It’s been 9 weeks now since I started this weight loss journey again.
There’s been some gains, but mainly losses..
Not too many huge ones, but losses all the same.
Today I finally reached the big FIVE
That’s 5kgs off and out of there!
Wooohooo!
I’d be lying if I said I was completely happy how things are progressing.
Things are moving a little to slowly for my liking.
I love to be rewarded after putting in the effort, who doesn‘t?, and these measly little losses I’ve been having of late are really doing my head in.
I’ve tried changing what I eat, amounts, eating more/less at different times of the day, and nothing seems have kicked off this weight loss at all.
It’s reasonable to be asking for a 700g loss a week?, I weigh over 100kgs after all.
Isn’t it recommended that you lose 1% of your total body weight a week.
At least initially.
Anyways this week I’ve decided to drop my daily points allowance by 3, and see if that has some effect.
Anyone following the WW plan either in the UK or Oz, will know that in order to work out your daily points now, you take a little quiz.
I have an active job where I’m constantly running about like a headless chicken, walking close to 7-8 KM a day, just at work (and I work in a box!)
So technically I’m dropping the extra points I’ve been given because of that.
I think I might take to wearing my pedometer, and recording the actual bonus points I should be getting while at work. To see if they correspond to what I’m actually meant to be using.
Other news:
Today marked the start of the next 6 week challenge.
I haven’t quite worked out what my challenge goals are going to be this time, but have a few.
- No chocolate
- Getting back into the nineties
- Beating Jadey!
Kristy I’m sure is going to leave me in the dust this time round!
I have an excuse though, half way through I’m heading back to OZ for a visit.
My first in 2 years…
Now it can go either way.
- I go completely nuts making the most of all the delicious Aussie foods I’ve missed living in the UK
- I realise I’ve gone without it for 2 years why do I want it now!?!
Mmm I wonder which road I shall take?
I’m hoping it won’t be all bad. I’m excited to be able to swim outdoors again, and go to a gym with classes that I can actually attend!
Wooohooo for combat classes!
But I don’t want to make things to strict for myself, as I know there’s bound to be a whole heap of socialising going on.
But it would be nice to come away having had a great time, and lost some of that excess baggage in the process.

Oooo congrats! Awesome effort!
How are you going to reward yourself?????
maybe when get to 10kgs down I'll start thinking of mini rewards
Why dont you post a few days of food diaries?
If it were me visiting, I'd go nuts :) Hence why I have so much weight to lose...
Ali I recommend you think of something to reward yourself now. New pair of trousers? Something to wear over Xmas?
Buying something in Australia? Come on hun 5kg and all the effort you've been putting in are worth it.
5kg is huge. Also don't worry about the small losses. I was the same, I'd lose like 100g some weeks then gain 200g the next. but over the 12 months I lost 20kg.
I've also noticed the people who have the bigger losses seem to gain the weight back.
It wont be the same as last time it'll be a unique journey every time.
I hope you do figure out what works for you though, good work for trying some different things.
