co even if uve been to the restaurant having fatty food, i didnt feel depressed abnd the next day ive worked out for 1hr 30 min.

i think thats wat help me in not gaining weight and losing. even its very little, its a lost, and im proud, coz i didnt feel guilty at all for having food so often at the resataurant,

nevertheless, this week is another week and im not eating out at all. coz i really want to lose 1kg.

my challenge for this coming week is 1kg less. for the water its not really a prob, coz its kindda hot in my country and the work out, weight lifting and cardio makes u thirsty and thus u have to drink

its 10.30 am at my place.

see ya take care,
love ya all:lurk5::auto:
 
Yeah of course :) tell us a little bit about yourself ¨( if u want copy/paste the questions perelle and I answered).

Omg insomnia's freaking killing, havent been able to fall asleep before 6am since friday x_X
 
Oh yes yes, the insomnia is just AWESOME. We just recently relocated, so the stress of moving and the new "everything" has thrown my inner clock for quite the joy ride.

Well, a little about me...

Just two weeks ago, I started walking and jogging. I *should* have weighed myself before I started all of this. I got on the scale on Saturday, and weighed 204.6lbs. I haven't attempted to "really" weight myself since high school. The last time I stepped on a scale, I was always between 150 and 165. Needless to say, I just about fell over when I saw what the scale read a few days ago.

I never understood the term "comfort food" until it happened to me (insert horror music). A number of life factors lead to stress beyond belief and an ulcer that wouldn't quit. I first started eating a bit more here and there to calm the ulcer. It then turned into an excuse to eat whatever, whenever I wanted at any point in time that I felt the least bit stressed. BLAH!!!

I started counting calories just two weeks ago. The daily intake recommended for my target weight is between 1400 and 1700 calories per day. My target is 135 by June 1st, 2010. The first day I recorded my calories, I figured I wouldn't be *that* far off. Well hell...I almost consumed 3500 calories and didn't even realize it. I've cut waaaaay back since, and discovered meals beyond fast food and soda.

That's it in a nutshell...

:) congrats on the weight loss girls i'm so happy for youuuuuu :D!

I've been having a rough few days, I'm kinda depressed for a lot of stuff but I went to the doc and got a prescription for some pills that are supposed to give you more energy and such, hopefully I can get this diet back on track :)
Good luck with the rest of the week, talk to you soon :waving:
 
I binged....for four days!! ugh. Today, I managed to eat somewhat healthy I guess, aside from the Starbucks and cup of ice cream I had after lunch.
 
Just start fresh tomorrow :coolgleamA: Sure, all of us have binged once and again...LOL. It sucks to eat something and KNOW it's no good for you...but you keep on doing it! I'm guilty of that...LOL. Just start over, and set a goal for yourself. It helps!

I am learning to curve my cravings by snacking on healthy tid-bits. I notice that my appetite is not as large as it used to be, and consuming only 1400 calories per day is not as dreadful as I first imagined. Today for dinner, I had a hamburger on the grill, an ear of corn, and a few glasses of water. The hamburger is the closest thing I've come to junk food in about two weeks. I'm still under my calories for the day, so I don't feel too horrible. Just wondering if I messed up by eating it!

If you have a danger food that is a real temptation for you - dont allow it in the house.

I cannot be trusted with cereal in the house - so the only cereal that is allowed in this house is weetabix which is a healthy one which comes in measured biscuits and is allowed in my current food plan.

If my husband wants any other cereal - he has to keep it in the car or at work.

BTW - I freeze fat free yoghurts (72 cal incl protein, fibre, calcium) for a couple of hours and eat that if I am tempted by the notion of ice cream. You can squeeze the plastic pot until the solidity is just right.

Hi everyone:

I'm soon to be 21 yrs old. I am 5 foot 10 and I weigh a whopping 263 lbs. This is the heaviest I have ever been in my entire life and I'm tired of always being the "fat girl". I would like to ultimately lose 100 lbs and hopefully gain some self confidence along the way. With the support of the people on this forum I am hoping to do it. I've tried to lose weight so many times in the past but my friends always say I don't need to lose weight even when I tell them how much I weigh and my family constantly brings home junk food even though I ask them not to. And that is my big weakness, it doesn't matter how many times I try, I cannot go more than a couple days without eating chips and drinking pop. I have zero will power but I need to make this change b/c I want to be a positive role model for my 8 month old daughter. I don't want her to see me eating junk food and than she eats it and lives the same unhappy life that I have.
But thanks to whoever reads this.

Jess
 
Hi Jess,

Take a look at some of the before and after pictures on this forum. That inspired me, and jump-started my weight loss goals. So far, I've dropped 5.4lbs in just over a week. I'm not sure where it's going, but I know that I've been eating healthier, watching my calories and walking/jogging every day.

This is the best place for support from people who really know what you're talking about and where you're coming from. You can do it!!!

~RS
 
Hey girls! How are things going? I've been having a nice day :) (totally lazy with the work out though :p, need to step it up)

Welcome Jess :) I hope that you can find the support you need here. You should keep a food log at , it really helps you keep your calories under control. And damnnn girl you're 5'10"?? That's awesome!! I'm such a shortyyyy, you gotta take advantage of being so tall and combine that with a hot body ;) you'll have every guy totally drooling for ya ;)

*edited to add*
Rabbitttt I overate for four days tooo!! But it was insane I mean I gained like a few pounds and more than a few inches!! I just couldn't stop eating I was sooo emotional and all I did was stuff my face with thousands of calories every day but i'm finally back on track! It doesn't matter if we screw up, this is the rest of our lives we're talking about, it won't be easy, but we'll get better at resisting our cravings and controlling our emotional eating :)

Heyy:

Thanks runningshoes and neveragain for the support!! I don't know what it is though, I know 5 people who have lost 100 lbs in the last yr and even though I'm inspired I still just don't seem to get my ass in gear but I'm definitely going to do it now... Oh that fit day free weight loss journal is great, I already filled it out for today :) This is the first day of the rest of my life lol ;)

P.S. I'm actually kind of short for my family, ha ha my aunt is 6 feet tall.
 
Can I please join in with all of you?

Hi, I am new to this site. I have been encouraged by reading all of the posts here. Do you have room for one more? A little about me....have been fighting my weight for years..after 3 children, now 17, 14 & 10. I always used to say that I loved my youngest so much that I still carry her around with me (as is weight gain from pregnancy) In Aug 2007 I finally hit my limit and I joined LA weightloss, not so much for the program or their supplements, but more for the babysitting. It worked, I lost 90 lbs by March 08. Since then, they have closed all of the Colorado locations and although I was on maintenance, my weight has begun to slowly come back. After a summer of eating everything in sight and not exercising, I have gained 20 lbs. back. I really needed the support and the accountability of checking in with someone on a regular basis. My friend at work has been doing the Biggest Loser club on line, but I just didn't connect with them. So my goal now is to drop the 20lbs and get back to daily exercise. I know I eat for all of the wrong reasons. I can justify anything and once I have "cheated" during any given day, then the rest of the day goes to pot. I need a few successful days to get me started and I know I can get back on track. It isn't fair that others can eat whatever they want without a care and I struggle and beat myself up for overdoing any meal or snack. It makes me angry that I have a food battle. I wish sometimes that I didn't love to cook and bake, but it is what I love to do. I need to get back in control. Thanks for reading. My hope is that we can check in with each other during the week for inspiration and accountability.
