Woo-hoo! There's 5Kg less of me!

[Jen]

good on ya Les

[shelltree (Shelley)]

Woohoo! You and Eric are doing so well, good on you both

Pretty sure I've put on a heap of weight since my holidays

Need to get back into the swing of things, which has been very very hard Have had a stressful few weeks although I know that is no excuse...

Time to get back to it and get down to my goal weight!

[shelltree (Shelley)]

Got back up to 89.9kg after holidays and lots and LOTS of bad food over Easter Got my butt into gear and back down to 85.55kg now! 1kg away from May's goal, hoping to smash it

How is everyone else doing!? This thread is a little deserted!

[erick (Eric)]

Great work, Shelley!

I'm bouncing along in the 91-93kg range, depending if I have a good (bad!) weekend with food. I have to do something to break through the barrier! Back to the gym tomorrow morning after a bad head cold for several days.

[erick (Eric)]

Let's check in and see how we are doing.

I am consistently under 90 kg now and feeling just great! All my belts are at the last hole now.

I've got close to 87kg a few times, which I think is my ultimate target weight, but am usually in the 88s and 89s.

So how is is going, everyone? Who needs some encouragement?

[troypiggo (Troy)]

Congratulations all! I've been on a bit of a diet, and have dropped 20kg since Nov. And that's with no exercise, because I've had a bit of a hernia problem. Weight loss has plateaued a bit lately. But hernia repaired now, and allowed to start exercise in 2 weeks, so hoping to drop some more and get down another 5-10kg!

Troy,

Well done - I've been on a similar mission (done the whole hernia thing twice before - that's no fun!), but with the exercise, sensible eating, and calorie counting etc I've dropped a LARGE amount since last november (a little more than you).

I've been using a gadget called a fitbit from the US ... basically logs your movements, you log your food and calorie intake etc, and it tells you if you're in a calorie deficit or excess situation for the day so you have a good handle on what you need to eat to succeed in your weight loss aim.

It's basically a pedometer on steroids that syncs with your PC and gives you a convenient place to collate all the info.

It's the kind of motorvation a geek like me needs to get of his backside!

Good luck everybody ....

Jamie

Awesome!

Mine has just been thinking a bit more about diet. Not necessarily eating less, but eating the right things at the right time. eg not eating huge pastas or rice meals (carbs) at dinner. Making sure eat protein snacks between meals - keeps the metabolism up. And I've cut back drinking beer heaps. Not as hard as I thought it was going to be.

I've stayed just under 80kg, I would be most comfortable at about 76kg, so a little ways to go yet.

For me, Special K for brekky and Campbells minestrone soup is my lunch weapon of choice, (filling and less kj than 2 slices of bread) and no snacking. I just have to remember that to feel a bit hungry is normal, like feeling the breeze on your face, it is something that should occur as a normal part of living.
I think of hunger a bit like fear before public speaking, I had to learn how to channel fear into enthusiasm and anticipation, I see being hungry now as anticipation for my dinner meal, and I enjoy the feeling!

Congrats to everyone who is keeping the weight under control, the insane kj density of foods now does make it difficult.

Not sure how much weight I have lost but my belt has had to have another hole put in it and my wife is happy she can now put her arms around me and link fingers.

Lost 6kg since October last year. Probably 6 more to go but I'm not in a rush. Lose it slowly, exercise a little, whatch what you eat and you'll be right. I can never give up eating or drinking. That's base load for me.

[supernova1965 (Warren)]

I weighed myself this morning and have lost 10kg in 2 months good job everyone

[erick (Eric)]

Great work team!
