That's awesome!!! How do you feel?:
Well, today.......I phoned up and made an appointment with.....*gulp* Jenny Craig!:o I have a consultation appointment on Monday arvo! :crossfingers: I hope it is something I can stick too. Motivation is not my strongest point in this haze atm.
xxxxx
Mr Squidipa CONGRATULATIONS thats fantastic news.
Vixstar way to go on making the call. I think that can be one of the hardest hurdles to get over. I am thinking of calling Tony fergusion but someone told me they don't tailor meals/plans for BF mummies. I'd have to wait until after the end of the financial year (till my finances improve) and I hope to call and ask.
Well I was disappointed when I had weigh in this morning and haven't lost anyweight what so ever. Its been 4days since I weighed myself (ok thats not long) but I expected a 100grams atleast. I guess atleast I haven't put anything on. Its only been 8-9days and usually the weight falls off easily to start with before getting harder so I am feeling so discouraged right now. It must be the extra protein I started eating, lack of exercise. I've exercised 3times this week but I guess that I will need to increase that more and reduce my proportion size. Hopefully next Thursday will show a loss even small or else I am giving up. So loss in 9days since I started is 0.7kilos which is what it was at 5days.
Mr Squidipa - well done!!! That's awesome! You must be so pleased with yourself!
Vixstar - woo hoo, well done to you too. What's that saying, the journey of 100 miles starts with 1 step (or something like that!). I reckon doing the first thing is the scariest bit. You can do it!!
JBM - if you get m/s, I remember reading that walking helps the nausea. And I find I NEVER felt like walking in first tri (felt so tired/nauseas) but it's true, I always felt better afterwards.
Oh that does sound discouraging, but please try to remember a) a loss IS a loss. and b) pls pls don't give up! My DH has spent a MONTH trying to lose and got nowhere, and we thought it was cos of his meds, but we've gotten more "scientific" (lol) about it, and finally he's losing. We just had to re-examine his snacks and increase his exercise (daily walking is really helping). Remember if you give up, you won't have a chance of losing. But if you keep trying you will! And maybe it's just finding exactly the right combination of food/exercise for you? I had the same thing happen on one of my early stop-start :redface: attempts and lost very little but then suddenly lost more. So please don't hinge it all on one weigh-in, that breakthrough loss could be just around the corner :hug:. Oh and the other thing, your cycle can really mess with your weight too.:
whoops double post there yeah i feel great and thanks for the congrats
Well hello hello :hello:
Yes. It has been way too long since my last post in this thread. I have really gone downhill with my eating, and gained 15 kilos since my wedding in November last yeah :o Far out. What a wake up call when your 3 year old daughter tells you, "mum, your bum cheeks are really, really big!". PMSL. Ahh they're so honest aren't they??!
I've been feeling so down in dumps about my appearance, none of my clothes are fitting, and I'm too broke to buy some fat clothes, lol. So this morning, randomly, I said to myself. NO. GET ON THOSE SCALES. Today is day one.
My first goal. 10kg.
Went to IGA to get some ham and salad for lunch, and when I got home, mum was waiting for me with KFC for lunch!! haha! I was polite, thanks mum! And off she went. KFC is now sitting in the fridge, and I actually had the willpower to continue on with my plan of ham and salad! Holy **** that is huge for me! hehe.
I'm a bit of a WW hussy. Been on and off of it since I was 16 (now 26). So I totally know what is right, what is wrong. Point counting is so easy for me (when I decide to use it). So I know I can do this.
I recognise some familiar names from last time I was subscribed to this thread, and look forward to getting to know the rest of you.
Mr Squidipa :clap: CONGRATULAIONS! What a huge achievement! You should be so proud :)
Vixtar - Portion size is such a huge thing with weight loss. I can image how discouraged you must feel not seeing those scales move. Keep up the exercise, watch the portions and I'm sure you'll start to see some results. Sometimes even if you notice it within yourself. You *feel* healthier, happier; your skin is looking clear and fresh. It can help make you see it is worth the effort. ETA - Just read your note on the meeting with Jenny Craig! Great work!! You will do fab on it. My sister lost some weight using JC and she really liked it, I had a taste of some of her meals and they were quite yum!
