Wow Vanessa, that must be upsetting to hear from your mum! It is great that you were able to stand up for yourself; seriously, 36 years old! Heh. I am so glad to hear that the new man is going well.. just take it slow and enjoy it! You are braver than I am!
I ran both days this weekend - went to the park where they have a huge walking paved walk/bike track around the lake. It's hard to believe it's right in the middle of town, it's so gorgeous. I jog/walked but actually jogged for 15-20 mins both days. Felt great! It is totally a psychological and not physical challenge to keep going when you want to stop. Good training for life!
Also - hit 67.1kg today - 50.6kg lost!! Now have to reset goal to 65kg by the time I get home and visit my surgeon for the first time in a year!

Yeah it's a lot easier here when it's been 30-35 deg and sunny every day! Actually it was almost too hot yesterday - thought I was going to melt.

"I told her I was 36 and deal with it!!"
hehee vanessa that did make me laugh. Your comment back to her. I bet she was expecting a tirade.
JHC guys. I came back day after day to find no one posting, and the one time I disappear for a few weeks i find u two are running rampant what with the dating scene etc.... WOOHOO go girls
My new man and I are doing ok, almost 7 months now talk of moving down south to live if all is still going well at the end of the year. I want to go back to uni to do midwifery (Don't hate me Gen) and there is a great university down there. Also if I work for NSW Health i get paid clinical leave and paid study leave on occassion.
Weight loss slow and steady. Havent lot anything the past few weeks, but havent gained either. On a bright note, I am now mostly buying size 12 clothes (when i can afford it) woohoo.
Must run, massively sore head and want some chillax time xox
Oh - and welcome to the newbie

Little guy and new man are going to meet this weekend...I've decided LOL Had some talks with my son, and we are going to invite him J over for pizza and footy on Friday night.
Spoke more with my mum tonight, and she is happy for me. She is just old fashioned and thought he should respect me by meeting the parents first LOL
I lost 300g this week, and it has kicked me back to tracking what I eat. I want to see a bigger loss on the scales. I want to lose another 5% by the end of the term - 10 weeks. Still raining so no running for me. Thinking of buying a treadmill... will look to see the how much that will set me back on the weekend LOL

Been busy tracking - had a few planned slip ups... pizza on Friday night plus dessert LOL
Rain has stopped jogging this week. Went for a a walk yesterday with the new man.
He came over and we spent time together this weekend with Liam... there were a couple of moments with Liam not happy with getting his own way, feeling jealous when I was talking with the BF, and when Liam wasnt winning the game! ARGHHHH! But generally went okay... looking more forward to next weekend when little one is at his dad's.
Been busy cooking today... made a beef and lentil lasagne for dinner, chili con carne soup for lunches during the week. Planned to make a dessert tonight but wouldnt fit in the day's food allowance. LOL
Having a problem with constipation at the moment.. hoping it sorts itself out, cause at this stage I dont think I am gonna be lighter on the scales tomorrow. LOL

Things are still going well with the new man... he saw some Rod Stewart CDs on my shelf and mentioned about buying tickets this week to take me to see him live ... the concert is Feb 14 2012!!
Even though I exercised the most I have for weeks, I have been eating poorly this week, so I am not looking forward to seeing a gain this week at Monday night's weigh in!
Hope the rest of you are doing better than me!

That's a good sign if he's talking about 6 months from now Vanessa!
I was 65.7kg today, BMI 23.2 My scales tell me I have 25.9%/17kg body fat. Feeling pretty good, although have been tired this week. I have a doctor's appt tomorrow - was meant to be the annual girly check but TTOTM arrived today so I don't think so! Will ask if I can get some labs done to check for anemia since the blood bank rejected me due to low hemoglobin and the fatigue.
Heading home for a visit on Thursday - only a week but cannot wait to see my nieces, christening for my new goddaughter, friends and family.
PS: I still wonder wtf happened to Ani and Lindor!

So where do you call home? It will definitely be a flying visit, but great to see family.
Any more dates?
I have really sucked at the whole dates and eating out... we had dinner out two nights this week, plus went out dancing...I had 3 drinks which I hadnt tracked and I know I have gone over my weekly "opps" allowance of 49 additional points. I havent been having dessert, but it soooo tempting.
I gained 600g last week, so that is 800g total gain in the fortnight... I need to turn that figure around. It is gonna take some motivation and determination to see results.
I spoke to my PT on Tuesday night about my goal to lose now 7kg in the next 7 weeks... he said to change the goal... originally it was 6 kg in 10 weeks. I know he was trying to motivate me to achieving it, but I am thinking I really need to be realistic and change the goal.... ARGHHHH!

Slowly slowly losing weight - lost another 300g this week. Sort of hit another plateau... been in the same kg range for the past 3 weeks. Planned my menus for this week's evening meals and I am shaking things up a bit... planned 3 new soups for lunches. Got my exercise bike fixed, used it twice in the last 4 days it has been fixed. Still dating the new man... we have been exercising lots LOL but nothing that is helping the scales go down. I am still a bit self conscious with my mid section... I havent shown anyone other than my ex husband myself naked post baby, and he was with me before baby so he knew what I looked like pre pouch and stretch marks, and mid section roll LOL It is motivation though to get down to goal... I cant wait to be naked at goal weight LOL

What is arthromyalgia?
I have lost another 600g this week... I was excited and shared it with a colleague and she said "I bet you feel disappointed... you have done all that work and for 600g."
I looked at her shocked and said, "I have lost 15kg this year so far! I am overjoyed at such a loss... I have been plateauing for the last few weeks and I am in the next kg..." She expected weightloss to be like the Biggest Loser, big kilo drops each week. Bit annoyed that there is that unreal expectation out there... How is everyone else going?

basically pain / inflammation in the joints. My finger joints have been swelling and are very very sore. normally I have a pretty high pain threshold but i can't even stand a tissue touching them. Let alone trying to put gloves on at work. Been pretty difficult to work to but have been pushing through with some pills. Doc took bloods, unsure of results yet. Was quite sudden. pinky on one hand, then a month later pinky on other. they settled and the index finger and ring finger on my right hand blew up.
What a cow - re you work collegue. You don't need negative people like that around you so don't even share with her anymore. Just wait till one day she / they / he will look and go WOW. 15kg is massive. congrats
I'm same. no movement again. Could have something to do with the fact that when the man is here i eat pretty well, but when he goes hom i sort of dont eat until mid afternoon, and am a bit depressed so dont cook as many veges for dinner. Must get moveing and motivated again. Going to visit him in 3 weeks so will give me a little incentive to look my best. And moving down to be with him permanently at xmas time. Already checked out the gyms and schools etc. WOOHOO
