Amy's Journey to a new life! At 16!

Day 8 - 15th Jan 2009

Well motivation has been keeping me going, I declined a BurgerKing meal off my college mate the other day, It didn't bother me watching him eat while I was drinking my water, I felt so good about myself for doing that! Although my weight has been going up and down in the past few days, I think I'm due on soon. Is it normal for your weight to be going up and down so rapidly?

Anyway, no exercise simply because my older sister wants to get her daughter into her school routine before we start (Roughly next week). I've also been rushed off my feet by trying to meet the deadline for Project No#2 for college, which I finished early!

Comments much apprechiated!

Also how much is 13st 10lbs in lbs? Because whenever I try to use convertors or try to convert myself (x14) I always get 183lbs-ish when I've only lost 5lbs from 196? It doesn't make sense!
 
Day 11 - 18th Jan 2009

I was very naughty for the first time since my diet, I got wrecked last night had loads of alcohol and a few 'bad snacks' I was devistated when I ate it but when I was raving in my sisters friends living room it was all good! :cheers2:

As most of you know how it feels I was eager to know how much of that hard work I've thrown away. But to my damn surprise I've lost weight, that confused me alot because I mean you're s'pose to gain weight after a party right? Well not like right after but you know.

It's mad thinking that 2 weeks ago I was 14st 4lbs now I'm 13st 7lbs!
 
Day 18 - 25th Jan 2009

Okay so I feel like shit, I went over a mates house yesterday and decided to order a pizza. I had 4 slices and felt sick which isn't me, I usually demolish the box. Anywho I feel so guilty now, I know we're ment to have treats every so often but I'm a person who'd rather go cold turkey because it's more effective for me to not crave. Anywho apart from that I've been really good on my diet still. Havn't started the gym yet there's complications with arrangements and stuff but d.w I will be going soon!

I think I've lost another lbs, not sure because my weighing scales confuse me to death! I lose and gain weight so quickly it's strange!
 
Day 21 - 28th Jan 2009

Been good on my diet so far, I feel really good about myself and my college friends are starting to see a difference, also my aunties who I havn't seen in months have seen a big difference. I however can't see the difference so bleh ... But I s'pose it's true because my coat is more spacey on me now I had to have the buttons undone on the arms but now there done up and the sleeves are loose on me. Anywho ... I'm on my 'monthly' so I wouldn't be surprised if I gained weight that's why I'm not going to weigh myself until this kell is over with.

I'm currently addicted to water, used to be addicted to Coca-Cola! WUT'S HAPPENING?!

Anyway, comments are truely apprechiated!
 
Hey Amy! You're doing awesome!

I know how you feel about the pizza. I get that same way, even when I eat things that aren't really that bad for you. I think it's because we don't want to sabotage all our hard work and we aren't really sure what's going to happen when we eat certain things.
But, don't kill yourself over it. You're right, we all need to expect that we aren't going to be perfect all the time and some slip ups are HEALTHY AND OK! :D

Doesn't it feel great when people start to notice a difference?! Even if you can't see it yet, at least you know someone can!

Keep up the great work.

Thanks hun,
I got an update aswell. I've lost another 2lbs so altogether I've lost 1st :D Which I'm really proud of! Also I'll be blowing my diet yet again tomorrow, I'm having two friends over to chill out with and drink and eat some crap, but I'll be making up for it during the week.

Keep up the good work guys!
 
Day 35 - 12th Feb 2009

My weight has been going up and down for the past few weeks. My diet is going okay, but I've had cheat days. Heck .. I've been excellent actually I havn't gone back to my old eating habbits. Still havn't done exercising which is a major knock-back!

Still hoovering at 13st 4lbs
 
I dug up a picture of me a month before I started my lifestyle change.

Day 59 - 18th March 2009

Okay so I know I've been naughty, havn't updated for ages thought I should just to let you guys know I'm still doing it!
I've lost another 2lbs, Weight loss has been slow simply because I was cheating alot for like 2-3 weeks but I'm back on track!

ONLY this week I've started exercise, lost 1st without exercise lol the madness!

But I'm doing exercise 3 times a week with my sister. We got two DVD's one is Davina's (British Presenter of Big Brother) and Natalie Cassidy's Then & Now (British Soap Actress). There both great, we vary our routine by choosing Cardio Boxing on the tuesday and 'Core Crunch' on the thursday, If we have another day during the week we choose something else.

Stats:
Start Weight - 200lbs (14st 4lbs)
Current Weight - 184lbs (13st 2lbs)

Please reply! It boosts me!

Despite the cheat days you seem to be doing great. keep up the great work and i can totally see a difference on your photos.
 
Hey Amy, it's the other Amy! ;) lol ~ haven't seen you on in awhile so I thought I'd say hi! I hope everything is still going okay! It's easy to beat yourself up about the cheats, but the best thing I've found to do is remember that habits are really hard to completely "unlearn" and to take it one day at a time and keep going. :hurray::hurray::hurray: I hope you're still having fun and being healthy! :)

I saw your post about eating the pizza and feeling bad from it...I know what you mean. It's like, I still feel bad about my "binges" but then when I think about what my binges USED to be, it really puts it in perspective. At my worst I'd have thought nothing of eating 2/3 of a large pizza by myself! And now I give myself crap for having more than 2 slices...so I guess it's pretty relative :)
