    Has anyone had a look at Flylady's web site? Brill for motivation on dealing with house work and clutter. If you can get over the Americanisms.

    Loving the challenges in it, and quite motivated at the momment. Would love to be a domestic goddess but lack the organisation. Working towards it :-)

    Sparkling on !

    Clarabow - I took a look at flylady but found some of the early steps a bit odd... I never wear shoes in the house for one thing and I think she said I had to?!?! Also the washing up is my OH's ONE job and I wasn't going to start shining the sink for him!
    If I'd got further than that what tips have you found useful from it?

    Goal 5 - Overweight - 14st 6lbs.
    Goal 6 - Into the 13's
    Goal 7 - BMI of 27.5 13st 4lbs
    Goal 8 - BMI of 25 12st. ???? NOT SURE OF THIS ONE... MAYBE GET TO 12ST 7LBS AND GOAL 9
    Goal 9 - Feel comfy in a size 14.
    Goal 10 - Maintain Goal 9




    Ultimate Goal - To be able to look down and see my bikini line to shave it, and not have to do it from memory

    Mainly the bits about establising a night time, morning and after work routine. I dip into the bits I like and ignore the rest. The shoe bit is about setting yourself up for the day, making yourself presentable. I dont tend to ear shoes in the house either and I haven's shined my sink. Boy is it a whole lot cleaner though lol

    Taken to doing things in 15 mins bursts, far easier to start to achieve things.

    i've managed to do all my washing today, dry and put it by. Clear the kitchen table, a favorite dumping spot. Started to scrub up the kitchen tiles, a long job but a start was made.

    Totally agree that you have to cherry pick the bits that fit you personally from fly lady !! But yes it does help and inspire !!
    The getting dressed thing does make me smile but it's right, it's all about being motivated. Bothering to do things for yourself and your home. I find at weekends when I spend the morning slobbing around in my Jama's i dont feel motivated to do anything

    I cleard out our veranda today !!

    As a matter of fact, I was walking around in 3 inch heels for a fair bit, to see if I wanted to keep them or not
    My feet have shrunk since I have lost weight, so I was trying on and walking about in quite a few pairs to see if they were comfy . The 3 inch heel ones were , so have been kept

    Great thread. DH and i have both agreed we want to declutter but stuggling to fit it in. We did one big clear out in one room and made 65 quid on ebay - hoping that will motivate me further! Perhaps i need to set some goals rather than just "clean up"!
    2011
    ------

    Atkins (Induction+OWL+Pre-Maintenance), Jan - Dec 2011, Total 30 kg gone
    Started: 112kg BMI 37.5, Achieved: 82kg BMI 27.6
    Jan-March -13.4kg, April-June -6.0kg, July-Sep -6.1kg, Oct-Dec -4.1kg

    2012
    ------

    Jan -1.9 kg (-1.2, -0.2, -1.1, +0.6) hit GOAL - 80kg, 5 stone lost
    Atkins Maintenance
    Feb -1.7 kg (sts, -0.9, -0.8)
    Mar -0.9 kg (0.2, sts, sts, -0.2, -0.3)
    Apr -0.6 kg (+0.6 2 weeks hols & 4 days back, -1.2)
    May -0.6,+0.2,-0.2 kg




    Some targets:
    Reduce waist to hip ratio to 80% - wip but tricky!
    Get into expensive designer clothes (16) - DONE in fact a few things are a bit big
    Have M&S 16s as my "standard" trousers - DONE

    Fitness - latest focus area:
    Do lots and feel fabulous
    Jan 31 hrs 20m, Feb 29hrs 25m, Mar 30hrs Apr 17 hrs 45m
    May target 30 hours
