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. Liz, thanks for the website.

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).

Scientists at the University of Kentucky and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that the type of motivation for dieting and techniques to boost it when it dips could mean the difference between success and failure. "Motivation has an impact on weight loss but the impact is really mediated by adherence to self-monitoring," said Kelly H. Webber, an assistant professor at the University of Kentucky. "If you are going to self-monitor your diet and exercise every day you are going to lose more weight. Webber, who along with her colleagues reported the findings in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, said the best way to self-monitor is to keep a journal of everything you eat and how much you exercise. The researchers studied two types of motivation, autonomous and controlled, during a 16-week weight-loss program involving 66 overweight women. Autonomous motivation is driven by personal reasons, while controlled motivation is based more on pressure from others and feelings of guilt. They found that dieters who were self motivated and who kept a journal tended to be more successful. "People who actually write down everything they eat and drink during the weight loss program are going to do better. And that is probably why commercial programs like Weight Watchers are very successful," said Webber. All of the dieters were given questionnaires and asked to describe their motivation. Their weight loss and motivation were measured every four weeks during the program. They also measured their own progress with a online self-monitoring program. "The importance of motivation is that it gets you to self motivate, which is the behavior that matters in weight loss," Webber explained. Sustaining motivation was also essential because once it began to drop, usually between weeks four to eight, successful dieters who dropped 5 percent of their body weight were those who managed to keep the motivation going. Webber suggested that if motivation starts to fall after about four weeks it would be a good time to boost it with initiatives. "We think that contact with a counsellor is always helpful with motivation and contact with other people trying to lose weight," she said. "Seek support. I think we need support to keep continually motivated. Some people are successful on their own but most of us need support." </blockquote> Vanessa on "Diary of Vanessa - trying to catch up to Liz" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/diary-of-vanessa-trying-to-catch-up-to-liz#post-8 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 23:40:47 +0000 Vanessa 8@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ This will be fairly short and sweet!
