still on track
Well, I must say breastfeeding really does help shed the pounds a lot quicker! LOL!!
I'm still here. Great news. Even better news is that my fantastic hubby has decided to join me and is consumed by WW points!! It is so cute!
I have been losing. I have my very first weigh in on Thursday. And then after WW meet I have my very first Zumba class. A lady at church runs it and told me I could try it out. SO exciting!
Thankful for my hubby. he is wonderfuL!

WW again
I'm so glad I went back to ww, even if just for the accountability and weigh-in. I was feeling completely unmotivated before. We had planned on our final junk food for dinner after the meeting but I left the meeting with a determination not to eat rubbish. So that was good. Ate well today.
Breakfast: Special K with Slim milk and an apple
Lunch: Ham sandwich with lettuce and mayo. Cuppa tea.
Dinner: Chicken stirfry with loads of veg and brown rice, salad.
Snacks: Piece of home baked brown bread with a little marg and some jam. Tea. WW almond tartlet.
This breastfeeding makes me hungry. Ugh.
I'm soaking chickpeas overnight so I can make some yummy hummus tomorrow. Might also make chickpea flour and try chickpea pancakes with veg.
Have a good evening!

I'm back
So, I've been away for over a year. I have a good reason though.....
She is now almost 3 months old.
I'm going back to WW today. I'm terrified. I'm scared of failing AGAIN. But we're moving back to our home country in 5 months and I don't want to (a) be seen like this, (b) get on an airplane like this and (c) leave all my pretty clothes behind because they don't fit me.
So, I'm starting again. Would appreciate your prayers and love and support.

news
Thought I should quickly share our news. For the past few weeks, I have had my head over the toilet. Yes, I am pregnant. Not feeling great, but very excited. I haven't picked up much weight. Only a kg or 2, but my stomach is already very swollen. Can't understand it. None of my pants fit me. I'm only 7.5 weeks.
So, that's why I've been so quiet. Will keep you updated!

been a rough few weeks
Sorry I have been quiet. I really am doing ok. Didn't stay on track perfectly last week. Well, didn't at all. But I haven't picked up anything and have gotten right back on the wagon.
We're moving this and next week. To a very isolated place. I'm excited. Also nervous. I'm getting a dog. I think it'll be good to get me walking more. And my little guy will enjoy having a puppy to push around.
Not much else to share. :) Have a great weekend.

forgot to mention
that I have been to the Doc, thanks for the care and love though! It's the antibiotics that are making me so nauseous. And the pain from the lump that has formed from the spider.
I have no appetite. Well, not much anyway.

food tracking
I don't know how long I will keep this up. I'm not great at tracking. I get bored with it and then don't make the effort. So for now, I'll just track what I ate yesterday.
Being the first day back into it, I felt the need for a lot of treats.... So I snacked a lot. But still stayed within my points.
BREAKFAST
WW muesli, trim milk, strawberries, tea
LUNCH
soup, bread, tea
DINNER
WW chicken pasta, salad, trim cappa
SNACKS
yoghurt, apple, WW crisps, popcorn, WW choc dessert
What did I tell you?! A LOT of snacking! But some of it was healthy! :)
And may I just say that EP is awesome. No, let me rephrase that, the PEOPLE on EP are fantastic.... :)

i'm sort of back
Hi everyone.
So, I disappeared off the radar and have been going downhill ever since. I started eating exactly what I wanted. I stopped stepping on the scale. And I stopped going to weight watchers.
But then this morning I jumped on the scale and I have probably gained around 3 or 4 kgs. And I dont' ever want to weigh 117 kgs ever again. I am terrified of it. Last time I lost weight, I got down to about 92. I have been trying to figure our ho I put back all the weight and more. And I did it by not monitoring. By ignoring a and forgetting and hoping no one would notice. I have also been struggling with depression. I'm n St Johns Wort now, so am feeling much better.
I cannot gain back all that weight again. Not going to happen this time. We're trying for a baby. So I know that my weight loss efforts will be put on hold when I fall pregnant. But I want to be "grown up" about my food choices. Whenever I eat badly I feel like a child that cannot control herself and needs an adult to set her straight. I have to do this for myself and for my family.
I have really been struggling lately. I just cannot figure out why I can't get my head back in the zone. I need to do this. I want this. I want to be thinner.
I think that, in a way, as soon as life got better, and I could shop in the normal clothing stores again and I could wear prettier clothes, I kinda stopped worrying because I had what I wanted. To a degree. But its not enough. So.... my goal is to just get to 95 (for now). And I will.
I'm not going to go to weight watchers. I know I can do it alone. I have done it before and will do it again.
I'll be using my home scale from now on. First thing every thursday morning.

which one?
So! I went to Jenny Craig this morning for my fortnightly weigh-in.... And according to my Jenny Craig records I have oficially lost 20 kg exactly (for everyone that thinks in pounds that's 44lbs). So, here's my dilemma. While I weigh 96.9 at Jenny, I weigh 97.6 at Weight Watchers. Technically I am going to both although following the WW points system. Should I take the Jenny weigh-ins as my weight or should I take the WW weigh-ins as my weight? There's about a 1kg difference between their scales (I think). My consultant at Jenny noticed a big difference in me too. She said my face looks a lot thinner....
And I just need to say that this is the best thing I have ever done for myself and my body. I am beaming. I haven't weighed this since 2005 (I think).
If you're trying to take the plunge and you're really struggling to.... Try it for a week. Commit for just one week, that's all you have to do.
I love feeling good. I love losing weight. Gosh, what will I do when I get to my goal? (^_^)
