KARINAS WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY

Epic Fail Over

2012-02-19T10:18:00.000+11:00

Forgive me ww for i have sinned again.....well i really thought i had this weight loss thing under control when i started again July last year went great guns for a few months then slowly started to gain back what i lost not all but quite a bit ....i am feeling it in my joints .....i have had to let my on line subscription go for now as money tight at mine with Christmas and dogs needing to go to the vets will be a while on my own well not totally as have the community message boards to go to on ww web site....hubby wants to save for a cruise for next year i have a year to lose my weight buy a new wardrobe of clothes and pay for a cruise ....he said i think that's a good reason to stick to my ww loss journey ....i am going to try and come here at least once a week or more regular to track my feelings rather than eat them .....Rastas the dog is still not 100% hope he doesn't have to be put down.... he is only a puppy at 9 months :(...Ellie's desexing and dewclaw removal went well she is all good ...now to get Rassy boy better.....i am going to go do my workout now and really try to track everything i eat and drink today and start weighing myself again this week good luck to me xxx

2011-07-06T08:41:00.001+10:00


ears have flopped lol on their way back up

woot! WI this morning shows a loss of 700gms not as good as the scales looked yesterday hence why we don't WI more than once a week I'm stoked with 700gms i was aiming for 500gms per week as i know how slow i lose .....but this time round my weight seems to be coming off quickly i usually drop small amounts actually frustrating amounts so its good..... i luv this pro point plan ......I'm in a great place my head space is great I'm loving life....have to go and workout then get puppies ready for vet check and their needles x

I am feeling awesome at 50

2011-07-05T10:22:00.001+10:00

BEEN A WHILE....NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY .....i started my newest weight loss journey on the 11th of may 2011 its now Tuesday the 5th July i WI tomorrow... i snuck a peak this morning as feeling super lighter what a sneak peak wont reveal in case its not the real weight tomorrow it looked awesome though ...

me and my killer cocktail pic from my 50th birthday

me my besty and sister Sammy pic from my family 50th birthday

i turned 50 last WI day so had birthday drinks and ended up smashed after 6 beers my cousin Johno bought be a birthday cocktail OMG it completely wrecked me i went home and that was it.... i spewed had head spins couldn't talk went to bed lucky it was weigh in day that morning as didn't get to have my tea so have had a week to hopefully fix it as went under points..... lol .....who goes under points on their birthday ??? anyways feeling lighter i popped on the scales for a peak and WI is looking really good today .....but can change by tomorrow so have to wait and see....:) not sure if i mentioned having 2 new puppies after losing Sheena ...hubby and i each got a puppy each for our birthdays they are beautiful has helped with losing Sheena as i feel her spirit is in my new puppy she is wise for a puppy and dose a lot of things Sheena did its too weird for words.... we are happy to think sheen's spirit has a new home and i hug her every time i see her......they are both walking a lot further now so wont be long and an hours workout will be working the dogs plus my other exercise.....i feel im going to be at goal just after Christmas if not before....im feeling so much better about myself now as the weight i put on is coming back off i gained about 15kg of my 23kg lost was sad about it and couldn't work out why i let it get that far i didn't have far to go to goal weight was 6 kg to high range and then i wanted to lose a little more as being only 5 feet tall carry any excess weight on my thighs and butt lol........im luving the new pro points they are awesome i don't use the stash points a lot but have done for birthday celebrations and still lost weight....this time around my weight so far seems to be falling off me and boy am i happy .im doing it on line thought that would be harder but its not ..i said to hubby do you think i will get to goal this time and without hesitation he said yep i know you will....he is always doubtful as i have attempted many times.....this time im including things i like.... like a drink when im out although after my birthday im not interested in alcohol lol....im choosing healthy over not so healthy....plenty of exercise....using food as fuel not something to munch aimlessly on.....just looking at everything different this time and its working well so far ....im in some great challenges with some very awesome people i think they help me a lot with their words of wisdom....

