ZF, that is brilliant your dh is back at work, good luck on getting to your goal for the school reunion!
Lilias, how wonderful that your jeans are hanging off! Hope you have a wonderful shopping trip to get new clothes, you deserve it!!
I have been very quiet sorry, trying to keep up with the 12wbt chat as well! I can't believe what a difference the 12wbt has made, I lost 1.6kgs since Saturday! It really is all about what you eat, I am not training anywhere near as hard as I was, but I am completely in control of what I am eating and i feel fantastic already! I am now only 350g away for my where I last updated my ticker and I hope I can smash through that in next weeks weigh in! The biggest difference has been with dinners, having a whole stack of meals that I know are going to fill me up, taste delicious and keep me well under my cal count makes it very very easy. I can't believe how bad I was getting the meat portion sizes!
Tried on clothes today. OMG boy what incentive to lose weight. I am at that point, smallest sizes in Autograph and Taking Shape. Fit into 16 at Target, but I look lumpy. Don't want to wear a sack, but anything tight is showing off way too many lumpy bits!.
Sitting down with my TWD books and menu planning for the week!
How are we all going?
Last week HotI was busy but i managed to do a walk on my own and did it faster than normal which was a bit of a buzz but this week DD2 has a throat infection and DD1 has the snots today so we wont be getting a walk til maybe tomorrow and every spare minute i get i'm trying to get stuff done without a sick child attached.
I got on the scales and i've lost 100g so will maybe try for 15min on the bike today if i can get the girls to sleep at the same time and if i don't have millions of things to do
ZF, don't be disheartened, maybe you're gaining in muscle. I know it sounds like a cop out to say, but it's true. Muscle is better than fat, as it burns more calories and is more dense, meaning smaller clothes sizes!!
Anyway peoples I have decided to stop with the weightloss for a little while. Having a bit of a tough time with a few health issues of my own, plus DS2 is a terrible sleeper (how did I get blessed with 3 non sleeping children???) and I am struggling with every aspect of trying to lose weight. I'm not going to go on a bender, but I'm not going to weigh myself regularly nor worry if I eat hot chips for lunch one day. I will be back when thing settle in our house and I have managed to get things under control more. I will still be trying to be healthy (not lose weight necessarily!), albeit a little less whole heartedly and no pressure on myself right now! Giving myself a break.
So congrats to those of you who are losing weight and are dedicated. I will check in from time to time to see how you're going and use you all as some motivation! And as I said I will be back. I do need to lose weight and I'm not in denial! But at the moment it's just proving to be pressure I am not coping with! So good luck everyone!
Hi guys. Well I am here again because I have totally fallen off the wagon in every way (weigh he he) and saw a photo today that shocked me. Feeling pretty down about it. Started counting my food today but I know how busy I am with work and everything and have kind of stopped believing I can do this right now. I looked so good just a year ago but have totally let myself go. Argh! I hate myself right now for this! I really really need someone to just be harsh and tell me that I got myself into this position and I have to take responsibility for my actions. So Kris WAKE UP TO YOURSELF!
OK Thats it. Hope you guys are all going well
Kris - even tho it feels hard right now, if you don't do it now, you will just keep feeling so annoyed at yourself! You might as well do it cos committing to it will make you feel so much better about yourself.. And before you know it, one day of good choices will turn into a week, a month of good choices and you'll be feeling happy & proud of yourself again. Don't waste time beating yourself up, just know how AWESOME you are going to feel with every little win. Set some nice simple goals for tomorrow. You can do it, & I expect to hear about it!!
Aww hun YOU CAN DO IT, i'm right there with you, the girls were sick, we were busy and now i've got a cold and it's been so so easy to just forget about it, today HotI is busy but i've decided i am still going for a walk ON MY OWN.
So i'm packing the girls in the car, walking then heading to the library.
It doesn't help that while my mum was here she broke my scales so i've found it too easy to just not worry about it.
Today it ends and i'm back to normal.
Life's busy at the moment... I'm doing my final exams for uni (+about a million assignments), we are currently looking to buy a house, i'm working almost everyday, I'm busy planning my wedding (which distracts me from the first mentioned) and I'm helping plan my future SIL wedding.... AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I'm going insane!!!!
Needless to say I've fallen off the wagon and am very unhappy to report that I put on 4kg.
Hey chicks, good to hear from so many of you! I am failing miserably at the 12wbt... I have lost about a kg in 6 weeks! I'm working full time now, so things have been crazy, i haven't been to the gym in about 10 weeks, have just been trying to excercise at home with dvds... blah. The food has been great though, its so nice to have so many healthy yummy recipes up my sleeve, just need time to make them!
I'm still here, my scales are broken, but i got on them the other day and i am back up to 97
But i am waiting to buy some new scales and then i am going to weigh and MEASURE... grr might get HotI to measure me so i know where to measure.
Am back into walking and am planning on running around like a nutter today doing some cleaning, am also back to eating better.. so angry at myself for gaining again.. Grr
YAY for the loss Belfie.. keep up the great work hun.
Hi girls!!!!
Back after a month's self imposed ban!
I'm 500g from being in the 60s!!!!! Too excited, when I hit 69.9 I'm buying new jeans!
My biggest problem now is that I am a shape I've never been before. I used to be an upside down triangle- and now i'm a pear!!! So I have to learn how to dress!!!
I need a stylist.
Quiet in here.
It's cold but i still need to make the effort, have stalled a bit and am over the excuses.
Got on the scales this morning and after getting back up to 97.7 just over a week ago i'm happy to say i was 92.5
Going for a walk this morning and thinking i might stop in at Contours and check out he prices, that way i can walk 3 mornings a week and then when DP gets home i can go there 3 nights a week?
ZF - wow, 5kg, that's an awesome loss! You go girl
PRM - I was wondering the same thing about ~Jayne~ and nope, haven't seen anything either .
krystals - ooooh that's so exciting, and I hear you on the stylist, can we also get the budget for a new wardrobe too? I have some old (but new again) jeans that fit my butt beoooootifully... but just can't squeeze my waist into 'em... well not if I want to breathe again anyways. I'm down to one decent pair of pants that fit, and they're just cargos. I so want new clothes. So so so badly. But I so so so want to wait till I'm at my goal! Arrgh!
AFM - well AF this week after a good loss on the weekend. And I'm so close to a major milestone, so I have been working my butt off - 1 hour of exercise every single day this week, burning 300+ calories a day. So I cannot wait to weigh tomorrow, I have everything crossed for a good result. I'm feeling good & hopeful.... I'm also starting to get heaps of comments too now which is just totally awesome. Mumma feelin' HAWT!!
EDIT: I DID IT, I DID IT! Lost 0.4kg and reached my milestone. Total loss so far is now 9.2kg. Ecstatic!!!!!!