Mildez - have you done TF before? I tried it once and didn't like those shakes (at all), so didn't last too long. Buy jeeze I've seen some success stories on it! Looking forward to tax time myself too! haha! Yes, healthy food is expensive! And you seem to eat soo much fruit and vege, the fruit shop becomes your second home.
Leesa - Nice work on being able to get those size 10's on (even if the button isn't quite there). You're such an inspiration! Hope bubby is going well :)
JBM - I missed your PA. Congratulations! Yes growing a baby is definitely hard work. Rest up x
Belfie - Are you and your DH dieting together?? How cool is that! My hubby is good like that too, if I decide to eat well, he'll just eat what he's given and doesn't complain. Thanks for the tip. I'm terrible with drinking water and often have to remind myself. Never really eating legumes.. or nuts and seeds. Might have to give them a go! And YES! Breast feeding is awesome for weightloss. I chunked most of this 15 kg back on when I weaned DS at 14 months.
Anyway, sorry if I've missed anyone. I'm really looking forward to having you all kick my butt if if I decide to eat crap, or don't do any exercise. xxoo
I am doing terribly (she says as she sits there eating a chocolate brownie :doh:) I was going to just sneakily not post ehre anymore for the shame, but I have to be real. I need to lose weight. I know it. I need to get fitter. I know that too. It's tough. Another thing I know. I need to get off my butt and do it. There's the bump in the road! DH isn't being much of a support. He's struggling too. He needs to lose weight too. It's just really tough right now. Neither of us is sleeping much between kids and nights shifts for him. But we have to keep on trying. I may or may not be posting here much. But I will keep up and I will keep on trying to get on and stay on that wagon. I will be trying hard not to let it leave me behind....
Lilias, I know how you're feeling. Atleast you have the courage to post in here still. That's HUGE. It means you're not letting yourself totally forget about your goal.
I sneakily didn't post in here anymore. And weightloss was in the back of my mind, because I even clicked on the "unsubscibe" button, lol. Guess what? I gained another 7 kilos! Keep posting and remember in the end, its just willpower :) Admittedly something I too lack (haha), but we can do it together! We all can :grouphug: Enjoy that brownie, but just don't go back for seconds!! You better not girl!! Or I'll kick your butt!! ;) hehehehe xxoo
Lilias... wot tellytubby said :D. I posted on & off in here a few times... and unsubscribed too :rofl: but now I'm back and finally getting there. Just think of it as one "wagon fall-off" that's now out of the way ;). It's hard when you both need to lose. My DH needs to lose about 13kg (according to him, I reckon 15kg :rofl:), but he's found it so hard to get started. Thing is we know we both do better when we're both trying... and also it's sooo tempting to enable each other's bad habits. And once you're tired as well... aaah so much harder. Hang in there, keep posting. Tomorrow is another day and best of all YOU'RE STILL HERE! :clap:
lol me again...
weigh-in result for me... loss of .2kg but AF arrived this morning so I'll take that... and hoping for a bigger loss next week (and to reach that half-way point! 5.2kg down, 5.8kg to go....). More excitingly tho, my DH dropped 1.3kg this week! WOO HOO finally we've got it working for him. I'm so stoked.
Belfie thats great that both you and your DH have had a weight loss and that you have each other to motivate each other. I so wish my DH would be supportive. He has the opposite problem been super skinny. Wish he would gain some weight. His not supportive at all except for expecting me to be the weight I was when we met (26kilos lighter then I currently am) Half way is so close for you. Your basically there now.
Lilias I have been in here before when they were also doing that wii fit challenge at the same time and I stopped posting. It can be so hard especially when you have so much going on with the family and no time for yourself and no support. Your situation sounds tough.
