Tuesday 24th February
Another week down and hopefully some more weight with it. I feel good but not sure if I have lost anything. I think that you always feel like that though when you are trying to lose weight, as you convince yourself that you haven't so when you have you are really happy.
Goal weight =60kg/130lbs
Weight & Measurements - Week 7
Weight = 61.9kg/136lbs - lost 1.1kg/2lb :o)
Chest = 89cm/35" - Stayed the same
Waist = 82cm/32.2" - Stayed the same
Hips = 87cm/34.2" - Stayed the same
Thighs = 88cm/34.6" (legs together) - Stayed the same
I didn't lose any cm at all but managed to lose 1.1kg/2lb, I am really pleased with that. When I measured myself I thought that I wouldn't have lost any weight, but then when I weighed myself 1.1kg gone.
Only 1.9kg/4lb left to go to reach my goal. I really don't think that I will do that well next week, I will be honest up front. It is my birthday on Thursday and my husband is taking me out for dinner, then on Saturday night my sister and her husband are cooking me dinner, and then on Sunday my husbands parents are cooking lunch for me. So with all those dinners and lunches I think that I don't have a hope losing anything next week, but I will still do my best. I will have to try to do some extra exercise.
Well until the next post, hang in there all that are trying to lose that extra weight you can do it!
Week 6 - Weigh in
Tuesday 17th February
I was just saying to my husband that I think you get a bit slack when you only have a few kilos left to lose. You don't think that the little bit of something you are not suppose to have will hurt. We did however go out on the weekend to a friends 40th, I did eat more than I should have, I did only have two glasses of wine though as I was driving.
It has been raining all week so I have been a bit slack with the exercise, I have still been doing some lunges and squats, but not very much in the way of fat burning exercise, oops. So I don't think that I will do really well this week. I also think that you get to a stage where the last few kilos are always the hardest to lose.
This is what the weights and measurements have to say about it.
Goal weight =60kg/130lbs
Weight & Measurements - Week 6
Weight = 63kg/138lbs - lost 100g/lb :o)
Chest = 89cm/35" - Stayed the same
Waist = 82cm/32.2" - lost 4cm/1.5"
Hips = 87cm/34.2" - lost 4cm/1.5"
Thighs = 88cm/34.6" (legs together) - lost .5cm/"
As I said I think that you plateau and it is harder to lose the last few kilos. Looking at the weight and measurements this week though I actually didn't do too bad, I only lost 100grams/3.5oz but if you look at the measurements I lost 4cm/1.5" from both my waist and my hips, woo hoo way to go! You have to be happy with that. I have been wearing clothes that haven't seen the day light in years and I feel great.
I will have to post the before and after pictures soon.

Week 5 - Weigh in
Monday 9th February
I am a day early this week as I am going on a girls night out tomorrow night, so won't be home.
Well I feel really really good, I feel like a new person almost. I went through my wardrobe over the weekend and made a pile of all my pregnant/fat clothes, they are on the way to the clothing bin. Wooo hooo..
I tried on some of my smaller clothes and I am starting to fit into them, I was so proud of myself I was running around the house saying to my husband "Look I can fit into them again". He is also very proud of me. So here are the details of my weigh in this week.
Goal weight =60kg/130lbs
Weight & Measurements - Week 5
Weight = 63.1kg/139lbs - lost 1.6kg/3.5lb :o)
Chest = 89cm/35" - Stayed the same
Waist = 86cm/33.8" - Stayed the same
Hips = 91cm/35.8" - lost .5cm
Thighs = 88.5cm/34.8" (legs together) - lost 2.5cm/.98"
Well I think that I have done really well, I have lost a total of 4kg/8.8lbs in 5 weeks even with my bad week.
Strip That Fat is a really good program and it is really working for me, it has taught me a lot about the foods that I am eating, what to eat and what not to eat. It has been really helpful. I still have the occasional day where you just want to eat something really bad, I just had to eat one of the childrens biscuits this week it was too much for me. You can't be good ALL the time.

Week 4 - Weigh in
Tuesday 3rd February
I feel really good about this week, I have done all that I should and I can feel it in my body.
Goal weight =60kg/130lbs
Weight & Measurements - Week 4
Weight = 64.7kg/142.6lbs - lost 1.2kg/2.6lb :o)
Chest = 89cm/35" - lost 3cm/1"
Waist = 86cm/33.8" - lost 1cm/.39"
Hips = 92.5cm/36.4" - lost 2cm/.78"
Thighs = 91cm/35.8" (legs together) - lost .5cm/"
Wow that was really good, I thought that I could feel it this week. I will have to sort out my wardrobe this coming week, throw all the pregnant clothes out and slowly bring out all the nice slimmer clothing. Not too fast though I still have a couple more kilos to loose before I am going to be able to fit in to all the clothes.
It has been really hot here in Sydney so I have been able to do some swimming this week, which has been nice and I like swimming as an exercise because you don't really feel like you are doing anything but you are.

Week 3 - Weigh in
Tuesday 27th January
Ok here goes, as we know it wasn't a good weekend but I did my best. Lets see if I have lost some weight this week. I have still been following the Strip That Fat program.
Goal weight =60kg/130lbs
Weight & Measurements - Week 3
Weight = 65.9kg/145.2lbs - found 100grams/.22lb :o(
Chest = 92cm/36.2" - lost .5cm/"
Waist = 87cm/34.2" - found .5cm/."
Hips = 94.5cm/37.2" - lost .5cm/"
Thighs = 91.5cm/36.2" (legs together) - lost 1cm/.39"
Well not too bad over all considering. Some lost some found, I will have to do better next week. I will just have to try harder on the weekends. I don't seem to have the problem during the week, I have even stopped finishing off the childrens dinners for them and just eating my own.
I will also have to attempt to do some more exercise which will help, but finding the time is not always that easy.
Fingers crossed for the next weigh in.

Not a good weekend
Monday 26th January
As I mentioned in the last post, we were going away to my parents house which is about a 4 1/2 hour drive south of Sydney. It was a long weekend here in Australia which made it even worse, 3 days to be bad instead of just the 2.
I was doing ok in the beginning but then there were the sticky date & walnut buns and I really like them, the trouble was I bought a dozen of them to share and not everyone turned up, so consequently there were some left over, I just had to have another one to make sure it was still as good as the first one I ate. Oops the program says to treat yourself occasionally, but I don't think it meant that much.
I think that it should be ok, but tomorrow will be the tell tale. See what the weights and measurements have got to say about it. Fingers crossed for tomorrows weigh in.
