MY FAMILY XXX

Lost 1.5kg yay

Well i was stoked last night .....when i got on the scales and id lost 1.5 kg ...Ive had a weird month with weight loss monthlies were late gained 800gms one week for no apparent reason then lost the 800grams the next week then had a 200gm loss.....so this weeks 1.5kg was welcome as Ive worked hard all month so was a bit off about the losses so far so I'm guessing i had excess fluid but happy now Ive lost 14.7kg all up nearly half way....a bit excited that ill one day next year be wearing my favourite jeans....have to get tea ready...the girls have gone shopping with their friend....so quiet night tonight

WEDDING TODAY

Well today was my nieces wedding.......it was beautiful poor girl couldn't get into the church for 1/2 hour after start time due to thunder storm.....but all eventually came together.....had some lovely comments on my weight loss was nice ....surprised myself ....didn't have a beer that's a record for me wedding and no beers lol.....i chose well of the meals i had plenty of points saved as wasn't sure on what id get had a little desert just a taste as was something too rich in points to have it all ......would have luved too though but thought about how id feel guilty and the points value was through the roof so tasted and counted points i was planning on having a little desert thinking it might be ice cream or fruit salad but no it was the yummiest cheese cake ......so tasted and that was enough as very rich so didn't feel like id missed out and i had 5.5 points left so think i did really good .....i lost the 800gms from last weeks 800gm gain and still no ttotm yet so who knows what will happen this week....i feel like i have lost except for the pumped up boobs lol anyways will have to post some wedding pics when get some sorted......going to have an early one well its 11pm that's early for me.....so i can get up early for my workout and get back to sewing cheers

was pd but what can you do

Well wasn't happy with weigh in but let it go ......i gained 800gms doing everything i do and have done but its ttotm coming and Ive had a good run every month except for one other.....got on the scales tonight and it appears to have gone again but wont know til Wednesday....i know it was fluid as my lips feel puffy when i retain it....
i went shopping with mum today .....was so disappointed when i got changed in the rooms someone should smash their mirrors they suck big time.......finally have a bra that fits and a new pair of jeans and a new shirt going to a wedding next week i don't do dresses so jeans shirt and vest that's me....every one would fall over if i wore a dress and shoes god i would fall over if i did.
Been doing my workouts as usual drinking my water and sticking to my points still saving my bonus points towards my weight loss.... i really want to get on those scales and see the 800gms gone plus some for last week and this week but with ttotm looming wont hold my breath .......I've been doing around 90 minutes advanced walk aerobics every day and that's what ill try and do every day......just talked to hubby about weight training when I've dropped to 70kg if looking too saggy ....I've decided on a boob job for my 50Th lol hey i might need a face lift instead lol haven't got wrinkles yet just a few lines at my eyes but most likely will when lose all the weight.....cheers

13 kg down woot

Well after Wednesday's s weigh in i lost 700gms i have now lost 13kg woot ......i managed to stay on track not eat my feelings .......exercise is still going on have cut back a bit due to not enough hours in my day at the minute as have so much sewing going on but after i get that all sorted will be doing more again as i do miss it.....
have been missing my brother Rick this last few weeks i think getting close to Xmas makes it harder ...it was his wife's birthday today so me mum and my little sis and another of my brothers went to her place and spent the day with her ....i felt sad inside but didn't show it.....we all got to talk to Rhia their oldest daughter on skype shes in America a new young bride was beautiful to see her and hear her voice..Laura the youngest one came home from school shes in year 12 now a beautiful girl she was her dads best mate growing up....
me and mum put together the choc mouse frosted cake for Helen's birthday cake for morning tea the one from the ww cook book everyone luved it it was sooo yumo.....going to make it for my girls to try I'm sure it will be popular......well Ive had the day off from my work today so have to go get some started well at least get some stuff cut out cheers:)

RIP BEAUTIFUL BROTHER

RICK I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU
YOU WERE SUCH A CRACK UP
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART
LUV YOU
MY BEAUTIFUL BROTHER

3RD AUGUST 1963 -13TH SEPTEMBER 2007


I Only Wanted You
They say memories are golden
Well maybe that is true I never wanted memories
I only wanted you
A million times I needed you
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
In life I love you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
No one could ever fill
If tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again

THIS POEM WAS SENT TO ME
BY FRIEND DEE THANK YOU
have no idea who wrote it but its lovely

today was so hard:(

Well today was just so hard.....Rick went to heaven one year ago today ive been crying most of this week ..... today s been the hardest.....i want to hear him laugh i want to hug him.....miss you little bro more than i could have ever imagined.....life is very sad without you.....what else can i say....life is a lot sadder without him.........im amazed im still on track with my eating i have handled the emotional eating all week.......ive now lost 6.6 kg.....am happy with that.....cheers

finally made the 5kg mark

well im stoked i lost 1.1 kg for this week yay my weight today is 83.3kg ive now lost 5.4 kg so i got my 5kg book mark at weight watchers am really pleased with myself......everything is starting to pay off now....im excited couldnt even describe how im feeling right now wish i could bottle this feeling .... im feeling great...... mums back today from america just waiting til she gets home so i can go see her ......have missed her heaps ...i'm enjoying my workouts as now have about 7 leslie sansone dvds to choose from the one i did today wow what a work out got up a hell of a swet ......am going to post some really horrible before shots that my daughter took when i joined weight watcher .....when i get some descent now shots ....lol.....gee i looked sad fat bloated uncomfortable yuk.....i was all that onwards and downwards yay cheers

