Not A man, but MY man locked me into our flat by accident. Was no big deal, I called him and waited for him to come and set me free!
I have eaten too much and wrong stuff and haven't been feeling so great the past 2 or 3 days, so today I start again. I am going to the gym (the weather still sucks... argh LONDON!!!) and eating well and stay in my 1200-1400 calories every day.
I will update this evening, Camy

Ok food for yesterday:
Breakfast: 1 banana, 200 ml of calcium fortified OJ
Lunch: 1/4 of spanish omelette (175 cals), soy beans, green beans, sugarsnap beans salad
Snack: 1/2 a nut bar
Dinner: chicken and avocado salad, some olives (was a bit hungry in the end and woke up hungry for the first time in a long time!)
Calories: 1090 (lowish)
Exercise:
25 minutes elliptical
TumEx (I will explain this further down)
Today's food:
Breakfast: 1 banana, 1 crispy bar (130 cals)
Lunch: green salad, 1 tin of mackarel
Snack: grilled Artichoke, some salad
Dinner: 1/2 bowl of egg fried rice, 25g of corn snacks (100 cals), 4 small pieces of chocolate, 1 banana spread with 1 tea spoon full of peanut butter (these were really just snacks to keep me going til dinner, but I had so many that I don't want any dinner)
Calories: 1200 (alrighty)
Exercise:
TumEx
TumEx is my new tummy regime, I will list here how it goes (it made me really sore, so I think it is working!):
First of all I don't know the names of the things so I gave it my own names and will explain what they look like:
- 3x15 sit ups, legs crossed in the air, arms stretched out straight
- 15 oblique sit ups (alternating)- 15 leg swings right (on the side, propped up on an elbow both legs together, one leg swings up to 90°, then back again and stops an inch or 2 before touching the other leg, then again)-15 obliques-15 leg swings left-15 obliques-15 double leg swings (on the back, holding on to something, both legs straight in the air, then back down straight, 1 or 2 inches before the floor stop and back up again-- this one is a killer!)
- 3x cat exercise (on all fours, then prop up on tippy toes, but keep knees 1 or 2 inches from floor level, hold position for 15 seconds-- it contracts all the muscles I could imagine), in between, back stretches
- 3x15 hip swings (on the back, pull both legs towards the chest, then stretch out parallel to the floor a few inches above floor level), in between sets 15 seconds of butterfly (soles of the feet together , legs form a diamond, try to get knees to the floor)
Then I stretch sitting up my legs and back.
That is all folks, Camy

Sorry I havent been by for a while. Been catching up. It certainly sounds like your parents never realised how lucky they were with the way that you went out of your way to win their approval. Often a few days is long enough. I can imagine that you will be pleased to be back home now.
I'm sorry that you had to put your ticker back up. We all experience slight gains like that at times. At least you know now that it doesnt mean that there is a major problem with the project.
I'm sorry that you havent been feeling too well recently. I hope that you are feeling better soon.
Dont worry about having to stop coming to the forum when you get to goal. I think that quite a few of us are planning to stay long after we get to goal. I know that for myself maintenance will probably be the toughest part of the job. I have already dropped lots of subtle hints towards Kimberly and elsewhere that there should be room in challenges to accomodate people that are intending to work hard (eating in a controlled healthy manner and exercising) with every intention of maintaining weight. It seems quite reasonable that weight points could be awarded if you were a maintainer for keeping within so many pounds of a target instead of for simply losing. If there are no challenges around that accomodate maintenance when I eventually get to goal - I will start setting them myself.
Take care
Love

My back ached awfully, it is my upper back so I am pretty sure it is muscular but even really strong pain killers would nto manage it. I am going to see a chiropractor next week, until then I will limit myself to swimming for my exercise (and aqua-aerobics which I signed in for tomorrow).
I didn't eat that much today... will count cals, but I think they are low, don't really feel so hungry. I think it is my period coming... hopefully I can shed some weight with the lining of my uterus!
Food of the day:
Breakfast: 1 banana (80 cals), 200 ml of OJ (90 cals), 2 sweeties (70 cals)
Lunch: 1/4 of spanish omelette (190 cals), green salad with asparagus (150 cals... maybe)
Snack: bounty ice cream (280 cals)
Dinner: 2 small sushis (150 cals), salad with lettuce (40 cals), shrimp (80 cals), artichokes (60 cals), olive oil and vinegar dressing (100 cals... maybe)... I didn't finish the salad, then 1 piece of choc (80 cals)
Grand total of: 1370 cals... ok not too bad! I am glad I had that icecream, I do not want to go below 1200!
No exercise because of back... ick!

I am totally desperate, I have been eating little (you can see the last 4 days I have never been above 1390 cals), exercising good amounts (one day 1 k swimming, one day elliptical, stretches and abs, today I am going to aqua aerobics) and still I am putting on weight! It is bizarre!! And as Steve would say thermodynamically impossible!
My BMR is 1497, with moderate exercise my daily need is around 2100 cals, I am eating between 1200 and 1400... how the heck am I not losing???????? I have a fairly active lifestyle, not just sitting around, I go out with the kids...
I really hope I am just bloated and once this goddamn period comes I will sudenly lose like 2 kg at once!
Next week is my minigoal which I am clearly not going to make... this rollercoaster is just getting worse and worse.
Ok gotta go will update later, but wishes can I donate like a lung? They may be heavier!! Or 3/4 of my liver? Or a leg???

