now that I'm getting my head back on after the chaos of the last wee while ivevdecided it's time to take my body back. I'm happy with who I am and howls I look for probably the first time EVER but I like being fitter and more toned than I currently am and I would like to regain the body I had in 2013 when I lost 30kg in 360 days.
so.... Winter challenge. Lose 10kg, regain tone, feel strong, and be able to wear the smaller clothes in my wardrobe again! I know how to lose weight, and I know why I put some back on, and I think I got this
anyone else tackling winter this way?

NBR health kick... And this time I'm really doing it

Good for you Trudi, I have been thinking the same thing. I honestly have never been heavier in my life, even through all 3 of my pregnancies. I have bought a size bigger clothes and although I sometimes think I dont look too bad, a lot of the time I wish I wasnt this size. I have lost weight before so I know I can do it...
Time has shown me that when it comes to losing weight and getting fit it will either work or it won't, and for me something in my head has to click before it works. I clicked and now I have all sorts of plans and goals again.
I hit goal weight just before xmas 2013 and never properly maintained it. I know why and I can fix it this time.
I also think it's gotta be about more than a scale number if it's going to work. This time my goal has a number attached but the non-scale victories will feel just as good

Good on you Trudi, no better feeling than getting fitter.
Im still on my junk free June mission and LOVING it. I've lost weight and feel better. I didn't go into it wanting to lose weight but I have. The first few days were the pits I've actually had to learn to eat properly again. I used to only eat dinner (sometimes not even dinner) but have chocolate, lollies or a couple of biscuits around 2pm to keep me going till dinner. Now I have 2-3 meals and snack on fruit and nuts.

Maree I think it's just my life coming back into balance now that the stress of dads illness (and his passing) is beginning to be able to be put behind me a little at a time.
Bex I can't restrict categories because I've gone down the self starvation/ED route before and for me it's a slippery slope. I'm not hugely reliant on sugar anyway, more on cheese, crackers and coffee lol

That makes sense - bad habits creep in when you have your mind elsewhere! I never got back on the wagon after getting sick and taking hormone blockers. They're not stopping me now though, it's just something in my head keeps letting me forgive/minimise/justify my bad (usually sugar and dodging exercise) behaviour..(addiction voice..)
I'll be trying to lose 10kgs this winter. I was last at my goal weight 5 years ago and I'm tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own body. I know I'll be happier once I start toning and feel less "flabby" and my clothes aren't as tight. The scale number is there as additional motivation and I only weigh myself once a month, otherwise it's easy to lose motivation when my weight flutuates during the month due to water retention or hormones (I retain up to 2kgs in water when suffering from PMS! It's a lot and it feels awful).
I finished reading the book "Skinny Me" by Charlene Carr over the weekend (the Kindle version is available for free from Amazon, for those that are interested) and even though it's fiction, I found it to be very motivating ... I even went for my first 3km walk this morning!

Hopefully moving out of this dump of a house will be just better for my health in general, as I seem to always have a cough or the sniffles or just something that is generally unpleasant. Not really jumping on the weightloss train though, as I am happy in my skin :-) Good luck to you though! I hope you meet your goals for you xx
Yep, this is how I'm tackling my winter. 14kgs down since March and still going. I've turned into a cray gym person though. I love it so much and I'm really enjoying feeling some hard muscle amongst the flabby parts lol. I can't diet as such.I get too deprived and just binge, so I've been focusing on just eating a bit better but not counting anything.?I have had a few weeks lately where I've gone up and down on the scales but I think my headspace is better and I'm not going to give up.
good day! I'm trying to get into healthy habits like a wee walk at lunchtime and after work, and making my lunch so that i know what i'm eating. Todays lunch was broccoli, chicken and almond salad with honey mustard dressing, and tomorrows just came out of the oven; slow roasted butternut squash with the seeds scooped out and the hollow refilled with (cooked) chicken mixed with sundried tomato and cream pasta sauce, topped with cheese <3
Good on you, ladies!
I was doing really well a couple of weeks ago but I tried to start working out with a friend and our schedules did NOT mesh (well, our three toddlers' schedules did not mesh!) and my exercising went out the window!
So I need to get back into working out, too. I'm less concerned about the weight (got a few kgs to lose, but nothing major), but when I strengthen my core I fix my back problems. When I don't exercise if I get 7 or more hours of sleep I wake up with my lower back all seized up, so it's pretty clear my body wants me to get off my ass and start working out!!
