The BellyBelly Body Transformation Challenge, Week 5!

[Hoody]

Yes its a bit quiet in here again. i have tried posting 2-3 times this weekend but my posts disappear when i try to post them iykwim. My computer is also running slow so it makes it harder too iykwim.

I am still doing really well with the eating and just so so with the exercising but i am feeling really good and so many ppl are commenting on my shrinking middle lol. I tend to carry weight around my middle and had a pretty nasty muffin top but its shrunk SO much already.

AmandaJ- glad you enjoyed the "notatoes" its become a favourite of mine just wish DH felt the same.

I too missed Biggest Loser but i will be watching it from now on i find it very inspirational and cant wait to follow their journey whilst i'm on my own.

I just walked into the kitchen at work and one of my colleagues said "Amy, you've lost weight!"

I couldn't keep the grin off my face

While I haven't lost heaps in kilos - I have toned up SO much - I feel fantastic!!

That's great Amy! It's always the best feeling when other people start to notice. It becomes more real then! Good work

I only managed a 40 minute walk this morning, coz it was raining. I wasn't satisfied when I got home, so I'll be going again this afternoon!

WTG Amy! My sister called me yesterday, after just having been at a market with her for 4 hours, and told me I looked like I was losing weight and looked good, but it sounded a little forced (like mum had told her to say it), but nonetheless, it was said! I love it when ppl I haven't seen for ages say it! But then I wonder, just how big was I?

I can notice now when I lie on my side, that there is a "valley"(for lack of a better word right now) at my waist, where before it wasn't. iykwim. Also I'm losing the muffin top! It's still there, but not as prominent! YAY!

Still, I need a way to curb the sweets

Oh me too! I am usually a bit of a TV snob, LOL, and don't watch much Channel 10, but I remember through last years Biggest Loser how I had just started my journey, and they really kept me motivated!

Good work Amy, that is a great compliment! I hope it has really made your day hun

Rhianon, well done on the 40 minute walk. I hope you were able to get one in this afternoon too!

I had a good day, had barramundi and noodle salad for lunch as DP and I took his niece out to lunch for her 18th birthday. I felt good that the barra was grilled. Got home and went for a jog/walk. In the rain! It was pouring but the rain on my face and my clothes saturated made me feel so alive. I forgot how wonderful nature really was.

OMGoodness i have been so good for so long and was craving choccy so i had some of my DD's rocky road her nanna made her and now i feel so bler and feel like i need to be sick. Maybe i had too much but i think its from my body telling me i need to stick to the healthy food iykwim. I think this week i will have a good loss as although i havent felt like i've been fantastic with exercising i am eating so different to what i was b4 and now AF has gone away i feel great.

Yesterday i caught my reflection and OMGoodness i have collar bones again Not really prominent but i could see them. Sounds silly but it made me feel fantastic

I watched BL today for inspiration - it sure as hell worked. Made me realise that my measly 13 odd kilos are nothing to be beated by. Those people are really hutsy to face up to such huge weight loss hurdles

I went for the first of m,y couch to 5km runs today - OMG it is so much worse than Contours, even when I push myself I don't hurt so bad afterwards LOL!!
