Annev's journey to goal!

Yes, it is certainly the amounts that count, but I normally sprinkle cheese all over my bake when I make it....

Re. coke etc. I rarelly drink these soft drinks / soda. I tend to stick to water, sparkling water or at most some orange juice diluted with water. My daughter has never had any coke etc. as we never have it at home. I do understand what you mean about regular coke being too sweet!
 
Just checking in! :)

Feeling better today so managed to put my DS in his pushchair and walk into town for a bit. A bit of fresh air and exercise felt SO good! May even try to make it to the gym tomorrow!

Tried on some jeans in a shop. Did not buy any as I did not like any of them enough, but was excited to be a size smaller than what I currently use! :)
 
Hey sounds great ;)
I was shopping last tuesday and I bougth a new red cloak...it looks great and it was cheap ;)
Unfortunatly it was size 42 (sorry I just know german sizes)...but you know that is not because I am fat, thats because my breast is to big :coolgleamA: okay....it migth be do to both facts :cuss:
 
Woohoo! A size down is awesome! That's the most exciting part of any weight loss for me. It's so hard to see the difference when you see yourself every day, so seeing those numbers go down is fantastic.
 
I saw a neighbour today and she said I have lost weight, so it must be working! :)

I have not been as strickt as I was before though, have had a bit of chocolate and now enjoying a glass of wine. Still, will try to be good for the last two days before the weigh in and hope that there will be some loss to show for my effort.
 
I weighed in today, a day early but it will save me having to stress with that on a Monday morning. I lost 3 lbs, or 1.3kg! :) This is the lightest I have been for 5 years! :)
 
Argh!

I am struggeling now!

I made cinnamon swirls this weekend and they are my downfall. Then they set off my sweet tooth, and I have been eating chocolate too. And the neighbour popped over with a bottle of wine to celebrate finishing her uni dissertation so I could barely refuse, could I?

I have a couple of days to reel myself back in before the weigh in!
 
AH!!! Don't say cinnamon swirls! I'll eat my computer screen... I love sugar too much.

Good luck getting back on track! You can do it!
 
Argh!!! Still struggeling - I need some motivation, please!

I weighed in today and have put on 2 lbs.... I know I have been eating too much, but I also feel rather bloated and i think I put on a couple of pounds exactly 4 weeks ago, so I am hoping that is is just my normal cycle and that it will come off next week. So I am not updating my tracker as this weight is temporary and will come off by next weight in! So there!

Going to see my mum in Norway for 10 days. I know she will put lots of food, cake etc in front of me so I need an action plan to survive. She does have a stationary bike, so I will try to use it for 30 minutes each day when she is at work. Then weekends we are going to take the kids skiing and sledging, so I will try to be extra active with that and burn off some extra calories. I cannot refuse everything mum offers me to eat, but I shall try to stick to one modest serving of each thing rather than going back for more. THat will be hard though - this is mum's home cooking we are talking about here!

I have just been to the gym for 10 minutes on the cross trainer, 35 minutes on the treadmill, weights - and then SPA/sauna, of course - so I hope that will have started me off in the right direction.

Still have a couple of days before we leave, so will try to undo those pounds I put up before then, so I can at least be back at square one when we go.
 
This is my weigh in chart from my FB group with a couple of friends. The weights may be a little off as I have used different weigh ins, but I will copy in on here and use the same ones from now. Since I missed last weeks WI, according to this chart I stayed the same this week as I only put back on what I lost the week before... I guess staying the same sounds better! Anyway, you can see how I put on 1.5 lbs four weeks ago and then lost that and more the week after, so I am hoping for a repeat of that!

5 Jan: Start weight 11 st 8 lbs - Target weight about 10 st 7lbs?? Will see how I feel!
12 Jan: Weekly gain +1.5: - Total lost so far: +1.5
19 Jan: Lost 3 lbs this week - total lost 1.5 lbs
26 Jan: Lost 2 lbs this week - total lost 3.5 lbs

You can do this Annev!

Is your mum not supportive of you trying to lose weight? Since you seem to have a sweet tooth (which I know ALL too well) could you ask her to not offer you any sweets? If she's the 'but-you're-skinny-already' type, maybe even tell a little white lie and say your doctor said you need to cut sugar out of your diet. Or maybe that you have a slight toothache and sugar makes it worse. (I'm a devious one :reddevil:)

Everything else, just stick to modest portions like you said. It shouldn't be too bad! I know you have a lot of willpower, you just need to keep your bikini dreams in mind!
 
oh....visiting parents is baaad for dieting :eek:) Okay my parents actually support my weigth loss as they always told me (and still tell me -_-) I have to loose weight....but as I am at my parents home in the weekends i usually do not care about the calories and on a real usual weekend I lie most of the time in front of the TV (as I do not have one in my flat....or I have one but I can not watch the TV channels, just DVD)and in the evening I go out with friends ;) BUT I still loose weigth although I seriously eat to much in the weekends :cuss:

The only solution I see is: Really just eat when you are hungry and then you can eat what ever you like! My friends made hamburger on friday but as i have eaten 2 hours before I was not hungry and I told them: I am not hungry.....they asked me 2 or 3 times but then they got bored and they ate and I sit beside and drank my diet coke ;p But I really wasn't hungry otherwise I would have eaten at least one ;)
Or you lie....but as I am really bad in liying (seriously....I am not inteligent enough for that or whatever...it never ever worked) this would be no solution for me ;)
 
I knew it was going to be bad, but not quite just how bad... In 12 days I gained 3kg/6lbs DESPITE my attempts at keeping it under controll! :(

On the positive side, when I gain weight fast like that it normally comes off fast as well, so I am now back to where I was. I actually feel motivated by that gain - it made me realise how much better I feel when I am a bit slimmer and has given me the focus I needed to get back on track. So onwards and upwards now.

Managed a trip to the gym today since my husband is here for the weekend. Tomorrow I have an interview for a place at university. 13 years after I started my first degree, I am considering going back and starting from fresh... Tomorrow is also our wedding anniversary, so we are going out for a nice meal in the evening, so the diet will be put temporarily on hold :)
 
Well, the interview went well! All out of my hands now so I can only wait to see what they have to say. No matter what happens, I will be pleased I got this far as they had 1000 applications and only 60 were interviewed.

Went out for a meal at a fab Thai restaurant in the evening, followed by drinks at a bar. We had a lovely time and it was definitely worth putting the diet on hold for the amazing food. Back on track now though, and will eat healthily until my next official weigh in on Monday. :)
 
I have been missing in action for a while as I have been trying to limit the amount of time I spend online... Have to sort everything on my looong to do list before going back to work - my maternity leave is coming to an end.

Anyway, I am back to 71.5kg. I was down to 70.8 briefly... I still have not been below 70kg. I was 69 when I got pg with my daughter in 2003, then after I had her I went down to 70.4 -oh so close, but still not below that magical limit, LOL. So now I am going to push it for a week or two and make that milestone! If I am really dedicated, I can even do it before the next weight in! :)
 
I have so utterly and completely lost the diet motivation! I am at around 72 kg these days - mum being here for the weekend did not help... We are off to Mexico on Sunday, so I am only weeks away from bikini season and feeling rather lumpy and bumpy... Oh well, I won't let that stop me enjoy the sunshine!

Good news is, the heat normally makes me lose a few pounds so I hope the four weeks in Mexico will help me shed a couple. Wouldn't it be great to be below that magic 70kg limit when I get back??? Going to bring my trainers and go for a run or five whilst we are there!
 
ah ....go on...you were on the rigth track and its really easy to come back ;) And I am quite sure you look amazing in your bikini and you will be under 70 soon ;)
