but i think i need a holiday lol
Hi guys. I have still been so sick with vertigo - most days I have been hardly able to get out of bed. This morning I looked after DS with great difficulty but am now back in bed with my laptop - why didn't I think of it before? Hopefully I am getting a bit better but I kind of swing back and forth. It is supposedly pretty common and something to do with my ears. In some people its lasts weeks to months !!!! But the dr said hopefully at my age it won'y last too much more than a week. I lost 1.5kg this week just due to the fact I couldn't eat. Hopefully I won't put too much of it back on. It sure is nice to eat again and last night I even ate at the table and had dessert. So anyway not up to exercise yet but hopefully at least by Wed for soccer - otherwise I will have my cranky pants on!!!
Hope everyone is doing well. Just about to get to the inbox. Take care!
Krys- get better soon hun. That sounds awful :hug:
Kawazuki- good work on geing back on track! :clap:
I can only see the last page so will have to come back later with some more personals.
AFM- I have lost 1.5kg YAY! No exercise this week although I have been so busy that I think I have been doing more incidental exercise than I thought. I have also been having yummy soups for dinner. I love the velish soups So easy to throw in my handbag as well in the morning when I havent had time to pack a lunch. Am also loving fantastic rice crackers with hommus and sometimes I jsut lick the flavour off (the best bit) and give them to the dogs! :rofl: I know gross but they dont care and then I get less calories!
Will measure myself later then PM Krysalis the results as I havent done measurements for ages adn the tape is in DDs room after she thought it looked like a good toy!
Congrats BellaBambina that is a fantastic loss! I need to kick myself up the butt, I'm not doing the greatest and not trying hard enough! Now I'm over my cold and bub is past her cold and wonder week/growth spurt this week I'm going to make an effort! Lost a little this week but still would like more!
Hi all, haven't been very motivated as I haven't lost any weight for a couple of weeks, stuck on the same number. Eating well but not strictly. Haven't been able to do ant exercise the last few days as my pelvis is sore and physio says I need to rest it.
Hopefully I can get back into some exercise soon.
Oooh WTG Ali!!!
Kawazuki, totally agree with getting rid of the bad choices making it easier.....boring, but easier :D
Krys, again, hun, really hope it's disappearing fast. :hug:
Alison that's the way!!
AFM lost 800gm, so not bad, but not great. Very little exercise this weekend as I have a (couch) bottom problem (cough) :redface:.....
woo hoo everyone..
im being evry good today.. no snacking so far :D which si a bibg thing for me.
had banana smoothie for breaky and cuppa tea..
lun ch ham sandwhich with no butter or extras.
i dont think i have lost anything since last weigh in lol i cant remember but i dont think i gained either :D
Back on the wagon today, after I had a 'day off' yesterday. Had so much bad food!
But so far so good today. A couple of vita brits for breakfast, half a banana, one malt biscuit, low fat yogurt and a tuna sandwich for lunch, plus I walked to the shops this morning. Gym tonight too. I'm determined to get under 90kg in the next couple of weeks!
Halfway girls! We can do it! Congratulations for those who had losses, even little ones. Congrats too to those who have managed to maintain their weight.
It's been raining here. Nothing like several days worth of rain in a place where you hardly get any, to make you feel like staying indoors and eating. I got this urge to bake bread and then had to stop myself from eating the whole loaf!
I managed to lose 800g this week, better than my 100g last week. I was fairly good with my food, but found it hard to exercise this week. As someone else said, I must be doing a fair bit of incidental exercise. Off to Boot Camp tonight! I'll be in a world of hurt tomorrow, but 'good' hurt IYKWIM :)
Kawa - I am hiding my scales from my toddler now! He has already found the Wii Fit board...
Sterla - Go Sterla! Go Sterla! You'll smash the 90kg mark in the next few weeks!
Kryss - Hope the vertigo is gone soon. Good thing you have a laptop :)

Thanks Krysalyss - well done everyone, Kim you are doing an amazing job well done girl!
I have to get my butt into gear, only 2.5 kgs to go before I hit pre pregnancy.........I always find the last couple the hardest though (groan).
Hey Alicia - we have lost the exact same percentage in weight.....how ironic given our babies are going to be married one day hee hee. xx
Sorry i didn't weigh myself still flat chat with the moving stuff and unpacking BUT i will weigh myself first thing in the morning... if thats ok.