Well on my way to success

2011-05-31T11:29:00.000+10:00

My 3rd WI this week is tomorrow... i took a sneak peak yesterday morn i was down 700gms....just wanted to see if having the beers last night affects my loss tomorrow... knew i had lost weight so wanted to know if i still lose that amount or not after 4 beers....even though i stuck to my plan there's always that little doubt in your mind... im excited that i went out and followed my plan....if i still lose that 700gms that's 4kg plus my first 5% goal since starting back i have decided to go little 5% goals to get to goal this time.....i have been exercising daily and getting into my challenges some lovely peeps on the boards all with the same goals to be thin im pretty sure they are helping me with my journey....
on another note we have decided to buy another German shepherd puppy will wait til the weather is a little warmer though as would hate to have to get up and go outside to comfort a new puppy at 3 in the morning with ice on the ground ......im off to see my daughter for a quick hug before she goes to work then back home to do some sewing for my market next Sunday :)

I have been out of control but im back :)

2011-05-21T19:32:00.008+10:00

What a bad year or so i have had struggling to gain control over my weight loss failing at every attempt....i decided enough was enough and joined on line....the switch came on inside of me i have been trying my hardest to get it to come on but it wouldn't i have know idea what it was that triggered this but i am very thankful it did...first week was really easy and lost 2.7kg....this being my second week has been just as easy still a few days til weigh in day....I'm guessing it will only be a small loss because i have never lost that much first weigh in before ...i am a very slow loser so i am hoping this time round my weight may come of a little faster i am one that loses like 100 and 200 gm a week don't get me wrong they are good losses they all ad up but just so slow...

i'm amazed i stayed in control last week as i had to consent to the vet putting my beautiful German shepherd Sheena to sleep she would have died in agony over night so i had no choice i was devastated ....my daughter and her girl friend were with me we decided to stay with her i was so sad wasn't expecting to have to put her to sleep.....i had to leave her there at the vets as hubby was out of action i had to ask my brother to come over the next day and dig a hole for me so i could go pick her up....he did it for me i picked her up and took her for her last drive and wheel barrow ride around the back where i laid her to rest and then filled the hole....couldn't believe i was doing it :(feeling sad now so that is all :(

A change Needs To Take place In My MInd Body & Soul

2011-02-08T10:35:00.002+11:00

A CHANGE NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN MY MIND BODY AND SOUL........................i wear black i think black i am black im hiding away............i want out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i tried on a shirt that fitted last year a white dressy shirt with a collar 3/4 sleeves was tight.....i bought it to go with my black jeans and black leather vest for a wedding..... the colour looked so different on me i put a pink singlet top over it i still had my grey t shirt pj pants on omg i haven't wore anything but black for so long it looked weird in a strange kind of way ............if everything wasn't so tight i would actually like to wear it out......i want colour back in my life blue pink mauve yes yes yes.....i have been thinking the only times i have ever gotten anywhere near goal weight i stopped drinking alcohol completely and gave the weight loss exercise plan my 110% effort .....I'm on a no way win track on plan off plan on plan off plan yo yo plan i guess you would say........i want to say that I'm going to go on the ww pro points plan for the last time and get to goal and never ever look back but i have said it so many many many times its like even i don't believe it any more today when i tried those clothes on and looked into the mirror that i looked in 20 years ago when i was a petite size 10 i was horrified but something in my heart said you can be that again you just have to do it ...NO MORE EXCUSES!!!....... so i know i can do it whats stopping me????...ITS ME....i have to go about doing this weight loss thing completely different this time.... I'm off to do some sewing and give it some thought a lot of thought mmm i want that switch in my head to turn on because when it dose i know there is no stopping me it has come on and flick off so many times lately i want it on and stay on for good!

weigh in

2011-01-24T11:20:00.002+11:00

weighed in at the same weight as start date :( but all my own fault i went over points with too many drinking sessions over the last 3 days i am going to try and have no alcohol for the next week....shouldn't be a problem as a little broke lol ....however i did manage to exercise all but one day so that's a plus maybe why i didn't actually gain ....i kind of feel like I'm treading water going nowhere staying the same weight on maintenance would be a great thing....i feel like just getting my mouth sewn up ....i was even thinking about the cabbage soup kick start diet but well if you have tried it you know yuk anyways onwards i plod

Day 3 All Is Well!

