DON"T QUIT
When you've eaten too much and u cant write it down
And u feel like the biggest failure in town
When u want to give up because u gave in
and forget all about being healthy and thin
So What ! u went over your points a bit
Its your next move that counts
SO DONT U QUIT
Its a moment of truth an attitude change
Its learning the skills to get back in your range
It's telling yourself "you've done great up till now
You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow"
Its part of your journey toward reaching your goal
Your still going to make it just stay in control
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace
if you summon the will to get back in the race
But, often the struggler's when losing their grip
Just throw in the towel and continue to slip
And learn to late when the damage is done
that the race wasn't over..they still could have won
Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow
but facing each challenge will help you to grow
Success is failure turned in side out
the silver tint in a cloud of doubt
When u are pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit
IF U BITE IT U WRITE IT .. BUT DON'T U QUIT..author unknown
I got this from the WW community and think its great.......

Weigh in today
Hello everyone
Weighed today and this week I lost 900 grams.... am over the moon.
Everything is going pretty good, am really enjoying my exercises at the moment. I was given a Air swing at the weekend and included it into my exercise program but today it broke :-(. I was so lucky I didnt break my leg or much worse as I exercise in my garage and of course cement floor. Was excited about having another piece of equipment too... maybe it can be fixed hope sooo.
Ok well best go .. girls are waiting for me to help with their homework. Hope everyone is having a great week and take care

Cleansing of the mind
Hi everyone :-)
I have read some truly inspirational blogs this morning and have come to realise that this weight loss journey is also in a sense a cleansing of your mind. There are so many fears , insecurities still holding me back and I am sure I am not alone here in that. I read Karens blog and for some unknown reason I cant leave a comment.... but I just wanted to say that I have that quote as a fridge magnet just I ve never taken the time to try and live by it. I understand what you mean about the bike Karen as I have often thought about getting one myself and riding with my girls but have held back because I think to myself that ppl will say gees she needs to ride more often.You have certainly given me a lot to think about as well as Suzy, and Jak's posts always find them inspirational... as I do a lot more recently with Lee-annes posts as well. I dont read that many blogs...know I should as everyone is wonderful in their own way of dealing with this weight loss journey.
I have been back into the full swing of things with my exercise..... have done 2 1/2 hours everyday so am really happy with that. I have even managed to do those arm exercises everyday in the hope that my arms will tone up at least a little bit.
K well I hope everyone has a great weekend, good luck with your weighins Karen and Jak ( hope I can comment soon on blogs).
Take care

Weigh in day
Hi everyone
Weigh in day again today am very happy to report that I lost 1.5 kg this week.
Girls went back to school yesterday so I was up at 6 and into my exercises, felt really tired last night but fantastic as well. I missed that feeling the past 2 weeks. I have been doing my stepper everyday and I am also doing more with my total gym basically just concentrating on my top half though. I tried these arm exercises that were in a blog that I linked from Jak's blog and I did them this morning and omg did they kill. I could really feel the whole sensation of it all so I really think in time and if I manage to do these everyday as well as total gym every second day that there is hope for my arms ( alleluia).
I wanted to have a mushroom and chicken omelette for lunch today but silly me didnt refrigerate what was left over from Saturday and it went off. I am new to mushrooms and so wanted that gotta make up for 40 years of not eating them havent I lol. Oh well I had a toasted chicken, cheese and pineapple sandwich instead was yummmy too.
I got my mammogram results back yesterday all clear so that is a bigggg relief.
Ok well that all from me today... hope everyone is well.

