After seeing some atrocious photos of me....the challenge is on!

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.

Wow, Mel, you certainly have been busy!!
I have been thinking of getting a bike too. I could ride to work and back when I don't have to take the kids to childcare or mums. Well...I couldn't ride to work now but once I've lost a bit of weight and I'm fitter....it's about a 10km trip, so it would be a pretty good ride! Oh well, I'll just stick with walking for now. I'n a week or two I will start to try running, eeeekkkk!!!!!

I feel pretty pumped Kel. Even though the ride took about 10 minutes each way, its a good way to get into it. My clothes already feel a bit looser too. The girls werent super keen on the bike trailer but I will try them again with it. I dont think they liked being closed in. Once I had the cover off they were ok. When dh is home I might just ride on my own I dont run....cant run and wont run, so I am happy to ride or swim

Hi guys

I had an ok day yesterday. My mums friend works for Arnotts and gets biscuits very cheap and dh put an order in recently which we got on Sat. Sucks, chocolate bickies everywhere! Tried to be good yesterday but caved a few times. None today though, i will be strong!

Started the couch to 5km running program yesterday. Its a 9 week program where at the end you should be able to run 5km or run for 30 minutes. If i can do it i will be sooo proud of myself, always wanted to be a runner but never been able to do it. Felt good after i finished my run.

GTG, DS has had enough of playing nicely and wants attention.

Cookiemonster: Congrats on passing. I used to work at KFC years ago. Back then tho i could eat as much as i wanted and didn't put on any weight. Not that i appreciated it back then. Glad i dont work there now otherwise i would be 3 times my size... yummo...

Lilias: Happy anniversary! Lunch sounds lovely. I always crave sweets whether i have af or not. Craving a choccie biscuit as we speak! Will stay strong. Was looking at the couch to 5km program today and the first few weeks are easy and then they really ramp it up. Scary. See how i go. We can support each other through it if you like. Be nice to have a buddy.

Had a good day food wise today. Managed to only eat 2 biscuits so not great but better than yesterday. Lucky dh is making his way through them all really quickly so they should be gone soon. He is one of those super annoying people who can eat junk all day and still be skinny as. Made a really nice salad for dinner with falafels. Was really yum. Even dh liked it which is amazing as he is def a meat man.

to have some weight loss this week. Would really like to get back to my pre preg weight by ds 1st birthday so 5 kg in 5 weeks. Do-able but dont know if i will make it.

Hope your all well

I got on the bike again today for about 25 minutes. I had the trailer on with dd1 in it. I dont think i will get one coz she doesnt really enjoy it and dd2 hates it! Looks like I can go riding on my own Dh is encouraging me and says that we wont have any chocolate at home, which is good because we can consume alot!

Hope all is good...I am pumped!

[MrsFabuloso]

Well, I'm plodding along ok. I went walking again yesterday, I took a different route though and it was a bit harder, felt good though. Eating is going ok, still not great, but better at least. I need to drink more water, eat more fruit and veggies and less bread and carby stuff. I eat waaayyy too many carb loaded foods like bread, crackers, muffins....stuff like that. I'm REALLY craving junk tonight, some choccy or icecream would go down a treat tonight! Oh, Oh....or some butterscotch pudding and icecream...mmmmm *drrroooooooooollllllllllll* Ok gotta stop that! Maybe a bit of choccy milk, skim milk of course! And just a teaspoon of choccy powder.
