Man, if you guys find one, let me know. That would be totally awesome! My hubby and I are fans and would love one - we'd just start eating toast just so that we could burn 'Metallica' into it ahaha.

:iagree:

Well done Jess :) You're doing so awesome! You will be a size 14 in NO time!
 
Whoa look at that collar bone poppin out ;) That's so awesome you are almost to your goal. Don't you ditch us after you're done losing!
 
Thanks Island Girl :)
Sunflower - :)
Lol Tigs :)
Hey Lisa, Will keep my eyes peeled ha ha! I still remember breaking my wrist in year 7 and I got my big brother to do the Metallica sign in huge letters on my cast. I thought I was so cool! Lol
Thanks Day, you're looking great in your profile pic, and far out you've lost heaps of weight. I think you're awesome :)

Thanks so much for the kind words everyone, I'll definitely be sticking around after I get to my goal. Maintainance is my biggest worry but with you guys and this forum as support, I think I'll be right this time.
 
wow looking good in the photos! congrats on the 1.5kg loss, thats pretty cool. I find i'm similar, ill sit on one weight for a while then suddenly loose a kg or two. though mine seems to never last more than a week or so, so if i weighed every week i wouldn't notice much :D
 
Thanks Wishes! It's weird isn't it?

Great day today, I scored another compliment from one of the grannies at work (my voluntary job). She said she could really notice a difference :)


Brekky - Huge banana
Lunch - Wholegrain wrap with lettuce, tomato, 1 slice low fat cheese, cucumber and marinated steak. It was not what I felt like and tasted like poo. Don't you hate that?
Snack - 2 dried figs and 4 raw walnuts.
Dinner will be Veggie soup with 1 slice of wholegrain bread.

Feeling great but am stressing I haven't exercised enough today. We have gale forced winds and there's no way I'm walking in it! Will do weights and hopefully get on the Wii Fit sarvo, but it's hard when the kids are on hols wanting attention all the time!
 
Hey Jello, yep I make most of my own soup, love it! They're always different too, depending on what's in the fridge at the time :)

I do buy one brand though - Velish. They're the tastiest veggie soups!

I didn't end up doing ANY exercise yesterday :( it was kind of nice though.
 
I love nice wholesome, healthy soups - but no one else in my house is a big fan. So I cook up HUGE batches and just reheat for myself and cook something else for everyone else.

Some days it's a real pain in the arse cooking 2 meals all the time.

I can relate Tigs - I have a kid who's fussy and one who'll eat anything so I end up cooking separate meals a fair bit too :(

I love a hearty veggie soup but always make WAY too much - I need to downsize my cauldron or something! Lol

I had a great day today - I needed some new boardies to swim in and guess what? SIZE 14 BABY!!! Oh yeah! I tried a pair on, and will admit they're tight, but I didn't care. They were ON!!! A couple more weeks and they'll be perfect anyway :) One disturbing was seeing my knees in the K=Mart mirror though, they look gross! I was shocked at how fat and 'blobby they look. I don't think I've looked at them (the only mirror in our house is the bathroom mirror) for years... That was a bit disappointing but I'll just keep working on them. Man they must have looked pretty rough a few months ago then...

Food today wasn't really enough but here it is:
Brekky - Large banana
Snack - A carrot
Lunch- Chicken strifry with brown rice, onion, capsicum, beans, broccoli and mushrooms. Sweet chilli.ginger/soy marinade.
Dinner - Half a cup of low fat cottage cheese and 2 slices of wholegrain bread.
Snack - 6 raw walnuts.
I've taken to chewing sugarfree extra chewing gum too.

LMAO. I can so relate. A few months back I was literally startled by my own fat reflection when I suddenly came upon a mirror on the side of the escalator at the mall. XD Well those day will be long gone soon for both of us :)

Just wanted to do a quick drive by Merry Christmas, doll. Happy new years too :)
 
Yay Jess! Congrats on fitting into a size 14 :D YAY!! :hurray: :party: hehehe

You're doing awesome babe!

In regards to the knee thing, personally, fat or skinny, I've always found knees to be the most unsightly of areas on a persons body. They're just the weirdest looking things ever! I cover up my knees all the time, I'm so paranoid about people looking at them lol!

I did just that today - loads of soup in the freezer now :)

:) Let's hope so Day! Like you, I was totally shocked...
Merry Christmas to you too mate :santa: all the best for 2011 too! Glad you stopped by :) Hope Santa hooked you pu with some great prezzies. We got our son lots of new Nintendo games so I'm in heaven at the moment. LOVE the New Super Mario Bros on Wii. AWESOME!

Thanks Aussiegal :) Lol they are bizarre aren't they when you think about it!

Christmas day was great, we just had a nice day with the kids, it was a beautiful sunny day and the kids were given a Slip 'n' Slide so we put it in the front yard and they went for it! It was loads of fun. I cooked roast chook and veggies for lunch for my Hubby and Daughter. All my son wanted was a vegemite sandwich so how easy was that!
I had my usual healthy stir fry and all kept to my diet.

Hope you're all having fun :) Merry Christmas!
 
I just had to post some good news! :D
I threw all my size 16 jeans and pants out today! Well I kept a few pairs to sell on eBay actually :) But I'm officially a 14 all over now. I made my goal with a week to spare. I don't know how because I only lost 0.5 kg last week (weigh in was Christmas day). Maybe the fat just shifted?

I'm so happy! And some more good news, for the first time ever I braved the Boxing day sales (I've been squirrelling money away for months for this) and got pretty much an entire new wardrobe for next to nothing! All 14's :) I can't believe how many things I got and all for just $100! 2 pair of pants (awesome leggings and harem pants I've been wanting for ages), and about 12 tops. Lots of girly stuff too so I really went out of my comfort zone. I only bought one man-tshirt.

The feeling I have right now is worth more than any chocolate in the universe lol.

Oh and one more thing that's awesome is that next year's resolution is already happening. No more 'I swear I'm going to do it this year'. I'm finally doing it!
