Just checked my trusty additive book:
950 - Caused cancer and tumours in animal tests
952 (Asmartime) - Linked to many health problems including asthma nausea depressions, hyperactivity and seizures.
Makes you think twice about what you eat!
Rory, I agree, it's a whole lifestyle change. I always end up binging if I deprive myself, so good food in small amounts works for me.

i agree with you girls. it is a lifestyle change, not about quick fixes! if it takes me a whole year to lose another 8 kilos, so be it! i really don't care anymore. i am on a good path anyway. going to a BBQ tomorrow with our friends. hmmm....it is going to be hardbecause i am going to drink some wine.

Just checked my icecreams and they have 951 - ick! Won't be buying them again!
What are your favourite home made healthy desserts?
How do you get past your cravings? I am struggling with sugar cravings, particularly soft drinks at this stage. It is easiest if I don't have them in the house.
i am addicted to lolly snakes. 4 of them is 1 point. seriously, i have to buy them every week, i am a shocker!!!
i am so craving sweet at the moment, AF is due!

I've been having a shocker. AF turned up on thursday afternoon, thankfully she's now visiting someone else, but I've felt really blah all weekend. I didn't even bother walking, woke up late yesterday, with a headache and generally feeling yuk yesterday, did what shopping I had to and nothing else.
I did get on the wii-fit last night and kept getting messages - your weight has changed since last time do you still want to do this or do that - well der - that's why i'm here. But I did almost an hour of different things and was a sweat ball by the time i'd finished. Back up this morning (not quite my usual time) but better then yesterday, off for my walk, I added another couple of blocks in this morning and I feel really good now. So hopefully, the blah has gone and i'm back to normal.
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY EVERYONE Remember to enjoy yourselves, but don't go overboard.
Queenbee - enjoy your barbie.

PMSL Rory!
I've been good-ish all week! Eating sandwiches for lunch (tuna/lettuce/tomato kinda stuff).
I'm also exercising. I can FEEL healthier! Can't wait for Tuesday night basketball...that's going to be the real test!
Hope you're all going well!

Went for another HUGE walk this morning, added heaps more blocks onto my route, when we went out in the car we measured the distance an it was just under 5km's. I did it all in under an hour, even with a stop to call the fire brigade, as I had walked past an oval and someone had set fire to some wheelie bins and pushed them up against the change rooms, one bin hd completley melted and the flames were licking up the side of the building. I didnt stick around though, once I had made the call I carried on, the operator lady said I didnt have to wait. So that was my excitment for the day!

Well this weekend has been a write off!!
AF suprised me on Thursday (I ran out of my pill) and the family converged on Friday which meant that there was SOOOO much food!! My Mum and Aunty cooked all weekend and I ate all weekend! I only had one alcoholic drink so I didn't slip up on that this weekend at least. I have a terrible headache today and feel really bleh.
Going for a big walk/jog tonight when it gets a bit cooler and then step aerobics tomorrow night. I am willing to bet I have gained this week. So dissapointed after all the work I put in on Wednesday and Thursday! I am still not deterred and I am just putting this down to a bad weekend - it won't send me back into my old habits - NO WAY!!

i know this is probably bad, but i give myself the weekend off from walking.. Got a long week off this wkend! I did walk around a car display and play with Jensen in the park today tho. Omg i can't believe a lamington is worth 5.5pts! Had one anyway. I had a few pts up my sleeve.
Ww - i was saying to my mil that i thought i should have lost more weight than i have (1.5kg since this started) . I also was saying that i only eat 18pts a day, when ww says i can have 22. She said that i should eat the 22 and i'd lose more... Is that how it works? And also, if something is worth 6pts and i only eat half, is it only 3pts?
Registered User
Hi Scone - If you have 22 points try to use them on healthy things and keep to them otherwise it may help for a few weeks but longer term can make it hard when your body adjusts to that number of points. I actually think WW gives you too few points and that you should gradually go down to their recommended points, otherwise you can yoyo with them. But you are right with the half the points thing. If you only eat half it is half the points. HTH

Went for a 6km walk last night (to my parents house) and then went with them to take the dogs for a walk - so another 1km there!
I was planning on another aerobics session tonight but my girlfriend is badly sunburnt and isn't up for it - and I can't go without my gym buddy! I think I will do the same 6km walk tonight but try and beat my time. It took me an hour to walk it so I'm going to try and jog it in half an hour tonight.
Wish me luck!!!

Good luck for weigh in tomorrow everyone!

I'm just about to head to the gym - yes I'm going to make myself head to the gym BEFORE heading home from work - I have my gym gear with me - I promise I'm going to go to the gymmaybe

You girls are all ssooooooo good!
I have weighed and measured myslef today and I have put on a kg and cm's.....af turned up this arvo though and I feel like crap, huge backache and tummy ache...yuck! So I'm not going to submit my measurements this week
We go to Adelaide tomorrow, and I'm hoping I can be good enough not to gain back any more weight! It's supposed to be stinking hot there too, so that might help in that I won't want to eat, LOL! We'll be exploring and going to the beach too. Adn I'll be sweating my arse off! So I won't be around for the next week or so.
Good luck to you all for the coming week, I hope you all do as well as you deserve to!!
