Hey Mel,

I know that would be so cool, his from Auckland (well a suburb of) he went to Mount Albert Boys I think thats the name of it I can't remember the name of the suburb. In regards to the boy situation me being away is what brought everything to the surface, it had been a while that we had been away from each other for so long (it was two weeks for that stint but there was two weeks before that I really on get home for one or two days and then I am off again). So I think being away was a good thing coz when we were at home something would come up and then an hour later or next day whatever it would be forgotten about but I would still have it pent up inside. It was just stupid things like being lazy in the relationship and just being irresponsible and stuff, but to much of it becomes a problem.

It wil be so cool to have a real life chat over a skinny latte that will be so cool, I am going to get to NZ at some point I have to that was the next destination on my list of places to go and I really want to go next year, if I am still with my boy it will e with him if not I will get there anyway.

Cheers to clothes falling off yay!!!!

Geez my boy has just sms'd consistently for the last hour the rugby is on and one of his texts was "did you see that pass" what a rugby freak I have it on but I really ain't paying that much attention HAHAHA.

I know what you mean with the bikini hanging I had a dress that i bought from this shop that was having a 50% off sale and this dress was a really cute summer dress so I bought it and hung it up next to the mirror, amd whenever my mum or my boy were over they would put it in my wardrobe and I was telling them "its my inspration dress, to inspire me!" they didn't get it either hehehe.

Do you do measurements as well Mel? I did some when I started this program but haven't done any since I am gonna save the measurements for the periods of time I'm not losing weight.

With work I am pretty much away from now until about mid Feb next year, I get a whole month at home from mid December to Mid January. It's cool coz I am getting to see alot of Australia that I wouldn't get to, last week I was in outback QLD, and it was definatley outback but the landscape, sceneary and sunsets were beautiful, the land was red earth it was dry and really hot, but beautiful. The place I am now is all green hills the total opposite so its like everything changes almost from one day to the next.

Mel also I am in love with the All Blacks captain Richie? Do you? I can't find any one here that agrees with me ? Sorry I appear to be in some kind of Rugby mode ?? It's mental I don't know how this happened to me (well I do but it freaks me out sometimes)

hehehe oooo richie mccaw! isnt he a dream! there was an article in one of my womens mags last week describing the 10 reasons that made him perfect! i fell slightly even more in love haha. hes single 2! perhaps we should hunt him down when your over for the visit!!!

haha my boyfriend is a football lover! (being english and everything) and so since the time difference is great im constantly forced to wake up in the middle of the night and watch it with him haha i dont mind really i quite enjoy it but still!

the places you are travelling sound amazing! i would love to leave uni now and travel for forever EVERYWHERE! it would be absolutely divine. I wish my visa had an everlasting supply of free money! australia is so beautiful and i would like 2 visit again soon. it would be nice 2 see some of the quieter off the track places i havent seen before!

No unfort i didnt take any measurements! i wish i had, i also wish id taken a photo of me in my bra and undies or something so that i had something 2 compare but alas im a silly girl and completely forgot!

Me too I think when I get back I will take some I front and side there is still 20kg to go, but i will run into the photo place do a self print delete the phots on run out !

I think Richie is perfect he is such a man !!! I love him hey i dropped another half kilo I am so excited when your good it really does pay

yay im so happy!! good on u lovely!!! i need to take some photos 2!! maybe we should make a challenge for us or a goal or something! (no pressure dates or anything just something for us to look forward too!!!)

I am all for it Mel, you make it up and well do it...yay xoxox

suzie do u have msn darling or a chat programme of any kind? then we can talk and complain and congradulate much more

ohh umm I don't think so ? this is a work computer so it has certain restrictions and stuff we can't access a friend tried to find it once before and couldn't. I know it sux

i have hotmail is it in there?

Hi Mel,

I just tried to install it and it wouldn't let me sorry.

suzie thats ok darling! just thought it would be easier and fun if we could instant chat! do you have any goss from today? what time is it there? hows work going? im just hanging out at home watching movies! i should really get up and do some exercise!!!

No nothing really today I have had the day off just went for a walk in town looking for souveniers, couldn't find a souvenier shop I try and get something from each place I go. I am just waiting to have my dinner which won't be until about 7:30. When the day is going slow its harder waiting for meal times. I am trying to guzzle down water hoping it'll shift some more weight. I just watching the NRL semi finals I am hoping my team (melbourne Storm) win it. I think I might be weight loss obsessed I keep thinking about hitting the seventies, Just after the last few weeks it would be nice to finish the month with something good like that. What do you study at uni?

Ooo a day off, very nice!!! I love collecting things from everywhere! Do you collect anything in particular? your not a closet spoon lover or anything haha?

I know what u mean about it being harder to wait when the day is going slow! I'm so proud that your being so focussed at the moment! the water will def help!!! I've been so slack lately and its been horrible cause im not learning a lesson cause i have been eating horribly and not gaining. I keep saying, tomorrow tomorrow but i think i will actually start tomorrow. I might even notice a good weight loss this week cause im sure im retaining a lot of water.

Haha oo im a souths fan personally, as well as the warriors! my dad and younger brother are heading over to sydney for the final and are really looking forward to it! its great that u like sports, im exactly the same

I am positive you will make it into the 70's soon and im so unbelievably excited and jealous i am desperate to make it there so i will have to try very very very hard and maybe i will catch you up EVENTUALLY haha

I'm doing psychology and sociology at uni

Oh my the spoon comment just cracked me up!! When I started I was trying to figure out if i should focus on something particular most have been shot glasses coz they are small and easy to carry, but there was this one day we went to a town in the middle of no where and I thought I wasn't going to get anything, then I walked into the newsagent and the only thing they had were the spoons so yes I guess I will be impartial to spoons dependant on their availability. They made me laugh and think about the eighties when my mum used to buy them when we went away on holidays.

Tomorrow sounds like a good day to kick in, I am here to share with you and of course all the other people that come through on the forum. I am 1.5kg before I hit the "need to lose 20kg" Mel so we can officially start that journey tomorrow together.
Wohhooo go team!!!!

hehe when you do your exercise do you walking and stuff or more hard core things like weights etc walking is always good

HAHA yay we love the spoons!!!

for my exercise quota i play netball 4 days a week in the evenings and try and get my heart rate up for at least 30 mins by running and then walking repetively. i def dont do anything serious, i figure maybe when ive got 5 kgs to go i will start doing more weight training to try and start turning some fat into muscle! how tall are u suzie? i think i would probably be better at 65 kgs but i want to get 2 70 and see how i go there.
