Just bought a new domain name suz.bz - I like it

I am going to have to tidy up my domain names.

I am letting
sj.net.nz
theideasmachine.com
wishesandblessings.com
ittechshare.com and
helpdeskshare.com run out.

I am keeping
suz.bz (to replace sj.net.nz),
jeffares.info (for family),
nzchildcare.info (as my own resourse and if it helps others great),
and I'm keeping nzideas.com.

I am seriously considering selling
cpnz.com
kiwiideas.com
nzfindit.co.nz
nzfindit.com
aucklandit.com
dunedinit.com
and christchurchit.com.

A few tips that have helped me loose weight

1) At least 8 glasses of water (get more exercise running to the loo, helps you feel fuller and gives you something with no calories to put in your mouth, I have also been told that your body needs to burn more calories to heat up your body with more water in it.)
2) Green tea - Has something in it that helps you not feel so hungry and heaps of other great reasons
3) Have breakfast - speeds up your metabolism for the day
4) Start on low calories and slowly increase to your maintenance level - your body won't have as many plateus and you will then know where your maintenance level is. (My opinion as it worked for me)
5) Walks are a great form of easy exercise (My opinion again)
6) Fiber is your friend
7) Eat bulk foods that help keep you full (carrots, asparagus, lettuce, tomatoes, pumpkin)
8) Don't deny yourself (on saturdays I have a special meal - kfc, burger fuel, my favorite smoked fish in white sauce on pasta etc) I just stay within my calorie allowance for the day
9) And this special site, track your food habits, count your calories, read the articles, take inspiration from others. - www.Sparkpeople.com is brilliant

Maintenance

Well Im still maintaining, still 128 :-)

Ok, I promised and now I'm keeping the promise

The last time I felt comfortable in a bikini And now 22 Sept 2006

Last night was the reason for the goal date

and the first photo is the ball 2005
82 kg/ 181 pounds/ 12 stone 13 pounds

the ball 2006
58 kg/ 128 pounds / 9stone 2 pounds

Wow I can't believe I have lost 53 pounds

Weigh in again and

again I am 128, so it looks like I am stuck on 1400 calories a day, I have worked out what my actual diet is (already entered in) so I can stop counting calories and have a healthy balanced diet, while allowing for the daily sweet (cause I have a sweet tooth).

My diet rounded off, so I can stop counting calories

water 8 glasses
breakfast 1 egg and 1 cup all bran, teaspoon marmite
lunch soup or standard sushi or salad or weight watchers meal and 2 carrots
dinner a small meal,
1) 1 cup of vege, 1/2 cup of carb, 1/2 a hand of protein, 2
tablespoon flavouring
2) Soup with 50 grams of smoked salmon
3) Weight watchers meal or other equal low fat meal
4) 1 snack pizza (like Mcain) with 50 grams of smoked salmon
5) Large salad with either low fat dressing or no dressing with either
1/2 of grilled chicken or 50 grams of smoked salmon
snack 3 sugar free suckers, 2 milk biscuits,
pudding or drink
1 weight trumpet or weight watchers icecream tub/Chocolate pudding with a lollie or 2 mini chocolates or 1 mini chocolate and 3 lollies, or 6 lollies or 2 glasses of wine or 2 kahlua with diet coke, or 1 double kahlua with diet coke. (licorice alsorts = to the mini chocolates)

This morning was the day of judgement...

I'm back down to 128, so I'm feeling happy with keeping with the 1400 calories a day. I was worrying for nothing.

unofficial weigh in and I have gained 2 pounds

.... what to do, what to do. My goal is 128 by Saturday and I am back up to 129. I know it takes about a week for the body to sort out the extra calories to speed up the metabolisim. I'm going to give my body 2 days to settle into the calorie rise, if this does not happen I'm taking my calories back down to 1200 and each week just go up 20 calories a day.

Weigh day

Weigh in day - I am down to 127 pounds. I am raising my calorie intake to 1400. I am feeling very comfortable in my skin, I am still unsure about food and the amount of calories to maintain.

Weigh in yesterday

ok, decision time. I've decided that my chest is the smallest I wish to accept and my hips are just not going to get much smaller - genes aren't all kind in our family. So the decision is that 128 is my ideal weight. So now I have to learn how to maintain - wish me luck. I am now going to increase my calorie count to 1300.
