Sorry Ali i didnt see you had responded to my rice question hehe, turns out my apricot chicken didnt work out so i didnt eat rice lol i had a sausage sandwich, which i know isnt great for me but i was still under with my points for the day so i thought it wouldnt be TOO bad :lol:
:dance: Yay for it not being a fluke belfie! Lol. I knew it wouldnt! No idea about the BF tho sorry!
LOL at your 'joke' saz...i've found if i dont buy the snacks i cant eat the snacks! Checking the WW points has been a huge eye opener! Im definately eating less now which is great although waiting for my tummy to get used to it, been growling a little :redface:
aww sounds like youre not having a good one krys with your ankle AND a tummy bug! I hope you recover quickly!
Seems like we all have similar goal weights! With WW ive set my goals to lose 5% of my weight first up then more and more and more, i think getting little woohoos along the way will keep me motivated :lol:
Big hi to everyone hiding! :lol:

Belfie, Emmasn, Alibaby & Sas :grouphug: thanks for your support but AF showed up this morning, I really thought I was pregnant this month, what an idiot? I clearly have no idea about my body. To rub salt onto my wounds the EDD of my 1st angel is exactly 30 days from today, seeing I have 30 day cycles I will either get a BFP or a Big Fat AF on October 3rd on my due date, just to remind me of how crap this whole thing is :crying: I can?t believe this is happening to me...
OK so I know this isn't the ttcal thread so I will move onto how this relates to my weight loss! Firstly I think I have my emotional eating under control and if I don't this month will really test me and if I get through it eating well and working out, I will deserve a huge reward or something :D hmmmm I will have to think about what it will be :think: The other good news is that the increase on the scales was obvioulsly just due to AF so hopefullly if will go back down again after it's gone ;)
Thankfully dh had already told me yesterday that he was going to give me a 2 hour massage tonight so that is awsome because I need to feel the love :inlove:
-
Cherished - :hug::comfort: It's not fair hun - and it doesn't matter that this is a weight loss support thread - the most important word is support and we're all here for you. I hope you start feeling better and this month isn't too much of a emotional roller coaster for you - here's hoping for a BFP, and maybe you can test the day before AF is due or the day after if you're late. I hope we're both in belly belly groups by next year and even thought I'd love you to be in mine - I have a feeling you'll be ahead of me. :hug:
Belfie - Tops idea that with the buying things you can't eat you don't like- I've been doing the same thing - I HATE mint flavoured things (other than mint lollies oddly enough) so if I buy bikkies, mousse etc I've been telling DH to get the mint ones because doesn't matter how craving I am, it still tastes like toothpaste to me and I can't stand them.
Saz - imagine thought if we all started eating rice or pasta raw how little we'd eat - It's only a matter of time before that becomes a fad diet :lol:
Some of us have similar goals - wonder if we must be around the same height.
AFM: Didn't excercise yesterday - stupid rain and a lack of motivation in the evening. NAUGHTY. I know I need to step it up to keep moving down - Must . . Be . . Good. .
-
cherished1- Awww hunny im so sorry, you'll get the beautiful bubba you deserve babe my fingers will be crossed for you and ill be praying:)
Woohoo for the massage sounds like heaven !
belfie- im not sure about that either hun, it might be though as you wont be holding as much milk etc could be.. i wonder how much extra weight im holding cuz im bf.. i recon about 2kg
sazzafrazz- i think it might be time for me to check out WW too
krysalyss- hope your feeling bettersoon hun xx
-
sas85- thats a good point about heights i wonder if we are similar.
I think im about i 169cm last time i checked

Mind if I join?
I've finally decided that I need to get serious about the state I'm in... Jumped on the scales while visiting my parents over the weekend and found myself to be a whopping 73.3kg, which is the heaviest I've ever been while not pregnant. And scarily enough, there's only about 5-6kg between where I am now and where I was just before Sam was born.
I'd like to get back to 65kg again, but I know that's not a reasonable goal first up. I use calorie king and that has set my intermediate goal at 68kg, but realistically, I'm just aiming to be under the 70kg mark once more. If I get to 72kg I'll officially no longer be "overweight" but I just don't feel good about myself at that weight.
I do have a few problems... Nasty medical conditions which make it hard for me to exercise (arthritis) and hard to lose weight at all (PCOS). Nasty drugs which make me gain weight in the typical PCOS pattern (prednisone) and just make me feel really bad about myself. I have a treatment plan in place with my rheumatologist to get off the prednisone completely - just have to really hope it works and that I don't have my arthritis flare so I can keep my activity levels up.
The plan I use is one my FS used for me while going through IVF to get Sam. I know it works for me, even with minimal exercise, just so long as I can keep my prednisone dose down and control the carb cravings. It seems that most of you go with weight watchers - not the best plan for me as I know I don't lose weight unless I keep the carbs down (and low-GI carbs at that!). I like it as I have my set amount of calories, and how much fat, protein and carbohydrate I'm supposed to eat in one day and I figure out what fits from there (so if I really, really want something "naughty" I can find a way to make it work). My FS gave me limits of 1380 calories per day with 151g of carbohydrate allowed. 37g of fat, but I can be more flexible with that one than I can with the carbs. Aiming for 30 minutes of exercise each day, but looks like I might have to hit the shopping centre to get some rain-free walking in today.
Well, there I am...

