Diet & Weight loss general support #7

Tellytubby - Don't be too hard on yourself hun. You have had a tough week. Just get back on the wagon and stick with it again. Hope weigh in isn't too cruel for you :hug:

JBM - woohoo well done on the loss darl :clap: keep up the fantastic work!!

Krys - well done on losing more cm's :dance:

Zarava - :happybirthday: Sorry it is a bit belated :D I hope you had a lovely birthday. Have you got some batteries yet? If not go and get a pen and paper and make yourself a big note so you remember next time you are out :D

Funkeefrog - Tell them to hide it. I would be like you and not able to resisit it, thats the reason I don't ever have nutella in the house because I love it so much I would eat the jar in like two days lol

Leesa - How are you going hun?

AFM - Was lovely to have that bit of pampering getting my hair done. I was a little nervous but loved it as soon and they washed the colour out and I saw what it looks like. Had a work function on the weekend through my DH work. I don't know if it was the new hair do or the fact I have lost a little more weight but I felt really confident for once :D first time in ages that I felt good going out in a dress :dance: Had a few naughty treats over the weekend while we were away back back on the wagon tomorrow.

kt - soooo jealous about the pampering, you so so deserve it hun! I think it must be a combination of both which boosted your confidence. I felt a boost in my confidence from weight loss too!

telly - naughty chic you!! I am facing the same situation tomorrow. I have an afternoon shift for work and a colleague and I are doing a 2hr (each way) country trip to do a lecture in the evening, then return home. The first thing that crosses my mind is URGH - what healthy food can I get 'on the road, in the country'? :rolleyes:. So DH is home and say's he'll take me out for a 'large lunch' - but healthy of course, and I'll have a protein drink in the evening to fill me up. I'll let you know how I go lol.

JBM - once again, congrats on your loss - keep em coming :D.

AFM - I'm down to 61.4kg, I'm happy with that so now I'm just cutting exercise back to about 6 sessions a week (2 on one day so I get a rest day twice a week) and still eating healthily. I still get the losses but I am trying to figure out what I can eat and maintain my weight now (on the exercise free days).

I've gone back to full time work last week and I spaced my meals out just the same as I would at home - but I found myself hungrier than I am usually at home. This has me confuzzled lol - I sit in a chair and type for most of my day, far far less than running after a 2yr old and 7 mth old....And I'm thinking 'what the' - surely that can't be right ;).

selfish post, sorry ladies :redface:

i lost 900grams!! which means ive lost 10.7KG!!!!!

:leap: Which is over 10% of my body weight!!!!!!!!!!!!! :leap:

weighing in now at 84.1kg!! LIghtest ive been in years!! :)

Woohoo! Well done TT!

I stayed the same this week so no change for me. Hopefully I will get a loss on Monday - it's been so tough trying to fit everything in with being back at work.

Tellytubby - :leap: Yay so happy for you :hooray: Well done hun, you have done so well!!!

Nai - Hope you manage to squeeze everything into your weeks now your back at work. I am sure after a little while back everything will slip into place.

It has been really quiet in here this week. Where is everyone?

AFM- Stayed the same with my weight this week. Have been having a bit of a blah week but hopefully I find my motivation again soon :doh:

Hi Ladies,

I would love to join in in here...I posted my own thread but I haven't had much response and have just seen this thread so thought I would join!

I just started ww's online on monday so far I am finding it really easy and only needing a little bit of willpower here and there I haven't used all of my point on any of the days so far, which I'm not trying to do, its just happening, when I'm hungry I have been eating. I have realised the problem isn't how much I eat but what I eat and when I do eat bad I eat a fair bit of it,so just making those decisions to eat healthy snacks

I didn't have a set of scales at home so had been weighing myself when we were at mums so 2weeks ago yesterdy (or 10days before joining ww's) I weighed myself so I put that down as my starting weight, I went and bought scales on monday and as of yesterday I am 5.1kg lighter than I was 2weeks before. So I am happy with that, I had also lost a bit more weight before that so I am now 10.1kg lighter than when ds2 was born I am now hoping to lose another 25kg

Hey Jas, welcome to the group!
Your story sounds similar to mine, i've lost 10.7 so far, and have another 20 to loose. On weight watchers too! :p
Good luck with your first weigh in, and great to meet you :)

ktgirl - I hope you get your motivation back, i seem to be lacking it a bit too. Still eating heathy, but only counting points in my head. must start tracking again!

