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

[MrsFabuloso]

So I just saw some horrific photos of me that a freind has put on facebook. OMG, I am sooo FAT! It's horrible. I knew I was overweight, but didn't think I looked so bad. It has certainly brought it home to me that I really need to get healthy and fit, not just to look better, but to just feel better with myself.
So I have up to 28kgs to lose. That would get me back to the shape I was in when I met DH at 18yrs old! But realistically I think I would probably be happy with 20kgs. That would get me back to pre ttc, pre pregnancy (including my 2nd angel) weight.
Wow, 20kgs....how daunting. Guess I won't be having anymore devil chicken wings for dinner at 9.30pm, with a 2-cupcake chaser dessert any more....
So now I am *gulp* 88kgs.....getting under 80kgs has proven to be my first hurdle recently, so that will be my first goal, to get under 80kgs, by....lets see, christmas is what, 9weeks away?? Maybe new year would be a good goal.

79.9kg's by New Years. Lets get cracking!!!

Hi hun, I too had the shocking realisation of my extra weight when I looked through the photos my sister took of me on the beach with the kids about a month ago. It's not like I was in a bikini, I was wearing board shorts & a singlet top & OMG.... gross!!!!

I recently joined the gym & I have 15kg to lose. I'm happy to join you to see how much we can lose by Christmas. I'm 68kg now, 9 weeks... hmmmm maybe get down to 60kg? I dont know if thats too much to aim for, maybe as close to 60kg as possible for me by Christmas

Lets do it!!!!

ETA: Just saw your goal is for the New Year, I'll join you for that.... 59.9kg by new years day!!!!

Way to go making the decision to do something- shame it takes those horrid picture realisation moments to kick us into gear hey? I had one about 21/2 months ago that got my butt into gear. I've lost nearly 6.5 kg to date since then, so that's in about 10 weeks - not as much as many say - the one kg per week.
So I would encourage you not to set too high a goal to start in too short a time. Half a kg a week is fairly realistic.
Check out calorie king too - it's got some good stuff to offer.

All the best on your journey!!

Hey Kel (and Danielle)! I have a fair bit more than both of you to lose but I'm after a buddy. Wanna exchange email / mobile numbers and text / harrass each other ? I think I might be a bit overzealous going for 89.9 before NYD, so I'll go with 93.9! We can hold each other accountable?

1% of your body weight per week is reasonable so keep that in mind. And wiifit says no more than 1.4kg per fortnight or it will cause weight rebound.

I have a weightloss blog too, but i just deleted most of the posts because it was for me and i felt like i was filtering it LOL. Time to be honest!!
