    That can't seriously be healthy for Elle though! Don't judge yourself on others Onyx. Have you been measuring as well as weighing/

    The scales aren't going down a whole lot for me, but the tape measure says I've lost a couple of cms from tummy, hip and thigh.

    It has to be a misprint - it would make her BMI 17 and even though she's slender she's not scary thin.

    I know that I shouldn't compare myself to other people but confronted with 2 pages of vital statistics it's hard not to.

    So disappointed, back to 95.4 BUT i am aware of why, with DD1's birthday last week, LOTS of naughty foods, softdrink, alcohol and very little exercise.
    So tomorrow i will be walking before the library, today will be fruit as snacks and a sandwich for lunch with lots of veggies for tea.
    Might try and get the bike happening again aswell.. I WILL reach my goal

    Phew! I've only put on 100g, which is way less then I was expecting. I'm annoyed at myself for slipping last week, but pleased that I haven't done as much damage as I was expecting. I need to do grocery shopping, so going to sit down and do a meal plan and proper shopping list before I head off. *I will not go down the chocolate isle, I will NOT go down the chocolate isle...*

    My weight this morning is 71.2kg, so another 800g loss. That makes 4.2kg so far. I am also down another cm each off my waist and hips and .5cm off my thighs.
    I just bought a size 10 gold silk SABA dress off ebay to wear to a wedding at the end of November, so I can't slack off now. Should be fine, I can JUST squeeze myself into another size 10 dress I already own... give me a few more weeks and it will be perfect.

    Onyx, I was reading an article about Victoria Beckham's post baby diet at the gym the other day. It was something like 600 calories a day. She was back to 45kg in like 6 weeks. What the? I weighed more than that when I was 12. Celebrities are freaks and I wouldn't want to look like many of them anyway.

    MM, good luck avoiding the chocolate aisle. I still have chocolate because DH likes it, I just don't eat it until he does cause he is really good at rationing it. You definitely don't get more than a serving when he has control of the block of chocolate.

    OK, so I fell off the wagon but I’m back now. I got a terrible throat infection and was really sick and I didn’t run for two weeks, TWO WHOLE WEEKS. Anyway, I’m back running again now but I’ve put on 800g. Just to recap, I started at 72kg, got to 67kg (which was my conservative goal) and am back up to 67.8kg with a new goal of 65kg. I’ve got my 10km fun run on Sunday 6th November and I’m hoping to do it in less than 80 minutes. I’m still not eating as well as I would like but I’m heading in the right direction. Change is a process not an event!

    500g gain for me this week which I'm pretty bummed about because my bub has been teething and I thought I would have lost at least 3kg with all the breastfeeding and stress. My friends having a trial run for their new organic wood-fired pizza stall last night didn't help. On the positive side I've had heaps of compliments again this week and virtual strangers telling me how well I look. Yay!
    So, my current weight is 64.8kg, my goal weight is 60kg and my total loss so far is 2.2kg. My approach so far has been pretty relaxed so I'm going to amp things up from now on. Next week I want to see a 3 after the 6 - I don't even care what the number is after that 3. By the end of the month I'd like to be at 62, giving me the whole of November to lose those last two kg.

    Onyx, they say the camera packs on the kgs and I bet Elle would actually look really emaciated if you saw her on the street. I personally wouldn't want to be that skinny and certainly wouldn't want the deprivation needed to get that way either.
    Ausgirl, good work with the 400g loss. So nice when the scales move in the right direction
    Zarava Flutterby, you WILL reach your goal - shame there are so many temptations and distractions to knock us off the wagon
    munchkin_mumma, meal planning is a great idea - saves you lots of money and wastage too
    Manhattan, thanks so much for taking over the list and keeping us on track. You legend!
    berrme, you are inspirational! Can't wait to fit into a size 10 again.
    RhiChiChi, nothing gained means nothing extra to lose
    Epacris, glad you're feeling better. Only 2.8kg to go! You'll run that off in no time. Good luck on Sunday

    NO walk this morning, had a very unproductive day yesterday with Miss Z and her sore nose and Miss A just after sympathy so have decided with do some cleaning this morning (workout in itself right) then head to the library then do a quick shop then home for some more housework and washing hanging, might even take the girls for a walk in the paddock to check the wombat hole.

    Today for lunch the girls wants hotdog spaghetti so i'm going to indulge them in that and throw ohn a bit of spaghetti sauce we have in the freezer (packed full of veggies) but am buying some salad stuff at the shops and some yummy fruit, not 100% sure what i'm doing for tea yet, might be mango salad with greek lamb chops

    Will try for 15min on the bike this arvo too.

    I forgot to check in yesterday. Currently 94.2. Weekly loss of 600g, total 1.3kg.
    This week I've only done one session of C25k and one of pilates. I have chronic insomnia again so it's a challenge to walk in a straight line atm. Had a decent sleep last night so hopefully I might get something in. Tomorrow's a write off.

    I need to stop having vanilla slices with my coffee when out. I'm gluten intolerant. I shouldnt eat that stuff anyway.

    I weighed myself today. I was 57kg so that's a 400g loss. I'll take that - it's better than a gain.
    I ran 9.2km in an hour today so even if I have only lost about 500g since the challenge started I have increased my treadmill workout by 4kms and 30 minutes so I'm fitter if not skinnier and surely fit is more important than skinny.
    I ate bread and dip for lunch and a third of a lamington for afternoon tea - food is still my downfall.

    At least it was only a third of the lamington! I would have eaten the whole thing and probably had a second! Will power is my downfall!

    Ok now that I am awake and have weighed myself... I am kind of pleased to say (in that i have not gained weight) and also pretty disappointed to say I am exactly where I started on September 1! Well, I havent really grasped this challenge whole heartedly! Pretty **** poor effort!
