If money was no object - long island iced teaaaaaa!

I changed my weigh in day to Monday, since I dont have a social life :D I do have small children, though, and weekends are our family outing days.

When i was carrying my twins, second tri had me eating constantly (with nausea and bad reflux). I ate as much protein as i could handle but that was advised for the twinnage and nausea issue. I would sometimes eat breakfast, get on the train to work - an hour commute- at my stop i would have wee 15678 for the day, have a…

I have b12 injections for a deficiency my dr detected through blood tests. They certainly helped bring up my energy (and mood). My weight loss is through counting calories and adding exercise where I can, and more recently, seeing a Psychologist to assist with stress/anxiety management and mindfulness therapy (Dialectical…

Dudes with broad shoulders and muscular long legs. Short dark hair. Cheeky smile. Competence is also very attractive. :D

Yeah the flour is a massive calorie addition. I weigh my flour when i make it so i can count on it being correctly measured... usually make 2 pizzas and it all disappears because we have 4.5 yo twins who love pizza and my husband has massive capacity to eat it too (and i always used to keep pace so i didnt 'miss out').…

Haha! I dont think i could handle that right now! :D

A number of years back i lost about 30kg and just adored finding great graphic t shirts. I put most of the weight back on when i had my twins (now 4yo) and i have slid back into the plain black shirts and jeans. I still have a very bright pink tee with a dog and bones on it... its the absolute opposite of everything i wear…

Im not able to offer anything more than above, other than my PF was bad when i was around the same weight (im 5ft10). I saw a physiotherapist a couple of times, and i had stretches i had to do multiple times a day. I did the stretches religiously and it gradually eased. I havent had it return like that since, and that was…

Wait and see what your ultrasound says. I had a few minor attacks (didnt know at the time) but then i got a stone lodged in the bile duct which as you know can be awful. I couldnt stand straight and couldnt keep food or water down for a few days. While i was zonked on painkillers i actually felt the stone dislodge while…

My toddlers used to chew on dried apricots and then put the squishy chewed remnants aside to discover later. Ew.

I added 20 sit ups with a 4kg medicine ball to my weights workout. I held a plank for just over 1 minute. Starting to believe that there is hope for my poor worn out back & stomach that suffered from having big kids.

Stop throwing the skin out the window, it's choking the ducks.

I'm a muscle squeezer and poker. I can feel them developing under the squish, and keep sliding my hands across my arms and shoulders...and tensing up then poking the muscles in my thighs.

It's a visible difference, good job! Miss 2 is gorgeous, and I completely understand the idea of having a little person to keep you honest. My girls (twins) are 2.5, and their birthday is in December. I am sick of hiding behind them in pictures, and I want them to have pictures of them WITH their Mum. And of their Mum,…

This morning I didn't want to get up and walk/run/do cardio ANYTHING (I do it between strength training days). Alarm went off, I lay in bed for a minute and then decided to take my Husband's mountain bike out as it's been a few years since I rode, I thought it would be a bit of a fun way to get my heart rate up. I found a…

My Physio showed me how to tape my foot to help and I did the streches constantly. It takes time but mine has cleared for a few years now without resurfacing. I would also keep a frozen bottle of water around so I could roll it under my foot when things were really bad. I cycled a lot more when mine was really bad, as I…

Several thousand, apparently. Agree with it seeming that you need to lose a significant amount to drop between higher sizes. I fit *some* 16' at the moment, some are too small still. I have lost about 6kg. At my optimum weight (in living memory anyway) I am a 12-14 due to being 5'10" and amazonian. So it's strange to think…
-
Well done! I have found the first 5kg a total struggle every time I have tried to lose weight - but once I get to that point, I feel like I'm getting somewhere! Good for you. :-)
-
Great work! I started out just over 220lb and am starting to see some great changes just recently - you give me hope! Are you tall? I'm 5'10" and people never believe I weigh as much as I do.
-
That's a significant change - nice work! I started taking progress pics and am so glad I did.

Norgen Vaas .. Gingerbread flavour had it on my honeymoon 6 years ago and never seen it since. I blame Ben & Jerry's New York Chunk for kick starting the delivery of my twins. Twas the night before I was due in Hospital, and I lived it up by having this wondorous ice cream that I had avoided due to Gestational Diabetes. 40…

I struggle with getting rid of clothes that don't fit. Most of my wardrobe is too small currently - I lost about 30kg a few years back and had a big clean out. THEN I had my twins, and I am still about 15+kg away from fitting my favourite clothing. I have a handful of casual fat clothes that get rotated endlessly, and I…

Everyone's journey is different, they all have different goals, different starts etc. I know I don't watch or judge anyone else at my gym - I have even started not caring if anyone is around when I do my 100's which is a fabulous way to look like an overturned turtle! Give it time, you will be fine. I still don't like…

I'm about 300km north of Brisbane but lived there for many years. Weather pattern here is similar, just a few degrees warmer at times! Yes, I had to find shorts to wear today as we took the kids to the park to try out their big bikes (they are not yet 3 yo so it was a BIG deal to them. Summer is a big motivator for me, as…

I'm in Queensland, Australia, so we are coming into spring. Days are warm, nights are cool...beaches are awesome. We don't do Fall/Autumn here because nothing really changes except it's just not as hot - which is worth celebrating in itself! Other parts of the country (the cooler parts) have leaves changing etc but not…

Fantastic work! I'll always applaud another twin mother as well. I hope to look that fantastic when my girls start school!
-
Still working toward Onederland, but I would love to have a good look at your ink! Bloody fabulous from what I can see. :-D
-
Good job! PS I had 38 week twins, don't they do a number on your body?! I still have about 17kg to lose, though it will be interesting to see what I am left with in terms of tummy skin!
