Weight Loss Support Group for Young Women!

[BlueButterfly]

Hi girls! :wave:

I thought I would start a weight loss support group for young women! I have wanted to lose weight for so long now, but I havent had the right support to go with it. So...if you would like to lose some weight...whether its just a few kilos, or a bit more than that, feel free to join!

I will start!

My starting weight: 72kg

My target weight: 60kg

Feel free to share weight loss tips as well!

Good luck girls! :smiliedance:

Mel

[BlueButterfly]

Good on you girls! :yelclap: Anyone else?

[woven_wings]

My starting weight: 58kg

My target weight: 53/4kg (dont worry all in proportion, I am small framed - its been checked with the dr)

I continue to go up in weight... used to have a flat tummy and now it has flub, yea some might say "Pft thats nothing" but it is to me. Id like to be happy with the way I look again. I have NO self control, eat junk constantly and cant seem to wean myself from it. I have no fitness, and am extremely unfit and cant run to save myself... this has got to have bad effects on my body.

I have a gym membership but havent been in 4 weeks... bad!! I'd like to tone up more than loose weight tho... but I need to actually GO to the gym!

[BlueButterfly]

My biggest problem is mood food! Damn tasty treats! Well no more...:shame:

I wish I had a gym nearby, or a walking buddy who will get me off my a** and go walking! :laughing: I need it desperately!

[blessedmummy]

yeah... me too! i did try for a bit..but then got lazy and made up excuses "its too cold, its too hot!" i did use to walk 30mins to the shop and back! lost some wieght..but i think its all on agian! :o

[cheezelkat]

Great thread!

My starting weight: 67kg

Goal weight: 60kg

I'm very keen to loose my belly flab! Liam never stops poking it to see how long it wobbles for :o

I've been walking heaps though - it's the only way to get bub asleep so I'm out with the pram twice a day, everyday!

[Mummymia]

Hi Ladies,I too need to shift the muffin top,I'd love to join!!

Starting weight 72kg,

Desired weight 55kg.

A walking buddie would be great!!

[Niki]

ok girls hope u dont mind if i join, im not trying to lose weight just trying to get healthy and exercise to keep off xtra weight gain, i dont wana put on 25kg again while preg :)

[BlueButterfly]

Welcome Ladies! Well...today is a new day! I am personally going to resist eating anything naughty, and will aim for 20-30 mins exercise every day!

Plus...my major fault is hydration! I dont drink anywhere near 2 litres of water a day! So I will be focusing on that too!

Good luck everyone! :yelclap:

[woven_wings]

I have failed before I have even started... was all pumped to go to the gym at 6am this morning... but I slept in instead. Will try to force myself to go after kindy today.

Drinking water is one of my downfalls too. I need to make sure I carry a water bottle around with me everywhere... so will be doing this today.

I think getting active will make me feel less tired all the time, its just breaking the lazy rut Ive got myself into!

[Havana_Face]

Ok so count me in! I am getting married in 5 weeks (probably wont loose much in that time but hey... at least i can be a bit more fit for the honeymoon)

Im so annoyed with myself. in the past 9 months i put on 8 kgs i think its because i moved out of my mums house and i just love being able to go food shopping for myself. you see so many yummy things and nothing stops you from buying them!

My starting weight: 72kg

My target weight: 64kg

ok well my best waightloss tip i can give anyone is just think about what your eating. i have compleatly cut all fast food out of my dining! if i am at a shopping centre and we have to buy lunch i will go to subway or to more of a carvery type shop and get a sandwich. it fills you up more and you are saving a bunch of caliries (sp).

today i will drag myself to the gym and drink more water!:chef:

[~EmsMum~]

my start weight is 90
goal weight is at least 75

[Niki]

well so far today i have been good but only done 15mis of exercise, im thining about takign jake swimming later which is kinds exercise and mayb going for a walk althou its a lil hot at the moment

[woven_wings]

Oh dear! I just ate nutella on my toast... without even thinking. Grr this is hard.

Im too buggered to go to the gym but I reckon I have done more than 30mins exercise at Kindy today. Will try the gym tomorrow morning.

I drank a bottle and a half of water today tho, so thats better! Just have to train the bladder now lol!

If you were closer Mel I would SO go for walks with you! How far are you away?

[*Chels*]

Well Im lucky I have a fantastic walking buddy!We walked for 2 hours 2day:eek: We are taking the kids swimming on Thursday.We are going to take their floaty things,put them in front of us and push them along.Then we will do a few laps.
Now that its warmer we are going to alternate swimming and walking days.
I have just brought new jeans but I still have the muffin top hanging over,same with another pair of pants I have:banghead:

Hey hunni! I am an hour from adelaide, but I am there almost every day! Why is that?

[woven_wings]

I might actually be motivated with someone to walk/gym with. My friends are all too poor to afford a gym membership and lots arent too keen on walking...

Move closer Mel! Hehe!

[blessedmummy]

yeah... i wish i had a walking buddy..... maybe im just to lazy... :o

[BlueButterfly]

How about you move closer to me! haha I have the same problem about friends...too lazy! :thumbsdown: I wish there was something that we could work out! :crying: Losing weight is so hard and lonely when you're on your own!

[Niki]

im another thats needs a walking buddy :o

[Mummymia]

Same here girls,even harder when you dont know anyone in the state! I might have to start door knocking!:rolleyes:

[cheezelkat]

I'm not doing so well.... I saw coffee scrolls in my pantry and that was it :o

[Havana_Face]

hey girls, well it was about 2pm yesterday and i realised that i hadnt had any water yet so i decided to drinkii a liter of water in about 10 mins. I then had to go pic DF from work and was sooooooo busting that i had to pull over and ask someone to use their toilet (no shops around) It was sooooo embarrising. today i will just start earlyer so i dont have to do that again:no:

[woven_wings]

Hi ladies,

TODAY... I had a nice veggie soup for lunch... blah!! And rice crackers. Breakfast was fruit and healthy cereal. Ran around for an hour with the kindy children in the garden and I am POOPED!

