@ elle: welcome back! i would suggest use your own scales as well. and use the same to compare your weekly progress. usually, those weighing scales in hospitals/clinics give heavier weight. i just don't know why. maybe they have something on it before we weigh? LOL!
Hi ladies wow I totally have been reading up on your progresses just haven't updated on here for ages. Well I'm using my own scales and eating a lot more healthier these days walking every second day in between , work, uni and of course running after my son. Will do my stats tomorrow :) Belle I love your coincidentally plan I think that's what you called it such a good idea :) and Dana G you're doing so well as with the rest of you girls and guys :)
This morning I was 65kg which is a 8kg loss since I last updated (put some on then lost some) it's a slow but rewarding process. I'm trying not to think as it as a diet more of a lifestyle change being healthy thing so I don't get too obsessed with the number on the scales so it's working so far but its a slower process then I'd like :)
I'm glad I finally came on here again I will try to pop in more :) Keep up the great work and welcome to the newbies who've joined!
Well done Elle, you have the right attitude anyway, making it a lifestyle change. I too have not lost as quickly as I would have liked and have gone up more times than I like too, but at the end of the day if we lose it slowly it will stay off.

Welcome Back Elle, We have missed you very much. I am pleased to see that you are doing very well. Its so good to see dieting in a different way, rather than looking at it as a diet. Its a lifestyle choice now. I mean everytime I go near a cake shop I look at the cakes than look straight at my weight and I can't believe just how much junk I ate and than have to take it off.
Thank you so much for the wonderful support I'm feeling rather guilty right now I just had a bit too much to eat *sigh* I know it's only one slip up but it makes me feel soooo bad. Well done Dana for fighting temptation its really hard but worth the end results. Just got on the scales 63kg haven't been that low for ages! So very happy with that though hoping my naughty afternoon wont stop my good track now. :)

Don't worry you will be fine. I over ate a couple of weeks ago just by eating 2 sanga's everyday. Keep up the good work hon.
thanks girls Ive got a house full of kids right now so its keeping things interesting ill pop back with scale and measurements later tonight when they've gone :)
Okay Elle that'd be good. I had a few bad days last week and I still managed to lose 300 gm which is a miracle really. It must be because my fairy godmother (dinkid) got me some more acai slim.

I want to have a fairy godmother too, who will be sending me a/s constantly. Lol
that is so sweet of you dinkid :) well i gained 2kg so nor more over eating no matter how good the food is. Maybe a kilo was fluid loss :( either way I was out walking today and you know what worries me the most people looking and watching im so embarrassed. im too embarrassed to go out walking in public how sad is that!
probably does not help i look 18 but it makes me so self conscious you know?!
anyway i bought myself some new clothes and they're a bit tight so im def using then as more motivation.
Elle, you should not be embarrassed about walking, atleast you are trying. My mum is overweight and she won't do a dam thing about her weight at all. She has already had 2 bypass ops.

I dont have anybody Summer so I need a fairy godmother. I have a few really good friends that spoil me. If it weren't for people like Dinkidi I think I'd crawl into a hole and hide.

Thanks girls, yes belle you do have some great friends on here and also near you I'm assuming. Just quickly stopping by before I put the wee one to bed after telling him 30 times to go to bed lol. Then I'm off to study for my exam. Will pop by tomorrow am with weight and measurements. Nite everyone
got on the scales this morning all my hard work seems to go undone I gained. I dont know how but I gained 3kg, in 2 days? Can't be fluid retention as I was naught and hardly drank yesterday so hmm oh well I'll have to write down everything I'm eating and see if I slip up I dont remember eating anything naughty but maybe the snacking I have done lately in between meals is not being worked off.
I will not let this set me back I'll keep working hard and improving.
66kg today I know thats nothing compared to others who are doing an amazing job but for me its well hard. I used to think 50 was scary then got pregnant and healthy now it's like what happen. sorry guys having a down day.
Elle, how could you have gained 3 kilos in 2 days???? Get back on track hon and you will do fine. I know you are going well. Remeber we all have slip backs.
Because I'm not getting enough sleep and I'm in pain I'm finding it hard. I think when you have a bad day or even if its a bad week you shouldn't beat yourself up about it. just put it behind you and start afresh.

I'm not sure but that's what the scales said, I've been so good the past two days exercising portion controlling and healthy eating even skipped lasagne today and just had the salad that was will power it smelled divine (at a family do) ill see what happens going to weight one a week from now on.
I know it's hard to weigh yourself once a week but your weight can fluctuate every day of the week depending on what you eat and how much you exercise.

Wow that's the discipline Elle! Keep it up!
For months of desiring to lose weight I've realized that having mental discipline keeps your mind strong especially when you are consistently challenged. By properly programming your mind, you become able to overcome bad eating habits, and your energy level will naturally increase because you’ve stuck to a healthier diet. At first I don't have the discipline to avoid eating too much and stuffs but when I realized that I need to act for myself I decided to build my discipline little by little. LOL! Just a share
hey sorry ladies been a bit down lately, weight wise its pretty much down a kilo and staying put I need to mix up my routine a bit to break the platue i think its called cant remember lol but still doing excellent food wise. Hope you're all doing excellent too