2011-01-19T10:31:00.002+11:00

Wow day 3 I'm still doing it .....it has been weeks since i have myself in control of my eating I'm really pleased with myself ...it feels great to not feel guilty over what i put in my mouth...yesterday i did 45 Min's of walk aerobics with hand weight.....i ate healthy although did splurge on some chocolate for 4 point very nice points i might add lol and have a few vb beers that cost me a whopping 24 bonus propoints but i had them there to use and the occasion came up so enjoyed every propoint didn't waist a drop lol....it will be interesting to see my weigh in this week....I'm off to do some sewing now not too much else happening today tony is getting some tattoo work finished that's about it :)

Day 2 still here!

2011-01-18T13:07:00.005+11:00

well I'm surprised I am still here doing it ....I made it through day one with 60 minutes of walk aerobics with hand weights stuck to points ate healthy I did use 2 of my 4 exercise points earned.... no alcohol yesterday pretty pleased with myself actually..... a day at a time i can do this yes i can :)

What The Hell Have I Been Doing?????

2011-01-17T10:29:00.004+11:00

Why i have set myself up to fail day after day i don't know! I have been stuffing myself around for the last year and a half all this time waisted.... i could have been at goal weight now!
i woke up today with a new attitude it feels good i seem to have my mojo back.....I'm writing down my points done an hour of aerobics walking and weights....i have a spring in my step....i have been trying to find this feeling i use to have it felt great i finally realised today it;s the feeling you have when your thin i was a happy out going girl that loved fashion now i were black jeans big black tshirts and vest every time i go out the black t always has a different print though....i want a make over this year... firstly the body fat has to go its do able i know as i have done it before.....i can do this if i give it as much effort as i do to be fat should be easy but it isn't at times is it? I'm turning 50 this year but still get told i look 40 id like to have a younger looking body also to match the younger face so ...well here goes me :)

Yay Finally Losing Again!

2010-06-22T23:05:00.004+10:00

Yay weighed in this week first week on WW on line program and lost 1.3kg ....i am totally stoked first loss in like forever well it seems like forever at least the scales are going the right way now onward and downwards.sticking to points better this week as used my exercise points last week.exercise has been great done over an hour every day.

New Start Yes Again

2010-06-14T12:57:00.005+10:00

Went out and bought new scales digital this time so i can see the tiny losses about to join weight watchers on line...New scales say I'm 2.8kg heavier than my old scales say so not a good day.Angry i have gained so much of my lost weight but think fresh start will be a good idea and i have still lost 16.5 kg so that's a good start i think I have gained back 7.1 kg well at least i haven't gained all my weight back i now have a starting weight of 72.8kg here goes me.....:)

I SUCK

2010-05-19T15:43:00.003+10:00

WELL I SUCK blown every attempt to get back on track will i ever get there!!! I've gained 6 kg back after losing 23kg not happy ....i still exercise but the eating plan is shit have to make an effort i cant go back to being that size i just can't .i want to join weight watchers again but have to wait to get funds. i went well by myself for a few months then lost it.want to join the on line one this time as can't always make it to meetings....plus its half the cost.....my neck muscles are out and its peeing me off...makes exercise harder but still making myself do it as other wise id be heaps bigger......maybe now i have typed this down and got it out of my head i can move forward i hope so...well have to go take my new little Persian kitty to get her needle :( v8 molly and daughter

