Becky's Diary!

then i get a weeks break and then ive got biomolecules and biochemistry on 4th june, french aspects of society and decision mathematics on 5th and then ive finished :D
 
Hey there girl!

Thanks for the post in my diary. That formula was very interesting! And I love you logic about the -500 calories a day. My Base calorie need is 2138 according to the formula. So I need about 1600 a day to lose weight. I've been aiming for between 1300 and 1500 so that's good.

I'm 24 years old.
5' 9"
and 165 pounds.

Congrats on your 12 pound loss! That is at least a dress size! Super exciting. Only 2.5 pounds so far for me, but I've already cut out some bad habits... like trips to coldstone for icecream or pizza twice a week. So yay for both of us.

Lost Lenore
 
Wonderful thanks Steve :)

Lenore: Thank you! Congrats on your loss too. Hey, 2.5lbs is better than none, right? :D

Keep up the 1600 calories and keeping active and you'll be losing more in no time! :D

Yes indeedy, I've gone from a shameful 16 to a better 14 UK sizes. Quite happy about it :D

Ice cream and pizza are yummy, but not as good as seeing yourself slim and happy for the first time in years! :D I must keep telling myself that, lol.



Yesterday was good! I was at my boyfriends house all day and it was lovely. I was uber scared though when it got dark for some strange reason, and kept following him everywhere. Hate doing that but I was sh*tting myself. I don't know why.. lol. And then we watched Land of the Dead O_O

Anywho, food-wise..

Porridge, orange juice
Chicken sandwich
Popcorn
Apple and grape snack pack
Brazil nuts
Baked beans on toast (Dave makes them very yummy :D)
An Alpen chocolate and orange bar thingy. 60 cals each! -will buy a pack-

All together it was around 1500. I didn't walk to the bus stop though that morning, and Daves mum brought me home, so I must do some running on the treadmill to make up for it.

I'm finding it hard to exercise.. I have no motivation now. I think its cause mine and Davids relationship is very good, and we haven't argued.. and I only exercise when I'm mad. I have to get out of that habit.

I'm getting ready for college now. I'll be walking to the bus stop :D
Also going shopping for new shoes, so that should burn some cals off me.
All I have are winter boots, dressy glittery flats, and some converse-wanna-be things.. meh.

I get EMA today (for going to college.. woo) so I might, might spend that and buy some new clothes and things I need. I know I should start saving for my birthday (for new clothes for when I'm smallerrrr :D), but its hard lol. I will start next week. I will definitely try.
 
Porridge, orange juice.
Tuna and sweet corn sandwich.
Sausage roll.
Spaghetti Bolognese.
One chocolate biscuit.
Mini cheddars.

Not so bad. Getting hungry now though, but I'm going to bed. I need to catch up on some sleep! Nigh' night.
 
Not posted for a few days. Been with my boyfriend a lot of the time, anything to get out of the house. I want to move out. My dad said some hurtful things and my mum is turning everyone against me by lying to them, telling them that I've done things when I havent.

I stayed at my boyfriends last night.. I wish I could stay here forever, or anywhere thats not at my house. I don't want to go back but I have to.

Not eaten good today. At my limit already and its only 5:30 pm.
I'll eat something later anyway and make up for it by going on the treadmill until tuesday.

Dyed my hair blonde. I went over that with light brown. Looks quite good but strange, not used to it being so light. I gave my boyfriends light brown hair some blonde highlights too, looks sexy.
 
Great day today! Went for a walk to Tesco, bought some peppers, tomatoes, yogurts, brazil nuts, fajitas, and I bought myself some pajamas ^_^ Oh, and a speed rope! It's great.

I need some goals or plans.

I plan to:
Skip for at least 30 mins a week.
Walk/run on the treadmill at least 10 mins a day/70 mins a week.
Walk to Tesco at least once a week for supplies.
Try to walk around Carmill Lake every weekend/or serious activeness.
Take the stairs at college (I do this anyway!).

Just be more active. I need to be. I will be.

Really not looking forward to college today. I have Andy as my tutor and he makes me feel so stupid. He always says I'm not gonna get a distinction with my attitude, I hate it. I will get a distinction you prick, and I'll get another one, and my overall marks will be Distinction, so f**k you.

1. Sorry you are having family troubles. They are never fun.

2. A huge congrats to your success so far! You should be so proud. :)
 
Hello

Hi there.
You sure sound busy. It's so nice that you have a good boyfriend that you can hang out with. Especially when things are yukky at home. I always think that we are supposed to start fighting with our parents and stuff so it helps both sides get ready for the separation of leaving home. I know my parents were ready to help me pack!!

