Hello
Hope everyone is well...gees arent the weeks flying, nearly the weekend again:)
I want to thank everyone again for reading and commenting on here.... does mean so much to me, your support over the past 10 months has been awsome :).
Seeing as I am so close to my GOAL ....I have been reading back through the early days of my blog, reading back over my first book here at home which basically set out why I was beginning this weight loss journey and why I was determined that this time I was going to achieve. I had printed out all the replies that I had received from fellow WW on the old site when at times the road ahead just looked too far and daunting and I began to loose faith in myself and I pasted them into this book and have re read them so many times. Never in my wildest imagination would I have ever thought I could meet ( even though its the net)such wonderful, supportive ladies as yourselves, its truly amazing!!!!!!.
Anyway I will still be around long after I reach goal....... you arent getting rid of me that easy my friends lol.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend if I dont get back.. this one for us is a pretty big one, we are off to the local show and a birthday party.... no pluto pups for Emi at the show....:) mm no I will be a good girl:)
Take care all
Love Em xxxx
Back again .......GRRRRRRRRR it seems I cant leave any comments on your blogs at the moment :( but I have read them all.. hopefully will be able to try again later :) cya

Me again
Hi Everyone
Hope you are all well, its been a week since I posted..slack I know :( but all in all its been a good week for me. My tigers however didnt have a good week , they got beaten so badly and a few injuries so its not looking good for the next few weeks... my d/b is a Knights supporter so you can imagine how happy he is at the moment..... yeah yeah yeah lol.
We went on a picnic last Sunday to Hanging Rock, the weather was nice not too hot and it was so great to be able to do so much with the girls... its times like these that you also realise just how far you have come. I wouldnt have played footy in public 10 mths ago .. there is just NO WAY and the thought of bushwalking omg too hard or if I did I would be so puffed after the smallest way but I rather enjoy it now.
Anyway weigh in results for this week a loss of 900 grams so I am getting closer......:) It is such a great feeling........
Hope you are all doing really well
Take care
Love Em xxxxx

Weigh in
Hi Everyone
Well I survived the weekend pretty good....firstly the big game on Friday night, sitting here watching my tigers beat St George ( sorry Tina lol) didnt eat any potato chips now this is an achievement in itself let me tell you as there were a few multi pkts in the cupboard. Saturday we went out for dinner for Al's birthday and I had crumbed cutlets.. yes I know there was so many nice healthy choices I could have made but hey I love crumbed cutlets so I had them, with gravy and vegies.... and when we got home I had a small piece of chocolate mudcake and it was small and I have to agree here with Tina I would normally have had more then that easily but am happy with having a small piece as anymore would make me feel ill.
Sunday was my g/f's engagement dinner held at an Italian restaurant so I just had a small dish of tomato based pasta, wasnt feeling that crash hot on Sunday , my sinuses ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. So wasnt too bad and my exercise well that finished on Wednesday and didnt start up again until yesterday but that is ok too.
After all that my loss this week was 600 grams so am really happy with that.
Is anyone having mixed feelings about the BL ..... I really dont know what to make of it lately lol.
Anyway hope all is well
Take care and Smile :)
Love Emxxxxxxx

Recap
Hi All
Just a recap on this last week.... my eating was great, exercise really good managed to do my plan everyday except Wednesday and Saturday but still managed to get 90 mins in on those days so alls good .
Feeling a little off today , we all seem to have some sort of tummy bug, the girls are fine today but mine is lingering on...... is more like having butterflies.. you know that feeling ?.
Weigh in day tomorrow..will see what it brings but seriously I am thinking here I have 4 more kgs to go then I will call it Goal.. thats in between my scales and the drs so thats a good result I think.
Hope everyone is well... have popped in on a few blogs , some of my blog buddies seem to have gone missing so have been reading a few new ones....so many inspirational women out here in blog land..even managed to get a few new ideas for breakfast and dinner so am excited about that lol.
Ok until tomorrow ..take care

Great Weekend to top off a great week
Hi All
I am so happy to report that last week I managed to stick to my planned exercise every single day even Saturday so I am very proud of myself. I had a good week with my eating, which I must admit normally is really good during the week but does tend to go a bit off track of a weekend but hey I havent done too much damage with my little treats of potato chips in the past and I figure that I am well aware of what will happen if I go back to eating these all the time so I am AWARE which is one of the main things hey.
My wonderful guy surprised me with a visit on Friday...was so unexpected, no wonder I couldnt reach him on his land line early Friday morning lol. We took the girls on a picnic to Lake Keepit yesterday, was a fabulous day, the weather was just about perfect, the company more then perfect :):) all in all a absolutely wonderful day. Ahh though he had to go back last night for work today but it was just so great to see him, the girls adore him and he is so wonderful with them..anyway enough of that lol.
I am looking forward to the biggest looser tonight..wonder who they will vote off?.. I am going to go with Jo although part of me is saying Adro here..time will tell.
Hope everyone is having a great day.. until tomorrow's weigh in byeeeee

