what is everyone using for the weight in the 21's?0
-
I'm using a 2kg weight.
Thank you Courtney! I've been for a swim and feel like today will be another god day! Have a lovely cruise, hope the sun shines wherever you go!
I'm putting swim down as my 'new exercise' today as I haven't been for a swim since the 6th of July (I just looked that up!) ... about the same time I stopped losing weight! Man, it was hard this morning, but I swam 1km. I'm happy with that, and plan to swim every wed morning from now on.0 -
Headed to bed to read and then dose off to dreamland.....
Spent most of the day in bed today with cramps and a migraine (OH how I HATE TOM)!! Hopefully tomorrow will be better.0 -
Claire - iIperfer a weighted bar fro my 21's Mine Is 8 pounds I think. I use a 10 pound one when i gdo them at the gym.
Rach - glad your swim went so well. i would liek to get back to swimming as well.
Tami - i hope you feel much better today!!!
Today is my lsat day loggin beofre teh cruise. I have kicked butt at teh beginning of the week so the end won't be so bad. But I plan to be active on the boat, swimming, hopefully snorkling, walking around Nassau, dancing in the club and maybe even hoping on a treadmill. We will see. I plan to have tons of fun and relax.
Have a great rest of the week ladies!0 -
Kettleworx and a bike ride today - the weather has been glorious!
I've also done the windscreen wipers and jumping jacks.... and my bike ride was just over a mile...
Super day!
Feeling much better now TOM is on his way out though still coughing a bit but never mind!0 -
****, I've been crap! I've been good with regular exercise and stuff cos we have the Wii, but I've been so busy this week running around helping my sister out and rehearsing for this play.
Jenni I promise I will try to play catch up and will duly fill out the spreadsheet by Monday!0 -
Well I started the week with good intentions. Gone down hill rapidly. Had planned to walk early this mornIng and then do a jazz class. Slept in. Amazing considering the traffic noise. I now just dont feel like doing anything. Samara working on another job application and then down to Internet cafe to write it up and send. Think I will read my book and try to relax my stress level is high at the moment. Sorry for letting down my team.0

Don't worry Jen, we all have days like that. :flowerforyou:
I have so much to do today, I can't even tell you. It's kind of my own fault though as I should have started doing what I needed to at the start of the week rather than yesterday. I have a guy coming out tomorrow to update my fuse box and also check all my plug points. This means that I have to move everything away from the plug points for him to be able to get to them. This includes, the fridge, the oven, my wardrobes and a million other things. At least I'm going to log some good calories in my exercise log today. I guess there's always a silver lining.

