Subbing to this thread I need a kick up the backside to lose these last few kilos. I am maintaining a 20kg loss (lost over 6 months and maintained for another 6 months) but need to lose another 5kg to get to my goal weight. Don't have much time now but just wanted to say hi and I will be back for personals tomorrow
Leesa, I think it will be easier for me to concerntrate on losing weight if I'm not so overwhelmed by the numbers. 30kg is just so much to me, and seems like a superhuman fewat to lose that much weight, but 5kg, I can and have lost before so it's doable, kwim?
Well off to a good start today, and it helps that it's a cold morning out here, I'm having some porridge with a little honey and a sugarless coffee. Not tasting so great right now, but I will get used to it. I also plan on mowing the lawns (our yard is huge!) for exercise today. It needs doing and DH is on an arvo shift for work, so I likely won't get to go for a walk, cause I have errands to do this morning, then the kids have naps...yada yada! So mowing it is, and maybe a little wii-ing!
Krystals - that sounds so easy peasy.Will make a note of that so when we are down to not enough veggies to do anything healthy with, which is normally the night before our f&v delivery, I can grate up the odd bods and cook 'em up!!!
Krystals thanks for the pattie suggestions. It does sound easy and we usually always have the ingredience.
Lilias how are you going getting started? I'm going to take your tip and mow the lawn (if I can start the mower)
Well I woke up last night to bub and decided today was the day. Although I should have started last week I feel of the wagon within hours but now I just have a good feeling that I am going to stick to it (most of the time) and loose some of this weight. So far so good. I'm going to track everything I eat maybe that will help.
Does anyone NOT know how much they weigh? I don't want to know. I have a rough estimate and I know the goals I want to achieve like fitting into certain size clothes etc and time frames but I know if I know my starting figure it wont help but make me depressed. I think I'll get my eldest to write it down (without me knowing the number) and tell me when I loose 5kilos etc, when I get under 80kilos etc
I am going well these first few days. I have renewed my membership with Calorie King, it helped me focus on eating well and losing the little weight I did lose between my boys before I got pg again. It keeps on telling me that I shouldn't be doing it because I'm bfing, but it's accomodated extra calories for me. Does anyone know, 2000 calories is alright for a bfing mumma, right?? I did some light exercise, just some walking, though it was with DD so it wasn't at the pace I would have liked but it was movement I wouldn't normally do all the same. I didn't end up mowing the lawn though as it started to rain the one time I get all psyched up and motivated to do it, and it rains! Feeling good and positive, but these are the first few days which are always fairly easy. AF is due soon too, so I expect a drop in morale any day, lol!
Mildez, I considered not weighing and just going by my clothes, but I just couldn't do it, lol! I need hard facts and to see that number changing on the scales. I think for me, it would take too long for my clothes sizes to change for me to be patient and see that things are changing, kwim?
I do the lot! Weigh in once a week and measure all areas of my body. (bust, thighs, arms, waist, butt) When I was doing Step inot Life a few years ago, I lost 8cm of my boobs in the first month! I 'thought' my bras felt better but it wasn;t until saw the figures that I was over the moon! Same with my own personal weigh in. My clothes might feel butter on me but when I see the needles dropping...well....I like that feeling!
Fair bit of walking today and a good lunch - fish and fresh salad. I eat quite well but it my portion sizes that bring me down.
