hi everyone (gosh the group got bigger didn't it!)
Well, we survived our weekend dash to Melbourne. Flew in on Saturday night, got to our friends place about 1am, and caught the overnight bus home last night, got home about 7 this morning. Ugh. It was a whirlwind visit, my auntie's 50th birthday.
As per my new eating trend, I ate crap all weekend...(although that engg and bacon sambo at 1am in the middle of nowhere was great!)
I forgot to weigh myself this morning when I got home, and I've eaten now, so I'll wait til tomorrow morning. The outlook doesn't look good though. I have a favourite pair of pants that I couldn't fit into anymore. Then I could again, and it felt great. But I really know that I am putting the weight back on now, becuase my pants look/feel really tight again. damn. But I'm not surprised.
lalalala off to Uni now. Busy busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Good work on the losses girls, btw. I love reading all your chirpy posts. It cheers up my days! 0h, so does that rain!!!! It seems to be raining everywhere!!!!
I was down this week too- 1kg I am happy too -I was thinking it would only be 1/2 kg but it was a bit more -although now I am only going to expect 1/2kg per week.
Well my weekend ended with a bit of a disaster - yesterday I cleaned my 3yo son's fish tank and I use a magnetic algae remover to clean the glass, as I was putting it in the tank one of the "wiggles" swam between the glass and the cleaner and got squished - I was very distraught although my son hasnt noticed... and then this morning I get up go to get a loaf of bread out of the freezer and I notice my freezer is defrosted - its gone - I bought an extended warranty so hopefully it gets fixed and all is good- but I had filled the freezer up with fish, chicken and frozen vegies to last the next fortnight, I have stuff sitting in my neighbour's freezer at the moment but I also had to throw out some fish it had fully defrosted-so I hope it gets fixed soon-still waiting on call back from Fisher and Paykel. My insurance wont cover it either because I didnt pay for fusion insurance!!!! Bad things come in threes - what will be next!!!!
Congrats Ani, Liamsmum and Lindor and Gen on yr weight losses. I'm going to work extra hard this week on trying to get out for a walk. Even around the block will be something to aim for. Don't think I can tackle the hills at the moment till I get back in move mode.
Oh dear liams mum!!! Poor fishy. I have one of them cleaners too and my fish get caught up in the string that connects both magnets together. It's on there to pick magnet out of water if it disconnects from other one through glass. I'm tempted to just cut the string off, but can't handle the thought of getting my hand in the fish water. ewww! I have a phobia about my hands getting yuk.
Ani yep I watched BB too. and I record it cause I miss some parts due to noisy kids. They all seemed cool with Andrew and Hayley but I wonder how they'll deal with being in the house and sharing a room with everyone else. No nookies in that bedroom. lol. And I think the others may feel uncomfortable and nominate them if they get too smoochy or sneak off to quiet room. I think it is pretty bad of BB to mess with heads like throwing Billy into the house. Thats not real good. As Hayley said, she was finding it hard keeping this from Andrew and felt she was no being honest with him. He seemed to handle it ok, but I noticed after hayley said it, she didn't go to Andrew, sort of sat with girls for a bit. Was good though that she admitted to all she diodn't know about it beforehand. But maybe BB needs to back that up so others don't think she is a *****.
As for *****es, I don't like Kate or TJ or Rebecca. I was ok with Rebecca for a bit, but she's trying to hard. And Emma I thought was a ***** at first but warming to her a little. I like Ashleigh and Jamie. How's poor Thomas's cutdown from TJ... The cow. was totally nasty.
Anyhow gonna run again.
WB to Kylie. Glad to hear you had a good weekend. Don't panic bout yr jeans love - mine are a bit on the holding breathe side this week also. Speaking of food at 1am - has anyone ever had a pie from coolangatta pie shop after a night out - yummo!!!!! the best in the world.

Reason: missed someone
My mum and I have agreed that the 3 things are Fish, Freezer and Food Loss - the freezer is on extended warranty but Fisher and Paykel cant get here until at least Thursday - so I threw out all the opened frozen vegies, fruit (love those mixed berries in smoothies) fish and Liam's nuggets etc.
Wonder what the nomination twist is? I hope I get a chance to watch it - about to do swimming lessons with Liam and then dinner at mum's, she does not watch BB. You guys will be able to fill me LOL
Hoping the start of everyone's week is better than mine ....
