HELLO!! How exciting i have a new blog look :) Let me know what you think!! (if you like it better or think i should change it back!)
SOOO.. after i really crap week and only a 300gram loss from last Monday i turned it around with a 2 KGS loss this Monday!! Woohoo!! Alot of people said to me this week'gee your looking heaps thinner!!' and i waslike 'nah only lost 300 grams :(' but i guess i WAS looking thinner :) Yay!!
So i had a totall breakdown over KFC this week, so ridiculous i know :) Im not sure it was entirely over KFC but basically heres the story:
So after a small loss i normally find i eat some crap coz im an idiot, so on Saturday my family was gettin KFC and i was like 'im gonna have KFC and not feel bad about it!' So anyway me n my nephew r driving to get it and im all like beating myself up in my head about it 'you dont need it, you dont even really feellike it, this is going to just take you back to where you were and you only just got back on your feet!' etc etc. so i get there n i order (Lrg zinger works burger combo with sml gravy for me) and while im waiting for the food i thought about what Diminishing on the WW msg boards always says when she is feeling tempted to 'project yourself to weigh in day and how you would feel and do you still want it?' And iknow i felt like crap all week from my prev sml loss so i knew it would only escalate next week.. not to mention it was TTOM so i was HYPER sensitive.. so anyway heres me beating myself up on the way home and i look over and i had askedmy nephew to hold the bag but he didnt & it had spilled out on the floor and my burger was coming unwrapped and i lost it i snapped at him, then i felt really bad coz its not his fault so i spologised he wasnt fazed, anyway i felt REALLY bad then and started to tear up when i got home i said to my sister 'you can have mine ive changed mymine i dont want it' shes like 'why???' and i started to bawl, i felt SOOOOO stupid, it was a combination of TTOM & snapping at my nephew & FINALLY saying NO to KFC even tho it was right there n i had already bought it (the ultimate temptation) so anyway she must have thought i was crazy but i had lean cuisine instead and felt a little better.
Yeah i know i sound like a CRAZY BIATCH but i couldnt help it since ive been losing weight im becoming a major cry baby, thinkin i should maybe see a counsellor so i understand why i react like this over small stuff, i hear its normal tho (fingers crossed!!)
So anyway needless to say i was THRILLED today when i lost 2kgs and i KNEW that saying no to that KFC was soooo worth it :)
Now that your all drooling ill move on, went roller skating again Friday took my neice and nephew and taught my nephew how toskate (i think picking his 36kg body of the grown a million times really worked my arms hehe) i love roller skating its so fun!! For my 10% i was gonna buy some roller skates well guess what?? Im only 400grams away!! So guess it will be soon!! Im really hoping i can hit a normal weightloss next week and not have a tiny one (and def not a gain eek!!) because im a bit worried with the big loss this week. Any tips? I know i know track your points :)
My next goal was 20kgs by my birthday (8th June) so i think thats is totally manageable! Heres wishing me luck!!
This weeks goal is NOOOOO takeaway!!! Thats every weeks goal :)
Thanks for listening :) Hope you dont charge my the word!!
Fliss xx

This will be a quick one coz i should be getting ready for work... opps!! Anyway weekend started out ok went to a friends birthday Friday and only had one drink (yay!) so managed to resist alcohol there, then went swimming saturday and even got up early on Sunday to go to gym and do a barbell class!! Then i spent the rest of Sunday cleaning up the yard etc for Cyclone Larry incase it hit us and lined up for like an hour at the shops to pick up some stuff coz i had like no food... everyone went mad here! Anyway by Sunday night i was soooo buggered i thought screw it im having maccas and i did.. so i guess i didnt quite make my now takeaway for a week (although it was technically a week just not a week form wheni decided my mini goal.. does that count??) Anyway same goals on this week and i WILL achieve it this time. I was especially pissed off when i only lost 300 GRAMS on MOnday how crap is that? So this week im tracking carefully and back into my usual work out routine (it has beendisrupted last 2 weeks because ive been on the late shift at work). Anyway i should go to work now because iw ork for the electricity company and as you could imagine its just a LITTLE busy at the moment :) Hoping everyone is safe and well and heres hoping Cyclone Wati brings some choice rain but not actually hit us! Love yas xx

