!!!!
If you spend the time thinking about it, there are actually times when you can create a meal just as naughty as fast food but absolutely satisfying and good for you!!
-
Hey Polly A how are you?? Welcome to our (gonna be) little group :lol:
I am following Curves low carb diet at the moment and im still breastfeeding too. On it you are allowed the sweetchilli chicken wrap from the "evil shall not be named golden archers" place.
Even better they have just added it to their $5 lunches. Wrap, water and apple slices cant complain about that! :clap:
I know you said you are staying away from takeaways at the moment but maybe it could be an option, to feel like you are having takeways with everyone else but your arent being naughty about it.
-
PollyA that is a fantastic goal - I love it!
Only 2 more sleeps until weigh in... I'm getting nervous already. Not sure I'm going to get my 103.

Just popping into say hi, & welcome to those new to the thread :) I'm still here, having a bitof an up & down weekend - I came undone last night when I went to a scrapbooking thing, and we walked to maccas for dinner. But at least I walked there :lol: and I didn't eat chocolate when I got home, lol.
Oh and big win - I did the grocery shop yesterday on an empty tummy (baaaaad move) and walked away from the mars bars on special near the checkout. WIn! (I'll take 'em where I can get 'em!)
-
Who's ready for weight in tomorrow????????????????????
-
Definitely not me!
As long as it's better than the 104.8 I'll be happy but I've been weighing myself everyday and I've been fluctuating massively!

I have started using the wii fit (again).
We got it Christmas 2009. I used it for about 3 months, everyday, and did really well..then hit a wall.
NOt really sure why...guess I had so much happening, the days got shorter...it is hard to do it when the kids are awake and under myfeet.
But a year on, I am timing it to DS (19mths) day sleep. a half hour a day is very doable.
I don't really know how muchit cost...lots...DH is a tech head, so in addition to the wii fit he has lots of other bits. I like the variety. I think you can get a basic set up for $2-300. I like that it is fun for DD to participate while i use it. The other bonus, (DD is 4) is if she is being difficult, I can let her watch ABC 2, and do the steps or jogging thing. It just plays a beat, to keep your rhythm going. To me the wii fit is the 'no excuses' exersise.
I like that it has a 'body test' which at the least records your weight, and has a place to record your other measurements and an exersise you do away from the wii. DH got me a fittness first dvd that goes with the wii...which is ok but not as fun.
I like that I can make a mee...that is kind of fun..and well honest!
Like anything, you get what you put in.
And dear friends, I have a confession to make. This week I feel of the wagon...rather badly. Tomorrow may reveal all (I can only hope my exersising has limited the damage. When I say I fell of the wagon, I was enabled by DH. Chocolate was on special (i like the wittakers coconut one). AF arrived (only the second since ds was born, and the first 'real one')...so I caved and made a new rule - I can have choc when AF visits. Now, I am hoping that AF won't visit again...but eitherway, next month I intend to break that rule and have no choc with AF, should she arrive.
So there it is.
Having you guys hasd made me reflect on this, and I am glad of your support.
Until tomorrow.....
-
And we're happy to support you Catherine!
I've had a naughty afternoon, nothing too major, just a couple of biscuits with Eli. Also, I'd normally have a carb free dinner but tonight dh is making some yummy homemade pizzas... They aren't too bad (not lots of cheese) but I prefer no carbs.
Good luck to everyone tomorrow. I look forward to seeing our progress!

After having a terrible weekend i am pleasantly suprised to say i have lost 2.3kg this week. I am aware i will need to get back on track as the fish and chips i ate could still creep back on, naughty me. But happy to have had a loss, how did you go?
-
Ok Here is the stats:
Start weight - Nov / Dec 2010 :- 143.5kgs
Week 1 weight in:- 132.00 kgs
Current weight:- 130.00 kgs
Total lost 13.5kgs!
I was so hoping to crack into the 120's! It would have been so great, especially having only been in the 140's just 2 months ago. I need to ramp it up this week! My food is very much under control! I'm pleased to say I haven't really messed that up too much.
I did however enjoy my wine on Friday and Saturday nights which kind of blew things out a little!
Good luck girlies!

Kimmi you are doing so well, i alwasys manage 2 weeks and full of the wagon, after losing that much weight you must be starting to feel better?
-
I am starting to feel better actually! My face is starting to look a little more defined as opposed to looking a little like Bert Newton! haha
I'm really excited about life at the moment and all the opportunities that losing a substantial amount of weight will provide...
NOt just the fact that I might feel a little better about myself at our wedding, but our next IVF cycle might bring us a little more luck!
-
Thats fantastic, im taking small steps as looking at the big picture scares the crap outta me but people like you are inspiring me.
-
We are all inspiring each other.... I couldn't have this positive, motivated frame of mind without all you girls to be honest!
