1. Get motivated and have a plan!
2. Get yourselves your bathroom scales and tape measure ready!

Some nice losses there!!! I'm impressed that I did better than I thought and I wasn't really trying that much - scary thought as to what might happen if I really did try .

[Liz]

Awesome effort by me! LOL.

Well done everyone Finally got to the gym tonight, so am more motivated to keep it up. Hopefully I'll have some kind of result next week! haha

[MrsFabuloso]

OMG, girls!!! Congrats!!! They are some huge losses! And I was happy with my tiny (in comparison!) 1kg and 3cm!! Great job

[Arimeh]

Awesome job!!! Oh, and incase anyone is wondering why my measurements aren't there - DH is from the old school weight loss where you only measure yourself once a month. So I'm happy to go along with him. Oh, plus the kids lost my measuring tape so I don't have a choice anyway.. lol

Gym again tomorrow - can't wait. Not sure what we are going to do, but definitely have to do something Even though my muscles are caning so much that I can barely move at the moment...

[AliBaby]

I promise to keep up with this thread this week!

Massive congrats to everyone. You are all doing so incredibly well. Here's to another great week. My results arent up there yet but only jsut sent them in.

I am now off work for the week with a sick DD but am going to take this time (when I should be at work) to take her out for fresh air walking.

I have been trying to do as much incidental exercise I can.

ie. carrying DD alot, dancing in the house and chest presssing DD in the air, crawling around the house hiding from her. walking around the shops at a good pace heaps.

Def need to amp it up this week though with proper exercise.

ETA- Maz- I might be getting a bike trailer for DD!! I showed DP and he loves the idea so it might be my mothers day present as my mothers day wish is to have more family time. YAY if I get it. I have bike trailer envy when I see yours!

[kawazuki]

wow what amazing losses everyone..

i think my biggest cm was from my waist, just the no fizzy drink extra water, took away sooo much bloating i didnt know i had.. very suprised by that

been very slack though today and yesturday with my birthday i had a few slices of cake
but am back on water only and juice now

[Sterla]

Awesome work everyone!!! We all deserve a big pat on the back!

Yup, I'm at the gym tomorrow with Mel Looking forward to it!

Just came back from going out for tea... It was soooo hard to restrain myself, but I think I did okay. It was a pizza place, and I ordered a roasted pumpkin pizza (the pizzas are about the size of a dinner plate), and I had all but 3 slices. DH had one, DS had one and another woman at the dinner had one. I also restricted myself to one glass of coke. So, hopefully not too much damage done. Hopefully I can work it all off and then some at the gym tomorrow!

Overall I'm feeling so, so good about my weight loss journey! In the past when I've tried to lose weight I think I knew deep down that I wasn't really trying. But this time I feel so good and so determined! I will be thin - I will be as hot as my avvy!

Congratulations again everyone on your great losses!

[AliBaby]

YAY Sterla! You are doing the most incredible job! You should be really really proud xo

[Sterla]

Thanks Bella . You're doing awesome too! I love watching that little writing in your sig .

[leckert]

krysalyss, can you put up what bits we should be measuring up in the first post again - I had trouble remembering this week and had to go hunting until I found a post saying that you'd put them up in the first post (with all the instructions) of the last thread.

[Bengal]

Well Done Everyone

I have a feeling this is one weight loss challenge everyone is going to stick too

[Sibbie]

WOW good work everyone!!!!

I only just pm'd my results, I lost 2 kilos!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't expect that at all.

I'm excited for week two, I need to keep my posting up to keep my motivation up

[~Kim~]

WTG Girls!! Look at those numbers!!!
Totally agree Bengal.

Tell me what you're proud of yourselves for this last week???

Me
1. I was prepared on trips and took appropriate snacks rather than buying rubbish
2. I identified and stopped eating out of boredom
3. If i was full or not hungry - I stopped eating rather than finishing the plate

[Laranna]

Yay! Great work everyone

[ss_storm]

well done everyone (except for me )

I have a confession..I seriously considered dropping out of the challenge...I'm just finding it really hard to stick to eating healthily and not snacking on junk, hence why I didn't lose anything...Wii Fit kept telling me I'd lost a bit but then the next time I weighed in it would be back up again so I think it just depended on the time of day i was doing it. Haven't measured myself but I'm guessing it would still be the same.
I know I want to lose the baby weight, and I don't have all that much to get rid of, it's just sticking with eating properly that I think is tripping me up. I am addicted to chocolate which doesn't help, and DF isn't that supportive despite saying to me that if I wanted to lose the weight I could (and yeah showing me a pic of your "hot" cousin who has 3 kids but doesn't look it and has lost 23 kg in 7 months then telling me I could do it just as easily (not that I have that much to lose) doesn't really help!)

Sorry for the pity post...I really want to be happy with the way I look but can't seem to find the motivation for long enough to actually do something about it. I do exercise most days, taking the dog for a walk and pushing the pram for at least an hour, plus walking to the shops if I have to go there, I carry DD around a fair bit and have been doing the Wii Fit challenge, but obviously that's not enough if I keep eating the way I do.

[Baby14]

SS...please don't give up! You are fitting in lots of great excercise

Maybe you could set yourself some small goals this week eg, if you snack a lot between meals on 'bad' food, maybe you could just reduce the amount that you snack on? Or you could try to have one good day and then allow yourself a treat or 2 the following day? Before you know it, you will have started to break some bad habits and will feel much better.

I have a long way to go and have developed some really bad snacking habits after having DS and found myself eating icecream or chocolate every night I have not forbidden myself from eating them but have really tried to cut down the amount that I eat if I do have some and to make sure that it is not every night.

I also find that reading what everyone else is up to really keeps me on track and motivates me.

Stick with it, I'm sure you'll do great

[Nai]

Don't give up SS - you CAN do this!!

Well done everyone on your losses - I feel a bit flat this week but I will get back on the wagon as I have a 100km bike ride to do this weekend - eeeek!!!