Tellytubby I did the same thing almost 2weeks ago. I just woke up in the middle of the night and thought no today is the day and I am GOING to do this. After reading a post Lilias said about needing cold hard facts I weighted myself. I was to scared to know the truth until that moment and I did and I'm so glad I did as its motivated me to stay on it a little longer then I had in previous attemps (We are only approaching 2weeks now but lol) Plus I have goals to try and achieve now. Next is 80kgs which is 5kilos away. I'm hoping I get there in June sometime.
Well yesterdat I had a bad bad day. I was feeling so depressed that I let myself slip up so bad. But then I picked myself up at 9pm and got on the wii fit and forced myself to do 30mins of exercise. Now it wouldn't have been as good as a walk or something but atleast I forced myself to do it instead of going to bed. So today is another day and FX yesterdat will not jepodise my whole entire week and mean no weight loss again.
Belfie - well done on the loss! Especially while AF is in the house, I'm always so bloated during that time. And double woohoo for your hubby! 1.3 is awesome!! I bet he is super excited! Seeing those scales go down is the best motivation of all. You guys are working so well together, well done on the team work :)
Mildez - Well done on getting on the wii fit last night!! Very proud of you. I"m so terrible when I slip up, I totally have the attitude of "ahh I've stuffed up now, might as start again next week". LOL! Its not even start "tomorrow". Its NEXT WEEK! hahaha. No wonder I chunk it on so easily! I would LOVE a wii fit. I have the xbox kinect atm, and its great, BUT our lounge room is too small, so to play on it I need to do some funiture moving - such a pita so I always put it in the too hard basket. You're doing so well for being on week two! Don't knock yourself over it. The first week is soo hard, and you're already well past it. You're going great - keep it up!
AFM - Man I am SOOOOO glad I posted in here yesterday. I've been wanting to eat, and eat, and eat. The only thing that is stopping me is you guys! I keep thinking. So what am I going to tell them?! That I couldn't even last 1 day / 2 days ?? And then unsubscribe! haha. So without knowing it, you guys are helping me SO much! Thank you!
What is everyone's weakness??? Mine is without a doubt hot chips. Oh I could eat them all day. Mmmm.
Doing well though. Family had a hot chook and chips for lunch. So I had a chicken breast without the skin, a nice big salad, and a slice of bread instead. A much healhtier option.
Also, do any of you have any tips on how to supress hunger?? I normally have a cup of coffee. But wondering if any of you have any more ideas?
Thanks again for keeping me inline! haha
xxoo
tellytubby what I do when I am hungry (when I am been good) is either have a cup of tea, I eat weight watchers jelly as its 0 points or have a bowl of soup I make. The soup consists of only 0point vegies so usually carrot, onion or leek, cabbage, green beans, zucchini etc then I use the water its boiled in and add a low fat tomato soup to give it more flavour. In weight watchers points I would say its only about 1/2point per serve. It is my saving grace when I am hungry or sometimes I will also eat it just before dinner so I only have a very tiny meal as otherwise I am usually such a pig. Bub is crying BBL.
Me too, for me it's the clod weather and terrible boredom. But the only thing stopping me is that we have no junk in the house and I would have to get dressed properly to go out and get something! And I barely lasted 2 days (I think it was 2...maybe 3??) before I fell off the wagon. DH doesn't help. He enables me and buys me the junk when I feel like it but I'm too lazy to go to the shops myself. The other day he got me a huge hamburger and chips for lunch. I wanted to say no, but he was so proud that he'd thought of me and brought lunch and I didn't have to make it!:
With supressing hunger, when I was smaller, I used to have a drink of water and wait 15mins before I ate anything. Alot of the time, I was thirsty not hungry. And if I really was hungry, then I would have a green apple, few sticks of celery or a carrot, go out and do something like hang washing out or something before eating again and re-assess if I was hungry for more. Or try to distract yourself with things. Have a list of things you can do instead of eat. Or have a cup of soup, but the ones which are just the broth not with noodles or the creamy ones.
