    I am sneaking in too.... I have 10kgs to loose. I am 73kgs and would be delighted if I could loose 5 kgs by xmas time. I can do it. I got dh to fix up my push bike. I am starting water aerobics once a week. I wanted to buy a bike trailer so I could take the kids on a ride with me...otherwise I would have to get up at the crack of dawn...unlikely! I have decided to have 1 naughty day a week with chocolate. Drink loads of water and eat more raw food.

    I also decided that once I get to 70kgs I will treat myself with an hoour massage.
    If I hit 67kg around xmas...shopping spree and another massage!

    The only thing that might hold me back is if I fall pg.....will be trying after Novemeber though so gives me a month to get on the way to beingfit and into a routine....

    Ohh, me too, me too... I need a buddy bad, can i please join you guys?? I always join groups and never follow through coz people start losing weight and i just cant. So you will need to harass me lots lol.

    Iv been trying to lose 10kg for about 6 months and it just wont shift. Lately i have had a few problems with my back that makes exercise hard so i need to work on my diet big time.

    Bleurgh I feel fat now LOL! I have about 40kgs to lose!

    Isabel and minimatron if you want to join in the email/text/msn harassing pm me for my details!

    my biggest hurdle is work - the fact i work there (kfc), my work hours, times i do / dont get to eat at work, and currently its stressing me out. i finish management training this week so were hoping to swing back into the diet once i stop stressing about my certification tomorrow.

    i own a crosstrainer but never have the time or energy to get on the damn thing so i need some kicking! i also always forget to eat breakfast which is ideal for metabolism.

    Kellie I have your number hun Will message you maybe tomorrow (incase people are asleep there atm they are for you btw) so you have my number too incase you've lost it somehow

    Mini & Isabel the more the merrier, thanks for joining us & good luck

    cookie will your cross trainer fit in the lounge room? You may be able to squeeze in some time on it while watching your fav shows? I used one of those at the gym.... not as easy as it looks hey but feels so damn good after you've achieved the time you set out to do on it!

    I'm heading to the gym tomorrow night, the kids will be having dinner with their dad at their grandparents place so I'm going to try to update my ipod & take that with me to get me going! Hoping to start a bit of a routine soon....
    I've also started having porridge for breakfast instead of vegemite on toast & I quite enjoy the porridge, I thought I'd hate it

    i should really make sure i watch tv in the lounge instead of on the laptop/in bedroom. we download most of our shows so maybe watching them out there would be good incentive.

    i have some 1.5kg dumbells too but i had to hide them so little one didnt hurt himself and when theyre outta sight - outta mind IYKWIM!

    Well, I think I started something! Kinda feels good to have given you all some motivation!

    If anyone else wants to be part of the motivational message train, pm me and I will give you my mobile number

    I have done fairly well today and yesterday. Eaten ok both days, though still had a few things I shouldn't have, like an icecream (my favourite!) and extra breakfast I didn't need. But I'm being realistic and know it won't happen all at once.
    I went for a walk today and we went to taronga zoo yesterday and walked for 4 hours around there pushing DS and all of the food and drinks around which is very hilly!

    Ok kids and DH are whinging....can't have 10mins to myself

    I ate really well today and stopped eating when I was full (I have an issue with finishing whats on my plate). I also rode to pick the girls up from day care and lugged them back on the trailer. And I did about 4 hours of house cleaning. Real test is tomorrow...a party.
