The beauty of the internet is anonymity!!
My guess is that I now weigh 75kgs. I was 64kgs this time last year (at my wedding) and even then I felt big. My goal weight is between 55-60kgs which puts me back in the "healthy" BMI range.
-
Haha dont worry Mel my number is pretty high too, hmmm contemplating letting it slip, need to sit on that one for a bit I reckon.
Spice - thanks for the advice. we have it all worked out with the insemination i think as long as my cycle behaves itself and i gotta say its remarkable so far and been charting for about 6 mths now. Got all my hormone levels checked last month and they are spot on too so fingers crossed the spermie meets the egg first go. Heres hoping!!
Anyway, I better be getting ready for work...boohoo! Ahh but maybe i need a baby fix, just to give me that bloody cluckiness again lol.
-
Hmm, I'm a bit scared to reveal my weight at the moment too . . .
Lea you have a beautiful job. I cannot wait to be a midwife sometime in the near future. Just not sure whether to go down the nursing then post grad in mid path, or do a bachelor of mid.
-
Now I feel a bit silly for fessing up about my weight! :redface:
-
Awwwwwwww don't feel silly.... I just feel fatter...lol
-
Maybe we could go off BMI then??
My BMI is 28.
The link to a BMI calculator is here.

Amy - dont feel silly about fessing up bout your weight! you might be a skinny binny to me but thats just my perception of ideal weight. its a totally individual thing. For me, I feel at my best when I am about 80 - 85 kg, I love having curves but thats just me, I'd look like a lollipop if I was any less than that. I dont really have any idea what weight I am now, I just know I fit into a 16 to 18 size. A comfortable size 14 to 16 and I will be happy.
Spice - If you are contemplating on being a midwife I would suggest becoming an RN first. Your scope of practice is just that much more when you do your midwifery and you will feel a hell of a lot more confident but thats not to say there isnt fantastic direct entry midwives. For me it gives you more options if you are also a registered nurse but it might not suit somebody else. Well thats my thoughts anyway. There is more to it but thats all I have time for.
Cheers, better run!

Well we could go off dress size then. My current dress size is 14-16 bottoms and 12-14 top.
Ideally I would like to be a comfortable 12 in all areas.

Amysarah, you certainly don't have to worry about fessing up about your weight. I am a size 16-18 atm and when I got married 3.5 years ago I was 20 kilo's lighter and a size 14. I felt really good and healthy at that size, and although I could lose more than 20 kilos I don't really give a rats. It's a very individual thing. And I don't think that the BMi thing is totally accurate as it does not take into account a persons build and there can be such a huge variance in bone structure from person to person.

Well, i am SO not revealing how much i weight. Mind you i have weighed myself in over 5 months, but i know the last time i stood on scales i nearly vomited everywhere!
Surfice to say, when i fell pregnant with our daughter in 2004.. i was 70kg's.. which for me is perfect!!! Im not that short so it is good.. and i have a big structure (shoulder's/boobs etc) so any lighter i reckon i look sick.
From the sounds of it so far, im the biggest here :( :( :( ah well..... more too loose i guess!!!!!
Ok better go
OH and hey there amsta ;) looking forward for the morning heheheheheheh
-
Oh and Lea, if you feel comfortable, would you mind telling me of your situation? I find is amazing and so awesome.... but just dont know much about it all ... (insemination etc etc) like do you know the person? or? its pretty exciting.... :)
-
Hi Missy,
Yep no worries but it doesn't really match this thread. If you read my blog I have explained most of whats happening there like the big decision in choosing the right donor was really hard but we found the right person in the end. I dont think we could choose an unknown donor as we would like the donor to have a small amount of contact. But yeah have a look at it and I am happy to answer any of your questions :D
How is everybody else today? I slept in today, last night at work was so busy I dont think I sat down all night. I have been behaving myself in the food department the last few days but have found it hard to go for a bikeride since I work til 11pm and its hard to get up in the mornings and do that, I prefer late afternoon exercise so might have to wait til the weekend when I have a couple of days off (to do assignments) but all the same have some free time for exercise. When to find a moment with Selena hmmm busybusybusy!
-
I had a big milo for breakfast :redface:.
Really excited to be starting on Monday. Somehow I am trying to justify all the bad stuff I am eating this week because I'm telling myself I'm starting a diet soon! :lol:
Going to a pub for lunch with some girls from work and planning on having one of their ceasar wraps (YUM). Might also knock back a vodka and cranberry with a lime.. mmmmm
-
Yummos Amy, enjoy yourself! Its all good, everything in moderation thats what I say...otherwise i fail lol
-
Lea- thanks darl, i went and had a look, just a quikc one but couldnt find what i was kinda looking for so will look later.. :)

We are off to have dinner with friends at Zagame's so im looking forward to a nice meal and a strong drink.... mmmm been getting into jim beam lately... hated it before lol im normally a scotch person .. or vodka... mmmm but then i do just love a nice glass of red lambrusco mmmmm
OH how is this, my daughter told her kinder room today for show n tell that "mummy is having a baby"!!!!!! :clap: :lol: made me laugh.... was soooooo cute. and yesturday she said to me "mummy you got a baby in your tummy?" i said no no buub not yet one day and she replied " yep, might be a boy might be a girl and i will feed them" was soooooooooooo cute..
Whats funny is i havent said a word to her bout it all lol so cute
Well, i mmade a BIG step for me today. I joined Curve's!!! I have a good feeling and start there tomorrow morning... will look at starting to follow mel's eating plan monday....

-
OH NO!!!
I'm going away for the weekend with my DH to Melbourne (it's a long weekend in NSW) and I'll be driving back home on Monday!! This is terrible because it means...
McDonalds :o
Maybe I could start the diet Tuesday? I really don't think I would be able to resist temptation on Diet Day 1!!
Well done Missy on joining Curves :clap:
-
Amy - you could always start it in another weeks time ;) I mean, you could start doing some gentle exercise next week, just walking or whatever, but still eat normal stuff, and then the next week after - start the diet..
Just an idea..
I brought more junk food yesterday - stocking up for when i have to go cold turkey!!! LOL
Ahhh missy is grizzling again... stupid reflux...:doh:
-
Done! Diet starts week after next (I just needed someone else to suggest it!!).
I'll start walking again next week - I bought some new trackies last night and new clothes always get me in the mood to get off my bum!