Really need to start taking my own advice again!!
I have been ok today. Not great, but haven't had anything bad. Just not really striving for the best balance of foods. I haven't had any fruit and have had too much carbs as usual! Not enough water either. No exercise at all. Ah well, at least I haven't had a hamburger and chips! Or chocolate, chips, lollies....or anything terrible like that. As much as I am dying to sit and eat all of the crap I can get my hands on! DH is going onto a few nights worth of night shifts now, which is where I fall down alot, due to being a bit of a single mummy and not getting alot of sleep, I don't cope with little sleep. So trying to mentally prepare myself!
Tellytubby - sooooo glad to see a familiar name in here! As for your question about weaknesses - for me its not really the food, its the bad habits that DH engages in. He is a shocker. His usual line is 'come on, its just one bit of chocolate' or 'come on, what is one mouthful of ice cream going to do?' - and if I'm not 'trying' to be good I could easily go off the rails and just eat those bad foods he brings into the house. So now I just say 'yeah, one bite won't do much, but it pushes me further, not closer to my goal' and that statement alone reminds me to bring out my female stuborness and not give into temptation (sounds like I'm at church now :lol:).
To supress hunger - honestly thats not something I'd entertain hun. I suggest plenty of water (to make sure you are in fact hungry), after 10 mins you still feel hungry, try to opt for protein sources (almonds are a good 'nut' to eat) as it helps you feel fuller for longer.
Lilas - you've done well hun - even if you haven't exercised you have eaten well so thats a good step forward! Giving you a virtual pat on the back :D
Mildez - I find that doing exercise last thing in the day (after you've eaten your last piece of food) was the quickest way for me to lose my weight (after having DS). So much so that i intend to exercise the same way again once I get the 'all clear' in a few weeks. So well done to you!!
Belfie - well done on your loss! Considering AF is here then I'd guess you're in for a brilliant result next week hun!
AFM - my first mini goal was to get into the 67's....and I weighed in this morning at 67.8 - so I was stoked. Oh, and guess who did up those size 12 jeans this morning and wore them on a shopping trip to the City? :D I'm itching to get back onto the spin bike, it's calling me!! Surely some light cycling can't hurt...right? I'm going to give it a crack and see how I feel. Even if I just sit on the seat to help re-adapt myself to good ole 'bike seat butt' hehe!
Hey ladies, I've decided to join this thread as I've started my own journey in trying to get rid of all this unwanted weight. I'm at the totally other end of the scales from you lovely ladies tipping in at 124.4kg last Monday, time for another weigh in tomorrow and I'm hoping for a loss.
The last time I stood on the scales (before Monday just been) was when little Oliver was 4 days old and I was 136kg so I must have been holding onto a lot of fluids. Since having him I've had a strong desire for water... now I'm a fizzy type of girl so it's been doing wonders, I actually prefer water (as long as it's icy cold) to most things.
My focus for the week just been is on eating at least 3 meals a day as I find when it's only me at home (with the kids) I don't worry about my own food and just worry about them. Next week it is walking, I've started a facebook group to encourage me and others to get up and out with a regular appointment at two different local lakes, again this is just a way of me trying to commit myself and be accountable for my choices to ensure I follow through.
I look forward to learning of others journey's and helping each other tackle all the comment problems that can arise when putting ourselves first.
Leesa!! You're soo keen to be wanting to get that ol' bike bum again! haha! Are you bfing your gorgeous girl? I always found bfing to be awesome when I was losing weight. Nice work on doing up the size 12's, sexy mumma on that shopping trip ;) Was it your first trip with the three?? When we decide to go back for a third, I know I'll dread shopping with all of them. Shopping with two is hard enough, let alone a wee one aswell. Yep, I've been drinking heaps of water to make sure that that it's hunger and not thirst. Alot of the time I"m finding it was actually thirst. But if it is hunger, I go for a couple of pieces of fruit. I love almonds too - so I'll have to get them with the groceries during the week. My hubby is much the same as yours - he has even quoted to me before that Hot Chips are good for you, because they're actually potato (vegetable). haha. In my dreams!
