Anyone set a new years goal to lose weight?
I bet everyone did

anyone broken it yet>?

I am so excited, this is my year. I think most people say that every year but to feel it is something else altogether.

I have lost 7kg so far since xmas. But I lost another 7 before that and just hovered when I lost interest (so all up I have lost 14kg)

I am watching the biggest loser this year, hoping to get some more inspiration for my weight loss journey. I think because I have been obese for so much of my childhood I am just over it to the point where I am full of determination to get rid of it. I am hoping by the time I am 19 (end of the year) that I have lost at least 30 kilos and on the way to be health and fit!

So who else has a 2009 goal?

that is awesome Kayla
i hope you continue to be motivated and lose weight .. and good on you tackling it while you are young - the older you get and the longer you have kept it on - the harder it is to lose - and we all know being overweight is not good for us

my daughter and I started a healthy eating and exercise program today - 2 years ago i lost 12 kilos - but the stress of losing my job i put on 7 kilos and then medication i was on added another 7 ... and so have been feeling blah and unfit for months .. and time to take actoin

well kathryn i'm thinking that you look pretty great in your family photos!

I weighed in today and got a nice surprise.
Have now lost 9.1 kilos all up since start
and I measured myself for the first time since I started yesterday and my mouth dropped to the floor. I couldn't believe how many centimeters I have lost already.
It makes me so much more committed to losing it all!

they say cm's are the way to go over the scales
I've had a good week so far .... easier to eat unhealhily though !!! i'm so busy ... so i grabbed a whole heap of frozen low cal meals for those nights that i'm jsut too late to cook

it sure is easier to eat unhealthy!

Lunch is my biggest meal...and for that lately
I have been having a piece of zucchini slice and a serving of cous cous with stir fried vegetables.

It sounds like a lot of preparation but it isn't really.
I make the zucchini slice in bulk and store it in zip lock baggies in the freezer.
The cous cous I make every second day and add the stir fry fresh veggies with some herbs, I eat one of those servings (it makes 2) on the day and the other one goes in the fridge for the next day.

Need to think of some more meals easy to prepare for lunch though so I don't get bored with this one.

How are you going Kathryn?

I am wearing a top today that I haven't worn in ages cause it didn't fit...YAY
I have lost 10.9 kilos
I have been feeling really great over the last week. I think that all this exercise and healthy eating + medication has really been working wonders with my depression. Also I read that fish also helps and I have had that 3 times this week.

My goal is to lose 60 kilos which is a HUGE amount but I can do it. It might take me a long while, but I will get there!

lost a small amount in my first week
adn was doing good this week - but overate today -for no reason other than the food was here - i need to work on that ... learning to say NO
back on track tomorrow

yeah sometimes thats the hardest part.
I guess I am lucky in a way that my family agreed to do the healthy eating thing as well so there really are no 'bad' foods here!

The hardest thing my parents are dealing with is cutting back the alcohol!...they drink way too much! They aren't alcoholics or anything they just enjoy a good drink too often!

I lost 7 kilos last year over 2 bouts of illness (July and October). If anything, I need to put on a kilo or two. Hardly anything fits as most of my pants are now too big.

Oh that doesn't sound too good Kim...
I hate being sick, it's really the pits
I remember about exactly a year ago when I was really sick with some chronic headaches and nausea. I lost 8 kilos in that month I was pretty much bed ridden. I did put them back on though.

I was naughty this morning and weighed myself (not suppose to weigh myself till friday) but I was very happy with the numbers. Will just wait till Friday to tell how much
