Christy - I love Mexican too!
Astrid - we struggle on weekends too. Better this one than usual but I am trying to keep on improving. I reckon highlighting the weak points of your strategy helps too. I have caved and bought some WW fruit tubs for those times. Also avoided buying more yummy/fatty stuff at the shops. Going with the idea that if it is not there I can't eat it and that the kids here don't need it either.
Been very good with jogs/walk every day and keeping active during the day too. Walking extra almost 2hours a day with school stuff Mon/Tues/alt Thursdays so that should help too - just gotta limit the coffee catch ups, lol!
I must confess to having 2 scones/jam/cream and a small bucket of vino last week at a friends for dinner but on we roll this week. Have lost 0.4kg which is a move in the right direction.
Good luck this week girls!
Hi everyone!
I was wondering if it's ok if I joined in here? I'm in a bit of a slump at the moment and need all the support I can get (gosh that's so selfish!).
I'm currently following the 12 week body transformation. I completed last round last year (for those who don't know, the 12wbt is split into 3 rounds per year) and I lost 27.5kgs in 16 weeks. I've gone on to hit the 30kgs mark but not I'm kind of stuck. I'm hoping now that Christmas, my sisters wedding and associated events are all done with that I can get on track to get the rest of this weight off this year.
I have a LOT of weight sill to lose, but I'm determined (most of the time) to get there by new years eve 2012.
I'm training up to 6 days a week, and following a calorie controlled diet and it's working quite well when I actually follow it.
I hope it's ok for me to jump in here. I LOVE following other people's journey's and I get a lot of inspiration and enthusiasm from reading them. I'm sure to get heaps from you lovely ladies in the coming weeks and months.
Hi Niadalla and welcome!! Of course you can crash our party!! The more the merrier!
Mak, well done with your exercising! At least that's one hurdle you have jumped! And as yousay, losing .4kg is a step in the right direction!
Astrid we don't technically have weekends, as DH works odd shifts and his roster is always different every week, but on the days he's off, I always do worse than usual. But I also do terribly when he's on night shifts too. So for the majority of the time, I have issues, lol! Really need to work on that!
AFM, I am yet again doing terribly....AF is here and I have succumbed to the cravings. Seriously, I suck at this!
ETA, Wow, niadalla, I am having a look at your blog and just....wow!! You are doing such an awesome job! What a journey you have had so far.
As of this morning I have lost 4.4kg Pretty good, but most of it was in the first 2 days. Only 1kg in the last 5 days. Still not bad, but means I have to keep on top of it, not get all complacient. For the 1MKC I will still be doing group A snacks till I work out what my average weekly loss is
Thank you 3littlemonkeys. I've been having a good crack at the weight loss thing over the last 5 odd months. Lots more to go still, but hopefully I can get there.
PP me too, I have 11kg to go... I want to get to 80kg. I'm on 91 atm....
I lost as well just over 1kg in the last week... I actually hate that the weigh in's for the 1MKC is on Mondays, because Sunday nights are my worst. Ah well... it maybe a good thing to weigh myself the day after so I have a more accurate reading of how I am going. The last 4 day's I've been up and down weight wise and started AF but I'm happy with how I'm going. I think I must have gained some muscle after last week
Niadalla wow what a journey, sounds like you've done an awesome job!!! Well done!
Mak: Woo Hoo on you loss and excellent work with the exercise.
Niadalla: Welcome Awesome loss you have to date
ZF: Great walk, very jealous
3LM: with the sugar cravings. Wondering if there is anything that can help with that? I have read in the past about Chromium. I find a green tea takes the edge off things. Really hard to have anything sweet with green tea, it just tastes wrong. Maybe look for a herbal tea?
Purple Penguin: Welcome
AFM: well nothing much since my last past. Oh, work has brought in full fat milk and are teasing my about the '0' sugar qty on the coffee list. They are doing it in a nice way though
Did some exercise this morning, what I could in the 10 minutes I had available of the morning. The dog got involved though and was almost tripping my up on my shuttle runs, then she decide that the best place to lie for a tummy scratch was right under my face when doing push ups - silly dog
