Blackie's Journal - from 180lbs to 130lbs, 21F 5ft7

I had gained another pound today, but I now understand why! My period is about to start. ::) No wonder. I also gave myself a little treat just now, I ate a total of 40 carbs! Oh noes, that's normally the amount of carbs for two days lol. Oh well, that's ok, I rarely let myself to do anything like this. :) Now I have to keep on fighting against my cravings. Sweet things are something I just can't resist during my period, I guess that's a fact for a lot of women. :D

Thank you!! I'm soo excited cos this is actually my first real job! I'll be working at McDonalds. ;D


You can say that again! I can't understand how we can be so similar lol! Thanks for the encouragement. :)

I was oh so active again today. I went downtown to take care of some job related stuff. I had the opportunity to use an elevator, but I decided to go via stairs instead! Everything was fine until I had to go up the stairs. Lol it was a pain! But I did it and get this, I basically ran them up! I really have to try to get my fitness level up, since I will be on my feet a lot at McDos. :eek: *tries to motivate herself to get up and go jogging!*

wow McDonalds, that sounds so much fun!! Your going to have such a good time while you earn loads of money!!:) Make sure you stay away from the fattie food, it will be hard i bet!! I hope you enjoy it chick:) xoxoxox
 
Thank you hun! x :) Everyone seems really nice there, so I'm pretty confident that I'll have a good time! Just have to hope that the customers won't be awful. :D I'm glad I'm a vegetarian so I'll have no problem staying away from the burgers, haha. :D But though I'm a vegetarian, I LOVE their chicken nuggets. I just can't control myself when I see one of them lol! So I'll have to get a grip every time I'm selling nuggets and that lovely garlic dip... Yummmm?

I've been gaining some weight during the past few days, like 5lbs or something, but I think it's because of my period. So I won't be weighing myself for at least a week or so, until my body's back to normal. :) Hopefully I haven't gained any extra weight after that, cos I'm so weak against all sweet stuff during that one week every month! :D

Oh in that case stay wellll away from the chicken nuggets dear!! hehe, believe me they are not worth it.

Yeah dont worry about the 5lbs gain Blackie, its defo caused by the period!( the things us woman have to put up with!!)

Try your hardest to stay away from the sweet foods, a treat now and then is fine, but days of eating whatever you want is a no no!!

You seem in great form girl over the new job! Delighted for ya!!:)xoxox
 
Haha, thanks, I'll try! I just checked the carbs they contain and almost fainted. Waaay too much for my diet. The fact that I get a 50% discount isn't helping at all! :D

I sure hope I'll lose the extra weight (or maybe it's just some fluids) soon! I feel all bloated and super fat, yuck. :s

Thanks princess? I'm super excited about the job. :) Some might think McD isn't something to be excited about but I sure am! I'm ready to go and learn lots of new stuff, like about preparing all the food they serve! Plus, I'll be spending 6-8 hours on my feet, that means losing calories and losing weight! Let's get this party started - the 130-pound-me - here I come lol!!

Oh and I forgot to mention that I walked about 3-4 kilometres the day before yesterday. Phew I was beat but felt gooood afterwards. :)

Congratulations on the job! If I were in your situation, I would make a contract with myself: I allow myself x nuggets per week, and not one more! Or try to stay away from them completely, but I would completely fail at that!
 
Thank you! xx :) That's a good tip, maybe I'll try that! Perhaps I'll reward myself with the smallest possible amount of nuggets you can buy (which is four) every week after having a tough week at work! :D I've been able to stay away from the nuggets for months, but I bet it's gonna get tougher now that I'll be working right next to them lol!
 
Blackie, you need to start posting on this everday!!:):) I am missing your presence like cwazeee:( I hope dieting and exercising is going well, and that the new job is going fab fab!!:):)

All the best my twin! haha

xoxo
 
Oh aren't you sweet xx :) I'll try to post more often, but atm I have nothing special to tell you guys! :D My body's still uh, "recovering" from the period, so I don't feel like weighing myself. :S I've been feeling all lazy during the week, but it's gonna change tomorrow as it's time to go to work! Getting a bit nervous about it now. :D

Thank you, you too twin #2 lol! ??
 
Phew, first day at work - done! I sure am beat, but it was a lot of fun! My feet and back are killing me, but then again it feels like I've been working out. ;) So feeling gooooood, hope you guys have a good day too?
 
I've been at work for five days now and I've found some new muscles lol! Definitely a great workout, five hours a day. Not bad! My shoulders are still pretty tense, but otherwise I'm feeling pretty good! Obviously my feet are sore every day after work, but I haven't had to take any painkillers since Monday. Yay! :)

The bad thing is that the pounds I put on during my period are still there! >:| My mom's convinced that they're just fluids and will eventually go away naturally though it might take a few weeks. But.. I'll get my next period in a few weeks so will I put on another 5 pounds? DD: What a pain in the butttttt.
 
Its great to know that work is going so well Blackie, and it sounds like you are buring some serious calories when your working! Well done hunni, dont be worrying about the weight you've put on since your period, just keep eating healthy and the weight shall go down eventually!!:):):) Dont lose hope!!

All the best lovely:):)xoxo
 
Thanks for the support? I sure hope I'll lose the weight asap! It's a bit frustrating cos I was a pound away from my first goal of losing 20lbs. :( Oh well, I guess I'll get there eventually! Just have to keep eating the way I have and burn sume extra calories at the "McDo Gym" lol!

I hope you're day's been a good one? :)
 
Don't worry about it girl, I'm sure you will get there soon enough. Just keep up the good work.
 
Thank you for reading and posting, MLB! :) And thanks for the encouragement, I need it cos the extra weight's been there for two weeks already. o:
You're doing pretty well yourself, too. :) Keep it up!
 
FINALLY I've lost the weight I gained during my period! I gained about 6lbs (!) and it took me like two weeks plus the period week to get rid of it! Soooo I weighed 159lbs today, which is a pound less than where I was at before my period. I sure hope it all won't come back next week as they're about to start again lol!

So I'm back on track and now I have two more pounds to lose until I reach my first goal weight of 157lbs. After that I've lost a total of 20lbs yay! I took some measurements today too and noticed that though I haven't really lost any more weight (1 pound doesn't count lol), I've actually lost a lot of inches! For the first time in years my thigh was less than 23½ inches so I felt super great!! They're my problem area (along with my hips) so I'm definitely excited! I guess the "McDo Gym" has paid off. ;)

Hope you guys have a great day like I did!
 
Yay im delighted you lost the period weight!! Hopefully when you get them next, gaining weight wont happen again.


You are doing so well. YAY...*HUGS* xoxox
 
Blackie its been ages since you posted:( Im missing my twin like crazy:( I hope you are doing great and your still enjoying your job ( STAAAAY AWAY FROM THE NUGGETS) haha


Miss your supportive words you gorgeous girl, things around here are not the same without you.


Hope you come back to us soon xoxoxo
 
Awh thanks hun, I've been a mental support for you every day!? I'm just so tired after work that I haven't had the energy to post anything. :eek: I'll fix it now!

Soooo, yeah everything's been great, I've lost some weight (I was at 156lbs yesterday) but I think it's slowing down a bit, grr! I feel so much better about my body too, I've actually started wearing short shirts with jeans again, as I'm more comfortable with my thigs (they're about 22½inches yaaaay!). :))) The only thing that's making me feel a bit down is that some of my co-workers obviously have something against me.:( They're really cold and stuff, feel like not going to work at times.. Today none of them were at the same shift, though, so I had a blast.:) PS I've been staying away from the nuggets, whoop-whoop!!

Hope you're well?