RE: Negative list
Hi Back again
I have been in a thoughtful mood the past week and have been thinking about my negative list from a couple of weeks ago. I sometimes look in the mirror and see a difference and then the next day I cant see it or I feel fat and frumpy. In the past I hated having my photo taken and while on this image part I used to hate looking at myself in the mirror as well. I can remember times where I have been shopping and have actually hated my reflection on the freezer doors, Ive never had full length mirrors in my house and sometimes I have even been known to not get my hair cut when its been needed as I have not liked what I have seen looking back at me. Wow I really had low self esteem, poor self image and a huge dose of self denial.
Now ok that is the past and the day I decided to change my lifestyle was the biggest positive step.Anyway my point being that I have come to realise that why I cant see the 28 kg loss( nearly there) when I look in the mirror is because I never actually had a good look at the old me. I never accepted just how big I was, what I really looked like before so now when I look my mind thinks I should look smaller and therefore I cant see it. I know I have lost heaps just by the size I now take and my old clothes falling off me but to mentally see it in the mirror has been such a struggle for me.Does this make sense or is it just me? Ok so to turn this negative into a positive I tracked down a couple of old pics of me and made myself have a good look at them, I then got my daughter to take a photo of me and I compared the two. I went shopping and made myself look at me in the doors of the freezers and I liked what I saw, I really liked my reflection and then I stood on my bed and looked at myself in the bathroom mirror and it finally sunk in just how much I have lost and just how my body has and still is changing shape.
Anyway just thought I would share this.... hope everyone is doing well and had a great weekend.

goodbye chips
Hello
Well I think I have had a major breakthrough.... I think I am over my craving for potato chips once and for all. I had a 50 gram pkt of deli style chips on Friday night and today I went to have another packet( I know norty me) but I felt quite ill after eating a few and I really believe that they no longer will be a weakness for me.
I was talking to my g/f last week and she said to me do you think you will gain weight once you reach your goal, like hello let me get to goal first lol but seriously I answered NO as I really do not enjoy eating the fatty foods anymore. I know I ve still had the occasional pizza, kfc, hot chips over the past 6 mths but really after eating them Ive sat back and realised that I havent really enjoyed it to be honest. I do enjoy however all the "new" foods I eat and am trying new foods all the time only yesterday it was mushrooms and arent they yumm.
School goes back tomorrow and therefore its time to get back into my 2 21/2 hrs of exercise.I am kinda looking forward to that......omg I said that. I was reading Karens blog and at the things she has changed in her lifestyle so my imaginary leader said for me to write down my changes as I head to my 30 kg loss .Here goes
1 I now drink at least 3.5 litres of water everyday compared to never.
2 I now eat broc, cabbage, spinach, cauli,mushrooms,zuchini,asparagus .
3 I now exercise everyday and really enjoy it.
4 I now have a lot more energy, sleep better,no headaches and overall feel great.
5 I have cut my portion sizes, and eat more vegies and fruit.
Ok well there it is..... well it is Sunday so I think I will get away with the sermon lol.
Take care

Shocking my body
Hello everyone
I weighed in today at 92.8 kgs , this week I lost a massive 3 kgs. I guess because I worked my butt off on my treadmill , plus did some walking out in the fresh air that I shocked my body and therefore lost that much. I am over the moon.
I finished AJ'S book last night.. what a wonderful read.
I am still working on changing one negative from my list into a positive..... is not as easy as it looks and at the end of the day it is me who has to alter my way of thinking. I had a look at myself yesterday in a full length mirror and yes I can see a big difference, as for worrying welllll that is another story. I am still waiting on my mammogram results, talk about taking forever to come back ( nearly 3 weeks of waiting) so am still worrying about that. I have no idea why I cant be positive about this and why I am worrying about something that hasnt happened yet, no wonder my friends shake their head at me( oh dear).
What about my TIGERSSSSSSS wooooo hooooo we are in the Grand Final. I am sooooo happyyyyyy.
Ok well I hope everyone has a great week , take care

Smiles,tears,determination
Hello everyone
Just had to let everyone know that I have walked 17 ks on my treadmill since last Friday, am very happy with that. I set myself a goal to complete an hr everyday on it and yep I did it so smiles all round here. I feel really good about everything again and am happy with being back to doing 2 1/2 hrs of exercise everyday as it not only burns all my fat it makes me feel so happy and positive.
I am half way through AJ's book and wow what a great book it really is. For me it brought back a few memories so therefore a few tears but gees it so far has really made me sit up and take notice of a lot of things and see so many things more clearly.So I have decided to write down a few positives and negatives from the past few days on here to try and make it all sink in to my head and to be aware of the negatives but also to be aware that there are positives as well. I feel that all I do is say ok this was positive and get over it but the negatives stick around in my mind far too long.
POSITIVES
- I have walked 17 ks on my treadmill in a week
-I am back to doing my 2 1/2 hrs of exercise everyday
-I am tracking and eating really well
-I am averaging 18000 steps on my pedometer everyday
-I am trying new foods instead of saying yuk I dont like that.
- I am drinking 3 litres of water everyday
NEGATIVES
- I am still worrying far too much
-I still have trouble seeing my weight loss( one day I do next I dont)
-I am my own worst enemy at times
Ok so now my goal for this week is to try and turn at least one of those negatives into a positive.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.... and GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