Hi girls. Urgh I want my life back. Things aren't so bleak and she can pick up a bit of promo work. Just need to slow down and breathe. Staying in the city again tonight can't wait to go home. I had actually bought a recumbent exercise bike last Monday before all this drama. It is still sitting in the boot of the car.
Whizzy I hate having to prepare for tradesman. Probably why there are so many jobs waiting to be done at home.
Again no walk this morning. But might go to ballet class tonight.
Love to you all and keep up the good work.0 -
There is just no way I'm ever going to eat my calories today. I've spent 6 1/2 hours today cleaning and going through stuff in the flat. I am shattered to be honest. Time for bed I think.
Hope you girls are all okay. Keep up the good work
Jen - Keep your chin up. I hope things get easier for you soon. *hugs*0 -
Weight up 2.4lbs this week since last Friday... But TOM was here and really kicked my *kitten* - along with the cold and cough I had...
Went for weight reduction hypnotherapy yesterday! She's hoping to change my attitude to food and also does a stomach shrinking technique... Have to say I didn't eat much yesterday and felt REALLY uncomfortable after eating one of the cupcakes I made in class last night...
I have 3 more sessions to go to and have to listen to a reaffirming CD before I go to bed... Last night I fell asleep listening to it!! Had a great night's sleep!
Anyhoo - onwards and upwards... Boxercise this morning...0 -
Hi ladies ... my good intentions went off track ... I had 3 good days, and then 2 bad days, not terrible though I don't think, though I didn't log my food yesterday. I think a bit of hynotherapy would do me good! I'm off to rethink and reset some goals .... I'm thinking of having a star chart like the kids, like I get a star for every 4 consecutive days on track, as 3 seems to be my limit, once I get 10 stars I'm going to have a treat ... maybe a fancy spa massage or something!0
-
I'm home, its saturday. Hypnotherapy sounds interesting. Star chart as well. Didn't do so well eating wise the last 24 hours. Did go to ballet last night. Will try and fill in the chart later. Samara, has put out lots of feelers for jobs. Agent has her on stand by for 2 jobs in this next week, can't believe it. haven't heard from the agent in over a year, then she gets the movie and a possible 2 jobs this week. Good timing. One is a tv ad and one is a music video but we dont count on it as these things often fall through at the last minute. I took advantage of the stress and ate junk. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Will now try and get back on track.0 -
Have put together our recumbent bike and had a ride. Seat is certainly more comfortable, getting use to new position for pedalling. Wore HRM which recorded a much lower calorie burn then bike said. Did program 8 (fat burning) was darn hard so thats good. I guess.
Tomorrow going to listen to writer Alexander McCall Smith on the break down of values in society. I have only read a couple of his No 1 Ladies detective series and really enjoyed them. Saw he was speaking, never been to this sort of thing before so why not. Had to settle for a seat with limited viewing which i figure doesn't matter since I'm going to "listen" to him.0 -
HELP!!! I need help!!! I just can't stay on this damn wagon, and I'm gaining at a similar rate to which I was was losing a few months ago, and I could just CRY!
After todays weigh in (gained 0.5kg) I'll have gained 7kg since the middle of July. AAAARRRGGGGHHHH! At this rate I'll be back where I started by Christmas, and that is NOT what I want. I seriously haven't picked up my consistency again since I had the day off on my birthday, and every day I say right this is it ... and sometimes I make the whole day, then I make the next day, but RARELY am I making more than 3 days .... HELP!!!!
I'm thinking I'm going to put my calorie goal back down again to 2lb a week or 1.5lb, because I reckon I shoot for goal, and often go over, but because I'm set to lose 1lb a week, when I go over too much I'm gaining ... maybe if I I shoot a bit lower, and go over I might still lose!
I am still doing my exercise, so that is something ... sigh ....0 -
Rach, I'm here for you. I know how you feel it seems I have good days and very very bad days. I start the week well. Guess i should call monday, motivated monday. Today is a public holiday, husband having a sleep in, its cold and overcast, would have been very easy to stay in bed. BUT yesterday my weight loss was 0. ok its not a gain but we are all here to lose.Having gotten up to let the cat out I went back to bed attempting to go back to sleep, but then I thought no bugger it. I got up pulled on my exercise clothes and went down to the treadmill. I went to set it for 30min and then decided that I can walk for 60min so did it. I don't think exercise is my problem, I walk everywhere I can, now using the exercise bike as well.
So its what we put into our mouth that we need help with. I solve everything with food, I reward everything with food, I heal everything with food, I comfort everything with food.
I/we need to change these habits. I know that you are like me and try to tend to eat as healthy as we can. I know I have to get back into planning better. Yesterday on the way home from being in the city, we had Hungry Jacks. Why, my reasoning, was we could get vegetarian and it was cheap. Ok a treat now and then shouldn't matter, but I know my now and then is more often then it should be. Today I am going back into the city, (again to listen to Alexander McCall Smith), so i am going prepared will pack snacks and i can wait till I get home to eat a meal. If I am too tired to cook when i get home we will just have to have one of those vegie hotpots I have frozen. And then I hope to have another 30min on the bike, being new it is a novelty I am going to work my way through all the programs. So that is my plan for today and now that I have told you, I have to stick to it. What is your plan for today?
This is our 1234 week. Not sure yet what I will do.
Maybe 1. is take 1 day at a time and plan my day at the start of each day. Plus try to get to 1 class.
2. double up my intentions. double last weeks calorie burn, that would be 6,234 so may need to think of something else
3. 3 x 1hour walks
4. 4 x 30min on bike.0 -
Thank you Jenn
You're right, I need to plan ahead. I have dinner sorted for today, but like you say, it's Monday, my Mondays are always good! But tonight I will sit down and plan my week, organise what I can cook up ahead. I liked your snack bag idea, as my worst days are the ones I work, (and the weekend). I always get home from work hungry, and I munch ...
Today I've been tidying the house, I find a tidy house helps my brain to be tidy too. Part of me thinks that seeing my ticker saying I've lost 15kg every time I post will help!! It used to say 22kg grrrrr! Part of me also thinks this is all part of the process, I need to see that I have to carry on eating well. I need to see that exercise alone isn't the key. I've learnt a lot, but I need those lessons reinforcing a bit! I am actually quite proud of myself I'm still here, I realised things were going wrong and and I am going to do something about it. I really do mean business. I want to be slim. I want enjoy summer without feeling I have to hide behind my sarongs!
RIGHT!0 -
why am I doing so badly?! Haven't weighed this morning as it's my OH's birthday and it was manic this morning but I would imagine I've put on... Again...
Looking forward to getting my blood test results back next week - maybe that will hold some answers....0 -
Yay! I've had a good day, but one puddle doesn't make a lake or whatever the saying is, but it's a start!
I've increased my loss per week, so it's 1.5lb per week, so even though I'm 40 cals over today, that would have been 200 under on my old goals ... so I did good.
House is looking tidier, though still got the "playroom" to get through ... sometimes I wish I could just throw all the toys away! They drive me crazy, so much mess .... anyway, that will be tomorrow's joy!
Right Tuesday, here I come ... I'm gonna take you out too! This week I will lose weight, this week is the start of the new slimmer me.0 -
Ahh yes and my 1, 2, 3, 4
1. 1 x 1km swim (wed)
2. 2 x 10km bike rides (sun)
3. 3 x 30 day shreds
4. 4 x planned lovely dinners (tue, wed, thur, Fri)0 -
Great planning Rach. Look out Tuesday. Another successful day ahead.
Claire, hang in there. It may not be so bad and if it is, well lets use it as a lesson to learn from. We have a lot of old habits that need to be changed and some will take relearning over and over. Lets also see what the blood tests have to tell.
I had a great day today, personnally, went to another talk by Alexander McCall Smith, on his writings this time, Yesterdays was more politcal/social habits. I have never been to anything like this before and I really enjoyed it. Have never felt very clever, that was left to my siblings I was always the showgirl (no brains needed) but at 51 I am discovering that I like to extend myself. So glad that I did something for myself for once.
I have also had a great day calorie wise, well slightly over unless i get on the bike and if I have supper will be more than slightly over. I resisted all city temptations and stuck to the snacks in my handbag.
I did walk for 60min this morning and had sort of planned to pedal away 30min tonight. 8.50pm and have just finished dinner as I was late home from the city. My husband had it prepared which was nice. So didn't have to have a frozen dinner.
One day at a time. Lets all conquer Tuesday. :smokin:0 -

