Sammiejane - lol I reckon you shouldn't be so hard on yourself! It's taken me 3.5 months & nearly 8kg to even GET to a 91cm waist hahahaha! So you're starting just where I am now, that's awesome. Personally I reckon it's worth doing both weight & measurements as I've found that some weeks I plateau on weight, but my measurements improve then vice versa. It helps keep me in sight of the bigger picture having both. But obviously depends on what works for you at the end of the day. And OMG re the hot choc versus the milo. I've been having milo thinking it was healthier lol! Aaah well I'm not too fussed.

Beckoes - totally agree that counting calories is a total obsessional PITA if you do it all the time. I reckon reminding yourself is a great idea.

And thanks everyone for the congrats I'm still stoked. Have updated all my post-it notes to say 60. Just did 20 mins exercise bike. I'm all fired up still lol.
Oh and I have to blow my own trumpet. DH ended up in hossie last night with a kidney stone. And I DIDN'T PIG OUT! I was so pleased that I didn't comfort eat. I thought about it, then I thought... nah, really what difference will having chocolate make? Pretty happy 'bout that too. (oh and he passed the stone & is back home too ).
