The BellyBelly Body Transformation Challenge, Week 5!

[Aimz]

I drank quite a bit on the weekend and nothing during the week.

I usually have either vodka with cranberry juice or midori with lemonade.

I have been eating reasonably well - still no going over 1200 calories a day but I probably could be eating better, fresher foods. In this heat I have found that fruit and yogurt are my favourites and I will happily have this for breakfast and lunch. Seeing as I go for a walk in the evenings my dinner is usually something light.

I probably could push myself harder on my walks (1 hour a day) and I could step up my light weights even more. I haven't lost motivation yet - I'm still determined - but it's so hard when I'm not seeing results. I think once I get under 70kgs (currently 71.2) I will be more motivated because it will feel so close. I'm just finding it impossible to budge that kilo!! Is it only going to get harder??

Mollycat I'm with you all the way babe!! We can do it together - I'll hold your hand

Good Luck today girls!
I quickly jumped on the scales this morning and looks like I've lost 200g but I haven't fed DS so my boobs are full and I need to go to the loo so hopefully I would have lost more after that Haven't done measurements yet.

DP & I are going out to dinner tonight and I'm really looking forward to it. We haven't been out since before DS was born so I'm going to enjoy everything I eat and not stress about eating bad. It's my night off!

Had a great pilates workout last night. The instructor had me doing advanced moves (I'm in a beginners class) so I'm definitely getting stronger again. I was in the advanced class before I got pregnant.

This morning I'm going to do a c25k (week 3) session on my cross trainer. I love doing my cross trainer because I can read at the same time and I'm reading Twilight atm. I get so engrossed in the book, the workout seems like nothing!

Amy - I don't think the midori is too bad but soft drink is loaded (you knew that right though I am sure), or do you have diet lemonade with it? I think it is great you had a loss though. I didn't and I know it is better to lose it slowly. OMG though I know what you mean, I wish I could lose 1kg per week every week, then I would definately be motivated to the extreme!!!

Laranna - my niece has all the books on Twilight, she is so addicted and I have heard they are excellent! I saw the movie last week. Holy cr*p is is awesome, Edward Cullen is a bit hot right now. What a great flick!! Have you seen it? Enjoy dinner tonight and enjoy your splurge!

Amysarah- Dont be so hard on yourself hun. Maybe you dont actually need to lose alot iykwim (from memory we were similar weights). You may be tall you may naturally have a bigger build etc. If you are eating well and exercising you should be proud of yourself no matter what. Just think of the health benefits of what you are doing rather than the No. on the scales. Hey maybe you are turning all your fat into muscle. For me i am losing weight and CM's but i havent toned a lot as my exercise has really dwindled since DH has been home.

I have lost another KG this week making it a 5.3kg loss in the 5wks i am very proud of myself and am starting to see the difference. They say 6kg is a dress size and my clothes are all getting on the bigger side which is great but not when i dont have the money for a new wardrobe iykwim.

Hang in there every one who is disappointed in there weigh ins. Last week i showed a 100g loss this week 1kg. Our bodies change so much hormonally that sometimes wk by wk can make it really hard to tell whats going on. Like i said to Amy if you are doing the right things you should be proud of yourself no matter what.

I am proud of you all

Maybe you dont actually need to lose alot iykwim (from memory we were similar weights). You may be tall you may naturally have a bigger build etc.

I am actually quite short (164cm) and I have a tiny frame. Even though I am 71.2 (which for some is their idea weight) on my tiny frame it means I have to try and squeeze into a size 14 pair of jeans. Before I stacked on this weight I was a size 10 and very healthy (in terms of BMI) so that is what I'm aiming for.

Oh ok hun i didnt mean to offend you in anyway just wanted to try and cheer you up a little. You are doing so well and putting in 110%. Do you mind me asking you your goal weight? I am similar height and started off at 74.2kg. I am now down to 68.9kg and my goal was to get to 64kg. I am still wearing my size 14's (and the odd bigger size12) though i am prob closer to a 12 now but i dont want to squeeze into a smaller size and then look bigger because of the bulging love handles etc. Wish i lived closer to you so i could tag along on your walks and exercise.

[Aimz]

Oh I wasn't offended Hoody!!! Just clarifying!! LOL

My goal weight is 60kgs. It sounds like we are very similar - we'll see if I can work my butt off to catch up to you as my starting weight was 74kg too!

We can do it together in spirit - you don't have very long to go at all!!!