Tonight is healthy home-made spag bol! BUT every wednesday I usually get a sundae at Maccas at night when I take my disabled friend out... dunno how I'll go????

Drank about 600mL of water today... better than nothing I guess!

Oh but when I got home from Kindy today I was so drained that I had toast with a little bit of honey.... is that bad?

[BlueButterfly]

No...thats not bad! We can allow for a slip up now and then! :devil6:

My water intake is terrible...definitely something I need to work on! :yes:

[~EmsMum~]

[blessedmummy]

[Niki]

i did an hours walking today :D

[woven_wings]

How has everyone been going?

Im going to weigh and measure tomorrow... it is not always the weigh, you can go down in measurements and not in weight... so thats important too. Although I reckon I have put on or stayed the same this week as Im not really trying.

Had a 'fat day' today... went into a clothing store and hated the look of everything on me... so went home. Had a veggie tea tho... so that was good and I got of the bus 2 stops early and walked as well as running about with the kids at Kindy.

[blessedmummy]

well..ive been doin rather bad for the past week.... eating WAY to much junk! hungry jacks, maccas, chicken treat, chocolate, coke... :o i think i'll need to loose 20kg now!! :crying:

[Niki]

i went swimming again today so i hope thats helping me

[Niki]

i ate some chooclate cake with dinner :D but hey im only human and it was mud cake *drools*

[Desertress]

Hi Girls I hope its not to late for me to join in with you as im am desperatly trying to loose some weight as well.

Im basically in the same boat with having no motivation to excersice and no self controll with what i eat... or in some cases dont eat. I am sick of looking at myself and being disgusted and its starting to effect alot of aspect of my life.

Am seriously considering join up to a gym but then i just have to push myself to go... and get used to putting ds2 in gym childcare:crying:

I know i eat to much junk so i am going to start fresh on monday(even tho i try this nearly every monday LoL)Cut out as much junk as possible.... actually start eating 3 decent meals a day instead of 1 or 2 and up my water intake significantly. I drink around a liter every night but i dont think that counts.

Anyhow i hope i can get myself going this time. Good luck to all you girls as well...

Oh i forgot to add my start weight it 70kg
Goal weight is 58kg

[Ashleigh<3]

Hello lovely ladies!

I need to loose about 10-15 kilos to be a healthy BMI, I'm already back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm not as healthy as I could IYKWIM? Would be nice to drop a dress size, Or two.

Currently size 14, but after delivering the little one, My hips have obviously broadened and I can't even fit into the size 14 pants I try on at the store, when before I was in between 12's & 14's.

Would love to loose more, I can really empathise with everyone on this thead, we all seem to be in the same boat, which will hopefully make it much easier for us all!:fingerscrossed:

I'm going to try out the more small meals during the day, right now it's hard to even find time to eat with this little one latched on 24-7-Her demand feeding is quite hard to get around when it comes to eating.
I usually only have time to make a sandwhich or toast during the day time. I'd like to try the small meals, because I have heard much about the small, frequent meal diets boost your metablosim, therefore fat is quicker to burn off over time.
I dont eat white bread, Haven't for the past three years.
Of course I have when its the every now and then junk food-take away hamburgers etc. But bread wise at home- Which I tend to be at 24-7, I eat wholegrain breads.
I really buy into that low GI deal. Much healthier, White bread is loaded with sugars so ladies, toss it aside?
You can now buy a white bread-low GI, Some people say it doesn't taste the same but I suppose you wouldn't know the difference if you're used to low GI foods.
I've been keeping a container of nuts and dried fruits, soy chips and other healthy snacks- low in sugar mainly- beside my bed So I can snack in between meals, whilst i'm feeding Chloe.
Heres another thing i'd like to add, -FOR THE LOVERS OF BUTTER/MARGARINE SPREADS. My parent's recently tried that low cholestorrol (sp?) pro activ spread. And they've both lost about 5 kilos each just within about four weeks. That stuff really helps!:yes:

I was thinking maybe we could all have our add on/bits of advice in this thread too, So if we're all game and dedicated enough to try it, may just keep us all motivated? :)

Good luck ladies! Take care!

[youngmumof1]

Hey ladies,

Just wondering if there was a walking group or any sort of excercise group for mums in townsville for mums with you children as my son is 6 and a half months, as well as for young mum too as im only 20.

thanks ladies

[Minke]

Youngmumof1 - have PM'd you :D

Everyone else, would love to join... Have a few kilos that are sticking.... But

Alas, i'm no longer a young mum :p

Good Luck to you all!

[BlueButterfly]

71.2! :smiliedance: Not the big drop I wanted (about a kilo- 800g), but its better than putting weight back on! So any weight loss is good enough I suppose! Wouldnt it be nice if your clothes just hang off you when you diet for a week! Oh how easy it would be.

I could definitely do better this week, so hopefully I'll see a better decrease next monday!

How is everyone else going?

[~EmsMum~]

me = not so good I ate maccas yesterday

This week my goal is to have no maccas AT ALL :yes:

[BlueButterfly]

me = not so good I ate maccas yesterday

Why do they make it taste so good! :( Its just not fair!

Could you imagine if all food was equally as healthy as the next! I could live off of chocolate, icecream, all the good things and still be vibrantly healthy! :yelclap:

If only Mel...If only! :rolleyes:
