Stephanie I hope you are feeling better. LIsa, stick with it, the weight has to co-operate soon. Are you still following e-diets? What plan are you using? I believe we all can be thinner with the right healthy eating, we just have to find out what that is for our own body.

I went and bought a areobic step yesterday and used it for 30min last night, I am very pleased with it. I did it while watching desperate housewives, I work nights tonight so I will go for a 30min walk tonight then maybe swimming when I wake up tommorow. My next goal is to buy a bike when I am 90kg I saw the bike at the store today it is new but it looks like a big old 60's bike they had it in red, I hope it comes in other colours maybe green. I would love cruising around on it. Today is the first day of Autumn, this morning was cooler. I am looking forward to winter this year because I wasnt here for the last one, I might buy a secondhand areofit for winter to keep up the exercise they are cheap 2ndhand. I feel i have to exercise at least 30min everyday or else I wont ever exercise it will always be tommorow. When I am fitter I will vary it more.

I am keeping within my points even with a little choc.

new here wanting to make friends........help.
 

Hi everyone.
I am new here and wanting to make new friends to support one another on this journey of ours.
I have been here for a week or 2 and haven't had much luck getting to know anyone,so hopefully I will get a reply or 2.
I am 41,long term relationship(19 years) and 3 kids.I am a stay at home mum.
I have been over weight all my life and have tried all the diets under the sun and finally I have decided to try a new direction.
I have decided to eat healthy and make healthier choices and this time(so far) I have been going down in weight.
I would like to become a part of a group who battle with weight from day to day and who would like to meet in the chat room here regulary.Please let me no,thankyou.

Hi, aussiegal. You definitely picked the right group to get replies. This is such a nice bunch with such varied backgrounds.

I haven't used the chat room on these boards. Mainly I get up in the morning, check in after eating breakfast and then check in sometime in the evening. I think I'm addicted to this site. :lol:

Well, I definitely chose the wrong challenge to start this week! For some reason, I am completely nauseous today, and every time I've started to work out, I've had to stop to get sick. After the fourth try, I just gave up on it.

Hey my buddies!, running to gym now!

Hi aussiegal!, welcome to our world!!, it's so much fun to loose fat in here!! :)

Well, check back with you guys later!

Love,

J.-

ok guys. Here i am again,still feeling blue. But the good thing is i now have a cold sore on my lip so the only thing i can have has to be really chewed very well and i can only take small bites. lol so thats helping with the cravings. well i must go get on the bike now but ladies. welcome to all the new ladies.

Hi everyone!
 

I hope everyone has had a great day! I just wanted to get on quickly to catch up on what has been going on. My hubby has to work on the computer tonight so I had to beg to get on for a few minutes. Today has been a good day. A teacher at work that is doing WW with me had a birthday today so we had anglefood cake with fresh strawberries and it was a really good alternative to a "cake". With 22 of us doing this at work the food police are everywhere!!!!! I actually think there are some people feeling a little left out because no matter whose lunch time it is someone is talking about WW and points!!!

Have a great evening ladies!

Paige :balloons:

glad to see I am not the only one who is rushing to the bathroom. I also tend to drink more at night. I am not quite sure why. I also seem to get alot in the morning. I try to drink a 16.9oz bottle before I have any caffeine. Motivation!
By the way what was this weeks challenge? do we have one?

Hi everyone! Happy Monday night!

I had a day off from work today so I decided to go cross-country skiing which I hadn't done yet this year. I did 5 km! :sunny: I was also my hockey night and I played two games! So i've finally started exercising more. It feels good and I have to keep at it.

How is everyone else doing with the exercise challenge?

Still staying within my points with a few flex and drinking my goal of 32oz water a day.

Aussiegirl: Welcome to this group!! It's a great place to lose weight and find support! Looks like you are already doing well!

Lisa: Don't give up!! It will show up eventually!! I'm sure it makes it so much harder to keep at it, but it would could only be worst if you stopped ! Btw, I too am addicted to this site! I figure it's a healthy addiction :D since it makes me accountable for lots of things on a daily basis as oppose to only accountable for my weight on the balance once a week at ww meetings.

Everyone is doing so well! I'm still so proud of all of us. Just remember, even if you only lose one pound a week (which is really excellent) - that's one pound less! And after a year, that's 52 pounds less. The year will pass regardless of whether the weight is lost. I just remind myself of this and think of how many years passed that I didn't do anything about my weight!

I said that I would let you all know how last night went. I didn't get any exercise in. I was still just too tired from being sick. I did weigh myself though. The last time I weighed on 2/18/05, I weighed 227.5 lbs. This morning, I weigh 226 lbs.!!!! Yippee! Down 1.5 lbs. I was so happy to see this! I was so sick that I really couldn't even tell you what all I ate. I'm just so thrilled to know that I didn't go backwards during that time!!

Smiling now!

Ann-Cross-country skiing and hockey games!!?? That is so awesome!! It sounds like lots of fun! Exercise just doesn't seem like work when you're having that much fun, does it? I hope I can find that again soon! I'm still having to make myself get up to jog!! And I love it so!!

Verity - Are you going to do a 5K? I'm trying to prepare myself for one on April 9th! If you've never done one, they are wonderful and very empowering! Good luck with your training. And just hang in there. It will feel difficult sometimes but it is so worth it!!

Stephanie

hey guys. Well i can't talk long on my way out the door to class. But i can say this much i got my 30min of exercise in and all of my water, so i am very pleased with that.No pounds lost but hey i think i am checking the scales to much.i go over there everytime i go to the fridge, the scales are right next to it.i think i might move them. i ate pretty good last night too and got in some fruits and veggies.anyway i gotta go and sit in a really boring psychology class.Oh the things we go through to be a nurse!!!!lol but it will be worth it in the end. Later guys i'll get on again when i get back from class.

Stressed!
 

Ok. I've been trying not to let this bother me. But the reality of it has sunk in today. My job started out as temp-to-hire, but then the firm decided to merge with another firm. Needless to say - they won't be needing two receptionists. I've known for about a month or so that this job wasn't going to go permanent for me. I've applied for jobs and had interviews but no offers yet. I have this job through March 11th (unless they tell me to get out sooner). That means, not including the rest of today, I have only 8 guaranteed workdays left! ACK!! Yuck!! I am stressed now!

I've been doing so well. Having faith in God that he knows what's best and will provide that on his schedule. But today, I'm not doing as well. Today I'm concerned. I want to know that I have a job somewhere. I could draw unemployment for a little while if I had to. But that's still not a job. (plus I wouldn't get as much as if I was working) And I want to work.

So sorry! I just desperately needed to get this off my chest. I'm trying like you know what NOT to just go and eat every darn cheesecake I can get my hands on!!! Thanks for listening!

Gotta Think Thin
 

Hey my weight loss buddies!!!!! Have not been online for a couple of days. I am really busy at work today too so it has been hard to check out how everyone is doing.

First off - Welcome to AUSSIEGAL!!!! Glad to see you here.

Hope you all are doing well. Don't have alot of time but wanted to check in. I did my weigh-in............1lbs gone. I finally got to use the cute weight loss avatar. I was a little upset when it was just 1.....but I know I did not work as hard as I could so lesson learned!!!! Work harder and I will reach my goal faster. Keeping my head up because one pound is one pound. I am not gonna complain about lossing anything. Sometimes more sometimes less.....RIGHT!!!!

Well girls, I must go for now. I will try to check in later in the day if work slows down some.

Have a wonderful day!!!!
