Woo Hoo More Losses

Firstly on the 12th of April I lost 2kg and finally achieved my 10% weight loss goal. I got my beautiful little gold star as seen in the picture. I also got a big round of applause from the incredibly supportive people at my meeting. (And also the wonderful people from the Weight Watchers message boards - Thank you)




In the photo is also my 10 week achievement pin and the special goal keyring I am making. I had a loss of 300gms on the 19th April, so the total so far is 14.5kgs.The next to go on will be the 20kg loss, which is only 5.5kg away.

For a bit of fun I had a bit of a play on www.mvm.com, I entered my start and goal weight details and created a before and after shot for inspiration. Wow, what a difference, that is what I am striving for.





I have also downloaded msn messenger and have been having a lot of fun with some of the Weight Watchers board users. I was even in conversation with Erin on msn while she was at her Dad's place. We have been having such a good time.

It's been a while....

We have had a birthday. Erin turned 13. She had a lovely birthday and we had a lovely cake and balloons. Nana and Granddad came for an afternoon tea party.


These two were in the packet stuck together. It was rather funny blowing the two of them up. It felt really wierd blowing up the second balloon with the first one attached.




I have lost more weight and also last week had a gain so the total as of today is a loss of 12.2kg. I am back on track and feel the problem was not enough water or exercise. I am so close to my 10% goal.Do you love my rainbow. I am chasing my own pot of gold at the end of my own rainbow!



I finally got a job interview. It was with an agency and apparently I made quite an impression and the lady interviewing me said she'd like to put me up for the job. so fingers crossed. I got my neighbour to photograph me in my interview outfit.



I will hear back from the agency about when my interview with the company is. It is for a receptionist position. I felt really good about todays interview.

Loss and Motivation

Wow, this has been a really good week. I had another loss, 1.9kg that takes the total to 11.7kg. I received my 10 week achievement pin, and another star for my bookmark.

I joined Craig Harper's email list and receive his motivational newsletters. I was even lucky enough to receive a personal email in reply to my email to him.

I have been having computer problems so this is a short post. (Even this line has frozen about 5 times)

Hopefully a bigger post next time.

I had a loss...

Today I weighed in at weight watchers and I have lost another 1.3kg. That takes the total now to 9.8kg. Sooo close to 10kg!!

I went to the Stitches and Craft show with my friend, Lisa and her daughter, Leah. Of course the lovely ladies of Audrey and Maude were not there. So sad I missed them. I did meet the lovely Jenny from Amitie though and we had a lovely chat, along with the lovely lady who made gorgeous button jewellery (not too sure of her name though). I sat in on a very amusing framing workshop and then a paper tole workshop. I entered heaps of competitions and joined the Stitches and Craft club. Oh and the CWA tried to recruit us. It was a lovely day.

Love chelles

I spent this morning watching "Mornings with Kerri-Anne" to see my lovely sister Louise and her Audrey and Maude partner Cathy. You two looked really great. I hope you are enjoying the stitches and craft show. Your work is brilliant. Cathy thanks for the comment and I too wish you luck with your weight. You are doing really well. I don't know how much you have to lose but keep up the good work.

The above picture was taken of me by my son Dale on the 11 th of March. I have been trying to do loads of walking, but this awful heatwave has made it a little difficult . Now I know how to add pics I can add more as I take them.

I am still applying for jobs. I have applied for about 20 had 3 no thanks letters, no interviews and I am registered with about 13 sites like seek.com.au and now a couple of agencies. Hopefully things will start happening soon.



Take care everyone till next time...

This is where it all begins

Well, here we go. I have created this blog with no idea of what it is about. I am currently looking for employment after being made redundant at the end of November last year. I am applying for Medical Reception positions, but so far no luck. I am also a member of Weight Watchers. I joined on January 19th this year. I have just completed week 7 and have lost the "grand" sum of 8.5kg. Go Me!!! As time goes by and with any comments I can streamline this blog. I have also been given some fabric by my lovely sister Louise who has her own totally amazing blog- http://lululollylegs.blogspot.com She started a quilt for her daughter, Lucinda and decided to go in another direction. So now it is mine. I haven't done any quilts as yet, but Louise and Mum have done heaps. I post on the Weight Watchers message boards as ellehcim62. This is all a bit jumbled as I get started.
