Awesome work everyone!!! We all deserve a big pat on the back!
Yup, I'm at the gym tomorrow with Mel Looking forward to it!
Just came back from going out for tea... It was soooo hard to restrain myself, but I think I did okay. It was a pizza place, and I ordered a roasted pumpkin pizza (the pizzas are about the size of a dinner plate), and I had all but 3 slices. DH had one, DS had one and another woman at the dinner had one. I also restricted myself to one glass of coke. So, hopefully not too much damage done. Hopefully I can work it all off and then some at the gym tomorrow!
Overall I'm feeling so, so good about my weight loss journey! In the past when I've tried to lose weight I think I knew deep down that I wasn't really trying. But this time I feel so good and so determined! I will be thin - I will be as hot as my avvy!
Congratulations again everyone on your great losses!
krysalyss, can you put up what bits we should be measuring up in the first post again - I had trouble remembering this week and had to go hunting until I found a post saying that you'd put them up in the first post (with all the instructions) of the last thread.
WTG Girls!! Look at those numbers!!!
Totally agree Bengal.
Tell me what you're proud of yourselves for this last week???
Me
1. I was prepared on trips and took appropriate snacks rather than buying rubbish
2. I identified and stopped eating out of boredom
3. If i was full or not hungry - I stopped eating rather than finishing the plate
I have a confession..I seriously considered dropping out of the challenge...I'm just finding it really hard to stick to eating healthily and not snacking on junk, hence why I didn't lose anything...Wii Fit kept telling me I'd lost a bit but then the next time I weighed in it would be back up again so I think it just depended on the time of day i was doing it. Haven't measured myself but I'm guessing it would still be the same.
I know I want to lose the baby weight, and I don't have all that much to get rid of, it's just sticking with eating properly that I think is tripping me up. I am addicted to chocolate which doesn't help, and DF isn't that supportive despite saying to me that if I wanted to lose the weight I could (and yeah showing me a pic of your "hot" cousin who has 3 kids but doesn't look it and has lost 23 kg in 7 months then telling me I could do it just as easily (not that I have that much to lose) doesn't really help!)
Sorry for the pity post...I really want to be happy with the way I look but can't seem to find the motivation for long enough to actually do something about it. I do exercise most days, taking the dog for a walk and pushing the pram for at least an hour, plus walking to the shops if I have to go there, I carry DD around a fair bit and have been doing the Wii Fit challenge, but obviously that's not enough if I keep eating the way I do.
SS...please don't give up! You are fitting in lots of great excercise
Maybe you could set yourself some small goals this week eg, if you snack a lot between meals on 'bad' food, maybe you could just reduce the amount that you snack on? Or you could try to have one good day and then allow yourself a treat or 2 the following day? Before you know it, you will have started to break some bad habits and will feel much better.
I have a long way to go and have developed some really bad snacking habits after having DS and found myself eating icecream or chocolate every night I have not forbidden myself from eating them but have really tried to cut down the amount that I eat if I do have some and to make sure that it is not every night.
I also find that reading what everyone else is up to really keeps me on track and motivates me.
Well done everyone on your losses - I feel a bit flat this week but I will get back on the wagon as I have a 100km bike ride to do this weekend - eeeek!!!
We all deserve a big pat on the back!
Looking forward to it!
