just popping my head in quickly...........so quiet in here............
Think I'm going to gain this week..........
I have been going up and down week to week with my weight and have been pretty slack. Yesterday I started going walking with my friend, we are going to go every morning for an hour, I think this is the kick start that I need :)
Hope everyone else is well
Hello!!
Yes has been very quiet in here...
We all have our highs and lows with dieting but its best to jump back on the wagon as soon as possible and focus on your goal again!!
I have a different goal now!!!! To NOT gain 20kg this pregnancy :lol: So I will still be here for the motivation but the scales will be going to other way for me!! I only want to gain 10 kg (will actually give myself to 13kg) and told my trainer that this is his challenge. I am doing good so far - eating healthy and going to the gym 5 times a week. I just hope that I can keep it up!!
YAY Ngala! :leap: Congratulations hun! So pleased for you. I think you're awesome going to the gym so often. I found with DS I was getting light headed and felt sick so I gave myself the first trimester off the gym but I never went back :redface:
FW - I had a walk this morning and thought that I really should make the effort to get up earlier and do it more often. It was only 20 minutes but I felt great when I got back.
Well after not tracking and eating a bit of junk (first chocolate since Christmas) I managed to lose 1.7kg this week :o It's kind of like the first couple of weeks when I couldn't track properly and lost 2.3kg. Maybe not tracking is the key? :rofl: When I track I lose like half a kilo a week. Doesn't make any sense except that it could be stress.
Kaz - that is great!! The no tracking might be a good thing for you then :)
I got to 16 wks in my last pg before I gave up going to the gym this time I have a personal trainer so he'll be keeping me in line!!

Hi all! Back from my self imposed ban! I too find that the best thing to do is forget how badly you have fallen off the wagon the day before and start again each day! I haven't been tooooo bad with eating but haven't been tracking which is bad. I also broke my toe a few weeks ago and now I can't run, so have got a Contours trial that I am just starting, and also doing my dvd. Seems to be helping and a few girls at MG commented that they could see I have lost weight which is nice! Only 2kgs over quite a few weeks but I am happy that my clothes are bigger on me, I think with running I gained a bit of muscle as well.
Ive also found that my tummy is getting a wee bit flatter and the amount of separation I had after having my massive J has closed. Once it is fully closed I am hoping I will have some killer abs (ROFL - that is sarcasm btw - after a nearly 9lber and 10lber that ain't gonna happen)
Anyhoo have a great day!
Day 5 of early morning walking and I'm feeling pretty good :) I'm looking forward to my weigh in on Monday!
Ngala - I was wondering how you were going now that you got your BFP, that's awesome that you are still keeping up with the gym and personal trainer! I imagine that because your body will be fit and toned it will be easier to lose any excess weight after you have your bub.
Kaz - Morning walks are awesome, aren't they? I feel so energised and have gotten my walk out of the way, don't have to worry about fitting it in at night time between bath, dinner and bed for my DD. Congrats on your loss!
Tanstar - Welcome back! It is so nice to feel a difference in your clothes and it's a great indicator of your achievements even if the scales aren't moving as much :) How frustrating about the broken toe, seems like you've come up with some good alternatives to running though
Tan - welcome back!! Its always good when your clothes become loose on you. That is sometimes a good indicator that things are working cause muscle weighs more than fat so the scales can be a bit annoying when you start building the muscle (thats been my prob!)
Fuzzy - I lurve getting up in the mornings and going for a walk/jog! I think its the best way to start the day :) I didnt do it this morning and feel pretty crap bout it.
But going to a cycle class this morning, so atleast I'll burn some calories there :D
OKay okay okay.... I'm in here, I've been here before, hopefully I'll stay long enough this time to get me moving enough to see some kgs go!!!!
DS is 6 months and I think it's time to get off my (no longer decreasing in size) butt! All of my excuses are running out. DS sleeps like a dream, it's not too hot anymore, we have plenty of fresh and in season food, both hubby and I are great cooks and we love it!
Things I need to do are:
* Get back to drinking heaps of water
* Walk at least 4 times a week (totally reasonable)
* Limit myself to 2 slices of the most delicious homemade bread a day
* Get on the veggie train...I love veggies, I don't know why I haven't been eating them!
I have at least 8 kgs to lose, but weight's not the major motivation. I'm TIRED. I want to be NOT TIRED :D I always feel better when I'm hydrated, vegged up and exercising.
I've joined WW and it worked for the first month and then I got lazy. I'm still doing it (online) but need to be more involved with it. I need a bit more motivation I think.
