WI23

I reached goal today. I lost that mofo weight but I feel disappointed. I went out drinking last night and I know it could have been more under goal weight if I hadn't. Eh, 600g loss is nothing to sneeze at. It just means I will do the weight loss plan for another week and then go onto maintenance next week. I just don't want to sit on 63 as my goal, I would like it to be a bit more under that.

On the other hand, I have a very interesting fortnight ahead of me.

Next weekend is:

• Fri: My hens night 
• Sat: Valentine's day (we're going out for dinner)
• Sun: My Birthday

Then the wedding is the weekend after. So I think maintenance is going to be interesting.

So in summary, I get a fucking corset from gallery serpentine and I'm 63 KILOS!

WI 20

GAH! I lost .4kg. So still doing my loss aspect of my journey. I'm  actually surprised I even managed to lose this week at all. I gorged myself last night and I did shit all exercise for the week. So to be honest I'm actually wondering how I managed to lose... Oh well, if I behave myself this week I'll have reached goal next week. 

One of the reasons I've been not behaving myself this week is that I have a really big cold sore, feeling incredibly tired (lethargic to the full) and just general blahness. So I decided to eat more to increase my energy levels. I hate the fact that I have a cold sore and it doesn't seem to be going away. 

I should write more but I'm going to the gym! Pump class woooo!

So in Summary

Current weight: 63.4kg

Loss: 400g

Goal: 400g

Wi 19

So I lost .9kg! Woohoo! That puts me at below 64kg. I can again say I'm the lightest I have been for YEARS! *laughs*. With how much success I've had with weight watchers, it makes me wonder why I didn't start it sooner. Soo 800g to go. I have to say I'm starting to feel impatient about the final loss. During this whole journey it was all about taking my time, doing it slowly, whatever happens... now I'm like 800g melt off me right NOW!!!!. It'll probably take 2 weeks lol. 

So in summary:

Lost 9oog

Current weight: 63.8kg

Weight loss to goal: 800g (but realistically would like to be under that a little).

Woohoo!

WI 18

Lost .5kg. I'm actually disappointed I expected more, but I had a freak out eat everything in sight moment at the end of the week, so I should be happy with just .5kg.

I still haven't quite lost my Christmas gain. I still have 300 grams to go. I guess that is why I am disappointed - I really wanted it gone. Oh well. But!!! it does mean I can get my tattoo. I actually can have it - now that is exciting. Just gotta wait for the dosh and get something meaningful to me.

Omg, that just reminds me. I was in a shop the other day (with Luke) and this guy openly checked me out... ahahahahaha. I've never noticed that before. Although his checking out was straight to my boobs. I was wearing my work clothes so that felt a little disturbing.

In summary:

Current weight: 64.7

Loss to next goal (which is GOAL): 1.7

GOAL: 1.7kg

WI 17

Lost .6 kilos. So I only have .9 of my xmas/new years gain to lose to be really happy with myself again. I really hate being over 65 kilos. I'm currently sitting on 65.2 kg so I'm hoping next weigh in will have me under it. Good thing I didn't get that tattoo hey:P

In summary:

Current weight: 65.2

Loss to next goal: .2

Loss to GOAL: 2.2kg

Oh I'm so close!!! I'm hoping the end of Jan.

WI 15

Um I lost 2.8kg. Holy shit!!! I always experience a good loss after my period but omg!!! When I said I would make my tattoo goal - I actually wasn't serious. I thought 2.1kg was too much - but I actually did it! I suspect part of it is lack of water drinking over the weekend and that I didn't eat dinner last night cos I just couldn't stomach it. Gah! We'll see if it stays off. 

In summary:

Current weight 64.3 (omg!!!)

GOAL: 1.3kg away. Okay I'm definitely going to aim for goal!!! No re-adjusting of anything. Woohoo!!!!

Oooh now I get a tattoo. How exciting! Shame the wedding is leaving me broke so it'll have to be later in life (along with the motorbike license). At least I'm dying my hair red tomorrow - was that my 72kg goal?

Wi 14

So I weighed myself, it said no change and I didn't believe it. So I re-checked it 1 minute later and I had lost .2. So I have taken the loss but I have got to stop dicking around. I go over my points every single day. I think last week I didn't go over them once. I drank so much alcohol, and I've even let chocolate appear (almost daily) into my diet - how disgusting.

