Hi to everyone and i hope everyone is well.:) Well i'm 26 and mum of 2 i lost all my weight 2 yrs ago then met the man of my dreams and now i'm fat again. Why does that always happen lol
I am always starting something but i am slowly starting to lose again and thought i'd like to talk to other people for support on to keep on track.
Has anyone got any tips or just wanna chat??? :)
 
Hey fatlady, You shouldn't call yourself that, should call yourself skinny lady cause that's what your gonna be. Hi I'm 41 yr old Mum, and almost a grandmother my daughter is overdue to have a baby girl any day now. I am here to find tips also. I have struggles with bad eating and excersise habits for years. I have made some changes, but need to make more and stick to ones I've made.I lost 12 kgs about 5 yrs ago and felt and looked great, and then I put it all back on gradually and am so disapointed in myself. My goal is to lose it again but keep it off for life. I just started to do some excercises, Jane Fonda workout video, don't laugh. I walk with my husband but he doesn't walk brisk enough for me to benifit from it. Anyway I will chat to you and help you, and maybe you can help and encourage me, I need it.All the best for your weighloss venture
 
Hi suzyq. I know i shouldnt have called myself that but Im in that mind frame of say it first and no one else will haha i also do an old walking tape ive got , it really works Ive also have taebo but after doing that i feel like throwing up lol Congrats on being a grandmother any time soon. A xmas baby that is so special. What are you doing, are you on any programs? There is so many out there its hard to choose and one to maintain. haha It would be great to chat and compare ideas. Talk to you soon and Have a great day
 
Hey skinnylady I just can't call you the other one, I'll call it in for you, I have relatives in New Zealand, in te - puke. My sister and her hubby and grown kids and grandkids. They been there for 25 yrs now. Anyway sounds like you are on the way to losing again what are you doing ? I am back on low fat dairy, and cereals with a bit more fibre, and excercising with Jane fonda 1 hr a day. I feel sort of accountable by being on here,maybe it's really what I need. I like food but have learned to eat 3 plates of food a day, [used to eat a lot more] I do snack but trying to give this up. If I eat 3 plates of food I try to put the 5 food groups on the plates, not at each meal but usually do a mental inventory of the days food. I find it hard to count calories I've never been able to do this. I know why I gained weight again because I kept comprimising, all the good decisions I made, I din't stick to them. I went back on full fat dairy started eating low fibre ceareals.Started eating after dinner again, even getting up during the night [which was a biggy for me]. It is so hard to stick with it.I know what to do and can't seem to keep the consistency going.The discipline of it all seems to torment me, like I'm being deprived, it's funny when I think about it, but I'm sure that it must affect a lot of people. I sometimes think why can't I just be normal, and eat and not gain weight , and not obsese over the scales [as I do]. Anyway hope to here form you soon from Sue in Brisbane Australia.
 
jordone cole, is xanax a diet pil??my daughter tried some diet pills and lost 12kgs really quick then she fell pregnant.ooops Me myself wouldn't do it. I wanna do it with diet and excersise.
 
hi there suzyq how are you doing today? I'm doing pretty good today im following a weight watchers diet plan and i have a treadmill which i use every day pretty much. I'm from melbourne and have been in nz for 4 yrs now i love it over here. i snack heaps but try to eat alot of fruit. hows your daughter any granddaughter yet? keep me posted
 
Hi Skinny lady, sounds like your pretty motivated, My daughter is being induced on wed 20th if she doesn't come by then. Getting close now. Weight watchers is a good diet, my neighbore did it and the food is all balanced which I like, I think that you should always follow a balanced diet, unless your allergic to something. I have been walking every day and did 2 workouts with Jane fonda this week. I need to doo more cardio, I think. I been eating good only a few slip ups with our christmas food hamper in the house makes it a bit harder. Anyway hope you have a great week from Suzy.
 
hi suzyq, At least you will be prepared for her having the baby she will hopefully go before that. I do like weight watchers as i can still eat some of the naughty stuff i love like chocolate. lol :) It sounds like you did really well this week well done i have sucked big time this week i ate so much chinese the other night i could hardly move haha learnt my lesson ill tell you that much haha. I have been walking and am noticing the shelf on my butt disapearing are you noticing any differences in your body or just wellbeing? I love xmas food those little fruit minced tartlets yummy. not helping am i sorry. Anyway keep on track and good luck to your daughter.
 
