Losing weight and feeling great...thread revived

Hi ladies day going good so far. Muesli with plain yoghurt and an apple for breakfast with black roobos and honey. Water in between and an orange for snack. Lunch sandwich low gi seed loaf 2slices and reduced fat cheese and tomato. Did have a bit of my sons veg he sickies so not eating well and a little of daughters parsely rice. Hate throwing food away so end up having kids leftovers. Supposed to go to mma class today will see how it goes. Planning to have fish(grilled hake) with parsely rice, few prawns and maybe calamari with veg for supper. Must resist unhealthy snacks in cupboard!

morning guys... I had an ok weekend i guess, except for the glass of coke I had around 3 am this morning I tried sooo hard to resist, but at least it was just one glass. I'don't want to weigh this week, I'll weigh this Friday.

Ok ladies(and francois)... Have to get back on track this week. Had a huge braai yesterday so had way too much meat and other luxuries! Luckily resisted choc cake today but still wasnt great. All the best for you guys!

thanks for that francois:)))

slow and steady ladies

Fly well done on losing so much...hope plateau over now

Hi Ladies,

Thanks for the congrats. Let me tell you, I'm very proud of what Rosemarie achieved.

One of the things we found with Rosemarie, is that mindset plays an equally important role than being healthy.

When I met her, she was overweight. In fact, she was overweight since she was 16. So she struggled with her weight for half her entire life. To be thin was most of the time an unhealthy obsession, and guess what, she lost no weight.

One thing that chanced her mindset was the pregnancy. As long as she can remember, she decided not to beat herself up about pregnancy weight gain. She accepted it as normal. Part of this mindset, was to just lose what she gained.

It is almost as if she told herself the opposite what people normally complains about: "I easily lose my pregnancy weight."

To her, this was such a firm believe, that she found it much easier to get back in shape after Mary-Ann's birth than ever before. In fact, she's now in the best shape since she was 16.

I hope she can inspire you guys. She is definitely an inspiration to a couple of our friends.

Another thing that she realized is summed up in a Chinese (I think) saying - "You eat an elephant one bite at a time." We celebrated each and every kg she lost. She lost her weight not 25kg at once, but 1kg at a time.

Congrats on all the improvement all of you made so far.

Regards,
Francois

welcome flyangel... congrats on the weightloss!I also am a big fan of WH magazine, I only have 2 of the work dvd's so far, they are so nice for those days when I don't feel like going to gym... then I can just have a nice workout at home.

with the plateau, these thing happen, try to change the way you do things from now on, maybe try working out in the mornings instead of evenings and vice versa, or up the amount of time you spend working out... and try harder with the chocolates! I know it's difficult but just till you get over this and get your body to start losing again, it could be that your body is used to your routine now and it's not enough to lose more weight
