10 Kg to go! - I can do it!

Fact that you left for so long and still maintained your weight well and even lost 1 kg means you're a strong person ! Keep up the good work !
 
Welcome back little star. I've said it before, but you haven't failed at something until you've stopped trying. Of course I also say I have the best hair on these boards, so maybe my judgment is a little suspect.

Anyhow, welcome back and good luck!
 
@Bunny Bent: Ohhh, Thank you! It made my day hearing I am a strong person. This is basically what I am trying to achieve right now. I don't want only to shape my body, but I want to be a strong person.
Yes, on the forum I came back with -1 kg, but that is the result of about 4 weeks of exercise because 4 weeks ago I was actually 65, so +2 compared to when I stopped writing here.
But it doesn't matter at the end. I am back on track stronger than before.

@MrVee: Thank you!! It's nice to hear that and your words keep me going an other day!!

Hi guys.
Today I reached the 61. Last time I remember I was 61 was about 6 years ago... That is SO damn long! I am particularly satisfied because yesterday I ate in a balanced way, even with rice. :)

So, I have decided to "celebrate", showing you a picture of me: View attachment 21271
That is from May, and I believe I weighted 65 kg around that time. It is one of the few full body pictures I did not delate from the pc. And it is hard for me to show you. I have always been on the border line between normal weight and overweight. All the weight basically collects all around the belly and on my back, it's horrible. People actually think I weight so much more than what I actually do. When I say my real weight I get THE LOOK. People think I lie on my weight because they look at my belly and think that cannot be nowhere close 65. I hate my belly. And also my back!
But I am changing it, so it's ok! :) Soon it will be gone.

Ohhh, that's so sweet. I really appriciated your words.
Actually the thing is that I LIKE my body. I like it and this is why I struggled so much to lose weight in the past. I am not proud of it, but I always thought it is not that bad. Also when I was 69. And this postponed "the change".
I have always wanted to lose weight, not because I hated my body (even if sometimes I have said so), but because I know that if I would lose weight I would look much much better.

Now things are changed. I still LIKE my body, but I want it to be STRONGER and FITTER.
The weight is just the easiest way to check my progress, but I don't really care of the number on the scale.
At some point I read a blog of a girl that weighted 61 Kg and she looked nice. Then she joined the gym and started serious work out, she gained 5 kg, but she looks fitter than ever. That is one my main inspirations. :)

But now to business:

Weight: 61.4
Breakfast: Tea (with milk) + a small bowl of porridge with half an apple[150 kcal]
Snack:
Lunch:
Snack:
Dinner:

Hi little_star! That's what I am like about my body too, sometimes I do get quite stressed though.
Good Luck with your weight loss and seeing how determined you are I am sure you can do it x
 
thank you for your comments :D
At the moment I am at my in-laws and honestly i was pretty nervous. my mother in-law is a fantastic backer and she makes incredible pan cakes. there is always some great sweet laying around in the kitchen and i was worried i could not resist. but so far i have been string! the family had icecream and i politely refused and i did not hit the coockies on the counter. i have been strong! i even weighted myself and the scale showed between 60 and 61. it s the old kind, not the digital one. honestly i dont think it is really accurate, but it would be a nice surprice if i am 60 something. i am planning now to have a great breakfast with watermelon and 1banana as opposite of the pan cakes i usually have when we cone visiting.
sorry for errors, i am writing by phone. ;D
 
Ahhh....stronger and fitter...that is a great goal! If you can keep focused on that goal, the weight will be a nice by-product of that goal!
Congrats on staying strong at your inlaws! Those sweets may taste good in the short term, but they are not healthy...so stay focused on your stronger and healthier goals and watch the scale move...slowly, but it will move!

That is true! And I am so proud I "survived" to the visit without a single bite of anything sweet.
Actuallly my mother inlaw the night we stayed baked only for us a fab rasberry cake. Damn, I love raspberries and her raspberry cakes... ohhh, they are incredible. They are abslutely my favourite! When I saw the cake on the breakfast table I was SO damn tempted. I took a deep breath I said myself I could do it :) I took an extra portion of fruit. Had actually 2 bananas and what I think was HALF a kilo of watermalon. I said myself, better an extra of fruit than the cake. When I finished my fruit I was SO full I was not thinking of the cake anymore. My husband had 3 slices of cake :p What a little pig. hehe!
On the weird fact there is that I did not want to tell I was on diet to anyone. Luckily when we are at their place we get to make our own food and have space to eat on our own. We spend family time in other ways, going to walks or watching tv. I know, it may sound a bit weird. When my motherinlaw asked how the cake was I lied :( I said it was delicious, as always.
I think I am imbarassed by the idea of eating ealthier, in case I fail. Is it weird? I feel so bad when I lie to people... Do you do that too?