Today at the supermarket i bought wholemeal rice and wholemeal wraps for lunch instead of bread, am going to have cold meat, spinach and cheese wraps or spinach and pear.. mmmmm
Am also going to make a massive pumpkin soup.. am thinking of adding spinach to it, would that be nice do you think?
Hope everyone is well.. am hoping that even though it's winter i can enjoy some nice hot yummy food without stacking on the kilos, am trying a few dif things as i REALLY want it to work.
Hi Zarava Flutterby - mmmm I love pumpkin soup, might do one in the slow cooker this week - I made a delish minestrone in the slow cooker last week and still have some in the freezer! So good for weight loss soup and healthy. I think spinach in it would be super nice and sooooo full of iron and good for muscle building........well it was for Popeye anyhoo! lol
Hi girls,
I have been going pretty well but am going to the movies to see SATC2 so will treat myself with popcorn and a glass of bubbles.
Will try and be good today to make up for it.
Sterla- I am so close to getting into the 80's as well. I am going to try really hard this week to get there. Then we an be 80's girls together! Its been 2 and a half years since I have been in the 80's.
Krys-How are you feeling? Hope the vertigo is going away
ZF- Good going on the changes to wholemeal. That is one of the crucial thing I did to lose my first 10Kg. I changed all white bread, rice and pasta to wholemeal. I actually really like the wholemeal stuff now. Esp fresh wholemeal bread. Its all those little changes that add up to make a big difference. I also cut out juice, full sugar softdrinks and always have skinny lattes now instead of full cream.
Alison- I make a minestrone soup as well but add some steak to it as well so that the meat goes tender. It is so nice. Plenty of protein and veg.
Suz- I think the incidental exercise is helping me as well. YAY for that!
Kim- PMSL! the couch bottom problem gets me sometimes as well. I sometimes do the whole ad breaks thing and get on the floor and do some crunches or push ups or leg raises, etc. 800g is great!!
Kawazuki- Good job on limiting your snacking. I am a big snacker but am now having healthier snacks instead.
Eluned- Hope you find your motivation soon hun. I went off the radar for a little while but then found it again. Its also very hard when you have a sore pelvis so dont be too hard on yourself :hug:
Have always had wholemeal bread but i LOVE bread and really need to cut out a fair chunk of it so figured why not try something else, am in the middle of eating a wholemeal lavish bread with cheese, carrot, cucumber, spinach and roast pork (from the deli) have had dried apple as a snack and had a Banana and wholemeal crumpet for breakfast!n!
I haev some frozen berries in the freezer so was thinking later on i might have a yoghurt and berry smoothy!
Bella: Thanks for the extra motivation, lol! :) We can get there. I think I should be able to get there in about 2 weeks.
Just did a big walk with some other mums... then had a small chai latte afterwards - hopefully that didn't undo all my good work.
So far so good this week!
Hi BellaB - yum, I might do that next time, adding meat. I can't drink diet soft drinks so if I want one I have to have the normal stuff - I have a wheat intolerance so not only do I have to have rice pasta and make my own bread (or buy the spelt flour stuff) but sugar free softdrinks affect my tummy as well. Apparently most people who have intolerances to foods should avoid diet drinks and some other diet things like cordial, sugar free lollies etc - there's something in that fake stuff that my intestines can't break down so it makes me very sick - like having gastro if I eat wheat or diet drinks. Low fat yoghurt is fine but I only like the plain yoghurt anyway, the flavoured ones are too sweet. Anyway diet coke etc is soooo bad for you, you're actually better off drinking the full sugar stuff and burning it off with exercise. I read a fair bit about that aspartum (sp?) that's found in those diet drinks and what it does to your body and it wasn't good so it put me off anyway! lol - it is good for losing weight though, when I did Weight Watchers I loved Diet Coke as it was 0 points! hee hee
Hi Girls,
I thought I'd chime in with my food changes :)
We pretty much always have wholemeal in the house. I've started swapping the bread on my sandwiches for mountain bread wraps. They also work well as tortillas for enchiladas. Anywhere that I can squeeze beans in to a dish for extra fibre, I do. Kidney beans, chick peas, lentils, you name it! We used to eat twice as much meat in a serve, now I've halved the meat and make up the rest with extra veggies. The new Philly 60% less fat cream works well in curries. I've cut out all fizzy drink except soda water and use only skim milk.
Off to do the weekly groceries tomorrow. Will have to grab some Velish soups for the pantry when I can't work out what to have for lunch.
To be honest, I think my main problem wasn't really what I was eating it was how much.
