A new outfit? I have a photo of the camera I want on the fridge, so everytime I open it I get to decide - food I dont really need or my camera. Maybe put an old photo of yourself on the fridge... Hang in there chick, once you get the ball rolling you will feel so much better about yourself and want to lose more.

I thought about doing that but i look so geeky with a horrible haircut and glasses lol. thanks for the support though I have to stay focused. A new outfit is a great idea, something i can wear to the bbq maybe. When i say work picnic Im talking about 200 people at least hence the reason i dont want to be looking like the house i do now.

I have kept in a savings account $10 for each kg I lose, so then when i'm at goal weight (after saying i don't care....well, now i do), i'll have money to spend on new stuff.

Robyn, how many weeks away is the work do? It is definitely possible to lose 5kg in 4-6 weeks, and 5kg is even to make a difference to how you feel and makes your clothes baggy.
I vaguely remembered you mentioning Xenical or something a while ago. One of my friends took one course of Reductil (for around a month I think) while she went to weight watchers as well and it just helped kickstart her weight loss, and she was able to continue successfully without it. Just a thought.
Thats a great idea Liz. And very cool to get your dress money to spend Jess

the bbq is the last sunday in november so i have just under 2 months. I have just had a ww meal for lunch, i know they are suppose to be a tea thing but i figured it still only 5 points so who cares when i eat it right. So far today ive had a low fat yoghurt, small bag of pretzels, a banana and my ww meal. feeling good and motivated, now i just have to figure out what to have for tea thats healthy.

I'm joining up too  tried some clothes on in the weekend and just realised I don't have a waist anymore! Sucky!!! Nothing fits, and nothing even looks remotely nice. I have my cousins wedding to go to on 23 October and I want something nice to wear to that so it starts today because I haven't got long!
I've got a gym membership but it's currently on hold as I'm not sure how I'll get the time to go.
I weighed in this morning at 87.2kg which absolutely sucks because I was not much heavier than that when I was pregnant! I'm putting it down to having extra time on my hands during the day and raiding the fridge/pantry when I get bored/when Ashlee's in bed. I've brought all my scrapbooking stuff out to the dining room table so that's enough to keep my hands busy and not think about food until I get bored of that too! And once this Wellington weather clears up good and proper, more walks will be on the cards. I just don't want to get bored with walking as well.

I am just so unmotivated at the momment. I've got a pedometer and was shocked to see I only do about half the recommended steps. after the day with a toddler and a crawling child - only 5000 steps. I was kinda shocked as I thought I did a lot of wakling. when we were in Plam,y I used to walk to the shops and walk around all the time, but we are so rural now, there aren't so many places to go, and rural roads can be dangersou to walk along. I joined that pushplay thing which has some great ideas. We've been spending time with Jake dancing to the wiggles and playing balloon volleyball. We played hide and seek a while ago, but Jake won't hide. Today i plan to take the kids to see the deer down the road - about a 20 min walk each way.
i have been doing lots of house work, includsing mowing the lawns and that counts I hope! But I've also been naughty and haven't eaten breakfast!

jbunny - thigh and butt exercises: step ups, squats, lunges are all good.

aaargh - I have been terrible this weekend - had people for dinner on Saturday and I made yummy (fattening) food - I stayed away from desert but had to eat the leftovers from dinner yesterday... plus haven't been drinking water either...
I am sooooo slack, grrrr, now I am finding it hard to get "back" on the bandwagon...

I too had a bad weekend but i did let meself indulge as I started my WW diet today!! ive so far had 61/2 points and not feeling too bad. Just a question your only allowed 16/day arent you? I cant remember its soooo long ago lol.
I have a gym assessment at 3pm today so will be interesting to see how i go & what the results are (ive been going for 3 months)
My incentive was a bikini I bought at the weekend (and it was only $20 from beach hut!! what a score) its realistically sized (16) and i want to look good wearing it this summer (with the boardies of course LOL) also i want to go shopping for a new wardrobe (hmm maybe we should all meet up & go together LOL) and i have my friends wedding in feb that im MOH in & if im not pregnant by then then I at least wanna look good

I think its more like 20 points a day depending on how much you weigh and also exercise gives you more points.
I had a bad weekend but managed to stay away from takeaways. It was hubbys birthday yesterday and cos of bathurst we had a bathurst birthday day and had people coming over all throughout the day to watch it (we have a huge tv) so i was doing party food all day and picking constantly but only had one creamed lamington and one savoury, the rest was crackers and cheese mainly. IM too scared to jump on the scales though.
Ladies if you wnat to join I can add you onto the weigh in chart, just let me know your details.

Sylvo, for me, based on my weight (under 70kg) and a moderate activity level I am allowed 19 points a day. It was 20 until I went under the 70kg mark!
