A KILO LIGHTER AFTER A NOTHING WEEK

I wasnt really going to count on this week, since i was sick for the first half and then a bit overindulgent at the end. no drinking verses ttom this week as well so it was going to come out fairly even i thought. Turns out i was a kilo lighter when i weighed in this morning, which gets rid of my 600g gain last week so im happy with that! 1.3 off my BLC goal set at 77 kilos, so im going to make sure thats gone by the end of the week. reminder that this week is the last week for the challenge, so make sure you get your final weigh ins to me asap so we can compile our results! everyone has done a fantastic job and i hope the challenge has helped all of you get a little closer to your goal - or very close for the likes of sherrie who is only an incling away with a weigh in to go this week! well done everyone!!

A gain in fair game!

I gained 600g this week, which while obviously im not happy to report this gain, i know why its there so it hasnt got me down or wondering why - which i think is very important.

We have some lucky weeks which im guilty of but we cant always have lucky weeks otherwise we wouldnt have been overweight in the first place!! So this week my body said, right you've had enough chances, stop being naughty, and ill penalise you with a few hundred grams. and really thats all it is. I am confident it will be gone and then some - for next weeks (final) weigh in!

Going to melbourne for a wedding on the weekend meant lots of bad foods, and too much drinking. and then as a result the hang over food was even worse! so i thought 600g was pretty good considering!! I also couldnt do as much exercise last week due to VERY sore muscles after my first pump class - im going back to torture myself tonight too!

This weekend im having a grog free week - and doing the same next week so im confident while i wont be at goal by the end of the challenge, ill be pretty god damn close!! and in the big scheme of things - THATS whats important!

Anyway I wish you all the best for your weigh ins this week, take care and keep in touch!

Cacher and Cheryl - im waiting on your last weeks results still
I havent heard from Carly bird in 5 weeks now so im thinking she's pulled the pin!

GREAT STUFF TO -
HELEN, CACHER, CHERYL, GEN, SHERRIE, ANG, CHRISSY and our little maintainer - CAZ!
THERES ONE WEEK TO GO OF OUR 12 WEEK (3 MONTHS IS HUGE) AND EVERYONE IS LIGHTER THAN WHEN WE STARTED! WELL DONE, ENJOY THE LAST WEEK AND BE SURE TO MAKE IT COUNT!!

Hallelujah!!

I am under 90kg!! I lost 2.4 kg this week, which is my best effort since I started this effort, which I am stoked about! I now weight 89.8kg !!!

Back on Track

Hello Ladies,

Well, I did better this week- I lost 1.5kg, so I managed to lose my gain from last week and some. I am so happy, as it means I am no longer classified as "overweight" for my height! I don't think I've ever been in my healthy weight range since I was 5, when I got chubby as a kid. I am starting to realise the enormity of what is happening to me- its almost like my identity has changed- "fat" has always been part of how would describe myself.

Anyway, this week I have worked on compromise. So instead of going and beating myself up about slipping up, I worked out in the gym a bit extra and cut down on food somewhere else. This week I'll try and stick to my meal plan, but at least I know after this week, that if I do slip up, working around it does work.

Hope you all have lovely weekends, and best of luck for your weigh-ins next week!

FRIDAY AGAIN!!

CHERYL AND HTD - I need your weigh ins for this week

and Carly is 4 weeks behind now.. im thinking she may have dropped out.

I hope you all have a great weekend, keep in contact, we only have 2 weigh ins to go before we crown the biggest loser! i found BL on tv really inspiring last night, there have been some great transformations!!

Best of luck :)

Surprise LOSS

Hi all, a very surprising loss this morning, after a very eventful weekend. Found and bought my wedding dress on friday which was very exciting, and guess what it was - a size 12! my size at the start off ww was 18-20 so that was amazing to have that size fitted in a wedding gown!!

I lost 800g this morning so im down to 78.7 so im 3.7 off my ww goal of 75, im also 1.7 off my BLC goal and only 1.3 kilos off being at the 30kilo mark, so im very impressed with how well i am going, dropping a point a day since hitting the 70s has made a big difference too I have found and im keen to put in another good week this week!

I ate a lot of crap on the weekend but netball played a big role with exercise and i kept active on the other days off too. I had too much burittos friday night, and the rest of the weekend consisted of a pie (nothing else elft at the canteen - but no excuse i should have made a salad roll to take!) and then some lollies before the game, too much pizza and garlic bread saturday night, my arch nemisis - platter of bickies and dips, cabana cheese etc, made an apperance saturday night for our tennis break up - me to blame - i made the darn thing, and ate most of it too i think. and i drank udls to add to the damage, only four or five though, sunday i had a big bacon and egg breaky and then had some grazing through out the day, steadyd up at night and had a ww meal for tea and walk afterwards which i guess helped but i was still very shocked this morning not to have gained, i think the hard work early - in preparation for the dress shopping helped out there... imagine what i could have lost with a good weekend!!! anyway thats life!

Pump class tonight and then netball training tomorrow night, latina pasta and sause tonight for tea, get the carbs up early for another busy week! I hope you all have some luck this week too, i realise we dont get much so ill take this one and work hard to repay the favour!!

Have a great week and if anyone hears from CARLY BIRD can you please let her know we are missing 3 weeks of weigh ins for her, everyone else is up to date - send through this weeks and ill do up a 10 week progress report at the end. keep up the great work everyone! BL is getting interesting too!!

0.5kg Gain

Hello ladies,

Hope you all had a lovely Easter! My Easter was a bit too lovely food-wise- this week I have a gain of 0.5kg. I am disappointed, but I know why I had the gain, so I guess its easier to deal with than if I was very good and had a gain. So between my Easter Sunday blowout and pre-mentrual bloat, it is an understandable gain. It does make my goal seem a bit further away, so I will be battling the "I'm over it" demons again this week coming... I am tired, so this weekend I hope to find the balance between being able to chillout a bit, and trying to keep busy so I don't think about eating food! Wish me luck...

Have a lovely weekend and good luck for your next weigh-ins :)