SMALL LOSS BUT HAPPY

Well I lost weight again it was only 100gms but because i didn't cheat and did my exercise hey even increased my time to an hour of walk aerobics thats 2 x 2 miles walk aerobics which i worked it out to be 6.4 km oh my god......my chubby short legs did that woot...... so losing that amount I know there must be a good reason for it .....I'm expecting my monthlys so i'm guessing that's why so the weight loss will catch up eventually......all in all had a great week......my plan is going well I'm pretty sure I'll be at goal by the time slimmer of the year comes up again..........i've never really wanted anything for myself i always put me last so I think it's time for me........well have to get some sewing done and shopping i so have a busy day cheers

Ive lost weight yay

Hey I'm feeling good today i weighed in at ww last night and lost 2.4 kg......I'm pretty stoked i must say .....I worked dam hard for it to so it didnt just fall off.....the meeting was great and really interesting we talked about how different people need different foods to keep them energized........i'd been thinking along those lines .....so was good to hear someone explain how it all worked for them and has done so for 10 years .....our leader for the night said time your foods see how long different foods work for you before your hungry ....like porridge i can go 3 hours on a serve of porridge but on a different cereal would be hungry within an hour and a half our leader talked of hour if she goes shopping and eats say an apple to keep hunger away its no good to her as with in 10 mins shes hungry.......but if she has a pear she can go an hour on that.......so its all about what works for me so im timing and listening to my body.......i needed a new way to look at the food process thing....as well its all about when you eat as well dont leave all the points til night spread them out so you have plenty of energy through out the day......
ive shopped ive eaten ived cleaned house and ive exercised now i'm going to do some sewing for my market on sunday.......cheers

My niece is getting married to a beautiful boy from Seattle........ she says today she expects me to be 10 kg lighter by the time she gets back with a smile on her face...

Well I'm Back

It's been forever since i have been on here......gained more weight couldn't get a grip on my weight loss or my life.......so have just joined weight watchers unlimited.Am looking forward to first weigh in as have my eating under control as well as exercise never seem to manage doing both always one or the other.This time i'm determined to get my weight off im going to enter slimmer of the year.....even if i don't win just being able to enter is my goal ....would crap myself if i won i don't like being on show even when thin......lol.......well have to go do some work on the sewing machine.........will try and get on here more often so i can read my effort and feelings when i'm thin

Everythings Great

Well I haven't been on here for a few days......but not because I'm down or not sticking to program just flat out looking after things here I've been exercising every day sticking to points plan and sewing madly.
Hey Karen thanks for stopping by yep it was my brother that passed away's best mate that was bitten by the brown snake he was on the news a bit a talk back radio lol he's all good now .Now we can kick his butt oh and he's my x hubby from way back we were 18 so way back so i can really kick it lol just happy he made it.
I'm really happy with myself this week I'm on track I know where I'm at this week I seem to have the click that we all need to start the weight loss program.You know the day you get up and you say well this is it this is the day i start and you wake up every day feeling the same and it makes it all so easy.I've been here so many times and almost made it and every time something unclicks i want this time to be the click of all clicks I need this at this point in my life. If i can't make it this time I never can,so my mind is doing over time I'm so feeding it with all positives it's not funny.
Yeah I know I sound crazy but I don't know any other way to explain it.All I know is I'm on track for the first time in a long time and I'm stoked.Cheers x

Well What A Day!

What can i say about today......well i'll start with weigh in i gained big time......1.2kg but instead of staying off track and wollowing in self pitty i had a change of heart. I exercised ,I ate properly not normal reaction for me especially when Ive had a stressful emotional time and didnt turn to food. My brothers best mate has been on ventilator fighting for his life he was bitten twice by a brown snake late yesterday but hes pulled through so great end to bad situation......
Something has clicked inside of me.
I feel really motivated I've been reading my ww books the whole show .I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow to do it all again.....cheers x

Sorry About The Capitals

Hi sorry about using capitals aparently it means im shouting,well i am a rather loud person but i didnt mean to shout im one of 7 down to 5 now so had to grow up being loud to be heard. Anyways ive fixed that problem thanks for that comment I just really didnt think people would read my comments .
Havent been on much this week have been struggling with the voice in my head ,you know that one that tells you your hopeless you cant do it your worth less .Well i think ive kicked his butt out of here .
Im still struggling with Ricks death and lady called Karen left a comment and mentioned a few things i could do when finding it hard to deal .They were all great ideas thanks Karen but i still used the food most of the time.Will try harder and use some of your ideas the next time it happens.Oh and thanks for the hugs :)
I do have my good days and im hoping this is another good start .
I listened to my weight loss hypnosis cd today so all good thoughts to start with......anyone who hasnt tried one i think they are good you seem to have more self esteme nicer thoughts in your head.anyways might be back on today to say how my day went...happy thoughts cheers x
