I forgot to keep my measurements last week after sending them in :wall: so don't know how many cms I've lost yet but I do know I've lost some - bought some nice black pants before seeing the challenge (size 20) and now the only thing that holds them up is my chunky hip area - had to go buy size 18 and they fit just right (for now anyway :lol:) only lost the .7kg but am at my pre-preg weight :dance:
I did know that but thought it meant something slightly different. Changed mine now. :):
you know your ment to take the link from your signature off on BB dont you?
double post
Because of the holidays I will wait until Wed to put up results so that all the people who can't weigh in till Tuesday have time to get it to me.
Also just a reminder that if you have measured and weighed, don't forget to pm them to me even if you have posted them in the thread.
Thanks!
Well - back from the gym, and I am stuffed!!! We did a step/pump class, and it was so hard! I have almost no upper body strength, so lifting 5 kg repeatedly for an hour was tough! I do feel nice and energized now, but I just know tomorrow I am going to be really stiff and sore!
But harder than the class was leaving DS in the child care there :( Never done it before. He actually was fine for the most part the woman there said, it was just in the last 10 mins he got upset. We had a big, long cuddle though, and he was fine after a few minutes.
Well, I'm pretty chuffed with myself...DH had a big day/night yesterday at the ANZAC day celebrations and he's been eating crap all morning. We went to Macca's for breaky, but I didn't have anything because I had eaten breaky (porridge and a coffee) before he got out of bed, though I could have eaten something, I just sat and watched as the kids ate their hash browns and DH scoffed his hangover cure, lol. But I didn't even want anything. I just kept thinking of how bad for me it was, that I wasn't even hungry. Then we went to the shops and he had a choccy milkshake and the kids had a little chocolate too. And I still held out!! Yay! And we walked to the whops too. Not a huge walk, but I was carrying my 13kg daughter!
The test for me will be this arvo/tonight when we go to a friends for a bbq. I'm making choc caramel brownies and got some sara lee ice cream to go with it. But just a small serve should be ok! And a propper walk if I can get one in.
Sterla, I love that rush you get after going to the gym! It feels so good. Adn tomorrow just think that stiff soreness is building muscles and fitness!! Good job!! :D
Hi Girls - I'm so excited today, I just weighed in and was expecting bad results only because AF arrived last night (grrr for timing) and I'm always heavier when I have AF. But, 900 grams down, wahooooooooooooo!!!!!!! It's the first loss since the initial amount I lostiin hospital when I first had Amelia. Just goes to show I was eating too much crap. AND I can get my engagement ring on, next on the list is my wedding band - the fluid is slowly going.....1 down, about 5 more to go lol.
Wow great to see the losses this week, congratulations to everyone!
Maz, good luck gardening and with your boke ride. Sterla glad you had a fun pump class, Id love to try one!
I feel like a fraud... weighed in Saturday, in the next 30 or so hours AF made her slow arrival and I have gained 1.3kg back in water weight. Joy :rolleyes: , going to have to work extra hard this week, that fake weight is not sitting there!
Think I'll record no change in weight. Yesterday it was down probably 1.5kg and today it's back up LOL. But i've had bloating on & off lately, and tbh, with my lack of dieting and very little exercise that went on through the week I doubt very much I've shifted anything. Just a fluctuation in weight. I'm hoping my herbal concoction will help sort out the bloating over this next week.
Here's to a new week everyone! Will probably only get to the gym twice this week, unless I go throught the day and get mum to watch the kids or something.
Sterla - nice work at the gym! The daycare thing would be hard for me too. Big hugs to your little man.
Lilias - That is awesome restraint! Woo hoo! And porridge is so good for you. I wish I liked it more LOL.
Alison - Woo hoo on the weight loss!'
DC - the fluid weight from AF is the fake weight. It will go again once AF is gone. You are doing really well!
Well I went for a jog yesterday. I ran a good pace but only did 20 mins as I had my dog with me and he was starting to drag and look a bit over it. So I then did 10 mins on a x-trainer. The jog part was fine but the x-trainer was crazy. My legs felt like jelly after it and I am soooo sore today. I feel like I have had cramps in each calf. Must be using totally different muscles to usual. The park near me has a big circuit of outdoor exercise equipment like x-trainer, rowing machine, etc. and is nice to jog around too so that was a bit of fun.