Oh, by the way, when we came back yesterday I had the most incredible snack ever. I made sandwiches with avogado in stead of butter, boiled eggs, tomato and mashrooms. They were great!

And today my weight was still 61.4. I think it has something to do with the late snack yesterday. But I am happy at least the scale did not show a bigger number.

I absolutely love watermelon, I can eat so much haha :) Once the watermelon I bought wasn't very nice and it was quite small too so I gave it to my dog and let's just say she needed to go "outside" three times more than usual :) But you did really well with the cakes. I know I couldn't have done that :)
 
Ohh, Thank you CloudMuffin.
I think my dog would leave the watermalon, but I never tried to give it to her (the watermalon is ALL for me, muahahaha). But she goes crazy for apples. I literally cannot eat an apple in peace because she comes to beg for some... :p I know, she is crazy!

The weight today is still 61.4 Kgr. I did have a small breakfast and snack, but I think I exciteed a bit on the pasta. So I am superfull now. On the top of that I drunk a 1.5 l of water to help the digestion. And probably I am not going to have anything else today. Maybe only some small fruit in the evening after the run.

I have been thinking about starting an healthy recipes blog. I already have a blog where I basically talk about travels and home decors, but I was thinking if I should add an other "label". Usually I get lost in the pinterest healthy recipes and when I want to try something new I spend a lot of time going through what already exicts. Then after some time I would want to have again some of the dishes I already tried and forgot where in the cyberspace the recipe was. I know it doesn't make any sense. But a blog could work as a container of things I try out and enjoyed so much to "store" them and share. On the same way it would keep me motivated to keep going since I have readers.
Maybe I will think about it a bit more. Let's see.
 
Today I am still 61.4. The third day in row. I will try my best to see some change on the scale tomorrow.
About other things... today I really need to focus on my research!! I CAN DO THIS!

61.4

Breakast: Oatmeal, skinny milk and berries (250 kcal)
Lunch: Brown bread, banana, berries (350 kcal)
SnacK: Apple

You CAN do this :)!!! For me usually when I exercise and eat right it takes about 5-7 days to see a change on the scale so don't worry too much.
My dog loves apples too, and carrots, basically anything. She's my little piggy :)
 
Oh, thank you Cloudy!!
I always say that the number on the scale does not matter very much for me. I could even stay 61, but I want to have a FIT and strong body.. without fat on my belly area and on my back. But the scale is unfortunatly the quickest and easiest way to see the progress on your body. So THAT number is so damn tricky!!

Ahahaha, my dog is a piggy too... we call her "Bouncing dog" because she loves to "bouce" (aka jump all around). :p She is totally crazy!! Like her mummy after all heheh

Today I am a bit upset because the site where I usually check how long I ran is down and just today I did run through a different route. Now I am not sure how long exactly I ran. jlfjlvjdlfvf I can guess I ran between 4 or 5 km.

An other reason why I am a bit "down" is because I tried an old jeans I have, the last time I wore it was about a year ago. It's the kind with the high waist. Last year It fitted nicely around my butt, it gave it a bit of shape, but it would also make an horrible muffin-top. I just hate those... Well, I tried it now and there is no more muffin-top (yeahhh!!!), but it is totally without shape on the butt. It's baggy... T___T I have no ass at all! I am losing all the fat on my ass and breasts...and the fat belly is still there. Arghh!!
fkjljggijglj
Yes, I am disappointed. But I will not give up!! I know the fat belly will be the last one to leave my body... so, I declare officially war to it!!!
 
Focus on losing weight just now and then when you are done you can tone. Have a look at brazilian butt lift on youtube. I haven't tried it yet but I want to tomorrow.
But it doesn't matter that you don't know how much you ran, because you RAN :)

Thank you CloudyMuffin and BeHappyWMe!
I was thinking of starting lifting weight soon, but being realistic I don't think I have time for the gym. I am final year university student, have my thesis going on and the last courses to take, without counting I have to work 20 hours a week. I am a bit scary all I am doing now will be gone once the academic year will start.
If not at the gym I will try some exercice home (since it would be too cold soon to continue go running). I really want to do something everyday. I have noticed that it's easier for me to NOT skip anyday, than have a pause and "restart" each time. We will see how it goes.

Today I am again 61.4. gjsjlmnfa dfljflkdsj!!!!!
This is WAR!!!!
I may guess the weight doesn't move from there because I have been eating lighter during the day and more during the evening (to wait my husband to come from work). I am going to change that. And drink instead of 1.5 l of water, 2 or more.
This week I WILL REACH 60.9. I PROMISE it to myself!!!!
