    Go Ammaki netball queen! Poop that you lost though.

    cherished, fingers crossed for you on Friday. I hope it goes well. I lost 3 kg after mine! So here's hoping

    Friend flew in from interstate last night, managed not to crack out the red wine and tim tams. In 2004 she and I were the same weight; she was actually a bit smaller than me, and now she's still the same size, although trying really hard to lose it. I want madly to help her but can't work out what she's not doing right. She doesn't like to weigh herself too much - she always discouraged me from doing the same, but here I am, 20kg lighter, so I think we know whose method works!

    I've recognised that I have been emotional eating between blood tests and getting the results. I am just so fricken antsy about the results, so need some good strategies to avoid damage. Can anybody help?
    - Go op shopping on the way home from the hospy
    - Have a coffee with DH on the morning results are due (coffee is a real treat for me, esp if it's with him)
    - Plan a good hard workout of some sort in between. If I feel clean and healthy, it tends to help me out
    - Was thinking maybe watching movies, but too easy to blindly snack while doing it.

    This morning I managed to limit the damage to a cup of instant coffee (with milk ) and two gingernut biscuits.

    I played a position i dont usually play with a wholeeee lot more running; woohoo!

    Foodwise had a shocking breakky but evened it out with a salad and a bit of pasta for lunch ... hopefully! DP's birthday today so no doubt i will have a piece of cake tonight will try not to eat too much bad stuff at dinner. I think my dad is doing reef & beef so probably stick to seafood? I know you're all vego's sorry lol.

    I think you've got most strategies covered there Snuggly! I have no more suggestions

    Hi guys. Sorry I have been quiet. I was in Bris last week for a workshop.
    This week has been just average. I didn't really count my calories or anything last week and didn't exercise much while I was away. Am hoping for any loss this week (even just 0.1kg!). Am cycling to work today and have soccer tomorrow so hopefully will be even a touch down.

    I watched a home video from about 6 months ago and couldn't believe my size. I really was very overweight. It helped reinforce how much weight I have lost but also that I really want to lose more.

    Snuggly - what are some treats that you don't over indulge with? Coffee is a good one for me as it suppresses my appetite a bit and peppermints/boiled lollies are also good because I just won't eat that many of them. I hear you on the emotional eating. That is a big one for me. I feel down so I eat then I feel down because I over ate, so I eat......
    What about getting a good massage! I am planning one for when I get down to 70kg as a reward.
    Otherwise - going out dancing is a good one - you not only get reinforced for looking great in your killer bod but also get some great exercise! Otherwise go new music shopping - nothing like a great new cd to pick you up.

    Cherished - I hope everything went ok on Friday. Big hugs.

    Amy - Sounds like you are going well! Yay for netball.

    Awwwwwww THANKS LOVELY LADIES FOR SENDING ME LOVE ON FRIDAY

    I am doing good today... been working in the yard etc etc and finally the bleeding is just a light brown discharge sorry TMI!

    Snugglybean I would avoid movies, they are big snack attack traps! no matter how prepared you are you always want the comfort food during a movie, especially a chick flick or teary girly movie! (but hey that might just be me) Shopping is a good idea and I would suggest organising a workout with someone... Having my friend coming over on Wed for example means that I will have to workout! hehehe, no slacking off iykwim, plus we are going to go to a yoga class or something once in a while at a gym so that will keep me committed too. A very succesful man once told me that the key to achieving 'anything' is to have someone holding you accountable ie if you want to work out make sure someone is keeping tabs on you and the best way to do that is to have them show up and basically demand that you work out hmmmmm ok that turned out sounding like a pep talk to myself sorry! Oh one more thing I often do to occupy myself is paint my nails, and really sparkle up my toe nails with funky colours, sparkles and stick on dimonties etc it's fun and you can't use your hands to eat because your nails are wet!

    Ammaki you crack me up honey, how did the party go?

    krysalyss I loooove your massage idea, they are my absolute fav! Friday went well apart from the tears that followed after I woke up.... but I'm all good now.

    Mother Goose & Turkish Delight how are you going? Haven't seen either of you for a while, hope you are good xox

    AFM, I am yet again not looking forward to getting on the scales tomorrow today I was back to 71.2 so a gain of 600grams! I am supposed to LOOSE 600 + grams!!!!! Dam it I went back through my diary and there are 3 days where I was over 1400 so no wonder! What was I thinking!!!!!!! (((smack bum inserted here))) So disappointed I feel like I've wasted not one week but 2 because I am back where I was 2 weeks ago...... Will let you know what the damage is tomorrow...
