Changing the Way I Feel and Eat!!!

breakfast 2 coffees

lunch 1 cup cooked rice ,2 tbs leftover meat sause little piece feta cheese ,1 tomatoe and onion salad

dinner little chicken ,tomatoe salad

snack coffe and 150 cals chocolate


120 crunches,arm weights and i managed 45 minutes on stepper



oh boy did i sweat on the step.and i burnt about the same i would on my bike,but i dont sweat like that on my bike.so maybe the calories arent right on those little machines that come with the equiptment....so that means i have no idea how much i burn.i really enjoyed it though even if i was hanging in there to make it to45 minutes.i''ll ty to do 1 hour tommorow.i also really like that i am working out 4 times a week these last weeks!it feels great,i need to drag myself at first but thenim soooo fine!

we took mario to a play place,dont know what they are called in english,its full of cushioned stairs,slides and lots of balls.we went with our best friends

(couple)and their 2 boys.it was great to be out!plus i got to ''smoke''indoors while drinking my coffee!our friens the guy had a e-cigarette in his car stashed away and seeing us 2 with one,he went and got it.his wife wants one know aswell!that would be GREAT!The 4 of us NOT smoking anymore!!!

mario didnt have a fever today but was a bit grumpy poor thing.i had to take him out today,its over a week he has been stuck in the house.


now i have a question


looking at my body the part of my i HATE

is my hips.special now that i have lost weight.starting from top i LOOOOOVEEE my neck-shoulders-decolte area its super then is my waist that i can really start to see and then woops my yuck hips that have fat on.its not like i have just wide hips.its that i have fat on them more than any where else at it looks bad.right under my hips i go inwards again .its local fat.so i was wondering will it leave?or is liposuction needed?i will take a pic tomorow and post it.

when i wear leggings it just sticks out,its horrible....

so i''ll post tommorow 2 tell me your honest opinion!
 
Jess, You are a woman!!! We have hips & thighs!!!!!! Aaarrrgghhhhhhh! Stop giving yourself such a hard time. All the talk in this forum of cosmetic surgery drives me crazy. In a perfect world women wouldn't be like stick insects. Being healthy & fit is much more important than being stick thin & with no shape at all. Even if I was rich I still wouldn't have cosmetic surgery. Be proud to be a woman sweets, xoxo Cate
 
:) Cate~~!!!!YOu made me smile!i could just imagine you saying all that and raising your hands and really meaning it!!!!

Its NOT my hips that are wider that would be really nice (J.lo,beyonce ect!!!!) but its a strange kind of placment of FAT!~Off to take a pic in my leggings to post.

Just a few minutes and i'll be right back!
 
AI know we all have stuff we hate....but all I see is a super tiny waist....awesome boobs and great legs!! :)

maybe when you reach goal that will be were the weight comes from....we can't spot reduce so you will probably just have to wait and see.

you have a great shape!! enjoy your hard work!! :hurray:
 
AHeya sweetie

I know what you mean about your hips (they look fine to me by the way) cos i have the same issue, my hips and tummy!! I have been told that they are the last to go!! So there is hope :)
Also put ' exercises for hips' into 'youtube' online and there are loads of workouts on there that target that area.

I Love what Cate said about surgery. I know i said i wanted a tummy tuck but i know it is really extreme! And i will never pay what it costs lol. I can also picture her shouting lol.

Well done on the not smoking sweetie :hurray: So proud of you :) Mark was hassling me to stop smoking yesterday and i told him that when i get to 10 stone something and have been there for a month, then i will give up!!!!! Scary!!!
 
I'm glad I have made you all laugh. (Really- I am!!) I nearly deleted that post but let it go. It was a real honesty post on my part. I try not to say anything when I really do disapprove but occasionally I do feel like banging my head against a wall. It makes me really sad to see women (it's almost always women) beating themselves up about minor "flaws" that they see in their bodies. I want you not to put yourselves through the angst that I have put myself through in my younger days. Be healthy, be happy & love yourselves, with all your unique curves. We are loved & are worthy of it! All of us

Seeing your photo this morning Jess, you can now picture me doing this- :svengo:!!!!

You have an hour glass figure I would happily swap (perhaps with my height though- I really like being tall :biggrin:) Look at your gorgeous womanly shape! I have virtually no boobs & my hips, thighs & legs will always be much bigger than yours. Even without one solitary ounce of visible fat on my body I would still be pear shaped. That's my shape.

