Well done everyone, you are all doing so well!

Well, I am 66kg, up 600g since last weigh in 3 weeks ago. All measurements are the same though so I don't feel too bad. To be honest I think that last weigh in where I was 65.4 was a bit of a feak... maybe I was dehydrated or something.
Anyway, I had a great workout today and am feeling good. Today I start being good again.

Nai, eating out is not my problem, at least then I can select my meal. Both my parents and PILs live in Cairns so they always decide they should feed us up while we are there... like we can't look after ourselves. We wake up to bacon and eggs or pancakes when I just want my cereal. Maybe I should aim to be 60kg when I go back up there for xmas... then I have some room to put on xmas weight.

Keep up the good work, girls.

"morn'n everyone" (to be read in some sort of country and western american accent)

Nadine, thanks for asking hon, my beautiful hubby and I have been ttc since Sep 08, in that time we've had 2 x mc's (probably 3 mc's, all this year) and we totally can't wait to have a family!! I put on 4 kg's with the 1st pg and another 4 with the 2nd pg so have 8 to loose to get back to pre pregnancy and before the pg's I had 5kg's to loose anyway so that = just lots of weight to loose... Focusing on that is the only thing keeping me sane so nup, no way uh uh, hehhehe, I wont trade places with the weight, I'm stoked to be back in the 68's

berme I always think that if I've seen the lower figure than it's not far away if I go up again so it still can lift my spirits iykwim, hang in there you are doing great

belfie my friend sounds like you've got a good plan there, cant' wait to read about your loss this week xx

AFM I'm doing great! been going to the beach still which is just hte best thing ever for my soul!!! and I'm getting a nice tan and still love my hair and life's good... Just can't wait to loose more weight and than put it all back on again in the form of a bubba

Nai: Hope you get through spring carnival ok Enjoy.
Cherished: Congratulations on your loss You sound really pumped and ready to go... It's cool, and very inspiring.
Belfie: Thanks mate. I am feeling much more positive today about everything. Good on you - two walks a day! That's great. And yeah, it's a good workout taking the kids, hey? I find pushing my two up the hill in the stroller gets my heart going like mad, LOL!
Nadine: Sorry about the tummy bug - that's the worst Hope your DH gets better soon.
I got heaps thicker around the tummy in my last pregnancy... I used to be a real pear shape but since having Phoebe I have just been a big round ball, LOL! So I suppose the waist cm loss is just getting me back to my original shape... When I have lost weight in the past I've lost it easiest from my waist and of course my boobs. Thanks to bfeeding I still have a pretty decent rack going
Berrme: PMSL @ your parents needing to feed you up. Mine are the same - we went there for dinner last night and there was enough food for 8 and there were 4 of us there (plus the kids... who don't actually eat much/anything). Glad you are feeling good, and that's a beautiful weight you're at
Tinsel: Congrats on the "woohoo", mate Good on you.

This week is rough - lots of birthdays and birthday dinners. Have our niece's 18th tomorrow night and... YAY! I fit into a top I bought a few weeks ago that I thought I'd have to return. (It is a pink and black theme, and I found this top with sparkles etc and just bought it without trying it on ) It's a lovely reminder that the weight is coming off, even if it's not as fast as I'd hoped.
Anyhoo, I haven't been the most careful with my eating the last few days, out to breakfast one day, to dinner two nights, plus there's the party to come, and I have done some cooking for it that I stupidly kept sampling as I cooked. What a knob. But hopefully my good behaviour apart from that will help me out for next weigh-in.

Hi guys! Sorry Tinsel - I have added your stats in.
Well I haven't actually been hiding just really busy at work and now we are down to dial-up speed - so painful! I have been sick the last couple of days but slept from 4pm yesterday until this morning and felt a lot better today. So exercise has gone by the wayside a bit this week apart from soccer. But at least my eating has been fine. Expecting a small loss on Saturday as I have lost 1cm from my waist (my horror area). As long as the tummy keeps going I will be happy!
Anyway hope you are all going well. Bye!

Holy abs! I did a weights session with my PT today that focussed on triceps, back and abs. It really hurt! I am going to be sore tonight/ tomorrow, that is for sure.

lol Snacks, thanks. I feel fairly beautiful, I just want to shift the last few kilos that I never seem to get rid of. It would be nice to see what I look like with a slightly smaller bum and thighs. Knowing my luck I will just get an even smaller waist and look like Jessica rabbit. I guess that would be ok, she is pretty hot.

Cherished1, Thanks for your positivity. It must be really hard mentally to be ttc and to have to lose weight after mc's, it is very inspiring that you can be so positive. I hope you are putting the weight back on soon.

Tinsel, great losses, well done!

I weighed myself this morning and the scales said 65.2! down 800g in 2 days? I don't think so... I hate scales! At this rate I will be in the 64's by my next official weigh in on Wednesday.
