Or are there better ones?

I am not expecting to lose 20kg over night (though it would be nice) but something to "aid" my weight loss.

Any information /advice or tips welcome. ]]> Queen http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/diet-weight-loss/117209-acai-berry-lipotropic-other-over-counter-weight-loss-tablets.html http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/diet-weight-loss/116713-lack-commitment.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:22:10 GMT I am struggling because there are so many lifestyle factors making it sooo difficult.

I guess some is part laziness, but the laziness comes from lack of time. The lack of time comes from prioritising family time first, and yet I know that if I want the best out of family time I need to be fit and healthy. How to do both?

I guess I should say it's not really lack of commitment, more so lack of ability to commit.


I work full time and I am on my feet all day so I find it hard to negotiate exercise into my daily routine when if it is before work it exhausts me, and of it is after I am already exhausted.

We bought a season pass to the local pool, and while not doing lapsas I am both unfit and an unskilled/uncoordinated swimmer, I am getting some exercise out of it. We have a cross trainer at home as well.

What I find difficult is having no routine... my work roster is unpredictable. At the moment most shifts are 3-11 but I find it hard to maintain a routine when it changes. Also I am nto good at taking dinner to work and not a fan of reheated meals, so I am either eating crap or not eating at all.

And then on morning shifts i dont have time for breakfast.

the one thing I am good at is drinking water and I tend to drink 2-3 litres oon shift, not including at home. A headache is the first sign of not enough so I am always chugging it down.

I have the number of two BB girls thinking having some other people to bust my arse would help but I haven't had time to text them or reply. I just need more time!

I know this is a bit of a non-sensical ramble (in a hurry, work in 20 mins), but does anyone have any hints, tips or experiences to help me out?

ETA: And can anyone tell me WHY??? is all the centimetres coming off my hips and nowhere else. I hardly got hips when pregnant it's the last place I need to lose from right now. My pants won't stay up any more :( So now my baby belly is lookinh even more disproportionate! ]]> cookiemonster http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/diet-weight-loss/116713-lack-commitment.html http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/diet-weight-loss/116559-where-have-you-noticed-your-weight-loss.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:05:10 GMT So far I have lost 8.8Kg! :dance:

Still have heaps to go but am proud of my achievement.

The first place that I noticed weight coming of me was my face, then my hips, thighs and today I noticed for the first time that I dont have that back fat below my bra strap!

That is a massive WOO HOO for me!:D

Where have you noticed the weight coming off your body?

I am not doing measurements but think I should. I've gone down a dress size but I dont think I have lost any of my pudding tummy. :( I desperately want it to go from there. ]]> AliBaby http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/diet-weight-loss/116559-where-have-you-noticed-your-weight-loss.html http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/diet-weight-loss/116516-ok-i-can-take-hint.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:27:51 GMT I thought I was travelling OK with my fitness and diet........

Until my loving and very honest 3 year old decided bring to my attention that "Mummy has a big tummy '. And lately everytime I spill food, instead of landing on perky pre BF BB's, it seems to land on my post DD x3 muffin top! I have the tell-tale grease stains on my shirts to prove it.

But NO MORE!

I am challenging myself to get out and walk everyday until I can spill food without it landing somwhere in my midriff area!

Im at my wits end with losing weight and i feel like this kind of thing is the only thing i can do to lose weight successfully. I haven't used them so far as i dont want to yo yo diet.

So far i have been using protein powder instead of the traditional shake diets but haven't used them daily. Just every now and then.

Any thoughts?

OMG, I am sooo FAT! It's horrible. I knew I was overweight, but didn't think I looked so bad. It has certainly brought it home to me that I really need to get healthy and fit, not just to look better, but to just feel better with myself.
So I have up to 28kgs to lose. That would get me back to the shape I was in when I met DH at 18yrs old! But realistically I think I would probably be happy with 20kgs. That would get me back to pre ttc, pre pregnancy (including my 2nd angel) weight.
Wow, 20kgs....how daunting. Guess I won't be having anymore devil chicken wings for dinner at 9.30pm, with a 2-cupcake chaser dessert any more....:redface:
So now I am *gulp* 88kgs.....getting under 80kgs has proven to be my first hurdle recently, so that will be my first goal, to get under 80kgs, by....lets see, christmas is what, 9weeks away?? Maybe new year would be a good goal.

79.9kg's by New Years.

Iv been trying to lose weight for awhile now and its just not happening, no matter how much exercise i do it just wont shift. I keep thinking i will do a shake diet and it will come off but i know that wont happen and even when i do lose weight i will just put it back on when i finish. I think i eat healthy but obviously i dont and so i think i need to learn about what i am doing wrong as quite frankly im getting quite depressed about it and dont even want to go to the gym as i just feel like its a complete waste of time. Has anyone seen a nutritionist in regards to weight loss? What did you think? Was it worth it in your opinion or can i get just as much out of a book etc? What did they do with you? How many visits did you need to have? How much did it cost? Thanks for any opinions and replies! Hi
