Last week - 69.7kgs
This week - 69.9kgs
GAIN - 200g
Totally not surprised, AT ALL. I'm not feeling very motivated at all at the moment. The spark has faded a bit. I think i've been working so hard at this for what feels like ages now, and it feels like it is never going to "end". I mean, I know it's not going to end as such, that it is something that I have to continue, but the counting calories gets very repetitive and kinda drives me nuts at the moment. I still keep a rough idea of how many calories I have eaten, but at this stage I NEED to keep it written down.
I got my heart rate monitor during the week. I guess there is good and bad things about it. The good thing is that it reckons i burn more calories than FS says I do with daily everyday activities, but it says that I burn less than what FS does when i exercise. This has kinda bummed me out big time. The whole time thinking I was smashing up the exercise, and well really i wasn't! Hasn't really helped the whole 'stuff this' attitude.
I know I need to keep plodding along. Exercise was non-existent last week really, due to sick kids and photoshoots. Darren and Whit have just started going to the gym every second night, so I'm going to attempt the bike at night time again, well every second night anyway. During the day I will try and do 15 on the treadmill and 15 on the x-trainer. Just wish i could get some of that commitment back that I had, and everything wasn't such a struggle.
I'm no where near finished my journey yet, so there isn't time to be slacking off. Maybe if i can get back into the exercise mode, everything will fall back into place. Fingers crossed.

Last fortnight - 71.5kgs
This week - 69.7
Loss for fortnight - 1.8kgs
Wow - Haven't I been quite the slack blogger!!! I've been feeling pretty "MEH" about things for the last couple of weeks/months, and it was really getting me down. I felt like I was focusing on what i was eating and how much i was exercising, and forgetting about the things that really matter, like family. It seems to have taken me forever to lose the last 3 kilo's and it was driving me batty. My motivation was slipping, i was beginning to think why bother putting all this work in if it's not getting me anywhere. No matter what I did, I just couldn't break past that 70kg mark.
WELL, on Saturday, I DID IT. 69.9 flashed up on the scales. Normally weekends are pretty much a write off for me weight wise. I generally go up, and retain lots. For the first time in forever, this week I didn't. My weight this morning was yet again down, at 69.7kgs. I'm pretty thrilled with that, and now i'm on to my next goal of reaching 25kgs lost. That means getting to a weight of 65.5.
If you had have said 7 months ago that I would EVER be in the 60's again, I would have laughed at you. I was sure that I could never be anything but fat, I'd been that way for so long. But, it CAN change, and it HAS changed. Do I still see myself as being fat, yes., but I am getting closer and closer to that happy place. My belly is still big, and i guess after 4 babies, it's bound to be flabby, but that is something i can work on. The tops of my arms and legs are still flabby, but I'm still considered to be overweight. I think due to how much they have been stretched they will still be somewhat flabby, but I can now see some muscle definition in my legs, and that's something i haven't seen in a long time.
I've gone from a size 22+ down to a 12 in most things. I should be very proud of what i have achieved, and not dwell on what i haven't yet. It will all come in time!

Last week - 71.6kgs
This week - 71.5kgs
Loss - 100 grams
I'm really glad that i took the pics of the scales when I did, cause I'd be really disappointed about my weigh in this week if i didn't. It also makes me very glad that I weigh in every day, cause I don't think I'd cope real well seeing only a 100 gram loss after all the effort that I put in during the week.
So it appears my body is holding on to everything that it possibly can at the moment. A 1.1kg weight increase in 3 days? I don't think so! I've been having toilet issues for the last week, and am really struggling going. TMI, I know, but i think it's playing a rather large part of it. I feel very bloated and quite gross. I've put off doing my measurements, because of this fact, and will do them when things settle down again.
I'm a little disappointed that my 6 month weight isn't under the 20kg mark like it should be, but I know that I reached it before the time frame, now the next step is to get under 70!
One of my big main goals since even before I started losing weight, was to get back into my wedding dress again. Last night I achieved that goal! Mum and dad were down for the night, so I got mum to help me get it on. I didn't think that I would be able to get it done all the way up still, but I DID! I do have a photo of it, well mum does, so when she gives it to me I'll post it. Sure it's certainly not as flattering as it was on my wedding day, but it's on, and i'm pretty happy with that!
