Hi everyone,
Congratulations Kel - how exciting!
I'm still just plodding along. Had a shocking night with DS a few nights ago where he fed non-stop, and I weighed myself the next morning and had lost another kilo!!! I don't know if that counts though, so I'll see where I'm at on Sunday when I weigh in.
Went to the gym Monday and Tuesday night, went for a walk on Wednesday and went to the gym for a combat class this morning. I'll go to the gym tomorrow morning too. Have been eating fairly well - perhaps had a little more cheese with crackers last night, but other than that all pretty good. DH, DS and I are off to Hobart this weekend for DH's birthday and going out for tea at Hogs Breath Cafe... never been, but soooo looking forward to it! I'm going to eat whatever I want and not feel guilty I've decided. I've been so good for so long I think a 'night off' is in order!
Keep up the good work everyone!

OOoh getting a bit slow in here......
Well I'm pretty happy with the way I've been eating and exercising, so I'm hoping for another loss in the morning. Today for the first time I noticed a change in the way my clothes fit....oh and my knickers :redface: I'm also quite happy at the lifestyle changes. Smaller portions of the things I enjoy works for me, and I don't feel like I'm missing out. Weekends are always harder because DH is here and the temptation to just eat or get crappy takeaway is closer, but, now it feels like there's less stress involved with that.
Hope everyone else is having a good week, and a lovely weekend.

I have been terrible the last few days. DH is so not helping me. He is really sabotaging me. Had Maccas for dinner when I had brought mini pizza bases to make some homemade pizzas. I only ate a small cheeseburger meal though. Shopping day here too, which has traditionally been 'treat' day. I had Thai fried rice for lunch, very yummy, and I don't think too damaging. I also had some MM's. Not too bad today though yesterday was kinda bad too. I'm having too many half bad eating days which are really adding up! I'm going to end up the size of a house by the end of this pg if I don't get control now! And I need to EXERCISE!!!!!!!
Kim, yay that your clothes are fitting differently, I think that's the best way to tell you're losing weight, when you can really see it in your clothes. Fair enough maybe you lose weight and cm's but it mean not much if your clothes are still uncomfy!!

Lilias - Congratulations! I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months! So glad you decided to stick with us even though you're up the duff :) I hope bubs likes healthy food.
Kim - That's great that you can see a change in how your clothes are fitting. I have the same issue with weekends and DH, but it is becoming less of an issue for me too.
Sterla - Treat yourself at Hog's Breath, sounds like you've earned it! They have 'lite' options if you want to lessen the blow.
Alison - Roast lamb isn't too bad if you use spray like you've done. I think the roast potatoes are the bad guys, limit them and go the sweet potato or pumpkin.
This week has been the hardest for me. We had SIL over for her birthday, lamb roast and a Nigella cake called Gooey Chocolate Stack. There's been 2 days this week that I haven't exercised. I'm going to have to get tough with myself. My exercise goals have gone flying out the window, but tomorrow's a new day.
-
yep, good job Suz...now I HAVE to google Gooey Chocolate Stack and file it away for when I get my kitchen back.......:rofl:
ok so I found it O - M - G.....

2.2kg :dance: :dance: soo excited this morning

:(
Hi girls,
I had my first weigh in at the Chemist today. I only lost 400grams! and lost 3cms on my waist.
Was soo upset, I thought people normally get high numbers their first week. I ate NO carbs at all, only drank water, exercised 4 days and ate no processed foods (only the meal replacement bars) and veges and some protein for dinner.
How am I supposed to stay motivated?
-
i know how you feel erybery, but keep it up, often the next week or two the numbers will be showing up.
-
Can I join in? I have a few kilos I'd like to shift and really need the motivation and support.
-
Jump right in Hannanat. PM your weight, chest, waist and hip measurements to Krysalyss, and she'll get you on the record :) We're starting a new month next week so that was good timing!
Erybery, I know. In first weeks I lost a piddly 200gm I was so disappointed - especially when DH lost 2kgs, but i kept going.
Some motivation suggestions;
Write your reasons for weight loss down and stick wherever is prominent for you. Whether it be one spot or ten, just to remind you why you are doing this.
Some people like to stick a 'fat' photo on the fridge but personally i find that degrading and discouraging (JMO though - do whatever works).
Some people hang an outfit they want to be able to wear where they can see it to remind themselves.
Have a competition with someone you see regularly. DH and I are in competition - and I'm winning :D I thought he'd be my biggest motivator but honestly Krys is my real motivator and I don't even 'know' her. I think that's why stuff like WW is so effective for me because I am accountable to someone.
AFM today is my day not to record my calories and I was really surprised today at my automatic choices.
Sterla hope you're having a great dinner....oooh they have great desserts at Hogs Breath.....
-
Had Hogs Breath for tea last night... was so yummy! Unfortunately I have kind of fallen off the bandwagon today as well... way too much chocolate has been consumed, and then I had calamari rings and chips for tea :shakehead:
But back to it tomorrow. There's no junk food left in the house now anyway, and I'm off to the gym in the morning. Surely one day won't do too much damage!
Kim: :clap: Wow, that's an awesome loss! Well done!
-
No weight lost here, no cm's either, but I wasn't really expecting to lose cm's being pg, lol! I still haven't pulled my finger out though and I'm still not eating as well as I should. Stress is making me eat. I need to get myself into new habbits! Next week is a new week and I will try again....
Back to basics for me, eating well (more fruit and veggies), and exercise (walking or swimming), more water too.
Kim, Congrats! You're doing sooo well!
-
Hi everyone. Just letting you know I am away for tonight so any messages I will get to tomorrow in time to update the list. Hope you are all well.
Bye!

