I made it up a huge hill on my bike without stopping for the first time, ate healthy and didn't stop and by crap on the way home from work, I was feeling soooo great. BUT this week, I don't know whats happened, It's like my subconsciously I'm trying to get fatter. I don't understand it. Normally I'm an emotional eater, but this week I have been fine, work has been fantastic, home is great, everything's fine, but I still find that every day this week I have stopped on the way home and brought crap food, and I haven't exercised once this week. WHAT'S GOING ON!!!!

At 16 I weighed in at 120kgs and stayed there even through 4 kids. Now I'm 42 and at 145kgs (just weighed today at the docs. My BP was 191/110, the poor nurse looked as though she was going to have a heart attack at seeing that number. I have a long journey ahead of me but its one that I need to take if I plan to stick it out and see my granddaughter grow up and be happy. I haven't succeeded yet.. I say 'yet' with some hope and well just a tiny bit of belief that I will succeed. I've tried a few times before and slacked off, and here I am giving it another go. My only plan is to eat less than I exert, loose a bit of weight through food/diet management, include more exercise the better I feel and keep going from there. The only point of difference I have now is that I've given myself a year to do it in. Not even thought about a weight goal. Just a year to make changes in my lifestyle that will reflect in my body changes/health and well being. I can only try and try again.. and one day I hope to succeed. I'm kinda scared but kinda excited as well. Cheers.

Would love to be 50 kg lighter, I know it is a big ask but I reckon if I can motivate myself I should be fine. Im 39, 115.3 kgs..long way to go. Im a chef as well which doesnt help.. love my food.. hate exercise..lol, well thats not true, I l;ove exercise and the buzz it gives you but my body hates it, i am sore for days and sometimes cant walk afterwards, have buggered ankles and legs.. Tried swimming, not the best but might be all i can do for awhile. Any other ideas out there. I have a loving hubby to be, who supports me in all this.. its just motivation, believe me I can get motivated, it is staying up there that i have probs with. Ive done all the diets, Jenny Craig, weight watchers, citrus diet, Aitkins etc etc.. even sure slim which was great but I did it at the wrong time of my life.. starting a business at the same time. Anyway... time for a new me. Today.. weigth myself at 115.3kg, I yo yo anything from1 - 3 kg in a week, must really start just weighing in once a week.. Saturday mornings I think is best, then I can come down here and fill this in. I always eat breakfast at work.. trying to have an egg adn toast each day. Lunch.. this can be anything, but as it is in a kitchen soemtimes easiest and lowest calories is soup.. Dinner is at home and we eat alot of thai foods... dont think food is my main prob, its the amount of food and the lack of exercise. Might go for a swim tomorrow morning.. See ya tomorrow. <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" /> ivycat on "Diary of Ivycat - target 60 kg" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/diary-of-ivycat-target-60-kg#post-288 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 10:02:33 +0000 ivycat 288@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ Well doing the soup diet this week to kick-start - and it is going well!

I am a breastfeeding mum of four and have lost a lot of weight in the past but after my last baby I see it starting to creep back on. At my heaviest I was a size 22 and 120kgs, currently I am close to 80kgs and my goal is 70kgs. So 10kgs to go. My hubby and I have decided to do it together, and its going to be a bit of a competition to see who can lose the weight first, nothing like a bit of competition. Its also nice to have the support and encouragment and knowing that we both feed each others problem I am hoping by working together we will also be more affective. Today I went to the local markets and got our fruit and vege fresh, I also went and got some chicken breasts and fish and shrimp. Yesterday I went for a long run along the beach, today for a good walk along the river. So I am trying to stay active and eat less. I have a lot of extra baggy skin and finding this website was good for me because I almost used that as an excuse to not loose any more weight, like the more weight I lost the worse I would look with extra baggy skin, and I think in my head I had that the only way I would look any good was with surgery (which we cannot afford) and reading the stuff about being your ideal body weight/body fat composition made me feel much better, there is something I can do in all this! Anyways I need support and encouragement so thought I would join the online community <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> We have four kids ranging in age from almost 5 months to 13 years, so I am a very busy mum! Its a lot of fun though <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> Crystal on "New start" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/new-start#post-740 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 14:34:03 +0000 Crystal 740@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ I have always been a slim person. That is until I hit menopause. I am only 46 but already my body is shifting in unexpected ways. I am a bit distraught by this, even though I have a devoted husband. I don't want to grow old like this. I am a writer so I sit every day for half a day writing, on my butt. I am looking forward to loosing the 8 kilos that have changed my life. Looking forward to being part of a community of self helpers, rather than self harmers.

