Aussie Chicks 2009 (2)
 

okey pokey
the never ending journey continues!!!!!!!!

now i will post a link to this in the other one and we are cooking with gas

weigh in tomorrow
have been strategically eating today - lunch was homemade pizza (dough and everything homemade)
and dinner today soup
bloody ricecakes though always get me!
and i ate a carrot
looking forward to ANY loss tomorrow considering i was sick as a dog this week and did no exercise except for incidental stuff

Got a B (85) on my midterm exam. Boo hiss. Will have to actually study for the final to make sure I end up with an A. Doh.

Been off work for a week with bronchitis - blurk!

Been eating so much crap for weeks now, and it stops here. Now! Today I am going to:

• Eat no more than 1750 calories;
• Drink at least 1.5L of water; and
• Walk 10,000 steps

No excuses. No cheating.

It's 5am in Perth. We are on severe weather alert, gale force winds, thunder, buckets of rain - it's all happening outside right now… and I have to go out in it feeling like THIS!

Thanks for starting the new thread Kel :D

Congrats on your B Gen, surely that's a pretty good mark?!?!

Well, I lost the plot completely last week. Having my period seems to turn me into a ravenous beast. I only went to the gym twice and my diet turned to pot over the weekend.

Back to my food diary today and have got a ham and cheese toastie for lunch, yoghurt and weight watchers muesli bar for morning tea and crackers with cheese for afternoon tea. For dinner I'm cooking mince and rice with veges. Not the most wonderful food choices but it's all I had in stock so it'll have to do.

Tonight I'll go to the gym and do weights hopefully followed by a spin class.


:twirly:

not happy and confused!
i was 104.2kg today that is a gain a bloody huge gain (1.5kg)
i dont get it
last night the soup was gross (DO NOT BUY HOMEBRAND MINESTRONE) jem and i didnt eat it
i had toast and tomato and avocado
damn damn damn i may actually have to start writing down what i eat to see where i went wrong
i am thinking back last week and only had one "bad" meal which i actually allow in my week BUT i guess the lack of exercise and water might have done it
but honestly it is not fair, i could cry, i was on my way to under 100 now i am going to have to watch it that i dont go over 105
this is not not cool

ani - sucks you have been sick, after the week i have had DO NOT WEIGH IN this week, its not worth it, your body like mine i guess has probably been storing the fat or something stupid like that
dont over do it til your body recovered

gen - when is your next exam? good luck, i'd be happy with a B, but my brother is basically a doctor and i know how he felt when he got a B

julia - is it snowing where you live? i would love to live where it snowed but benji HATES the cold.... does your boyfriend know about your weightloss journey?

we are going to sell our house! very exciting, we are now going around doing things we think will make sure we dont lose money on the place, we have seen a couple of places to move to, so we will see what happens... we are looking at 5 acres ANYWHERE hehehe probably south though another 20mins from the city which is going to be "tough" to start with for benji to and from work but he will adapt, the problem is what we can afford... the houses are not mansions and i think benji would like a smick house straight away so i either have to convince him (i dont like talking him into things) that i can make house smick or we will end up selling this place and living with inlaws until we find house he likes, all i want is 5 acres, to look out window and not see houses, shed for benji, fence for dogs, 4 bedrooms and 2nd living area...... i am going to get a cow maybe and definately some chooks, everywhere we have looked at has dams too so we would probably get ducks sigh

not happy about this weight today - will have to GO FOR A WALK today, tomorrow i am going to the city so that is always exhausting with jemima
then i should have heaps of work waiting for me when i get home as my boss has properly quit "normal" job so she is going to be getting busy busy busy woo money for me woo

hey guys im back... my week off resulted in way too much chocolate being eaten in the effort to keep me from being a blubbering mess all week ..

and then me getting absolutly sick of myself.. and deciding enough is enough opnly to have a second helping of breakfast... this morning.. hmmmm ... LMAO .. my willpower is playing hide and seek with me.. and im yet to find it.... mind you its a very very good hider.. it has hidden for many years before....... lol

seriuosly im gonna behave ... and get back together with my plan.

weigh in friday .. after i have behaved for a while.... otherwise im not gonna like it i know.

