Fat Fighters - 2007

[milasmum]

OK I am back!

I was highly unmotivated for a while and there was a lot going on. My wake up call was a weddng I attended a couple of weeks a go. I wore a dress that I had only worn to another wedding a couple of months earlier. Well it was a little tighter!

so:

DH has lost 2.5 kg in one week and I have lost 1 kg. My goal is another 5kg. Its not much but will make me feel so much better...I still look 6 months preg.

DH has quit smoking and alcohol...and I mean quit, not just a detox. I am very proud of him. I am sure this is helping his weight.

We have chosen healthy foods to eat rather than follow a specific diet. This way it will be a lifestyle change. I have stopped buying certain foods, and am discovering some really yummy but healthy snack options.

So thats the story thus far...

hey ladies!!

I have been MIA for what feels like aaages - i think about 2 months
Great to see that this thread is still here, i've been really good with my exercising still - i'm very committed and have just started doing the Couch to 5km running program - it's really cool, it trains you to run 5 km's over a 9 week course through podcasts on your mp3 player.

Hope everyone is well ontheir way to their goals!!

I am stuck on 83 kgs..mainly due to my cold/cough..want to wait till I get better..havent been tot he gym for a week! Yikes! I will go to yoga regardless tomorrow..

[Kezmo]

Ana - it sucks when you have a cold but your doing yourself a favour by letting yourself get better - yoga will be a nice way to 'ease' yourself back into it!!

sadly i keep yoyoing which never used to happen to me, lost 10kg for ttc, then quit smoking and put it all back on (grr), lost it again and despite me not changing a thing its all creeping back on again =( i used to be able to eat whatever i wanted and no matter what stay the same weight, now i eat as healthy as possible and am still putting on weight! losing my determination so this thread is a lifesaver!

oh just wanted to add myself here

I am trying to lose 20 kilos and started 2 weeks ago, I have changed my diet and excerising when I can I've lost 2 kilos in 2 weeks but I feel heaps better!

I've been doinga weigh in once a week and taking a pictur of my bum, it's proved to be a great motivator LOL too much knitting!

LOL Katanya. Your bum

[Kezmo]

Lol Katanya - now that's a novel way to keep yourself motivated!! Love it!!

Me - i've been REAL good today - i went for a walk at 6am, went to gym at 9am for weight training and i'm going to touch football at 6pm tonight for fixtures!! If only i could keep up this routine every day
i scored a try last week - first time ever so hopefully i can give a repeat performance to night I'll have to be as fast as this emoticon lol!

I tried on some clothes the other day and was saddened by lack of fit. It was a huge clearance at Target and years ago I would have fit into everything. I am twice the size (not weight) I once was

I have started taking a 4 3 2 1 slim detox herbal stuff and am not eating biscuits and cake.
I am around 74kgs, so lost some from Jan07 but have at least 6 kgs to go.
I am also exercising with a dance DVD (I love it) and doing stomach crunches and sit ups everyday. I don't think I'll ever be size 8 again, but don't want to be size 18.
