Sammie - may I ask what you told yourself in your big chat? What did you end up committing to change to get back to losing instead of maintaining?
TT - I'm glad that post helped. It's a bad cycle huh? Dealing with a ****ty situation and then emotional eating = making yourself feel even worse than initially. I've never been an emotional eater, I prefer to punish myself by hard core exercise lol! I think I'm odd! You conciously made different food decisions and now look, another kilo has fallen off of you! Keep it up hun!
Belfie - I sooo know that feeling, but I did have a chuckle at your post lol!
Livvy - I know that feeling. I basically switched off the 'treat' thoughts in my head and flicked on 'its a healthy way of life' switch instead. I do get pretty regimented in my eating, and it does drive DH nuts too! Think of your body as an investment. Only invest in good foods to help make your body function at its best!
Beautitude - Ouch - I hope you're feeling better! And goodbye 800 grams - WOOHOO!
Tinsel - is there any exercise you really like to do? Or activity? I find I have to change up the exercise routine otherwise I also lose motivation and don't put in my 100% effort - which basically results in me wasting time exercising and not trying my best.
Starbright - Welcome hun! I reckon we can overcome that problem of the steroids slowing your weightloss down...keen ?
Mildez - how are you going hun? How has DH been with his support?
AFM - GAH - I STILL haven't seen 60.0 kilos on the scale....
Instead I saw 59.8 kilos ! I'm really happy and have decided I would like a bit of a threshold to remain under 60, so I'm thinking about 58 - but I'm in no rush to get there. It's a brilliant feeling achieving the goal - 8 kilos in 8 weeks. Also, I updated my blog last night. I'd be keen if you busy ladies could take a read and let me know your thoughts..? I will still be around the thread to support you gorgeous women - because I want you ALL to realise and achieve your goals!
oh my goodness....im about 6 pages behind on personals and there are about 10 new people to keep up with now....ive never been very good at keeping up (in belly buddies/baby buddies etc) so sorry if i seem like its all about me sometime...i read then get confused and it ends up taking me hours to go back and work out whats going on.
anyway....hey to everyone. hope you are all feeling motivated and possitive. i did for a few weeks then i have a crappy day and feel like ive undone all my hard work and then i pig out and end up feeling misserable...that goes on for about a week or so untill i slap my arse back into line and get motivated again...trying so hard to break old habits....so....
I got a workout DVD...so not like me, but i got the 30 day shred by jillian michaels...i just did my first one....killed me...20 minutes but i did it...going to do that as much as i can, not sure if i should do it every day..i feel so proud of myself for doing it. And hopefully i will see some better results than i have been with just changing my diet....like leese said, you can be skinny and unfit, so heres to getting fit !!
Goodluck all, il do my best to catch up with the old posts....im still reading the other thread!!
My goals basically remain the same everyday so i think im going to do weekly goals now
maintain daily goals (2L water, healthy snacking, low salt, keep active)
Do DVD minimum 4 times a week (being realistic)
One good walk a week (Im limitied as to what i can do living where i do i can probably do one)
If i have a weak/indulgent moment dont let it snowball.....one chocolate biscuit doesnt mean you may aswell eat half the packet...have one..enjoy it...and GET OVER IT!!!
keep a food diary...just to hold myself accountable...not to count every calorie that goes in...just to keep my eye on it! Starting tomorrow
Leesa you just killed me!!! Hahah! I totally thought you hadn't lost it, and was confused with your FB status!! Well done!!! You're in your 50's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOoooooooHoooooooo!!!!
sorry i forgot to sign my comment on you blog - that was me (the one below tellytubby)
i have to say well done! you're amazing! size 8 jeans... well i'd be lying if i didn't say i hate you just a tiny bit right now lol!
one question i thought i would save for the thread (rather than the blog... felt to exposed there): do you think it's possible to get back into my size 11s? after a natural vaginal birth that basically ripped me in two... literally... bub was so fast and he had a large head and then didn't turn with his shoulders so they both came at once and (truly) i had bought new pjs that were loose and comfy 3 days before he popped out and after they were straining to get around my hips and bum... am sure i didn't put on *that* much weight within a week... or do you think i'll have to satisfy myself with a 14 or 12 if i'm *really* lucky (and thin lol... please GOD let it happen!)?
thanks babe. x
oh and beckoes hun - great goals! (sorry meant to say but got sidetracked with hips wonderment)

: beckoes... :)
I am so knackered tonight, I am about to fall into bed - but I just had to pop in here and say YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH LEESA!!!!!!!!!!! That's awesome. .
I'm so happy for you - we can party in the 50's club together!!
Really hope to be back tomorrow for a proper post & catch-up... but in the interim, go ladies, go! Oh and I did 60 mins in the bike instead of 45. Yah!
It’s a really good step to break the objective downward into 4kg plenty. After having my DS I lost 5kgs - not still setting a genuine aim in the start. My purpose was to 'look good. I didn't even have a digit of kilo's I required to lose.
Ok weigh-in this morning, another 0.4kg loss (I'm like the turtle lol, just pegging away). Puts me on 9.5kg lost. Next goal... the big 10kg!!!
And another 1cm off my waist yay.
Tinsel - I'd love to be 10cm taller too. I remember when I was a kid I used to lie in bed & dream that I'd miraculously get some strange disease that would make me grow . Great stuff with your plans on what to do!
Holy Dooley this thread is alive!! Busiest its been since I've joined (and lets just say I've been around here a lot longer than I like to admit! Ha!)
I'll try and do personals, but if I miss you, im sorry!! x
Belfie - You and Leesa are bloody awesome! Do you have just a regular exercise bike? And where do you keep it? My Mum has one, but Ive got a feeling it won't be missed if i borrow it for a while! I've got the perfect little nook in my lounge room for one too. Hmmm Do you watch TV while on it?? That's what I'd more than likely to, designate myself a tv show everynight that I wanted to peddal to. Well done on another 400 grams! Skinny minni! x Hope those 12E bras start fitting more perfectly soon too. I sympathise with your cup size. Big boobs are a pain in the butt! I'm a 14F.
Sammie - Good on you for having some fruit last night as opposed to some chocolate! Its small changes like these that see big results! I often think of that ad on the telly, about becoming a "swapper". When DH is having a little packet of chips, I "swap" mine for a serve of rice crackers. Still yummy, crunchy, salty - but far better for me! Keep "swapping" and you'll feel better for it too. And an awesome start on the DVD. Leesa has talked before that she does her workouts via DVD, once all her kidlets are asleep (hence the reason she is looking so fabulous!), so they clearly work well!
Tinsel - I love the weekends for exercise too. So much easier when Daddy is home from work, hey!? Hope you have a lower number on the scales come weigh in day
Miss K - Yes I'm curious how the nutritionist went too???
Livvy - So excited for you to hear that those Pilates lessons are sculpting your legs into hotness! Totally agree with Leesa too, lol, that headcold doesn't mean you have to eat those naughty foods! Soup is awesome, and will hopefully make you feel a bit better. Get well soon babe x
Leesa - I find that so unusual that people could do an "attack" class just for fun! LOL! I am clearly more unfit then I realise! But I do find it facinating... I love watching people jog too. Do you ever go jogging?! One day that will be me jogging! Well done on the extra 100g loss. You'll be at around 58 before you know it, never to return to your 60's again. Unless of course a surprise bundle number 4 comes alone??
Starbright - I'm not too sure on your question about the exercise. I see it as, some is better than none, right?? Keep up the hard work, and if time permits you to do it in one go - hell yes! I've heard good things about CK for tracking?? I'm on the ww points plan, cheap (as I have everything I need, so am not an actual "member" of ww), and its working. At the end of the day I'm finding its my portions that are all out. You can eat healthy - but if you eat too much healthy, you're not going to see much result. It sucks I know. It's all about moderation - even eating the good foods in moderation
Mildez - Well done on the 800gram loss! And HELL YES you can get below 80 by the end of July! Keep up that hard work! Loading firewood would be hard work - I can totally appreciate how much that would have hurt, lol!
PumpkinZulu - Welcome to our busy group!
AFM - Nothing really to report. Boring I know. I took all my measurements for the fatchicslim challenge, so am looking forward to comparing them in 6ish weeks time! Official weigh in on Monday. Really hoping I'll get back into my 80's then, but we'll see. If I do it means I would have had to lose atleast 1.5kg for the week. Am I the biggest gal in here??? Everytime I read someones weight I think, "can't wait to get there!!!" LOL! my first goal is 83, which is what I was when I got home from my honeymoon in November last year. Atleast once I'm there I'll be able to fit into my normal clothes again! Then once I'm there, 73 will be my next goal. Breaking it into smaller chunks so I dont get lost in the numbers. Can't wait, and so excited to be in this frame of mind!
Keep up the hard work ladies! Hope to see "less" of you here! (I mean weight wise, lol)
