Whoo hoooo!!! After weeks of trying to hit the 20kg mark, I finally did it today with a loss of 500grams. The last couple of days I have fallen sick with a cold and for the first time in 22 weeks I have been feeling really unmotivated. The thought even crossed my mind (although fleetingly) to give up! Luckily today I reached my goal, and it has made me more determined to trudge along to my next goal, which is getting under 100kg. Only 1.9kg to lose to do this!
The kids came to my meeting with me and were delighted with everyone clapping me when the extra star was put on my bookmark. At the meeting I bought a points calculator (to take on our Qld trip with me - only 27 sleeps to go) and a new recipe book - can't wait to try some new things for dinner!
AND, I have just gone and bought some new bras because I was sick of hitching mine up all the time due to them becoing too big and I am pleased to say I have gone from size 24G to size 20F!!! WHOO HOOOOO!
Also, one of my best friends, Chris, is extremely excited about the new bag she bought and received in the post today. She wanted me to post a picture of it here on my blog for everyone to see. AND she has names it "Fanta". Yes, she has names for her handbags and even some of her shoes! And yes, she is a nutter!!!!
I am so proud of myself!! I have stuck to this Weight Watchers program for 21 weeks now! It's a record!! I would love to know how many times I have previously joined, and I think most times I never went back after about 6 weeks. I seriously think this would be about the tenth time I have joined, and thankfully, it will be my last!!!
So here I am at week 21 and I lost another kilo this week! Initially I was extremely disappointed as I really wanted to get to my 20kg this week, but after speaking to a few friends about it, I have realised I am being silly. I have lost 19.5kgs and I am feeling great!!! Life is good!!We also had a dinner this week with the group Greg did the Kokoda Track with in July. It was great to hear the stories and even better to see everyone's pictures (our camera died just after Greg arrived in PNG so he only had a couple of photos). I thought I would post some pics of Greg and Papua New Guinea that I like. I had forgotten how proud I am of him!!
A couple of my friends and I have set ourselves up on a "6 Kilos in 6 weeks Challenge" to see if we can shift that much before I get in my togs on the sunny Gold Coast. A big ask, but I will give it a try! I will update my progress here every week.
This morning I woke up and weighed myself on my home scales and it showed a 200 gram gain. I was absolutely devastated! I have been on track all week, and made an effort to exercise on days when I usually don't, so I was very upset that I didn't lose! Had my official weigh in at WW and it showed a gain of 300 grams. However, I am more positive about it now. That 300g could have just been the large Gloria Jeans coffee I had before weigh in, or the fact I needed to go to the toilet, or something little like that. Anyhow, I now have 1.5kg to lose before my 20kg goal and I am definitely, no questions asked, going to lose that this week!
Below is a chart of my weight loss progress so far. Onwards and downwards!!!!
Well it's my 34rd birthday today, and although it was a bit of a shit day, I was glad for the fact that I weighed less today than I did on my 33rd birthday! And looking forward to my 35th birthday when I will be a skinnie minnie!
Anyway, I had hubby take a photo of me. I thought I looked rather nice today, and isn't it terrible when you look at a photo of yourself and all you see is yourself as FAT! Oh well, not for long!!! Think it's time I updated my wardrobe!!!
WHOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I am absolutely over the moon as I had a loss of 1.7kg this week! I am soooo happy and quite a bit shocked actually as I have been sick with a cold and struggled to exercise at all this week. Soooooo, I have to really make an effort this week and try & shed the next 1.2kg to make the 20kg goal. My aim for this goal was next week, so I will be pleasantly surprised if I am on target.Also, have posted some pics of me on my wedding in March 2002. I have no idea how much I weighed then, but I know it was under 100kg. I tried my wedding dress on last weekend whilst having a clean out of my wardrobe, and it doesn't fit at all - too small! I'll look forward to the day when it's too big on me! So, the pics are as follows:-- Moi with Greg (both tired & drunk at the end of the night). I found out a week later I was pregnant with Paige!!! And she was born 9 months to the day after our wedding.
- Moi with an 11mth old Callum. All the boys wore kilts, so Callum was very cute in his! Mind you he was hospitalised with croup the next day so we spent the next night sleeping together in a hospital bed!
- Moi & my Matrons of Honour - Jenny & Penny (no I didn't purposely pick them to rhyme!)
- Moi & my massive boobs! They never really recovered from breast feeding and I am looking forward to them getting smaller!
Feeling sick and miserable with a cold, I succumbed and ate the Giant Caramello Koala that has been calling out to me for the last 2 weeks! It was so yummy as I slowly ate it, but afterwards, I felt sooooo sick that I thought I was going to vomit. Oh well, at least I know I won't want to eat another one in a hurry again!!!
This week I had a great loss of 1.1kg. I was so happy, especially after the big day I had on Saturday with friends over for a visit. I catered with a nice low fat antipasto platter, but consumed 2 bottles of wine!!! These friends stayed 8 1/2 hours, so it turned out a big one! I was very diligent for the rest of the week, which obviously made up for it! (It was also TTOM).
Anyhow, just wanted to post a picture of the Giant Cadbury Caramello Koala I bought 2 weeks ago and have had sitting on my bedroom dresser ever since. It is worth 4.5 points on WW and I really can't see the value of wasting that many points on it! However, I think I might treat myself and eat it when I have hit the 20kg goal, or at least share it with my hubby and kids then. But, just wanted to show how strong I have been to see it there every day & resist it! It is one of my favourite treats!!!
