Plodding along

Last week I lost 500g!! Ya have been doing well since I made the decision to stop meetings. I actually thought I'd lose more as I walked for miles on 4 days. I walked from the Port to Semaphore playground and back. The next day I walked from The boat ramp to somerton pk surf club and back, with a couple of playground stops.
This week I haven't walked any where near as much, I was sick then Brooke got my cold and still has it. We will go for a walk later this morning when the air warms up. But weigh tomorrow, not expecting much change. Back on the walking wagon soon. I have been good food wise, maybe a few points over a few times. We shall see.

I lost 900g last weigh in and I just had to post my thoughts on the ww forum as I was so excited and I just wanted to let people know how easy it is once you get going and to motivate a few people and with comments back I think it did.

""I just want to let you know how a little change has helped boost me back into losing weight. I started last Sept, going to meetings by end of Nov I'd lost 8kg's. Up until 2 weeks ago I'd only lost .5kg's since then. Thats .5kgs in 6 months. With a lot of gains and losses along the way. After an interesting few chats on the skinny train it made me STOP and look at what I'd been doing, which was NOTHING, I'd hop on here some days and always talk about what I'm going to do etc and never actually do it, I decided we can talk all we want it wont lose the weight. I also looked at my meetings, we'd had a stuff around with a few crappy leaders for a while then we got 'shazzawomble' who was great, but then she left. I thought to myself I'm not getting the motivation I need from the meetings any more, so I stopped and I think having the change and knowing I was going to sink or swim when I'm only answering to myself, I made myself do it properly. And thats all it is counting points and exercising.
I'm just so happy to be back on the weight loss journey. In the last 2 weeks I've lost 1.4kg's. I've lost 9.9kg's now.
It was a plateau but a self inflicted plateau, I was going to meetings, buying every mag, but that still wont lose the weight for you. Only the exercise and counting will do that.
So I hope to now stay on this road, I certainly feel happier now.""


I'm so happy to be close to a 10kg loss and finally the 10% line on my ww tracker that I've been parralel to for such a long time. I need a 500g to get to 10% this week, I'm sure I can do it if I keep doing what I've been doing for these past few weeks.
