WTG Funkeeefrog! Nice on the pampering :):
I wish the fluctuation was that reason - same scales, same time of day. It's on its way back down now. I'm so frustrated!! The same thing happened late last year and it was the start of me falling off the wagon. Determined not to this time, but I have to say I'm struggling.
well i am back and a whole lot heavier i havent updated my ticker in a long time and i am about to do that now i peaked at 123kg now i am currently 119. kg goal weight still the same
Woohoo - well done Funkee, that is awesome weight loss! :clap:
Huge hugs ktgirl - I am so sorry for your loss, what a rough trot you've had. But well done on the weight loss.
Jas - awesome loss, yet again. I love your determination!
And thank you all for your positive comments on my weight loss journey pics - it does really mean alot!
Mr S - pop back on the bandwagon and reach for the stars!
Hey ladies!
Sorry i've been MIA lately. I have been reading/listening, just not joining the convo. Didn't have a very good week last week, gained 400grams. We had the cyclone here in qld, then lost power for 3 days, so it was very much, eat whatever you can - mainly bbq food.. mm mm! haha! And ofcorse i didn't want the food to spoil :shhh: lol
But at the WW meeting, only 1 person lost weight!! Yikes! I think everyone was in the same boat as me! So that made me feel a bit better.
Definately been back on the wagon this week tho, looking forward to my next weigh in, still hoping for finally hitting the 70's! Think i'll cry when it actually happens :lol:
MrS - :hello: Nice to 'meet' you, hehe! Good luck with your first week back, its always the hardest!
Leesa - did you add me on FB? Not sure, but i defiantely want to have a squizz! Will PM you, k
Funkee - hell yes on the suck in underwear! lol! I'm such a fan! I actually bought a pair once, that said on the tag 'loose 10kg in 10secs'! I got them.. 80 dollars later :o But i swear... boy oh boy did they work! Just the whole "10seconds" claim was a slight exageration i think, took me more like 10 minutes to just get one leg in, haha. Thats cool about goin home early, can't blame you! Would still love to meet you tho, so if you ever want to let me know k ?
Jas - awesome news that people are commenting on how great you're looking! Nothing better than a compliment, they seem so rare these days!
xx
Hey everyone, sorry haven't been in much.
Not 100% on my journey at the moment as still no scales :redface: but i feel ok although haven't been eating as well as i would like.
Had a cr@p remark from a Dr the other day saying that "clearly your overweight so we will check your thyroid JIC"
So this is my new motivation to get back on track with this weeks food shopping... damn idiot i have an 11wk old and an 18mth old and lost OVER 6kg since DD2 was born... thats why i don't normally go to bulk bill ppl outside of my normal Dr's.... :wall:
Will make more of an effort to come in and do personals... hope your all well and i'm sure your all looking HOT HOT HOT.
Hi all, can I join in here?
I am hoping to lose 8kg to get me back to a healthy 22 BMI. I've got a mini goal of 4kg by DS's birthday in 6 weeks.
My weakness is chocolate and I have no self control! I'm also finding that since having DD I am constantly hungry to the point that my stomach is grumbling 2 hours after dinner. I'm stuck for what to snack on aside from fruit.
Hey Zara - Was he male or female?? Some drs are so rude. I actually told my specialist once that he was a rude ignorant man... felt so much better afterwards! haha! From then on our consultations were always, quick, brief, to the point. Less i had to see of him the better, and i'm sure he felt the same way. Big hugs :hug: Don't let it get to you, you are in the process of becoming a healthier person - you are amazing.
:hello: Eluned! Welcome to the group! 4kg in 6 weeks is achievable, good luck with your first week! And good luck sticking to your guns at the birthday party! Always my big weakness (kids parties). Could you have some cereal after dinner perhaps? Or a cup of tea/coffee? They always seem to 'fill' me up, because its a big cup of liquid iykwim. I simply don't have chocolate in the house anymore.. i too can't help myself! I figure if its not there, i can't eat it! GL!
grr stupid scales not working properly now that they are working properly i discoverd yesterday that i am 125kg and i desided to measure myself around my waist and i am 134cm ekk after getting over that shock of realising how large i have allowed myself to become i have decided that it is time to do something about it for good this time an dget off this roller coaster of gaining weight losing weight and so on this is no good for my health plus being think heavy is starting to take a told on my health such as developing asthma elevated blood pressure and so on I dont want to die from being this large and the way that i am going i wont make it much past 30 btw i am 29.
