Breakfast: two toast buttered, 500ml water, 400 ml light blue milk, two eggs scrambled, 3 tablespoons diced bacon cooked in pan with nonstick spray have just seen my first mistake - I buttered my toast, I have taken the initiative and planned my meals for today. chef31 on "Taking the12 week challenge at temple fitness" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/taking-the12-week-challenge-at-temple-fitness#post-579 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 15:12:29 +0000 chef31 579@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ Gee well im on here and im about to type my self into oblivion about losing weight....

But for some reason i fell off the wagon gaining from 1 to 3 kilos a week for an entire year until i had reached my original starting weight of 130 kgs !!!!!!!. STUPID STUPID. soooooooooooooooooooooooooo............ Im starting again but its totally different this time im terrified of the scale i have been trying to lose weight since january and people have told me that i look like ive lost about 10 kilos. i dont think thats true. so im going to stand on the scale on monday and then again in another two weeks. i have been walking power walking on my treadmill and doing winsor pilates 20 minutes 3 times a week and also doing 40 laps in the pool twice a week. i have been sticking to a pretty good diet during the day of oats with a banana and milk for breakfast and 1 egg on two pieces of dry wholemeal toast for lunch. and slow cooker meals and stirfrys for dinner. sounds perfect right????? but theres a little problem called my husband ha ha. he keeps making deserts or going out and buying what we call "binges" which tend to consist of 1 bags of lollies, 1 kingsized block of chocolate, 1 - 1.5 litre of fizz. and maybe some iceream and biscuits. We will then proceed to just munch on it between ourselves after a perfectly fulling dinner until bed where all those excess calories settle themselves god knows where!....... been good tonight so far could have something to do with the fact that my husbands on night shifts lol. ps. its nice to have somewhere to post my thoughts.

I keep bouncing up and down 5kg. Id like to drop it again atm, and also a few extra KG. Currently just getting over surgery (donated a kidney) which has hampered exercise. That plus some poor eating has seen the dreaded 5kg come back, now im eating better to drop it. Today I ate too much liquorice, it was totally yum, but probably not the healthyist! <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif" title=":lol:" class="bb_smilies" /> Tomorrow im up at 6am for a run with my daughters (we're doing 10km auckland marathon). sophana on "target weight 125" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/target-weight-125#post-553 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:55:39 +0000 sophana 553@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ 78.5 kg thats 175 lbs tryin to loose 50lbs..

Myself and my now, fiancé, will be getting married early next year. We've been doing very IRREGULAR exercise for a while, but now that we are getting married, what better motivation to stick to it? I thought we could track our progress by joining a weight loss forum, and in case we started becoming slack, at least there would be someone to give us the hurry-up. We didn't want to join a big forum type thing, so after some searching we stumbled upon this one. A smaller group would be of more benefit to us than a large one. Groom.

Today I have decided to take an active approach to weight loss and healthy eating.I will be using this forum to record my journey. I have set my goal weight loss at 10kgs. I have made a conscious decision to exercise daily, choose healthy food options and enjoy the journey that I have once travelled before. My decision came today, when I noticed that my breasts were touching my stomach ... ewwwl.... I am now also noticing that it is hard for me to cross my legs and my body feels like it is swelling a little more each day. Now thats not how I want to remember my late 30's. So today ... Is the day. Weight: 75kgs ...