TUESDAY - I have the day at home. YAY, oh except for hairdressing appointment.
Have had a sleep in. Which was sort of nice but now it has put me behind in time plus we have just gone to daylight saving so still adjusting to that.
Today will plan my food early, and stick to it. Will be harder today as I am home alone.
Congrats to everyone for their fabulous effort on last weeks challenge. Tami you did amazing. And Rach wins for the longest decimal point. :laugh:
You have all come up with great 1234 lists.
Have a fabulous Tuesday everyone.0 -
Wooohooo! I won something!!!
Well done Tami, what about you rocking on up and taking us all out! Well done to Nicki too, pretty tight between you two! What a team!
Tuesday is going great here, sorted my dinner, just made avocado shakes, sooo yummy. Bill slurped his up, Lucy said it was yucky, so I ended up having two serves, but because of my burn at bootcamp this morning, that's all good! (check the recipe www.weelicious.com). Other than guacamole any bright recipe ideas with avocados?0 -
I swear I do not know what just happened . The biggest binge. Blame TOM. Why did I do it? its only 5.30pm think I will go to bed now. I'm tired, have cramps, and unhappy with myself. :sad:0
-
Awwww Jenn, big super hugs coming at you my lovely, wonderful supportive loser! Don't beat yourself up, tomorrow is another day, new start then. sleep tight x0

Hello Lovely Ladies of Looserville! I am bach from a fabulous vacation. I am happy as a clam and red as a lobster. Hubby and I got burnt while snorkling. I am scared to step on a scale but I feel so revived and ready to kick some butt this winter. Stragly i lose better in teh einder than the summer. Weird.
I see that everyone has had some ups and downs, the important thing is that we are all still her and still trying.
My 1, 2, 3, 4 will be
1 yoga class
2 sets of 30 high kneew 5 out of 7 days this week ...I can't do jumping jacks b/c of my sunburn
3 sessions of weight training
4 walks a mile or longer
Good luck reaching your goals ladies!0 -
Jenn ~ I too have had major food BINGE but mine has lasted 2 days....and I don't know why because TOM was here last week. All I know is that all I want to do is eat and not stop and I don't want to exercise. I have to force myself to get out of bed in the morning and to even clean house. Last week was great for exercise, got back into it full swing and burned lots of calories, but this week I am literally having to force any activity.0

Big super hugs loserville! I'm feeling like I'm back on the wagon, thanks to our mayor's kind words and support. Now if I'm on the wagon, you guys are coming with me, lets get ourselves even more lovely for Christmas ...
What can we do to stop the binge mode? Any top tips? Lets share some ideas. I hate it when stuff jumps into my mouth like that, and I can't seem to stop or help myself ... I can't think clearly about it now as I'm on the wagon again ... I think next time it hits me I'm going to try really hard to analyse my feelings. I've read talking to yourself aloud helps ... right now I think I'd make myself have a glass of water first, but I know that doesn't happen when the food's just hopping in my mouth ...
Right Wednesday is usually where it all goes wrong for me ... wednesday night, I usually have a good day! I've done my swim this morning, and will try to fit in 30 Day shred tonight. I'm going to plan my lessons for tomorrow now, as wednesdays usually go wrong because I have work to do in the evening. I get tired and hungry whilst I'm working and ... I eat!
I'm also going to treat myself ... for losing ... any ideas for my other treats! I'd quite like to learn how to wear makeup! LOL! I've never really worn make-up (I don't need to I'm already absolutely drop dead gorgeous!!LOL!)
at 77kg I'm having a deluxe facial, already got the voucher!
at 74kg I'm having a full body massage
at 72kg I'm ...
at 70kg I'm ...
at 68kg I'm going on a shopping spree! New wardrobe here I come! I'm hoping this will coincide with the January sales!!
Come on lets take Wednesday out, lets try to lose this week. If you've had a a bad few days, weigh now, and see if you can knock something off that? Don't give up on the week. We can do this. TOGETHER we can!0