Hey skinny lady, How's it going, It's funny listnening to everyones stuff ups, we're all human eh. It is hard but if you stay focased, [not giving up] it pays in the long run. I have got some casual work this week so i'ts been keeping my mind off food, when I'm at home the temptations are greater. When I'm busy at work I almost forget about food. Isn't it funny from one extreem to the other. At home always hungry, at work only eat lunch all day and no snacks. Bring on the work I say ha ha. Anyway hope that your over your chinese food now, you've satified that crave. Here from yah God bless from Suzyq.
 
hi suzy, Any news yet?? R u a grandmother yet. Im so excited for you. Im trying for a baby at the moment thats one of the reasons for trying to lose my weight. work does help not needing to eat as you need to keep busy. I work at home so i have no such luck haha now the kids are home from school for 6 weeks i will have to be very strong willed. I am over my chinese and i did enjoy it but i have stayed on track now and am doing well. Hope you are doing well.
 
Hey skinny lady, Yes it's all official I am now the proud grandmother of a baby girl. Her name is Kirra. She was 7lb 9 oz born by ceasarian on the 22nd of dec. She is beautiful. Mum and bub doing well. We had to visit in hospital today for Christmas day.Well I have gained another kg over the last 2 weeks eating rumballs chrissy cake, out for chrissy party dinners. I feel a bit bloated. I ate mangos and healthy fruit and ham. But all the little extras would have been a calorie overload. Tomorrow I will start afresh and get off the high cal snack food.My daughter lost 14 kg just before she fell pregnant, but she did it with doctors pres diet pills.She only ate like an apple all day and a child size meal at night [not good[ I wouln't recommend it to anyone. I was sort of glad she fell pregnant cause it got her eating food again. She went from 58kg up to 84kg while she was prego, and she is only short, so she will be wanting Mum [that's me] to go to the gym with her when she recoverers. Well I hope that you had a great christmas, and happy new year coming up. 2007 the year of the turnaround, hey if we can gradually put weight on we must be able to gradually tke it off. That's the plan eh. God bless talk to you soon from Sue
 
Greetings fatlady (maybe I can abbreviate to FL?), I appreciate the attitude that goes with calling it like you see it, even if I don't like the way it's said. It's good to see you on the board and chatting :D Too often people join a board like this and never even post, so perhaps that attitude will make it easier to drop the size you want to get rid of, eh? ;)

Keep up the good work, and remember to come back :)


See you later! (and congrats on the grammahood, SuzyQ!) ~QJ
 
hi fatlady..

suzyq, congrats on your grand baby girl!

merry x'mas !
cheers..
 
Hi Everyone and Merry Christmas to all
Congrats Sue what a wonderful xmas gift.

I too have put on a kilo and have started fresh today now that all parties are over and for new years we are only having a bbq so not much to worry over. I wouldnt want to lose weight the way your daughter did as in the past i tried a method which overall was great and quick however came back very quick too you need to do a life change not a diet. I think anyway. Id like to join the gym but its alot of money and trying to find the time to go. lol :)
I hope i get it going soon i need to get the sugar out of my system.
Wishing you all well hope you all have a great new years.
 
I admire all of you. I am waiting for the holiday to be over. And starting on January 1st. I know that some people say that it is a way of putting it off. But I am preparing myself. The new year, the new lifestyle.
 
Hi Ibp welcome and good luck for your new lifestyle. if you want we could trade ideas and inspire each other and share our sucesses. Start an online diary it keeps you honest and there are heaps of people to support you through your journey.

If you have a YMCA nearby, you could ask about volunteering to pay for exercise priviledges. I have been thinking about it, but the place is clear across town from me; about a ten mile drive. It's far enough that I don't think I'd go if I did get the free membership, so I am going to look for something closer.
Gym memberships are expensive!
 
Hello QJ

Hi QJ, How you doing. Thanks for the advise to find some free excersise, I like to walk most evenings with my hubby but it is not enough for me, But I have to really motivate myself to do more so the gym would be good for me just need a partner, prob be my daughter soon. Kirra is only a bit over a week old now.So will have to wait awhile.I been making a bowl of muesli for breaky it is really nice and fill you up, so that you don't crave too much carb during the day. I put about half a cup of quick cook oats, and half cup rice bubbles, abot 6 sultanas, and a small handfull of any nuts, then I mix with enough yoghurt to mix. usually about 1 cup or a bit more. then put in fridge till morning and it tastes great. You can also put some fresh fruit on in the morning this fills you up a bit more with a cup af decaff coffee with fat free milk. Try it it's nice and healthy. Anyway gotta go now. I have to say hi ti skinnylady too, how are you , hope to here from yous soon. Suzy
 
hi there QJ and SuzyQ i hope all is well im going back to my meetings and im very excited bout this. I have gone over board on New Years and i am paying for it now. :) But i am on the right track again. And hope to be skinny lady for 2007 :) Hope you are doing well hope to hear from you soon im gonna try your muesli idea it sounds yummy.
