OMG McDonalds is NOT MY FRIEND. My lunch today consisted of a cheeseburger fries and shake and it was 951 cal. So no nutrition in all them calories, and the fries taste like oil and I always feel bloated for ages afterwards. Wonder if it's due to the salt? I am NEVER having that sh*t again

951 in one meal... omg.. no wonder poeple that eat it 3 times a day are so huge.. lol

I really need to watch that movie supersize me. Everyone tells me to.

You know I reckon we are all more expert than the experts in all this weightloss fight. We are armed with so much information and we all share that with each other its a wonder we aren't all skinny minnies by now. I guess it does have a lot to do with willpower, and body type

Oh yeah and may I mention that it wasn't even a LARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go figure.

Vonni watch this:

then tell me why you're going to subsist on a diet of Maccas

See, I've watched Supersize Me (excellent film by the way) but I still like McDonalds. And I love their fries! As my mother always says - everything in moderation!

I ended up having a pretty good day yesterday. Diet wasn't 100% on track but I did end up going to the gym and having a good hard 40 minute cardio session.

Goals for today are to stick to my points and to go to the gym again.

maybe i need KFC jk

Ok I just watched it. But it's SUPPOSED to be 100% beef and all real potato. yukky yukky yukky

lmao vonni

May as well post this here. Don't worry, I won't be offended if you can't donate.

I am walking in the American Heart Association Heart Walk on Saturday morning, a 5km walk to raise money for heart disease and stroke treatment, research and education. It's an issue close to my heart since my dad had a stroke in 2006, and I work with heart failure pts every day.

You can donate here: https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg...7913190E0925E3

or contact me via PM to arrange donation (eg. via paypal, direct deposit etc) of ANY amount. Every little bit helps.

Thanks!
Gen
PS: hoping the 5km also takes some heart disease risk off my arse!

The meat is 100% beef - and then they add their preservatives, and the other additives. I refused to eat McDonalds from the moment (about 18 years ago) when I saw a documentary about how much of the Amazon forest was chopped down to graze cattle, which were eventually turned into 100% beef for McDonalds.

This week has not been good for food for me - I'm pretty annoyed with myself, but I am in one of those cycles where I do well until mid-afternoon and then manage to completely lose the plot! Hmmm…

I'll weigh in tomorrow and see what the damage is, and then jump back on the wagon .

And they tell us it's 100% Australian beef lol. OMG. I am gonna tell my 8yr old daughter. She loves happy meals. Yet doesn't eat meat (go figure). Maybe if I gross her out enough she'll turn

Gen good on you for walking for a good cause! I'm really sorry but I just can't afford to donate anything. Hopefully you'll raise lots of money and have a great time doing it!

I didn't make it to the gym yesterday and went over my points by 4 points by drinking 2 glasses of wine and eating pretzels. Oops.

This week is pretty much a bust as far as exercise goes so I'm just going to try and focus on my diet and do the best I can with that.

Going to the movies tonight to see Mama Mia - I've been wanting to see it for ages but haven't gotten around to it so I'm going to go while 1 cinema is still showing it!!

Weighed in - 73.9kg, so at least I have undone the damage of the last week. I guess the good thing about it is that I haven't let my bad days become an excuse for gaining weight. The old me would have said: "this is too hard, I just can't maintain a diet". But the new me goes: "pfft - just a bad week, move on!".

This week the goal is to try and actually lose some more weight - looking forward to that

guess what my shoes weigh 500grams
guess what else i put on 500grams plus my shoes that is 1kg at weight watchers
good news is i dont have to take my shoes off anymore coz i know to just deduct the 500grams in my head
bad news is i put on 500grams
good news is i didnt try at all last week
so if i try this week i should be pleasantly surprised

we are all experts it is a will power thing and a mind frame thing

i have been down and mixed up since getting uninvited to wedding on the weekend (now though looking forward to hot date with my hubby)
so i think i have just let my mind wander and not been focused on silly snacking and stuff like that

spent a fortune on meat yesterday so no excuse for takeout or anything will be at home cooking up a storm
however i was so weirded out last night for no reason that we had maccas - i had not read 3fc for a while so all the maccas advice was receieved to late

i did not enjoy but i really didnt feel like cooking and feel like i should feed hubby when he gets home..... oh well am slowly learning all this stuff
