- 1 whole kilo - 17.2.7

wahoo! how cool is that. I tracked 95% and drank water until I was litterally running to the toilet. the gym routine has yet to fall back into place - but this week it will.
have sorted out my outfit for my step daughters wedding and i think i will feel presentable in it - i just need to lose a few kilos, as it is a little tight. will post a photo when it comes off of layby.
need to lose 4.5 kilo to get back to my lightest.

+ 1.5 - 10.2.7

Oh dear how easy it is to fall off the wagon.
No gym.
No water.
No tracking.
Lotsa wine.
Tried on my pants that i have on layby for my stepdaughters wedding - not good. i can see the whole 1.5 kgs on my thighs : that wont look good in the photos.
Well this week :
Back to the gym.
Back to the water.
and Back to tracking.
:-)

-.3 - 5.2.7

A minus two weeks in a row - might be on to something here.
I probably could have done better - I slackened off with the gym last week. But this is a new week : lets see what happens.

These photos were taken at Engleberg in Switzerland : a truly beautiful place if you ever get the chance to go to Switzerland : go to Engleberg and Interlarken :-)

-.4 - 27.1.07

.4 loss - it's a start and I'm pretty happy with that. I know where I've let myself down this week (as always) but that's a choice that I make. I have a night out with my girls tonight, and yes will have three or four or more drinks - but will endeavour not to drink for the rest of the week.

24.1.7 - A New Year - A Fresh Start

Christmas/New Year has come and gone once again. We had our big overseas holiday staying in Switzerland for three days and the UK for three weeks. The holiday was fantastic although we got fogged in down south and had to cancell our trip up to Edinburgh (sorry Des). In all I only gained 1 kg - which I was pretty happy with.

So now 2007 begins with a fresh start - I've got all the tools for weight loss. Gym membership; ww scales (bathroom and kitchen), all the books, a points calculator : all I need to do now IS STOP DRINKING WINE!!!!!!!

Six weeks till my big 70/80's party for my 40th.

Three months until my step daughters wedding.

Time to focus.

Weekend in Sydney with my gurly gurlz

What a blast - just got back from Sydney with five other wonderful women. We had such a great time - we can't wait to go back.
Lots of dancing, lots of wine, lots of walking : thank goodness : I came home weighing lighter than before I went.
Now I have to drop a few kilos before we go to the UK for Xmas.

-.6 26.10.6

On a roller coaster ride wooohoooooooooo!!!!!!!! At least this week was a step in the right direction.

+.3 - 19.10.6

Well after the week I've had - I'm surprised that it was only .3. So good on me for not gaining too much in a crisis. Although it has prompted me to go back to the points plan. Three weeks before I go to Sydney with my gurly gurlz and I want to get back to 13.2 lost instead of this rubbish 10 kg lost. Agghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-.3 12.10.6

OMG! My computer got a virus and all my settings have been lost. How hard is it when you forget your user names and passwords.
One week of no alcohol and all I lost was .3 - bah hum bug!!!!
I relented last night and had 3 glasses out of pure personal frustration, but am back track again today.

5.10.6 - 1.2 gain

TTOM too much wine take your pick - but the diagnosis is a 1.2 gain.
Am starting a 5 week alcohol sabatical today with Des. woohoo.

Catch up

It's been some time since I've posted my results - there are no great losses in there, but I'm still plodding along.

17.8.6 +.3 total loss 10.9
24.8.6 -.2 total loss 11.1
31.8.6 -.9 total loss 12.0
7.9.6 +1.7 total loss 10.3
14.9 -1.3 total loss 11.6
21.9 -/+ nil total loss 11.6
28.9 +.4 total loss 11.2

Thanks to Berry and Jen for staying in touch and having faith in me. I will do this its just going to take some time and effort on my part.
From tomorrow - I am not going to drink alcohol for five weeks.
I'm going to the gym three to four times a week and following the no count plan. I can't do much more than that - but be patient.
It won't happen over night - but it will happen.

*** New goal for 7.12.6 92.2 kilos ***

Trish.

+.1 - 10.8.6 the yoyo continues

I'm not too phased about a 100 gram gain as it is TTOM. I know I didn't do too badly, so hopely it will show up next week. :-)

.7 loss - woo hoooo!

I increased my resistance at the gym this week and have been concentrating on what I've been eating on no count - I did still however drink a little over my alcohol limit for the weekend - will try better this weekend. Also will try to get to the gym more often.
Soup veges and red meat will get me there!!!

.4 gain - 27.7.6

I REALLY thought that I was going to loose today - but no00000!!!!
.4 gain. Something is not working here.
Overall for July I gained .2 :-((((((((((((((((((((((

1 kg gain - 20.7.6

Wow TTOM comes around real fast - it's a real bummer when it impacts on your weight loss. Better things to come next week.

-.7 - but I don't know how

I went to the gym once (the day before weigh in), and I was on no count for week 2, and I forgot a little to count my wine (again). But I lost .7 - only .8 to get back to where I was - hopefully this week, and then I can move forward again. 10 kilos by Christmas - here I come!!!!!!!!!!!

.5 loss - yeh

Went back to the gym and switched to no count this week - and lost .5 kg - the roller coaster ride continues.

Darn!!!

TTOM, no gym, no water, no tracking - lots of wine.
2 kg gain - that's all I'm going to say.