Welcome Danielle!! Great start on drinking more water. I'm affraid I'm a bit of a fizzy girl too. LOVE diet coke, its kind of like my relax time. Diet coke and bellybelly. Not good for us at all! Making sure I'm keeping up the water so far though. Well done on making the conscious decision to get on track to a healthier you, we all need to start somewhere :) My heaviest was 106kg, I find reading the "success stories" on the weight watchers website to be inspiring. Have a squizz if you ever need a pick me up :) And I'm sure I posted in your BA, but i love your bubby's name! Congratulations again x
Lilias - Cold weather and boredom are my arch enemies aswell. I'm and SUCH a boredom eater it is crazy. Trying to swap my boredom eating for a cup of water. Could you prepare some healthy freezer meals for when your DH is away? Lean mince can become shepard pie - and freezers SO well! Its a fav of mine when I get right into my weight watchers.
Well today has been a little bit naughty. I got a footlong subway, but only ate 7inches (if that). Which is good for me, I can easily eat a footlong, but decided to stop. I know subway isn't very ww friendly, but I figure something with lots of salad is better for my body than hot chips. Oh, and I also ate two cookies :redface: BUT i am going for a walk this afternoon to make up for them. I love that we have a dog now, it kind of forces me to exercise, even when I just wanna curl up on the couch. I also downloaded that C25K from itunes. Has anyone used it before?? Not sure if I'm brave enough to give it a go just yet...
Hmm I'm forgetting who is our pregnant member?? JBM??? How are you going too?? Any loss? Are you "allowed" to lose?? I'm pretty clueless, so fill me in! :)
a 4kg loss for me this week woot
welcome danielle all the best for you weight loss journey i was 123kg when i started my journey so i know what it is like to be where you are now and well done on the weight loss so far
How are you losing it Mr Squid?? Care to share you secrets?? ;)
i am eating what is good for mw not so much what tastes good i am drinking 10 glasses of water each day i go for an hour walk every day plus prayer also just doing housework ( yes i do that lol) is a great form of exercise.
woohoo, i lost 400g without doing anything much, except not eating extras like chocolate and chips! i didn't think i ate it that much?? just goes to show what little changes can do! imagine if i was exercising a bit too, lol!!
Who here is breastfeeding? Without that many changes to my diet (had take aways at least 3 times this past week although I didn't upsize and didn't finish each meal) I lost 3kgs this past week. Slightly worried :-(
I am, 2-3hrly round the clock. DS2 is now 4mths old and I'm still pretty much the same weight I was a few months ago. DS1 was fully BF too, for 2yrs! I am still fat. Unfortunately I don't get the side effect of losing weight when I BF :( As long as you are eating enough calories, reasonably healthy foods and not going overboard with exercise, all should be well hun.
Danielle I am BF also and unfortunately its not helping with the weight loss. With my older children I also found it did not help me loose weight. If anything it makes me so hungry and I gain more. I find it easier to loose weight when I am not BF. Woow you certainly have lost heaps since your DS birth.
Lilias that is great to loose some weight with only making a few changes.
