Well my saturday weigh in saw me lose another 0.7kg, bringing my total up to 49.2kg
I've been a bit off track the last few days, I think i'm mentally already in holiday mode as we go to the Hunter Valley on Thursday for a week.
Sam has said to me we are going to track while we're away, which is good ... what is not good is that I've already demolished my 49 weekly points and it's only Monday!!!
Anyway, just a quick hello and an update! Post me a comment and let me know how you're doing :)

Well it's been a year!
Today officially marks 12 months at Weight Watchers!!
I have weigh in tomorrow morning and I know it's been another good week on the WW front so I'm hoping for a good loss! Mum had her weigh in yesterday and a loss of 1.6kg brought her 12 month total loss to 47.9kgs.
Measurements were done last weekend and I have lost 230cms from my body.
7.5cms from my neck
29cms from upper arms(total for both)
28.5cms from chest
39cms from waist
37cms from hips
62cms from thighs(total for both)
27cms from calf (total for both)
Tomorrow I also start helping out at both Saturday morning meetings at Harrington Park. I am so excited about this! I have been thinking of wanting to do it for weeks and was too nervous to ask Marie, my leader. Anyway, I bit the bullet last Saturday and the funny thing was that she was planning on asking me anyway!
It's amazing what a change the last 12 months has brought.
When I started it was all about the weight, I wasn't concerned with health goals or anything, I just wanted to be skinny, but that has all changed!
I now feel full of energy
I enjoy going out and socialising
I have much more self confidence
I can buy clothes from 'normal' stores
I don't get out of breath walking up a flight of stairs (I actually walked up the stairs to the 4th floor of my building with no problem!)
I no longer crave junk food and chocolate
My body naturally wants to have healthy filling food
I can control myself when I go out, I don't have to eat everything in sight!
My blood pressure is normal for the first time since I was 15, it used to fluctuate between 140/90 to 180/100
My thighs no longer rub when I walk
I enjoy exercise
I feel in control and happy with myself and my life
Anyone who is reading this that is struggling, just starting out, or thinking about making a change please know you CAN do this. Last January the thought of being almost 80kgs seemed impossible, but a day at a time, a week at a time I kept going and here I am today. Each christmas I used to look at the photos and think "next year will be different" and it never was, I tried the shakes, the diet pills, not eating, but I never looked at changing my lifestyle to be a healthy one, I wanted a quick fix. Now I am educated on living a healthy lifestyle and almost to where I want to be. This Christmas I enjoyed looking at the photos because I finally did something about it and was so proud of how far i've come.
At the end of the day you can feel sad and depressed about your weight and the way you look, and keep on going that way, or you can decide to make a change, and each day take a step to making a better healthier life. Yes it can be hard to make the change, but isn't it just as hard to stay the same and continue feeling miserable? You just have to chose your hard, and let me tell you, doing something about it is far more rewarding in the end, whether it takes 2 months, 12 months or 2 years, in the long run it is all worth it!
