  • So I have managed 200g weight loss in 5 days. I am afraid I am an old skeptic - and think its probably the difference between a good bowel motion and not...but overall I am feeling a bit more in control. I finish being a psychology lab rat on next Monday so need to start using that time to be more active. So this week's…
  • Geeze what a great guy - NOT! Hun, if this is a one off thing you could go and explain that it was hurtful and not motivational. If it's more than one off you need to be thinking if you can stay. It doesn't get better
  • Hi all, ventured out shopping and got a stock up of our emergency food kit. In NZ we are meant to have enough for the household for 21 days with little cooking facilities - in our case we have bottled gas so better off than many. This is in case of a big alpine fault rupture (a mega earthquake). We probably keep a…

  • Well we are the first country to implement 14 days quarantine for everyone entering. 6 cases to date. Lots of encouragement of social distancing and govt likely to make it easier to get sick leave for people self isolating because of others in the household.

  • Officially made one of the Itty Bitty titty Committee gym instructors snort with laughter at my boob and armpit comment. She did me a favour of talking to me while I did 15 mins of stationery bike. I must get an audio book loaded for those occasions an instructor is not there to entertain me. Just fogged the window of the…
  • Wanted to share the other weight watcher in our house - Jack the Tripaw. He has stay slim because of his missing limb.
  • Hi @Machka9, Also in the industry. Spent the last two days in my private practice rather than in the office, where I too could throw a paper plane at the planning teams. This weekend I'm talking to my Dad who is in a supported living facility how we will care for him if he gets sick. He's in his 80s so we will also have to…
  • Because I'm turning 50 in August eeek!
  • We are unreliable at self observing. Hence recording and self monitoring. Your Critical Parent ego state is trying to sabotage by getting you thinking in a very black and white way. Using weight checks and self motitoring is in the Adult ego state domain and is useful for challenging that black and white thoughts. "if I…
  • Hi all, day 1 still about 3 hours from finished. I've planned my supper snack, but need to go into the kitchen and prep for tomorrow...eek! Wish me luck :/
  • Hopefully these links work: https://youtu.be/9zaZVyUpz94 https://youtu.be/e89e8RK-WBM This guy is the most amazing exercise trainer and his programme is about learning to use your muscles correctly.

  • Hi both, yep a kiwi from Southern NZ. I'm also a lawn bowls player so in place of other inspiration that's my user name. My goal with being here is to get back to 68kg (from 75kg) before August and my 50th birthday. Unfortunately my body REALLY wants to keep that extra 7kg after I lost 8 kg hard and fast when ill back in…

  • Hi all, joining as an almost 50! I want to knock the 7kg that I went over my usual weight after recovering from a major depressive episode in 2015 by August. I know my weaknesses and my challenges. Now gotta deal with them!
