Jess - The road to happiness and health :)

Oh gosh, Jess, I haven't posted in FOREVER!! It was so fun catching up on your accomplishments, loved all the pictures, too! You sound so happy and that is a good thing to see. You must be incredibly excited by how close you are to goal weight. Can't wait for more pictures when you buy all the stuff from your list!!
 
Jess! I love that hat on you!!! Just adorable!

Ok, maybe not adorable. More like sexy gangsta chick or something? :coolgleamA:

I'd love to hear about the hermit crabs for the kiddos. My older girls used to have fish for a number of years, but after a while I ended up being the one to care for them all the time. YUCK! I'm not fond of cleaning fish tanks. But then a couple of years ago the twins decided to 'help' and dumped in 1 whole fresh can and 3/4 of the open can of fish food, plus put some toys in for them to play with. That ended our fish days. But the tank has just been sitting there empty and I've thought about hermit crabs a few times. I know nothing about them though, and don't know how much work they are to care for as I'm sure I'll end up being the one to take over full care of them eventually. I'm thinking they would be better than a dog because no fur all over my house, and not as icky as fish? Let me know how that goes for you. Maybe I'll give it a try one of these days.

Congrats on ANOTHER loss! You are so inspiring girl! Can't wait to see the new clothes you buy!
 
Hello Jess!!!
Cute pics!! I want to see some bikinni ones next time cause I'm sure you can totally rock it! You are so close and it's so inspiring. Really makes me want to keep going to get there.
Glad to see things are going good for you and you are keeping with it. Also thank you so much for thinking of me while I was gone and posting such nice comments in my diary.
Keep it up and have an amazing healthy weekend!!

Hey Laura! Thanks for popping in :)
Thanks so much - yes definitely! Just need to save a bit more now before I can plump up the wardrobe! I'm saving for another bike at the moment so I can ride to work - I sold mine just before I got the job (bloody typical hey?) and now I need another. Can't wait to get it though, I'm going to feel almost sexy riding now I'm so much smaller. I sold all my old leather jacket and pants/wet weather gear and everything so I'll have to get some nice new stuff. Poor hubby - he hardly ever gets new clothes! Lol
I'll have to catch up on your diary too, I never get any time on here anymore :(
Hope you're having a great weekend!

Hey Tigs! Gross! Lol at least they wanted to 'help'!
Our fish tank was never a huge success, we always seemed to have the wrong combination or something and one fish would kill another etc! We only have 1 fish left and we were going to wait until he croaked than use the tank but we couldn't wait. We just bought another small glass tank - it was only $20. I think we might donate the solo fish soon though because I hate cleaning the tank too!

The Hermies are so easy to look after, they just have white sand on the floor of the tank, and we have a tunnel for them to climb on as well as a few large rocks. You need a food bowl, and 2 water bowls too, one with salt water and the other with fresh water. Then you just feed them every day and freshen up the waters. They eat meusli and fresh apple! You can also buy pellets for them at pet shops too. Really low maintainance, you should go for it Tigs. The only thing is because it's so cold over there you might need a small heat lamp or you can buy a flat heating pad that goes under the sand for winter time.

Thanks heaps Tigs - it's weigh in today again and I'll write an update soon :Angel_anim:

Thanks so much Lisa! It's great to see you're back :)
Will do, thanks for visiting! You too :Angel_anim:
 
I finally made it to my goal!
I'm now weighing 64 kg's (141 pounds) and have lost an even 25 kg's (55 pounds).
STOKED!!!
Today I went and bought new work clothes, all size 10! Yay! It was so surreal trying them on... I looked at my reflection in the mirror and was honestly shocked. I'm so happy right now.
I found a new pair of jeans at Vinnies for just $4 too and they're also 10. They fit perfectly and look really cool on :)
I bumped into a mum from the kids school and she freaked out about how much I've lost. She wants me to write her a list of what she needs to do to lose weight! I always thought she was skinny anyway and here she is asking ME for tips lol.

Today I'm thinking of the saying that I read in someone's journal (sorry can't remember who) - Nothing tastes as good as slim feels. I agree wholehartedly with that today... We did grocery shopping this morning and last night I had planned on buying some chocolate for myself, but I ended up saying no thanks!

Now I will try and lose 2 more kg, but I'm not in a huge rush, I'm pretty happy for now anyway, but I will be trying to tone up a bit from here on. I feel a tad floppy in my thighs and butt, olus my arms and stomach of course. I don't feel the need to look perfect though. Life is good and I feel great!
 
OH WOW JESS!!!!!!! Congrats on reaching your goal!! That's freakin awesome! You should pat yourself on the back and go buy some more cute snazzy outfits! =) And take loads and loads of pictures! lol Just strive to maintain in the meantime...right? I'm so proud of ya! Took a lot of hard work, but you did it! How's the hermit crab? Saw some at a store recently and they had all this interesting shells. They were painted neon colors though and had weird shapes! Smart of you to resist the chocolate in the grocery store! =) Keep it up missy! Will be checking in on ya! Hope to hear great things! :party:
 
Thanks so much Soccerrox! You've made my day :)
The Hermits are great! I've seen those colourful shells too, we'll have to buy some soon as I think they're current shells are getting too small.
Thanks so much mate, I will definitely maintain. I refuse to live the way I used to EVER again!
 
Hi I'm new here. But i read a few of your initial posts then looked at your pictures. Its great to see that you've stuck to your program and lost so much weight.

I put my post in the wrong place. Do you know what i can do to get them to move it here? or will they do it anyway?

I look forward to blogging my progress and following that of others too.
 
YOU DID IT!!!!!!

Sending you big HUGS!!! Congrats girl - I am SO PROUD of you!!!

Welcome to the maintaining club. I can't wait to see if you do as well with that as you have with losing.

:party:
 
So proud of you!! You did it! Never a doubt in my mind that you wouldn't though. You were so consistent all the way through. You set your mind to something and didn't stop. You deserve a whole new wardrobe! I bet your family is so proud too. Great work Jess!!!
 
:party:!!! Congratssss!!! You made GOAL!!! That's FABULOUS!! :jump:!! Glad you looked GREAT in your new clothes!!
 
Jess...

WELL DONE!!!!

Fantastic amazing stupendous achievement. You have permission to walk around for at least a month feeling very smug and happy with yourself!!

Seriously though, this is the beginning of the rest of your life! Enjoy the new clothes, enjoy the new body and most of all, enjoy the new confidence!!
 
Hey! Thanks so much you guys, it means so much, your support xx
Sorry it's been so long, have been so busy! All is good and I've maintained really well over the past few weeks. I've actually lost another kilo too. Yay!
Hope everyone is doing great - Happy Easter! It's kryptonite time for us at this time of the year hey?
I'm going to eat chocolate on Sunday and am looking forward to it. The kids are so excited about the Easter Bunny coming. We're going to go and see Hop (Easter Movie) in 3D tomorrow at the movies. I'm not worried if I put on a tiny bit, I'll just lose it over the next couple of weeks. As long as I don't go over 65kg again. That's my bottom line rule for myself.

I've got a day off work today (that's why I've actually had time to post lol!), woo hoo! Long weekend = happy Jess!
Stay strong peoples xx
Have a lovely Easter and remember what's important...!