So i start again

2010-02-03T10:58:00.002+11:00

Well time to start again haven't been great for a while now ....I'm still exercising although the food plan went out the window...and you need to do both....I'm going to join WW on line on Monday as hoping to have enough money after markets to do so i guess ill have to get better scales as mine aren't accurate and every gram helps ....I'm glad i have decided to do this as don't want to be where i was before i lost my weight......anyways have to go need a work out and then have to do some market sewing been slack with that too...cant believe its February Billie Joe turned 20 yesterday unbelievable how quick those 20 went LOL...... cheers

happy new year

2009-12-31T21:36:00.004+11:00

It's NEW YEARS EVE I'm home alone Tony's band is playing up the road at the pub don't feel like going out .we decided to have a few beers tomorrow as tony doesn't drink when playing as its work so the beers are ready for tomorrow .I'm reading the Gabriel method again i really think he has the weight loss answers.just need to turn off the fat mode makes a lot of sense hope it works.
I'm finishing with weight watchers for now as too expensive at this time no cash flow. so I'm hoping to get the rest off myself as Ive been at this weight for months i have stabilized so think I'm ready to shed the rest.so planning on a total overhaul on my routine to shake it up I'm in a rut but that's good i have maintained that's not a bad thing i don't think.anyways happy new year cheers

merry xmas time

2009-12-26T13:00:00.003+11:00

Well the festive season is nearly done yay .....i only had six beers yesterday and wasnt too bad food wise .....i got up and done a 45 minute leslie sansone workout....going out tonight tonys band is playing at the club so will get a little more exercise there lol ....was a different xmas day the girls both stayed here so they could wake up to christmas morning at home which was really nice they came to tonys mums for xmas lunch then went home to their place....after we visited my parents first ...dads had a bad lead up to chrissy he was in hospital for 10 days after collapsing while shopping he ended up with a pacemaker his 72 today glad he is still around HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD ....i was really stressed leading up to xmas i am so going to do everything different next year ...theres alot to say about planning ahead lol....i plan on dropping my last 8 kg over the next six months i have had to let my weight watchers go cant afford it at the moment im paid up til jan 22 2010 i havent been making it to meetings so seems a waist of money maybe i can do it on line as its cheaper ....ill see how the money pans out anyway merry christmas.

RIP CINDY MISS YOU

MY GOD ITS BEEN FOREVER SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON HERE ....have been busy working and doing life.......been struggling of late to stay focused on me and my weight loss journey.......went back to my meeting last week after five weeks away.....a gain of 700gms which wasnt too bad considering i got ttotm that night and had boobs that felt more like rocks they were that heavey.....the scales were good to me at home when i got on them on sunday night before i drank my beers after a long week of sewing til 1 am every night and doing my market on sunday that i was up at 4.30am for..... it was a hot long day all i could think about were those cold vb in my fridge...lol....if i gain sobe it i had the points saved for them.....i tend to retain fluid after a drink so itll go again.....i have hives im scrating like a dog with fleas going to get something for them today as if i exercise they heat up and drive me nutts......anyways im back at this weight loss journey taking way longer than it should but still plodding along thats the main thing ....

Dad certainly knows how to wipe a smile from ones face i was so happy about the 1.8kg loss then he rings saying he wasn't feeling to good mum was line dancing at Tamworth 3 hours away.....my brother had to go pick her up ....anyways hubby raced over and took him to casualty ....they took him to another hospital by ambulance where hes been ever since .....but hes good that's the main thing....he'd had a mild heart attack....hes looking forward to getting out...
haven't been exercising twice a day this week as been way too hot so only doing an hour or so due for ttotm so don't expect a loss after last weeks effort I'm guessing ill gain but not worried as it dose seem to happen and then comes off....anyways thats it cheers

WOOHOO LUV WEIGH IN THIS WEEK

2009-01-21T20:41:00.003+11:00

Have to brag lost 1.8kg this week scales finally showed my good efforts .....Ive lost 18kg now cant believe it i weigh 70.7kg I'm nearly a 60s girl i feel so proud ....i remember sitting at my meeting months ago and a lady saying she'd lost 18kg i remember thinking how great that was to be able to change your life style to be able to lose that its a massive amount....its taken a lot of effort and a complete life style change but its been all worth it i look in the mirror and see me now ...I'm more confident i look healthier i definitely look slimmer Ive put a pic on but its quite a crappy one but i'm putting it on because i can see i look thinner i don't look fat anymore... to me and that's a big thing for me to say .....how good will it be to be at goal i don't think ill sleep that night lol bring on the 60s yay then the 50s bring them on cheers :)))