Ok Kel, first of all try not to get discouraged. I know it's hard but the best thing you can do is to pick yourself up and just keep on keeping on. You can do it!! :hug:

No, it's not snowing where I am, it's just very cold and I hate it! The Boy knows that I go to the gym and try to watch what I eat but I haven't told him that I'm actively trying to lose weight. He thinks I'm perfect just the way I am. Clearly he's delusional but if that's what he thinks then that's fine with me!

Boo Ani, sorry to hear you've been sick. Hope you're on the mend and ready to jump back on that bandwagon with the rest of us.

And Yay Amy, good to see you back as well :D


:twirly:

Oh Kel your new avi is sooooo cute! Is that your daughter? She is so sweet!

Dont sweat the weight gain - hopefully it will come off and take some more with it.

Well . . . I have been eating like a little piggy and using all sorts of excuses . . . but I am kinda out of excuses at the moment. I weighed in this morning and fell off the scales . . . . who puts on 5kg in a week?????????????????????????? Apparently me! Yay! Although . . . . I moved the scales into the lounge room and they showed a 20 KILO difference (lower!) so who the **** knows.

Anyway, instead of it sending me off into a food frenzy I just made myself breakfast and packed a yum lunch and am just going to focus on little healthy changes every day and not expect miracles.

Clearly losing weight at lightening speed DOES NOT WORK FOR ME seeing as it comes back. And clearly staying focussed on the past DOES NOT WORK FOR ME and just distracts me from doing what I need to.

I know what does work and so that is what I will do.

Less talk, more action ;)

Hope everyone is having a good Monday & your bronchitis is at an end Ani.

I hope to check in with some losses . . . is tomorrow asking for too much :D (I will never learn . . . lol Always want the weight off as quick as possible!!!)

Hi all. Kel ducks poop and no matter how much land you have they always manage to poop on yr back patio.

Speaking of poop.. Yesterday and today i got stuck in a mixed ward of infections gastro patients. I swear if i cop it i am going to flipo out seeing as i wasnt meant to be in that ward in the first place only another worker who isnt med endorsed needed me to do them right there n then without waiting for handover so the person actually allocated that ward coupld do it. Ended up because of infection control i had to stay put once i gownd n gloved up n couldnt have contact with other patients. so today i went in cause they wanted the least staff possible to be in contact. yeah great - i'll just bring it home to my family.,

anyhow enough whinging.

i lost 800gm..... :)

scuse typos i am going by the light of monitor

Congrats on the loss Von! :)

oooooooooohhhhhhhhhh julia woo woo woo he loves you just the way you are! dont you hate that!!!!! benji is the same! he is absouloutely NO motivation whatsoever when it comes to my weightloss
my friend's hubby however told HER that he was UNATTRACTED TO HER FAT BUTT! so she lost 26kg for him

vonni - OMIGOSH YOU LOST 800GRAMS are you sure - where did you have the scales?? remember you have done a danni before and lost a heap of weight on those things..... heheheh YOU ROCK

danni - so have you weighed again? which weight are you going with??? and you DID NOT put on 5kg in a week, i have put on that much in two weeks but you can not put it on in one week - impossible

i hate this but if i dont lose weight this week i am going to write everything down..... i didnt want to have to do that

ps -
danni - yes that is my daughter jemima in the avatar thingy - we just got some professional photos done of her here is the other one - she is just too cheeky!

Gosh Kel Jem's gotten so big since I met you guys! She's a really beautiful wee girl :D

Even though we think that our men may be delusional in thinking that we're perfect just as we are I'd much prefer that to some d!ck who says that he's unattracted to my fat butt! I'd lose much more than 26kg ... I'd lose around 80kg of idiot man!

Congrats on your loss Vonni, that's awesome. Stink that they stuck you in such a grotty ward though! I really hope that you and your family can avoid catching any of it.

Danni I doubt that you could have put on 5kg in a week. Sounds like you've got a good plan though and I'm sure that you can get back on track. You're so right, losing weight at lightening speed doesn't work unfortunately. I think that's a lesson that all of us have had to learn at one time or another!

I had a really good night last night. Went to the gym and did weights followed by a spin class. It was a DAMN hard workout and I felt awesome afterwards. Cooked up a huge meal of mince and rice and veggies and that was enough for me and The Boy and for 2 lunches so that's good.

And ........ the only thing I snacked on after dinner was 1 fruit stringy thing. WOO! :carrot:

Plan for today is to eat well and have another good session at the gym.


:twirly:

Danni check the battery in your scales - that can make them read weird. Also make sure you have it on a flat surface, not carpet. Use it at the same place all the time.