Nai - staying the same is always a good thing! Much better than gaining :)

leesa - thats fabulous that you've reached your goal, and now maintaining! Good luck with it, sometimes maintaining can be just as hard as losing it! But it sounds like you're on the right track, still getting heaps of exercise - good work girl! :p you must feel great, and not to mention - look great!


heading out to a friends for dinner tonight, takeaway. so we'll see how i go! still got heaps of points up my sleeve. only eaten 10 points. So 18 left! surely that'll be enough! :D

have a great weekend ladies
telly xx

tellytubby: woo hoo on 10%, that is an amazing effort.

hi guys
well i gained this week, but i am not suprised after the 2kg loss last week, i never loose that quickly. so since 1st of jan i have lost 2 kg.
i did my measurements and since 1st of jan i have lost
0 off my bust
2 cm off under my bust
4 cm off my waist
3 cm off my hips
3 cm off each thigh at the top
1 cm off each thigh ( if i measure at my longest finger tip)
1 cm off each arm, relaxed

so that is a total of 23 cm all up lost. woohoo

i am very excited about this.
if i go back to 21 july 2009 figures
i have lost 51 cm and only 4 kg. ( see what i mean about hardly moving on the scales !)

in that 51 cm i have lost 8 cm off my waist and 16 cm off my abs. WOW

i still have a way to go but i am on the track.

Well done on losing cm's JBM

Jas - welcome to the group!

KT - I'm sure you will lose next weigh in!

AFM - I weighed in this morning and I have cracked the 64! I am now 63.9kg :lol: A loss is a loss though!

nai: woohoo on cracking 64. thats a great job.
AFM: i have been so good. my DH got some very yummy, almost irresistable bread from the bakery not once but twice this week ( mean, mean man he is, LOL) and i did not have any of it, absolutly none of it.
i am so proud of myself as i do find this bread irresistable and it is also thick cut, i am sure theres only 13 slices in a loaf, it is extra thick, prob million carbs in one sandwich, LOL.

anyway am keeping up the good work

good luck everyone. x

Well Done JBM!!! I'm a sucker for fresh bread with butter too.. mmmmm

:clap:

Hi everyone.

JBM- Well done on staying away from the bread :clap: And woohoo for all those cm's you have lost :hooray: well done!!

Nai - :leap: Yay for cracking 64kg well done!!

Tellytubby - :hello:How did you go at your friends place for dinner the other night? Have you started tracking again this week?

Jas - Welcome to the thread and well done on all that weight you have lost already :dance::dance: How have you been going this week so far?

AFM- I think I have my motivation back again. I have been so good so far this week. I did a workout on the wii fit this morning and then my SIL and I just took our kids for a 45min walk. So feeling good today. Lets hope this week I get a loss again :pray: I have to crack that 5kg mark this week

Well it was weigh in day on Sunday and I was down down to 5.6kg from my starting weight which means I lost over my 5% in the last just over 2 weeks if you read my post just before you will know I don't know exactly how much of that weight was this week, but I know it was at least 2.6kg loss this week!!!! I also lost a total of 12cm his week so I am so happy with that! Don't really think I could hope for a better result! I am still finding ww really easy, the structure and point counting really works for me and I find the clear guidelines are exactly what I have needed.

On Sat and again yesterday we also went for a really nice walk as a family along the water with the kids on their bikes (well ds1 had his scooter that dh carried half the time and ds2 was in one of those bikes you strap them into and they have the big handle you push)which was wonderul

I am so happy that my work has shown results...for some silly reason I had myself thinking I couldn't budge the weight no matter what I did and I was somehow exempt from the eat less weigh less method (I know silly)

I'm a little naughty and have been weighing myself everymorning and in the last 2days I have lost another kilo!! :o:dance: The weight just seems to be falling off which is soo exciting, I am feeling really great and just remembering the control I have over my own body. Just remembering even though I can't choose to be the weight I want to be today, I can choose today to be the weight I want to be tomorrow....if that makes sense?

