NYBTC Chatter Week #7 & #8

[Lucy]

Been a bit quiet in here girls.......

I have been AWOL too......sick as a dog with an infection.

The AB's seem to have worked though and I feel marginally better.

I have started doing a fitball cardio routine.....far out, that sends the heart rate pumping, LOL!

Weigh in day for me tomorrow.......I am not hopeful........

Thanks Nat, moved on from the gastro with a raging bout of cystitis and infected kidneys....not great for someone who already has below level kidney function....the belly that I lost is back through fluid retention...
Since DH has been back i have been very not restrained and hardly any exercise with visitors and illness etc and I have to say I feel like crap.
Luckily I guess I haven't put back on any weight but if I don't get my finger out, I don't think it will be long....
Turning 30 in 2 weeks and really need to try...now if the drugs will just kick in so I can move a bit....

It's weighin and measure week isn't it?

I reckon I'm going to have to pull out. All this kidney stuff has left me so bloated with water retention that I look six months pregnant. The results will be skewed too much. Sorry Nat.

yes, I think tomorrow or Saturday is D-day.
I hope I stay the same as what i was at the halfway point! (I am going off my home scales as these were what all my other weigh ins were done on) The 6 days on holiday certainly did not do my weight loss efforts any good.

Went fo my first WW meeting last night, it was a lot better than I expected.

AF has reared her ugly head and I'm not on the pill (have been since i stopped b/f but didnt renew my script in time) so I'm getting PMS for the first time in ages, and trying to hold off on the sugar and chocolate cravings. Its really hard!

Weigh in tomorrow.....right, better try & remember that!

I weighed in yesterday at the chemist and lost another 1kg, so am pretty happy.....slow and steady wins the race and all that......

And I have started doing a fitball cardio workout (at home, on DVD). Fark.....the first time I did it I realised how totally unco I am.....it is bloody hard work!

If everyone could start getting their weights and measurements into me that would be great!

I have not been around much on BB lately but I have continued to attend the gym on most days since I joined, including this morning for my first solo go at the weights machine routine they worked out for me. Picked today because it would be quiet and there were only a couple of people in the gym so I didn't feel too unco. Unfortunately I don't think my gym time is translating into lower numbers on the scales just yet. Not to worry, I refuse to give up and, like others have said, I want this to be a new kind of lifestyle where I am actually fit and healthy

It has been fairly quiet in here. Prob'ly because the year is well underway and everyone gets really busy.

Mitch - hope you're travelling ok mate. Take care.
Kim - really sorry to hear you have been having such a rough time of it and feeling so terrible. Hope you're feeling better soon.
Lucy - WTG!!! You are a machine, slow and steady is the best kind of weight loss and a kilo in a week is not to be sniffed at anyway
Lea - forgot today was D-Day so will have to weigh and measure tomorrow morning (for what it's worth!) and will pm you then.
