Oh my goodness my legs are soooooooo sore that I can hardly move, we did hundreds of squats and lunges at training yesterday- but it is all good because it must mean I am growing muscle.
I am still realy really frustrated because I am doing all the right things (or at least I think I am) and I am still not shifting any kg's, I know I have lost heaps of cm's but still I would like to see some results on the scales for my efforts. I have made myself a Dr. appointment for next friday to see what to do next.
I guess though that my mindset must really have changed because usually when I hit a plaetu like this I would just give up and say it is all too hard. However, this time I have said to my DH that not loosing this weight is not an option, so I just need to keep trying new things untill I find something that works.
Lucy- I hope all your family stuff gets sorted out- dont stress about us, we all appreciate the time and effort you put into collating our stats.
I'm off to body combat tonight with the torture mistress "CombatQueen"
have a fridge full of healthy food and was able to put on a dress that I've not worn in about 9 years on Saturday night (and I looked pretty damn good if I do say so myself!)
Hi girls,
Lucy, hope things are going okay with your mum??
Punkin woo hoo, sounds like you are going great.
Hoody, I keep waiting for people to notice, not happening yet though I reckon I will need to lose about 5kgs more before that happens.
Divvy, best of luck for your results today.
Ali, the cms must mean that you are doing well the weight will follow soon, you are doing a fantastic job, mentally and phyiscally.
amysarah, I know what you mean re: heat and smoke we are in the Churchill fires and it meant me and the kids had to leave home, we have only just got back in. So no excerise for me just not safe to walk, to unpredicatble with wind changes and no good for your health with the smoke. I see they are saying you can see it from outerspace!!!
To anyone else who has been caught up in the fires or has family and/or friends in the middle of them, I hope they are all okay it has just been horrific.
I have added my sorry stats, kind of could'nt be bothered seeeing the week we have had and definately not been watching what I ate drank etc, but then I thought the best thing to do is try to get back to normal!!!
Anyway hope others have had a good result and if not back into next week. xxxx fingers crossed.
Queenbee - don't let it dishearten you. You are doing so so well!!!
Hold my hand this week and we do this thing together. You have seen amazing results over the past few weeks and you shouldn't let one week of no loss stop you.
my body aches from body combat last night - I so want to go to another class today but I think I'd be pushing it! Tonight is going to be domestic duties - may even paint walls!
Have no idea how much weight I'm going to lose this week (or if I gain any), I forgot to weigh myself last week so I missed out on being counted in on it all.
I have put on 0.5kg this week. Although I did my minimum exercise I would have liked to do more to make up for all of the junk I have eaten. I seriously ate this week as it was Dhs Bday and we had friends up for the weekend and then I was just on a roll. Back to normal today though so hopefully I will see a loss next week. Put on some jeans I havent worn in a while and they felt good. Didnt even have that 'just washed tightness' so am pretty happy. Will just keep it up.
Queenbee - dont lose hope. Remember to just do what you can live with as it is lifestyle change not a diet. You can do this!
I lost 700g this week, I'm so happy since I wasn't so good on the weekend, it must be walking the kids to and from school that's helping. I think I lost about 1.5cms all up this week as well, so in total I've lost 2.8kgs in 6 weeks.
Punkin you look great in your dress on the week you should be so proud.
Keep up the good work girls, were all doing so well.
yes well thanks girls. i went and bought some sexy espirit pants today to wear tomorrow, we are having a family shoot with an awesome photographer. i feel good that i fit into them and they look great. thanks chicks, keep up the good work
YAY lost another 600g this week and i have had lots of slip ups. I think my biggest help is that i am now eating regularly so i think my metabolism has improved heaps.
You guys are all doing awesomely I will try and post more regularly in the next week just super busy at the moment and to top it off my car got broken into and now i have to do lots of running around to get it fixed as its not even driveable.
I wasn't going to weighin this week because I completely fell off the wagon. I even caved into a McDonald's dinner one night. I didn't do much walking (only went twice) because of the bushfire smoke.
But curiosity got the better of me and I just weighed myself - and I lost 1kg!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did that happen? I wasn't even trying!!! I'm super confused now because on the weeks I have walked 30km and eaten super healthy I haven't lost a gram. Our bodies are strange things. I'm hoping that this is a sign I am past my plateau and I'm going to push hard this week so see if I can get a better result.
I'm 70.2 kgs so nearly past my first goal of getting under 70!!

I have put on 1kg in the last fortnight - oh well I'm still looking HOT HOT HOT and I am going to the gym and doing weights so that could be it - I'm starting to muscle
Amy...probably all of your walking has made you gain muscle, do you think? I bet that Maccas was yummy. Now I feel like a cheeseburger.
I find that if I have a super light dinner (and that means no carbs at all, maybe a salad or something), I drop weight fast. The last two nights I have had something really small and the scales are going down again (however....I know, I know I shouldn't weigh myself like that). I have to eat more proteins through the day so I don't want carbs at night. I'm a shocker for a huge dinner.
Haven't walked for 3 days now but walked around shops yesterday for 3 hours, does that count? I didn't stop much, just walked, walked, walked with DD.
Thanks everyone, I hate having stayed the same for a couple of weeks with weight, so annoying to not see results, I hate the plateau stage! Bought some weights from Rebel Sport yesterday to tone up my arms. And a couple of sports shirts and an awesome Nike hat. I love those sports shops, just got to get into it!!
Off to a photo shoot today with DP and DD. Will post a pic when they're all done.
Well I balanced carefully on the scales... most of my weight on one leg though... I hope it doesn't skew my results too much because I've lost 1.1 in the last 2 weeks!
Mind you, being at home, not able to eat anything naughty, Dad making my breakfast lunch and dinner, I can't be bad.... it's annoying!
So no exercise might get to me, but at least I"m eating right.
I've made a HUGE milestone this week. I'm down to 99 kilos. That's right, 99.0! I started at 103, and now for the first time in AGES I'm under three figures! I'm so proud of myself!
And to those who have lost, well done. And to those who haven't, it's just one week. Next week will be different. This is a long term goal, to be healthy for OURSELVES, and one week is not going to be huge in the overall scheme of things. Let's get on the wagon and KEEP IT GOING!