B is ok, I just don't want to get a B overall in the subject, as I currently have a perfect 4.0 GPA and I'd like to keep it! (Hi, Little Miss Perfectionist).

I am home, so glad to be back with my babies. They are loving all over me after a weekend apart! They look so much bigger just in the 4 days I was away. Boo hoo, will be time to give em back again soon (1 was underweight so they spayed them and I took em home to fatten up a bit more).

Kel ducks cows and chooks eh??? wow that is sooooo cool .. i hope you find what you are after without over stretching your budget.. :)

Vonni .. Gatro ward ... that is sooo not good.. did they give you that gastro stop stuff that is supposed to stop you from getting sick at least?

JUlia i like the sound of your boy... IM glad things are going well and you havent got the kind where you have to loose 80kilos of idiot man... lmao... <<< loved this comment)

Ani i hope you are feeling better soon. Its such wrotten weather to be sick in .. :( hugs

Gen why cant you keep the fur babies???

Danni .. i hate the scales too.. but they call to me to stand on them... why must they call me...... they are evil... LMAO

as for me.... dont ask.. lmao.. i have no willpower no brain and a big asss.... lol

Kel - Jemima is soooooooooo cute!!!!!!! :)

Julia - a spin class???? YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!

Gen/Amy - I tell you . . . the scales really are evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those evil little boxes will not control my life. I seriously need to get a new set though, the little back thinggy has fallen off and the batteries are taped in now. That cant be helping. The thing that I thought was odd, even seeing them 20 kg lighter I thought . . . OMG even at minus 20 I WILL STILL BE FAT!!!!!!!!

Ugh.

But the only way to make no progress is to stop trying, so I will kwitmy*****in' and keep going.

Its 30 June! Happy New Financial Year soon!!!

:D

love is blind julia!!!

vonni - did you get your results yet?

I had an awesome workout again last night, managed to do another spin class which was very hard but I'm glad I did it. Getting sore nether regions though and I really do need to invest in some proper padded cycle shorts!

Tonight I need to do weights and some form of cardio.

Food was pretty good yesterday. The Boy and I treated ourselves to a couple of glasses of bubbles and snacks of salted pretzels in the evening.

Tonight I will weigh myself so wish me luck!


:twirly:

spin class is insane
can i ask what the boy's name is?
GOOOD luck with weigh in!!!!!

I can only weigh in first thing in the morn completely nekkid!!!!!! lol I am down 2.83kg out of the mysterious 5 that appeared in a week. I am still PMSy and still feel bloated and like I have had to many salty foods (not more than usual) so hopefully if I zip my lip I will get some more of the 5 OFF before the end of the week. But anything less than the ghastly number I saw the other morning at the end of the week will be a good result!!!!

Must keep reminding myself . . . my goal is to weigh less at the end of every week . . . no rockstar results necessary.

Hope everyone is having a good day! I am surprisingly sane given I am doing the year end accounts . . .

ok loving that

need to exercise need need need
then if i exercise i will not want to undo the awesomeness that was my work out
yep yep
thats a plan

His name is Nigel Kel :D

I must admit, I do tend to be less likely to overeat when I've worked out. I don't know why, but I actually don't get so hungry which is odd.

Hey Ani, where are you hiding? :shrug:

Kel i go to Doxtor tomorrow to discuss whats next.

I rang the other day to get results and she wasnt there but the nurse there looked and said that there weren't any detectable tissue cells in the sample. only blood. so that means i will have to get it all done again grrr.,

It's really pissing me off because its been 6 months almost and if it IS anything nasty its 6 months of treatment i could have had. will post when i have been to doctor tomorrow.

right now i am off to bed. so tired.

and no i didnt get the bug thank god

How annoying Von!! Sorry you have to go through it all again . . .

I had a good day in terms of not overeating and letting a lunch that was unplanned lead me into a night time party on the couch with too much food. So THAT is a good thing! I also did not turn to food when the girl who works for me decided to tell me how much weight I have gained . . . kinda makes me feel pretty OK with the fact that she is not getting a payrise this year actually . . .

I am not sure what people think when they point out stuff like this . . . um, I own a mirror and I also know that I have had to put 90% of my wardrobe into archives bcos I am clearly not the same weight I was a year ago! I dont need a newsflash from someone who could stand to lose a few kgs herself.

Its interesting that this is the SECOND person who has said something to me in a week. Its as though I said to the Universe - OK, I am finally ready to lose the weight and I have made peace with it and am ready to forgive myself and move on . . . and the Universe has said . . . Ok chunky, lets see if that is really the case . .. let me send you some people who will test your resilience . . .

I am sooooooo happy I havent eaten bcos of this . . . I know just a few weeks ago it would have sent me scurrying for chippies or to get Domino's on the speed dial.

So:

Danni - 1 :D
The rude buggers of the World: BIG FAT ZERO

;)

Hope everyone has a happy Thursday!!!

Danni it just goes to prove that thre are jerks everywhere be proud that you let the comment run off and not sink in.. ;)


Vonni that sucks... why the **** didnt the doctor check it b4 sending you on your way..

Thanks Amy :) You know . . . bcos I have always felt fat . . . I dont think I have ever spoken to someone about their weight. Anyhoo, leaving that in yesterday and moving on.

Am happy to report that 4.35kg of my 5kg gain (PMS???) is gone.

Hi, can I join in? I signed up last week. It'll be nice chatting with other Oz chicks.

everyone i have now seen photos of danni, and unless she has a very very very big bottom (they were mainly headshots) then i would have said she does not have to lose weight!! she is gorgous!!!

however in saying that perhaps that she is motivated now before she is fat to keep it under control is the most awesome thing ever
i know when i got to 74kg i got cocky and let things slide
i know when i GET to 74kg again i will be too scared to i hope

hi lila - where are you from?

Hi Smylie,

I live in the Lower Blue Mountains, NSW. I've got about 40 kilos to lose (ack!). I was overweight as a child, but lost about 40kgs when I was 19 & kept it off for over 10 years. Then, you know how it is, marriage, long hours at work, zero exercise & it all slowly piled back on over the course of another10 years. I'm determined all this weight won't be around for much longer.

Oh Vonni that sucks that you may have to go thru that horrible procedure all over again!

Danni that's so rude what your colleague said. You seem to have a really good attitude about it though and that's awesome. You go girl! :cheer2::cheer3::cheer2:

:welcome3: to Lila. Always good to have new people join our wee group! I'm Julia and I'm from Christchurch, NZ. An honorary Aussie Chick cos we're all down under, right?

I found the paperwork the other day from when I first joined my gym. My weight was 98.somethingkg. I did get down to around 83 but I'm hovering around the high 80's at the moment.

I weighed in at 87.8 on 10 June and last night I weighed in at 88.7. Poo :mad: At the moment I'm eating meat like sausages and mince because it's cheap so I'm thinking that I need to budget to buy more lean meats again.

Had another good session at the gym last night, weights followed by a 30 minute jog and 10 minutes walking.

Aim for today is to eat well and go to the gym tonight.


:twirly:

Welcome Lila!!!

Too funny I started posting to Lila, someone came to talk to me in my office, I hit the post button and then I look up and there are loads of posts! heheheheeee

Kel - you are too kind! Trust me I DEFINITELY have weight to lose! I was looking at pics of me from 'before' and realised I look pretty smoking from 85kg down. I definitely look like a "big girl" now if that makes sense . . . not fat fat like I have been in the past but I have stopped posting pics on facebook that include my body though ha!!!!!!!!!! One day I will post my before before's and a current, for now I will keep a low profile on here ;) But if anyone is on Kel's fb and they want to add me I would be happy to accept new friends :D

Julia - I am heading off to the new gym tonight (the one that work pays for) and I also found my stats from the last time I was there and I was 110kg . . . so am not that much now but I wish I had gone back there when I was in the low 70's so I could parade around and let the personal trainer who dropped me from her client list know that I didnt need her to lose weight (she actually told me that i was not motivated enough to be her client . . . i told her if I had motivation then I would not need to pay a personal trainer to motivate my arse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha!)

Oh God I dont wanna be at work today.

oh i love that you got fired from a personal trainer that is so funny
heheheehe love love love it
oh can you lose weight and go back and shake your butt in her face?? that would rock

was good today til benji brought out peppermint choc icecream for dessert.... oh well could have been worse all day

my plan to ban cheese from the house is working
i have no cheese and therefore can not eat it

julia - gym gym gym you got not waste those work outs! i used to try and work off at least 300calories a day and that seemed to make the weight come off

lila - 40kg lets do it!!! my ticker says i have to lose 30 but i reckon it is closer to 35 til goal goal weight - we shall see - what are you doing to try and lose weight?

i felt really crook today, have had belly aches for a couple of days but lots of gurgling in my belly today - somethings in there are working over time i think the naughty food i had on tuesday is still playing with my body... oh well i am trying - yesterday i went for walk with the dogs..... this weight IS coming off slowly i need it to!

im on cloud 9...... i bumped into a an old friend i havent seen for about 2 years ....... i said hello... and she didnt even recognise me... she like ummm i know the voice but .....who are you..... lmao... im like.. ummm im amy and she was like omg... i dont even recognise you ,you have lost so much weight.... how you going...

hahahahahahha woohooo ...


ok back down to earth.. :)


Welcome lila.. :) great to have a new aussie on the boards .. we are a small but very friendly bunch that support each other through all the ups downs and sideways you can imagine.. ...

Danni i think i may have added you on fb.... lol .. im hoping ... lol if not you kind find me in kells friends too ..

weigh in tommoorw and from sneak peaking i know its a gain.. but its less of a gain then i had b4 so i wish i had written down what i was b4 so i could see how i went... .. i think i have lost a kilo ish from my funeral, family crap few weeks ...

at least now i can write it down and work from here ..


i have decided to make a goal........ and i have it all figured out.. i wanna be 99 or less by december 11 this year .. december 11 becuase that is my weigh in day and it gives me time.... becuase if i get to 99 or less by then .... my reward will be a shiny new outfit... to wear for xmas do's

so that means 7-10 kilo too loose from now till then .. 23 weeks in total...

so who wants to join me in an xmas challenge ?..

Thank you everyone for being so welcoming!
Smylie, I'm doing WW@home (points points points) I'm going to lose half a kilo a week - so it's going to be a long haul - but that's ok. When I get my act together I'm pretty organised when it comes to eating (except for PMS time when I get ravenous ravenousitis). My real problem is exercise - I'm such a couch potato. I need to (at least) start walking & powering up the Wiifit.
I hope your belly recovers soon. Overeating sucks.
Last weekend Hubs & I went to see "Chicago" at Star City - really good - Gina Riley (Kath & Kim) was in it, but afterwards we went to possibly the best Chinese reataurant in Sydney & I ate so much I felt like a snake that had swallowed something whole (you know that feeling?). The food was great, but I just overdid it. Nevermind, digest, move on.

Ugh Lila I TOTALLY know that feeling! Like you wish you could just unzip your belly cos you are so full . . . I love the idea of WW, have done the at home version in the past and I love that they have so many foods that you can get at Woollies that fit into the plan.

Amy 10 kg is very reasonable!!! And I love the idea of a Christmas Challenge! I will be in it and check in with my stats too. So its 23 weeks eh . . . ok I would like to lose 14kg by then . . . ok, got my eye on the prize now baby . . .

Yeah and Kel - I still think its hilarious that my personal trainer broke up with me!!!!!! What a nutcase. lol Good going on keeping the cheese out of the house. I have made my peace with the fact that I know no boundaries when I have chips in the house . . . so I can never keep them here.

Ok, I'm in on the Christmas Challenge too!

And I think somewhere around 10kg is reasonable and doable!

I am still feeling motivated in my weight-loss efforts (and my desire to jump from a plane!) I'm not doing anything spectacular...just working on portion control again!!

I have re-rediscovered cooking and have learned on the days that I don't cook I overeat and on all the wrong stuff! So the routine at the moment is, as soon as I get home from work I cook dinner. I don't necessarily eat the meal then, but I know it is there when I do want to eat. I think a lot of that is based on the 'distraction' technique...if I am doing something I enjoy I tend not to feel hungry nor do I want to snack.

Jumped on the scales this morning - 93.8kg. That's down 1.3kg from last weigh-in on the 26th. And that makes my Christmas Challenge goal around 84kg!

Ok, gotta run!

wow lindor 1.3 is fantastic ... well done ..


weigh in day for me to ( queue dooming type music...... like something scary is about to jump out...)

im 107.9... so a gain of 800 grams .. in the last frotnight... which is an improvement on the 108. something i saw last week when my diet was mainly chocolate so i didnt just cry... ... lol

So this is my starting point for the xmas challange ... I need to loose 8.9 kilos to reach my goal.... :)
