Great news! Just see the tendency - you are down from your dreaded 60. This is how my wloss works as well. :0) Be happy.1

@volgirl1322 - Oh yes, zumba is a wonderful way for me to let down my hair and have some fun
@LiLee2018 - Yup, I am trying to get back to zumba...
So far, by 20 mins I am huffing and puffing
@SoulSisterSoulBrother - You are so right
No more 60s 
Just have to keep going and never give up

Week 41
CW: 58.1kg (127.8lbs)
Good afternoon OMAD-ers!
We had a very bad storm yesterday night and a little tornado ripped through a caravan park which is around 45 mins from my little town
Thank goodness no one was injured! Went to do my grocery shopping today and was delighted to see some yummy persimmon fruits. Yeah, its back in season! I love these babies
Managed to do nearly 20 mins of zumba last evening before I was huffing and puffing. Felt good about it as it has been ages....its good to be back even though I am still not 100% fit yet. I will get there
I also jumped onto my little scale and am happy to see that I am now at 58.1kg (127.8lbs). So, I guess even 20 mins of zumba counts
Will keep trying to zumba longer Not sure if I should be a little more ambitious and put my May GW to 56kg (123.2lbs)? If I do that, it means I will have to loose 2.1kg (4.6lbs). Wondering if its achievable since I am very slow when it comes to loosing weight?

You are doing great and glad you enjoyed Zumba! Those classes are a ton of fun.
How about making your GW for May 124 ---it is kinds in the middle and you wouldn't be disappointed if you didn't reach it and just reached the 125 ---for me I have to do something for my goal that I know I have a chance if I work super hard but if I don't then I am also okay with it. I get in my head sometimes too much about the numbers.....that is a struggle I think we all face
Good luck!!! 2 -
Great job exercising! Heck, 20mins is still 20mins
We have a few yr old persimmon tree in our backyard and last year was the first year we actually got a BIG harvest from it. I don't eat them since I'm keto but my mom was extremely happy with the giant box of them we gave her lol.1 -
I can't wait to do some Zumba again, it really is fun. I have a problem knee at this time, but when it's better, I'll be doing some :-)
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your small goal! You are not very heavy at all now, though I understand you want the nice cushion an even lower weight will provide, but one of the downsides of being so close to goal is losing a bit more slowly than at a heavier weight. I think it'll work great for you! I'm in agreement with @volgirl1322 that maybe shoot for 124 :-)1 -
I think you should keep your goal the same and if you lose more then it will be a bonus 1
-
@volgirl1322 - Thank you Need all the luck that I can get I love Zumba I am too obsessed with numbers, I think I also know that I loose weight very very slow too
@LiLee2018 - OMG, if I were you neighbour, you will be chasing me out of your garden... I love love love persimmons Yes, you are right, 20 mins of zumba is still 20 mins of exercising and its around 116 calories burnt
@wsandy8512 - Yes, I love zumba If you have problems with your knees, you can always go for the Zumba Chair Routine, that rocks too I hear what ya I notice that some people loose slower when they get closer to their GW and other that will just zoom towards that GW. I guess I will just have to loose it slowly but surely
@Brendalea69 - Thank you Yes, it would be a bonus indeed

Week 41
CW: Didn't have time to weigh-in
Good afternoon OMAD-ers!
I have to make today a cheat day for me as I was woken-up by an emergency Long story short, a friend of mine called me early this morning as she was in a crisis. Drove to her place and talked to her for awhile and told her to give me some time to get my kids' lunch boxes ready and whisked them to school. I know that not all men are bad but this is just too much She just got married not even 1 year yet and she found out that her hubby is cheating on her Thank goodness she is a strong person but seeing her like so, I wish I could do more. She was eating bags and bags of chips and feeding me too. We love eating chips when we were kids, it was our comfort food Also made her her favourite Meaty Stuffed French Loaf which we always make for each other whenever we were sad, another comfort food Have known her since kinder and this just breaks my heart So, low carb diet is thrown out of the window for today. I know that if I don't eat, she will not eat either. Managed to get her Mom to come down to look after her too, thank the good Lord for Mothers. Have to go to work too or I will not be able to put food on the table for our family.

Week 42
CW: 58.2kg (128lbs)
Good morning OMADers
Been MIA for a while as I was helping my friend packing up her stuff and moving it to her Mom's house. We had to make quite a number of trips as she has a lot of stuff. Thankfully, her Mom's house is just 2 hours away. Everything is settled now and she is going for her counselling sessions.
I have not really focus on my dieting. It was more like going to work, helping my friend in the evenings and coming home around 1am plus for the past week. Its really hard to drive at night as there's always koalas, kangaroos and wallabies running across the road at night. Thank the good Lord that I was safe and sound. Of course hubby wasn't too happy that I put my friend first before my family as our 2 kids kept driving him nuts asking where was I (that's how me phrased it). Oh well, everything is back to normal now and I am climbing back up onto my wagon once again.
Weighed myself this morning and it flashes 58.2kg (128lbs). I can't complain as I did nothing much. Going to start OMAD again today. What a time to get back up onto the wagon as its Mother's Day this weekend... Secondly, I went to the doctor's this morning for my check-up and good golly, I have shrunk. I am no longer 160cm, I am now 158cm. My doctor said that its due to aging changes in the bones, muscles, and joint. After saying that, he sent me for several tests Had a very early OMAD after the doctors.

