HAPPY NEW YEAR: 2010 sure is looking good!

Week: 1
Current: 87kg
Lost: --
Mood: Cheery!
Survived NYE coming in 1 point under!!! =)

Had a GORGEOUS night. Stayed at the Newcastle youth hostel with the family and the Greek restaurant we went to was FANTASTIC! Food was amazing (and filling) and the open menu meant I could have little bits of everything (passed on herb bread and cheese-filled pastry though). That was followed by an hour or so of traditional Greek dancing mixed with classic disco! Midnight was marked with more dancing, plate smashing and yuuummmmmy Greek honey cake (which i split with mum =D)

What made it better was that the new dress (that was a little tight when I bought it on Boxing Day)was too loose! I had to Hollywood tape it on! After only 4 days! =D

I'll post pics soon!

I also did a 40 minute walk from the beach up to a hilltop lookout and back in the afternoon.

Yesterday was good too apart from going over on 5 point worth of nibbles at a friends place. Didn't sweat it too much though because I went for a swim and had the points I'd saved for NYE.
Last night was spent watching chick flicks with drunk backpackers at the hostel and beating my little brother at chess.

Overall a kicking start to the new year!
Wishing you all the best for the new year and beyond!

Day 2: Still Going Great Guns!

Week: 1
Current: 88kg
Lost: --
Mood: Content/Concerned

It's day 2 and I'm actually enjoying trying different food options and getting to know people on the community. I'm already feeling good! Eating better and extra exercise is a total endorphin boost!
Joined a group on WW.com.au thats tracking til easter, which is great. It's nice to know people are in the same boat!

Another hour at gym today was a burn but felt great after. I gradually building my Ultimate Gym Playlist, which really helps me get into the groove!

Very tempted to take measurements and weight myself but I figure if I havent lost anything I'll be disapointed and if I have it'll feel better if I wait as it'll be more. =)

My measurements on Sunday night were:
Bust: 105 cm
Waist: 108.5 cm
Hips: 118 cm
Arms: 34 cm
Thighs: 69 cm


I'm confident I can keep this up, I just worried about the next day or so because we're going out for new years and new years day. I'm going to take a notebook and keep track of all the food I eat and how much. I've also been adviced that eating in the morning and such will help me keep control. =)

Nestle Diet Chocolate Mouse is a (ONE POINT) lifesaver! =P

Ok.... I've been exploring the WW community board and the general opinion is to work in smaller goals....

So here are mine:

#1 Loose anything in the first week!
#2 Loose 3kg
#3 Loose 5kg
#4 Loose 7kg
#5 Loose 10kg
#6 Loose More.....

Ideally: I'd like to look drastically different by April 30..... My 17th Birthday!

Day One!

Week: 1
Current: 88 Kg
Lost: --
Mood: Optimistic =)

I am well and truely sick of hating what I see when I look in the mirror, of wanting to cry whenever I go dress shopping, of hating people who are pretty and of always been known or seen as "the fat chick"...

Thus... Last night I signed up for weight watchers online and after a little bit of shock at how much stuff I can't eat, I got the hang of it and I did well today. I even finished with points to spare! =)

The community on the website looks very nice, helpful and supportive and I really feel this will make an impact! =)