My Gosh, you girls can talk!!!! Sorry, I have not the time to read through. But I have seen some wonderful losses. WELL DONE. And I can finaly say that I have lost, after something like 6 weeks of standing still. 500g gone. Yah for me. Could have been a bit more if only that fried chicken chips and beer had not jumped out at me on the weekend. But what the heck that's the way it goes. Have to run, will have more time tomorrow
busy, busy, busy have a good one

TJ is quite scary on BB. On another board I'm at she's been nicknamed Single White Brunette, with lots of jokes about bunny's.
I hurt my shoulder at the gym tonight! I was doing weights last Mon with my PT and went a bit high on chest presses. I hurt it a bit then but it was fine for the rest of the week (including weights). I go to do my exercises tonight with her, but the momenet I did chest press it started stinging! Even doing my other arm exercises hurt it. So I'm off the upper body weights for a week and we'll try smaller weights next week. Stupid shoulder. Its also going to affect pilates!
Cant think of a goal at present but just wanted to share a good feeling from the weekend...
Well - I threw out my fat pants(size 24) LOL and had bought three recent pairs for this winter- well I went out sat night, it was freezing and I had left planning my wardrobe till the final half hour before getting picked up (I had soaked in a bath for over 3/4 hour) ... so I went to put on my new black pair and I had forgotten that they needed taking up as well as my new brown pair, and I had worn the other new black pair on Friday to work and I hadnt washed them yet... I did a mad dash - pulling out all the clothes in my wardrobe hoping I had kept a pair of fat pants that I could wear pulled in and pinned and rummaging through some of the skinny clothes I kept aside that I had spent heaps of money on before I had got married, well the skinny clothes are still toooo skinny, so I thought about rolling up the new pants but I need at least 6 inches cut off both pair of pants - so I ended up wearing the dirty pair - I quickly spot cleaned the gluey finger marks that some of the kids had put on during the day - I am LOL now, but at the time - I was in a panic... Reflecting on this I am glad that I no longer have to wear the FAT pants, it feels like I have reached a small milestone!
Lindor I think that between all of us we can aim for another 5kg this week.
I had a good day yesterday, even though I did no exercise. Went to the Dr because my sinuses have been shocking and I'm now on antibiotics - blurk!
I feel pretty good about being able to lose another 0.5kg this week… I'll certainly work hard to try and get there. Hopefully I will be able to find time for a walk today.
Hope everyone else is travelling OK. Come on Kylie - stay with us
Do you measure yourself? If you're exercising you might be losing fat, but gaining muscle.
I had a Coke today! I have a soft drink in my short breaks, and went to get Pepsi Max. I honestly didn't realise until I started drinking that I had the wrong drink! Since I had no other money I had to finish it (it tides me over to my meal. Technically I'm supposed to wait, but I'm getting better at the five horus. Before I had to eat celery or carrots, now its just the drink)
Pushed up the level tonight at the gym on the treadmill, bike and arc trainer - I was feeling the burn on the arc trainer after 10 minutes but perserved through another 5 - left the gym bright red faced and sweat still pouring out even after towelling off and changing but later tonight I feel soooo much more energised, feel soooo much better for working out. I like how I can look back and remind myself I started the arc trainer on level 3 and found it hard to do 3 minutes at first (Jan 18th) and now tonight I did Level 6 and lasted 15 minutes... my new goal for that equipment is to push it 20 minutes and then I will go up a level again! I love reaching fitness goals as well as weightloss goals.
Vonni even though I have gone for a month (prior to this week) without losing any weight, I lost 3cm in my hips and 1cm around my waist - sometimes it is impossible to work out what your body is doing!
I had another good day yesterday - ate properly, walked for an hour, and drank some water. I plan to do the same today - even though I slept in this morning. Grrr…
I'm really determined that another 0.5kg is going this week.
Well, I finally booked the doctor's appt. It's not til Monday, but at least it's booked.
Have been feeling progressivly worse, getting very angry/anxious/stressed, often for no reason. But never fear, the doc will patch me up, or send me to someone who can (hopefully for as little money as possible).
Vanessa, you have reminded me of how great exercise can be! I haven't been going to the gym at all the over the last few weeks. Perhaps I should go, and see if it helps.
Thankyou for all your hugs and support. Hopefully, this is the start of a happier (and healthier) me.
I am happy too -I was thinking it would only be 1/2 kg but it was a bit more -although now I am only going to expect 1/2kg per week.
And I can finaly say that I have lost, after something like 6 weeks of standing still. 500g gone. Yah for me.
