Ok, already I've put my walk off. As little miss has just gone down for a sleep which is rare during the day so I'm taking the opportunity as it popped up! Persies...

I am a terrible emotional eater too. My habits are really deeply ingrained, and I need lots of reminding so that I don't just go into old habits. I try to distract myself with things like doing crossword puzzles, reading, doing a task (like washing dishes or something) to the end then reassessing how I feel, exercise (takes your mind off eating and also releases feel good hormones!). If I still want it after doing that stuff, then I will indulge a little. Changing our life styles is just that, changing habits. But we can't totally deprive ourselves of all things that we enjoy food wise.
Exactly. Little by little. steady weight loss is the best isn't it? So it doesn't all pile back on at once. Same as changes. If you only change few things, your most likely so succeed than cutting everything altogether. Hugs.

*waves* haven't been in here for yonks... but just popping in to say g'day!

Am re-focussing as of today after a lousy 2 weeks - gut probs & a crappy head-cold. I think I'm actually back to where I was a month ago... oh well, onward & upward (well downward actually).
Belfie, I hope your feeling ok. Go gentle, ok? Hugs to you too. You haven't given up. Back on the wagon. You can do it :-) we are all here to support you.

I had a great week! Yay! 1.7kgs for me
I am not allowed at the gym to do all the stuff I usually do (bad bad muscle separation only recently discovered ) so just walking. Love love loving the Lose Baby weight plan I bought. The food is yum and easy and there's NO TRACKING! Yay that's what I hate the most.
Owch Kim. Muscle separation :-(
Take it easy ok. As I said earlier, slow and steady.

must take a look at the lose baby weight plan. I'm 8 months post c section and can't shift my weight, I've actually gained it. I am having physio twice weekly on my scar (ultrasound therapy) which seems to be keeping the pain at bay, but I must admit getting to the gym is near on impossible for me to do.

Go girl on the weight loss! 1.7 is awesome.

Hi to everyone else

We just started watching another series of old biggest loser episodes (the us version) so I'm sure I will get inspired and motivated to keep going!

Weigh in day was yesterday, lost 1.2kg so that's pretty good

Absolutely killed myself on the cross trainer today - needed to though, hadn't exercised in 3 days! Shocking.
Hi Mrs Nerd Burger. 1.2 Kgs is awesome too. Keep it up.
its awesome you can take motivation from that show.

Chat to you all later, got a house to clean, then going for my walk if the weather stays nice!