Having once been 30kg more than I am now I do have a small muffin top that hasn't really gone away, mainly because my skin is not so elastic (classic understatement) but that's ok as I'm 58 (& a 1/2) & my LH loves me, regardless & I have learned to love me too, muffin top & all. I don't want to get out in a bikini anyway. We should celebrate of womanliness & our differences. I do mean that. Skinny, absolutely skinny, with no shape, is not attractive. I sometimes shudder when I see super-thin models. Ugh!

It's funny but it really does seem that we lose weight everywhere else before we lose on our hips or thighs but it must be that we lose all over. I used to measure every week when I lost 36kg & it was fairly consistent. You'll lose a little there sweetie, with just a few more pounds. Exercising will help too. Now that you no longer smoke you will be able to get fitter & fitter. OK- I'll shut up now! I'm glad you didn't get grumpy with me & smiled instead. I didn't quite throw my hands up in the air, but I have been known to drop my head down on the computer & go "Aaaaaaaarrrggghhhhhhh" :blush5:

Lots of love sweetie. Good for you!!!! xoxo Cate
 
Hi Jess, I've come down off my soap-box today. Sorry about going on & on. You're doing well sweetie & I know it can't be easy. I think you look great & I hope that you do learn to love your body. No-one is perfect and what is perfect anyway? When you are able to eat more fruit & veg & start to feel better when the nicotine is right out of your system, you'll be looking forward to a brighter future. Look at yourself in the mirror, smile at what you see & say "I love you." When you believe that you will be a much happier person. You are worth loving Jess, xoxo Cate
 
Kate!It is a GREAT idea to try stop the smokes once at the weight you said and have been there for a month!It much better that just doing it while trying to loose...I weighed today,with an empty stomach and i am 78 kg...So i have gained.Wastn supprised though , i know i have really eaten bad....

Cate!!!!What you say is right and thanks so much for your kind words!!!You arent going on and on!I like what you say about it al all and i know you are right.

Its just that i really hate that part of me.I never tried to like it, though so maybe if i tried to i would manage at least not hating it!But it seems difficult right now , the way i feel about those little fat blobs sticking out!

If i had the money for liposuction i really dont know even then if i would go through with it.I had a operation last yeat on my hand (carpal tunnel?) and the pain i went through was TERRIBLE.It was easier for me to give birth than what i went through then.I was sooooo traumatised from that i actually cried just thinking of it , even after my wound healed.So going on on my own just to get some fat of...????dont think i could manage it.But then again im not sure.If i wanted to model or something maybe then i would.But im just me!!!I dont think bad about cosmetic surgery when needed.When its actually needed!
 
Breakfast Coffee

Lunch 4 pieces of pork in oven with 1 potatoe ans 1 carrot(all baked)

Snack Coffee

Dinner Low fat yoghurt


Workout 35 minutes on stairs , arm exercise , about 10 minutes of a work out dvd



Took some of Cates tips today and went and bought a low fat yummy yoghurt.I used to have them all the time when i started but then got sick of them!Now i enjoyed it sooo much.I just had it , after my work out

I was feeling really bad about me 78 kg again.Im not going to change my signature though...i'll be there again.Thing is i feel the 1,5 kg on me.I really do.I could feel it BEFORE the scales saw it!I felt "fat" these days , and really unhealthy.

So i must get my act together.Seems like i have had a hard time from september with financial problems that that ^$^&#@ "father" of mine here and then my smoking buisness.....At least the damage isnt big...thats good at least.So I dont know the cals for lunch but the coffees and yoghurt make up for 350 cals.DOnt think the lunch was 1000....even if it was im still ok!

I felt really tired after the step and only managed 10 minutes of the dvd.Plus i dont like it , the program ,that is on there.So i just stoped.Going to the shower now.


Loves and kisses ladies!!!!!:grouphug:

Jess sweetie, YOU won't let yourself get back up to 80! I loved your gorgeous photo & you are a sweetie. You look great! Now xmas is over we can all concentrate on getting down to where we want to be & a big part of that is raising our self-esteem. I think that is the best thing we can do for one another. No-one else can lose the weight for us, no-one else can exercise for us etc but we sure can help one another out by acting as a cheer squad. Darling, you look lovely & you are back on track, as of right now!

