Well yesterday afternoon I was feeling a bit seedy so didn't go to the gym. Unfortunately I went over my points allowance by 5 points too so that's not too good.

On the positive side though, the foods I ate over my limit were water crackers with hummus, rice crackers and a mini pinky bar so nothing too bad.

Back on track today. No gym tonight as I'm catching up with friends after work so the goal for today is to stick to my points.


:twirly:

Kel I'm the kind of person who uses the scale to keep myself accountable - and I'm reasonably convinced that I'm going to aim for 67kg. I definitely know that I am not happy to stop now because I can still see at least 5kg on my body that I don't want to have there.

My aim for October is to get below 73kg, and to walk at least 150km. The other thing I have started doing is really paying attention to the food I eat. I downloaded the Calorie King Food and Nutrition Manager the other day - and have been really surprised by the amount of fat/sodium in some of the foods I eat.

It's absolutely true for me that the last 5-7kg is the hardest to lose! But lose it I WILL!!!

weigh in day im down to 115.1 so another loss of 600grams this week .. :)

Thats what my body likes to give up.. it can keep on coming :) lol

I got my phone call yesterday my wii was in.. yippee i was so excited i dropped the clothes i was putting away and went and got it .. ran past target on the way home and got my wiifit.. too .. woohoo.. i tell you it had me sweating like a little piggy.. and i just coulkdnt leave it alone.. i did . 75 minutes on it.. even thought i had alkready done , 20 minutes on the elliptical 120 minutes walking and 40 minutes taebo


Ani it must be a bit empty feeling like you havent got to work on yourself much longer and giving up an addiction... losing weight is and addiction just like the food that got us like this in the first place.. its a rush.. and when its all done what do we have to replace it with... not food again.. no way ... exercise maybe... ?? maybe you could work on toning up rather then losing weight?? ok im a good weight now lets see some definanition on this body.. wonder if that would help reduce some of the skin too??

Kel you know what you gotta do.. and your doing fine.. dont be so hard on yourself on step at a time.. :)

Julia do you have black swan dips there??? there skinny hommus is to die for and pretty good on calories too.. well worth a try ..

anyway busy day today got a bunch of kids coming over... with there mums.. need a clean house... gotta go.. lol .. have a great on plan day every one

Don't worry Ani, no matter what goal you set, if you're anything like me, it's not something you'll "stop" doing once you get there. It's going to be a lifelong thing of maintaining your new habits and lifestyle and being a watchdog for the evil forces of fatness!

Wow Amy thats amazing. All that exercise is helping yr muscles so dnt fret to much about the scales when you see visual results like that.

My friend has a wii fit and she goes nuts on it lol. And apparently if you dnt go on for a few days as YOU (log in as a guest) it gets up you lol.

everyone is talking about the wii fit, EVERYONE..... and i dont even have a tv... so no wii fit for me

tomorrow i have to have red rooster and then hogsbreath so i will see how good i am at those two things... should be ok

ani - do it- change your ticker 67kg go for it!!!!!!!! you can so get there
vonni do you have facebook?

Naa don't have facebok. Have Bebo (URL on my signature now) lol prob a teenage thing but my daughter created it for me so every now n then i get on to c what all the kids r doin these days (I SPY lol). I've been told to face book tho so will go have a look see.

i checked out your bebo - so cool to see photos of ebony and your other daughter, what is stevie short for??? your kids look so much fun, you know they dont look like boring dorky kids....... love the pic of you and your man at draculas
and yes facebook is better than the rest of them but can be addictive but i am over everything at the moment

i have just had a fight with a friend i've had for 12 years (highschool buddy) he has said jem cant go to his wedding, i wanted her to go to wedding but definately not reception but he has said NO to all people under 18.... i think he will regret it as that means his own half sisters and brothers are not going but he is worried a child will make a noise at an important part of the ceremony - so now i dont feel like going to either
but i am a sook

I am going to join Calorie King US. I need to start tracking my intake.

OK guys. For all us chocoholics out here I have done some research into the total cvalories for a yummy homemade choc slice. So if you make it then divide the total by however many slices you cut it into you can control intake. Unlike if u just make it and eat it. I cut mine into about 50 x 1 inch pieces.

175g butter = 1262cal
3/4 cup caster sugar = 773cal
2 beaten eggs = 151cal
2 tsp van essence (negligable)
2 x 250pkts choc tiny eddy bikkies = 2245cal
tablespoon desiccated coconut (for top) = 66cal

Melt butter with caster sugar slow till thick and creamy
let cool, and while doing so, crush the bikkies in whizzer till fine (i like fine)
beat egg with van essence and add to butter mixutre after it has cooled
Add liquid to bikkies.
Press into a lined slice tin and put in fridge till set then sprinkle coconut over
It's best left till next day to serve.

I have one slice and my slices end up 89.9cal a piece. Thats enough for me as its very chocolatey.
Whi

Next time I make it I will put in peppermint essence ymmmm..

I've just spent five hours working in the garden, and I feel SO much better. I whipper snipped the front lawn - and then my whipper snipper started to blow blue smoke. Never a good thing! I only bought it at Bunnings about four months ago - so it will be going back for a refund!

Anyway I discovered, purely by accident, an old Flymo in the back shed - what an awesome little toy - and much better for the lawn than a whipper snipper. So the lawn looks great, I've filled my compost bin with weeds, and fertilised my plants.

I've got tiny little tomatoes on my plant already - woo hoo!!!

Next weekend I am going to plant capsicum, passionfruit, english spinach, spring onion, cos lettuce and a roma tomato.

Kel I think I'll wait until the end of spring before I decide whether to change my ticker - as tempting as it is now :D. I'm hoping to be around, or under 72kg by the end of next month - and that will give me a better idea of where I am at.

Vonni that chocolate slice sounds really yummy. Not sure I could stop at one though - and there's nobody else here to eat it for me.

This week I'm working 12.30 - 9pm all week, so it should be reasonably easy to stick to my eating goals.

At least that's the plan…

:carrot: 75.8 :carrot: thats 800gm lost in 2 weeks. yayyyy. finally :D:D:D

oops thats 700gm :o
