Vonni, I discovered a blank page at that link?

I weighed in this morning...and I did it with my eyes open! Good news is I am under 90kg still! Bad news (although expected, so not too disappointed) I did gain. I am sitting on 89.9kg! Yuck!

Kel, I am not so much scared of weighing in...I just hate that I have let the numbers on the scales control me too much!! I fully expected a gain today, that did not scare me, it was the number that the gain could have taken me to that scared me!

But I am feeling motivated! And I am feeling very determinded that I want to get as far away from that 90kg as possible!! Hopefully in the right direction too!

Vonni, don't push yourself to fit into those clothes! Four weeks realistically, will only amount to about a 2kg loss! As we all have learned, if we push ourselves too hard it only leads to disappointment and we all know where disappointment takes us! But I do feel for you...I am sick of the disappointment I feel when I pull on tight clothes too!

Ok, gotta get to work! Good luck to all that weigh-in today!


PS. Just read your post Julia! All that alcohol and no FWB?? Did you get ripped off?

Seriously, I don't think one splurge is going to affect your weight loss too much

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.


another kilo up and not very happy about the gains in the past couple of months. When I started in Feb I lost 10kilos and have put back on 5. I am now going to see those scales go DOWN on a consistent basis!

Just saw yr post Lindor. I HAVE to fit into them. Its around the TUM it's to tight and they are brand new and too expensive to buy any more. AND when I tried on the next size up they were really baggy around the armpits and chest. Grrrr. Hmm might have done something wrong with link. I'll check it when I get home fom work. I found it in the new super food ideas mag.
Von

I have no sane explanation for this - but I dropped 0.7kg this week, and weighed in at 84.8kg. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about it… just don't know why (unless it was all the domestics I did on the weekend)!

Lindor I think it's great that you're still below 90kg and never going to go back 'up there'. And I feel confident that you'll have a good result next week.

Hey Vonni, what's going on? Is something stopping you from believing that you can do this - or are you as busy as you sound, and not able to pay enough attention to your own needs? What can we do to support you?

My plan for this week is to stay below 85kg (well I'm thinking in pounds at the moment, so my intention is to aim for 185lb over the next week or so).


Ani

Ani - you're under 85 - well done!!!!!!!!!!

I got to run to work, but I weighed in at 91.5, so 900g lost. Pretty good, since I was sick, didn't track cals and only went to the gym once. I did walk every day.

Well done you guys that's great losses for both of you

for everyone that lost - holy dooly you guys rock, loving the pressure personally!!!! i want to lose weight too seems like the cool thing to do!

Vonni - you almost sound too busy NOT to lose weight?? what is going on??? you so so can do it! you sound like you have so much on you have to be organised so maybe just schedule in the weightloss too? I am realising i am going to have to lose a couple more kilos than i thought to be able to fit in to the clothes I want to because of shape change but will deal with that when I am closer to goal.

okey dokey all you nurses and nurses to be who can tell me more about hand, foot, mouth virus??? my baby has it, she has spots everywhere and the gross nappies are daily and yesterday was the first day she has kept breast milk down - a spew free day! now my hubby home sick but we thought just cough and headache and faintness but he spewed his brekky up!!! it is all gross

i dont know how i am not sick with all this sickness everywhere

but coz my world is sick (i only had bad sniffles and headache and bit of a cough) we have been eating crap, KFC last night maccas for brekky..... toasted sangas not too bad BUT

as benji home to "look after" jemima i am going to go to the gym tonight and do body step followed by body pump, i am going to then die tomorrow!! but as i am not allowed out of house with highly contagious baby i dont see why not!!!

hope benji is going to be well enough to look after himself and the baby........

Ani - it so cool you are under 85kg, if i were you i'd forget about the pounds and put the pressure on to stay under and Lindor you should do the same for staying under 90kg i a bit scared that after sickness food i am going to get back to 90 this week.... but determined to fix it up.... no maccas tomorrow!

julia - dont get cocky now!! i do that all the time, just as i get to a "goal weight" or i think i know what i am doing i get cocky and stuff up and ruin all the good work i have done..... but i second someone elses comment all that booze and no FWB story??? hehehe

have a nice Monday everyone I going back to play nurse!

Kel. Please stay away from the nursing home until you are all 100% well. The oldies are more susceptible to catching anything and everything.

Yes I am prob to busy to schedule it in. But I am going to really try this week. Had trouble logging onto calorie king but FINALLY got on to log my brekky this morning. Now I can't get back on it again. grrrrr. Peeving me.

But anyhow I will tell you guys. Today I have had
1 weetbix with 75ml light milk and a sugar. 800ml of water (don't keel over, I put lemon wedges in it... thanks whoever told me to do that way back when) 2 coffees, a small fling for lunch. Having tea a casserole.

