Weight loss Challenge

[Katiej]

I think I have that same sweet tooth Dash 

My DH are I are loving our Fitbits, but I've decided we don't deserve to have them!
Last week at the Crows game my DH lost his.  We had to head back to Harvey Norman to buy him a replacement (not a cheap exercise at $119 each). 

Lucky I didn't get angry in the least with him, as this morning I've placed mine into the washing machine.
My DH slept in this morning and when he did get up I was in a hurry to get the sheets of the bed and into the wash.  I decided at the last minute to strip and place the pj's I was wearing into the wash as well.  Of course I forgot my Fitbit was clipped to my pj's 
Amazing little device is still working.  I couldn't believe it as I was sure it would have died.  Best bit is while it was in the washing machine it recorded me as having a very active half hour, including climbing 3 flights of stairs!

Lol Katie, sounds like being we all need a giant washing machine to get into to burn those calories

That is a certainly a good testimony for the Fitbit's durability.

That is funny Katie.

Oh no Katie. Glad it survived. Also to dry it out just incase fill a sandwich bag with rice and put the fitbit in or overnight.

  You've had a couple of funny experiences this weekend Katie and a very busy week in your storage shed.  Enjoy going back to work now for a rest and I'm very surprised your fitbit is still working.  Bet DH had a good laugh.

[Katiej]

Your right Judy it has been a funny weekend (I should stay away from washing machines and clothes dryers!) I need to go back to work tomorrow for a rest and some normality.

I was so upset with myself when I realised it was in the washing machine. There was nothing I could do though except wait for the washing machine cycle to finish. I was so amazed and happy it was still working.

Another reasonably successful day. I managed to mostly stick to good eating and when I did snack it was nuts, fruit and cheese.

One day a a time Dash, your getting back on track.
Yesterday my steps were low as I was in the kitchen cooking most of the day, so I jumped in the exercise bike for 40 minutes
The exercise bike is great as I can exercise inside when I don't get a chance to walk, and it's also great as it doesn't put any strain on my Achilles tendinitis

Hi Ladies

I want to let you in on a little secret I discovered yesterday- for those that are interested in Weight Watchers propoints. I have done w.w. many times, had many successes but like anything, if you don't stay signed up you don't get access to the tools etc and this results in falling off the wagon! Yesterday I discovered an iphone app called "ultimate value diary" which is basically the propoints system- you set up your profile, calculate points etc, it finds them for you on the online database etc. Only a day so far but its going well! You may like to check it out!

Thanks guys, after only losing 200g a week for the last 3 weeks it was nice to have a bigger loss I even weighed myself a few times to make sure the scales we right lol. I have had dessert twice in the week too, and stopped counting calories as I pretty much know what I should be eating in a day.
