I took the liberty of inviting a few fellow tubbies, I have added 3 new authors:

My twin sis Anitra
My parents Roger and Marg
and my Sister in law Aurora

All of whom are with the program. Looking forward to sharing their pain….

I took Big Red’s advice this morning and worked out a menu plan for the week based on the book but substituting to make it mostly vegie.

It was super quick to do the shopping and I saved about 30 bucks off my normal grocery bill. I think Paul is a living example of following the books – so I aim to lose at least 1kg this week by being organised and a raving WW points nutter.

How are you going Andrew? Did you weigh in?

Weighed in originally at 110
2nd meeting 107.8
3rd meeting 107
4th meeting 106.4

Hey Folks
How do i work out the points value of some of the mock meats i eat? (Oddly enough the WW book doesnt have a section on Vincents Vegetarian)

118.3 kg at Week 0. Do you want week by week stats Ing? If so:
Week 1: -2.6 kg
Week 2: -1.2 kg
Week 3: -2.2 kg

Well, at my fourth meeting, I managed to score the “You’ve lost 5kg” bookmark. I have actually lost 6kg exactly since records began four weeks ago. I have not really arced up the exercise, just stuck pretty religiously to the menus provided.

damn those tiny dim sims.

Bloody half a point per mouthfull and they go down so quickly….

Can I blame tonight’s probable weight gain on the fact that I have to weigh in my birkenstocks?

(fixed the stylesheet though. Any suggestions welcome)

Dateline: Sunday. In the afternoon there are two *fully catered* events: an engagement party, and a 35th birthday party. The birthday party had these little toasted biscuits with avocado and chicken on them – YUM. I downed five; worked out later that they were about 1 point each – WHOOPS.

Pre dinner, managed to work out the points value for what i ate at both events, and ended up only 4 over for the day… I do not expect to lose a huge amount this week…

I have had a bit of a fiddle with the stylesheets, not very auccessfully though. Be buggered if I can work out how to get rid of those dark grey borders. Does anyone have some css mastery?

I have put a field in to record our starting weights and the current weights, if we all have an oline confessional I can fill them in….

Inger start: 86.4
Inger now: 84.6

(yay)

I have been feeling a bit off the wagon, haven’t actually done anything *bad* but haven’t been exercising. Will have to take you up on your offer of helping with the gardening Andrew….

Well, I went to the Werribee meeting tonight and it’s full of hotties. Seriously. Scrubber count: 0.

The leader was nice lady who reminded me of a woman I worked with in Westpac called Wendy. It’s in a nice newly re-painted room hanging off a community center.

Guess what? The free join thingy is on again. We missed by like three weeks. I have a free joining voucher if anyone has any friends who can use it. I also have a “get out of weighing” card. Just the one. The idea is that for a limited number of times a year if you’ve been bad. The idea is that you face the music anyway, but it gives you relief if you have been bad and it doesn’t go on your record.

Downside of this meeting location: it’s in Werribee, and it’s even further away from Melbourne than any meeting I’ve done in Victoria so far.

So news: I’ve put on 0.1 kg. I weighed with change and everything, so it could be that this is actually a zero loss, but it’s still not a loss, so I’m bad. Need to work less hours, and eat less crap, and get out in the garden.

Monica needs to lose 10 kg, by the way. I need to lose another 57.

See you all Monday.
