I dropped 0.6kg this week :carrot:, and weighed in at 75.3kg. Can't wait to get below 75!

Amy where are you?

GO ANI!!!

:carrot: :cb: :carrot: :cb:

Awesome work mate :D

Helloooooo .......

Where is everyone?

I had a perfect day yesterday, a great way to get back on track. My food choices were really good and I stuck to my points. Gym session was really good and I feel so good for getting back on the horse.

I'm up 600g which is not bad at all considering how bad my last week was.

My main goal for the forseeable future is to keep on track and stop having bad weeks. Looking back over my journal, I've been hovering at the same sort of weight for a couple of months now, going up and down, up and down. If I stop messing around and get focussed, there's no reason I can't get below the 80kg mark.

Goals for today: 1) Stick to my points. 2) Go to the gym after work and do a minimum of 40 minutes cardio. 3) Write a shopping list and think of some yummy, healthy new things to eat.

Wish me luck, I'll try and post a photo taken at the concert I went to in the weekend ...

:twirly:

I just looked out the window and it's snowing again. Pretty!

I love snow - except for the cold that comes with it. And you look very rugged up in that photo :D.

Don't beat yourself up over not losing weight - give yourself a big pat on the back for maintaining, because that's hard to do. If you persist, something will click in your head and the weight will start coming off again.

I've got my sights set on breaking 75kg this week, and feel pretty determined to do it. I don't normally set myself up to 'reach a number', but I decided to throw myself a challenge this week and see if I can do it.

I had a good day yesterday and reached all my goals, and I'm going to do it again today.

And yes, where is everyone?

I'm here.

I know I shouldn't hide when I have gained..... Yes GAINED.

ARRRRRRRR. But it is my own fault. I havent even been trying. It's just in the to hard basket at the moment with everything going on.

And I can't plan meals cause I never know until an hour before tea if Mick is gonna be here for tea or not, so I never know how much to cook. I have taken to going to bed early and reading. Problem is I eat a bowl of chips or a chocolate whilst doing so.

I will NOT whinge I am FAT. Yes FAT!!! Because I only have permission to whinge when I am fat and doing something about it and it won't shift. It's being a bit hypocrytical (is that how ya spell it??) If I whinge I am FAT and keep eating the crap. It's my fault. No-one elses. I am the one who puts the chips in the bowl. I am the one who buys them. I am the one who reaches in my hand.

I did say this week I wasn't really altering anything. I am just keeping a food diary. I used to do calorie king really religiously but it's a pain in the rear to even try and get on the computer lately with my son and his MSN grrrr. Not worth the drama. And by the time he goes to bed I am to tired.

On a brighter note....... The tablets seem to be doing ok with the mood swings :D

Vonni

BTW

congrats Ani

:carrot: :carrot:

Good to see you back Vonni. You can join me in getting back on track having gained last week too.

Food was good yesterday and I did go to the gym after work and did 40 minutes of walking and cycling.

Today I woke up with the start of a cold :( I'm lucky not to have gotten it before as everyone at my work has had it but I am starting to feel pretty rotten.

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


:twirly:

C'mon Vonni - don't you let me catch up to you!

Now what's going on? Sounds to me like your eating is a symptom of other stuff going on in your life. Are you feeling like other people are controlling your life? Are you punishing yourself for something?

And what can we do to help you :hug:?

Yay Julia! It's great to see you on plan. I'm with you this week - having another pretty good week, and reaching my goals every day.

Today the plan is the same: eat no more than 1500 calories and drink 2L of water.

I've found a swimming partner - one of the women from work is going to start swimming with me next month.

hey guys sorry i have been missing i have just been busy.. and im pretty pleased with myself atm.. im at day number 21 on plan.. which means i have worked out everyday and behaved with my food.. and....


im now at the lowest weight i have been since i had Leah .. :) 116.9 kilos. and i have tom.. atm.. :) lol . yippeee .. i got to 118 when she was about 18 months.. and gave up again.. until november last year where i was 135.. so i have lost 18.1 kilos since then.. :)

I have been busy workoing my butt off everyday.. and not spening any time on line sitting on my butt on the net.. lol ;) which i think is a good thing.. and since im tired at night im getting in bed and watching the olympics.. at 730 every night.. so not going on the net then either..