Confession: I havent been in here at all this thread as I lost motivation. BUT I found it again and have been so good this weekend. I am so proud of myself. I have eaten so healthy and have even prepared meals tonight and snacks in the fridge so all I have to do is ull out or heat up a container.
Sterla- You are just incredible! What an inspiration you are! :clap: Be very proud of yourself because all your hard work is paying off.
Kim-2.2Kg is amazing. What did you do this week that you think really worked for you?
Eryberry- It can be so disheartening when only getting small numbers but normally if you get a big number in your first week then it is just fluid not fat so dont be too disheartened. You have just lost the fat! YAY!
Even though I am super super busy this week and the next few I am really going to make a concious effort to pop in and chat to everyone. :)

Well, I think DH is back on board again now...he tried on some work pants he hasn't had to wear in a while and they don't fit so great, lol, but he has to wear them on Thurs, Fri!! Hahaha, I can't help but laugh because I have been trying so hard to not listen to him and try to get him back on board but he just kept on sabotaging me! Now he's the one suffering for it....not very nice am I, lol! Oh well! Hopefully we can be supportive of each other now.
I haven't lost any weight but weighed in tonight and haven't put any on, so yay! But I also haven't felt like eating after about 4-5pm for the last few nights. Feeling a bit sickish (would say it's really m/s or nausious, just not hungry). Put on a few cm's though I guess I can't really avoid that though...gotta have room for baby to grow!
Hoping that we will be able to be healthy together now. I just can't do it on my own with DH and the kids eating junk food, chocolate and bickies every second day!! But I am feeling like eating healthy food with the pg which is always a plus!
-
I've had a naughty week with Mothers Day and DS's birthday. I've put on what I've lost *sigh* but I know why and I have no excuses. I just ate too much cake and sweets this week. I'm looking forward to a better effort this coming week. I'm hoping to get in some more exercise as well.
-
Hi girls! I have been in the Diet and weight loss thread but thought I'd join you all here to get a bit more motivation. I have about 5-10kg to go to get to my goal weight. Hopefully when I weigh myself tomorrow it will be closer to 5 than 10!
-
Hope everyone is feeling good for the start of a new weight loss week..... I had a bit of a loss last week but must admit i didn't do too well with sticking to the eating side of things.
We are moving this w/end so LOTS of packing going on, having slow cooker meals and quick and easy for the rest of the week but am thinking lots of fruit will make for quick on the go snacks.
My knee has been killing me and have to go get results of bloods tomorrow to see if it's Arthritis, :crossfingers: we figure out what it is so i can start treating the problem, am still walking to the letterbox and back with the girls every day... i know it's not much but it's something and something is better than nothing.
Fuzzywuzzy - :welcome: and GL
Eluned - I'm sure you'll be back on track this week, i hate easter and mothers day etc... all planned against me loosing weight :rofl:
Lilias - keep up the great work, hopefully your DH will join in and help out, it's great your feeling like eating healthy, sometimes although you put on weight PG can be the best thing for you to get a better routine. is there any way you can slowly decrease the amount of biscuits etc in the house, i have stopped buying cordial, buy a packet of milk arrowroot for DD1 and thats it, otherwise she gets fruit (which she loves anyway) and we normally share some fruit with lunch or for a snack.
To everyone else.. keep up the great work.
