Hello guys!

(and to appletree on her iPhone - IT's ME RAUPE! )

Jayne - Well done on you loss and enthusiasm! You're a champ!
ZF - I know how you feel - my partner is a bad influence, too. Although he does try to keep the real bad food away from me. But I can still smell what he had once I come home from work (mmmhhh pancakes). So he tries, but once I smell it, I crave it!
Appletree - I proud of you hun . Moving is such a strain (both mentally and physically). So well done on your loss!

AFM- Well, I was a bit scared of the weigh in day today. But guess what!! I LOST 1 KG!!!!! YAAYY! Wooohooo! So I guess all that zumba, yoga and walking was worth it after all! One happy Raupe here...

PS: I'm now officially in my 80's!!!!

Hi Ladies,

APPLETREE _ Rock on woman!!! I'm soooooooo proud of you for losing weight AND moving house AND not being happy about food available during the whole time & STILL losing weight!!! What a fantastic achievement. You should be over the moon with yourself. I am stoked for you!

RAUPE _ Well done to you too! 1kg is an awesome loss! Look at your little snail start to zoom across the ticker bar! You are soooooooo close to being half-way home. How exciting!

ZF _ I'm just going to say that you are pure ar$e for being able to openly admit to junk food & no exercise & then report a loss!!! msl: I know what it's like to veer off course, I'm classic for that. You really have to focus hard to get your mojo back, but I really think you will! WTG on reporting a loss. I am laughing when I post this. I'm actually envious!!! lol

Well, I'm back on target for the week. I have had my fun over the weekend & now it's time to pull my head back in. I went for a run this morning & then I did 5km on the crosstrainer cos I know I did damage eating so much birthday cake & lets just say my efforts at the buffet restaurant on Friday night were quite hardcore. lol. My weigh day is Thursday, so I have until then to try & get back in the running for another loss.

Raupe my DH is a huge bad influence, I am starting to not even let him buy the food so that way he won't even have the chance of eating any bad food. Not that he can't eat it he isn't overweight like me Oh and YAY on the loss.

Jayne, IKWYM we had a bad day on sat with eating and I paid for it later that night , I felt so sick. We did though have a better day on sun after we went shopping. As long as you can focus and get back ontrack that makes the difference.

Appletree WOOO HHOOO on loosing wieght whilst moving, that is a huge achievement.

ZF great that you had a loss as well, it is quite bad when we go to any of our folks, as there just don't understand how hard it is and try to serve up crap food and expect us to eat it, I always come home feeling really bad and rushing to the loo (sorry TMI). Since we have started eating only healthy foods, I can't touch anything greasy.

krysalyss it can be quite hard to do both, I'm the opposite, I pretty much have the healthy eating down pat (with little moments of weakness), but the exercise I need to get my but into gear. I'm not really a morning person so find it hard to do it

Well nothing to add here since the other day about me, other than me trying to get the motivation to do more exercise. Hope you all have a great week.

Hi guys - just a quickie for me as I am working late and keen to get home. Weight day for me tomorrow and I know I have put on as my eating is really not so good. Part of me thinks I should start tomorrow being good and part of me looks at my work deadlines over the next two weeks and wonders (OMG - I have a conference presentation to write, my thesis milestone to submit which needs 4 papers plus an intro and conclusion, a paper to finish for said milestone, and around 50 hours of video to watch). I am going crazy!!!! The good news is that our Japan trip is coming soon. I just need to survive until then. Anyway I will be back tomorrow. Bye!

Hey Ladies

I just had the most scrumptious lunch!! I can't beleive how much I enjoyed it. It's nothing fancy but man it tasted so good! I sliced up a tomato, some spanish onion (really thin), some cucumber & some ham, spread some crackers with some cream cheese (paper thin of course!!!) & just made up little bite size crackers loaded up with ham & veg. Was sooooooooo delish! The crackers were kinda like Salada's, but a bit more crumbly & they were the size of a quarter of a whole salada? Like a quarter of a slice of bread size? You know?

Krysalyss - Oh my goodness, you have so much on your plate right now! Do you think making a daily meal plan would help? Plan your breakfast, lunch & dinner, plus snacks & try to work around that? Then at least every morning you know you have the food covered, so it's one less thing to worry with all your other commitments?

Hi guys! Couldn't weigh in yesterday as the battery in my scales were flat. Feeling pretty good though as I have been feeding my body and brain well and more in control of what I am doing. Didn't exercise yesterday as my legs were so tired the night before but I have soccer training tonight and that is usually pretty full on.
So I hope everyone is going well! I am so hoping to see a nice loss next week for me. I really need it! I am starting to look pregnant!
