Purplepixie - I had 35kg to lose so I get its so daunting when its a biggish number. I'm halfway though - woohoo lol

Um, my new lifestyle was just eating well and exercising! That's about it really! I weaned myself off chocolate and all the sweet stuff before I started the new lifestyle so thats why I no longer crave it. I think if you wean yourself off it properly, you don't get the same cravings as you do if you allow yourself a little bit - cos I could never stop at a little bit, so I knew I had to go off it completely. I haven't eaten chocolate in a while, well I had m and m's at my BIL's place, but it didn't really do anything for me - so I haven't craved them again! Though the thought of farm fresh strawberries dipped in dark chocolate is on my mind a bit at the moment haha!


How often does everyone weigh themselves? I do it pretty much every morning, just out of curiosity. I know weight fluctuates dramatically so I don't really pay any attention unless its my proper weigh in day (every Sunday, and we record it monthly on the 23rd). I think this morning I was just a smidge over 82kg so I'm getting excited about that! Thats getting close to the 70's lol
