I'm going to try boxing circuit and/or the body combat class this week!?

go body combat first! it will prepare you for actual boxing kinda..... actual boxing heaps harder coz of the impact i think
bodycombat is heaps of fun, i havent done a class since rejoining the gym but i used to all the time
bought 3 tops today i cant wear for another month, a little too revealing.... but perhaps motivation to shed another layer of fat..??

Back on track for me now. Yesterday and today I ate 1400 calories and drank a decent amount of water. While I didn't do any 'exercise', I did enough housework and gardening to qualify for that.

Think I've got it sorted out in my head now. I'm not going to weigh in tomorrow, but I will report here every day and stay accountable for what I'm doing every day. If I can manage that for a week I will feel confident that I'm on the right track again, and will resume my weekly weigh-ins.

Lindor where are you, by the way?


Ani

good to see you Ani!

We went to dinner at a friends place last night, and *somehow* I put on 1.1kg. I sneaked a look at the scales yesterday morning, and they said I'd lost 400g, so I must of had more for dinner than I thought.

I love the Les Mills classes. I've been to chicken to go to the combat or attach classes, but I do RPM and Balance. I'm looking into the Step one - is it any good?

Oh dear, I have allowed myself to get way off track. I went to a 41st birthday party on Saturday night and ended up having a really big evening. On Sunday I felt pretty awful so I went to Burger King and had 17 points worth of burger and fries and worst of all, it didn't even taste good

Last night I sat down and re-read my food diary from a few months ago when I was doing really well and it really hit home to me how slack I've become in terms of my diet.

So my goal for this week, is to do week 1 of the weight watchers programme, ie: eat 18 points each day rather than the 25 or so that I've snuck up to. I will also do my exercise but food will be the most important thing for me to focus on.

I'm so glad that I've got 3FC to come to to confess my sins. It makes it easier to pick up and move on.

Yes, confess all and get back on track. It is a weight off your shoulders, isn't it when you've put it all out there?

18 points isn't much! I get 26 per day, which may be why I can stick with it haha.

Currently waiting with baited breath to see if an offer I put in on a property is accepted. Dear god, second mortgage here I may come!

Edit: Yep, accepted. Just got home from signing the contract. Here's my new house!

Hi all. Glad to see we are all doing reasonably well. No major gripes happening anyway lol. Everyone seems to be chipper whether gains or losses or neither.

I'm feeling pretty good. Busy getting ready for my exams next week. Been ok with the eating and water. I think 2 days I went over calories though. A friend I havent seen in 6 mths drove 5 hrs this weekend and we went out for a few hours and drinks. But it was worth it.

Not going to weigh in this week. George is visiting with a vengance and I know it won't be good. hehe. Will weigh in next week though I promise.
Gotta fly

PS yes Lindor where are you?

Hi all,

I am a newbie here and Kylie found me in the introduction section - thank you very much for pointing me in this direction. Also nice to see kg rather than pounds as I am still stuggling with the conversion.

For a bit of background, I am from Brissie and I am so tired of being twice the woman I should be. Done every diet out and had success and failures but all have resulted in the weight comming back on. So I am trying something new.

With all the info I have gathered over the years for nutrition and healthy eating and a treadmill strategically placed in front of the TV in the lounge room (my icon to fitness), I have been for the past 2 weeks eating well everyday and doing a minimum of 30 minutes walking.

I already feel so much better and I have lost 4.5kg. I have a lot to lose (about 50kg) so it will be a long road. What I don't have as I am not on a specific program is the support you get a meetings and consultations and such so that is why I have found this great site.

It sounds like you ladies are really supportive of one another and I hope that I can be a part of that too.

Hope to meet you all soon

Welcome Jayley! The ladies here are awesome, you'll find great support here

Jayley welcome to Aussie Chicks - it's great that you've found us!

We all understand what it's like to try/fail/try/fail and to end up frustrated. I began my latest weight loss journey 14 months ago, and have lost around 20kg in that time. The way I do it is to set small goals for myself (5kg at a time), and work on that.

I don't believe in diets, fads etc - I try to eat three healthy meals a day and count my calories. When I'm behaving I drink heaps of water, and walk for an hour every day.

You can talk to the girls here about anything - no matter what it is you'll find that at least one of us can relate to what's going on for you.

Gen I had a squizz at your new house - very nice!

I've been good again today: 1400 calories and 2 litres of water. Didn't exercise, but I've walked a fair bit in the course of the day.


Ani

I am still lurking, just reading through the posts.
Some how lost myself in Sydney, and never got back on track.
Will weigh in today and post later.

Welcome to our group Jayley. It's an awesome place to come for support and I hope it will help you as much as it helps me.

Well, I bit the bullet and weighed in last night and have gained 1.3kg. Not surprising at all if I'm honest with myself.

Ate 18 1/2 points yesterday and did half an hour of weights followed by a one hour aerobics class and I felt great after that.

Hey Gen, your new house looks lovely! Congratulations

Welcome Jayley. These peeps are great for support. We all share our joys and our trials.

Hey Gen love the house!

Von

Hi Ladies,

Thanks very much for your for welcoming me. I am having a few issues at work at the moment. I have not been telling people that I am trying to lose weight but there is a walking group with some of the girls and I have joined up with them. The problem is that the whole time we are walking they are giving advice about what to eat and what not to eat and I am feeling like I am their pet project. I know they mean well and are trying to help but I am finding it a little patronising.

On the other hand it is good to be a part of the walking group as it forces me go out and exercise a lunch time and they are great people. Any ideas about how to take this "advice" graciously without feeling like the charity case?