Target 63 kilos Current weight 70 kilos, ( this is way down from the 120 kilos I weighed 5 years ago, but have been around this weight for at least a year) Amazed to only weigh 70 kilos yesterday, considering Christmas and a decadent several days in Wellington involving copious amounts of Baileys and Sauvignon Blanc. I do want to post some photos of when I was 120 kilos but I do not have any digital ones so will have to look my through box of old photos and scan, as I was so fat I normally hid from the camera, but I am hoping to find something, shadz35 on "SHADZ'S DIARY" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/shadzs-diary#post-419 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:22:17 +0000 shadz35 419@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ I'M NEW AND READY TO DO... THE HEALTHY EATING[b] For the past two nights I have been reading the website and have found it really awesome info, soooooo if you see this Liz, thankyou it greats that you created this and your from New Zealand and I'm sooooo blown away with your results.. Today was my first day, about to go to bed, but so happy with myself that I made it through the day. I've always found the first day the hardest. Really focused and happy that I can create a diary and make it available for anyone that wants to read it. This should keep me in line, hopefully. I have fluctuated in the last 19 years and now I'm struggling to get it off. My weight today: 86.6 kgs My 1st goal: 72-75 kgs by July 2010 2nd goal: 65-68 kgs by October 2010 3rd goal: 60-63 kgs by January 2011 JCat on "Diary of JCat" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/diary-of-jcat#post-428 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 09:56:04 +0000 JCat 428@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ "The most terrufying thing is to accept oneself completely".....I have nothing to loose but heaps to gain....wellbeing, fitter smoking body, healthy mind, more balance in all areas of my life.

Day one - Thurs - 75 kg Day two - 74.5 kg Day three - 74 kg shellz on "Dairy of shell" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/dairy-of-shell#post-336 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:40:19 +0000 shellz 336@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ First week of counting calories has been going really well as I don't find it hard to stick to a smaller amount. Exams are on at the moment and I have been resisting high calorie drinks like redbull and V, but I did some research on the redbull concentrate shot and it only contains 27 calories! The hardest thing about trying to loose weight when your a student is my busy life style but with some planning the day before I will be able to ensure the food I eat the next day will be good for me instead of just reaching for the first thing I have time to eat. I have already lost 1kg <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> 97.1 kgs at the moment and today I bought a gym ball! fun. astral_monkey on "Diary of astral_monkey" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/diary-of-astral_monkey#post-151 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 15:31:52 +0000 astral_monkey 151@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ I was thinking the other day about what I would say if someone asked why I wanted to lose weight. I'd love to say 'for my health', and that obviously is a contributing factor, but sadly I have to admit the key motivator is aesthetics! I am unhappy with the way I look. I also want to be able to do things with my husband, like cycling or going for big long bush walks, without getting puffed and having him wait for me to catch up all the time. In order of priority: 1) Appearance 2) Fitness 3) Health The other item that I'm gonna chuck in the mix, and I'm not sure where it will fit in because I'm too scared to put it at number 1, but it's too important for me to leave off the list altogether - I want to start a family. Sooner rather than later. I have PCOS, so my weight is a contributing factor to infertility. Basically, if I am at a healthy weight I am more likely to conceive naturally and if I can't the fertility drugs they will put me on have a much better success rate. So here I am. My first official week of weight loss, with my first official weekly weigh-in tomorrow morning!

Went for a doubly big run. Ran most of my normal walking circuit. My eating was excellent. I had a couple of teaspoons of jam after dinner (homemade black dorris plum heaven). And did taste test as I was cooking which probably would've amounted to a small meal. But all in all a good day. I'm going to pump the exercise this week by walking around the block 3 times durring the day at work as well as exercise when I get home. Helps with the quitting smoking. Haven't quite managed to get up early & exercise. Better work on that. I really want to get down to the 80 something Kg club.

Found Liz's website after seeing her on Sunrise about 6 weeks ago. Then found her on Twitter and the tweets start flowing. Awesome website, so helpful and easy to understand. What I have eaten today (not even sure about the calories for some things): Missed breakfast (#breakfastfail) Coffee Homemade chicken burger and wedges Afghan Coffee Sugar-free gum Chicken Risotto Rainbow brownie and ice-cream....twice! No exercise.

About 6 months ago, I came across the youtube videos and this site. I am 6ft 2in and weighed around 104 kg. I followed a plan that involved egg on toast for breakfast, ONLY fruits for lunch and rotis for dinner on the weekdays and then binged on the weekends - and NO exercise. I lost about 11 kg in 4 months, but hit a plateau at 93 kg. After being stuck at that weight for a while, I lost focus and slipped to my older eating habits - I am now back at 104 kg. Well, now I am going to give this another shot! PS: The videos + concepts on this site are the best on the net - though I think they appeal more to the left-brained among us. I am 27 yrs old and from India - its amazing how someone a world away can inspire you - hurrah to the power of the internet!
