Well, it has been a while since I last posted!! I am now 33 weeks pregnant - definately our surprise baby!! It has bought Weight Watchers to a huge hault!! My plan was to still do WW whilst pregnant and eat healthy, etc,etc....

I am really disappointed in myself!! Somedays I have great days, but on the whole I haven't been treating my body or this new baby nearly as good as I should be!! I have eaten junk like anything - did very little exercise. It is the "old Natasha" back alright! Excuses after excuses!!!

For these last few weeks of the pregnancy i really want to be as good as I can be - back to tracking and taking this seriously! Taking life seriously! I had a little "life moment" the other day. It really affects me when healthy people die of cancer (Jane McGrath, Kerryn McCann). I realise that we can be taken at any time for no reason - nothing we can do to prevent it. So I am now determined to do EVERYTHING I need to do so that my life doesn't get taken from me from something that could have been prevented! I am looking after this precious body from now on!!

The "new Natasha" is here!

Being overweight is hard, losing weight is hard. Chose your hard!!!

well, I am a 90's girl!!! YAY for me!!! This is an absolutely amazing feeling. I lost 1.3kg last night so I now weigh 99.0kg. Wow!! i seriously cannot stop smiling.

I know I said a VERY long time ago that I would never hit that 100kg mark (and obviously i did!!), this time I mean it when i say i will NEVER be 100kg again!!! My next mini goal is now to be 90kg, along the way i will actually weigh less than Damien!!! :-)

I must get Damien to take a full length photo of me one of these days soon!!

Yay, I am so proud of myself!!! I am actually starting to think like a "thin" person!! I get guilty when I have few too many lollies, etc. Not because I "think" I should be guilty, but because I truly know that they are providing nothing substantial for my precious body!!! LOL - listen to this "new Natasha", where did she come from???

My goal is to be 98kg at the end of May, if I have a good week this week I should definitely meet that goal.

I don't often feel "pretty" but I actually did this night!!! So of course I had a photo taken!!! I think you can actually tell I have lost weight. I now have a neck!!!

well - i am just gutted!!! I had a gain tonight, it was 100grams. I know that doesn't sound much but today is my birthday!!! I had my very first gain on my birthday! What makes it really hard is that I truly, honestly don't believe that I should have gained weight. I have stuck to my points and have exercised every day!!! I did 3 seperate workouts today - on my birthday!!!

Anyway - I have cried, now i just need to get over it! It is a brand new week and I am determined to get under that 100kg mark next week!!! This definitely isn't going to stop me achieving my goal - a little bump along the way and that is all!!!

-xxx-

I am just blown away!!!! I lost 2.6kg tonight at weigh in!!! yep - 2.6kg in one week!!! I had a great week - but I really didn't do anything different to normal. I think my body is just giving me an extra reward for my birthday and Mother's Day!!!

We decided last week that we are moving to Wagga at the end of next month. I am determined to keep focused on this journey through out all the packing, etc.... I am just hoping that I can get a great leader in Wagga.

well - today was just amazing!!! At playgroup today, a lady that doesn't come very often came over to start chatting as if she didn't know me (I have met her a few times). Once she knew the boys names, she clicked and recognised me. She said I "look different" today - I didn't think too much of it. I just said I was tired!! She then came back a bit later - and said "I know what it is" - "have you lost a fair bit of weight". OMG - I cannot believe that she didn't recognise me at 1st because of my weight loss!!! Unbelieveable!!!

It only gets better!!! A little bit later another mum (who is just lovely!!) told me that i am looking amazing and wanted to know what my secret was!! She said she noticed a few weeks back that i had lost some weight but didn't want to say something in case she offended. She is also a larger lady and said that because I am looking so good, she is also going to start coming to Weight Watchers with me on a Monday. Can you believe it -I have inspired someone to lose weight!!! Honestly, I am just blown away!!!

I cannot stop smiling!!!!

Another week gone, another weigh in done. I lost 0.9kg last night. This is great as we were away in Canberra for 3 days. My goal was always to be 100kg for my birthday. This is still achievable for me (JUST!!). I have 2 more weigh ins before my birthday and I need to lose 2.8kg. This is a biggish ask - but i am going to stay focused this week and hope for the best!!!

Wow - to be under 100kg, that is going to be great!!! My BMI is going down every week, I am only obese now!! I started morbidly obese, so soon I will just be overweight!!!

Still loving my new meeting! The leader is very nice and actually gets to know us personally.

Hoping for a GREAT week -xxx-

well - we have just returned from 3 days away in Canberra. Had a great time. The weather was fabulous and Conrad had a blast playing with his cousins!! This was also my 1st weight watchers challenge. Just wanted to say that I THINK I have passed with flying colours!!! I ate pretty well. One the 1st night there we went to the club for dinner. Everyone was having deep fried stuff - pretty much the only thing on the menu. I had the sald bar, and literally only ate some salad, oh, and some fruit for dessert.

I even went the gym at the motel. I woke up at 6:00 both mornings and went to the gym. The "old Natasha" definately would not have done that!!! I had a quick peak at the scales tonight and they look promisinig - so hopefully on Monday I will have a good loss. -xxx-

Well, weighed in last night. Lost 1.7kg!!! I am SO happy with that. I now have only 1.9kg to lose and then I have lost 20kg!!! Now - that is pretty impressive. I did well last week, ate my correct points and exercised most days, so I definately did deserve my loss.

I started a new meeting last night as my other one closed down. I actually really liked the leader - she was great. She made it very personal. I only knew one other person there from my old meeting, but everyone seemeed very friendly!

I am off to Canberra in 2 days -this is my first WW test. I think I am going to do alright. I am taking my own breakfasts and snacks - so I should be pretty good. Caught up with a girlfriend today that I haven't seen for a few months - she could really notice that I have lost some weight (she didn't know I was doing WW). I have actually inspired her to try harder as well. :-)

Well, today is my first day of blogging - something very new for me :-) I have been doing Weight Watchers for 14 weeks now -I am actualy so proud of myself. Proud for actually sticking to something, proud because I am trying and proud because it is working!!! I have lost 16.4kg so far. I know there is lots to go - but i have started my life to become a healthier and happier person.

I have stuck to my plan pretty well. I am definately doing more exercise than I ever imagined. I am also eating healthier. I am just so excitied firstly to get below 100kg, and then to get to 65kg.

So far, so good.......... -xx-