Night Out

2009-01-18T12:02:00.004+11:00

Went out last night ....had a few ales was nice to get out think Ive needed that for a while to break the monotony .....stuck to my points used a few bonus points that id saved still have a heaps i wont use....going by my scales id lost 1kg before i went out and going by my scales today I'm still 1 kg down but who knows what will happen weigh in day ....doesn't matter I'm looking and feeling healthy had my fringe trimmed well thinned it's so thick .... yesterday put a colour in my hair its dark but has a red tinge might take a pic might not lol anyways I'm feeling great today have done my workout this morning I'm going to make french toast for lunch ....then going to get stuck into my sewing with the headphones on and the music blasting no kids till later hubbies asleep for a bit so better wear the head phones lol .. just read my post god i have a boaring life sometimes ...need to spice it up a bit cheers:)

muscle verses fat

2009-01-17T14:36:00.003+11:00

A lady said quote "1kg of fat weighs the same as 1kg of muscle, they both weigh a kilogram! Its their volume (or size) that is different. Muscle is heaps denser than fat. A block of fat takes up more space than a block of muscle. So measure away (although plateaus are very frustrating even if you are shrinking).makes sense to me"unquote
Another said quote"The weight verses mass this is correct.. its very interesting to actually see it as well. BUT for a woman to put on muscle mass ( like a lot as in 500 grams in a week) you would be needing to be on a a full protein enriched diet and doing hard out weights and lots of cardio, like training for a body builders comp."unquote I found both statements interesting ..... When I stated 500gms in previous days blog i was only using as an example and yes plateaus also have a lot to do with weight loss being weird....so will keep striving to beat the gain on the scales this muscle verse fat thing is doing my head in cheers

Theory On Why I Dont Lose When Ive Put In a Massive Effort

2009-01-15T15:09:00.005+11:00

Yep the theory as far as the weight loss goes i think i know what it is.... the muscle gain ...and i can live with that....apparently muscle and fat weigh the same.....always thought muscle was heavier .....apparently fat takes up more room than muscle so there fore if i lose 500gms in weight (fat weight) one week but have replaced it with 500gms of muscle it wont show on the scales but dose show on the body....and the bonus is that the muscle you have gained burns more kilojoules so your body not only looks better leaner sleeker and fitter it more efficient at burning off what we eat ....so I'm not stressing about the scales anymore i know I'm following the plan to a TEE and doing my fair share of exercise ....and drinking heaps of water ....so who cares what the scales dish out ....I'm gaining my muscle back they ll help lift the saggy bits lol pays to read into stuff i have racked my brain for weeks over the why why why now I'm sure i know why....cheers :))

Feeling Better

2009-01-15T08:37:00.002+11:00

Funny what a good night sleep can do ...i feel much more like myself today ....realised I'm happy with my weight loss its showing I'm leaner slimmer healthier fitter what more dose one want...TO BE AT BLOODY GOAL OF COURSE...ill get there eventually all in good time....I'm off to do my workout.. a bit soar especially butt and quads from squats yesterday......so i found the deep muscles that have been hiding lol they ll be looking good in no time now as long as i keep it up ....of course i will... cough cough ...anyways better day today all is good cheers

LOST 100GMS

2009-01-14T20:23:00.002+11:00

Weighed in tonight and lost 100grams ....still have 500gms gained last week to get back to where i was....why is it i gain then lose when I'm exercising 2 hours a day eating my amount of points 18 saving the bonus ones drinking my water.......making healthy choices other people have lost doing all that and not had a gain this happened once before and i chucked it in after a while of frustration not going to this time I'm going to battle this one out to the end if it kills me.....got on the boards tonight didn't have much to say though....hope I'm out of this mood tomorrow..... i think i need a day out or a night cheers

WHATS GOING ON

2009-01-14T12:36:00.003+11:00

Whats going on with me???? i feel flat ...i gained 600gms last weigh in was a bit peed but got over it as its how i seem to go i gain i lose and lose some more then gain and lose ....weird way to do it but as I'm doing everything as i should will have to roll with it....i have changed my workout routine... so i do an hour in the morning and then another hour in the evening ....thought might shake it up a bit ...did some spot toning as well today.Haven't wanted to get on the ww message boards and i have always wanted to since joining ....I'm in weird place cant stop thinking about my brother rick R.I.P.Hes not coming back and there s not a thing i can do about it ....i don't feel like talking to anyone these days ....talk to mum that's it....maybe ttotm is coming hormones are weird these days ....cry if i read something sad I'm becoming a nutter lol ......
Anyways i weigh in tonight don't think Ive lost i feel like i gained again ....that will really piss me off if do... i have worked harder than i have.....i feel plateaus time is near think might have to eat some of my bonus points ....to me that defeats the purpose might as well not do the extra workout will wait and see....the plus on all this my body has changed i can see my elbows again and my knees are almost back my butt has shrunken heaps ....my daughter asked were my butt had gone lol she said every time she shes me i seemed to have shrunk more....
went shopping yesterday and bought a youths pair of size 5 joggers to wear for $14.88 bargain so my feet are shrinking too...lol....CHEERS

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2008-12-11T17:32:00.004+11:00

Well i was stoked last night .....when i got on the scales and id lost 1.5 kg ...Ive had a weird month with weight loss monthlies were late gained 800gms one week for no apparent reason then lost the 800grams the next week then had a 200gm loss.....so this weeks 1.5kg was welcome as Ive worked hard all month so was a bit off about the losses so far so I'm guessing i had excess fluid but happy now Ive lost 14.7kg all up nearly half way....a bit excited that ill one day next year be wearing my favourite jeans....have to get tea ready...the girls have gone shopping with their friend....so quiet night tonight

WEDDING TODAY

2008-11-29T22:45:00.002+11:00

was pd but what can you do

2008-11-21T19:06:00.003+11:00

Well wasn't happy with weigh in but let it go ......i gained 800gms doing everything i do and have done but its ttotm coming and Ive had a good run every month except for one other.....got on the scales tonight and it appears to have gone again but wont know til Wednesday....i know it was fluid as my lips feel puffy when i retain it....
i went shopping with mum today .....was so disappointed when i got changed in the rooms someone should smash their mirrors they suck big time.......finally have a bra that fits and a new pair of jeans and a new shirt going to a wedding next week i don't do dresses so jeans shirt and vest that's me....every one would fall over if i wore a dress and shoes god i would fall over if i did.
Been doing my workouts as usual drinking my water and sticking to my points still saving my bonus points towards my weight loss.... i really want to get on those scales and see the 800gms gone plus some for last week and this week but with ttotm looming wont hold my breath .......I've been doing around 90 minutes advanced walk aerobics every day and that's what ill try and do every day......just talked to hubby about weight training when I've dropped to 70kg if looking too saggy ....I've decided on a boob job for my 50Th lol hey i might need a face lift instead lol haven't got wrinkles yet just a few lines at my eyes but most likely will when lose all the weight.....cheers

RIP BEAUTIFUL BROTHER

2008-09-13T22:02:00.004+10:00

RICK I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU
YOU WERE SUCH A CRACK UP
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART
LUV YOU
MY BEAUTIFUL BROTHER

3RD AUGUST 1963 -13TH SEPTEMBER 2007

I Only Wanted You
They say memories are golden
Well maybe that is true I never wanted memories
I only wanted you
A million times I needed you
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
In life I love you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
No one could ever fill
If tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again