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.

I am Diane. I have a rare auto-immune disorder called Behcet's Syndrome. I posted a topic in the "Newcomers" forum about myself and my condition, if you want to know more about me and what my disorder does. In short, my illness has and still is making weight loss very hard because the physical activity of exercise puts stress on my immune system, which makes my disease flare up. So it's been a couple days since I started with this new route in achieving my ideal weight. I managed to work a small walk into two of the four days. I also have been working putting up Halloween decorations, which to most doesn't sound like a whole lot, but in my house Halloween is bigger than Christmas...we put up a whole cemetary with a fence and pillars, and a moseleum (sp?) and do up the porch in a nice scene of death. I have been eating small portions throughout the day. I try to eat a good breakfast and munch here and there when I am hungry. I have been eating a full dinner late. I dont like that, but there's not much I can do about it with work and school. If I want a sweet, I eat it in the morning. I really, really try to stop eating four hours, at least three, before bed. I have been gradually making my meal portions smaller for about two weeks now and I think I found my perfect portion sizes, where I am satisfied, but not stuffed. I eat a lil more if I am hungry later, but I haven't been. I stopped myself several times when I started to eat out of boredom. That is my bad habit. I have talked myself out of bad foods like cake, ice cream, choco pop tart and replaced them with apples, peaches...etc. I haven't weighed myself yet since I began. I am waiting for at least the two week mark. When I started I weighed roughly 134 pounds about 65-ish kg. I am very happy with self discipline <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> I'll see in a few weeks if the exercise I do harms me, if I start getting ulcers. hopefully this slow pace stuff will help prevent that nicole on "50 kgs to lose again yikes" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/50-kgs-to-lose-again-yikes#post-526 Thu, 27 May 2010 21:31:06 +0000 nicole 526@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ i spent about 8 months losing 37 kilos i went from 130 kilos to 93 and was aiming to be 80 kilos. i even got put into the newspaper for losing weight. i had been doing weight watchers and power plate vibration training. 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. donald on "fat, pissed off and detrmined" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/fat-pissed-off-and-detrmined#post-602 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 14:16:17 +0000 donald 602@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ Hi there Liz and everyone else, I like most of you have done the yo-yo thing, see some come off, then see it all come back WITH INTEREST. The last time was the worst because i did things properly, followed a good exercise routine, ate well and lost heaps,went from 135 kg down to 105ish and because i did a work out program with it i was starting to look pretty good. We then packed up everything and moved to NZ, had no gym stuff for 2 months, had x-mas and lots of farewells inbetween and lost motivation, well its not all loss, i did find something, all the bloody weight i lost and extra. Now, if i was 135 kg and got extra just how bad is it. Truth is, i don't know, Bathroom scale gives an error after 150 kg and it started to error me. I tell you what it is a real wake up moment when the scale gives you an error, almost like its saying only one at a time!!!! So i got really pissed off. With the scale, with food, with the clothes that dont fit anymore and with the choices i have made and you know what, the more angry i got the more i focused on the culprit, the one to blame, the baddy. ME!!!!! I'm the one shoving the crap in my mouth, I'm the one sitting with a home gym at home, with a layer of dust on it.I'm the one who knows they to fat (I hate being p.c. correct, at 150KG+ you not heavy, you FAT, you just cant be tall enough to be a little heavy at 150KG.)I'm the one who is FAT, I'm the one who packed it all on, and I am the one that is going to have to get it all off. I read the article on here about the biggest loser and accountability. SO>>> i am going to make myself accountable to all of you. Every Monday i will give you an update of how it's going. I have started the Sacred heart diet this week as a bit of a kick start, will keep you posted.

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 22:22:17 +0000 shadz35 419@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ I'M NEW AND READY TO DO...
