hey all!
thank you for the congratulations! went and bought my new jeans today - Calvin Klein Bootcut "Original" in a dark denim with brown stitching. AND i got the 13s! tried them on and they were just as flattering over my saddle-bags (the girl in the shop commented how we women have such terrible names for parts of our bodies... but she was a twiglet!) and not too loose at the waist! yay me!
leesa - good luck with the cakes baking vs eating lol, be strong!
tanstar - happy birthday hun! also i hope you enjoyed your walk! today i walked from home to uni (about an hour, up a massive hill lol), and then into town but caught a bus home otherwise would have been late as shopping took longer than expected...
beckoes - woohoo! well done on the loss! go you babe! hope your DH feels better soon
mildez - hope you feel better soon too, that sounds really not cool. maybe try ginger beer or a tsp of baking soda in water - both are natural anti-nausea remedies.
3LM - hope you managed to get through the supermarket without visiting the naughty aisles... i know i struggled the first time after i started this journey.
ausgirl - well done hun! 7kg is HUGE! you're doing so well! keep it up! :D
hi hi hi to everyone else! have a fab day! :D

Hi Guys,
wow this is moving fast!
I am reading, but not posting as i am generally on my phone...
Use MFP today - all i can say is WOW to the bar code scanner!!!
Missed 2 days of 30 day shred this week as first time, i was woken ery 45 mins to 2 hours by Aurora and i was buggered and yesterday i took Aurora and MJ swimming and had a walk and my knees were sore, so skipped a day!
Evening snacks have been creeping back (hence the MFP) and i need to get on top of that.
Yay to all the will power going on in here!!! We rock :)
-
I have seen the scanner thingy but not tried it SJ - do I need to?!! :rofl:
ETA: OH MY GIDDY AUNT - HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT!
-
Omg YES Tan!!!!
Get your tin, scan it, everything is entered... Go on try it try it EVERYONE
ETA... How sad are we :rofl:

:rofl: SJ I haven't stopped scanning since you posted haha! It's GREAT ...........
Yes we COULD read the box and serving size/cals etc. however this is way easier and more fun ;) PLUS we don't have to enter anything in!
-
-
LoL.. i am even sadder- i have logged into MFP (turns out i had an account there from last time i was trying to lose weight) and i cant find this cool scanner!!!!! HELP!!!!
-
I just went looking - it's My Fitness Pal... and the bar code scanner works on iphone i take it? That is VERY cool!
just did my EA active workout. And planning a big cycle for tonight. Weigh-in tomorrow... :crossfingers:
-
Oh ok.. no iphone here :( Boo!!!
-
if you have something that has android, I'm pretty sure it works with that too - does that help?
-
MFP = My Fitness Pal - same as Calorie King but I find it easier to use!
The scanner is on the app that I have, when you go to add a food, next to where you would normally type "healthy delicious something or other with minimal calories" there is a little scanner button you press and a camera comes up and you hover it over and it detects it! Way cool but I do have an iphone - if you have an android and can find the MFP app it should work???
-
For days I've been telling myself I would do a big, proper post here - and every day time gets away from me!
Bar code scanner? Ooh, I might have to have a look for that! :D
Leesa: I checked out your weight loss photos on FB - such an inspiration! You look absolutely fabulous :).
Beckoes: Sounds like everything is going really well with you! I'm the same as you - have allowed myself little things here and there, but I'm not kicking myself over it. Just get on with it - enjoyed a small dark chocolate heart yesterday. It's better than the entire blocks of chocolate I was consuming! Hope you get your scales soon - I love having electric ones, makes it so much easier to read.
Tanstar: I know right! I can't keep up with this thread either and I am at home! Doing housework all day long surely has to count! I hope so!
Mildez: Oh yuck, that doesn't sound nice. Hope you're feeling better soon!
3LM: :hug: Sounds like a very tough night! Hope you have a better one tonight! Sleep deprivation is awful (DS was a terrible sleeper until about 20 months) - you're doing such a great job even contemplating weight loss running on so little sleep! Hope your day has improved.
Livvy: Awesome about the jeans!!! I can't wait till jeans look good on me again!
SJ: I always find it hardest not to snack at night time after the kids are in bed. That was always my and DH's chill out time in front of the TV. I am trying my best to replace that with a bike ride in front of the TV!
Belfie: Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow!
Hi to everyone else! I know I've missed heaps of people - I only looked back at posts from today.
Congrats to all those girls who have had losses :clap:. Well done! I am having my first weigh in tomorrow morning - I have no idea how I'll go - I'm just hoping to see some kind of result. I've been doing really well actually, which I'm kind of surprised about. I have been on the bike 4 times over the past week (planning on another ride tonight). Am trying to add a little to my time each time. I did 16 minutes last night. Eating well has been surprisingly easy, and I think the arrival of my thermomix is a big part of it. It's so easy to prepare everything that I haven't been tempted with takeaway. I even made myself a broccoli salad for lunch the other day! I have eaten a few little naughty things, but nothing like what I was. So, with being this good I'm really hoping the scales/tape measure reflect it! I'm also hanging out for my new pram to arrive so I can go out walking!
I'll be back tomorrow with (hopefully) good losses!
-
Will be back later for persies just wanted to say woohoo. I brought a york challenger 850 exercise bike at the local 2nd hand shop for $77 woohoo. It seems good (although hard) I did 2mins on it and burnt 25cals hehe. Its small so atleast it fits nicely in the family room and hopefully will encourage me to use it regularly. FX bub is quiet around then. My aim is to try do it with home and away. Its got the inbuilt pulse thing in it, tells you how many cals etc and a whole pile of other stuff I don't know what its about.
Sterla hope you have a nice loss tomorrow. Yeah on the thermomix. Going to have to look into what one is lol. Ive heard people raving on about them but I don't know exactly what they do.
-
Note to self. Don't buy peppermint chocolate. It appears to be my kryptonitr.
Cycling cycling. I did the crime now I gotta do the time. 38 mins to go.
Gawd my Friday nights are exciting lol.
-
Belfie ouch. How do you manage to do 38+ mins on the bike? I only got mine today but 15mins was tough tough on me. No chance of doing the 30mins I planned. It was mostly on the easy setting too. Could hardly walk when I got off and I had pins and needles in my crutch lol
-
I HAVE NO SELF CONTROL. Tired and lazy and it's my b'day tomorrow so I didn't want to cook out of principle - so what did I have? Red Rooster FFS. So cross with myself. Went for a 40 mins walk today - did 3 lots of Leesa's lunges and just did 30 mins of Zumba but still so cross. Tomorrow will be another toughie - out for dinner and drinks for my bday - argghhhhh. Off to sulk at myself.

Aww girls, hugs. Forgive yourselves your slip ups. Seriously life isn't worth worrying about the little slip ups we have. You can get back to it, just don't stop trying. That is what keeps me trying. I fall off the wagon, I get back on. Even if it's been 2 days, 4 weeks, 3mths, whatever. I will keep trying until it sticks permanently. Until I have formed new, healthy habbits. And having some chocolate or cake occaisionally, even every day for a week, will be ok. Just get back to it when your head is back in the right place agian. Figure out what is wrong, why you slipped, and fix it if you can. Tan you said you're tired. Being tired makes me want junk food too. I am beyond tired today, but because I am aware of it and planned for it and was on the ball with it today, I have survived. I have been doing really well comsidering. Now I REALLY want to just EAT. Plus AF is here and it's totally not helping me feel any better. But I won't eat. I'm going to have a hot cup of tea, a hot bath and read my mag I have had for over a week and not taken the time for myself to look at. I will challenge those thoughts of GIMMECHOCOLATENOW! And get to tomorrow when it will likely all happen again, until there will be one day I don't think GIMMECHOCOLATENOW. I hope that day comes soon though...:p
-
Can I get a... HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cos I just frickin' BLASTED it. And I am so pumped. I did 68 mins on the bike, 33.4km... FIVE HUNDRED CALORIES! Plus I'd already done 100cal of EA active earlier today. Biggest day ever.
Sorry Mildez, I know that will do your head in. But remember hun, this is me who 4 months ago could only aim for 10-15 mins walking or 5 mins on the bike a DAY! And now look at me - if you'd told me I'd be here, I would not have believed you. It is amazing how quickly your fitness improves. Build it up slow & steady, you'll get there.
It's funny, i did a longish cycle the other night, and was SO bleh. Tired. No legs. It was just a slog. But tonight I felt SO good. And now I'm so pumped.
RAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRR!