Confession
Hi All
I have a confession to make... I have eaten and eaten so much on Friday, Saturday and so far today...... there are no excuses for this. I have hardly been exercising these past two weeks and now that I have taken my eating to unbelivable heights it has come to the point where I am scared and have to sit back and take charge of my life again. Ask myself why the hell am I doing this when I am so close to my goal? I do know that I need to somehow ignore all the negativity that seems to be around me, apart from my girls, my d/b ( who is miles away ) my closest g/f who is in Sydney and my dear blog buddies (you guys) everyone else seems to be so against me... I am fed up with hearing you dont need to loose anymore weight, or you looked better bigger, or you have aged so much...... do you hear me I am sick of this and today I am taking a stand against this....the next person to say one negative thing is going to get a blast.......
The rest of today is going to be good as far as eating goes, tomorrow is going to be day 1 all over again as if it isnt the only person I will be hurting is ME!!! I have worked too hard to let it all come undone now, I need to go back and have a good long hard think about why I have been like this these past few weeks then accept it and move on. The only consolation if you can even call it that is I feel quite ill at present so my body is telling me, so I know there is no way I could go back to this way forever...... I guess I am just upset that I still havent learnt to not hurt myself when the going gets me down.
Thanx for listening

Thankyou
Hi All
Firstly a big thankyou to all my blog buddies, your support is absolutlely awsome and means a great deal to me, more then I can express on here :).
Ok well here is an update on my week gone......... went back to tafe on Wednesday and no it isnt for me , I spoke to the career person at TAFE and have decided to follow my dream next yr and go for what I really want to do and that is Welfare. This is where my passion lies, so no more excuses I am just going to go for it. I have lived my life far too long as the BIG girl , have made excuses far too long based on my weight but now I cant use those excuses well wont be able to soon and even though it is important to follow your dreams/goals, I have realsied that to get to my goal weight is by far the first goal for me, then I will tackle the rest of my life...hope this makes sense.
I have been really good as far as my eating goes this past week , exercise however hasnt been what it normally is for me, only managed to do 4 hrs this past week so am not too sure what the scales will reveal tomorrow, in having said that though I just read Tina's post about housework/yard work and yeah I am the same I never think about all that as being exercise ..so maybe the scales will be kind :).
I went and had my hair cut today, feels so much better and next Monday I am going to get a tint and some foils.... have no idea what colours as yet, will discuss that next week..... butI am feeling adventurous again lol so gosh knows what I will end up with .
Well im out of here until tomorrow... enjoy the rest of your day and take care
Love Emxxxxxx

hurtful words
Hi Everyone
Hope you are all doing well..finally caught up with all your blogs.
I am really at a loss at the moment..... did weigh myself this morning as usual and had a loss of 2.1 kgs so I should be over the moon..guess I am but arent either.
My mum said some hurtful things to me on the weekend and guess I am struggling big time to deal with it all...... stuff like you look so old now, so sunkin in the face, you looked so much better before you lost this weight and you dont need to loose anymore weight, she kept going on about how I look so old now:(... I know I am 41 yrs of age and I am well aware of how my mother is and really to be honest it shouldn't upset me like it has..... I just dont understand why , guess I never will. It would be so nice to have her support but I guess thats not going to happen either :(
I went to Tafe yesterday, was a long day and the weather is still so hot here, I came away with a feeling that this course isnt for me...... wondering here if its because of how upset and alone I feel at the moment is the reason for this or whether this isnt for me. I feel so lost, I am so close to my goal , yet I feel like a failure,I feel sluggish, have lost interest in exercising,am very teary, gosh what am I doing here...... probably need a good kick up the behind hey.
OK well sorry for raving on here.. just needed to let it all out
Take care all
Love Emxxx

Howdy
Boy is it hot here....we had 42 here yesterday and today doesnt feel any less....omg will Autumn please hurry up and come.
Al absolutely loves High School... she has made a few new friends which is great and Loz is such a big girl now she is in Primary School lol.
Kinda getting really nervous about Monday and Tafe....... I guess I will worry about it all weekend then come Monday everything will be fine, its usually how it all works out hey. Exercise will definately be taking a back seat from now on, but thats ok I will still manage to get a hour at least in each day, will still get up to exercise at 6 and do my hour and it will depend on how smooth things run here when I get home as to whether I do anymore before dinner.
K well hope everyone has a great weekend , catch you soon
Love Emxxxxx

Back to School
Hello
I know its been a week since I last posted.... times just flies and these past 4 days have been awfully busy but I will catch up with everyone today.
Ahhh my cherubs went back to school today, its so quiet here atm lol. Miss 11 went into yr 7 , cant believe she is in high school now , she looked so grown up in her uniform and we had a bit of a personal struggle as to whether she should get her hair cut or not, her hair is very long she can almost sit on it when out but at the end of the day she decided not to and just had a trim, funny I can remember when I decided to get my long hair cut back in yr 9 some 26 yrs ago lol.Anyway off she went a bit nervous, stood close to me for a little while; will be a new adventure for her as all her friends have gone to a different school so new friends will be made.Looking at her today, wow where has all the time gone, she is nearly as tall as me and lucky for her she is the normal weight and she eats so much lol.
Miss 8 and my baby girl went into Primary School she was happy to go back to school, the holidays are a bit long . She didnt want to get her hair cut as in her words" dont you know I am growing my hair mum " all was fine when I explained that all we were having done was a trim. She is also very tall for her age, head and shoulders above most in her class and is a solid girl but our healthy eating is also helping her which is great.
The tigers game was awsome, they won 64/4 which was expected but it still was so kewl to see them play, can never miss an opportunity like that, got to meet some of the players again lol. The festival is over which means things here are back to normal and no more waiting 15 mins to use the toilet when down town.It is good though and I took the girls to the cavalcade on Saturday morning, then we all went to the buskers concert in the park, which was good.
I have been pretty good this past week, made fresh chicken rolls for the footy and took plenty of water, had a hotdog dont know why I had a hotdog as I dont really like them,but apart from that and 1 pkt of potato chips( cant go without those for too long hey) my eating has been good, exercise is good started a new workout plan as of yesterday as I am going back to Tafe next Monday to do Cert 111 in aged care, which means that for 3 days exercise isnt going to be as much as it has been so have had to think about it all and came up with the new plan.Wont go into detail as I have a sermon already here(sorry)but basically it means that Sat/Sun are going to become major exercise days.... I can make this work , I ve got to think positive here, I can go to Tafe, exercise, be there for my girls, do things of a weekend with the girls, housework, its going to be strange at first but we can make this work, scary going back to study..... wish me luck girls plssssssssssssssssssss.
Ok finally..... this week a loss of 500 grams :)
Hope everyone is well and things are good in blog land, am off now to catch up with you all
Love Em xxxxxxxxx

I have been pretty good this past week, made fresh chicken rolls for the footy and took plenty of water, had a hotdog dont know why I had a hotdog as I dont really like them,but apart from that and 1 pkt of potato chips( cant go without those for too long hey) my eating has been good, exercise is good started a new workout plan as of yesterday as I am going back to Tafe next Monday to do Cert 111 in aged care, which means that for 3 days exercise isnt going to be as much as it has been so have had to think about it all and came up with the new plan.Wont go into detail as I have a sermon already here(sorry)but basically it means that Sat/Sun are going to become major exercise days.... I can make this work , I ve got to think positive here, I can go to Tafe, exercise, be there for my girls, do things of a weekend with the girls, housework, its going to be strange at first but we can make this work, scary going back to study..... wish me luck girls plssssssssssssssssssss.
Ok finally..... this week a loss of 500 grams :)
Hope everyone is well and things are good in blog land, am off now to catch up with you all

Off to see my tigersssss
Hello
Hope everyone is well........ thanx to everyone for your comments on my blog.... they make me smile .
Ok well firstly am happy to say that I had a loss of 500 grams,( a tub of margarine) so thats good ..... am really happy with that.
We all had a busy weekend, the festival is in full swing ....sooo many ppl,we went for a walk down Peel street on Saturday, sat and listened to some of the buskers , wow theres some talent there. Miss 8 wants to busk in Peel street, at the moment that apppears to be her dream , you gotta smile as she is so serious, who knows maybe one day soon she will, she certainly has the confidence to do it. We had a look at the stalls then had a nice lunch in the Park, followed by some shopping then home, settled back on Saturday night and watched The Dukes Of Hazzard. Did manage to get 90 mins of exercise in so that was ok.As long as I get my 2 1/2 hrs every day during the week I am happy.
I think we are movied out for the time being, went to see Narnia on Sunday morning, now I really enjoyed that, the girls loved it as did my D/B.
Now to my best news, well best news besides my loss today but it certainly is on par with that lol.. I am going to see my tigers on Friday night wooo hoooo am sooo excited as you all know well some of you know and some of you will soon enough.. I am a mad Wests Tigers fan. They are playing a match in Gunnedah against the N.S.W CRL Group 4 team so am really excited about going to see them. Gees we are the Premiers yaaa , that has a great ring about it :) :).
Ok well hope you all have a wonderful day.. will catch up with everyone during the day
Take care
Love Em xxxxxx

