I put on 400grams this week. I was sort of expecting it. I have been careful with what I am eating but we went out for dinner a couple of nights last week and I had a couple of lollies. If I was being honest with myself I should have worked harder last week. Well that week is over and now I am half way through a new week. This week I have been religiously watching what I eat. I have started to drink a protein drink for breakfast - just to check if it makes a big difference by cutting out some carbs. I don't mind the drink for breakfast, it tastes ok. A good thing is that I am filling fuller for longer.
Gary is going well - he has 3 paying clients (personal training) now. A cousin, a cousin-in-law and a guy from his tennis club. I am so proud of him. He is going to make a great trainer when he finishes his course. Speaking of his course, Gary has his 2nd exam next week. I know he is nervous about it. He gets really stressed and snaps at people really quickly. I am crossing my fingers for him to pass and move onto the next module. This one has been a bummer and I know he is excited about doing a placement at the studio.
That's enough from me now.

10kgs down!
I finally have lost 10kgs. There are some wonderful people on the ww boards who motivate and support me. I posted the following on the WW forum and this is the responses I have gotten so far. (hopefully this will work :)
I have lost my first 10kgs, well 10.6kgs actually! I am so thrilled I had to yell it out to whoever is listening. It been tough with being made redundant and starting a new job, trying to not compete with my sister who is doing the TF diet and losing heaps. I stuck it out and now I am 10.6kgs lighter. Yay!
Sonia
That's FANTASTIC Sonia! 10.6kg is amazing! If you can do that with all the stress of changing jobs, you can do anything! . . . . . . . . . .Kathleenm
Congratulations on losing your first 10kg Sonia. I am sure this is the first of many milestones that you will knock over in the coming months etc. As for competing with your sister... don't bother. You are doing this for you and it is you who will reap the benefits of not only losing weight but adopting a lifestyle that brings sustainable weight loss.
Keep it going. . . . . . . . . . . Neilguy

9.9kgs down!
Yay for me! I lost 1.5kgs this week which has bought my total to 9.9kgs lost. I am really proud of myself. I tried to pee out the last 100grams but to no avail. Oh well, hopefully next week I will make it to 10kgs lost and then I will get my next charm for my bracelet.
Things are looking up now. I had my stitches taken out today and there is a small scar on my cheek just under my right eye. I got the all clear from the surgeon so that was a big relief. Now I can start exercising again, I can't wait!
Well this week I want to do the following:
- Tue * personal training 45 mins
- Wed * swimming (hopefully 14 laps or more)
- Thu * deep water running
- Fri * free day
- Sat * Gym
- Sun * Swimming
See ya soon

Why I stopped weight watchers
This is a hard one to write. There were a lot of reasons why I stopped my online membership with weight watchers. I still am a regular on the ww forum boards, I find alot of motivation and support from them, but the actual membership was costly and I am trying to cut down the budget at the moment. The ww tracker annoyed me as the food points were not keep up-to-date, it is 3 months since point came in for pumpkin, corn etc but the tracker still hasn't been updated. I basically felt ripped off.
In one of the ww forums one of the girls was talking about the Calorie King Database. I took the 7 day trial and found it a much better tracker than the ww one. It calculates not only kjs and sat fat but protein, carbs, sodium. It is a lot more comprehensive and gives me heaps of reports to track my progress. After the 7 day free trail we downloaded the database for $50, we don't have to pay a monthly fee like ww, it is ours to keep, and it gets updated at least once a month with new foods. There is also an online membership that I have just joined (for free) and that seems really good too.
So the good news is that I haven't given up on leading a healthy lifestyle and losing weight, just changed my provider. I also feel good as I am watching that I eat more protein and less carbs which makes me feel better about myself.
Onto other matters... I am getting my stitches out on Monday (can't come quick enough). I am sick of the big bandage on my face and t is in my line of vision which is very annoying.
During the last week and a half I haven't been able to exercise (surgeon said not to) so I don't expect to lose a lot of weight. I worked out how much weight I have lost each month this morning. Although the results aren't as good as Tam's (who has lost over 12 kgs in 5 weeks) I am happy with them. On average I am losing 0.6kgs a week (Nov 06 - 3.3kgs / Dec 06 - 1.8kgs / Jan 07 - 1.3 / Feb 07 - 2.5kgs).
Well that's it for me this week.
Still as focused as the week I started!
