Adelyn's Diary

I am seventeen years old, 5'3, 127 pounds, and have just about the worst self-confidence of anyone that I know. I work out almost everyday and am in good shape which I am happy about. I used to weigh 142 pounds so I have definitely made progress but i want to weigh juuust below the 120 mark so I can feel confident about myself. Although I am in shape I still would like to thin out a little. I have already gained confidence by people telling me I look skinnier but I am not quite there yet and I am still unhappy with what I see in the mirror. I am one of the most determined people you'll meet, but weight loss seems to be the one thing I can't stick too. I am hoping that with online support I can stay on track and achieve my goal :) I can do this!

I have a new plan: running 20 miles per week. I think it will help me become leaner overall. Already ran 11 miles this week :) So nine more to go. Hoping to see results soon!
 
fatass

soo basically im a fatass and ate like crap all weekend. i didnt gain any weight though surprisingly but i didnt lose any either...i really need to get on track because im going to the beach soon :(
 
Hey Adelyn!

Try not to beat yourself up too much! Weekends are tough for some reason, especially if you have had a tough week but stuck well to the plan through all the stress. Sometimes it just all comes apart on the weekends. I really have a hard time with them. And if you have stepped up your exercise/training, you probably will feel hungrier.

You can do it!! Try not to panic about the upcoming beach trip. Just do what you can between now and then and don't worry too much if you don't get quite to your goal by then, you WILL get there at some point! I tend to eat from panic (and worry and happiness and guilt and shame and anger...etc.).
 
Thank you! :) yeah this weekend was especially tough for me because we have had a lot of family issues going on thatve upset me a lot. all said and done, i weighed 128.5 this morning. i bet some of it is water weight though so i am not too worried but i am still dissapointed. and i already ate a crappy breakfast this morning but i am going to finish the day off good and with going to the gym tonight to get myself back on track. hoping to be 125 by the time i go to the beach. s only 5 pounds away from my goal!
 
Good News :)

well the scale read 126.5 this morning! so i guess most of that was water weight after all. i am back at my lowest weight and so i am hoping that tomorrow will be the day i can finally break through this barrier. i am going to put forth all the effort that i can today to make it worthwhile when i step on the scale tomorrow. i feel confident! even if no one else reads my posts i like other people having the opportunity to be able to read them and having the same goals as me. i can do this! i WILL reach my goal beore school starts!

update: ran 5 miles this morning! off to a good start
 
July 27th

so today i ate pretty crappy but still managed to keep my calories under 1400. i ran five miles again today at the gym and its starting to get reeeally boring! mainly because ive been focused on family issues rather than working out so i havent been as motivated. my weight this morning was the same as yesterday, 126.5, but because it is still at that number tonight i think that it will FINALLY be under that in the morning. i will be at my lowest weight since eighth grade!! (4 years ago!) i cant wait for that accomplishment, so hopefully it comes tomorrow! i am cracking down before school starts in less then a month. went shopping today and bought some new shirts that actually looked good on me that i would have never worn before. but in a couple weeks comes my least favorite shopping trip- for jeans. all mine are too big so i need new ones but i also find myself in tears in the dressing room when i try on jeans. if i can be as close to my goal weight as possible by the time i go i wont have that problem :)
 
July 28th

I DID IT!!!! 125.5 pounds! im at my lowest weight :) now im more motivated then ever to keep going so i dont end up back above my lowest weight! maybe ill even be at 125.0 tomorrow...we will see! ahh 5.5 lbs to go. i am so close
 
July 29th

so i weighed almost a pound more today then i did yesterday. im not too concerned though because i know flucuations will happen beyond my control. so all i can do is have a good day and wait to see results :)
 
August 2nd

and i weigh 126.5 pounds still!! maybe 125.5 was a fluke? haha. or maybe i just retain water reeeeally easily. but anyway i was hoping to be under 125.5 by friday where im going a trip with my boyfriends family for the week where we will be doing looots of swimming. i guess i will stay on track and see what happens.

so my sister and i started Jillian Michael's Get Ripped in 30 DVD...and it is AWESOME! we have completely the first 3 days. i'm hoping to see results at the end! the workouts are short (like 25 mins) but reeeeally tough. she kicks your ass. which is why i love it. and you get a rest day once a week so its more like ripped in 26 i guess? its divided into 4 weeks and the intensity goes up after each week. after day 3 im already feeling a lot stronger! hopefully i can make it through the rest! i reccomend this video to EVERYONE looking to get in better shape!

someone posted some good before and after pictures here:

^^great motivation

Keep going hun, your doing fab, dont get upset about the scales, because if you weigh yourself everyday it tends to go up and down- its normal!! I tend to weigh myself only once a week, it keeps everything much more calmer for me:)

I hope your consuming enough calories for your height hun! Best of luck chick!!

thank you :) i will try not to weigh myself every day because it definitely gets me down in the dumps. once a week is probably the best so i will aim for that. there is no need for me to get so upset overt fluctuations. and i consume 1200-1400 calories a day :)
 
August 3

So school starts in 2 weeks and 5 days...yikes! i didnt realize. time to CRACK DOWN! i am reeeeally going to be watching what i eat every single day until it starts. and instead of the 1400 calories ive been eating im going to cut down to 1200. and with all the cardio im doing plus ripped in 30 hopefully i will see some changes by august 22nd!

not weighing myself is challenging...but i didnt do it this morning! im going to try and go a week from today before i do.

Oh god the thoughts of going back to school when your dieting eeek. But hun you are doing a fab job so dont be worring. I dont think you have to decrease your daily calorie intake from 1400-1200 to lose extra weight. Also your going to be doing so much exercise so the weight is just going to fall off you pet!!


Well done for not weighing yourself today!! I know it can be hard to resist stepping on the scales!! Keep up the fab work!xoxox
 
So i haven't been on here in two weeks yikes....and im only down 1.5 pounds to 124. school starts MONDAY! but as long as i'm to 123 by then ill be okay, 3 pounds isnt going to make a huge difference in my apperance anyway. i tried on my jeans tonight and realized i only have a few that fit this year...the others are all too big!! i franically searched my closet but i pulled out eveything i have so it looks like i will be jean shopping tomorrow! getting so close to my goal
 
123.5 this morning! im getting there! ive lost less than one pound short of 20 lbs.

judging by the fact that the scale is just below 123.5 at the moment, i think ill be at 123 tomorrow morning! not gonna screw this weekend up. went clothes shopping today and was happy for the first time in the dressing room mirrors. usually i am repulsed by my reflection in them


its weird im finally losing these last few pounds though because i havent been burning nearly as many calories at the gym. or doing anything for that matter! my boyfriend left to college 4 hours away so it kind of takes a toll on wanting to exercise. i have indeed been eating less, but not drastically less, food just hasnt been appealing lately. but hey, if this will help me get to my goal weight i will take it haha and hopefully i feel better and get on back on track working out and eating normally again soon
 
so a week has passed and i havent lost ANY weight :/ getting back into school and everything always takes its toll!

but today i did really well - 1150 calories and burnt 350 at the gym


GOAL: 120 by the time i see my boyfriend. which is august 9th, a little less than two weeks away


not weighing until friday, the scale sucks and bounces around every time you get on and off it so i need to not weigh myself as much. i think if i weigh myself like once aweek i will get a more accurate measurement and see my progress over the past week
 
OK listen Kiddo I do not know what your diet is like right now but you may not be eating enough. What is your daily menu? Are you tracking calories, fat, carbohydrats and proteins?


If not you need to and I need to know what type of exercise you are doing..


I have recently talked about diet and exercise on my blog. Heck that is all I talk about.


LOL