Feeling Flat
Hi All
Am feeling a tad flat today.. firsty my daughter went back to Newcastle this morning, we were all at the train station with tears in our eyes. The younger girls really get upset especially miss 8 she absolutely cries her heart out..... I decided to take them to see Chicken Little to cheer them up a bit, it worked and they liked that.
Only managed half hour on my bike this morning as I slept in....... mind you that isnt something that is the norm for me but when you have 2 dogs next door that continually bark all damn night cause their owners are away and your bedroom is at the back of the house,need I say that sleep is very much interupted. I havent done my normal 30 mins before lunch either as we were at the movies so its all up to me at least to do my hour this afternoon.......that way I will at least have 90 mins to show for Thursday.... I know I am a exercise nutter.
Hope all is well with you all....cya soon
Love Em

Tuesday.....out come the scales
Hi All
Weigh day today...result a loss of 2.2 kgs , am very pleased with that.
I have been back into exercising full on since I came back from Newcastle, I feel that I needed that week and a bit off from exercising as I was starting to feel like it was a chore which was kinda scary but now I am back to enjoying it, looking forward to it and wiser...
I had a nice weekend, went shopping with miss 11 and 8 on Saturday for their school stuff, saturday night was simple just watching dvds with the girls and a friend. Sunday I went to the new Wests Diggers club here for the first time, so nice and was so good to be able to sit back and relax with my D/B.
Miss 18 goes back to Newcastle on Thursday :(.... I am such a sook I know but I dont want her to go... have soooo much enjoyed having her home for the last month but I know she has to. I am not sure if miss 19 is coming back home next week for a few days or not... have to check in with her about that.......
Ok well best be off.....have a great day everyone..cya soon
Love Emxxxxxxxx

Hi Everyone
The heat has been awful these past few days..... we had a bit of rain again yesterday for an hr or so , then a bit last night but today is hot once again. There hasnt even been any relief of a night....even with the rain. Oh well no use complaining hey lol.
We all went to see Nanny McPhee yesterday, was enjoyable and I took my water and wasnt even tempted to buy a choc top.. now this is good I thought to myself so with a grin from ear to ear after not being tempted at the movies, we met up with a friend of mine for lunch. Lunch was good, had a prawn salad, resisted the garlic bread that was ordered by my friend, resisted the chips that miss 8 left on her plate gees thinking at this point in time how good am I lol but then came the cookies and cream cheesecake, Miss 11 and my friend sitting there eating this cheesecake, so I gave in and just had to try it, it looked so yummy even though I dont have a sweet tooth by any means as I am the potato chip queen remember lol anyway I had a small spoonful..... mmm niceeeeeee but was happy to just leave it at that......
The festival is about to begin here yet again, the campers are starting to roll in , the cowboys and cowgals are roaming around and no they dont tie their horses outside the pubs lol had to laugh when I was asked that by an american lady a few weeks back. This place comes alive at country music festival time, so busy, buskers everywhere, clubs open 24/7, I know I walked around with my mouth open the first yr we were here, was amazed. Anyway even if you dont like Country Music the festival is still definately an experience.
I am still doing my 2 1/2 hours of exercise , eating is going well, water is flowing lol so all is looking pretty rosey.Thanks to everyone who commented on my 40 kg loss.. is wonderful to have so much support and I have decided to keep drinking my water everyday but am going to make an appointment to see my dr , probably get one in 3 weeks time if I ring today, its hard to get a dr here let alone get an appointment in a hurry but theres no hurry with this just want to ask her.
Ok well hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.. take care
Love Emxxxx

Tuesday......Weigh in day
Hi All
Weighed in this morning and am over the moon :) I lost 1.3 kgs taking my total loss now to 40 .2 kgs woooohooooooooo and it is even TTOTM.
Sooooo I have 10 kgs to go before goal on my scales or 15 kgs to go if I use the weight I was when I went to the drs.... I guess the drs would be more accurate so I will see how I go.
Ok got a question for you all .. if you can help me ... I drink a minumum of 4 .5 litres of water everyday, some days like yesterday I drink 5/6 litres now my g/f tells me thats far too much water...sheesh I didnt know there was such a thing as too much water. Now also bear in mind that besides having a cup of green tea with every meal I do not drink anything else in the day... oh on the rare occasion I might have a pepsi max or diet solo but it is very rare. So am I drinking too much water.... I do retain fluid as a rule but its no worse from the water intake I have.
Ok much appreciated if anyone can help..... hope all is well
Love Em xxxx
