I was good yesterday and even though I'd walked to work in the morning, I went for another 40 minute walk after work and then had lovely salad for dinner.
After gaining 600g last week I'm determined to have a loss on Monday!
I went to the gym today, only for about 30 minutes, but I went. 10 min each on treadmill, bike and elliptical. I don't feel very driven when I'm left to my own devices, so I think I'll stick to classes.
I am going to weigh in tomorrow, for the first time in ages.
Turned over another new leaf as well. 2L water + breakfast daily, and NO JUNK. We'll see how we go!

PS I just wrote up a simple little excel sheet for tracking my planned vs actual meals for the week. It's also got tallies for grains/fruit/veg etc per day, so it's a good way to keep track. I can't see a way to attach it here, but meh, if you want a look I can email it to you.
Location: You'll never, never know, if you never, never go!!

Evening all!
Just a quicky to say hi! And prove that I am still alive!
Kylie well done on making it to the gym! Every bit counts!
Gen! Excellent on the loss! Over 1kg huh? Hmmmm?
Is it quiet here because we all had a good weekend? Mine was pretty boring but peaceful, watched a couple of DVD's and read a little!
I have been good with my food intake, ok with my water and absolutely pathetic with my exercise!!! Ho hum!
But I still feel motivated! I am away for work all this week which kinda bothers me as my choice of meals will be from a room service menu! But I have my head set to BE GOOD! I guess I'll see how strong my head is as the week progresses
I'll pop in briefly in the morning to report on my weigh-in. I am quietly confident on a good result this week.

SAME!!
Though saturday I had a half a butterscotch macadamia muffin at work and yesterday I had a daggy dog and a turkish delight ice cream bar at lunch. I am sick sick sick the past few days and coughing so much that I am to scared to even breathe. I eat like mad when I am sick but I am determined to stick it out.
Weighed myself this morning and have lost a kilo . So am feeling quite please with myself. I did have a sneak peak y/day though and this morn was 300gm higher than then. I must be the type that even has to only LOOK at crap food to pile weight on.
I've been using calorie king religiously and keeping within 1200 calories. Though it says 1130. Only one day I went over it. How cool is this hehehe
Yay Vonni! Good job you! I remember you mentioned that you've been swapping the mid morning KitKat - well done on sticking to your limit!
I'm at 93.8kg this morning! I'm pretty sure that's only -900g, but every bit counts haha. Am I sensing a theme?
Today is scheduled to be great! bf has just come home from night shift, and we're going for coffee in the city I'm also gonna get on top of uni stuff today, and the gym is planned for tonight.
Would someome PLEASE come and KICK MY BUTT ! I have no idea whats the matter with me. I start the week off full of hope and good intentions and it ends with disappointment. I manage to get through the first few days really well and by Thursday or Friday I've completely lost the plot. I know why I want to lose weight, I know how to lose weight, I just can't make myself do it!
This is doing my head in !
Lindor, Kylie, Vonni and Gen. Well done on your losses for the past week.
I'm not going to post my loss/gain till Wednesday, need to give my body a day or two to recover from the abuse I've given it!
I'm here … well at least hanging onto the edge of the wagon
It has been a strange few weeks for me, and I can't really explain why. It's hard to hang on to the determination and patience month after month after month – and to know that even after more than a year I still have such a loooooong way to go.
But today has been good. I walked for an hour, have drunk 2.6L of water, and am eating really well. I can feel the beginning of a new determination - just a tingle, but at least it's there.
I'm avoiding the scales because I KNOW I have gained weight (and at least a few kg by the feel of my jeans), but I promise to weigh in next Monday and get right back into a plan.
It's great to see everyone so determined and achieving such inspiring results.
Barb, what's going on? Did you have a binge? Don't give up… we're all here through the good, the bad and the ugly
I know how you feel Barb and Ani - sometimes it just seems bloody unfair that we have to work so hard at something that some people just never have to think of. But then I remember that some people can't spell, whereas I don't have to think about that, it's automatic to me.
So if this is my battle, I suppose it could have been worse.
The main turning point I've found is BELIEVING that I am worth looking after, and WORTH being a healthy weight, and trying not to sabotage myself along the way. It peeves me off to think I've been doing this 11 months and only lost 12kg net (+ gain - loss), after such hard training etc.
But I guess I've lost 12kg and kept it off almost a year. I've quit smoking, gained exercising, and turned my lifestyle around. I still have to fight not to binge eat when I get the urge, but I stay up and make my lunch for work the night before. In short - or long! - I'm getting there, slowly.
I'm just choosing to go with the sentiment that slower off means longer off for the kilos!
It's so damn hard sometimes, isn't it? It took me ages to get back into the swing of things. So far, the thing that is working for me is a promise. I'm usually pretty steadfast when it comes to keeping my word, so I promised that I would drink 2l water every day, eat no junk, and eat breakfast every day. So far, the only thing that has kept me honest is that promise.
Anyway, I guess I'm trying to say that it might work for you?
Congrats to everyone that lost this week. (so happy to include myself!)
Ani, this isn't like you! Is there something bothering you? I know your new flatty is going well, so what's up?
Congratulations to everyone who has lost this week I weighed in yesterday and have lost 300g.
Was feeling pretty down about having such a small loss so I had a close look at my measurements and that cheered me up. Since I started this, I've lost 7 cm from my chest, 14 from my waist and 13 from my hips. I got out the tape measure and held it at my old measurements and that really showed me how far I've come.
I had a great workout yesterday. Was reading my training journal and realised that I haven't done any running for a few weeks and I think that when i do run a lot, I tend to lose more weight so yesterday I did 40 minutes of interval training.
I'm feeling quite out of sorts at the moment. Not depressed or anything, just not myself and I don't like it. Here's hoping that it passes soon.
Just a quicky question. On calorie king i use the 2 slices of bread thing, but I don't eat the crust. does anyone klnow the average calorie content? I have measured the size of all crusts put together and it is almost a whole piece of bread size. So today I put one and a half pieces of bread instead of 2. Would that be about right? Or should I jsut put down 2 as usual and count the calories?
Get back on that horse
