arrgghh I really want to see the pics but I cant get the link to work?

You guys are all so amazing :) thanks for the advice! I'm going to weigh it raw from now on. You've all made some really good points & I appreciate the help. Thanks again

This ^^ plus dont let some jerk deter you from getting outside & getting fit, dont let others control your confidence!

Congratulations! You've made so many healthy changes! I love that you are making it a family thing and being more active with your kids. Heres to you!!:drinker:

I used to make my turkey omlettes with 1 egg & 1 egg white but have been working out more than usual this week so upped it to 2 whole eggs & I had to have a giggle when eating it cuz all i could think was "ohhhh its so much fluffier" lol. I really enjoyed it so I'd say got for 2 whole eggs, I will be from now on!

Thats incredible! Congratulations!

What an amazing victory! Emotional eating is so hard to overcome and you've fought the battle in one of the most stressful situations I can think of. Well done to you :) dont give up!

AMAZING!!! you are setting your daughter up for a fit & healthy life! I read somewhere today that your children will become what you are so be what you want them to be. Of course thats not always the case but I think anyone who promotes a healthy lifestyle to their children is an absolute champ!

Thanks everyone :) I've joined the group you mentioned, I'm a little freaked out at the thought of increasing my cals but I'm going to try it. Have a fabulous day!!

Im getting fitter! Had a PT session this morning, looked at my HRM and its was reading 174 after doing barbell squats then after 30 seconds rest it had dropped to 125!!!! It used to take heaps longer than that to recover :)

Start today & never look back!

Haha me toooo! I miss my wedding, trying to convince the hubby we need to do it all again!

Wow! You look incredible, well done! I keep going back and looking your pic, I'm just so inspired!

I'm sure your Husband to be is going to think you are the most beautiful thing he has ever seen as you walk down the aisle & thats all that matters :)

OMG please, please do not do this!!! Diet pills nearly ruined my life & my relationship! When I was 19 I tired duromine, I turned into a complete nutcase! I couldnt eat, couldnt sleep was contanstly crabby & constipated. My heart raced so hard even while sitting down that i thought i was going to die. Any weight i lost…

Thats so funny I was just about to post a very similar message! I'm on here everyday and actively encourage & support anyone who needs it, all I ask is that they do the same for me. Just recently cleaned up my friends list of anyone who didnt return support so am In need of some more! I want to actually get to know people…

I love this idea of daily goals! awesome :)

Hi Cass, First of all great job on your inital loss, thats wonderful! I'm no motivation expert but i can tell you what worked for me in the hopes it might for you too. A few months ago i was at my absolute worst, so down about things i had no control over and sick of all the "hard work" of dieting & exercise. So i decided…

I love the idea of having a spa day at the halfway point! ahhhh complete relaxation! Yes please!!!

1) I just resisted eating a delicious berry pannacotta. 2) after 3 weeks of eating well & exercising I can now easily wake up at 5am to exercise instead of rolling out of bed like a zombie at 7.30 for an 8.15am start at work.

I have 25kilos to lose. My goal this time around is to educate myself about the foods im eating & the exercise im doing during my journey so that this time I can keep the weight off. I have set myself a goal of 1 kilo a week which makes my completion date October the 6th. My husband & I are going to start trying for kids…

Thank you!! So, so helpful!!

Hmmmm I like your way of thinking... that is definitely a way to reprogram my thought patterns. Exercise = Allowed Pizza nom nom nom lol [/quote] Mmm pizza!! Thanks guys for all the great advice, it actually makes heaps of sense to me now, eat more to rev up my metabolism but exercise so my cals are in check. It's funny…

Absolutley amazing!! well done to you!!

OMG spinning is brutal lol! Its so funny cuz when i'm feeling fit i absolutley love it and feel so motivated and challenged not to let that 45mins of pain beat me yet when i've been out of the game for a while & am feeling pudgy i just couldnt think of any worse torture! I once had this amazing Personal trainer who i used…

Cool thanks for the info. It just feels funny to be able to eat 2000 + calories and call it a diet lol

If you can prep every couple of days not just once a week (so you can just refridgerate not freeze) I would definatly recommend Chicken & Quinoa stirfrys for lunches. I used to just make it for dinner 1 night but make enough for lunches for the next 2 or 3 days. Its delicious and filling. This was definatly a winner for me!

LOL! none of the above, just being a spaz !

like your planning something....

Haha me too!
