Ok i have fallen off the wagon big time this week i have swine flu and ive been comfort eating.. i feel so bad and think i may have put weight on to scared to check ! im being a bit better today. how is everyone else going?

[Mother Goose]

sweetheart. We all have bad days (and weeks). Just hail the wagon down and jump back on. You can not be perfect 100% of the time. And if you're anything like me when I had swine flu - you will lose weight anyway

Hang in there gorgeous!

I'm on holidays this week, and have been working in the garden - cementing edges all week - including mixing the cement myself in a wheelbarrow. I have lots of sore bits - so should hopefully lose some weight from all that exercise - not been eating a whole lot of naughty stuff either. The scales aren't telling me anything positive - but I am hoping that means I am building muscle which weighs more!

Ok I've fallen off the wagon too. My two sisters came down to visit for my birthday and we pretty much have been non stop eating for the last two days! Today started with a chocolate tour of Melbourne but I am back on the wagon as of tomorrow I promise!

how horrible is it theres just some days that you just do one little thing wrong like that bit of chocolate and then it just gets worse after that...ive gota get rid of the temptations in my house..

But you know what tomorow is a new day ! we can do it seriously! i believe in all of you, try to start the day positively have a nice wholesome, healthyy breakie followed by som form of physical excercise i took a 2 hour walk on the beach was beautiful totally lifted my mood and motivation, sometimes its simple things like this that keep us going!

Mother goose thanks hun i really needed to hear that you have no idea

Claire- dont beat youself up about the chocolate hun, ( i had chocolate too shhh lol) just work abit harder wen you excercise next time say to yourself if i have that chocolate thats another 10/20min walk/run or waterver you do for excercise thats wat i do i think it helps me abit

Mr Squidipa- sometimes falling of the wagon makes us stronger for when we get back on the wagon, we wont fall of so easy again..i believe in you that you can do this!

ausgirl- thats great hun, dont worry abou the stupid scales, how do you feel thats wat matters the most you'll most likely finf it is muscle your gaining and thats great good on you


Matryoshka and Ella how are you both doin? xx

Well.... I have fallen off the wagon today with some chippies for lunch, but......

Last week I weighed in at 100.9kg. Yesterday I weighed myself and I was 98.8kg!!!! Yay for me, I know i'ts not much, but every gramme is one gramme closer to my goal.

Mr Squidipa-Don't worry about falling off the wagon. Just climb back on, we are all on the wagon holding out our hands to help you up!!!!!

Emma-I took your advice and made myself a food diary. I got a girl from mothers group involved and we have been doing excercise together and staying accountable to each other with the diary.

I also got up at 6am the other morning and went for a fast walk with DS in the pram. It was great and although I felt sore the next day it gave me much more energy for the rest of the day!

Hope everyone else is well!!! How are you all doing?

[Butterfly Child]

Ella- Oh hun thats soo amazing thats a great loss. Good on you hun you should be verry proud of that!! its alot easier when we have someone to help us stay motivated with ive got one of my friends who i go for a long beach walk with every saturday and sometimes you forget your there for excercise as it gives you a chance to talk and catch up thats great you have a friend from mothers group to excercise with i wish we all lived closer we could all start a bootcamp lol

ive also been slack on doing my food diary thanks for reminding me to work on it
