I still attend the WW meetings - and weighed in yesterday...I lost 1.2 kg... let's hope I keep losing this week. It is a bit disheartening when you are trying everything but not seeing the difference.

We have all gone quiet - is it the weather? I am down another 1.3 kg this week... been a great week... last week of term, birthday yesterday, out with friends tonight and a date tomorrow... things are looking up.

go vanessa. 1.3kg is awesome. Yeah it is quiet. i have a lot of stuff going on at the moment so not really into the computer or weight loss. :( hopefully though things will soon look up. Keep it up girl, yr doing great.

Hope things work out the way that you want it to. I had another awesome week, weighed in tonight minus 1.8kg!!! A total of 11cm lost in July, mostly from my thighs and waist... I am now a size 18 in the top, I was a size 22/24, but I can't quite fit into 18 in the bottoms... Some 20s are snug in the bottom, some are loose, I cant get a bottom part of the outfit that looks good atm... DAMMM!! I planned to wear some new jeans on the date but they clung in the wrong places, so I choose to wear some black pants that I owned, the waist was sooooo loose it hung near my pubic line LOL Lucky I had a long line top to wear. I raced over to a friends house to see what she thought - it looked ok, but she said don't raise your hands LOL We were going bowling!!! Anyway the date went well, we met online but talked on the phone for two weeks. The date didnt feel awkward, in fact it felt like we were old friends. So good we are going out again on Tuesday night, and he asked if I was free on Friday night cause he knows how busy I am and would like to see me again. He is an accountant and is super busy with year end but wants to go out for a drink and a meal tomorrow yeah!!! I'm feeling great! Was 200g off my birthday goal which was to achieve my 10% off WW goal... next week then LOL

You are going great Vanessa!! I am quiet because in the middle of exams and papers etc for summer classes... 3.5 weeks until this semester is done, thank feck. Also weight loss is slooooooooow. Coming up to 1 yr anniversary and really wanted to hit 65kg by then but I doubt it now - barely lost 2kg in June and have sat bouncing between 68.1 and 68.9 for past 2 weeks.. have DEFINITELY slacked a little and let bored eating creep in when hanging out at home over the long weekend studying. Must tighten it up and at least hit the goal - it's easy to get complacent when I am already size 8, fit, comfortable, enjoying summer heat without blubber suit, but must shape up! Also rarely drink water.. must drink more!

Last night's date went well, but I have woken with my TOM. I feel awful, no energy, feel like eating the biggest steak, but I wont be going out to buy one. I have had to change my clothing 3 times today. I have never been this heavy before. I think if it is like this tomorrow I am going out to buy maternity pads ARGHHhh!!! Does anyone else get like this - cause I cant remember ever feeling like this before!

Nope, mine have actually improved over the years. Day 1 used to be pretty awful but now it's only 3 days and not bad at all. Much less regular since losing weight though - I guess it screws your hormones up.

I can NOT get under 68kg. The lowest was 68.1, the highest 68.9 in the past month. Honestly I think I have been eating a lot more - not a lot at once, but just keep eating/snacking all day. Partly stress from school, partly (mostly, I think) because I am almost at 50kg and sabotaging myself. I have been at >49kg lost for a month but just can't get to the 50kg mark. VERY fricking frustrating - specially when what I eat is minimal compared to what I used to eat, but then again I guess I haven't gained anything.

Putting weight back on in future is a terrifying thought... not doing this again!

Arrrgghghhhh

PS: Am meeting a guy from match.com for coffee in a few hours. First ever internet date!! Don't hold a lot of hope but I need to get out and meet people and stop lusting after the hot married guy at work. Just had a lightbulb moment last week that I am completely wasting my time obsessing over him so that I don't have to actually risk meeting someone in real life. Duh, I know, but just realized it's time to get a life.

Hope your date goes well... what will you have wasted if it goes bad, a couple of $$ and an hour or two. But what if it works out..I have been dating too and I met him off the internet. At first I was wondering if he was fake, but I have asked for a lot of proof LOL And now I am having a ARGHHHHH moment. I have known this guy for 3 weeks, and he has already mentioned "Marriage and kids"... My response was "i dont know if I want to get married ever again". Dating this time round is soooo different. I would love to be spending Sunday with him, but I have my son, and at this stage I want to get to know Jeff better on my own, and see if he is worthy of meeting my son. I feel he is, but how long do I wait before introducing the two males in my life. I dont want it to be complicated, but it now feels complicated. How do I know if things are gonna work out, when they didnt the first time.... ARGHHHH!

Hoping to get my WW 10% key ring tomorrow night! Keeping really focussed on weightloss. Will try and let new relationship work itself out. Thinking about joining a new gym today... will go and have a look and see what its like. I'll check in again tomorrow after my weigh in.

Congrats on the 10%, that is great!

I met the guy, we had coffee and it was fine. He seemed nice, I would meet him again. No mad sparks but I don't really expect that either at first meeting!

Yeah about the date! Have you heard from him yet?

Weighed in - 700g down! Yahoo! Got my 10%. Set myself a new goal to lose another 5% - 7kg by the end of September. I am feeling great!

Had my mother put a dampener on things today, she just cant be happy for me. She asked about the guy I have been seeing and says, "I have a feeling he is a sleaze" "How do you know?" I questioned. "Its just a feeling" she says. Well that was it, Liam and I left. I am fed up with her negative talk. I havent answered her calls. I havent jumped into the new relationship, we are taking things real slow. I dont think she will ever be happy for me. I showed her my 10% keyring and she didnt say anything. It is a major achievement MUM! Be happy for me for once!!!! Grrrrrr!

Hi Aussies, I am a kiwi girl who has jumped the ditch to QLD. I'm trying to lose some weight too.....

I will be reading up on you as this looks like a fun blog

Welcome!!! What plan are you following o2bayyummymummy? Wish you well on your weightloss journey!

I ran 5km on Thurs night! I went to our gym and hit the treadmill for a jog - I have been jogging/walking around outside and doing more jogging than walking. Anyhow I started running and thought I would love to do 5kms, but wasn't sure I could. Then I thought - why not? My legs feel fine, I am not short of breath. Yes, it's hard, but I am doing it, what should make me stop? I realized it's all mental - it seems hard so I just stop usually. Anyhow - forced myself to just keep going, and decided even if I slowed down to a crawl I wasn't allowed to stop.

And I did it! Killed my quads the day after, but would like to practise and maybe do a real 5km outside.

Kind of help the fact that I haven't lost anything for a month! Wt loss sped up in May/June, then nothing for a month. My 1yr surgery anniversary is coming up July 28th and I wanted to hit the 50kg lost mark! Boo.

Yeah on running! Keep it up and I think you will hit your goal!!!

Hmmmmmm - the new man just left... He came over Friday night and stayed till lunch today! We didnt spend the weekend in bed the whole time, we went out for dinner, watched some dvds, played rummykins LOL it felt soooooo good! sooooo right! Hoping things continue to be great!!!!

I am hoping to see a loss this week but I havent tracked the whole week!!!! It will be a great if I do, but a wake up if I dont!!!

You inspired me this afternoon... when I went out for my walk this arvo, I jogged some. I actually was peeved off. My mum drove past my house at 8am this morning and noticed my "visitor's" car... this afternoon she yelled at me and called me a sl@t... I told her I was 36 and deal with it!!! Jogging definitely helped me get over her comments. She will never be happy with me!
