    LOL yes it's almost Noon here :) I'd love to come visit!! NYC is fun, but I'd never want to live there - too fast paced for this hippie girl LOL

    Good evening OMADer!!!

    I just checked my calendar and OMG! OMG! OMG! by tomorrow I will be in my Week 40 of OMAD and I have nothing much to show :( Quite a few friends of mine commented that I have been trying to "diet" since last July and till today, I still look pretty much the same and why do I even try since nothing is happening. I couldn't be bothered to argue with them but just told them that I think its a huge achievement as I was wearing size 14 last July and now I am wearing size 10, wishing them a Happy Easter and walked away. All that happened in our little mini mart in the morning :( I wish I can shout out loud like everyone else...." I have loss 40kg, I have loss 30kg, etc" However, I can only say I have loss 8kg so far. That's how my Good Friday went today :( My #1 was with me doing grocery shopping and I nearly died when I heard him saying quietly "Those little piece of *kitten*! Karma will come back to you!" I really had a talk with him in the car as I really do not like that behaviour from my #1 but he said that these women are nasty like *kitten* and no one can ever treat my Mama like that! That brought tears to my eyes as my darling son is so sweet but still...that behaviour is just ain't right.

    Its going to a trying weekend for me....lots of eating, family outings, etc. Wish me luck!

    Happy Easter everyone and stay safe!

    @Brendalea69 - Thank you❤️. I think it I should explain more. These girls were my classmates but they are not like my BBFs. For us here in our little town with only 1 Primary School and 1 High School, everyone are just friends. I think everyone knows everyone. The skinny ones will always talk bad and put down those who are fatter and bigger size then them. It's really sad but in a small town like mine, it's norm. In bigger towns, people are just too busy with their own lives do this. Have a Happy Easter❤️🐰

    I AGREE @Brendalea69 !!!! I'm "that mom" that has a hard time not laughing at the swearing if it's something like that (whatever, they'll survive LMAO) - in this case, ROCK ON LITTLE ONE! Protecting mama is more important than an innocuous word that we give meaning to :D

    @mistymeadows2005 - I am proud of my #1 and love him to the moon and back and I sure hope he knows that. It was hard not to laugh when I heard it, I can tell you that... :lol:

    Good afternoon OMADers!

    Its a beautiful Saturday here with a temperature of 28°C and I am really happy as I can finally dry my clothes today. That means when I come home from work tonight, I will be folding a mountain high of laundry. :( But at least I got the laundry done and there's no more dirty clothes in the laundry basket for now. Happy that I have taken out and washed all my kids school winter clothing as they start school next Tuesday :)

    Folding laundry is my least favorite chore by a long shot! I'm sure it'll feel good to get it all done!! You're so close to this month's goal weight! Amazing!

    Have the happiest Easter with your loved ones!!

    Ahhhh...I LOVE your son <3 You have done fantastically this year! 2 sizes down! Wow! Look...I got to the weight I'm at by gaining just 2 pounds a year...year after year. You turned the clock back by many years and that is a huge accomplishment. Just keep being uniquely you. You are loved by your whole family and they would not consider trading you in for one of the nasty girls. That goes for every single one of us on this forum. Let's just strive to be our healthiest possible in order to be here for everyone that holds us sooooo dearly in their hearts <3<3<3

    Happy Easter. I think you have done great so far! Put it into perspective. 8kg is a lot! Also you are a SMALL, so obviously its gonna be a lot slower for you. Be proud that you didnt have to loose 30 kgs like for example me, I wish i would never have become so big. You will reach your goal in no time! See, you thought you can not get below 60 and now you are 58.8! Thats awesome.

    Kat's spitting truth over here :smiley:

    I agree with Ned too...doing laundry is easy until I hafta fold it and put it away :D that part rarely happens lol
  • jadepearl
    jadepearl Posts: 3,113 Member
    @NedlySunshine - Thank you <3 Yes, I really don't like folding laundry but its a job which I have to do 3x per week. I have train my kids to put their clothes properly and at the right places. Next stop, train my kids to fold their own laundry...lol

    @katjustkat - Thank you <3 I am hearing what you say and when I listen to Dr Fung's videos, he says the same thing. You took year to become this big, so it will take time to become small again. I keep reminding myself that but sometimes, its just so hard :( Yes, I love my son to the moon and back but as a mother, I still need to teach my son correctly :wink:

    @Brendalea69 - Thank you <3

    @SoulSisterSoulBrother - Thank you <3 I hear ya and I know that's true but you know, sometimes, we just want to see the loss now...silly little old me... :lol:

    @mistymeadows2005 - Thank you <3 With 4 people in a family, laundry piles up quickly. So, if I don't do it, we will end up with no clothes...lol

    Week 40
    CW: 59kg

    Good evening OMADers!