Good luck with your school stuff, and congrats on your loss!
Cheryl:)
 
Thanks guys, I'm very proud and determined to carry on :D

^ I'm very lucky to have my boyfriend, he is very good to me and I'm so grateful for him.
I guess we are just preparing ourselves for me moving out. That day can't come fast enough! :D

Thanks again everyone.


So today was good. I walked to the closest bus stop though so I could make it to college in time to see my boyfriend for half an hour before he went home. The poor boy is sick :(

I had an amazing sleep too. I love Thursdays for the sleep, but the college part is bad. I stood up to the tutor though and told him what I'm doing and what I'm not doing, and he said okay and that I'm right, he was pushing me too hard.

Breakfast:
Ham sandwich - 142
Yogurt - 95
Orange Juice - 60

Just before College:
Canned tomatoes - 35
Bread - 49

Lunch:
Egg and Cress sandwich - 255

Second Lunch:
Fajitas - way less ingredients than usual - 270

Naughty:
Cheese and onion crisps - 131
Small piece of chocolate 100

Dinner:
Beef & Vegetable Stew and Potatoes - Unsure

Roughly 1400-1500 calories.

I'll be doing 10 mins of skipping after scanning pictures for college work.
 
I had a great day today, exercise-wise. I did a lot longer on the treadmill. Walking, running, with wrist weights and extra weights. Was lovely.

I love getting a bath after working out. I don't feel so icky anymore. :p

Starving though! I'm gonna get some baked beans on toast and pear slices.

Porridge, milk, orange juice. - 270

Sandwich. - 255

Fajitas. - 330

Beans on toast - 197

I'm going to see 28 weeks later with my boyfriend at 10pm tonight. I can't wait!
 
Friday was DREADFUL. My worst day yet since starting my diet around two months ago.

Porridge, milk, orange juice
Egg and Cress sandwich
Pear Snack Pack
Fajitas
Beans on toast
Crisps
Snack a Jacks
Two 88 cal choc n nut bars
Beans on toast

1750 calories. It is dreadful, BUT, mid day I ran/walked on the treadmill for a lot longer than usual. I was also better yesterday, and I had 1250 calories.

I think where I went wrong was breakfast. I hadn't had porridge/a small breakfast for a while, and I used too much milk so it wasn't thick and heavy on the stomach. I got hungrier quicker, so I had my lunch too early, and all my other meals too early, so I added more food later on to keep me full.

Today I'll go back to normal (1400) and keep up the exercise.

I was still very disappointed in myself. Especially since I had a pizza this week. I don't expect to see any difference on the scales.

Today for breakfast:
Three slices of 49 cal toast
Canned tomatoes, 40 cals
Boiled egg, 76 cals
Orange Juice, 60 cals
=323 cals.

Since I woke up mid day (and I love when I do), and I have my last meal at 8pm, This gives me 3-4 meals every 2-3 hours at 350 calories per meal. This gives me plenty of food more often (because I woke up so late), and I won't over-eat then cause I'll be so full already.
 
Yesterday:

Weetabix, skim milk, slice of boiled egg and orange juice.
Peanut butter, cheese and 2 toast.
Baked beans on 2 toast.
Pasta, peppers and sweet corn in salsa.
Crisps.

With the crisps, I was insane. I wolfed them down like it was the last thing I was gonna eat, and someone was about to steal them from me. I must learn to control myself more.

Today I think is going to be a bit bad. I got up at 7am so its gonna be a long day. I have to stretch my meals today, and make sure I'm not hungry so I don't grab the junk food.

What I've planned for today:

Weetabix, skim milk.
Banana.
Special K bar
Egg and Cress sandwich.
Spaghetti on toast.
Potatoes, green beans and white fish.
 
I admire you!

I am so impressed with your weight loss!
My daughter is also 17, and she is packing about 160 pounds. I kind of wish she would start paying attention to what she eats. She's very active in sports, so she's got a lot of muscle, but still...
Enjoy your week and keep on keepin' on!
:)

Hi,
Sounds like you really know what you are doing and have done really well so far.
We all have bad days (I had two bad days this weekend) but it is no good beating yourself up.
Just forget about it and move on.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you :)

If your daughter is happy with herself she isn't going to want to change how she eats, but if shes unhappy or could be happier eating healthier, a nudge in the right direction will go a long way and she will appreciate it when shes finally happy in herself. Maybe you could (if you don't already) offer to make her breakfast, lunch or dinner, or all, and make it healthier. Or ask her if she'd like to help with making a healthy dinner, or go shopping for new healthy foods. She might see how good it all is and start to copy you. Good luck with your week :)

You're right, it is no good beating yourself up. Just gotta learn from your mistakes I guess and try your best to avoid those bad days. Thanks :)