still a loss
Ahhh well weighed myself this morning and lost .2, still a loss hey. I feel ok about it although I dont think I will ever truly understand how it all works as last week I was so shocked at my loss and this week where I thought I should have lost more I didnt lol.
I was upset last night as I received an email and virtually it read that I have lost my weight far too quickly,am heart attack material and basically sensibility and honesty were 2 important factors with weight loss, WOW gees am so glad this person isnt a friend as who needs friends like that. I dont even know this person so how can she say stuff like that to me. I guess I wont be posting my measurements or weight loss anymore in that site. I feel at times I am surrounded by so many negative ppl, everytime my mum rings me or I ring her its "Are you still on your diet?" just feels like at times she is waiting for me to fail. Funny thing is when I sit back and have my few minutes of getting it all off my chest( anger, upset, disbelief etc) I find that these negative comments only drive me more, make me even more determined, still no need for it hey.
Well I hope everyone is having a good week and take care all

Awsome is the word for the days just gone
What a awsome last few days I have had, firstly I am back on track 100% as far as my exercising goes. I am changing my program again lol, going to do 60 mins everyday on the treadmill, 45 mins on my bike, 30 mins on chuck/weights and instead of doing my floor exercises I am going to do"8 minutes in the morning"program. I got the book today and have had a quick look am going to read it thoroughly tonight but it appears to be really good and incorporates a few of the exercises I am already doing plus heaps more. I also got the book"Confessions of a Reformed Dieter" as I have heard so much about this book so am going to become a bookworm lol.
Miss 11 was in her school musical last Thursday and it was awsome, gees its so wonderful to see so many talented kids give such a great performance, was a wonderful night.
Ok last but not least what a AWSOME, AWSOME win for my tigers !!!!! We are into the final now wooooooo hooooooo so watch out Dragons here come the tigersssssssssss. I had a fabulous time watching the game, the atmosphere was awsome one couldnt help but get caught up in the emotion of it all, was totally awsome. Sorry sly lol.

Time for a change
Hi everyone
Well I have had a very different day today. I decided I wanted a change of hairstyle and some diff colours. I made the appt yesterday and off I went today. I sat down and Sally says to me How much do you want off today? I replied I want something different but just not sure what different is....welll guess what I do now. It looks good, just still coming to terms with its me underneath this new hairstyle and colours, and I do mean colours lol. I really really love the new style and I guess the copper foils are going to grow on me probably when they have grown out lol no seriously its really nice just so different. I kept the blonde on the top and had a brown put on the bottom, now you are confused arent you ? lol.So I guess im somewhere in between a licorice allsort perhaps ( oh dear).
I got some good news yesterday as well two tests have come back with the all clear so just one more to go now which is such a relief.
Miss 11 is performing at the Town Hall tonight, her school is putting on a production called" 100 year rock" so am really looking forward to seeing this and especially seeing my daughter up on stage, I will be soo proud as we all are of our kids (well those who have kids are).
I am really enjoying reading all the different blogs and I want to thank everyone who reads and comments on mine is much appreciated :-)
Hope everyone is doing well

Absolutely Amazed
hi everyone
Just a quick one today as I am off to see my g/f.
Weighed in this morning and lost 1.7 kg, how the hell did I loose that much this past week? Was an awful week, only managed 30 mins of exercise everyday and the weekend was major blowout material. My head is still shaking in disbelief here.
It was so nice to see such warm beautiful weather towards the end of last week but was too good to last for the time being here as yesterday here was so bitterly cold, today is sunny and not as cold. I guess the weather is hard to predict just like what you will weigh in at is hey lol.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying focussed.