Random enough ramblings for ye? I'll take a look back at all the posts now, get some inspiration! Hope you don't mind me barging in!
K xxx
I know it's a double post, but it's a new day and I feel like I need to be accountable somewhere...so here it is!
I'm doing well... 3 litres of water today, 2 slices of bread (man that was tough!!!) and I walked for an hour and a half. It was meant to be an hour, but I was feeling so good, and bubs didn't fall asleep until 45 mins into it, so I thought I'd better keep going :)
Yay for me!
How's everyone going today?
ok i'm coming back in too. I ducked into the "other" weightloss thread but kept falling off the wagon - so back in here feels like a fresh & positive start!
I weighed a week ago, ate well but not really trying - lost 800g yay. 10kg to go.
So THIS week I've committed to my plan (started 2 days ago), tracking on CK, exercising well. My DH has just done his back (yesterday omg wouldn't you know it!?!?! :wall:) but it's kinda ok cos he's been sick for 3 months anyway - so i'm used to being busy lol. Just really need to cut out the emotional eating & exercise consistently...
Today I plan on a good 30 mins walking with the stroller - so 30kg worth up some hills has gotta be worth something!
been ramping up the exercise late;y with good results will share tomorrow when i weigh in for the week
hi ladies im new here.
I had my bub in nov. 8 weeks 3 days early and am just getting back into my fitness regime. So for this week i have lost 2kg. I have another 9kg to go.
Newbie here too *gingerly steps through the door*!
Alannah is now 7 months old, we have finished breastfeeding, the weather is so much nicer during the day and I have atleast 20kg to drop! :redface: Baby steps though. I would like to do blocks of 5kg though.
I have trouble going walking with 3 kids and DH not getting home till about 6pm.
I also have PND and Anxiety so I do need to drop the kgs to help improve my self esteem.
I do have Wii and a copy of Zumba.......I also have resistant bands from my Step into Life days........I have NO excuse!
Does anyone keep a food diary?
Okay, off my butt and off to do the kitchen!
I need to join also. I need to loose 20kilos but am sticking to 10 in the next 5months (I'm a bridesmaid and I want to look nicer then I currently do) plus I want to feel better about myself.
My baby is 4weeks old and I have another 2 older children so it makes it hard to exercise at the moment. I'm fully BF so I need to be careful about my diet/exercise and why I'll stick to the 10kilos this year not a larger amount.
At the moment my goal is just to stop eating all the Easter eggs. The last 2days I have eaten so many thinking I'll just eat them all and there will be none left but Ive given up on that idea now. I'm going to cut out alot of carbs and try fill up with soups, meat and lots of vegies. Part of me feels like I'm pushing myself to hard but this Wedding means alot and I don't want to look back and think how aweful I looked plus I'm known as the one that "lets myself go" as soon as I have a baby. I want to look like a yummy mummy for a change. And I have no wardrobe that fits.
Vixstar I don't keep a food diary. I never have but its a good idea. I love WW but I gave my books to my MIL and am too scared to ask for them back. I know she still uses them. I have lost 30kilos in the past through WW.
Would any one recommend Zumba? I'd like to try it but would hate to pay the money not to use them. Do you need a large dance space as thats something I don't have.
I have a friend who lost prolly over 30kgs on Zumba. She had a copy of it and started doing it at home once a day and then twice a day. Then she started doing classes and is now an instructor with her own Zumba business. She loves it and all this in about 18 months!
She has always said it is fun and even her kids get in on the act and dance in the loungeroom with her!
Now, I should start doing it having just said all that. lmao
Food diaries are quite easy and interestingly enough, in the past when I have used them, I have found myself being brutally honest!
This year is my 20 yr school reunion. Nothing has been organised as yet....but I was a size 8 20 yrs ago! I am now a 14 - 16. :(
I'm currently using the THREAT of a food diary. It works wonders for me. If I don't eat well enough, then I have to record my food & track my calories (which I hate doing & don't feel I have time for). So far the mere thought of it is enough to make me avoid chocolate & eat well!
I'm also intrigued by zumba... last time I was fit, it didn't even exist (as far as I was aware anyway!)... was toying with getting it for wii, but when I looked at some video previews, it look just like dancing to me? (not to diss dancing... but I already have some dance-type games). Vixstar - would love to hear what you think of it.
Mildez - I'm BF too, but my bub (like Vixstar's precious bundle) is a little older. Plus I'm lucky in that my supply seems to be very robust, so I haven't had to worry too much re my diet impacting anything (apart from trying to eat healthily of course!).