My cross trainer kills my Krysalyss!! I have given up on it for now until I am feeling a bit fitter so that ten minutes doesnt feel so hard, then i might feel more inlcined to keep getting back on instead of wimping out ;:rofl:
Great losses everyone !!! Awesome work from everyone.
I'm stuffed too - cos I was at the gym obviously with Sterla this morning (my poor kids are so used to being abandoned by mummy that NONE of them bloody cried.. Eden could of at least showed she missed me!! pffft).
So yes, I'm super unfit, not just unfit - but SUPER unfit, and its hard to do a step/pump class when your knee needs surgery because its been dislocated heaps of times and has heaps of cartiledge (sp?) floating around that grind every time I do a squat (oh the joyful pain of that) plus I only had the metal bar instead of the weight as well because of my sore elbow (DH says its tendonitis, but I'm not sure and don't want to go to doc cos they will put a great big stinkin needle in it to make it stop hurting - therefore I avoid....)
But anyhooooooooooooooooooooooo... I'm stuffed :lol:
Having some crispbread with skinny hommus at the moment (yummo!) and probably have an apple afterwards... now if only the toddler would SLEEP (she's refusing..)
Great work everyone :D. I had a bad eating day yesterday, went way over my calories but I did a 30 minute walk pushing the double pram. Today I stuck to my calories and did 20 minutes on the wii fit free step. :dance:
dragoncookie – that’s sounds great. I would be happy with 10kg.
maz – That’s been our greatest downfall, late night eating. And take away.
Rack off Hungry jack add's :angry: dont you realise im on a junk food ban!!!!!
I got on my new bike today...OMG I am so unfit. I got to the end of our street and back and I was stuffed :lol:. I had the trailer on the back but I was just shocked to how unfit I actually am :(
plan of attack...walking every second day and riding those days inbetween if it kills me!!!!!!
Well, after showing such great restraint this morning, I have let myself down and had way too much to eat/drink. I had 3 glasses of wine, some cheese and cabanossi, 2 glasses of soft drink, cake (plus the kids left overs).....ahhhh, the joys of weight loss. NOT! :wall: But I had a lovely dinner with friends, lol!
Tomorrow is a new day and I will get back to it. A walk will be on the cards, or maybe even a swim....and back to the healthy, reasonable eating!!
So, I am transferring positions within my place of work this week and as such needed to go shopping for more appropriate attire. I committed that I would not buy more clothes until I lost weight and now, a lot of $$$ later I have a whole new wardrobe to wear... Thx Mummy xoxo. How am I go onto push on with weight loss not feeling guilty about when clothes stop fitting soon? Darn. I am grateful but I was looking forward to size 14s and now I have all these new sexy clothes in my cupboard I want to make them last LOL.
Hi everyone :)
Yesterday I was just ok with my eating. Had some after dinner oven chips so felt a bit guilty about that as by the time they were cooked I didn't really feel like them but ate them anyway. :(
I went for a long walk because my leg is still so sore from the x-trainer. Then got on the exercise bike for 20 mins. Did almost 10kms so I was happy with that and the bike doesn't seem to work my calf much so it didn't hurt. Hope I haven't damaged my calf though as it still hurts so much this morning.
AF arrived today so a bit blah. Am going to start counting calories today as my eating is really what lets me down and I don't want to put in all of the hard work with exercise only to eat it all back on again.
Anyway hope you all have a great day! Will post tomorrow with results :)
well for all my good intentions, i really did very little about them!
had a very disappointing first week so this week will be pulling my finger out! i still find it very hard to fit in exercise - i'm a bit of a sook i think & let being tired get to me. which is esp bad when i know that actually exercising will make me feel better & more energised :wall:
anyway, my goals remain the same as last week, just need to actually stick to them.
Hi girls
Lovely reading everyone's posts, your all doing so well exercising
I had a great first week with a loss of 4kg's, with 2 cm of waist and hips. I notice my back fat has gone, which I love. I didnt do any exercise, I just cut out ALL (and I mean all) fat foods. I cant believe it actually works.
