Hey all

I lost 6lbs this week, very chuffed with myself

I'm giving up chocolate and bread for a week to see if it will make another dent in my "12lbs xmas gain".

wish me luck

You are an inspiration! Well done!!

Hi All,
I haven't been on the forum for ages as my makeup budget (and my everything budget ) have been $0 and it has been too depressing. I am still working hard on my PT course and making good progress, going to the gym about 5 times a week and seeing results in fitness, strength and appearance I haven't been trying to lose weight, but I have also lost about 2-3kg (4-7lbs), which is nice
I have been so focussed on my goals lately, I think that (literally) getting moving has really energised my life in general I also feel so much better about myself. This morning I was at the gym at 6am, and I am soooo not a morning person!

6lbs in a week? Oh my goodness! That's quite the loss! It's amazing how much giving up bread can make a difference. Just a few simple adjustments to your health plans like working out more and drinking more water can make a significant difference, too. Nice work!

no budget sucks! I hear ya lilychemgirl Don't you hate how everything comes down to money ~Sigh~

Hi all

Thank you all for your congrats ladies. Really makes my day it does It's just xmas weight, comes off quickly though

As always with a big loose one week I maintained the next At least it's not a gain

I'm writing down what I eat this week because I didn't give up bread last week (I'm a naughty dieter ). I've also brought Mari Windsor pilates dvds and I can already see a difference. Here's hoping it makes a bigger lose next week

You should update your avatar ghost, because I can see from your award photos how much slimmer your face is

HI all

Weigh day again yesterday and I've maintained my weight this week, which I'm very happy about because I've been a bit naughty

I'm not a big drinker, I like a few wines and cider but I only drink anything at xmas and that properly two glasses the entire time (I'd rather have chocolate). I went to my friend house warming get together last friday and I had half a glass (huge glass) of wine and a bit. Total light weight, I was giddy (not tipsy) after that, as long as I stop the giddy goes within 30min to an hour. Of course that's not so bad unless you have crisps and mini carmel squares as well LOL

My and a friend of mine who is doing weight watchers are going to compete this week. We're going to see who can lose the most % this week, wish me luck LOL

Booboo: Yeah I need to update my pic, maybe after karen's waving thing arrive I'll take a pic then and change it.

Every Thursday I tune in to see what happens in the life of Ghost- it's really cool to see your progress. Good for you for maintaining. It's tough to fight the munchies when you're drinking...everyone needs to cut loose every once in a while.