Well I have not lost anything. In actual fact I have gain 0.7kilos. I'm so disappointed. I feel I'll never get there. I could understand not loosing any but to gain that much is just heartbreaking. I feel like I am trying so hard and doing well with resisting temptation to no rewards. I know I am not exercising much but I am doing so much around the house (like splitting wood, even chopping out burrs with the hoe etc so hard work more then a walk would do) Oh well hopefully I can report some better news soon. I'm definately not going to get to my first goal by the end of June.
well done to those that lost weight this week hang in there if you had a bad week it is worth it
my naturopath said i shouldn't worry about my weight during preg as everyone is different and some of the weight is fluid. it's so hard not to worry though. i have been so so hungry for meat and potato and thats not good for my but. lol
chat soon to all
JBM I hope you can not worry to much. I was like you not wanting to gain much as I know how hard it is to loose but at the end of the day pregnancy is really a short time and you have plenty of time after bubs birth to loose it again if you do happen to gain more then desired. And here I am. 7weeks after birth trying to loose the remainder of the weight I gained. I'ce got 12kilos to go until I am at my pre-preg weight but realistically can safely loose much more then that. My weight range for my height is 61-78kilos. Its disappointing that I've never been a yummy mummy (you know those women who look fab pushing a pram) By the time I will be I'll be planning another or else my kids will be much older.
Well weigh in today and I've finally lost some weight. If I don't gain it back again I've got 3kilos to go to reach my first goal in my 5kilo increment. I must admit I've basically done NO exercise except cleaning the house more then I would. DH is away so I am finding it so much easier sticking to my diet when I don't have to cook for him. So FX next week I have an even better loose. So this week I need to drink more water and exercise more but I'll be sticking to the same foods. So I've lost 3kilos and I can't tell what so ever not that 3kilos is much but I think my cellulite isn't as bad lol. If anything I feel more wobbly and soft then I did before. I can't wait to see or feel real changes and I wonder how much I need to loose before I get a comment. DH hasn't noticed and he knows I am trying. I guess I'll have to loose 10kilos before anyone notices.
How is everyone else going?
Hello everyone :leap: I'm back! and it's great to see some old weight loss buddies including the lovely Belfie & Mr Squid and WOW haven't you lost some weight!!! :clap:
Before getting pregnant with DS I lost 8kg's in this thread in the pre christmas 12 week challenge and was feeling the best I had felt in years. Since having ds I have actively lost 8kg's on Jenny Craig but then couldn't afford it any more so haven't lost any weight since then (Feb I think) I'm thankful I haven't put any on though as I haven't exactly been 'good'.
So now I have 14kg's to loose to get to goal weight and 7kg to loose to get to pre pregnancy weight.
Mildez :hello: so great to be in a thread with you again! I have injured myself 2 weeks ago so won't be able to workout so I will need to be extra good with my diet. Cleaning the house extra is the perfect workout IMO! It's like killing 2 birds with the one stone :D
Cherished! Mwah! Lovely to see you again :). Your knee still causing you probs? So sorry to hear that, can you do some upper body stuff just to get your heartrate up a bit? I'm thinking some sort of arm-waving, boxing type exercise? (lol even as I write that it sounds rather silly).
Mildez - yay for losing some weight I'm so happy for you! I think that it seems like you have to get to a certain point for it to be visible. I was disappointed some friends didn't comment the other week, but then one of the same friends yesterday said oh the weight is just falling off you, you're losing it everywhere & look so different! I was stoked (as you can imagine!), so I guess I just hit that tipping point where it's more visible. Whether it takes 2, 3, 5 or 10 kg to get to that point, look forward to it - cos it's a lovely feeling!
JBM - I remember hearing someone else say that no matter what she did during preg, she always gained the same amount. I reckon if you just eat as healthily as you can, exercise suitably then it should help. I think eating well is great for you and bub, but equally sometimes in PG you just have to eat what you feel like too.
Danielle - wow that is a big loss. I'm BF'ing too. I must admit I haven't lost 3kg in one week, but I've had losses of 1.2 or 1.2kg... but it's usually followed by a week of very little loss and then I seem to even out. Also my bub is older (8mths now :o) and only feeds 4 times a day (and not overnight)... but I'm also expressing a bit & donating that which I imagine must help. Do you think you're eating enough? The only thing I'd be watching out for is that you're not restricting your food too much given you're still establishing your supply with your LO.
