    Wow, that is great Krys. I am sooo envious.

    I haven't even measured myself or weighed myself. I haven't hit the gym for 1 week. I have been binging out on chocolate and bread. I don't want to even hop on the scales. I can feel a roll of fat on my midriff.

    My matron of honour dress comes in about 2 weeks time and i have lost motivation

    I need help!!!!!!

    That is so funny Amy. I can just picture myself putting the chocolate down as if it were a pistol and backing away from the bench with my hands in the air.

    You are sooo right. I know i have done well. It has been a hard 18 months. I love the feeling of wearing my size 10 pants but i also love the taste of chocolate and once i start i can't stop eating it.

    I hate jogging, that is my problem. I have been putting it off. Phew. I've confessed it. I HATE JOGGING. But i need to increase my intensity to burn the fat and to get off my plateau. I will load up some new music onto my MP3 player after work and hit the gym for some running. As i run, i keep chanting to myself, only 7 songs to go, 6 songs to go. I do manage it, but just. I don't mind the weights side of it, its the cardio....

    haha that is an amusing visual!! Arg i dream to wear size 10!!

    I went shopping on the weekend spent 3 hours looking and found nothing i liked!! Nothing that fit anyway! Why is it all the larger sized clothes are like full on mumus or grandma floral print. So frustrating!!

    Gym tonight, i dont mind the walking/running as long as i have something to distract myself like music or tv haha.

    Did a bit on the wii this morning will do 10 mins warm up on treadmill (gym) at 3.5km then 20 mins at 5km jogging at 7 or 8km for like 30 seconds every now and then then back down. I tend to get pains in my shins if i run too long o nthe treadmill, a friend at work said something about shin splinters or something which is wierd coz i dont get them playing netball and thats like 30 minutes of running! Then 10 minutes on the cross trainer (elliptical?) then i sort of wander around the weights and use the ab cruncher one and a few others. But i think mainly i need to work on the cardio side of things to get the weight loss pumping? Am i right or wrong? Any gym junkies out there that can gimme advice?

    I tend to get some recipies off calorie king and i found one for Double Chocolate Fudgies maybe they are a better option for your chocolate obsession hehe or maybe look for recipies (low fat etc) that are chocolatey to feed your cravings. Just an idea =D

    Well I enjoyed reading your story Turkish. My biggest cranky, which DH can't understand is that I do not have a skinny memory. I was mostly chubby as a kid, through high school, and when I hit puberty I balooned up to 85kg size 16 by 15. I lost over 20kg's between 15 & 17 so the lightest I have EVER been (since pre-puberty) is 63kg's. Sz 10-12.

    Put on 10kg after married, but lost that again and back down to 63kg before pregnant with DD, and I REALLY tried to be good but just kept piling on weight while pregnant and the damn OB made me feel terrible about it because she weighed me everytime I came in and gave me a lecture on how I should only gain 8-12kg all up, I gained 19, and I had a tiny baby, which I feel guilty about wondering if my trying to not eat too much had something to do with, because I did everything else by the book.

    So I am trying to get back down to 63 and out of my Sz 14's. Would love so much to surpass that and actually be skinny for once and see how I look, but I need to eat about 1000-1500 Cal + Exercise just to MAINTAIN 63kg so don't know if it will ever happen. Ce La Vis. Just want to have lost the weight before fall pregnant again.