trying hard
Hi everyone
Back on track today, really got stuck into the exercising, did 60 mins on my bike, 30 mins on the treadmill, went for a wee walk and did 15 mins of floor exercises so I am feeling pretty good. I should get some results back tomorrow , then more early next week and about 2 /3 weeks for the mammogram one, just hate the waiting but I am trying really hard to stay positive.
I bought a pedometer on Sat , have been really curious about them since hearing about Lynne's and today was day 1 of using it, so far I have done 21049 so amazing.
What about my tigers woooo hoo we flogged the cowboys and are up against the broncos this Sunday, sorry sly but we are going to kick butt again lol. Well I sincerely hope so anyway haha. Exciting news is I am off to Sydney to see them play, cant wait am so excited about that. Hurry up and come weekend lol.

Back on track today, really got stuck into the exercising, did 60 mins on my bike, 30 mins on the treadmill, went for a wee walk and did 15 mins of floor exercises so I am feeling pretty good. I should get some results back tomorrow , then more early next week and about 2 /3 weeks for the mammogram one, just hate the waiting but I am trying really hard to stay positive.

wanting my life back
Hello everyone
Firstly I want to thank everyone who has been worried about me and thanks for caring.
This past week has been awful, sitting back and watching a close friend loose her breast to breast cancer is an awful thing. It just happened so damn quickly , but she is very strong and quite positive which is good. I went and had my mammogram done today and they are no where near as bad as I have heard so go have one done if you havent already is my advice.
Ok now I caught up with slys' blog especially and the way in which she was so positive and I thought hey I want my life back. I want to be that girl again that exercises for 2 hrs min everyday, who is tired but ever so happy by night time. I want to be the girl who is so positive and determined to shed this weight once and for all. I am the only one who can get my life back and stop worrying so much and I am determined to do this as of today. So I guess Emi is back again lol. I havent gone off the rails eating wise this past week , just havent been motivated to get in and exercise, just been so down in the dumps which isnt good.
I hope my tigers can win tonight, I so much wanted to go see them play but just ran out of time so hopefully they will make it to the next round so I can be there with bells on hey lol.
Hope everyone is doing well, staying positive
Have a great weekend

.8 loss
Hi everyone
Weighed in today and had a loss of.8 so am a double digit 99 .4.
I am surprised I even had a loss this week as these past few days have been awful, found it really hard to stay focussed . I have been thinking and isnt it amazing at just how powerful the mind can be so great when you are positive and your worst enemy when your down.
Anyway hope everyone has had a good week.
Take care

Scared and borderline
What a day today has been.......... my g/f was diagnosed with breast cancer and I spent the morning today with her to try and cheer her up and I guess take her mind off things for a bit before she goes into hospital tomorrow. She did thank me before I left for being there and cheering her up as best as one can do which was good as she did laugh and I so admire her strength and courage.
So anyway I got home and just fell apart, I have cried and cried virtually for the past 2 hours, scared for her and scared for me too. Instead of exercising like I normally would I just seem to want to sit and cry. I feel a tad selfish as this isnt about me its about my g/f but its just when someone close to you is diagnosed with that dreaded C word , you begin to think what if I have it as well, well I think it and im sure others do too. I have even gone and made an appointment for me to have a mammogram as I am so scared. I am thinking the worst before I even know anything and its eating me, tearing me up inside and all I can think of is what if I am loosing all this weight for nothing, what if I have C too , then it wont matter about loosing weight will it? . I just wish I could switch my mind off, I know I am being silly but am really really scared.
Why am I writing this in here anyway........ gees I guess this is my diary where I air my feelings well I have done before with other stuff so guess wont matter.

my hips are going
Hello
Hope everyone had a great weekend:-)
I had a good one even though my tigers lost but oh well we will be back on track this weekend I am sure .
I had my measurements taken on Saturday and was very pleased with the results here. I lost 27.5 cms this month taking my total now in 15 weeks of measuring myself(didnt do it for the first 3 weeks)to a total loss of 91 cms . I also lost this month 7 cms off my hips , I am absolutely over the moon with that loss as they seemed to be so slow compared to the rest of me.
I am also happy to say that I am up to 45 mins on my treadmill now and in a week of doing it I have walked 11 ks so not too bad . I am looking at trying to increase it every week atm and see how I go with that.
Well tomorrow is weigh in day for me so until then take care all