Happy St Patricks Day!! Well almost :) Thought id check in and let you now how im going so far this week... no take away as yet which is GREAT! I have been finding however that ive been tired alot and STARVING esp at night, and find that i would end up binging by eating way to much for dinner etc. but thanks to the FABULOUS peeps on the WW msg boards ive found my new best friend.. PROTEIN! They suggested i eat more protein and less fruit (i was eating heaps before and it wasnt getting me through to the next meal), so heres how it went:
~Previous Typical Day~ Breakfast: Vegemite toast or fruit smoothie Morning Tea: Fruit (babana or apple or watermelon or grapes) Lunch: Chicken & salad sandwich or frozen meal (eg WW or lean cuisine) Afternoon Tea: Fruit or WW rice crisps Dinner: Numerous things normally protein and vege or some kind SNACK SNACKS SNACKS or 2nd Dinner!! EEk!!
~Todays Meals~ Breakfast: 2 eggs on toast Morning Tea: 3 x WW crispbread with WW cottage cheese and ham Lunch: Frozen Lean Cuisine (Chicken Pasta) & banana Afternoon Tea: WW rice crisps Dinner: Beef stirfry (with veges & rice)
Yummo and you know what?? I wasnt hungry! And stayed exactly in my points (prev i have been going over everyday) and i also found i had way more energy and was more alert! So i guess protein is my new best friend, obviously not over doing it but definitely eating more of it. Im a little concerned about how this will effect my weight so i guess ill have to keep an eye on it. I figure even tho im eating more protein im actually eating less in the long run as it keeps me inside my points?? Anyway we will see..
Other than that my friend Treza and I went for a massive walk the other day, we walked 2kms mostly up STEEP hills, our asses were burning but it was great!! My lungs were burning from all the oxygen but i felt buzzed after, cant wait to do it again! Took us about 30mins so will see if we get faster. Ive been out of my usual exercise routine this week because im on the late shift so wil have to make up with it on the weekend i think. Will be under temptation as going to Trezas birthday party (Happy Birthday Trez!!) so will be working on resisting alcohol and eating crap food... argh will be hard but i can do it!
Well thats it from me, ill let you know how my weigh in goes and if i meet my mini goal of no takeout (so far so good.. tho weekend is nearly here eek!!)
Ciao Lovelies!!!!!
Oh here is the quote i got from WW meeting that is keeping me focused at the moment (i find i give in to temptation because i focus on now instead of the future so heres my new mantra):
"Dont lose sight of what you want most for what you want at the moment!"

Hellloooo... thought i'd give ya'll a run down of whats been happening so far. Had my Monday Meeting and lost 0.7kgs, which originally i was disappointed with then thought back to my past week, i have take away twice plus steak dianne with spaghetti (hugggee meal) and hot chips at roller skating (ill get to that later) so realised its actually pretty good!! So my mini goal this week is NO TAKEAWAY (i.e. bad for you takeaway) which has beenok so far but hey its only been 1 day haha sp fingers crossed! i feel like i really need to achieve this mini goal as proof to myself that i am actually serious about this life change.
I went to a roller disco on Friday SOOOO FUN!!! Serioussly, we used quads (the old 4 wheller thingys) and had an awesome time! Sure we were basically the oldest people there and couldnt skate for $h!t but it was so much fun and before we knew it 2 hours had passed! May i point out the exercise points for roller skating are 2.5 per 10 min block... i halved mine because i wasnt skating very well :)
Ive taken to going swimming on the weekends.. its like i spend my weekends exercising now which is GREAT because im to distracted to go drinking etc. Im working the late shift at work this week (finish at 6.30pm argh) so im finding thats really interupting my usual exercise 'routine' because all my classes start 6 or 6.30. I tried opting for morning ones but even those are quite late. So i think im really going to have to slog it out this weekend. I pre-purchased the Biggest Loser workout of the internet (even tho my credit card bill is HUGE.. losing weight costs a damn lot!! Imagine how rich id be if i had never gotten fat in the first place!) so i cant wait for that to arrive, its not until April tho :( Hopefully it gets more playtime then my other 3 (i have tae bo - hard i get buggered early, hitpants - to complicated i cant move that fast!, and WW pilates/yoga - good but i dont feel exercised.. mind you i havent tried the pilates side yet).
Anyway what else has happened.. hmm.. not alot really. Im flat broke so have been walking home from work(about 20mins) so thats hiking up my exercise :) I also find im taking advantage of incidental exercise like taking the stairs etc. Im really considering getting a pedometer because i work in a call centre and sit down most the day dont get much exercise there, does anyone know the minimum number of steps you should be taking??
Ok well thats it from me!! If anyone has any old roller skate sthey dont want let me know because im keen to take it up was hella fun!!
Ciao lovelys!!!