Today is supposed to be the first day of ttotm. I always experience a fantastic loss on the Monday of next week. So if I pull my finger out of my butt and actually follow my 2o points - yes 20 points! I have heaps of food!!! So STOP DICKING AROUND I'm paying for this. With spare cash that I don't have now that I am getting married! This is absolutely ridiculous. I have 4.1kg until goal. I should have been there in 14 weeks.

So the hurdles I have for this week are:

• sticking to my points (I am getting my tattoo goal next week - hell yeah)
• My engagement party
• Christmas with the parentals on Saturday
• Xmas morning tea this morning - I don't have to eat any of the food! I'll take my own that I can control. (FAILED FAILED FAILED - but can eat salad for dinner *sigh*)
  

This week is all about control. I'm going to have to control myself like nothing else. I have to remember that walking 2 hours every day does not constitute more food everyday.

If I'm not at 66kg kg next week. Then I'm going to be one cranky Aren who'll need a good kick up the arse!

WI 13

Hi peeps! I lost this week -.6 kg which means I have reached my next goal of no idea what to buy myself lol! I went to melbourne for the 4 days for the library conference and wow, just wow, I managed to lose weight even though I drank much alcohol and ate much take out food. Obviously I've managed to learn something from weight watchers - which is just fantastic!!!

Summary: 

Weight: 67.3!!!

Next goal: 2.3 kg to go

Goal: 4.3 kg to go! Woohoo!!! 

I'm feeling like such a skinny bitch!

YAY!

I just got a message from a friend from High School on my facebook. She told me how amazing I look and wanted to know how I did it (I said weight watchers and exercise). The last time she saw me I was about 86kg and had been that for a long time. So that was really nice! I've lost a LOT of weight since then... 18kg I think? Oh god I can't do maths of a morning.

How nicely motivating! YAY

WI 11

I'm still in a healthy BMI, I've been feeling anxious about that this week *laughs*. I lost .8kg! I can't believe I weigh 67.8! YAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAYYAAYYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAYAYAY

Holy crap I'm 4.8kg near goal. WOW!!! Just WOW! I feel incredibly happy. My aim was to be 67.5 for Christmas, therefore I have .3 to get there. I think I can make it :D, and I might be able to make 67... do I hear a new goal for Christmas!?

So goal summary:

67.5 (300g away) - buy something awesome (I still don't know what) lol!

65kg (2.8kg away) - get a new tattoo

63kg (4.8kg away) - Corset!!! And new clothing, although I've had to start doing that now :D

WI 10

OHMYGOD!!! I'm in a HEALTHY BMI! I'm so happy. I lost .5kg and thus my weight is 68.6 (I
have got to stop saying 78.6 - I've been doing it all morning), so YAYAYAYAY!!!

It might have been more of a loss, but I've been going over my points to make sure I get enough iron and vitamin c in my diet. Also I don't have the internet at home at the moment, so I've kinda been guesstimating pointages for things.

Anyhow, so I am officially in healthy weight range for my height. How exciting! So hmmm 1.1kg to my next goal and 5.6kg to main Goal.

WI 9

I lost .5kg. Which now makes me 69.1kg. I'm kind of disappointed I didn't managed to crack the 68 mark. I know I should be happy about being 500g lighter but I really wanted to make the 800grams. I honestly thought I could make it. I guess it will be another week until my BMI is healthy. I obviously can't do maths because I'm 300g away from a healthy weight *laughs*.

So what do I feel went wrong. EXERCISE! I wasn't quite as vigorous with moving as I had planned to be. I kinda lacked some motivation there. Also, I didn't walk some evenings where I would normally walk because it rained (probably more so than it would have in winter). So my weekly goal this week is to do more walking.

YAY!!! So my usual reminder. I'm 300g away for a healthy BMI and 1.6kg away from my next goal of NO IDEA WHAT IT SHOULD BE! Finally, I'm 6.1 kg away from GOAL! Also, my double rent paying is over and so I can technically dye my hair and book for my motorbike license. Can't wait!

Edit: I just realised I'm over half way through my 'loss' aspect of my weight monitoring journey. That's pretty special.

Weigh in 6

I have got to stop stressing about my weight. I lost -.6kg! YAY! So now I'm 71.3kg and it's no accident. I've worked hard (minus a couple of few norty days this week mostly lol) for this weight loss! I am a champion! My BMI is 25.87, and to make it 24.97 I need to lose another 2.5kg. I've lost 4.4 what's another two :D.