Thanks for all your welcomes...it might take me a minute or 2 to get to know everyone in here, but I really will try to do proper replies to you all...just not this minute as ds is waking

Hey guys
im on a mission to loose 30kilos im 6.6 down.

Follow me & join me here WATCH ME SHRINK

Well I have been a bti bad lately. Am finding it hard to be good since we moved in with my parents. So over the last 2 weeks I have put on 1kg. Ok I think. then I measure my tummy and have put on 5-6cms. How is that even possible?!?!? Am starting to get a bit worried that something else is going on there.

Good Morning ladies!

krysalyss - 1kg and 6 cm?! Im with you, how is that even possible?? Hmm, i wonder too if anything else is going on! ;) Maybe its just hormones? storing more fluids? Not sure, but it does sound a bit extreme for only 1 kg..

Jas - Well done!!! You're doing soo well! Especially when you say you're not finding it that much of a struggle, must make life easy! Thats what i love about WW, you can eat what you want really.. just have to make sure you count the points! Haha, good on ya for weighing more than once a week! I must say i'm a tad guilty of that myself :shhh: My DH is the worst though - he weighs himself about 3 times a day :rolleyes: haha! Keep up the good work matie! Wont be long and you'll be looking and feeling fantastic!

ktgirl - Dinner out the other night wasn't really that bad! I think i did well. We had thai for dinner. I have absolutely no idea how many points dishes are, so i just chose the dishes that looked healthy. I had plain rice, with some chicken and vegetables, and also a curry dish that was really waterey iykwim (i fugured the 'waterey' look must be a healthier option, cause it clearly didn't have coconut cream - does that even make sense? haha). That is AWESOME that you've got your motivation back! I think mine is back to join me aswell! I have my fingers and toes crossed for you that you hit your 5kg mark this week! :crossfingers:

AFM - this week i did really well! im so happy! I lost 1.2kg! Making my total now, 11.9kg. Which means i'm 82.9kg. Woohoo!!! My motivation has come back BIG TIME now, i'm soo close to being inmy 70's i can smell it! haha! So this week i'm planning on being crazy good, even going to aim for 3 walks! (Might not sound like much, but trust me, its HEAPS! I normally have 0 walks! haha). I'm hoping that I'll reach my 70's in two weeks. So 2 weeks to lose 2.9kg... :pray:

Hope you're all well
xx

Hey everyone, have been MIA since my b'day and had a wedding in QLD on the w/end but surprisingly i ate OK, not perfect but OK.... lol

Still don't have batteries :redface: but i am feeling ok, eating lots of fruit with DD but don't think i am particularly loosing.
On a great note the dress i wore to the wedding was from before DD1 was born and the sides were a little loose... :dance:

Am hoping to get back on track this week.. will let you know how i go.

Congrats to everyone who has had a loss or even stayed the same and welcome to anyone new.

sounds like everyone is doing really well! Thanks for all ur encouragement lovely ladies

Krysalyss, that does sound really really wierd! Could it have been the time of the day? Or are u due for af or something??

tellytubby, I get your logic re: the thai food and you had a great result anyway! I reckon you can get to the 70's for sure! Also I weighed myself about 5times yesterday!! :O
Yea ww's are awesome we are having a crazy busy week here and the other night we had dominos, I was looking at those new pizzas but ww's dont have them listed and then I saw some of the pizzas are 3pts a slice so I was able to have some pizza for dinner and while i still fellt guilty I was still well under points for the day! and still lost weight that day!
Z, Can I call u that? Its a lot shorter to type lol That is wonderful news about your dress! Sounds like you are going great!

So update for me is last night I got out some dancing photos of me last night to keep, instead of being depressing now they are actually motivating! In the last 4 days I have lost another 2.1kg :O I just can't believe it! That's 7.7kg in exactly the last 3weeks