Oh dear!

I am in trouble!

This is not good news!

I am not sure how I am going to cope!

I have some very tough times ahead...I just know it!



I have just discovered they have opened and Eagle Boys in town!!!!!



Ok, I can deal with this! I am not a huge fan of pizza, I only go for them occasionally! Yes, there will be a novelty aspect to this new outlet, but I can resist it...can't I?



Well done Ani and Gen on your losses! That is great!

Kel, it is tough to concentrate on weight loss when something disrupts your life, I think most of us know that now, and that includes a sick baby! Hang in there, and stay positive, you will come 'round 'right again in no time!

Keep up the good work people!!

Now, dinner...where are my car keys!

Just kidding!!

Lindor: pizza BAD!!

Kel: http://www.health.vic.gov.au/ideas/b...hand_foot_info

Vonni: Sounds like you did well today - keep it up!

Kel, I know what you mean about getting cocky - as soon as I think everything is okay, I stuff it up hehe.

PIZZA----
If you must -
thin crust
Say please -
to less Cheese
Say of course
to minimal sauce
go for chicken
it's finger licken.

Hey Hey

Don't worry, there's no way that I'm going to get cocky. Saturday night was just a small blow out which I feel that I need every now and then in order that I don't feel totally deprived. The key is getting straight back into it the next day.

Last night after work I went for a 55 minute walk which involved walking up a very very steep hill. Man was I huffin and puffin when I got to the top!

It's pouring with rain at the moment but the forecast said it should clear in the afternoon. Fingers crossed for fine weather later in the day so I can go walking again.

It's interesting working in another office, yesterday I made a very interesting observation ...... all the ladies in this office are on the large side and they all talk a lot about exercise/diets. Yesterday, 2 of them ordered pizza for lunch and they tried to get me to have some. You know the kind of thing - go on, one slice won't hurt. Then in the afternoon the other lady went to the bakery and got pain au choc and fudge brownies and again they kept asking if I wanted some. This was all after I'd told them that I'm on a diet plan and that it's going really well.

Very interesting how some people try to sabotage you for whatever reason

How often do you girls eat takeaway? And why?

I think it's one of the big cons of the last 30 years, convincing us that 'convenient' food is the way to go. Just for fun, go to the websites of the various (mostly corporate American) fast food websites, and read the nutrition value/calories in the meals you 'conveniently' buy.

I did that last year some time, and now I'd be lucky if I had takeaway once in six months.

I've picked up some kind of lurgy that could turn itself into a chest infection. Delightful!

I ate too much yesterday - don't know why either. But today I am going to start writing everything down and sticking to my plan again. I want to try and stay under 85kg now that I've got here, and the only way to do that is to watch what I eat/drink/do!

Hope everyone else has a good week - and I hope you say NO more often to that evil takeaway rubbish

I rarely eat takeaway as in McD's, KFC etc. Can't even remember the last time. I find them all very salty and I'm not a fan of the salty taste. Last time I got McD's fries I couldn't eat them, they were so salty. Ick. The only convenience foods I eat really are lean cuisine type dinners for work, and WW desserts for that chocolate taste without the calories!

Julia, I found the same. But "just one slice" DOES hurt when they do it all the time haha. I am much better when I avoid stuff altogether instead of trying to ration it.

I'm hoping today's glimpse on the scales was some sort of mistake - it's 2kg up from Sunday's weigh in and I've been good-ish!

Did my weights yesterday morning, then worked in the evening - my achilles is killing me, forgot how much walking and standing nurses do! - then took dogs for a walk after work.

Ani, I've had the same lurgy, went straightaway and got some Rulide (they always try to give you Ceclor or Keflex and they don't bloody help at all!) and I'm almost better. Will still take the second pack of antibiotics because I've still got the chesty cough. My parents have been sick over a month, still coughing and spluttering, so don't muck around.

Hello……….Its me, Barb.

I’ve been keeping up with every ones ups and downs and I’m really happy to see that most of the time it’s been downs! I’ve also got to say I’m so glad that I have a boring life!

I’ve wanted to post for such a long time but I feel really ashamed of myself. Last year I lost 4kg whilst visiting with you and have managed to gain it all back PLUS! I’ve given up going to the gym and I really lost sight of why I want this. In all honesty I was embarrassed even though I knew none of you will judge me.

So, last week I decided to try taking this journey again. I’ve been eating well and going for walks when I can (a little bit’s better than none at all!) DH is joining me this time round so that helps make it a WHOLE lot easier to stick to. My start weight was 98.2 last Monday and this morning was 96.6, so far so good! I’m hoping for a 500g loss each week, not out of reach and definitely a realistic goal. My first goal is to reach 95kg even, then 5kg at a time, no time limits. Easy right?!!!

Anyway, I'll talk to you all again real soon.