It is not fair or right that our kids should grow up without a father and my Dw grow old alone just because i keep stuffing my face my goodness how selfish is that!
anyways i have already lost 500 grams that is a great start my goal weight is 70kg and that fit is well with what i should be for my age height ect ect.
i have a long way to go but i am determined to get there i hope it is ok to rejoin this group again for support and to give out support.
oh my gosh leesa..... !!!! :o
I can not get over your weight loss photos!!!!
YOU LOOK INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even in your heavier photos, gee wizz.. you've got the face of a model!! So stunning!
Congratulations!
Are you finding it hard to maintin 59kg?
You must have so much more energy now.. you look like such a fun mum!
Well done! :clap:
Oh also, Jas did you add me as a friend?
TT - I think you did well considering the lack of power. When we were driving past the KFC on Nebo Rd we couldn't believe how many people were there and Macca's was the same.
ZF - Some doctor's can be really blunt, stick to your normal doctor and at least you might get an acknowledment of the great work that you have done so far, even though you aren't at your goal weight yet.
Eluned - Welcome! 4kg in 6 weeks is definitely an achievable goal. Cut out the chocolate, just don't buy it and don't have it in the house. Even if you can't cut it out completely buy smaller portion sizes instead of big blocks. My favourite snacks are savoury muffins, nuts (only a small amount though because a portion of nuts is like 1/4 or 1/3 of a cup, not a huge handful), mini banana muffins if I feel like something sweet. And exercise, exercise, exercise!!! You can do it!
Mr S - Welcome back! You are setting out to lose your weight for all the right reasons. Maybe you need to actually physically write them down on paper and stick them on the fridge/cupboard as a constant reminder. And i give you the same advice that I gave Eluned, exercise!
Leesa - I was telling my mum about this support thread and the people in it and showed her your photos on FB. She thinks you're a champ and that you look great! She has lost 17kg in the past year and has 5kg to go. I think it's great that we're all getting into shape now while we're still younger and the weight is easier to lose. From watching my mum, it's a lot harder to lose weight when you are older and your hormones are doing lots of crazy things.
AFM I am finding that I don't need as much food as I used to eat, plus it's easier to make healthy choices whilst allowing myself the occasional indulgence. I have reduced my intake of juice/cordial - no cordial anymore and watered down juice to reduce my sugar intake. Am walking twice a day now, once to the shops in the morning and again at night with the dogs
i have started to excersise again even though i cant always get out and go for a walk i still make the most of it around the house. still craving the not good stuff but not giving in so much
hey guys!
I'm joining this little thread in the hopes that I can lose a few kg's!
Currently I weight 78kgs (2kg's to go and I'll be back to pre-preg weight) I'm about 165ish cm's tall and I'd like to lose 10kg's, once I get there I'll reassess, see if I'm happy or not and take it from there, I once weighed 58kg's in my high school days, but now that seems slightly extreme! I'd like to do it while I have BF as a little cheat tool XD
The last week I've starting going for an hour walk during the mornings but the thing I'm finding the hardest is watching what I eat... BF makes me feel famished 24/7 and I need to start replacing the quick stacky stuff for something more healthy, perhaps even having more smaller meals during the day rather than three biggish ones with crap inbetween... The info I have is all there, i just need a bit more motivation to put it into practice!
So here's to you guys being my inspiration! *chink*
:hello: Hello teagz and welcome!
I'm also bfing, and know exactly what you mean about getting sooo darn hungry! I'm on ww, and bfing mums get an extra 7 points. Which is 7 pieces of bread, if that puts it into perspective for you?
good luck!
7 peices of bread? holy crap! that's alot...
Yeah mum mentioned something about ww doing a BF friendly "course" How are you finding it?
