Week 6

Well, I lost 200g. Not much but I'm doing right and it's that time of the month so it'll come off later.
I've decided to run. I'll need some gear so I'm going shopping next week. Decided it will be cheaper to run with new shoes would be cheaper than a gym membership. I'm not up for the gym-scene anyway.
Thinking about doing a fun-run in September. Sounds like an low-pressure way to start.
Needing to eat more of a variety of vegetables. Stuck in a rut with soup, soup and more soup. Any ideas welcome.

Week 5

Well, I lost 1kg! Howzat?! Awesome huh. I worked myself quite hard exercise-wise so was glad with the result.
Now, if only I could give my the rest of my life the same dedication:) I guess I have to really want to huh.
Feeling this week won't be as good loss-wise as I have TOM coming up. Then again what goes up due to TOM must come down, right? Anyway any loss is a good loss. However, I really want to be at goal weight and maintaining by Spring. As I have 7kg to go it's not impossible but I think I'd have to go the extra mile:) Time to do some more cleaning?LOL.
I am thinking of no, make that I'm definitely getting some running shoes once I hit 70kg. I'll need a super sports bra too:) One of my dreams has been to enter a half-tri. I think the She Tri in 2007 would be perfect. Again I'll have to get off my butt for it but heh a dream come true is worth it.
Reading 'My Journey' (Blog) and can really see to get results you need to take action. Things don't come handed to you on a plate. The more you put yourself out there the easier it is. I certainly have been feeling much cheerier now that I've started the ball rolling. Amazing how depressing and anti-social being overweight can make you and in the same way how energising and outgoing being healthy makes you. I know which one I'd rather be.
Have a good week. I'm going to trash my negativity and get going:)

Week 4

Well I lost 600g for the week.
I was disappointed as I so wanted to be in the 60s right now but I realise I have a long way to go and every week I'm treating myself well in regards to food is a good thing and losing weight takes t-i-m-e.
So far I haven't really had any cravings but my emotions are on a roller-coaster ride and I feel tired a lot. I guess I'm bored hanging with the TV all the time and should get out more. But that's the big one for me. I freak out among a lot of people. Thank goodness weightloss it good for confidence:)

Week 3

2 kilos loss!! Wahoo!!
That gets me beyond where I started. It's begun.
This week I also started my sessions with a counsellor. It's time I got some work in on the issues that got me to this place:)
I'm feeling so good about this.
Tomorrow I'll get some scales so I can track properly. I have a walk lined up.
Bring it on!

Week 2

Well, you won't be suprised, fellow WWs, that I gained 1.6 kilos. I actually thought it would be more but it wasn't any relief to see those numbers.

The new meeting was really good as there were women there more in my age group-even though most would weigh and go. Everyone was much farther along than me in the weight stakes but their comments were helpful and attitude right up there. The leader challenged us to do something new and then said write it down and check in with your fellow WWs to show you'd done it. Very clever:) I put down I'd walk for 20 mins 3x.

Last Sunday was gorgeous and I thought 'Why not?' so put on my trainers and went for a 35 min walk. Yeh me! The 1st exercise for exercise sake that I'd done on my own since I don't know when. Today it was wet so I thought I'd give it a miss but then the sun came out and again I thought 'Why not?' and off I went for 45 mins!

I must say I did intend to track and while I've written down what I'm eating I haven't taken any measurements. So basically I'm doing guesstimates of how much I'm eating. I'll start on that next week.

I'll let you know how I go!

Nice to meet you:)

Hi, my name's Anita.
I am 34 and live in Auckland.
I started Weight Watchers last week with a weigh-in of 74.8 kg-a bit of a shock as my home scales said around 72.5 kg! (I am 168 cm tall). My goal weight is 67 kg.
After the meeting I went home and proceeded to have my worst week eating-wise for the year. I ate through all the cookies, chocolate and cake in the pantry and then went out and got ice-creams and more sweets. Disaster (and tears). What to do? Has anyone-else done this and got through it?
Luckily on Sunday I was able to sort myself out enough to go and get ingredients for recipes from the WW magazine and did a big cook-up of the classic vege soup, the basic mince sauce, and the lasagna-type cake-all really good:)
I named this HP 'slimberrie' because I was, AM committed to becoming slim and healthy in mind and spirit and I love eating berries:)
I am going to use this HP and your comments as a tool to help me get to my goals. So don't be shy with advice or whatever-I'd really appreciate it!