Tellytubby - I'm a DC girl too. I'm always trying to have less, but it's my big wicked vice :doh:. I can't believe your hubby said hot chips are good for you - naughty man! I've always had a weakness for hot chips too (wow, so many weaknesses :lol:), but have really got out of the habit of having them which I think has helped. I agree reading success stories helps too.
Well I'm hoping for a bigger loss this week. Will go have a sneak peak at the scales after this (I'm expressing atm). I'm not letting myself buy any new clothes until I'm slimmer... and after a few PG's in so many years, I'm sooooo sick of my clothes. I am ITCHING to buy new clothes. I cannot WAIT to be skinnier & have some clothes that look good. My only bummer at present is I messaged a GF to find out her weight (she's a smidge taller than me and was looking FAB just before she fell PG - and some years ago we were very similiar in our weight & build... only I was actually buffer/hotter if I may say so myself :rofl:). Anyway it turns out her weight was 4kg less than what I'm aiming for. So now I'm not sure if I should adjust my goal down. But it would mean I've got 9.8kg to go instead of 5.8kg... :rolleyes:... which really ain't tempting. So maybe I'll just still go for my original goal & see how I feel when I get there.
Happy healthy eating folks! I'm aiming for a 30 min walk today :)
Woohoo Cherished. Lovely to see you again and be in a thread with you. I miss seeing you around although obviously so thrilled we both got out of the 12month + thread. You and many others were a great comfort to me during some very dark days. And here we are trying to look like hotter mummies! It sounds like we have similar goals. My BMI is similar and I'd be happy with loosing 14kilos but right now I'm just desperately trying to get the scales into the 7's instead of the 8's. 3 kilos to go or 3.1 as 3 kilos would be 80 neat. I'm actually excited about this. Just praying for no more increases. I've had a few of those.
Belfie what day is your weigh in? Yeap express first. That might take of 50grams lol. Maybe get to your original goal and see how you feel when you get there. I would say I will want to loose more when I get to my goal weight of 71kilos (I was 61 when I met DH and stayed that way for years but I was thin and hardly ate anything) Right now 71 is still 12kilos away. I don't expect to get there this year. Maybe it can be my goal by J's first birthday.
Mr S thats a big loss in a week. How long have you been on your weight loss journey? My exercise since starting has only consisted of house work.
Mildez - i weigh in on Saturdays which I find oddly good. It's variously been Sun, Mon, Tues.. lol. but then DH wanted Sat. So I tend to be really motivated at the end of the week prior to weigh-in... and then I'm motivated after a good loss... or to make up for a bad one. And yes, I expressed 125ml this morning, every little bit helps hahaha.
This morning my scales are taunting me. Showed 600g loss, then when I stepped on again, dropped it to 400g loss. Fickle, fickle. Don't think I love them anymore!! (oh wait, that's right, I never did love those darn things!!). Would really, really, REALLY like a 800g loss this week :crossfingers: maybe I'll walk for longer today & tomorrow....
great to see you again cherished well done on your weight loss
mildez well done on your weight loss aswell
i am sick this week sux being sick when you are losing weight it stuffs things up a but oh well just keep soldering on
Mr Squidipa - it sux when you're sick, I agree that it makes things harder. Fingers crossed you have a better week next week.
AFM... 1kg loss! :leap::leap::leap:
I'm now officially over halfway (6.2kg lost and 4.8kg to go). I don't think I could be happier. I've lost 1cm of all my measurements this week, and overall so far 7cm off boobs, 8cm off waist (yay! that's my problem area) & 6cm off hips.
Hope everyone else is going well.
well done on your weight loss yay
Belfie thats great news. Congrats. Thats a Big change in cm also.
