Dear members of the forum!!!! :D :D


I started writing a thread yesterday and suddenly I received 7 responses. I felt so happy that I finally have people who understand what I’ve been through in this weight loss process.

Since I don’t have support from my husband I will like to share my weight loss journal with this forum. I believe you will understand my process and will support me. It is not that my husband is a bad person but I’ve been trying to deal with my weight problem for the past four years and he does not believe in my self control to do this.

I learned a couple of things from this experience. The first one is that you need support to be successful. Second is that the commercial diets don’t works for me. And third is that self support and commitment is the passport to self well being and discovery. So I decided to start a journal and write every day about my improvements, the food I eat daily, the exercise and fitness activities and the most important thing my feeling toward all of the things that I mentioned before.

Meanwhile I will try to encourage and support other people that are in the same process. So I will start saying that today I going to the Subway weight scale to see how much I weight. I’m afraid that I did not loose a single pound. In the other hand I walk and jog for an hour yesterday. I ate healthy buuuuttt I ate a piece of chocolate. That make me feel guilty but I continued doing exercise to erase that little mistake!!!! I felt so good after I finished my workout. And my 5 year son is so happy to see me happy. I will continue tomorrow with my journal.

Today I feel happy and I will not eat anything that I am not supposed to.

Thank you all for reading me, Chimistar

PD I will post my weight change tomorrow!!!!!!! :rolleyes:
 
great start! you will also need something to keep you motivated over a long period of time and a lot of self discipline! :)
 
You can do it!!

I to have a husband that has watched me baddle my weight for years. I am only 27 and I shouldn't look or feel like this. When I told him I was going to do it this time he just said ya right. Being on the site will really help you along your journey . I know you can do it.

chimistar:)
 
It looks like you are determined to change your life, good for you. I hope we can help and support you on your journey.
 
Hey there Chimistar!

It's me, maew. I just wanted to let you know not to worry about the chocolate. It's okay to have chocolate just don't go overboard and eat a whole pound of it, you know what I mean?

I am in this with you, we can do this!!!!

Second day of my Journal

Hi everyone!!!! Thanks for your messages and for reading my journal. Today I feel pretty good about myself. I can see my progress in terms of keeping the discipline in my eating habits. That is a huge step for me. Today I ate:

Breakfast - 2 boiled eggs
Coffee

Snack I - one banana

Lunch - House Salad and a soup.

Snack II – another banana

Dinner – Salad and a big diet coke!!! I love diet coke!!!

I behave today with food since I ate a chocolate two days before….
I drank lots of water trough the day. I did not weight myself as I planned. I think I will do it tomorrow.

I did not workout today. It is 9pm now and I feel guilty about my workout. I think maybe it is good to rest today and start my day tomorrow with a good workout.

A good thing is that my husband is starting to notice that I’m really doing something about myself and he is been a little bit more supportive. I feel good today!!!! It feels good to see that you are changing and that YOU CAN DO IT!! For me this was really an impossible thing to do. I started on December 23 and I realize that today is January 14 and I’m still working hard it makes me feel proud of my self. Hope I can do it!!!

:D
 
hi chimi. Sounds like you did a great job eating yesterday and its great that your husband is going to support you. That is so important. My husband isnt discouraging me, I am just not sure he believes I am really commited to this. He will soon see that i am! :)

Keep up the good work! BTW I love diet coke too (probably too much - i should quit drinking as many as i do)
 
Mini Goal for Valentine's

Hi everyone!!!!!

Today is my third day writing my weight loss journal. Today I weight myself at Subway. They have a weight scale that registers your weight every time you use it. It is very cool because you can track your progress. I get a little bit confuse since I started with 196.7 and two weeks ago I was on 189 in another scale. Today I weight 190.2. So I will used this number as the initial weight.

I’m using all the things that can help me maintain a discipline and motivation. So far the two best things I found are this website and the Ipod!!!! It does not have to be the most expensive one. I bought the shuffle (the baby one-not expensive) and put all my favorite music in it. This is a great tool because you can walk or run listening to your pump up music and that gives you some power!!! Today I did 30 minutes of light weight training and walk and jog for 35 minutes. It is cool to walk after the weight training because your muscles are hot. I felt so good after I finished. I don’t know why I did not do this before!!!