Aqua aerobics rocked... it was darn hard I gotta say, my muscles hurt and I am completely wiped out but I think this is the class I will continue taking. i do get bored in classes about 20 minutes into it which is why i never take them, but this one feels like a good work out and it is low impact which is good for my poor bothered back!
And it burns 300 cals in an hour! Yey!
Food for the day:
Breakfast: 1 banana, 100 g of blueberries, 200ml of multivitamin juice
Lunch: small spanish omelette (230 cals), salad made out of: red cabbage, broccoli, cucumber, tomato, 1 olive, sesame and sunflower seeds (I am eating all those spanish omelettes because I brought them from spain with me and they will go off otherwise!)
Dinner: 1 fillet of sword-fish and grilled veggies, some mozzarella
Exercise:
60 minutes or aqua-aerobics
walked 1.7 miles instead of taking the bus home
30 mins of vigorous sexual activity

OK, my body has started to let go, finally! I am down a pound and my hope is back!
My food has been imperfect the past 2 days, but not totally horrible.
So Saturday food:
Breakfast: 1 banana, blueberries, 200 ml of multivitamine juice
Lunch: 60 g of rice and quinoa spaghetti and some plain rice with tomato sauce and 7 king prawns, big salad with beetroot
Dinner: ok this was just messy, so I had 2 bits of cheese, 1 apple, tons of salty popcorn, some haribo sweeties and grapes
Sunday food:
No breakfast
Lunch: risotto and 1 tin of artichokes
Dinner: lasagna/moussaka spin off, it was 3 layers of grilled aubergine, 2 layers of meat and tomato sauce and 1 layer of mozzarella cheese (it was awesome!) on top, green salad and 5 haribos
Monday food:
Breakfast: 1 banana, 150 g of blackberries, 200 ml of multivitamine juice/OJ
Lunch: 100 g of rice-quinoa pasta with tomato sauce, cucumber salad
Snack: 1 soy latte, 1 gluten free shortcake
Dinner: mussels in white wine sauce, green salad with some carrots, 150 g of cherries
No sports over the weekend, had terrible terrible back pain on sunday, tomorrow I will go swimming (I am on my period yuck) and until the back issues don't resolve I think I will have to swim instead of running. Really this week I should have started training for the race of life, but I can't.
My exercise plan for the summer is:
3 times a week running training (about 45 minutes each time)
2 times a week swimming (30 lanes or more)
1 time a week aqua aerobics (60 minutes)
7 days a week TumEx
So this could be:
Monday: running + TumEx
Tuesday: swimming + TumEx
Wednesday: running + Tum Ex
Thursday: swimming + TumEx
Friday: aquafit + TumEx
Saturday: running + TumEx
Sunday: rest (and TumEx)
Since I only have to in hospital from 5 to 9 pm, I will have a lot of time to exercise about 1 hour a day. I would really love to be on my goal by the time I leave this country which is end of september, and I am willing to work hard for it.
The eating comes fairly easy to me, but the exercise is my shortcoming and I would really like to be as active as possible in the next weeks. I have about 7 weeks until my race and then after the race I will re-evaluate the sports situation, if I enjoy running I may continue it, or I could try more classes (I want to do a dance class here and there).
On saturday I am going to germany to visit some friends and then when I come back on Wednesday I hope to start the abovementioned plan. Until then I will mainly swim I think.

After a little break I am back with renewed energy!
So I bought the dreamkini, the bikini of my dreams, but it doesn't fit as of yet, so I need to get the dream body to put into the dreamkini. I can't even believe I did it, I bought it, but it was the last one and I was so afraid they would nto have any left by the time I had reached my bikini bod.
In the next 5 weeks I want to properly lose weight again. I looked awful in the beginning, I look alright now, it is time to look amazing (the three As everyone of us goes through!). Ideally I would lose around 10 pounds in those next 5 weeks, but if I have learned something in the past 6 months it is that sometimes things go slower and that is ok. However in 5 weeks is my big race and then only 4 weeks later I am going sailing with my parents and the man. I want to use the dreamkini on the sailing boat.
My sports routine is up there 2 posts back, 3 times a week running, 2 times a week swimming, 1 time a week aqua fit, plus tummy exercise.
My food will be a bit more strict than it has been lately (less chocolate, no weekly frappucinos, less milk products since they bloat me) but between 1300 and 1500 cals a day.
I will try to up my water intake, since it has been on the low side lately.
I am taking a vitamin tablet for my hair and skin, since my hair falls out, plus my thyroid medication.
I am trying to sleep about 8 hours a day.
And it starts now!

Congrats on getting all that exercise in! I wish you luck with the 10 pounds in time for the fun sounding trip.. you'll look fabulous as long as you have a FUN time in your dreamkini. Wear it even if you don't make the full 10. You have earned it after all your hard work.
Get going on the water!