Its not a lot but I will take it Mother's Day is here and it starts with this gathering tonight. Sure hope I will not eat too much, fingers cross!

Good afternoon OMADers😘
Hope that your Mother's day went well 😍🌹 Kids brought me breakfast in bed 💖 and gave me presents that they made from school. 💞 In the afternoon, a group of my friends came over to bring me cafe hopping😁. Drove 45 mins to a bigger town and we went to a hotel for lunch. Then we went to another cafe for its famous gigantic milkshakes & waffles. We then went to another dessert cafe to have desert & coffee. After that we went shopping for winter clothes. After that, we went for High Tea. I tried to control my calories but in the end I gave up and just enjoyed myself🤣🤣😁😉
Here's photos of our gigantic milkshakes
Here is a photo of our High Tea
Did I weigh myself this morning? Nope😔 as I know I have gained A Lot of weight. But, it was worth it to catch up with friends💖👌😜
Going back up onto the wagon and try to loose this Mother's day weight gain😔😢👍
Just wanted to share this as it touches my heart

Am sitting here at 3.20pm typing this while waiting for my kids to come out from school 😁😋2 -
love the foods!!!! 1

I’m cracking up “Giant milkshakes with pancakes... then for dessert” 😂😂😂 Girl, that’s hilarious, a meal of sweet stuff with a sweet treat and then a sweet dessert. Sounds like you had a blast. Love it!1
-
@volgirl1322 - Oh yes, I love the food too
After that huge indulgence, I really have to work my butts off this week to get it off :lol 
@wsandy8512 - My girlfriends just love sweet treats. Once we went down to Melbourne and went dessert bar hopping. After I came back from that trip, I didn't touch any sweet treats for nearly 2 weeks This is the dessert which I shared with one friends after the milkshakes. We are so bad...

Week 43
CW: didn't weigh-in this morning
Good morning OMADers
Had a busy morning as my 2 kids are doing their NAPLAN (The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy for the whole AUS). Had to make sure that everything is packed and ready for their exams. As always silly old me will write little notes to my kids to encourage them to do well and to tell them that I love them always and forever
Hubby wanted an early lunch, so I made brunch for both of us. OMAD at 11.30am with Rice Noodles in Egg Gravy with lots of wongbok, cabbage, carrots, spring onion, prawns and chicken meat. I also ate a mandarin orange for dessert. Therefore, in total it would be roughly 729 cals for today.

Good morning OMADers !
Its around 11.40am here and its raining with howling wind. Another day without being able to hang the clothes outside Have to go for Plan B, indoor clothes dryer. We try not to use too much electricity as its so expensive here. Over here in my little town, we are paying around 28.2 cents per kilowatt-hour. My cousin who is in the US tells us that he's only paying 12 cents per kilowatt-hour. That's why we tend not to use too much electricity or we will create in big hole in our pockets.
As for food, will finish up the curry from yesterday. Really do not want to waste any food. So, I had what I had yesterday. I added in more cauliflower, cabbage & wongbok so I have more veggies. As for sweets, I ate my favourite Arnott's Mint Slice. Besides zumba, I have also started clocking in my steps. For yesterday, I clocked in 26,170 steps.

Thoughts : Didn't loose any weight this morning I did 45 mins of Zumba aerobics yesterday evening and that should burn at least 160 calories and managed to clocked in 26,170 steps.
I really hope that I can get down to 57 region soon. It has been a while since I am dancing the 58 dance. Got to work hard and try to less my carbs which I find it so so hard to do.
Hope that you guys will get up to a beautiful Thursday!

My kids gave me a fitness pedometer watch for Mother's Day which tells the time and date too. So, I ended up wearing this fitness watch and kept my old watch. Its nothing fancy but I love it as my kids bought it for me. I wear the watch from the time I get up of bed and take it off before I go to bed. I even wear it when I am doing zumba. Yesterday, the watch recorded 26,170 steps (which includes my zumba). I am just wondering if you guys take off your fitness watch when you exercise or just wear it? Thank you 0
-
I always wear my fitbit (fitness watch) during exercise. I usually only take it off to shower and to charge it but other than that I keep it on all the time because mine tracks my sleep as well.1
-
The scale might not be moving, but your body is probably changing from the exercise you're doing. Are you taking your measurements too?0
-
Me too - never take that thing off unless I'm going in the water or charging it.1
-
@LadyBlanks - Thank you for the info
@LiLee2018 - I sure hope so I seldom measure myself. I tend to go all nuts when I do something. So, I limit myself to just weighing. The last time I measured myself was like in Feb.. May be I should measure myself to see if I have loss inches
@mistymeadows2005 - Thanks for the info too
