The BellyBelly Body Transformation Challenge, Week 10

[*Ali*]

Maz- Congrats on starting your weight loss journey, dont yia think it is kinda liberating to admit to yourself that you need to loose weight, and then do something about it. For the first time ever I am not daunted or depressed about the amount of weight I have to loose, I am excited that I have finally made a whole hearted commitment to do something about it.
As for reductil it is an appetite suppresent, in that it allows you to feel fuller quicker, thus reducing your food intake. It also works to keep your metabolic rate up as you loose weight. It does have some side affects (none of which I have experienced yet) but from everything I have read, they are no where near as severe as duromine. I am hoping for me it will allow me to a) stop obsessing about food, b) get my calorie controlled eating habits going and regular and c) help me to maintain a weight loosing metabolic rate, as this is where I usually fall down.

ALi I couldnt have wirtten you rfirst paqragraph any better myself. I think you just need to find that light bulb moment that allows you to go, thats it..no more fat suit!

Now im peeved at my doctor...ive gone to him in the past for help about my obesity and he offered duromine of a gastric band (no yet thanks). I declinded both and said ive gotta try this the natural way first. Im going to research abit on this reductil......i might end up getting somehelp then when I think Im platoing. And ALi its better to ask for help rather then try and try and get no were

imo - It's so much more satisfying to be able to lose the weight on your own than with intervention iykwim

Girls, if anyone has weights and measures to send me, please do so asap!

I have Amanda's and Maz I got yours too......

Anyone else?

AND DON'T FORGET, MARCH 25TH IS THE FINAL OFFICIAL DAY OF THIS CHALLENGE!

So, everyone who wants to be counted, good bad or ugly, lol, you will need to do a weigh and measure on Weds 25th March and PM mw with your stats.

I will then do a final results post, and then you will be left to your own devices, with an ongoing chatter thread to keep you motivated!

I feel like I've been gone forever off this thread - had a few bad weeks, just generally not looking after myself.

I severly bruised one of my toes a couple of weeks ago and had no hope of getting a shoe on that foot, so abandoned exercise, but that's all fixed and I'm back into it.

Gave myself a pep talk and have climbed back on the wagon.

Glad it was dark this morning when I went for my walk - I somehow managed to jog - not far - but I jogged. Couldn't have looked very pretty, and I felt like my lungs and heart were tearing apart, but it's all downhill from here. Maybe tomorrow I can jog just that little bit further.

Jumped on the scales after my shower and I'm back to my lowest weight that I have been in this challenge, so now my goals are back in focus.

I CAN DO THIS. I CAN DO THIS.. (I have a bridesmaid dress to fit into) I CAN DO THIS.

lucy, if it helps, i.ve lost 6.3kg since the start of the challenge. Let me know if you need an exact figure.

Oh no! I think ive hit the plateau! Motivate me!

Oh no! I think ive hit the plateau! Motivate me!

I keep bouncing between 6 and 7kg for the last week though I have started measuring myself and have found taht ive lost cm's already.

My motivation atm is to fit into a scrummy brown dress that I want to wear to the BB meet up in Melbourne this June. bring it on I say.

I tried on a pair of my jeans that Ih ad really bad muffin top and camle toe in, that I also couldnt do up...they fit like a glove now and their a 20!!!! yay!!!

I walked into town today also...4km there and 4km's back. I thought Id be knacked by it but surprisingly I feel fantastic.

Gotta stay positive and keep thinking healthy thoughts. I toldf Jed last night its even harder for me (he's doing it too) cause I have to make the kids meals which is so easy to pick at but no..Im standing strong. I havent gotten this far for nothing!