    Have been cleaning up the house after the long Easter weekend, getting everything ready for kids as they went back to school on Tuesday with their winter uniforms and today we celebrate ANZAC Day. Tomorrow another day of school and with a blink of an eye, weekend is here again. It has been a busy busy week for me but I survived.

    I really didn't want to weigh myself as I know I ate like a piggy during Easter long weekend but I really tried my best to eat low calories on Tues and Wed. So, I was really hoping that I will not see 60kg on the scale today. Thankfully, my 2 days of low calories worked. Mr Scale gave me 59kg today :) Not too bad considering I ate everything on Easter Sat right up to Easter Monday... :lol:

    I am going to incorporate some exercise into my daily routine again. Remember when I was exercising every day and my weight just plateaued. I am hoping that it will not happen again as I just love my zumba exercises. My kids said that its not about exercising, its just coz I love dancing... :lol: Will start slow as my body is pretty stiff after stopping for a few months. Hopefully, I will not ache too much tomorrow.

    Week 41
    CW: Did not weigh-in

    Good evening OMADers😘

    Its about 11.15pm now and I am still half way folding my laundry. This is my life.... 🤣🤣🤣

    Tried doing Zumba yesterday but couldn't finish it as I was out of breath and my asthma came knocking. Should have done the low impact😅😅😅 Got up today aching all over but still have to go to work😕 Well, on top of that Aunt Flo came for a visit too😔 So, I decided not to weigh-in as it will just be bad news.

    I really don't like AF as it makes me crave for more carbs & more junk food. Tomorrow will be another bad day as its fast food day. My kids just love McDonald's, KFC, etc. Wish me luck☘️🍀😲

    Take care and have a wonderful weekend 🌹❤️👍

    My challenge for this year...
    UGW = 50kg /110lbs by Dec 2019
    CW = 59kg / 129.8lbs
    So...I have another 9kg / 19.8lbs. Its so hard for me to loose even 1kg a month. Currently, I am trying to do low carbs but fail big time😭😒 However, am going to try till I get it. My biggest challenge is to loose more than 1kg per month so that I can reach my UGW by December this year. I only have 8 months to achieve it and at this rate, I might just fail. 😒😖😞😩

    My apologies for my little vent.

    Don't beat yourself up over having too many carbs if low carb is what you're going for, sometimes we stray. I've noticed, for me, that including a lot of healthy fats in my meals helps tremendously.

    Awww... bless your #1. I know you don't want your kids to act like that, but he was angry for you which I'm sure just melted your heart. So sweet.
    Add in more fat to your diet. Low carb can be difficult if you're not eating enough of the right foods to help you feel satisfied. Plus while you're adjusting to not eating so much, your hunger might amp up. My advice would be to just eat. Eat something low carb of course, but eat until the hunger goes... IF you're having that problem that is.

    jadepearl Posts: 3,113 Member
    @wsandy8512 - Thanks❤️ Am trying to see if low carbs is a way to go for me. Just got to find the right formula🤓🤔

    @LiLee2018 - Oh yes, my darling #1 is a sweet and loving little guy. Love him to the moon and back💖 Am trying to see if low carbs is suitable for me. Still adjusting on how much carbs is just right for me🤔

    Good evening OMAD-ers😘

    Got up this morning and decided to weigh myself and so glad that Mr Scale is being nice to me. Still a little sad that I didn't reach my April GW of 58kg (127.6lbs) but at least I am still in the 58 region. Am going to try, try again in the month of May.

    You're doing amazing. We all want that weight to come off quick, but sometimes it just doesn't happen fast. You've kept it up for this long though and you're willing to change things up which says a lot about how strong you are. Keep going! :)

    Good afternoon OMAD-ers!

    I told myself that I just have to get a number from Mr Scale today as its the 1st day of May so that I can go from there. Mr Scale really surprised me today...58.2kg. I will gladly take that Mr Scale, thank you very much :)

    I have been trying to add some exercise into my daily routine and I must say that after several months of not exercising, its really tough :( But, I will start slow and hopefully by 2 weeks, I will be able to do the 45 mins routine without huffing and puffing.... :lol:
