Cos we are living...

in a material world.. and I am an 80s GIRL!!

89.7kg to be exact!!!

Weigh In Saturday : )

And YES I DID go!!!!
LMAO.
Good thing I did too.
I am now 90.3kg...
So close to those 80s I am SWEATING!!! lol
That brings me to a total of 16.6kg lost.
Yay!
Not so bored today :)
Am babysitting later.
Need to save up some dosh. Mum is using her Frequent Flyer points to send me to England to visit my sister. (HI LOZ!!)
Woo hoo!! Me, who has never been overseas (well... not really... went to Fiji when I was 13, and was on a cruise ship for my honeymoon... trust me... that DEFINITELY doesnt count...lol)
I want to see Scotland and Ireland while I am there, and so need some money so I can survive...
Cant wait!!!!! Woo hoo again!!

My house and me.

Told you I was bored.

So this is my backyard, the view from my backyard, my dogs and me. Inside. With no makeup (ugh) and my glasses on.

Jack sitting on the chair, barking at me, Roxy trying to get into the pic : )

Roxy the poser getting in the pic... "look at me, look at me"

ARGH!

God I am so bored.

Hmmm. I didnt weigh in on Saturday. Not sure why. I dont know what is going on in my head at the moment. Feeling REALLY relaxed... TOO relaxed in fact. Not really paying attention to ANYTHING... Need to focus and start tracking and exercising... Am hoping its just PMS...
I don't feel very well either.
My head feels like it is going to float off into space, and I am sooo nasaeous, I know that is not spelt right and don't care!!! SEEE!!! Since when did I give up on SPELLING!!!! Something is seriously wrong with my headspace!!!

U2 LIVE!!!

UN-FRICKN-BELIEVABLE!!!
What more do I need to say!!
AWESOME!
Can't believe it's over!! :(
Gee Bono has gotten even MORE preachy in his old age tho.... lol

"OH, you, look, so, beautiful...tonight"
Sorry, got song lyrics running through my head now....
Didn't weigh in yesterday. Was tired, not really a valid excuse. I wasn't scared of it, I think I probably gained... but I just couldnt be bothered going.
Well, I figure I have been religiously for 6 months or so... I just needed a Saturday to myself...

My older godsons birthday.

It was my godson, Camerons', 3rd birthday on Wednesday, and so today I joined his mum and dad and their immediate family for a bbq! :)

He was ssoooo cute, it's his first birthday that he has really KNOWN it was "his birday"

"My birday cake" he said!! And he served it..

Uncle Andrew thought it would be fun to get Cam to do wheelies in his "Toot Toot Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car" (And yes, the car is a green colour.... and Cam DOES know his colours, but for some reason...he is ADAMANT that this is a "Big Red Car" lol

He was happy... lol

A happy family shot.

Brett, Kate and Cameron : )

My night out.

Had a REALLY good night, it was great to see my friends after so long, I really miss them : (

Kriso has been travelling around Australia, and so I REALLY don't see her often at all.

Anyway, I will be going to see her all dressed up,at her mums house next week, for her big sisters wedding.

Can't wait. She is such a beautiful soul. I love her to bits. Miss you Kriso.

MWAH!

I try to see Loz more often, but she is always busy. At least she is in Sydney tho!! lol

My darling friend Kriso.

My gorgeous friend little Loz

Both the girls together. Awwww.

They're so purty. : )

90.9kg. Woo Hoo.

Broke the 91kg barrier. Now I just have to keep it off!!

New photos to upload.

Am going out tonight with some girlfriends that I havent seen for around a year.

Hmmm.. wonder if they will notice the weight loss!! Fingers crossed.

Did my hair in my "old style" today, the way I used to do it when it was long!!

It was alot easier twisting the strands when they are only 2 inches!!! hehehe

LOOK!! CLOSER!!!!!!!!

C O L L A R B O N E S!!!! WOOOOOOHHOOO!!

How red is my hair now!!! I did it myself today....

Before and After

Before at 107kg. After at 91kg.

I should mention for those who havent been here before, that I shaved my head for L.Foundation in May : )

Hence the WAY shorter hair! hehehe

More Pics : )

Note: My sister standing next to Maddy, and my little bro with his head bowed in the background : )

My Gorgeous Sister

Some pics of my maid of honour.

My gorgeous sister Lauren (see what I have had to live with all my life!!! lol)

With me (top) and with my little flower girl Maddy (bottom)

Weigh In Saturday : )

Well.
Surprised today. I lost .4kg, even tho I am TTOM.
GOOD surprise!! lol
No Count seems to be doing the trick!! Even tho last week I ate so much (I did stick to ONLY No Count foods tho...) I STILL LOST!!!
Might have to stick with No Count for another week, and see if it pays off in the long run!!
Anyway, had another nice compliment today. My best friend told me that I was looking alot like my sister Lauren now.
For those who know her, they will know it is an AWESOME compliment, for those who don't, I will find a pic of my sis and post it. You will then understand my being so chuffed! lol

My husband is still really sick, which is bringing me down, and is also leaving us both housebound, as I am too nervous/ embaressed to go outside by myself (stigma of a fat person, and the awful comments and ridicule I have been subjected too...) and so I have not been exercising.
Hopefully my best friend Kath and I will be able to change that tho, and walk together.
Kath is also doing WW, and when we both reach goal, we can enter the slimmer of the year "friends" category!!!!

My Wedding!!

My husband!!

My bestest friend in the whole world!

My first mid week!! - Not a happy one : (

well, ok... so its kinda the end of the week almost.. but it has been one HECK of a week.
So. My husbands name is Glen. He has Chrones disease and Colitis. Both are destructive bowel diseases, which would probably eventually lead to him having several operations, which remove chunks of the bowel, which are the most diseased and the most "unuseful", ie unusable!!
Eventually leaving no small or large intestine, and a lovely bag on the outside.
Sooo... about 5 yrs ago we hear about this revolutionary doctor, who is undertaking great new research on gastro intestinal diseases, and who could "technically" "cure" these diseases...
Glen of course started seeing Dr Borody, and has had fantastic results, (albeit VERY expensive ones, which have left us with NO money or savings... but all worth it in the long run if it worked) we have been leading a "normal" life, which was previously not one of our relationship strong points, as Glen would often lose control of his bowel motions and we would have to rush home, leading to less and less outings...
Anyway, the short story is that the eventual outcome was a "procedure" that was to take place over 2 weeks, which would cure the diseases...
So here we are, five yrs later at the "procedure"...
with an 85% chance of success, costing us $3000 out of pocket in one hit, and alot of stress and heartache if it doesnt work...
Glen is on the last 2 days of the procedure today.
He has been VERY VERY ill... back to unable to go anywhere, and taking a change of clothing to his daily hospital visits for his daily rectal exam, and internal exam, and having things STUFFED into his body, very painfully from the anus EVERY DAY for the last 12 days....
This morning he started bleeding... BADLY bleeding....
I am taking tomorrow off to stay with him, and I am NOT optomistic of the results... and am feeling like I am going to have a nervous breakdown.
We have put off having children for the last 5 yrs, due to the fact that the drugs he was on rendered him sterile....
and it may have all been for nothing...
All that time and money... and we could be looking at the same thing we were looking at five yrs ago...
I tell you...
I am feeling VERY down, and it is becoming glaringly obvious that this could have been for nothing.

Weigh In Saturday : )

oh oh.
I put on....
.8kg.
Which puts me at 91.8kg... damn...
I am starting No Count this week... just to try it and see how i go...
I am not sure if I am PMS or not... that sounds dumb, but I am about 2-3 days before I am due, and I am not sure WHEN it is exactly that you retain weight that shows on the scales...
Anyhow, it doesnt matter, cos I was DREADFUL this week... so back on the band wagon today, I am determined to get into the 80s this month... : )
I sent my blog to my good friend Kallyla this month, and forgot I had posted pics of my boobies in my new 16DD push up bra (YAY to me for getting to this size!!)
And she opened in front of her hubby (Sorry Francisco!!!!!)
anyhoo... that post is now deleted for health and safety reasons!!! (and cos I was MORTIFIED when I found out... lmao)
Soooo... the other coment that was made was, where are the photos of friends and family?? where are the stories about your family and life??? (It is a BLOG after all!!!)
SOOOO for the benefit of all others, I will be contributing a mid week entry from now on, not just a weigh in entry, with some photos of my husband, my wedding, my friends, my dogs.... etc etc etc...
Look out for the mid week post peoples!!!
It will rock your world!!
(ok, so maybe not ROCK... it might sway it a little tho....)

Bizarre, but funny...

My next door neighbour said to my husband yesterday afternoon "so, you have a new girlfriend!"
Hubby "um, no... I have been married for two and a half years..."
Neighbour "oh..." (looking very confused...)
Hubby "she has lost weight tho..."
lmfao...I couldnt have been happier!!!!
I know I have changed my hair as well... but, gees... lol

Glen WISHES!!!! lmao

Good Day : )

Had an awesome day today... went to Paddys and spent the day walking thru with hubby and mum.
Was fun!!
But the best part was walking to the factory outlets they have upstairs... and walking in... and seeing clothes that I liked... and thinking... hmmm... size 16... WHY NOT try some on... just to see how close I am...
And fitting into EVERY . LAST . SIXTEEN . IN . EVERY . LAST . SHOP.
Pleased as punch.
Weighed in at 91.4kg yesterday.

HI HI HI!!!

Well...
For some time now, (ok ok ... just since I started WW) I have had "mini goals"
I wrote down my latest mini goals 2 weeks ago... and UNBELIEVABLY today, when I weighed in, I PASSED THREE, out of my four, mini goals!!!

1. to lose 10kg!! - DONE
2. To reach my 10% (10.7kg) - DONE!
3. To weigh UNDER 95kg!!!! (11.9kg) - DONE!!!!!!

Can you believe it????
I am sooo stoked!!!
I lost 3.2kg in two weeks!!
Cut down my sugar points to only 14pts a week (what I was supposed to be doing... hehe)
AND walked during my lunch break for 10-15 min... thats all I did to turn WW on its head, and have maximum loss!!!
I know it will prob plateau again next week... but I was just soooo happy at my meeting this morning that I started crying!!! lol.

My goal.

To be THERE!!
There at skinny.
There at the beach in Summer!!
I am going to be where ever I WANT to be!!!!

Weigh In Saturday : )

Well...

Weighed in at 97.3kg!
Hooray Hooray!
Getting Soooo much closer to my mini goals now!!
Mini Goals
1. Reach 10kg lost - 96.9kg
2. Reach 10% - 96.2kg
3. Reach 95kg!!
4. Reach 89kg!

At mini goal number 4... Kellie is going out and buying a new outfit!!!
LOL.

Also have a pic of my hair... it is getting much 'longer' now (in comparison to all shaved off that is... LMFAO)
I will try to scan a photo of my hair when it was newly shaved into the computer, as I only have it on film, not digital, and several people have commented that I never posted the pics.. (oops... my bad!)

ok.... maybe I WON'T show photos... lol
Blogger is experiencing technical difficulties... next time maybe??

HOORAY!!

Weighed in today at 97.9kg!
Thats a 1.2kg weight loss this week.
I can feel that this is going to be a GREAT summer!!!! lol
I am so proud of myself and my BF Kath.
(She lost 1.5kg BTW!!!)
We are so motivated, and so REAL about a change of lifestyle this time.
I feel like my life is changing, and I am bacoming a healthier and more ENJOYABLE me every week!!

It is my godsons 1st birthday in 2 weeks!!! GOD, that time has FLOWN!
I can't believe it... it was only yesterday that I was SPEECHLESS at Kath being PG... and now Zac is ONE!!
Check out my gorgeous boy...

Back to basics

Well!!
Long time no post!
I went back to WW after a LONG time not being there today, and weighed in at 99.1kg!!!
Woo Hoo!!
I am soooo stoked, that after 3 months I have somehow managed to maintain the weight!!
Which means that when I finally get to my goal, I am going to be able to maintain it!!!!
I just know it!!
It was such a MASSIVE confidence boost to get on those scales and for them to show a weight slightly lower then the weight I was previously.
I am actually starting to believe that this time I might ACTUALLY do it!!
I might ACTUALLY, FACTUALLY, REALISTICALLY get there!!!
and for once, I truely dont care how long it takes, I just feel so unbelievable that I am going to get there.
It is POSSIBLE!!!
In fact I'm already there!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like jumping and screaming it to the world!!
I AM THIN!!!
I am already on my way!!!!!!!

DOUBLE DIGITS!!!

Need I say more???
99.7kg!!
Finally back in the "under 100 club!!"
I am sooo stoked I can't even express it!!!
Gonna go celebrate with a new pair of boots!!!

I am falling off the wagon...

TIME TO GET BACK ON!!!
New week, new start, but always the same life....
I will beat this weight this time...
I started to fill in the biggest loser forms, and then thought... why bother???
It starts in November, and I will be THIN by then!!!!!

Where is my head?

ok.
So its EASTER!!!
Not a big chocolate fanatic... but it is UNHEALTHY and FATTENING and a BIG POINT scorer...
So I WANT it...
I had a little... but I want to eat the entire contents on the COLES easter egg aisle...
So bloody hard, my mind is like a giant mine field....
I lost 200gr last week only... mind you, I wasnt exactly a model WW patient...
this week I am not weighing in, as WW in my area is shut for Easter Saturday, and next week when I do, I will be PMSing...
could be a recipe for disaster..
Today I am going to my BF house, and am having a BBQ and an easter egg hunt...
Grant me the strength...
I need to get on that bloody cross trainer too!!!!!!
So lazy...
It will all be worth it in one year from now...

OH OH, No excuses now...

Mum lent me her cardio cross trainer last night.
It is sitting in my lounge room watching television.

Weigh in!

Well!
After all my stressing, I lost another 2.2kg!
Which brings my total to 5.2kg!

Start Weight - 106.9
Current Weight - 101.7
Goal Weight - 69.9

They had no bookmarks this week, so next week I get one, and then I will take a photo and post a pic!!
So HAPPY!!
Have to find a picture of something that weighs 5 kg to get the full benefit!
Double Digits here I come!!!!!

OOOOOOOO!!! Points recipes @ Points Cafe!!

Found a blogspot with the BEST points recipes!!!
http://www.thepointscafe.blogspot.com/
AWESOME!

Ho Hum...

I want this so badly, yet I seem to be wanting to eat ALL the time!
I want KFC (which on a "normal" day, I wouldn't blink at!!!), chocolate, icecream, ANYTHING that my mind tells me I can't have!!
I dont want to think like this!!
I want everything to be accessible, I CAN eat WHATEVER I want...
but do I REALLY want it????!!!
If I REALLY want it, then have it in moderation!!!
Why do I need to buy a WHOLE chocolate cake and eat it???
It is soooo frustrating that I just want to cry!!
It was TTOM last week, and I skipped my weigh in, I feel like it was the wrong thing to do, but I dont think I could have coped with a gain that week.
Tomorrow is weigh in again, and mentally... I just dont think I am ready.....
I dont feel strong enough to do this... and I dont know how to make myself strong!!
I want to be strong!
I want to have goals!
I WANT to be thinner by May 5th!!
I am shaving my head, and the fatter I am, the worse it will look!!!!!!
*crys*
Why can't life be easy..

Shaving my head!!

I am shaving my head
Would love sponsorship from everyone who is able Go to www.worldsgreatestshave.com

Hopefully that will pick up once I start exercising!
hehehe

Weight Loss to Date.

Ok.
So I've had two weigh ins so far.
Last week was a disaster, I didnt stick to points at all...
I only lost 100grams... at least I lost tho!!
Week 1 - I lost 2.4 kg!!!
So in total I have 2.5 kg NOT under my belt...
YAY!
Today is my husbands birthday...
So I am cooking him a big T-Bone for dinner... mmmmm
Must be worth about 9 points...
I might have to go for a 50 km run.....
LOL.

Fat Red Kittens

Where did my title come from??
Well...
I am a fat girl.
I am a natural red head.... often changing from dark red/ Purple to a light strawberry blonde/foils...
See my NATURAL hair colour above in the close up of me, about 20kgs lighter.... and at my wedding, before I started dyeing it, about 10kg lighter....
It's quite dark at the moment... and this morning, cos hubby and I are short on funds... I decided to do the dye job myself (first ever attempt....)
I will let others be the judge of my job and the colour...
Rather Dark Ruby red....
I will post a pick asap.

Day One

Really, this shouldnt be that hard....
It's only day one.
So why do last nights tacos look like a REALLY healthy breakfast right about now...
I cant find my points books... ARRRR
I cant do this without the books, my mind has gone into overload before I have even begun??
Anyhoo...
I am already going to a bbq today for my sister in laws birthday.
Bringing my own meat sounds wise....
I have chronic heartburn!!!
It is killing me today (YES, I know, I know... I ate TACOS last night.... I am an idiot... so kick me...)
I am going to enjoy this blogspot...
it may only be written in once a month.... or once a week... but I am going to record my "see ya later to fat"
Cant wait to be able to do "before and after" shots!

These are my babies.
My Staffordshire Bull terriers.
Roxy - 1yr and Jack - 3 yr.
A good motivation to lose weight dont you think?
I want to walk them at least three times a week, and the moment they are lucky to get three times a year.
I always have excuses.
The poor buggers....

Times they are a changing

Hmmm.
Well, today, I, Kellie, decided to take the plunge, after 28 years of being overweight... by a little... or alot...ever changing with every new diet plot, and joined Weight Watchers.
CW - 106.9kg
GW - Anything under 70kg....
Do the maths and you'll realise thats a hell of alot of weeks, a hell of alot of weight, and a whole new reason to CREATE A BLOG!!!
Thus, Fat Red Kittens is born... and a new me will emerge!
Follow me on my journey... or don't.
Come and tell me what a fat ugly chick I am... it's ok... I do have a mirror... I am not F&#$%n blind...
Public humilation is the new trend I hear...
Check it out.
I will be 70kgs by my 30th birthday on 31st January 2008.
Should I do the picture thing?
YES YES YES!!
Otherwise what is the point.
Tomorrow is a new start to my life.
A new corner.
Blog with me.
