Today is the day. I don't know how I'll resist the chocolate. All I'm doing to start with is reducing carbs and snacks and increasing exercise and water. I'm going to make a vegie soup for snacks if I'm super hungry. Its a low point WW meal. And look into Zumba more. Its on sale at the moment but don't know if its worth the $99.
Mildez - How did your first two days go? I reckon sometimes the first few days are the hardest, when you still miss all those naughty foods, but once you're through that and start to see some losses, it always helps.
Hi Girls,
I am into my second week of making sure that everything I eat is low fat & healthy (i am not counting calories etc), and I lost 3.5kg the first week, and that was with a few easter slip ups, and only one walk (although it was a 8k walk). I am mostly eating cereal with some added almond flakes and skim milk, or porridge and flaked almonds for brekky, a massive baked chicken & salad wrap for lunch, and some kind of low fat meal for dinner that the whole family will eat. I have been having peaches and low fat custard as a dessert.
I am entering a fundraising walk next year that is over 70km, so I am trying to build up my endurance now :)
I have about 35+kg to lose though...small steps!
well d one on your weight loss
Belfie thanks for asking. I fell of the wagon. I have to jump straight back on. I know when I start and get into it it becomes quite easy. With the chocolate and then a party this weekend I didn't both. I also just saw a picture and I look disgusting. Why is it so hard?
Then to make things worse its raining, my baby wont stop crying unless she is on the boob so I can't get on the wii fit and I have 40cents to my name and I can't afford healthy food. I actually can't afford any food at all. DH has been doing the shopping and he budgets well but the food is not healthy and we can't afford the healthy options. Like the meal tonight is meatpies and vegies. If I only eat vege it will be carrots and a small piece of corn which is just not enough for a BF mummy or anyone for that matter. We have no fruit and only potato, carrots and corn for vegies. I wish the baby bonus would come throughbut that wont last. I know it sounds like I am making excuses and I know I could BF on the wii if I was desperate but gee I need someone to come into myhouse and help me start :crying: Im obese and I don't like it :crying: I've struggled with my weight since falling pregnant with my first but have still managed to loose weight easily when I put my mind to it and keep my BMI below 25. Now getting below 30 seems impossible with my current financial situation.
Oh Mildez!!! Big hugs xxxxx
Do you have any eggs??? If you grate some potato, carrots and any other veggies you have, squeeze out all the moisture and then mix an egg or two through, you could make potato cakes and have them with some corn?? That's what we're having tonight! All you do is take spoonfuls of the mixture and fry them i a pan or on the bbq. It's one of our standby meals when we have nothing left! I think we're having potato, zucchini and carrot LOL.
Hi everyone!
DD2 is 2 wks old today - and I've got a few kg's left over to lose! Gotta tread lightly to start as I had a c/section....but can I join in? ;)
I'm joining in here too...ideally, 30kg to go, such a huge number to me! But at the moment, I will take it slow and go in 5kg lots, so 5kg to go!! 30kgs is absolutely daunting and I just can't grasp it, so I figured if I do it in little chunks, my brain might process it a bit better, lol. One can only hope!
First goal is to get below 90kgs, which is about 2kg. I will go for walks and will be setting up our wii fit so I can just pull it out to use when I get a chance if I can't go for a walk. Also need to cut out butter and sugar. I have cut out most things like chocolate, chips, cakes and stuff. We have none in the house and I won't go out to buy any unless I plan it. But at home, it's eating butter and sugary foods like cerial, cerial bars, sugar in coffee/tea...I need to have fruit and veggies instead! And also cooking healthy meals in a healthy way! I know alot of strategies, I just need to incorporate them. I so need to do this!
