Diet & Weight loss general support #5

[Cherished]

Nai that is awesome I too am expecting to see a 6 in front of my weight next Monday. I sure could do with some daily encouraging this week to make it happen so I'll be on this thread everyday posting about what I am doing...

Mr Squidipa my goal was to loose 15kg, I still have 12kg to go

Once I get off the computer and have a nana nap I am going to walk on the treadmill for ab out 45 mins, I've had a good breakfast and lunch and intend to have salad and some soup with a slice of my freshly made organic spelt bread for my early dinner

[Mr Squidipa]

[YoYo]

Hi everyone. Sorry I am so far behind to do personals. I am on dial-up atm and haven't been too focused on my weight loss over the last couple of weeks. But will still weigh-in tomorrow and see where I am up to. Bad news though that I sprained my ankle at soccer on Friday and it looks like it isn't healing quickly like I had hoped. Hopefully it will be better by this Fridays game but I doubt it. So most of my usual exercise (cycling/jogging) is also out. So I have to be really good with my eating to make up for it. Anyway everyone seems to be going well. Hopefully I will get some time in the next few days to catch up better with the thread. Bye all!

Howdy slimmers

Mr Squidipa, I had 46kg in total to lose !!!!!!!!! Still a lonnng way to go....

Who here is doing Weight watchers? How are you finding it? I go to meetings and am finding it really supportive. I need to weigh in front of others I think and have others notice if I stop going.

Well silly me has ONLY JUST realised there was a new thread!!

Weighed in after my 2 week holidays, i think my scales need new batteries as first they said id lost a kilo then that id gained...

Great loss Mr S!!! Thats awesome!! Are you exercising hard? I have ideally 35-40KG i can afford to lose so im in here for the long haul!!

DP and i are off to the gym tonight first time since back from holidays, going to have to give it a good go!! I like my gym but they dont do any classes, i wouldnt mind doind a body pump or spin class ... does anyone here do those?

[Mr Squidipa]

i walk for 54mins each day around our local park that has a small lake that you can walk around
where i walk it has some hills aswell which really helps you cant just walk on flat straight ground all the time IMO

i also push one of the kids in our stroller aswell which they love coming for a walk with me so bonus do 2 things at once

i want to lose the weight first before putting on 2 much muscle i do realise that muscle helps to burn fat but that is just they way i want to do it

Mr S - I had 14kg to lose. I've lost about 8, with 5 to go. Like someone else said, I'm starting to find it harder to lose now i'm getting lower, but i'm thrilled to be at the lower end too of course!

Ammaki - I used to LOVE spin classes.. but not in a gym atm, so I do my own version at home with the ipod.

sazzafrazz - I'm doing WW online and I've found that really helpful! I'm losing very slowly, probably averages to 200g a week, but i'm getting there slowly but surely.

krysalyss - oooh bummer re the ankle, hope it's better soon!

Nai - woo hoo nearly at the boots!

Well I weighed in yesterday, 300g up (funny I didn't post that hey ), but then today I'm 600g down! Go figure huh so I'm just hoping today's is the more accurate one!!! I feel like i"m spending weeks trying to get to that elusive healthy BMI... so determined this week WILL be the week. I'm about to go do a really solid Wii Fit session and maybe a cycle too. Fell in a bit of a hole yesterday cos just found out DS is allergic to eggs & treenuts, so I can't eat them now either, and I LURVE eggs. Oh well, only for 4 weeks thank god (then I stop expressing). But i was a mess yesterday as my diet is already restricted so was feeling very woe is me. But ok again today. I'm a bit nervous that once I stop expressing it will be waaaaaay harder to lose weight - so need to use the next 4 weeks! Oh and I've been getting heaps of comments which is nice, so trying to use them to motivate myself.

[Cherished]

belfie good work love. I just hate it when weigh day is higher than the day before and after today though I was higher than yesterday! I was a bit disappointed cause I ate well yesterday and walked......

Was going to walk tonight but can't be bothered I will tomorrow though

Hope everyone is doing well

Hi hon, I don't go to weight watchers but I think I would if there was going to be any people my age there, I think I would find it really motivating to use it as a social thing iykwim. My aunty lost about 50kg on weight watcher I think and looked and felt great, she found it very supportive and had a support person she could call any time I think. Good luck!

[sazzafrazz]

Howdy! I'm 300g lighter this week Going slowly now.

Cherished: My ww group has ages from early 20s to early 60s in it. I really enjoy it.

Belfie, enjoy those expressing kilojouls while you have them mate! How annoying when the scales say the wrong thing onthe right day.

Mr Squdipa, i had a little :LOL: at your "54" min walk. Mine varies on the day/route/energy levels but I almost always push the pram too.

[Cherished]

Ahhhh I can't wait till I am out walking with a pram! I mainly use the treadmill these days (which I also love cause I sing my little heart out, which would look a bit silly around the botanical gardens

Saz that's great about the different ages... I really shouldn't presume anything until I've actually checked it out should I! I guess I am just going but the general population in this little hinterland town I live it... Maybe one day I will look into it

Now I go ton the scales this morning and was up again so annoying!

[Nai]

Belfie - when you stop expressing you will probably lose 2kg from your bb's straight away so there is an upside! I know if I weigh in the morning I am heavier than midday as DD2 hasn't drained the overnight milk supply by then.

Sazz - yay - 300g is still a loss!

Mr S - LOL at the 54min Try to do it a bit faster each day to keep your heartrate increasing and burning more. I do 30 min on the treadmill at the gym and try to increase how far I can run in that time each week. I have gone from about 3km to 4.65km in 3 months!

Cherished - I am doing WW but not going to meetings as they don't suit me with the baby at the moment. I did do meetings about 12 years ago and there were men and women of all ages there. It was a great group.
