Ouch sorry to hear that Ames Sad

I am stuck at 71.8kg. I have been quite slack and not eating properly or exercising. I need to get back into it again!!!!!

Ok how slack have I been since the wedding at keeping up to date!?

Ames - OMG I'm glad you're ok! I am in awe of how much you fit into a week!

Amelda - hope you're ok after your hospital stint! Good news to hear that your clothes are feeling looser!

Mands - all the best, you have the best reason to gain weight! Flowers

AFM, I've still been weighing myself despite not having a gym membership (hopefully will have a chance to join up hubby's gym tonight!). Have been quite perplexed, pretty excited, and even a little worried as my weight has plummeted in the last couple weeks - this morning I hopped on the scales to find 60.0kg staring up at me. That's my goal weight! Shocked

I'm not really sure what to point to as the cause; I've not really been behaving THAT well. The only thing I can point to is that I'm having to walk further to and from the bus morning and night. But while I've been without a gym membership I haven't been running so I'm very confused.

But I'm taking it!

wow well done millkat! Very Happy

that is excellent news! Excited

woot woot! Cheer

i would definitely be taking that! Thumbs up

i found last year when i hit a bit of a plateau that taking a break and starting again but doing slightly different things really got me going again, so maybe your body had adjusted to the gym routine, and this new routine is giving you new challenges? keep it up hun! Bow

hi JoM, you're welcome to join us here in our little thread Very Happy

, some of the girls here have been such a great support for me, there's nothing like the trifecta of understanding, encouragement and accountability!

AFM, small change this week. yesterday morning i was 68.7 which i'm quite pleased with. Very Happy

i've been sticking with the exercise program and eating fairly well (mostly... Blush

there might have been a green & black's maya gold moment on sunday... Lick

) and forcing myself to drink plenty of water, i had forgotten how much easier it is in summer to stick to it in the warm, but in winter i just want hot tea!!! Coffee

so fingers crossed it's the start of a slow but steady trend towards 67, which my wii fit says is my 'ideal' weight with a BMI of 22! Cross fingers

so 1.7 to go!!!!

go team! Cheer

Yay Ames for the drop. Every little bit helps! Feels tough sometimes when you're so close to your goal, but I reckon you can do it! Very Happy

And as for me..... I've dropped another 1.5kg to hit 58.5kg. Shocked

I'm under my goal weight, which I had sworn to myself I would never ever ever let myself get under, and didn't really believe it was possible for me to get under. So now I'm officially FREAKED OUT. It could have been worse - I was lower than that - but luckily ( Whistle

) there were cupcakes and chocolate on Saturday night at a friend's place.

But that said, my measurements are all over the place - my boobs have shrunk a little but my waist and hips have gone up a bit this week. I'm starting to think that I'm losing muscle, not fat because I haven't really been working out more than once a week.

According to my spreadsheet I've got a BMI of 21.1 and Body Fat of 25.67% (I'm not sure though what is an 'ideal' fat %)

well time to post and i am so upset and angry at myself it's not funny. this morning i was 70.1 and i broke down in tears. Crying or Very sad

i don't understand, i haven't really changed anything - in fact, i've upped the exercise and am making better food choices - yet here it is, broad as daylight. i am so ashamed. i fought so hard to lose all that weight and to see it creeping back on is so depressing. the only thing i can think that is fundamentally different is how miserable i am at work. and i'm talking truly miserable, crying most days. when i was strung out doing those grants, i was miserable but also really stressed which i think helped keep me going (if that makes sense) whereas now i'm just unhappy all the time. Sad

i'm so angry at myself for letting it happen. i was so positive about my weight, about being healthy, i always had loads of energy. now i can't give a damn. is there something wrong with me?!?!

i've got no idea how to get out of this hole i'm in. i hate being here, and feel so lost. has anyone got any ideas, hints, tips, suggestions? Help

Hi All, I have posted on here since pre-wedding (Nov 2009) its been a long time. I had lost about 7kg before my wedding (65kg) training close to 10x a week (3x personal training sessions, 3 x gym sessions, netball and basketball and jogging) it all got a bit crazy and a bit too much but it meant that I could eat anything I wanted which was good. Over 6 months later I weighed myself and hadn't realised that I put most of it back on and was upto 70kg I am still doing sport but only personal trainingx1, gym x1, netballx 1 and basketball x1 and taking my dog for walks. So 2 weeks ago I decided that I need to kick up the butt and overhaul my really bad eating. my partner had just attended some seminars on weight loss for work and got lots of free samples of weight loss shakes so I got him to buy me a big tub and almost 2 weeks later on a fairly strict eating plan I am down to 68kg so it seems to be working. It seems as though eating is as important as exercise. I said I will give it a solid go for 2 months and hopefully get the results.

Ames you shouldnt get dishearted about your progress because it will just build into a negative cycle. Celebrate your achievements to date and I have seen your pics, you look fab!! and don't put too much pressure on yourself. We all reach plateaus sometimes and sometimes you need to give your body a rest if you are doing too much and once you get back into it you will see results again. The main thing is you are on the right track to a healthy lifestyle! keep it up and stay positive

thanks xtc, you're right, i need to be more positive. i know it's because i've been so unhappy lately so it's hard to get into a positive mindset. i'm just going to give it everything i've got for the next 6 week until our holidays and whatever will be will be, i'll get there eventually again!

just checking in, even though it's just me in here hehehe! Angel

well after a strict 2 week regime i managed to lose 0.7 and get down to 69.4 which made me feel much better. Very Happy

i'm trying to stick to it but struggling a little with so much going on in my life right now! Hit head

i'm leaving my job in 2 1/2 weeks which means i have SO MUCH to do before then it's ridonkulous! we're off to Europe for 4 weeks straight after that and we still have to organsie so much of that trip! and then once we get back i start as a PhD student with a pretty full on calendar and not much income (thank god for the scholarship though!). Rolling Eyes

so yeah, lots and lots of stress and worry and exhaustion in the next couple of weeks! Hit head

my goal is really just to make sure i don't put any weight ON, then just relax on holidays and restart once we get back and life is back to a less stressful routine! Thumbs up
