Diet & Weight loss support #4

just letting you guys know that i've been so good with my healthy eating that in the last 8 weeks i've lost 2.5 kg !!! and i'm feeling better already.

keep up the good work

lollies, doesn't sound good for weight loss, ha ha, but if it works hey why not do it.

i have come to a stand still and after loosing 2.5 kg gained about 300g in last 2 weeks. try to get back on track after AF has finished.

good luck to all

Hi girls... I had a quick read of this thread yesterday but it didn't seem very active? Do you all touch base regularly? I did have a look on ebay at those lollipops :p It reminds me of this diet book I picked up on sale a few years ago, it's called the Shangri-la diet where they recommend you drink sugar water or oil (or both) throughout the day to basically suppress your appetite... I found that the sugar water made my teeth sore and the oil made me shaky, dizzy, weak and feel like vomiting?

I just had a D&C on Friday and am now still TTC #1, before I fell pg I needed to loose 5kg and while I was pg i put on about 3 -3.5kg so I am going for an even 10kg weight loss (but I only started my ticker after I lost .5) Anyway in the past I lost about 7k one time and 9kg another time by counting calories (1200) per day which is totally easy once you learn how much everything is, and anyone who has done this would have found that you tend to eat the same food all the time anyway... You know the same items on your shopping list, cook the same meals at home etc... And it's not like you can't make new stuff, you just count it as you go and the important thing to remember is that it's not forever... Anyway I find it really easy to do but can see how some people can't be bothered. So that's what I am doing again and I would love to start exercising straight away but my stomach is sore from the op on Friday... But I can't wait to get back into it and see some results on the scales!

Good luck to you all, it seems you don't need it though as you are already getting results :dance: I'm looking forward to you all holding me accountable for my declaration of weight loss and to sharing the journey with you all :thumbsup:

cherished: give yourself some time to recover before doing any radical weight loss, i know how much harder it can be.
we're a bit slack in this thread but all got some goals.
i took this great salad and chicken to work today and felt great, i have a weigh in tomorrow. hope it's an arrow down.

good luck

well i have lost some more weight or should i say cm's.
i sort of started on 11 nov last year but have been more serious since xmas time.
anyway i have lost 200g ( yes that is two hundred grams) ! big deal !!!

but the funny thing is that they did my measurements today and i have lost 18 cm's all up. they do bust,
underbust
waist
abdomen
hips
thighs
and arms.
i am so proud of myself. i am achieving my goals slowly.

i have been doing a low gi thing sort of with salads and more walking

keep up the good work guys.

Well done JBM :clap:

AFM I have been doing ok?... Had the D&C Friday so have been sitting on my butt ever since. I have had a couple of days where guests have bought over sticky treats for morning tea and just like the biggest looser I gave into temptation! :lol: OH well!... I think I may have lost weight anyway but it is kinda hard to tell because I am bleeding now like a period (sorry for TMI)! and I am really bloated... I think I will absolutely see a change next Friday though so I am happy either way. Ideally I would like to loose 1 kg a week but as long as it is .5 I will be happy.

Hope you're all doing well :p

cherished, no one would really say no to free treats. your friends are trying to make you feel better. look after yourself, give some time for recovery. x

Hi girls, I am happy to see a loss this week even if it's only 100g :) Here's hoping for an even better week next week!

Hope you're all doing great!

cherished:
you need to read my previous info. it's not always the weight you loose. good job though. i had a pretty good day today.

Hi there JBM, I have read your previous posts. I have not lost anything off measurements either, I know that when I start to build muscle and loose fat the scales will not necessarily go down but my measurements will. In the past I have been 54kg & 57kg and a size 10 and I have also been 63kg and a size 10... I'm really looking forward to getting moving tomorrow (walking slowly) and than in another week starting to work out properly :) Thanks for all your support JBM, you said 'they' took measurements, who are 'they'?

cherished :i go to a gym where they do measurements once a month and a weigh in each week, it helps me to be accountable to someone other than self.
abraham: not sure what yo asking, is it that you want to be fat ? or don't want to be ? sorry for confusion.

i've made a healthy chicken and veggie soup for tonight. should be good

Hi Girls, I've come to join this forum... my name is Mother Goose and I'm FAT! :lol: I weight about 115.3Kg :redface: I am embarking on a lifestyle change with the aim of losing a LOT of weight and getting fit again. I am starting PT sessions today (eek!). I also have a blog (see below) which I am posting to daily to help keep track of my intake vs expenditure and also to keep me accountable. I'll let you know how I go at the PT session!

Well done mother goose :leap: I look forward to sharing the journey with you... I have 10kg to loose and I want it gone NOW... Doesn't seem much compared to your challenge but it is still just as hard no matter how much weight there is to loose...

I am feeling great about having done a workout yesterday and going for a walk on sat... I'm also going to go to a class once a week at a gym but mainly at home workouts at my home gym :)

YAY so excited you are making a life change GOOD LUCK :dance:

Hi JBM hope you're doing well too !!

Thanks Cherish! My session was great! I was very teary when I got there. But my trainer was fantastic. Made me feel at ease. Got me on the equipment. Got me working. Made me feel energised and that I can do it! I am looking forward to my next session. I even had a good time! WOOHOO!

Thats wonderful mother goosse :happyforyou: I think I will have a loss when I get on the scales on Friday and am going to be doing a workout tonight :p

well i have not been good. i do not know why but chocolate has been creeping in and icecream, why do i sabotage myself. i gained 300g this week and i feel a bit crappy about it. will get back on track soon.