Try your hardest to cut out fatty foods for a couple of weeks
Hi everyone and congrats on the great losses :clap:
I'm back on "the wagon" this morning after a long weekend away at a wedding :redface: I have just weighed myself and sent in my results but can't find the tape measure anywhere so will have to measure next week. I have lost a kg - but as I wasn't very good - it may reappear next week :shakehead:
Off for another long walk today...and no JUNK FOOD :)
can someone point me in the direction of the weekly results? are they listed somewhere for us all to see?
i don't think the results are up until tomorrow...i'm sure i read wednesday somewhere!
Wed this week because some of the girls couldn't weigh in Monday due to the public holiday (if they weigh at the gym etc). Usually I will post on the Tuesday :)
cool thanks for the answer. will you put it on the first page?
Hey girls, have been a bit slack posting. Need to pull my socks up because it makes me so much more positive when I do.
Mel and Sterla, great to hear about your gym escapades (read very jealous of all of you who go). Sounds dumb but I love that pain when you know it's for a good reason (but Mel, you take it easy babe - don't seriously worsen those injuries - they sound horrendous).
Maz you can do it!
Wow DC. How great of your Mum! - if it's all quality stuff most of it can be altered don't forget, so it's not a waste. Enjoy your beautiful new things and your new job.
Hang in there Sloane - every little change makes a difference.
Hollo I'm sure she said tomorrow too.
Bengal - amazing isn't it lol!
Hope you haven't hurt yourself Krys. Ah yes, eating out of borebom. Isn't it a lightning strike though when you actually realise you are aware instead of the mindless eating?
Lilias - every day is a new day babe.
Alison that's great news!
AFM, DH is being irritatingly encouraging. Sun he wanted to go and have lunch on the wharf, but there really isn't any healthy options so I had fried fish and chips, but stopped eating when I was full. Later that afternoon he drags us out for a big walk with some killer hills both up and down. I had Nate in the meitei too, so it was about a thousand degrees! Reckon I sweated a litre out.
Then yesterday we went to a local wildlife park. It has lots of walking trails that you wander along. We walked most of it - about 4kms all up. I wished I had worn sneakers instead of sandals though as I have the worst shin splints today :wall:. Couldn't feel bad about myself though. Darc fell down the stairs the other day and I think she's badly sprained her ankle. It still hurts to touch (ie she won't let us near it) but she walked the whole way without a complaint.....
Because we are already up to 20 pages I wonder if I should start a new thread. I will ask a moderator and if I do, will put a link up in this one.
I am so knacked!!!!
I just did a round 5km walk with another mama and our amigo's...my mind feels so clear and even better, I dont even realise I walked so far cause we talked so much :). Mini me rode her bike but she has informed me that next week she's like to be in the pram lol.
BBL little boy needs a nappy change
Getting quite excited about seeing all our results posted tomorrow! :D Hopefully it will motivate us all to keep going!
I was going through some clothes in the bottom of my wardrobe looking for bathers and boardshorts, and I tried my board shorts on. Last time I tried them they wouldn't do up, this time they did, easy! It's hard to see that you've lost centimeters when there's so much flab there, lol - but that is definite proof that it is coming off!
Off for a long walk this afternoon with DS in the pram. However, tonight we're going out for tea with MIL to a pizza place... I am going to do the best I can to make the healthiest menu choice, and try not to over-indulge.
Well done guys :clap: Some fantastic results! I am so glad I joined this challenge to keep me motivated!
I am looking forward to seeing everyone's results tomorrow, I was pretty happy with my weight loss but am really keen to see those cm's decreasing.
I can't remember who it was that mentioned the shapemate website but thanks to whoever it was! I just mapped out the walk that I did today....3.5kms to my friends house and then another 4.5kms together, all the while pushing DS in the most horrible pram. It is the only one of the 3 that I have that lets him face me and he loves it...I hate pushing the stupid thing but the extra effort is more calories burnt I suppose ;)
Thanks everyone for sharing your stories, it helps to keep me motivated. Good luck to everyone for a super week 2.