GO JESS!!!!!

GO TEAM!!!!

We are going to blitz this getting healthy & fit caper. Pft! Piece of fruit! Lots of love and a big thank you for my lovely pm xoxo Cate
 
thanks cate for sweet words!i know its our hard work that gets thejob done but without the support the job is done much harder....

yep today was my day 1 for back on track!so after your encouraging words i got some arm weights training done 20 minutes and 120 crunches...

i know its not much for calorie burning but its something.

my arm where burning real bad so was my tummy.my body feels so unfit,like i've been away for months.....



28th we are most likely to go out dancing ,for my sisters bday.if we do go its going to be a 80s night club!last time wwe went out for dancing/drinking was April (me at 97kilos),and that waas the night i decided to loose weight,i am going to feel really self concious if we go....i am looking forward going but also shit scared at the same time....
 
Just saw you had a new post & as I was scrolling down to it, blew your new photo a kiss! Did you get it? Have a ball Jess & dance until you drop- it's such a fun way of getting LOTS of exercise. I just noticed that, not only do you have a gorgeous, hour-glass figure but you also have such lovely eyes. ENVIOUS!!!!!!

xoxo Cate.

PS I would like to see more colour in your food young woman!!!! A nice palette of colour- green, orange, yellow, but especially green, enough of the white. That's an order! Well, it's a request, but I tried sounding bossy! Dance, dance, dance Jess & drink LOTS of water xoxoxox
 
Got the kiss!!!!!!!!!!owwww cate!!!!your a sweetheart!!!!!!!!!:grouphug:

I wish i saw my self like a hour glass shape and not just a strange not normal shape!!!!:troll:


I KNOW i must EAT MORE VEGGIES I KNOW REALLY I DO!Some times i cant be bothered , others we are really broke to go shopping until next pay time so i make whatever is in the fridge.....Well today i was going to make spaghetti but im not,it will be green peas with carots!I googled peas and its about 100 cals for 100 grms.So its ok.Im not going to add lots of oil only a tbls for me,No bread either!!!!no cheese!!Think im going to be good again today!Well i should be after all the holiday eating!

I noticed yesterday that i havent been drinking nay water.I mean i think i might have had 1 glass each day over the last week.Thats really bad.So i had 5 glasses yesterday from 5 pm until bedtime.!!!

I weighed again today,i want to keep a close eye on my weight until im 76,6 again so i will be getting on the scales every day till then.I was 78,1.Still not smoking regular cigarettes,only my e-cigarrete, its great!I had onbly one puff of a normal one a few days ago and although i DID like the taste of it it really hurt me on my chest...Strange....So all is good.

We went to the center of Athens this morning , cause i had to go clean the building nad my husband took Mario to the national zoo.Well its really not a zoo.Its a big garden in the center with ducks and parotts and turtles.That all.But marios loved it!!!!A big peacock came and ate a nut from his hand!!!We came home a litle while ago and marios is sleeping.

All of these days his program has been destroyed and he sleeps at 3 am.....wakes up noon.....so hope today we will get things back on track for him too....


So i am going to sit here on the internet enjoy me ALONE time...AAAHHH i havent had any of that for quite some time!!!Then i'll go cook!

A im making PIZZA for my husband tonight...Not going to have any.i found out that its 250 per slice....Well what can i do?????some things need sacrifice!!!


As for tomorows night out,,,,,,dancing????I have to be really drunk to do that!!!I am really shy!SPecially dancing infront of my husband....Probably you'll think im a nut case for feeling like that!!!!I still dont know if my mum can come over to babysit , i will know later on....WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR if we do go??

I USED to be a night club girl 100percent..I mean i used to REALLY GO OUT EVERY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY with my girlfriens drink dance the lot...But after Marios was born it all stoped and i feel as we say here in greece like a fly in the milk now!!!Nervous just speaking about it!!!!SEE you later!

And ya know what? I am gonna do the same!!!! We have sooooooooooo much food still that needs eating and i mean loads. Chocolates, sweets, turkey, ham, cheeses, pate, crisps, dips etc etc etc BUT you have made me want to get back to my healthy eating. I am going to count the calories for everything that goes into my mouth. I think i will aim for 1500 rather than 1200 for now but i am going to count everything. You, my darling friend have made me want to do that. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!