Finding it really good! Very easy, and the recipes are great for the whole family! Haven't had any problems at all with my supply, which was my biggest worry. And i've lost 14kg in 10 weeks :)
Yep! 7 points is ALOT! Most days Im well under in my points :)
tellytubby, yeah I usually have a tea or milo in the evenings. It's sooo hard not to eat something though. The breastfeeding makes me really famished as well. Up until last week I was just having a sandwhich (honey or jam) in between meals and in the evenings after dinner. I was eating half a loaf of bread a day :omg: but kind of cut back on that now.
funkeefrog - it all sounds so simple ;) if I buy chocolate, I'm embarrassed to say that I will eat it that day all in one sitting. Yes, an entire block of dairy milk :redface: So it rarely lasts the week. But then if I have to duck out to the shops during the week, I'll grab myself a chocolate bar. Although, I must say I have been good this past week and have avoided the temptation! I knew we would have chocolate cake for my birthday dinner yesterday so I saved myself for that.
Aside from the chocolate, I think I'm pretty good with my meals. Porridge and fruit for breakfast. Salad sandwiches or toasted baked bean sandwiches for lunch. Dinners vary, I try to make healthy but I have cut down my portion sizes, was eating the same as DH. I never let him serve up my dinner because he fills my entire plate!
So I need to ramp up my exercise. I'm only managed a couple of 45 minute walks a week at the moment due to a dodgy pelvis but that is improving and soon I will be able to get back into Pilates as well and more intense/regular walks.
Eluned, DH fills my entire plate too if he dishes my tea up! When I comment on it he say's "well you are sustaining two" argh! There is actually so much on it that I can never finish it... so, it's alot because I'm such a pig these days XD The amount of weight I could have lost if I had actually *tried* by now is a little mind boggling... I've eaten like a pig the last 10 weeks and I'm only 2 kg's away from my pre-preg weight. Go the breastfeeding!
But, it's time to pull my finger out, because once the breast feeding is gone I'm going to be set in a nasty nasty habit and turn into something I don't really wanna be.
Hi everyone. Sorry I have not been in much. Have had a couple of crappy weeks but back on track now. Put on a little but have weighed myself this morning and I am back to where I was before the crappy couple of weeks so am pleased about that. Official weigh in day will be Friday again.
I will try and catch up on what I have missed and do some personals later. The twinnies are just starting to wake up so I better go and get them out of bed.
when is everyones weigh in days?
I'm doing my official weigh ins on Fridays, although I do tend to jump on the scales almost everyday :)
i need to buy some scales!
I have some but have needed batteries for MONTHS... :rofl::
just letting you know that i am still alive. i havn't moved on the scales but have ramped it up with my good eating the last few days.
dh and i went to melb last week for 2 days and i was too scared to weigh myself after maccas and pizza, it was not good. but a good little break for us with no kids.
i have decided that i am going to get back into my bike riding, once a week, early morning. i am going to go for a 30 min ride.
sorry no personals, am at work ATM. chat soon
Weigh in day for me and this week I have actually lost 1.8kg!! But because I put on a little bit over the last couple of weeks that weight loss puts me about .5 lower than I was before I gained a bit so I am pleased with that.
JBM- Hope you enjoyed your trip to Melbourne. Good work with planning the bike rides!!
Eluned - How did you go with weigh in today? It sounds like you are eating really healthy meals :clap:
Teagz - :hello: How are you going this week. I think having more meals and making them smaller works well. I always find when I eat 5 times a day I lose more weight than when I only eat 3 times a day. I just try and have something healthy for the snacks like a low fat yoghurt or fruit.
Mr Squidipa - Well done on not giving into your cravings so much!!
Hi to everyone else. I hope you are all having a good day. How is everyone going staying away from the easter eggs? So far I have resisted, lets hope I resist for a little longer :pray:
hey lovely's!
Well this week I lost 1kg. Not bad considering I went for a walk once... mind you I've been running around like a moron most of the week. I was naughty last night tho and had a lamington as a late night snack. :redface: I don't think that would have done too much damage tho... i hope.
