About my week :

Its been pretty good , got VERY tired last week and needed a total break from everything . I could of so easily gone off CS for those few days but I didn't and I am so pleased about that . I LOVE CS soooo much .

I am now wearing all my daughters hand me downs lol, which is AWESOME . Yesterday I was wearing a size 12 top , it was close fitting and I looked and felt GREAT .

I have done away with vegtables and just having salads and LOVING THEM . 2 weeks ago I lothed salads yuckkkkkk . Now I am totally the opposite thanks to Paul Newmans dressings (mmmm,yummmm).

Not much else to say at this time so i will catch ya all later .

Weigh In #9

300gm loss for me this week . Feeling a bit flat about it really .
I know .......I can hear you now ...... so much better than it could of been Tan lol.
Yep your right , it could of easily been a gain and I should be proud of the fact that I did have a loss.

Anyway , in the 6 weeks I have been on the challenge I have lost 5.8 (not bad I guess ). I have 2 more weeks of the challenge and I am going for GOLD ......... I want to lose 1kg a week ....so better get my ASS into gear and do the very best I can :)

Size 14?????

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am wearing 14ssssssssssss.
My daughter gave me a top she has shrunk out of and I found a pair of 3/4 jeans that she had hanging around :)

Ok , there is a bit of over hang but I don't care I AM WEARING 14SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

It got better !!!!!!!

Hi Everyone , well after a very rough start to this week it is ending to be great :)
After gaining 1.5 after eating 3/4 of a loaf of bread , huge bowl of pasta with cheese, chocolate , 3-4 CS bars , etc etc . I have managed to lose all that plus some in the last 2 days . Weigh in is tomorrow and I would like at least a 500gm loss :)
I haven't had any detox effects from all the carbs either . I did think after eating all that crap I would get headaches etc.
Anyway, I am really really pleased with the out come of this week .

Just want to say sorry to all you girls for putting you all through that goodbye stuff. I really can't see why you all wanted me to stay but thanx for all your support .


So I have 2 weeks left of the challenge and I am going to give it all I got . I would be happy with a 8kg loss its about 6ish , so lets see what I can do in this 2 weeks :)


bye for now

An honest opinion please!!!!

Hi guys, just got home and brought some new walking clothes . Getting a bit warm for walking in jeans lol.

The question is .............would you be seen in these ?

Is it fashionable ?

Will I be laughed at ?

Honest answers PLEASE

Today is a new day !!

OMG , what a rough week I have had . Yesterday it peaked at a pigout . I had been fighting it all week and finally gave in . I could of done so much worse than I did though. I had shake for breakfast , shake for lunch and 2-3 CS bars , had 60gms of nuts for a snack and then had 4 slices of bread with marg and light cream cheese THEN had 5 slices of pizza for dinner . Mind you went walking twice so did 3 hours of walking during the day .

SO Today , is a new day and all is going well . Feeling a bit hungry but going to push on . Drinking heaps of water cause the pizza was really salty . Been for an hours walk and will go for another when the kids get home .I really want to look the best I can for Xmas so this is what is pushing me to keep going and of course all you girls :)
Thanks for the support everyone , it is greatly appreciated .

8 week weigh in

Hi, well its my 8 week weigh in and I lost a whole 200gms .

Really , I am happy with that cause I've had a shit of a week and the scales were sitting on a 100gm gain ALL week .Not really suprised as I had a really good loss last week and I guess the old bod went into shock lol.

I did my measurements too this week and since starting the CS challenge I have lost a total of 27cm in 5 weeks .

My size 16 jeans that fitted a couple of weeks ago are getting BIG , hopefully will do me for a few more weeks with a help from the trusty belt lol.

MMM , what else has happened this week ???? Well, I have started doing crunches for the first time in my life lol. Now thats a shock to the old tum . But I am feeling good doing them .Oh yea, had a miner blowout last night ,but I enjoyed it. Had a sweet chill chicken wrap , would of been mega carbs but could of been sooooooo much worse . Then I finished the day off with a decadence bar mmmmm I LOVE those LOL.

Anyway can't think what else to write so will bbl

Having a better day today

Morning all ,

Well today is gorgeous and I am feeling better than yesterday .But feeling like I can't be bothered posting on the forum . Sorry girls :(, I will try and get my act together :).
Managed to do a #2 last night :) after taking pysillium husks :)and feel much better having done so :)
Been for an 1h15min walk this morning , I am finding I need to extend my walking as I am getting just tooo fast lol. Need to get off my ass and do those crunches too:). Only 750mls of water down today ,need to get going on that too .

Scales finally started moving again this morning , might not get to the kilo I want but any loss is a bonus .
Well, I guess thats about all for now , catch ya real soon :)

Tan's having a bad day

Well as the heading has said . Today has turned out to be a bad day for me .
I am craving carbs . I want a hot chicken foccacia , or subway roll or maccas even .
But my head is fighting me . I don't want to undo what I have done , I want to have another loss this week . I don't want to see those scales say a gain .
But that's not enough to turn me off wanting carbs.
I had an early lunch , had a bar and a couple of suger free lols .
Maybe if I make a decaf coffee that will help .Sometimes I just want to give up and go back to eating real food and go back to WWs .
But I also believe in this program and I know it works .
Grrr, why does it seem to be so hard today ?????
Anyway, thats my thoughts for today .

Anyways back to the weight loss , I must say its the easiest program I have ever come across. I love the shakes and the bars .
And the support on the forum is exceptional .
I would like to say a HUGE thankyou to the girls of the chatroom . You have been my lifeline and I thankyou for helping make a fantastic place to chat , bond , and have a laugh or 2 :)

Tan's CS Journey

Hi ,

A little about myself . My name is Tania aka Tan . I am almost 39 (24/9.1968 ), I am married to a beautiful man (Jason ) for coming up to 14 years . Have 2 beautiful children Gemma (13) and Jesse (12 ).



I have been on many many diets , got to goal through WWs about 10 years ago and put it all back on again . Been trying different diets , shakes , pills , soups, juices etc etc since then .

Went back to WWs but just couldn't get my head in the right space and got real sick of always counting points .



I had just got back from 10 wks in the US when I noticed that we had got priceline while I had been away and there was a new diet . It took a couple of weeks to get the courage to try it (knowing I had been there and done that before ).



Well obviously I ended up getting a couple of sachets to try and WOWWWW YUUUUM :).

So this is where I started :).

First week went really well with a loss of 3kgs BUTTTTTT TTOM hit and I was craving and wasn't strong enough to say no , so I gave the shakes up :(. After a week I tried again , but just couldn't get my head in the right spot . After another week or so , started again and GUESS WHAT? sailed through it :) lost 4.2kgs and felt on top of the world . I really became additcted to the CS Forum and everyone was so encourageing that I felt I finally can do this :) . Second week I sailed through again losing 2.2kgs and feeling AWESOME :) . Third week and a loss of 1.1kgs . although I am happy with that , I am feeling a bit low cause I guess I was expecting a bigger loss .But I do know that a kilo loss is AWESOME and ofcourse I am happy with that :)



OH yea, and I started the CS Challenge this week too :) . So far I have been the only one to register in Burnie :)(makes me feel special ) LOL.





Exercise Wise I have worked up to walking 2 1/2 - 3 hours a day , hoping to extend that as the weight comes off :)



Well thats about it for my first post I will add my before and after pics here :)