Emma - "last time I checked" Do you think you might have grown. :lol: I haven't grown since I was 13!! I am 167 so about the same - thought might have been the case.
-
Hi BW welcome :lol: sounds like youre pretty focused and organised with reaching your goal! Good job! I like WW as it gives me points and its like a 'game' to stick to the points or under it haha whereas with calorie king it gave me 1880 calories a day and i could pretty much eat whatever i wanted within that limit lol so felt i wasnt really getting anywhere
Emma im the same! Im 169cm, well like 168.5cm my doctor got cross at me for saying i was 169cm when really i was .5cm shorter...wtf? Lol
Looks like we've got a nice big group of people with us in this thread now :dance:
-
Ammaki - Maybe your hair was boofier the day you were .5 taller :rofl: What a anal Dr - as if you can even tell half a cm. He He.
-
LOL sas! Yep, curled it that day...must of :rolleyes: such a tool haha. Yes i dont see that doc anymore.
-
Just quickly sorry.
Cherished1 - :comfort::hug::hug::comfort: they are hugs wrapped in a hug - the best kind. So sorry sweetie.
BBL for the rest of it. BIG BIG welcome to BW!
Oh and I'm a shorty - 157cm.
-

-
Cherished - sorry it wasn' your month hun. Fingers crossed you will get your BFP next month :hug:
BW - welcome!!
Ali - yay on your loss
Krys- hope you feel better soon
Belfie - I'm a shorty too 160cm
I know I weigh in on Mondays but I went to the gym and weighed myself today and I am exactly 10kg down!! New boots here I come!! :leap: Only 6kg to go to a healthy BMI.
-
Yay Nai!!! new boooooots :)
Hi BW *waving* welcome. You are organised as always!
Cherished: I'm so sorry. The body plays mean tricks with the mind sometimes. Still wishing you luck for next time though. Keep the mind busy meantime with us in here! What treat have you worked out?
I'm 164cm. DH is 164.5cm hahahahah! he's gotta have that .5cm . Must be a man thing. He used to be taller but he has curvature so he is hunching over more. One day I will be taller than him.
Sas lol about the boofier hair :) clever!
Belfie, I'm betting it's the boobies too hun. 2kg sounds about right for BF boobies.
Raining today and C has a cold. I got out for a walk yesterday but only just. Hoping to go today without her again.....
Had lunch out today with DH, just at a deli/cafe and he had fish & chips but I had a steak sandwich. Much healthier with salad in etc and I really enjoyed it. Had a Diet coke instead of iced coffee too. Small changes .
-
From little things, big things grow... sometimes the small changes make the most difference, especially as they are easiest to maintain.
I'm feeling really down this afternoon. It's the hardest part of the day for me - low energy, bored (because I can't do a lot of the things I want) and it's just so easy to start eating the wrong things. I've just refilled my water bottle and I'm hoping that taking a sip every time I get the urge to go raid the kitchen will get me through the next hour until DH gets home.
Just having a hard day, really - desperately wanted to get out for a walk, but it just hasn't happened. Turns out the pains this morning weren't just early morning stiffness, I am having an arthritis flare with the weather being wet all of a sudden. Another thing to bring me down and make me want to go hit the comfort food...
But I do have some things to feel proud of... I've got dinner bubbling away in the slow cooker and having put all my food into calorie king for the day I'm 200 calories under my daily limit and only 3g over on the fat. 30g under on the carbs, so I'm feeling good about that! I might even be able to manage a hot chocolate before bed if I use low fat milk and just ignore the fat category for the day.

:dance: 1.1kg down from my holiday gain! So back on track :lol:
Hope your motivation is back up BW
Morning EVERYONE :lol:
-
Yay Ammaki! Well done!
I haven't got my boots yet - i may go shopping this arvo although I had a BAD weekend so I may not be entitled to them after all :redface: I weigh in later this morning....
I am on holidays for the rest of the week so I will try to be good but I will be going to a few wineries so it may be difficult :lol: We will be doing a lot of walking with the kids though.
