Hmm I should probably bring my fat arse back in here with a plan this time, huh? Okay, I will be attempting to eat breakfast every morning :sick: Going for brisk walks/jogs (when I build up to it) in the evenings, and using the damn exercise machine thingo more often. Already drink heaps of water and eat relitively well...will have to cut out more sugar though, sugar is my killer.
I hear you :(:
Ok here goes (deeeeep breath)
I am 125kg, aiming for 75 but would dearly love to get back to pre-kids weight of 60kg (size 10)
....and I can't believe I just admitted that , I don't even tell my family or DH what I weigh :(
but I think I have to start owning it IYKWIM? and seriously, there's no denying I'm overweight :rolleyes:
I am pretty sure I will go back on TF after I finish feeding Pie. I lost 10 kg but had to stop when I fell PG... it will be a good kick start although i don't know if I can keep it up long enough to lose all my weight.
In the meantime I need to drink more water, and walk every day even if it's just 15 minutes to start. That would be the goal for the first week.
I am hoping that posting in here will keep me accountable...
If anybody wants a buddy to PM every day or so I'm in (will keep me from clogging up the thread)
Fleur i cried when i actually wrote my weight on here, mind you i wouldnt even let dp look at scales either, so embarassed. And i am doing TF also. I could be your PM buddy :):
Sweet! Buddied up :)
Will PM you later
Bit of a thought....
The biggest loser have a new 'families' series coming up..... how about the BB family??
know what shiata me to tears...
there's
a life line
a quit line
to ring when things go pear shaped but there isnothing for people who are trying to lose weight and need someone to talk to when then feel like reaching out :(
Sushi hon you are absolutely right. Im planning on doing more exercise once my bottom end is fixed :(
That's such a sweet idea!:
I wanna be in, too!!
OK, so I'm 94kg :redface: and would like to be just under 70... Looooong way away!! If I want to be at my perfect BMI I should only weigh 62kg :o but that seems kinda unrealistic to me atm. I don't remember EVER being at that weight (apart from maybe when I was 14...) And TBH, I was just recently still at 108kg, so 70 sounds pretty good to me right now (don't want to be too greedy :lol:)
I still have a long way ahead of me, and although being fat should be motivation enough, sometimes I just need a kick in the butt! That's were this thread hopefully comes in!!
Good luck everyone!!! :bluecheer: :cheer:
(Oh and hello Nettie :hello: nice to see you!!)
:hello: back! Do I know you under another name? :redface::
Oscar - I'll be PM-ing you honey! :lol: I'm a tough nut as I'm not your average bear... I believe in whole foods and refuse to have low-fat or artificial sweeteners. Just need to learn to have smaller portions and eat what I feel like and not try to substitute things (never works and I just end up eating more!)

We are very similar hun and I can so relate. My highest was 104Kg when DD was 6mths old. I am now down to 88Kg and aiming for around 70Kg as well. I think 68Kg is a BMI of 25 for me so would love to be that as that is the higher of the healthy range and when I was this weight, I was a size 10 with muscles and curves and still had boobs (I think my body will always have boobs though LOL).
We can all do it! :cheer:
Sushee- You are so right about it being a combination of what is put in our bodies and what is taken out (through exercise). Exercise helps your body get a gorgeous shape to it and still look curvy without being flabby or underweight.
I cant remember who said about getting thyroid check but that is good advice. When I was at my biggest, I went to the doctors as I seriously thought there must be something wrong with me so I got a full blood set done and thyroid check and it all came back fine. I was relieved to know I didnt have thyroid problems but also it was good to know that I couldnt jsut use it as one of my excuses for being the weight I was. It was all down to me.
Weightwatchers gave me a great kickstart to my weightloss and I found it great as it isnt a diet. I have also been working on losing weight through the 12wk BB challenge that Krysallis started. Maybe we can do another one after this finishes. I think if we have a few of these going through the next year, it will help keep us on track. I like RR's idea about the Biggest Loser BB comp.
Also I highly recommend checking out Lucy's blog (member on BB) she has lost an incredible amount of weight all through hard work and change of lifestyle. I'll try and find the link for it.
Although I've still a way to go in this pregnancy, I have some fat directly under my ribs that I need to shift. I'm 76kg at last weigh-in (before the GC) and I just returned my scales to get serviced!!!
Last pregnancy I didn't put on weight, I was 78kg at delivery and 69kg when I went home, would like to be similar again, and then get down to 64kg. Pref 60kg. Dream-like 55kg ;)
I really don't want to be puffing my way up a single flight of steps like I currently am :(
I don't know how much i weigh. I chose to not own scales. Instead i weigh myself every time i am at the doctors. This works for me as i find scales to interfere with my perception of my weight and therefore my moods. Like most women I retain water at certain times of the month and this shouldn't be considered as weight gain. On the opposite end of the sprectrum: dehydration shouldn't be seen as weight loss... very easy to do! I find the best method of assessing weight is to go by how your clothes fit. I have to keep at 3 sizes of jeans that range between 10 and 14 because of my thyroid related weight fluctuations. At the moment my size 12's are snug bit are still comfy... my 14s are still loose but are not falling off me like they would have 2 years ago. I think that size 12 is about right for my skeleton (I am a bit over 5 foot 7 with big bones... size 9 shoe).... I could just do with a bit of toning. I possibly got down into the high 50s when i was very sick (hyperthyroid) and would estimate that i am in the high 60s now. I suspect 65kg would be my ideal weight.
ETA: started a thread about scales HERE
Netti: Hihi! That's ok! We talked in the 'Fitness chat and tips #3' thread...
But maybe I just fee like I know you so well because I've been stalking you too much!! :rofl:
*not in a creepy way, though!* ;)
You're my inofficial 'Plantar faciitis Buddy' (Sorry, havn't told you yet :rofl:) You recommended the awsome Orthotics!! Thanks by the way! They are working a treat!!
:clap: Great job!! I'm sure you'll get to your goal weight soon! Do you have any weightloss secrets/tips? How did you stay motivated? I'm hitting a wall at the moment...Also, what kind of exercise do you do?:
:
:rofl: Me too!!! I've got huuuuge boobies :o Whether my body is big or small, they (the bb's) ALWAYS stay big! (not that dp is complaining... :lol:)
Does anyone know where to get sportsbras for big boobies from? Because I can't find any...
Aaahhhhh! (light bulb moment!) Sowwy :redface: I DO remember you now! LOL:
I'm so glad the orthotics are working - they will help you get back on track with walking & exercise (my lamea$$ way of trying to get this reply back OT) :lol:
In regards to exercise, i'll be doing the couch to 5kms thing. I'll also start walking DD to school. I'd do that now but my SPD won't let me.
im hoping i get into tafe and then will be catching public transport and walking a couple of kms a day...isnt much but more than what i do now (front door to car, or round the shops) lol...
Well I got off to a cracking start today, NOT....
I started ok this morning but failed miserably when I had to go to the supermarket and hadn't eaten & was hungry.
Will not do that again if I can help it :p
