Welcome to the playground LittleKiwi, you are very welcome to join in on our chat and our forum.
Lindor, keep up the morning rides, it will get easier for you.
Married to an Angel, good job on the walk, I hope you get better soon. I too am under the weather, and feel like staying in bed 24/7 at the moment. Not good with exams looming.
Karen, I look forward to chatting with you tonite. I'll be there as long as I remember, but I'll make sure I remember.
Catch you all tonite, 8pm QLD, 9pm NSW/ACT and I dont know what time in NZ.
Well today is just day 3 of my new lifestyle but I must say that I'm feeling fantastic. I find it easier to get out of bed in the morning and I'm enjoying going to the gym. Gotta keep this up!

Hey!!
Sorry I never managed chat last night...I got caught up in some very heavy rain from the edge of our Cyclone Glenda...all is well though as she seems to be heading further down the coast...maybe for Carnarvon and the banana growers there?
I did get in at about 8pm, but needed a shower etc and figured it'd be too late by then. Anyway, I hope it was a good night.
Kathy, sorry you were feeling crap, hope you get up feeling better this morning
Littlekiwi!! Welcome to the group! I remember day three too, I kept thinking this won't last, I will not last despite feeling so good. I just doubted my ability to stick to it for any duration (been there, seen it all before)...it is now nearly three months later and 15kgs less and I still feel great and feel even more determined. And what helped the most to keep me on track? This very thread...the people who contribute to it and the inspiration they give me. You too will find that here You will make it...we all will!!
Alright, I gotta hit the books myself today! Catch-up a bit later
Hey everyone!!!!
I hope all is going well on this fab day!!
Last night DH and i almost doubled how far we walk..so i feel great!! The extra km has done well..
It seems like today i don't really have anything to be up to besides healing in bed with a good book until tonight when we get to go late night shopping. This is toooo good.
Hi all again and welcome to Littlekiwi. You are doing great..,.we all are eh!! I only just remember my first week (on this diet anyway). I started at a size 24 and was determined to get to a size 12....Nearly there...well was once...thats another story though. we can do it...keep your determination up...when it wanes think about how great you will look and feel and how proud of yourself you will be when you get there.....Get better soon Kathyand Married an angel.....get up the fluids as they say.
Well I have been good again and this week lost another kilo that I found over the last few weeks that my head had not been in it. I have found my motivation again. Thanks for your kind words again Lindor..you are great for my self esteem. I have a mental image in my head what we all look like ( i bet it is nothing like it at all) and yes we are all skinny
Been walking daily...now go about an hour with my neighbour. She is so determined to lose her weight that it is infectious. We all need support so keep on posting guys...it will help us all reach our goals.leeny
Keep up the exercise Leeny, you are going great guns.
I went to the dr today there's nothing he can do about my flu thingy, but he did give me a dr's cert for the gym so they can add a week on at the end of my contract and I'm going to ask them for one week of my 4 weeks per year holiday so I can study hard next week.
I wasn't too impressed with myself tho, cause I only lost 2kg in the 4 weeks since I last saw him, I was hoping for at least a kg a week. Hopefully this month I'll make up for it. But I have now gone 29 days cheat free, congratulations to me. Now to get over the flu and start working my arse off again.

ABSOLUTELY congratulations to you Kathy!!! 29 days cheat free is fantastic work!!
I think it take a while for the body to adjust to a new routine. Look what happened when I started my exercise...I went a couple of weeks where I only lost one kilo. Your body will adjust and things will start to take momentum. Hang in there!
Leeny, you sound positive and more determined now compared to a few weeks ago. Good for you and keep it up.
Married and angel...rest up and get well soon. And ENJOY the retail therapy!!!
Time for my bike ride - this will be my 18th consecutive day (including the last four days of cycling mornings and evenings)
Hey girls
Keep up the good work. The bike riding is paying off isn't it Lindor..you certainly are getting fitter is sounds...is it just as hard...I bet not... and I'm sure all your exercise Kathy will soon catch up. Remember you have been ill and your body will hold onto any bit of goodness it can get to fight off "the dreaded lurgies"so just hang in there your body will catch up...not to mention you have already lost some weight so that is a positive.
Yes I am feeling better about everything again. I think this last month was just a disaster with quitting my job(on not a nice note) and then readjusting to life again and then getting sick on top of it all plus the op is now postponed for a while..that sort of threw me as I was really hoping for that. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise as my head was not in the right place which it really needed to be to recouperate from an op. Thanks guys for listening(or reading as the case may be). This little group has helped me focus and for that I am grateful to you all for letting me vent my frustrations here.
Well enough of the sagas...onwards and upwards as they say. Didn't walk today though..the weather is bad again but managed to get on my mini tramp again...dusted off the cobwebs..felt extremely exhausted afterwards but proud I have started on my journey again. We should all be proud of ourselves...we will all be thinner and healthier before we know it...leeny

Morning Ladies
Hope all had a good weekend!
Just popping in with my Monday morning weigh-in result. Still going down, but just one kilo this week. Down to 96kg.
Still doing my morning cycles too, although I think they are going to hurt for the next fortnight as I am on early shift and have to be up earlier But I will try. I need to know I will not punish myself if I can't do it on the occassional morning though.
Been feeling really exhausted the last week and I am wondering if maybe I am pushing myself too hard?
Hi ladies, thank you all for your words ... you've helped to make me feel excited about going to the gym today!
This week will be tough, I'll be able to go to the gym tonight and tomorrow and then I'm away from home for a conference until Saturday night. It's going to be busy so I don't know if I'll be able to fit any exercise in. Worried about the food too as it's fully catered, no doubt with yummy fatty foods!
You will make it...we all will!!
Hey All
But I will try. I need to know I will not punish myself if I can't do it on the occassional morning though.
