[MumsieMel]

Ok well ive been pretty good avoiding sweet food (my bad area! LOL) until last night DH brought home a double choc sunday with a flake :chef:
But i felt ill afterwards!

Then today i went to a Biggest Morning Tea and had 4 small cakes :rolleyes:

But a little splurg occasionally is ok right??? :laughing:

How about everyone else :detective:

[CJandMum]

End Goal-August (but then I do another round of IVF :laughing:)

[Celeste77]

Well I'm back to being good.:thumbsup:
I think I ate enough sweet stuff on the weekend to last me a lifetime. Dinner at the Casino was awsome though!! They had the yummiest desserts - I had to sample almost all of them. :D

Ive been very good today so far but it is raining here, so I dont think Im going to be able to do my walk. I will just have to chase DD around the house to burn calories and tire her out!

Are we going to weigh in on a particular day?

How is everyone else doing?

I have the same problem with my DH. He thinks he is doing a good thing by bringing me a "surprise" home (usually chocolate). Once it is in the house I have no will power!:( Im not one of these people who can just have one square of chocolate unfortunately. I wish I was!!:rolleyes:

[BB78]

Hi all, how is everyone going??

I know what ya mean mel sweet things my weakness too :D Doing great tho hun :thumbsup:

AFM: Well both hubby & I are doing this together & we started saturday so thats our weigh in day too.
WE have set mini goals (5kg by his birthday in june) and ultimate goals. He wants to lose 50kg.
So far we are doing great we both have giving up snackin on biscuits & cake with our coffees, and having 2 sandwiches at lunch & big servings of dinner.
And both drinking heaps more water.

I am sticking to my 1-2hr walks a day, and DH has a physical job so her work hard then & then comes with me for my night walk after dinner we all go as a family :thumbsup:

I got my Wii active on layby, so cant wait to get that. I did try & do a Yoga session but DD woke up when I was doing it.. so just did extra housework instead with her in the sling.:rolleyes:

I did cave today tho when i was buying bread in bakers delight I had a banana & choc scone... sooooo good.. but I did share with DS so wasn't as bad :D

BEV
Sounds like you too are doing great!

CELESTE
I must confess DH asked what i wanted from Maccas :o so self inflicited :shame:

Ok so i have a good tip for everyone...
DID YOU KNOW.....

By NOT eating anything 1/2 an hr before and 1/2 an hr after after exercising you will burn extra calories!

This stops your body from needing to burn off what you have just eaten, or about to eat.

HTH :thumbsup:

Thanks hun ...

Did not know that! Great tip .. & will put it into practice!:yelclap:

[MumsieMel]

9kg to go!! This is my first goal weight then I'm going to look in the mirror and decide what to do. 63kg will match the skinnest I've been since I was 15!!

**Just wanted to ad my bmi says I can be as light as 50kg....I'm still not convinced bmi's are usefull....

[hippity]

Just wanted to pipe in and say that BMI is a useful(ish) measurement, but don't take it too seriously - for the last five years, my BMI has hovered around 17 which is supposed to be unhealthily underweight, but it really is just the way I was built.

Thanks to baby fat, I've now reached my personal ideal weight of 55kg - now, to tone up the jiggly wigglies!

[two cheeky smurfs]

Hippity I agree I dont like the BMI either its not accurate as everyone is diff & doesnt take into account ppls build etc.

[Tegan15]

hippity - I agree - Does it take into consideration peoples nationality's? Or is it based on white caucasian people?

BB78 whats Xndo? Is it a weight loss tablet?

[BB78]

Xndo is a weight loss program :)

[MumsieMel]

But back to it tomorrow!

[Ushas]

Hiya,
I'm keen to try losing some more weight! I'm fitting in with KyKy here...

Start Weight (@Birth) 115kgs
Pre-preg Weight - 104kgs
Current Weight - 102kgs
Target Weight - 75-80kgs would be awesome!!!!

Plan - Back to Kate Morgan for me (now I'm not BF anymore) and my Curves membership kicks back in at the end of June. I'm not actually allowed to do anything for the first 6 weeks because of the stitches (3rd degree tearing) and putting pressure on them. But I am doing a little light walking. I don't actually have much of an appetite though. So I keep forgetting to eat atm... I'm sure it'll be back with a vengeance once I feel better.

Timeline - Christmas would be brilliant, but definitely next April when we want to go back to the UK for my cousin's wedding and show off Kian to his daddy's family.

[MumsieMel]

Ok so back to the exercise yesterday! :yelclap:

My appetite is really low with this cold, mainly cause i cant taste anything :rolleyes:

Hoping for another 1kg loss this week! :yes:

HOW and WHERE is everyone else???

Previous weight: 65kg
Starting weight: 74kg (at delivery)

[Tegan15]

waytogo - Baby yoga? Can I ask how tall you are? You sound so tiny :)

I've made those lactation cook anI can't stop eating them - which is great if they do their job but cr*p for wanting to lose weight - they're full of butter and sugar!!

Im 159cm. I have had aeating disorder on the past so i know losing this weight the 'right' way is going to be hard espeially cause i know how quickly i can drop weight otherwise. But I just can do that while im b/f, too much guilt. I went for a walk this morning and there is a huge hill at the end of it that is great for the gluts and legs.

I was thinking about makeing the cookies but i cant be bothered, i just have a bowl of oats in the morning, i hope it works. Did you manage to get around to making another batch??

[MoOaNdLiTtLePoPpEt]

honestly i don't know my weight at labor...prob around 85kg, if not more...

NOW - 70kg
Previous to falling pregnant - 66kg

goal at this stage is to get down to 65kg...and then go from there!

[greeneyes81]

Prepreg weight: 63kg
Weight at labour: 76-77kg
Current weight: 70kg(2 weeks+2 days after birth)
Goal: 63-64kg

I thought the weight would come off alot quicker but I guess it has only been 2 weeks and a bit. Thinking about getting some new clothes as old ones dont fit yet and need a lift...sick of wearing super loose baggy trackie sets.

Current Weight: 77.1kg (5 days after delivery)
Goal Weight: 57-60kg (pre-pregnancy weight)
Plan of Attack: Eating healthy, breastfeeding, walking, stomach exercises given by physio (as my stomach muscles are separated). Once I’ve strengthened my stomach muscles again I’d like to do some light weights and yoga.

Hopefully, I can go for my first walk today as I’ve been in the house since I got home from the hospital.

Greeneyes81 – new clothes sounds like a wonderful idea. Mine don’t fit either and I’m sick of not having much choice in what to wear other than pyjamas and track pants.

[Tegan15]

waytogo - :hugs: - i'm sorry you've had to go through having an eating disorder... but you are tiny :) for your height your goal weight is still healthy.
I also live near the bottom of a massive hill! doesn't matter what way i go for a walk its all up hill, its getting esier each day though

I put it down to our double storey house and going up and down the stairs 50,000 a day to settle the little man in his cot.

[two cheeky smurfs]

I havent replyed in here lately as im having trouble losing the weight. I do do some mild excerise like take my twins for a walk in the pram but lately its been too cold and cant do my workout dvds as my twins are awake all day... i dont have time to eat properly as i just eat on the go (i tend to eat unhealty stuff as its quick and easy)

I feel as though ill never loose the weight i want to and its been getting me down... my twins sleep really good at night which is good but i dont do any excerise then as i need the sleep... they are really a handful during the day. Sorry about this kind of depressing post... feel a little down at the moment!!

Hope everyone else is doing well :-)

[MumsieMel]

MUMY2TWINS
You hang in there babe, the twins will settle down eventually and you'll have a little more time.

I am currently doing a 15 day detox to flush the fluid I built up and to generally get my body feeling a bit nicer. just about halfway through.

Goal weight: 75kgs
Timeframe: None, I am taking it slow and not putting on the pressure to be that weight by this time. It puts me in a bad mindframe.

Hii Ladies,

Your all doing a wonderful job loosing weight :)

I have been doing pole dancing for 2 months and i walk at least 2-3 hours a day and on weekends i get a few gf's out for a huge walk around the swan river (17kms) with the kids!

i have been training for the city to surf on sunday which is 12km walk :)

I have been finding pole dancing has helped a lot and also stomach crunches befoer i got to bed :)
i just want to tone my stomach up now!!

Hope you are all well and loosing the kilos :)

Hi,

My name is Bec, and I would love to join you guys :) I had my daughter in April and have been 'actively' trying to lose weight since the beginning of August. So far I've nearly lost 10kg, but am losing all motivation.

Current weight: 86kg
Prepreg weight: 98kg
Weight after birth: 96kg
Goal Weight: 70kg

Plan of Attack: Healthy eating (im b/f) and I've also just joined the gym, so will try and do 1hr, 4 times a week plus a daily walk with the pram.

Time Frame: by Christmas (I would like to have photo's of my daughter's first christmas that I don't feel ashamed to show people)

Will check in soon :)

Wow, sounds like everyone is doing well.

Well, it’s been 16 weeks since I first started trying to lose the kilos and I’m still plugging away at it. I joined a gym and at first didn’t lose any weight for about 6 weeks but now it seems to be coming off again. I’m going to the gym 5 days a week for about an hour and I’m quite enjoying it. I’ve got myself in a routine where I take William and he just sleeps in his pram while I work out.

Name: Theresa
Current Weight: 65.9kg
Starting Weight: 77.1kg (5 days after delivery)
Goal Weight: 57-60kg (pre-pregnancy weight)
Plan of Attack: Eating healthy, going to the gym, yoga.
Time Frame: By my 30th birthday in October

[Kimmie]

Is it too late for me to join? I've done things a bit backwards. I lost a heap of weight while pregnant and have now put some on since having bubs. :rolleyes:

NAME: Kim
Current weight: 103kg
Starting weight: 99kg (1 wks after delivery)
Goal Weight: 75kg (pre thirties weight :D)
Plan of Attack: Three healthy meals a day instead of unhealthy snacking throughout the day. Walking (with bubs!) as much as possible, weather permitting.
Time Frame: Bubs first birthday, with any luck!

Should be easy to avoid the snacking when I return to work part time next week. See how I go! :)
