  • Week one I'm in for cutting down on coffee, and getting earlier nights. shouldnt be to hard as I start at the hospital for a 4 week stint as of tomorrow.

    Vonni
  • I weighed in at 73.3kg this morning - a drop of 1.1kg and I added another 53km to my journey across Australia.

    Hey Barb - woo hoo! I'm really happy that you got such a great result.
  • WOW Ani congratulationsYou're on fire . Thats awesome. You must be so thrilled. I am!!

    Well guys my scales havent moved today, so much for 500 gm in 2 weeks..... Hopefully in these next 4 weeks I am going to lose SOMETHING with all the walking and stuff. Going to wear my pedometer to. Not today, have to clear it with our facilitator first.

    It should be a good time to get in habit of eating at proper times and being in that environment the right foods to. Only they DO have a snack machine but I will just not take any coin

    Gotta run. Have to start in a tic.

    Vonni
    PS prob won't get on every day now. But will check in soon xxx
  • PSS
    Barb way to go
  • woohoo well done Barb 1.7 is fabulous.. i bet it feels great to be back on the wagon again...


    and woohhhoo Ani well done on your 1.1 .. that is fantastic..
  • One more day to work and then two days OFF! Even better - it's pay day Thursday so I can get some decent food in the house.

    I'm determined to stay on plan today, as much as possible, because I want to get as close to 72kg by the end of November as I can - and the only way to achieve that is to make good decisions every single day!
  • Today I'm on , it's time to !

    Ani - you are going to get past 72 before the end of november i can feel it!

    maybe i can get down to 91.4kg..... maybe

    personal question for everyone
    what do you do about shaffige?? i dont know how to spell it but since i've been bigger in this stupid sweaty weather my legs rub together and i have big red marks and it hurts alot....???
  • Zinc and castor oil cream Kel, but it does make yr legs stick. I cnt really wear skirts for the same reason so when at home wear some shorts that aren't hot. Even jeans. Any nappy rash cream can also help but I find the Z and C the best for me.

    Happy birthday Kylie..... Amy where DO you find these things? lol.

    I've had a good 2 days so far att he hospital. Gave IM injections first day for the first time. And I thought i'd be scared but was great. yesterday I went to theatre. Followed day surgery patients right through from admitting to going into theatre in my lovely scrubs lol then to discharging.

    Today I am going to hydrotherapy so guess what.... I had to buy a pair of swimmers (blerk) and I gotta go now and shave my legs.

    CYA

  • Happy 21st Kylie!!!

    Von, I love my scrubs - I wear jeans to work and change into scrubs every day. When I'm working as a nurse I wear a lab coat because I need the pockets for all my crap that I have to carry.

    Don't do what I did when I started giving IM injections - forgot to change off the drawing up (looong) needle and gave an old lady a butt shot.. hit the bone! Poor old dear. Never did it again though!
  • Hydro today. Man what an experience. I have learnt........ that I don't have very good balance on my right leg, that I am weaker in my left arm than my right. We had many kinds of people... disability, stroke, obese, elderly etc..... was great fun but I am soooo tired. And one of my teachers are coming to dinner tonight. She is also our facilitator this week.

    Ouch for hitting the bone. We were made deliberately hit bone in our lamb shanks we practiced on so we know the feeling. grates doesnt it... can't imagine the ouch for the client / patient. lol

    Gotta run get chook.

    cya
  • And yeah Gen. Scrubs are comfy as. I thought they looked uncomfortable but was pleasantly suprised
  • Sorry I missed your birthday Kylie, I hope it was a great one!

    I'm doing well with the new lifestyle at the moment, hoping to record another loss this week. (did you all notice that I never used the "D" word!) My first goal is to be under 100, even if its 99.9 I'll be happy with that.

    Gotta run. busy busy busy.

    Barb
  • barb that is an awesome attitude, i think i might copy you
    new lifestyle coming up
    no more living week to week on a diet, trying to cheat towards weigh in days etc

    UP 600grams in 2 weeks - officially weighed in to hear that
    woohoo NOT

    zinc and castor oil cream, i'll have a looksy, i was hoping there was a way to still wear skirts and prevent it, it has never been so bad, but i have never been so fat before.....

    lifestyle change is coming up.
    i am going to STEP up and take on the challenge of being a wife and a mother like I WANT TO BE and STOP listening to EVERYONE else and trying to please everyone else
    it is MY life, MY baby, MY husband, and the way THEY see me is more important to ME than what anyone else thinks
    so there

    (i have had advice from a friend if you could not tell.....)