Well I think I could be failing miserably. Maybe I should weigh myself to see where I'm up to. I was 83 exact when I weighed myself on Thursday. Yesterday I ate chocolate (more then just a bite) then today I ate more. Overall I'm eating alot less then I was a month ago so you think I would loose weigh doing that alone but no. Anyway I'm trying really hard tonight not to go devour everything in sight. I ate my planned dinner for lunch so now have nothing healthy I feel like. I've got a pile of vegies on but no meat. I'd love to do a low carb high protein diet as its worked well in the past but when BF I think its a stupid idea so thats out of the question. I guess the key is to slowly plod away and eventually if I keep working at it I'll get there.
Oh and I found the best motivation. Go into the clothes shops look around at all the tini tiny clothes I want to wear, thn do my food shopping (to ensure I don't buy garbage) then when I'm feeling depressed about all that tasty food I didn't buy walk back into those clothes shops and look around at what I'm going to be wearing soon lol and then go home.
Mr S - I hope you are feeling better? It bites when illness gets in the way of fitness and weight loss huh?
Belfie - well done on surpassing the half way mark to your goal!!! Not much to go at all now for you :D. I agree on the scales tricking us lol. I weigh daily and make sure I empty the bladder really well before hopping on the scales. I have even noticed losses of 300 grams just after having a shower. Dunno where that comes from but I'll take it lol!
Mildez - have u tried tracking your calorie intake him? Sorry if I've missed it if you have already mentioned it earlier in the thread. I am finding each exercise session tough as I'm trying to re gain my fitness; thus my motivation are my size 8 jeans - and I agree, it works!
AFM - down to 67.5 kg's which considering that I have started doing RPM and Body Pump again I'm happy as I'm probably increasing muscle mass (confirmed by a further reduction in my waist measurement ;)). Sorry if I seem overly analytical when it comes to weight loss guys, probably the trainer in me. I do include the emotional part within my blog ;).
Keep punching everyone!!!
i lost 2.8kg this week mostly in the last half once i got over my cold that takes me to 30.3kg lost now
Thats fantastic Mr S that you are well and truely over half way in your weight loss journey.
Leesa no I haven't been tracking calories. I've started a few times but get busy and don't bother. I've been counting points so I know I am not eating to much. I did pig out on chocolate and did a mid week weighin and was stoked I'd still lost weight. I'm done to 82.1. My goal but DH b'day was to be under 80kilos so hopefully I will be by then. My BMI is down to 26.6 now. I'm still not down a dress size but.
BB in the morning
You guys are doing fantastic!! Keep up all the good work!
I'm affraid I fell off the wagon there for a bit. Lost 1kg neat for the week, which is better than nothing, but I know I could have done better! Back into the swing of things again tomorrow. Start of by taking the dog for a walk.
Hope everyone has a healthy week :)
tellytubby 1kilo is good. I use to loose alot per week when I was dedicated. Most been 7 in a week on the atkins diet but I'm not so silly now to do that. When I am use to seeing the scales drop so quickly its quite boring to see them drop by 0.1, 0.3 etc of a kilo. But I know I'm doing it the right way now especially for a BF mummy and my DD is only 7weeks old so only a little one.
Well I ate a huge dinner. I had butter chicken so probably super fattening. I did have yucky brown rice and vegies instead when I usually have a plate of white rice with it. I'm really feeling quite fat especially the tyre around the middle that sits on my legs. Well almost.
Leesa don't worry about been over analytical when it comes to weight loss . I don't know how you do it. Your bub is even younger then mine.
Mildez drool at butter chicken! that used to be my fav meal EVER! with naughty pizza a very close second:p
Well today is the day for me! I am getting my food diary out (which I've attempted to start about 5 times) :redface:
I am also going to spend a bit of time doing up thingo in photo shop with inspiring images to put on my computer desktop as I spend so much time on here! I will also include a list of reasons why I'm loosing weight to keep me going.
Then I'm doing up a plan of attack as in what I need to do/change to see results.
I always have the support of my dh 100% so with all of that hopefully I will be able to post about a loss next Monday :cheer:
