Oh Ani, how terrible! I am so sorry. Just seems so unfair to lose little ones.

Night Duty tonight oh yay lol. Weight loss not happenning i feel bloated and blerk

Re-joined calorieking today.

Start weight - 96.1kg!!

Disgusted to discover I have already consumed more than 1000cals more than recommended today! And that is after taking 70mins of walking off in exercise for my junkmail delivery today!!!

It's official, I have totally lost control!

From this point, I start picking up the pieces! Every scrap of food that makes my mouth is going to be recorded! One large glass of water will be taken prior to any solid item being placed in my mouth! Pedometer has just received a new battery and will be used every day...starting goal is a minimum of 6000 steps a day - more on a junkmail day!

FROM TODAY, MY WEIGHT STARTS TO FALL!!!

I am over feeling fat!

I am over being fat!

Thanks for all your kind thoughts everyone - I might not have replied but I really appreciated it.

Can you believe this? Banged my head on something today, and cut it enough to bleed - now have an attractive 5cm gash in the middle of my head - lucky I've got hair to cover it .

Been a very sad week and I haven't thought much about losing weight - but I will get back into it next week. Lindor maybe I should join Calorie King too.

Heads are very vascular and bleed heaps from the tiniest of cuts... so most people freak out. S h i t a 5cm gash must have bled like the buggery.

CAN anyone remember how to post pictures on the page?

I tried getting onto Calorie King but it seems that you have to have an account to see the info and to have an account you have to have an Australian address. Tres annoying.

Today, for only the second time in about 3 - 4 weeks, I have packed my gym gear and I will be going to the gym tonight. I've noticed that since I've gotten into lazy/overeating mode that I feel more depressed and lethargic and unmotivated than I have in ages.

I've also got my food diary dusted off and while I haven't come up with a strategy for how I'm going to lose weight, I'm going to start off just trying to eat sensibly.

HaHa. I managed to create an account on calorieking using the postal code for the NZ embassy in Sydney.

Too funny Julia. )

It's my mums birthday today, she would have been 57. I miss her terribbly. On the first of this month it was 6 months since she passed away. Some days it feels like yesterday and other times it feels like it happened ages ago. I thought by now I would be coping a bit better but I'm not really. I find I put on a brave face when everyone's around, but once I'm alone I'm a blubbering mess. I hope this gets easier really soon.

I can't imagine how hard it must be for you Barb. From my experience (of my best friend who lost her mum a couple of years ago) you'll always miss her like crazy but it will eventually get easier to deal with. It's a process and will take a while but you will get through it

I'm onto day 2 of calorie counting and so far so good. I'm getting the hang of calorieking and I think I'm doing it all right.

I went to the gym last night and did 40 minutes of cardio and tonight I'm going to do a spin class.

Hey Aussie Chicks,

I found this thread and thought I'd say hello. It's nice to see there are a few of us from Oz on here! I've found this to be such a great community and the best place to have a moan and get some inspiration. I haven't found anthing like it that's an Australian site. I love my ticker and look forward to putting in my new weight when the number on the scales go down. Plus, I have to admit it's nice when it's in pounds, so for every kilo you lose, you go down two pounds!

Feel free to say hi or drop me a line. I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Nikki.

Hi Nikki and welcome. We're a nice bunch of girls here, you'll fit really well.

Thanks Julia and Vonni. I didn't realise grief could be so awful. I've lost other people in my life before but not someone thats so important to me. If mum were here she'd kick my butt for letting this go on for so long! And I'm finding I'm using this as a reason to eat and drink. Not good.

Julia you sound like you're back on track, good girl.