Woohoo!! Guess what? I lost 1.8kgs this week!! And im back in the game!! Phew, i thought i blew it with the 2 x maccas and 1 x kfc plus alcohol i had last week but worked my butt off in the pool in sunday to try and make up for some of it.. guess it paid off! I definitely feel lik ei have my second wind now, and it's so much easier when i have people to chat to who are the same as me and going through exactly what I am (thanks tracey anne, stellaz and dancingnetty!!). Your comments and support really help me keep on track :) It's kind of like how you know weigh-ins coming up so you want to lose SOMETHING so that you dont feel like a 'fraud' (maybe thats just me!) so knowing i have to 'report' to you guys about my successes and 'not so successes' makes it easier for me to keep on track so BIG THANKYOU TO EVERYONE!! That 1.8kgs takes me back to 11.5kgs lost.. where i was 2 MONTHS AGO!!!!! Im trying to focus more on moving forward then dwelling on that fact i probably could have lost 5 kgs in that time. Then again i had fun taking 'time off'.
Ok onto something else now... noticed the ther day in the supermarket some positive 'changes' i have made into 'habits' for example.. now whenever i go into the supermarket i buy ATLEAST 1 piece of fruit (normally more) prior to WW i hardly EVER ate fruit. Also when buying bread i go for soy and linseed or grain bread instead of white. I also find im comparing 'stats' between brands so i get the best one for my weightloss. How neat is that! And i didnt even notice i was doing it really! Also its been raining so ive had to park further away from work in this highrise carpark and walk up this slight hill to work and i STILL take the stairs at the carpark even when its 6 floors up! So thats only just started this week but i feel so good when i do it :) Ahhh god im great hahaha and modest too!!
One thing i am 'struggling' with is eating 5 serves of veges.. im finding i eat 4-5 services of fruit and only 1 service of veges a day.. any tips?? Obviously switch the fruit for veges but i really hate raw veges (esp carrot sticks they make my guts feel weird..maybe its all the 'nutrients' hehe). Ive thought about baking some veges and taking them kind of like a side sald to work but really havent got that far yet as my kitchen sucks (trust me its discusting even when its clean its so depressing!).
A friend from my old work has been talking to me about WW and thinking of joining which is great.. would be good to have someone in person to talk about it with too.. dont you find your friends almost roll their eyes when youmention weight watchers, points or weight loss?? Well mine do! Cant help it its like the focus of my life at the moment and such a big change for me thats its all i can talk/think about somedays.
A really good friend of mine left on the weekend so im feeling really lonely because my other friends focus more on drinking and things rather than just chilling. It good in a way because im having to be more independant & also getting more sleep (this friend and i were total night owls!!) My phone bill has gone up for sure tho!
So ive taken up the challenge of aiming for a 1kg loss this week keep your fingers crossed!! Its discustingly humid and rainy at the moment making it hard to be motivated for exercise (i never thought id wish the sun to come back out!!).
Well i better go do these dishes and get some sleep yuck.. i hate doing boring things after work i feel like im 'wasting' my day if i dont do something exciting or fun or relaxing.
By the way if you read this and wanna add me to MSN feel free i love chatting to peops! felicity_fergus@hotmail.com
Ok Ciao!!!!!!
P.s. did you notice how much i love using quotation marks hehe

Hello!!! Just thought i'd post these 'virtual models' i made ages ago. It shows 'me' at 140kgs (about what i am now) and at 80kgs (basically goal weight). i did at one time have them stuck up on my wall but my sister tore them down because they were 'embarrissing'... pfft woteva! Embarassing is pretending not to be fat incase 'people notice' when the cold hard truth is THEY ALREADY KNOW!! **unless they are blind and even then the slurping of the supercoke might give it away**
G'night!!!!
P.s. A big hello to my friend Ben who had a squiz at my blog today.. just incase he comes back for another hit because im so damn funni ;P Thats right i said it.
P.p.s. Im just a little tipsy when writing this.. i now i know i shouldnt be drinking (**whoop** **whoop** major calorie alert).. my friend leaves Sunday so we were having goodbye drinks. Last ones i promise!!

Hello!!! Just thought id drop a quick line before i went out :) Thought i was doing fantastic this week, went to water aerobics AND barbell pump aerobics.. but then i had maccas so i kinda wasted all that exercise. Maybe i should give all the maccas my photo to put on their wall with a 'Dont serve this person!' sign hehe.
Im heading out to Crystal Creek today which is this gorgeous waterfall like creek up in this rainforest mountain north of Townsville.. i love it and it's always FREEZING and if youve ever been to Townsville you now how damn hot it is so it's a kickass change!
Ahhh.. feel like im hung over or something today but im not.. not sure why that is.. could be the evil maccas. I should apologise now for any spelling mistakes i make.. my keyboard has no letters on it because they wore off (yeah we use it alot!) so sometimes i hit the wrong key hehe.
Told some of my friends how much i weighed last night, i figured the more people i tell the more i have to confront it mysef and acyually change. We were going through a stack of old photos because we are making a photoboard for our friend who is leaving, and DAMN was i huge!! I hope im a little smaller now. I have posted some more pics for you some from early last year and some from last week :) Yes yes i know im drinking *slap on wrist*
Well this has been quite a boring entry really.. thanks for reading anyway :)
Ciao xx
Ps. thanks to everyone who left me such lovely comments!!! Your all so fabulous i just want to scope u up and give you a big hugola!! But i wont hehe

welcome to my fabulous new blog!! I'm excited because theres nothing i like more than sharing every crazy little thing that pops into my head with the entire world!! I promise i'll try and focus on my weight loss journey, but i am reknown for going off track, which reminds me of this one time when...
So let me fill you in on me so far. Im 21 years old, live in Townsville Qld and work in a call centre, which is fitting because i love to talk and now I get paid to! Ive been overweight since oh.. forever! Well atleast since i was 10. I weighed 98kgs when i finished high school.. and weighed 149.4kgs (just a cheeseburger away from 150kgs!) when i joined weight watchers in June 2005. Why did i join? Well it wasn't because i could barely find any clothes to fit me while shopping, it wasn't because my back seized up when i'd lie flat for longer than 5mins, and it wasnt because i once flattened a chair at a casino in full view of everyone. No it was because i realised that i couldnt wait until i had that 'defining moment' when everything clicks into place and you decide once and for all that you are going to change your lifestyle forever (or so im told thats how the moment goes), i realised i cant wait for that moment because i may not make it!!
I was so tired of not doing things i so desperately wanted to.. like going swimming, or going on rides at the show, or flying away on holidays because i didnt think id fit in the aeroplane chair (to my surprise i did!!). So i joined weight watchers and dragged my little sister with me. She quit, i kept going. And although i slip up (alot!!) and it has taken me this long to lose only 9.7kgs (i did get up to 12.4kgs but put osme back on over xmas/new years.. whoops!!), i've got my second wind now and i am determined not to fall back again.
So what's changed? Well i've replaced daily take away with home cooked meals (well mostly.. otherwise i go somewhere that provides me with healthy takeout), i've just started water aerobics (i love it! my instructor is like jillian off The Biggest Loser... if you slack she'll let you have it shes fantastic!!), and i also do a barbell pump aerobic class (my instructor here is also extremely fabulous!). At the moment im struggling with finding the supprt i need but i just recently started chatting on the Weight Watchers Message Boards and i'm hooked!! Everyones so fantastic and keeps me motivated! So here i am.. hoping to motivate you aswell!!
I'm sure thats enough for one day.. i'll post again soon!! Feel free to leave me comments :)
More pics.....