I have had a great week .. i was brave enough to get my swimmers on in public and went for a swim down at the local pool.. ( 2 hours of laps ) last thursday .. went back with the kids for another 2.5 hours saturday and have walked every single day this week becuase the sun has been out. I have walked 32 kms this month(burned 10,332 cals so far with my workouts this months) so far as well as all the other things i do like my elliptical and aerobics.. im tracking my workouts on www.mapmywalk.com which im finding fabulous.. last month i walked a whopping 112km.. (burned 19,256 calories with my workouts) no wonder im losing weight now.. :)


Ani i like your goal for the week .. 74 here you come.. did you meet up with kel at all??

Vonni ....... no more chips or chocolate... dont buy it the kids dont need them either..

Julia im glad your getting back on track.. great picture i love the scenary that is special.. glad your getting your mojo back..

Kylie congrats on the job

Gen im glad 106 was a precurse weight

Hey all!

Enjoying my first week at work. Not eating any vegies, and smoking too much (yes, we can thank the break up for the smoking).

I'm drinking about 5-6 litres of weak cordial every day. I have a big cup, and drink one when I get up, one when I get home and one later in the evening. The little bit of flavour helps a lot.

Loving my red lentil soup at the moment. Slow cook red lentils in chicken stock. Sautee onions, garlic, add to lentils and cook a bit longer.

I added some salt and pepper, and lemon juice. Still a bit bland, but tasty enough!

Love you all, congrats on the losses, and chin up for those who didn't.

guess who is back?

HEHEHEHE

MEMMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEEME!!!!!!!!

sick as a frekin dog though!!! not cool, ani are you sick?? seemed everyone was sick in perth! all my friends kids and jemima got so crook and i am not really getting better that much quickly.... i guess maybe if i stopped i might but too much to do too little time
the next day i have off is maybe next friday other than that something on everyday

weight loss??
whats that???????? food - dont really care about that at the moment my body doesnt know what is going on, i am so fluey that everything tastes the same and not really hungry but then stick a chook and roast veges in front of me and i eat eat eat (thank you mother in law that heard i was sick and made us all dinner last night sent it over on a silver platter (for real))

anyway i am too sick to do anything hardcore - am a little disappointed for so many reasons - but think i thought that when i got back from perth the house would be sorted
note to self
husband is mechanic not a cleaning fairy
another note to self
was only away five days
jemima screamed and was unsettled alot coz she missed her daddy and she also slept alot coz of the virus she has picked up so that made my five days seem like heaps heaps heaps longer
so when i got home and the house was EXACTLY the same i was a little disapointed - basically meantally i NEEEED to get my house sorted before i can FOCUS on anything else
i forgot my medication when i went to perth and am kinda glad coz i went ok without it - and since i am sick i have stayed off it coz i cant take cold and flu tablets while on it - but last couple of days i have reaalised i DO need it so will try and get better quickly then hop on it
it is supposed to be TOM at the moment, i was due on monday so i am all confused and frustrated i KNOW that since it is only going to be second time is 27 months that it will be irregular but i am waiting so i can get on the pill, and so i am obviously wondering/ hoping i am pregnant but 3 preg tests have said negative (yes i know 3 in 4 days pretty desperate) - i will WAIT until next week and try again
then when i am finally not sick and not pregnant i will go on the pill and HOPE HOPE HOPE that it does not make me keep weight on and exciting stuff like that



kylie - you rock - getting a job - admitting you need to start again with the basics - how is work going??? do you love it???

ani - bummer about not meeting up with you last week - we were all sick as a dog and when i met my aunty she ended up cancelling her whole day to show me around perth (we only got to the zoo and kings park) (i will be back to go shopping) so next time definately!!
