Morning ladies how are we?? Congratulations on your fantastic losses we are headed in the right direction!:dance:
Me well I am a happy little cowboy today
Wk one - 102.4kg
Wk two - 100.7kg
Thats a 1.7kg loss! :clap: not bad even with the fish and chips on Friday night and the BBQ for dinner last night.
So I am not quite in the zone but I am certainly wanting to get to double numbers next week so I am try to get my mojo in full swing this week.
I went for a walk yesterday morning (in the stinking heat) and by trial and error I have found some good walking songs.
Pink - Raise your glass. Good beat and not too fast
Rhianna - whose that chick. This one is alot faster but a good one for when you are half way or on the home stretch and starting to slow down
Flo Rida - Club cant handle me. I just like this song anyway but the chorus has a great stomping beat to pump it out to.
Keep up the good work ladies we are doing well and remember
"every step we take is one step further away from where we used to be!"
Wow, take a week away from this thread and it goes NUTS!
Am just signing up for bellydancing classes - WOO! And getting on the treadmill, it feels so good to sweat :) No scales at home, I don't believe in them, but clothes are feeling and looking FABULOUS!
Hmmm, belly dancing classes sound like so much FUN! I'd love to look into that more.. I am just SO uncoordinated! I mean, I bought the zumba dvd's and I end up just waving my body around all over the place because I just can't keep up!
Wow - amazing work girls! Congrats!
I screwed up my weigh in this morning. I forgot to weigh in, and by the time I remembered I was dressed for work and had b'fast etc so I think it will be a bit heavier.
It was 104.4 when I did weigh but I'll re-weigh in the morning to see if there's much difference.
It's only 400g for me but my weight has been all over the shop this past week... Not sure if it's the heat causing fluid retention or what, but something is weird. I don't entirely understand, Wednesday last week I was 103.8 but I have eaten reasonably well so that's why I am wondering if I am bit puffy from the humidity etc... I have certainly noticed my rings are a little tighter!
I'm ok with 400 if that's all it ends up been, my total is close to 20kg in past 5 mths (including a rest during Xmas new year peered). I don't mind slow loss because I tell myself it means I am learning how to live long term instead of just losing weight and gaining it back when I finish.
I'll post again tomorrow if there's any change.
If not change my aim for next Monday is 103.5kg.
Hi ladies. I am starting today. I have lost about 13kg in the last 6 weeks but its no longer just coming off. DD2 is 6 weeks on Friday and I am going to work my butt off to look good in her 1st birthday photos instead of avoiding the camera the way I done on DS and DD1 birthdays. My starting weight today is 129.8kg :(. I have talked to Dh and we are going to join the gym together on Friday. I went had a look today and you get a couples membership which includes 2 memberships for the gym, pool - the kids can also go for a swim, classes, childcare all for $25 week. I think thats cheap, I can't even get a babysitter for an hour with 3 kids for $25. Good luck to everyone.
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:)
Leckert, Don't forget that women (on Implanon or not) still have severe body weight fluctuations as our cycles happen (or try to happen)... My Dr even tells me there is one week a month where I shouldn't bother weighing myself.
Don't sweat it! It's one week of the rest of your life!
Don't know if it's the humidity or AF - or both - but my weight was creeping up by about .5 kg a day, for about a week now. Just this morning I am down 1.2kg, so some of this fluid is shifting, thank gawd. Will see how things go next week.... I don't even feel like counting this as a loss, the way I have been the last few days. I will know better in another week.
Congrats to all those with big losses! WOOT :dance:
All of us deserve a congrats! Even a shift in attitude is as good as a weight change! Keep it up girls!
Good morning - yesterday didn't happen, but I weighed today, just under 108. I think no change really this weeek.
I found it interesting the comments about fluid retention in this hot and humid weather. I weighed myself a few times this week, using the wii fit, and it skyrocketed! I had AF as well, which probably added to it, but very interesting to see how much it varies.
The Monday weigh on will be my indicator of a downward trend.
I have done my exersise this morning (30 minutes uninterupted) and today we will ride the bike (kids in the trailer) to the library. Not very far, but every little bit counts! The cooler weather is most welcome!
You are all doing marvellous.
bye for now
looking forward to seeing the weight starting to drop a bit for me - new school has lots of steps and I'm teaching upstairs and staffroom & photocopier is downstairs so that's going to be helpful. - should go now as DS is trying to play with the laptop :)
WOW ladies huge congrats on the weight losses.
I have been so busy with work i havnt been on all week This will be a short post as I finished work at 9pm last night (monday) and started again at 3am today tuesday monring) and just finished work at 330pm. I weighed in yesterday at .....143.5 so a loss of 1,5kg:clap: this week and a total of 3.5kg :clap::clap: since I started this post 2 weeks ago.
Good night all and good luck for the coming week,:pray:
Tracy
Yep, another 1.3kg down for me, so that is 2.5 kg in three, four days. Definitely fluid retention! Still nice to see it come down though :):
Motivation wise I am struggling a bit, although I did manage to go to bed last night after just a cup of tea, and no ice-cream :)
Woohoo welldone everybody
Fleur good job, i am struggling too.
Adding to the humidity / fluid retention thing... I weighed this morning and was down to 103.5.... That's down 900g from Monday.
I'll weigh again tomorrow to see if it sticks.... Fingers crossed! My weight has fluctuated between 103.5-105 this past week so something's up!,,
I had a bit of a cruddy day yesterday. When I was feeling "Oh so strong" I fell off the wagon. Not in my old fashion where I would eat a bucket load, but I had lollies. Probably 400 calories worth. Arrrggghhhh.
What a buggar I am! Back on today with a nice filling breakfast to get me through the day without hungry tempting me.
How is everyone else going?
This week was DD's 4th birthday...that means birthday cake....this weekend is the party..that means more birthday cake!!!
I had some with her yesterday, I willl enjoy decorating it, but reckon I can go without. (i make good cake!) Oh well. The birthday food is a BBQ and fruit other wise. I will have some dips and cheese for everyone, but will probably be too busy with stuff to hang around the food! LOL! It is a much anticipated gathering of family and friends, we are going camping at the beach...it started out as a fairly simple event...it is going to be bigger than our wedding now!
While my weightloss is somethng I am commited too, my main goal is health. Being active, eating a good variety of food, but also looking after my mental health. It is all linked together. If think fat thought, it gets me down, and then I defeat myself by eating poorly and being lazy....but if I think healthy, I find myself being active and eating better. Does that even make sense? Think postive, be positive...think negative, be negative...
This weekend will be full of good food, lots of activity and lots of love! All the elements are there. I don't need to obsess about it, I don't think of the number of calories or units at this stage (more a vague awareness)...what I am focusing on is asking myself "am i hungry?" and eating to satisify hunger, rather than getting over full. This is actually really hard. You have to eat slowly and conciously. You can always have something else to eat later...but if you eat too much now, you can't undo it. After years of unconcious eating, this is a challenge, but I am finding I am having more successful days than off-the-wagon days.
Thanks for you help on this journey.
I won't be back until MOnday weigh in - Have a MARVELLOUS weekend everyone!
Bye fore Now
Catherine
