Hey just a quick note. I feel really motivated about being healthy this year thanks to all the chat on this forum. Also, its funny what a motivator it is to be planning to fall PG later in the year. I really need to be as healthy as possible and doing all the right things (folate, vitamins, eating right and (gulp!) even exercising) to reduce my risk of a baby with a cleft condition.
I will be taking a cut the crap approach like Tracey. I have tried WW and Sure Slim in the past and I go great guns when I have to turn up and be weighed and checked each week (I'm very responsive to an external locus of control LOL!) but I don't maintain motivation on my own and then over the next 6-12 months gradually put most/all of it back on. I think I too easily sucumb to the social pressure to eat junk when others are doing it too.
Veronica - well done on the 24kg mate! Fantastic effort - you must feel so proud!
I need to get myself one of those weight tickers thingummybobs. I don't have much to lose - 10-12kgs but they sure are stubborn!
Did that ticker work? what have I done wrong?
