Weigh in Wednesday take 6!!

Hello everyone!!
Yes its been 6 weeks already since the start of the scrappers 5kg challenge.
I have been plodding along and losing the last of my excess kilos that had accumulated after having 3 gorgeous children. I have been trying really hard to shed those kgs and literally working my butt off!
This week has been no different, except that my family and I traveled back down south for a flying visit and a 80th birthday party over this last weekend. I love my family very much. But by jingies my family can cook and subsequently eat!! Knowing this and knowing that I was down to my last 800grs I seriously doubted that I would reach my goal, but also I thought that I had a good chance of  crossing back into QLD slightly heavier than when I went out! LOL!!
Well I tried really hard to be good and I really was controlled but unfortunately I crossed the boarder back up north 100gr heaver. I was quite happy with that actually!! I think I got off lightly!! (lightly - get it hahaha! I so crack myself up!)
So I have exercised really hard and pushed my self harder than usual and ended up at 55.1kgs as of this morning, giving me a total weigh loss from the start of the of the challenge 4.4kgs and 600grs to go!!!!!!
So People this is the week, I AM going to do it this week! But by the way I felt really good to have all my family say how great I looked! My had work and sacrifice (food wise!!) has paid off! I know that to some of you 4.4kgs is not a great weight loss but I started off at under 60kgs so it is nearly 10% of my body weight!! I feel proud of my achievement so far!!

Here is a typical photo of my family - my grandparents, all their grandchildren and their 4 great grand children, I love this pic coz it is so very real!! hahaha!
Well till next time peeps!
Luv Renee

You have done well Renee, it's great that you didn't get disheartened when you were 100gms up, I know some times it sends me off the rails LOL, but good on you for working hard to get it off again!!

i Know where you are coming from it is hard work and you do feel proud of what weight you loose. i know i've been there 2 years ago i weighed 82KG YES THAT IS 82KG i lost 24KG yes that is 24KG it is hard and painfull at times but you soon get used to the food that you eat...
I 6 weeks ago stopped smoking and have now put on 6 kg that is 1kg a week and it is killing me... BOOOO HHHHOOOOOO.. but my will power is BACK and i will and am determind to loose that 6 kilos. i know how hard it is too loose so no more weight gain for me... So all i can say is you go girlfriend!!!!
have a great week..
TONI