Not too worried about easter eggs, i'm not a big choccie eater - I'm a hoarder, then other people end up eating them for me XD My problem is going to be while we're away down south for easter, and the amazing fish and chip shop that's close by - best fish and chips in whole of WA, I swear to you
ktgirl! congrats on the 1.8! Woop! That's quite a good effort in a week!
hey does anyone watch the biggest loser? I'm addicted (when I can get to it that is!) those guys are so inspirational... and so strong with just putting themselves out there like they do.
anyway i must be off and packing!
Happy easter! xx
ktgirl & teagz - woohoo on the weight loss!! Awesome work girls :)
I've only lost 100 grams this week :( Dismal! But I guess any loss is better than a gain. I caved last night and ate chocolate (nearly a whole block) :redface: I'm so terrible when it comes to chocolate. I can't resist it. If it's not in the house then I can't eat it, but how do I resist buying it at the shops? Easter is going to kill me! I told DH not to get me any eggs at all.
ETA: yep I like watching TBL as well especially the masterclass episodes. They have all lost so much weight, it's inspiring!
well done on the 1.8kg loss my weigh in day is tomorrow
well today is my weigh in day and i lost 4.8kg this week suprised me must be a first week thing:lol:
Well done Mr Squidipa!! :D
Nice work!!!
I lost 800grams this week, meh. Suppose better than nothing!
thanks yes 800 grams is 800 less grams you have to carry around with you so well done on that
Well done everyone on losing weight this week!!:hooray:
mr squidpa: great job with the weight loss, keep up the good work
tellytubby: good work, any weight loss is good and imagine if you lost that each week for 10 weeks, that'd be nice hey. keep up the good work.
hi to everyone else.
i have been a little slack. havn't moved this month all that much. i am 88.3 kg this morning.
thats only 3 kg this year lost so far, so an average of 1 kg a month. i suppose if i kept that up, i'll loose 12 kg by the end of the year and i'd be happy with that !
i did my measurements also and have lost a little more, not much, but a little more.
about 25cm this year. inc 4 more off my waist and abs and 3 cm off my hips.
i need to get serious about it and get some of those cm's to really move.
been good over easter so far which is amazing in itself
chat soon
good luck to everyone.
Hi all,
My weigh ins have been all over the place lately. I think I've lost 1.1kg the last week and a bit, 0.4kg over the easter weekend which I'm pretty happy with. I have been eating chocolate but I broke my bunny into 25g portions which is about 500kj and eating it as a morning or afternoon tea snack. Got a wedding in Sydney this weekend and another new dress to look hot in! :dance:
Ktgirl - Yay for being back under your previous weight! I hope the weight continues to come off
Teagz - great work on losing 1kg! I haven't watched any of TBL this year, I watched it last year though (didn't really motivate me)
Eluned - a small loss is definitely better than a gain. I am finding that I can reduce the portion sizes of chocolate and still be satisfied. You need to find the will power within yourself, you can do it!
Mr Squidipa - That is an awesome loss, keep doing whatever it is that you are doing, it's obviously working!
TT - 800g is great work chicky, keep it up.
JBM - Nice work on losing those extra cm's!
Hi to everyone else, i'm sure that I've missed some people
My weigh in day is Friday. I forgot to record it (you know when you see the number and you're sure you'll remember it, then don't? LOL). I have no idea where I'm at other than the scales are doing a lot of moving.... down then up then down then up... I have no self control, especially over easter! Love my chocolate.
I know all I need is 1 or 2 good weeks and I'll be at my mini goal weight... :redface:
Hi all,
I'm so tired cant even type lol but just saying hi lol
lol Jas, the fact that you are posting in the thread at least means that you're thinking about diet and weight loss and that's got to be a good thing :D
Lol Yep Funkee Frog my mind is still on the job haha
Well wi was sun and I lost 1.6kg and 5.5cm this week! So all up in my 1st month (which was a 5wk month) I lost 10.2kg and 45.5cm!!!! WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!
I have lost a bit more since sun and am now down 11kg in total!! (Oh and before I started official and join ww's I had lost another 5kg so 16kg, OH MY!!!
Hope all is going well, I had bootcamp last night, its really challenging but I am loving the challenge!
Wow Jas, that's fantastic! It's taken me 3 months to lose 11kg. Good on you!
