The magic number

3 is the magic number!

Of pounds that I have lost this week, that is :)

Happy Dance, Happy Dance :) :) :)

Kinda freaky

My pants feel slightly loser today. I think its my imagination though.

My checkin is in the morning-so that I can report my progress tomorrow at lunch :)

Back Again

Well i had a bit of a freak out last night well not freak out but i realised i have to do something about my weight instead of ignoring it so i weighed myself, went through my cupboards and took out all the clothes i have that don't fit me (2 garbage bags full) at 11pm at night this is *G* i made signs and put them around the house and had a cry :)
This morning we got up at 6am and went for a walk which i'm going to start doing everyday, took us about 30-40mins, i'm really cutting back on the food and i'm going to eat some of those pre packaged dinners for a month or so. I do feel loads better having exercised and am really going to stick to this seeing all my nice clothes in the garbage bag that don't fit me was so sad...i'm going to make them fit me again!!!
I have some extra motivation at the moment as i have found a wedding dress i want and its cheaper if you can fit into a certain size or $60 something more if you can't i want to save money so i have to fit into the smaller one :)
This may sound weird but i'm getting Andrew and my dad to sponsor me *G* Andrew will put $20 in a bank for every kilo i loose and when i reach my first goal (which is a little ways off) i get the money to go and buy some clothes or something, if i put on a kilo he takes 20 out, Dad i'm just going to get him to give $10 per kilo and when i reach the goal weight he will give me the total...i really needed to do something because if i keep telling myself its ok for me to be larger i will never lose any!!!

Update on my checkin

Well I didn't lose anything, but that was to be expected since I didn't exercise at all last week...just ate healthier....I have decreased my caloric intake a bit since what I was on was just _too_ much food. But I did start excersicing on Saturday..... so very happy right now :)

My First Week

I've had a good week. I've lost weight, and I do feel better. Does anyone find that as soon as you start dieting (hate that word but it describes things better)and exercising you already feel slimmer? I do, even on day 1 :) I'm happy with my first week, but it's always the first couple of weeks I find the easiest. I do have a short term goal to lose 10kg by the middle of August as I want to fit into a particular outfit. I have over 30kgs to lose in total but I'm looking at smaller chunks at the moment. I have to try and keep myself from standing on the scales every day because I know that weight fluctuates, but I can't help peeking! *g*

Goals for this week:

1) Stick to points
2) Go for at least one 20min walk
