stop putting it off and get your fat arse on the treadmill!

hello this is the first step to changing my life im 22 years i live in the uk I started putting on weight 2-3 years ago i remember when i was slim i was 11 and i had that cute space in between my thighs :D ! sadly those days have long gone :( i have the best boyfriend in the world who loves me im just starting my career as a freelance makeup artist i need to sort out my weight i can feel it creeping up slowly but surely my face is getting plumper my body is looking different in ways i dont like i am currently a uk size 14 but i am on the large size of that i the last time i went shopping i tried on a 14 they couldnt get pass my hips :eek: i refuse to buy items in the next size so due to that i havent been shopping in 6 months!! strange u say but if i allow myself to keep buying clothes in the next size up i will never really feel fat when i know that just isnt the case.
why i have now decided to do something about my weight is i was tidying my room and had actually had to put all the diet pills i i have bought into a seperate bag! i have zantrex never finished the bottle makes me ill, xtralean never opened, xenical all in all i have 8 different types of pills 99% unopened
i know every weight loss trick what pills to take what exercises to do etc i really doubt if anyone could tell me something about my dieting and weight loss that i dont already know!!
I have the tony little machine, the carl lewis ab trainer ,the ab swing yes ladies and gents this truely is a women who has every piece of equiptment to use for when she's ready to lose the weight that should help her lose the weight but lacks the motivation to do so i have exercise dvds as high as my knee most i have never used i realised today how much i truely hate my body it consumes my every thought this is now my time to do something about it! i would appreciate all the words of encouragement as i know i will need it along this new step in life i will take i will be back every week talking about my weight loss and hopefully no weight gain! :D

Totallyscrappy
 
i have completed my first day of excercise and im not going to lie guys it was hard work i really didnt realise how unfit i was skipping really takes it out of you my legs were like jelly i done 15 minutes of this burned 350 calories i also done my weight training,squats,crunches and some light pilates i worked out for an hour feel better for it,its only the first day i already have to resist the temptation of looking on the scales deluding myself into thinking i have lost 14bls in one day!!any how will be back later bye
 
hey guys for all of you who view this page please write a couple of sentences of inspiration!
anyhow today had a bowl of porridge really sets you up for the day i didnt hit my 11 oclock slump so that was all good had a sandwich for lunch didnt feel that hungary
started my excercise at 4.30 went for and hour and 15 very good for me i think when you know u need to lose weight you just have to do it my legs are killing me but hopefully it will be worth it i need to lose 40 pounds by 16th june i have enough time i think!?
its my friends graduation and this is my kick up the arse to do something about it i avoid taking pictures the last time i did my face looked like a blow fish ergh!! if i dont give myself a target i will never do it
i am a 40'' hip
38'' stomach
i weigh 168 which i want to get down to 128 please!!
 
40'' hips!!!Girl how'd you get such small hips.i'm at 164 right now and my hips are like 44" (waist is 32.5'' though) i know 4'' isn't a big diffrence but try finding jeans that fit right! yeay for strech denim.
way to go on the skipping 15 min is alot :D
 
here is a little message for the day
D is for desire what do you really want to acheive
I is for imagine imagine the person you really want to become
E is for expectation you have to expect to acheive your goal
T is for time give yourself plenty of time
 
philomena... i think you may have misunderstood what smiley was saying. I think she was saying that SHE couldn't find jeans that fit right, and that SHE was wearing stretch denim... trying to empathize. maybe it didn't come across right...

Anyways, I think that you are doing great on the exercise. I used to jump rope alot, and I would do about a 25 minute routine where I would jump rope for 3-4 min and then do 25 sit-ups, and then jump rope again for 3-4 min, and then do 25 pushups... that way it didn't get so repetitive and i could catch my breath. There is something called High Intensity Interval Trainining also, where you skip fast for like 15 seconds and then skip slower for 45... it helps you keep your heart rate up without it getting too high.. there are other forums on that, and it might be of help =)

good luck with all that you are doing.... if you are doing anything special with the food you eat, try to post that too. I have found that to be extremely helpful - as it's what goes into our body that creates the need for us to get rid of it =)
 
Oh Philomena, I wasn't trying to be rude and i'm very sorry it came across the wrong way.Amono is right i was just pointing out my down falls(being my big bottom)and in no way was i trying to say that your measurements are in anyway,shape,or form wrong in anyway.and i wasn't pointing out you needed new jeans, i'm sure you know what kinds of jeans are right for you, i was just pointing out the denim thing about me.
I'm truly sorry if i offended you in anyway. It's not at all was i was trying to do. never would i make fun of anyone who is trying to loose weight it's just not the type of person i am.
next time i make a post anywhere i will try and remember to phrase it so no one could be hurt by my words.(which is clearly not what i intended)
again i'm sorry.and i hope you can forgive me.
You are doing great work :) and i really do mean it when i said that you are doing great with the skipping.
 
ok i misunderstood i am from the uk and people over here are very scarcastic so i think im just used to people always having something to say anyhow i apologise smiley thanks for the encouragement hope i havent frightened you off from posting your views on here in the future
 
hello today i went to a person trainer at the local gym i told him about how much weight i wanted to lose and he said that i have quite a high metabolism so i should aim to lose 5 pounds a WEEK! i was quite shocked really but he seemed to really think that if i raised my cardio then i could do it what do you guys out there think im quite unsure to be honest
 
You didnt frighten me off (well maybe a little lol)glad we resolved the missunderstanding :)
As for the 5lbs a week thats my average so far( i've only been at this for 2 weeks so i don't expect it to continue)But if you have a personal trainer guiding you it might be possible to do especially at first. you should go to one of those sites that calculates the calories you need in a day that might help w/ the eating side of your weight loss, unless your personnal trainer has recomended a eating plan:)
hope this helps/glad we can be friends now :D
 
thanks i only went to the trainer just to see if i could actually lose 5lbs a week but now i know its possible i guess i have nothing to stop me i have been taking these hoodia gordini tablets and they work so well this morning i had my usual porridge but added some bananas and i felt so stuffed it was unreal those tablets really work terri hatcher takes them but rest assured i do not want to look like her way to thin :eek: i want to keep my curves but just slim down a bit if anyone is intrested in the website

hello guys i have lost 5 pounds this week this is my aim for they next two months that way i will be able to lose 40bls surprising i found it reasonably easy the trainer i saw did say that with the 3-4 cardio i will drop it quite quickly but it has only been the first week
i only eat twice a day now breakfast and a big dinner the tablets are really keeping my mind of the temption of not to boredom eat i have a bowl of porridge for breakfast and meat and lots of veg for dinner
 
today i had my porridge as usual for dinner i had two chicken legs in bread crumbs, huge portion of mixed salad and an english musturd dressing.
i worked on my glider 4 miles in 45 mins lost 500 calories i found this relatively easy should i do 5 session of this a week or go for longer and do it less times a week if anyone can help ill be your friend for life:)
 
I would recommend working out for 45min 3x a week, OR 30 min 5x a week.... i'm doing the 30 min one... either way, you get about the same amount of cardio in... it just depends on what you have time to do.
 
thanks i have all the time in the world gor the next two months i work freelance so i can really do as much excercise as i want there is no excuse i just wasnt sure if i should be pushing my self harder