THIS POEM WAS SENT TO ME

Hey I'm feeling good today i weighed in at ww last night and lost 2.4 kg......I'm pretty stoked i must say .....I worked dam hard for it to so it didnt just fall off.....the meeting was great and really interesting we talked about how different people need different foods to keep them energized........i'd been thinking along those lines .....so was good to hear someone explain how it all worked for them and has done so for 10 years .....our leader for the night said time your foods see how long different foods work for you before your hungry ....like porridge i can go 3 hours on a serve of porridge but on a different cereal would be hungry within an hour and a half our leader talked of hour if she goes shopping and eats say an apple to keep hunger away its no good to her as with in 10 mins shes hungry.......but if she has a pear she can go an hour on that.......so its all about what works for me so im timing and listening to my body.......i needed a new way to look at the food process thing....as well its all about when you eat as well dont leave all the points til night spread them out so you have plenty of energy through out the day......
ive shopped ive eaten ived cleaned house and ive exercised now i'm going to do some sewing for my market on sunday.......cheers

Everythings Great

2008-03-28T20:49:00.003+11:00

Well I haven't been on here for a few days......but not because I'm down or not sticking to program just flat out looking after things here I've been exercising every day sticking to points plan and sewing madly.
Hey Karen thanks for stopping by yep it was my brother that passed away's best mate that was bitten by the brown snake he was on the news a bit a talk back radio lol he's all good now .Now we can kick his butt oh and he's my x hubby from way back we were 18 so way back so i can really kick it lol just happy he made it.
I'm really happy with myself this week I'm on track I know where I'm at this week I seem to have the click that we all need to start the weight loss program.You know the day you get up and you say well this is it this is the day i start and you wake up every day feeling the same and it makes it all so easy.I've been here so many times and almost made it and every time something unclicks i want this time to be the click of all clicks I need this at this point in my life. If i can't make it this time I never can,so my mind is doing over time I'm so feeding it with all positives it's not funny.
Yeah I know I sound crazy but I don't know any other way to explain it.All I know is I'm on track for the first time in a long time and I'm stoked.Cheers x

Well What A Day!

2008-03-25T22:28:00.004+11:00

What can i say about today......well i'll start with weigh in i gained big time......1.2kg but instead of staying off track and wollowing in self pitty i had a change of heart. I exercised ,I ate properly not normal reaction for me especially when Ive had a stressful emotional time and didnt turn to food. My brothers best mate has been on ventilator fighting for his life he was bitten twice by a brown snake late yesterday but hes pulled through so great end to bad situation......
Something has clicked inside of me.
I feel really motivated I've been reading my ww books the whole show .I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow to do it all again.....cheers x

Sorry About The Capitals

2008-03-24T11:42:00.003+11:00

Hi sorry about using capitals aparently it means im shouting,well i am a rather loud person but i didnt mean to shout im one of 7 down to 5 now so had to grow up being loud to be heard. Anyways ive fixed that problem thanks for that comment I just really didnt think people would read my comments .
Havent been on much this week have been struggling with the voice in my head ,you know that one that tells you your hopeless you cant do it your worth less .Well i think ive kicked his butt out of here .
Im still struggling with Ricks death and lady called Karen left a comment and mentioned a few things i could do when finding it hard to deal .They were all great ideas thanks Karen but i still used the food most of the time.Will try harder and use some of your ideas the next time it happens.Oh and thanks for the hugs :)
I do have my good days and im hoping this is another good start .
I listened to my weight loss hypnosis cd today so all good thoughts to start with......anyone who hasnt tried one i think they are good you seem to have more self esteme nicer thoughts in your head.anyways might be back on today to say how my day went...happy thoughts cheers x

2008-03-06T20:03:00.001+11:00

Well todays Thursday 6th march 2008 its now 8pm i'mm starting this blog to help me keep on track with my weight loss I'm 84.5 kg very obese for me being only 152 cm or 5 foot tall I've stuggled with my weight for around 10 years now .Up and down every attemp a fail so its getting harder to stay on track and my butt's getting bigger.I've lost my mojo so to speak .
I do feel feel better just getting this crap off my chest i guess this might be a good thing .I have no idea if this is what im suppose to be doing on here . Its all trial and error so long as it helps i guess it dosent matter.
I can't wait to feel better about myself ,wish me luck I'll need it Cheers :)
