Have to brag lost 1.8kg this week scales finally showed my good efforts .....Ive lost 18kg now cant believe it i weigh 70.7kg I'm nearly a 60s girl i feel so proud ....i remember sitting at my meeting months ago and a lady saying she'd lost 18kg i remember thinking how great that was to be able to change your life style to be able to lose that its a massive amount....its taken a lot of effort and a complete life style change but its been all worth it i look in the mirror and see me now ...I'm more confident i look healthier i definitely look slimmer Ive put a pic on but its quite a crappy one but i'm putting it on because i can see i look thinner i don't look fat anymore... to me and that's a big thing for me to say .....how good will it be to be at goal i don't think ill sleep that night lol bring on the 60s yay then the 50s bring them on cheers :)))

Night Out

Went out last night ....had a few ales was nice to get out think Ive needed that for a while to break the monotony .....stuck to my points used a few bonus points that id saved still have a heaps i wont use....going by my scales id lost 1kg before i went out and going by my scales today I'm still 1 kg down but who knows what will happen weigh in day ....doesn't matter I'm looking and feeling healthy had my fringe trimmed well thinned it's so thick .... yesterday put a colour in my hair its dark but has a red tinge might take a pic might not lol anyways I'm feeling great today have done my workout this morning I'm going to make french toast for lunch ....then going to get stuck into my sewing with the headphones on and the music blasting no kids till later hubbies asleep for a bit so better wear the head phones lol .. just read my post god i have a boaring life sometimes ...need to spice it up a bit cheers:)

muscle verses fat

A lady said quote "1kg of fat weighs the same as 1kg of muscle, they both weigh a kilogram! Its their volume (or size) that is different. Muscle is heaps denser than fat. A block of fat takes up more space than a block of muscle. So measure away (although plateaus are very frustrating even if you are shrinking).makes sense to me"unquote
Another said quote"The weight verses mass this is correct.. its very interesting to actually see it as well. BUT for a woman to put on muscle mass ( like a lot as in 500 grams in a week) you would be needing to be on a a full protein enriched diet and doing hard out weights and lots of cardio, like training for a body builders comp."unquote I found both statements interesting ..... When I stated 500gms in previous days blog i was only using as an example and yes plateaus also have a lot to do with weight loss being weird....so will keep striving to beat the gain on the scales this muscle verse fat thing is doing my head in cheers

Theory On Why I Dont Lose When Ive Put In a Massive Effort

Yep the theory as far as the weight loss goes i think i know what it is.... the muscle gain ...and i can live with that....apparently muscle and fat weigh the same.....always thought muscle was heavier .....apparently fat takes up more room than muscle so there fore if i lose 500gms in weight (fat weight) one week but have replaced it with 500gms of muscle it wont show on the scales but dose show on the body....and the bonus is that the muscle you have gained burns more kilojoules so your body not only looks better leaner sleeker and fitter it more efficient at burning off what we eat ....so I'm not stressing about the scales anymore i know I'm following the plan to a TEE and doing my fair share of exercise ....and drinking heaps of water ....so who cares what the scales dish out ....I'm gaining my muscle back they ll help lift the saggy bits lol pays to read into stuff i have racked my brain for weeks over the why why why now I'm sure i know why....cheers :))

Feeling Better

Funny what a good night sleep can do ...i feel much more like myself today ....realised I'm happy with my weight loss its showing I'm leaner slimmer healthier fitter what more dose one want...TO BE AT BLOODY GOAL OF COURSE...ill get there eventually all in good time....I'm off to do my workout.. a bit soar especially butt and quads from squats yesterday......so i found the deep muscles that have been hiding lol they ll be looking good in no time now as long as i keep it up ....of course i will... cough cough ...anyways better day today all is good cheers

LOST 100GMS

Weighed in tonight and lost 100grams ....still have 500gms gained last week to get back to where i was....why is it i gain then lose when I'm exercising 2 hours a day eating my amount of points 18 saving the bonus ones drinking my water.......making healthy choices other people have lost doing all that and not had a gain this happened once before and i chucked it in after a while of frustration not going to this time I'm going to battle this one out to the end if it kills me.....got on the boards tonight didn't have much to say though....hope I'm out of this mood tomorrow..... i think i need a day out or a night cheers

WHATS GOING ON

Whats going on with me???? i feel flat ...i gained 600gms last weigh in was a bit peed but got over it as its how i seem to go i gain i lose and lose some more then gain and lose ....weird way to do it but as I'm doing everything as i should will have to roll with it....i have changed my workout routine... so i do an hour in the morning and then another hour in the evening ....thought might shake it up a bit ...did some spot toning as well today.Haven't wanted to get on the ww message boards and i have always wanted to since joining ....I'm in weird place cant stop thinking about my brother rick R.I.P.Hes not coming back and there s not a thing i can do about it ....i don't feel like talking to anyone these days ....talk to mum that's it....maybe ttotm is coming hormones are weird these days ....cry if i read something sad I'm becoming a nutter lol ......
Anyways i weigh in tonight don't think Ive lost i feel like i gained again ....that will really piss me off if do... i have worked harder than i have.....i feel plateaus time is near think might have to eat some of my bonus points ....to me that defeats the purpose might as well not do the extra workout will wait and see....the plus on all this my body has changed i can see my elbows again and my knees are almost back my butt has shrunken heaps ....my daughter asked were my butt had gone lol she said every time she shes me i seemed to have shrunk more....
went shopping yesterday and bought a youths pair of size 5 joggers to wear for $14.88 bargain so my feet are shrinking too...lol....CHEERS