The next weight will be next Saturday. I will keep on track and work hard this week for at least 2.5 pounds off. I will set a mini goal of 12 pounds off by February 13, just before Valentines!!!!

Well bye, I think I wrote too much!!! Hope I am not boring you!!! Chimistar
 
Just dropped in to say welcome :D , it looks like your doing great so far but giving up the diet coke would help heaps.
 
hey chimi. I had no idea that Subways had scales. Thats pretty neat actually. Would definitely encourage me to skip the potato chips. lol.

How long have you had your Ipod Shuffle? I am thinking of getting one for the family. (the regular Ipods are just too expensive) I need something easy to use though because I am not very good with technical gadgets. Even our remote control can be a challenge for me.

Keep up the good work with exercising! Sounds like your doing great!
 
Confession - I had two beers last night

Hi everyone

Today is a rainy day. It is those day where you want to stay at home and eat all day. Instead I am doing my laundry and doing a photo album in the web so our family in Argentina can see our chritsmas pictures. So far this is my food journal today:

1 grill cheese - orange juice (breakfast)

1 coffee (snack)

1 Healthy Choice Meal (lunch)

It is almost 4pm and I don't feel like doing my excersise routine today. Maybe I will do it anyway but I don't know yet. Yesterday we went to a party with some friends and I had 2 beers :( . I felt guilty after doing my workout and eating well to had those beers. But I did ittttttt!!!!!

Well I will continue this week with my routines. I can't wait to weight me on saturday.

Keep writting me with advise and some hints.

chimistar
 
Hey Chimi!!!

I know what you mean about the Ipod. I got one for christmas and I can not even imagine my workout without it!!!

Don't feel guilty about the beer, this is life. You ONLY had 2 by the way!! Not bad at all from my end. It's okay to have small amounts of stuff. At least you didn't drink a whole 12-pack by yourself :D

Maew
 
Need Support

:confused: Hi!!!

It’s been two days since my last post. I had not exercise since Saturday and I ate 3 chocolate. I feel extremely worried about eating sweets or breaking my workout routine. I will star my workout routine again today when I get home. I will forgive myself for the chocolate and this is what I ate today so far:

Special K with low fat milk and coffee – breakfast

I will have one Healthy Choice for lunch.

I am worried because in the past when I break the diet I keep doing it and it ended always with no weight loss at all. This time I will forgive myself, confess in this forum and stick it to the plan!!! I NEED SUPPORT!!!!

Well I will write tonight my meal dinner and the time I workout today!!

Maew thanks for your reply!!!

chimistar
 
hey hey, don't be so angry at yourself - you are doing good! so, you ate 3 chocolates? now, you are determined to eat something healthy. you are obviously planning to do well and lose weight, so just forget about the chocolate. you ate it, it's gone now!

so, now you think about today, and what you are going to eat, what you have planned for the day, and how much water you're going to be drinking ;)

keep up the good work!

I will keep going

:rolleyes: Thanks Lerato for your reply!!

It is true!! I will forget that event. I will walk and lift weights today. I will keep going !!!

chimistar
 
Hey Chimi!!

Don't let this get you down. It's okay, if you haven't felt like excersing(?) since Saturday, or haven't had the motivation. You just have to start again, that's all. Just don't let this stop your will to lose weight, that's why we are here right?

I agree with lerato, today is a new day and that stuff is in the past. Just do what you need to do to day to stay on your path of weight loss.

Maew
 
I agree with everything Maew and Lerato said. We can't beat ourselves up everytime we stumble, which is something I do as well. But I keep telling myself that if I plan on making this change for the rest of my life, then of course there are going to be times when I don't eat perfect or stick to my excercise perfect. I think the most important thing is to do the best we can, realize we aren't going to be perfect everyday, and never lose our determination! It's quitting that will hurt us way more than a stumble here and there.
