    Just signing in!!!! Went for a walk and did some sit ups today....although I remember someone telling me you shouldn't do sit ups after having a baby, especially after a c-section - it's been 6 months almost, surely that's ok now?

    Didn't get to send in yesterday as we moved on the w/end, still unpacking etc so as soon as i can get on the scales will post, the take away while moving wont have helped but hopefully all the lifting etc did

    GL everyone, hope your all well.. will be back to normal and on top of things in a couple of days.

    Congratulations to everyone whose still going!

    Alison: Just do what feels comfortable. I had c/s too, and even now I still get little twinges around my scar if I move the wrong way.

    Have had a very lazy 3 days. Have still been eating okay, and exercising a little, but have mostly been lying on the couch with DS while he's been sick (middle ear infection, poor thing). Feeling very lethargic, but DS is on the mend now so I'll hopefully be back in the swing of things soon.

    Hi there gals,

    I'm subscribing to keep myself honest and to try and avoid diet and exercise self sabotage..something I seem to be good at lately!

    I would like to try doing it slowly and sensibly as I had DS 3 months ago still feeding and I find too much exercise = far less milk by the end of the day!

    Krysalyss - What measurements do I need to take?

    Good luck everyone else!

    I'm still here although have been unable to weigh in too! I promise to be a better weigh in buddy this month I am doing the Global Corporate Challenge with work so I have a pedometer on me all the time and I have to log my steps in every day so I have something to be accountable for - if this doesn't keep me on track, nothing will.

    BB Challenge Week 6 & 7

    Hi all, haven't been very motivated as I haven't lost any weight for a couple of weeks, stuck on the same number. Eating well but not strictly. Haven't been able to do ant exercise the last few days as my pelvis is sore and physio says I need to rest it.

    Hopefully I can get back into some exercise soon.

    Oooh WTG Ali!!!

    Kawazuki, totally agree with getting rid of the bad choices making it easier.....boring, but easier

    Krys, again, hun, really hope it's disappearing fast.

    Alison that's the way!!

    AFM lost 800gm, so not bad, but not great. Very little exercise this weekend as I have a (couch) bottom problem (cough) .....

    Back on the wagon today, after I had a 'day off' yesterday. Had so much bad food!

    But so far so good today. A couple of vita brits for breakfast, half a banana, one malt biscuit, low fat yogurt and a tuna sandwich for lunch, plus I walked to the shops this morning. Gym tonight too. I'm determined to get under 90kg in the next couple of weeks!

    Halfway girls! We can do it! Congratulations for those who had losses, even little ones. Congrats too to those who have managed to maintain their weight.

    It's been raining here. Nothing like several days worth of rain in a place where you hardly get any, to make you feel like staying indoors and eating. I got this urge to bake bread and then had to stop myself from eating the whole loaf!

    I managed to lose 800g this week, better than my 100g last week. I was fairly good with my food, but found it hard to exercise this week. As someone else said, I must be doing a fair bit of incidental exercise. Off to Boot Camp tonight! I'll be in a world of hurt tomorrow, but 'good' hurt IYKWIM

    Kawa - I am hiding my scales from my toddler now! He has already found the Wii Fit board...

    Sterla - Go Sterla! Go Sterla! You'll smash the 90kg mark in the next few weeks!

    Kryss - Hope the vertigo is gone soon. Good thing you have a laptop

    Hey strangers

    Well I've been good on my diet for the last few days (yay, must be a record!) and been going to the gym, so hopefully I can stick to it more than I have been doing.

    Lucky Sterla got to see my crazy hyena laughing tonight that not many people see - too many mental images of my shorts falling off whilst swimming and my big white butt floating to the top - had me in hysterics. My shorts didn't fall off, but it was the fact that they COULD have that got me giggling. *snort*

    Anyhoo - I'm back on the wagon - so lets go!

    One more week left. For those who have been keeping their motivation you are so close to finishing! For those (like me) who fell off the wagon it's time to think about your next plan of attack. Are you going to have an exercise aim like a half marathon, or join a new sport?

    So guys only 1 week left. Although I have fallen off the wagon many times I am still hanging on to the wheel. I am still going to do a final weigh in next week so I know where I am up to and so I finish this challenge and face up to what I have or haven't done. I am also going to start training for a half marathon next year. The challenge will be that I find running kind of boring. But am going to look up some training plans to try and work one out for me. I have also mostly moved out of mum and dads house so now that DH is doing all of the cooking it is a lot healthier and we don't have as many snacks around our place to tempt me.
    Anyway wishing you all a great last week