When I started weight watchers, I was in complete despair about my weight. Earlier in the year (May) I weighed 78.8kg, but I was killing myself with exercise. I was walking for almost 2 hours every morning and going to the gym. My gorgeous fiance Luke just couldn't understand why I wasn't losing weight (well I obviously managed to lose 3.1 between May and September) but nothing like what weight watchers does. It obviously, for me, was about diet, how i was just eating the wrong things (or high fat things) and often I just didn't realise. It's so important to keep a food diary and to consciously make decisions about how I'm eating.

71.3 kilos! I'm just so very proud of myself. 8.3 kilos to goal :)

Here is a treat for all you bloggers of mine. A photo of me from the toga party (Pandora is the name) - heh, I'm starting to look gorgeous *wink*

Weigh In 5

Ah, I lost weight. I lost a lot of weight... -1.2kg. I'm now 71.9, which means I can now ring up to do my motorbike license. Yep achieved my second goal!!!

To be honest, I'm a little confused. I don't understand why I lost so little in the past 2 weeks (i.e. 700g) but when I have a real munchy week and feel like eating everything in sight (but managed to stick to my points), I lose over a kg - which the weight watchers site told me was too much... but I'm not too concerned 3.8kg over 5 weeks really isn't anything to be concerned with. However, I'm still confused *laughs*, but happy! I officially weigh what I weighed when I met Luke (and then lost 5 kg on my own).

I'm trying to think what I did well this week... exercise? I went to the gym twice and walked for 3 hours on Friday (just cos I could), and walked to the city Saturday, walked in the reserve on Sunday (the reserve walk was how I lost my 5kg last time - I adore that walk it's all bushland and hills).

Otherwise I snacked like a crazy person. Ate out a fair bit, but I did eat variety which is something I haven't really done since I started ww and I was really careful with my gluten intake (I'm a norty gluten intolerant person who eats gluten on occasion).

Eeeee!!! Next goal 1.9kg away. Goal= 8.9kg away. Woot! I'm gonna get there. I just might even make 70kg before christmas.

weigh in 4: 73.1

So I  lost .3 g... I'm not sure but I seem to be slowing down. It was .4 last week and this week .3 - it's still a loss and I know Friday night (couple of drinks and chocolate) put me over my points so that might explain why I didn't have a stella loss this week. Also, because my partner is injured and he insists on walking with me, I haven't been able to get the speed I normally do in a walk - shame! I just might have to get up early tomorrow morning and go for a 'speed' walk.

Otherwise things are good. I tried on a jacket that didn't fit me 3 weeks ago (isn't that crazy), and it actually fit! It was a tiny bit tight, but it didn't look tight and the fact that I could button it up without it looking all stressed was fabulous! I also put on the same dress that I wore 3 weeks ago and I've lost so much weight from my bust that it no longer sits right *sigh*, it's gonna mean new bras isn't it? Bloody expensive they are. 

At the party I went to people started measuring people's bust size - I have no idea why - but anyhow mine was 97cms which isn't so bad except we also measured the boys' chest and they were bigger than me... my boobies aren't small (14-16D) so I feel sad *laughs*.  

Oh I also bought my shoes *grins* they are smexy. I should totally put photos of them on here. 

1.1kg until next goal - god I can't wait to get my motorbike license!

Wii Fit

I decided to weigh myself on Wii Fit. Mostly because it is a more accurate scale. I hadn't been on there in 80 days and I was like hmmm I wonder what I will be... well I've lost 1.2kg in 2.5 months. At least it isn't a gain right!? And that was with me trying really hard and walking every morning for an hour and a half and going to the gym 4 times a week. Crazy stuff!

Anyhow, the difference between my scales and Wii Fit is .7 of a kg. So that's not bad - considering last time I weighed myself it was a difference of 2.5 kg.

Last night I made the weight watchers mushroom risotto and put spinach in it instead of rocket and no cheese. I made a salad to go with it and had some strawberries for dessert - I was hugely full. I ate way too much. A case of too big of eyes for my belly.

1 thing I have noticed is that I eat when I'm bored, or when I'm working to break up my day. I need to listen to when I'm hungry. At least I know that's what I need to do right. As I read today, it's all about small steps.

So my first step is to get food right. Counting the points!
2nd step to get the exercise down.
3rd step to start thinking about more filling options for food like eggs and lentils and beans. More healthy and less processed. This is what I am aiming for.
