Today I woke up at 7 am with my parents to go out for a jog around the jogging area near my house.

Last night, as I calculated my BMI, I was right on the fence between healthy and overweight. Although I'm no longer in the overweight section, I want to move to the middle of healthy.

I took moderate jogging steps along the way and I used the equipment provided to push myself more. It feels great to sweat, I don't really mind the smell either. =)

Beginning of this year, I was about 150 lbs, totally overweight. I began to cut down my rice (being asian, rice plays a pretty big part in the common food). My rice was cut down to half plate serving, the other half filled with dishes such as veggies.

I think within months, I lost about 13 lbs just by cutting down rice.

Now I'm on a new mission, to cut down another 9 lbs. I am sick of the 31 inches waist line, I'm tired of flabby arms, huge thighs and wide hips that makes dressing up a chore.

My rice is cut down to a quarter of the plate now.

I'm also sick of my bust getting the attention (LOL) from unwanted males. So in hope that when I reduce weight, I will be able to reduce bust size too.

That's it for now. Update soon!

Hopefully I will be able to get some new friends around here .. :blush5:

I hear ya on that... I'm 36DD and hoping that my weight loss will help those babies go down! LOL. How tall are you / how old are you? By reading your first entry, we seem like we are in a similar situation. I'm 19, 5'4". I also was 150 lbs earlier this year. So maybe we can relate :)

Check out my diary! "Inspired, motivated, and ready" ... I'll keep up on yours!

Good luck!

I'm twenty two about five feet two inches. I'm asian so I guess I'm shorter. Hehe. I"ll check your progress too! I totally hate unwantef attention from people I don't want. It's very uncomfortable. .
 
Ah, I was not online the whole day of yesterday but I managed to get some running on my own without leaving the house. I just set my phone timer to 5 minutes and i kept running on one spot.

then the sweats come running. wee!!

i think i kind of overdid it for the past two days .. or no proper warm up .. now i have pain on both my knees .. the muscles hurt .. i'm walking up and down the stairs like an old lady now .. oh no...

this morning, i made some wholemeal bread dipped in egg with minimal oil .. yummy, keep me full up till now ..

the sister is making potatoes today .. her first attempt to ever cook anything .. and i love potato .. i know it's carbs .. but take away rice, don't take away my potatoes .. ah need to control ..

perhaps i should execute simpler exercise today .. nothing to do with using my knee muscles .. a bit is better than none right?
 
I'm back after being MIA for a while .. currently drinking my cereal grain breakfast. .

i'm back in campus dorm already and it's challenging .. there's no good food here, all of them are unhealthy in any way ..

so i'm struggling with wholemeal bread at the moment
 
Hi there. :)

One thin that might help is for you to register with one of the free sites like fitday.com or thedailyplate.com and start logging your food. That will help you learn what the calories and nutrients are in your food and you'll be better able to make good eating choices.

Good luck to you! :)

thank you for the tip!

i went to get lunch just now and these two guys started chuckling and laughing among themselves.. i felt self conscious cause they said something like .. " don't say that so loud " or " she'll know " or something liddat ..

i really hope they were not talking about my bust ...

i think i'm on PMS mode.. i just had lunch about an hour ago and i'm already craving for more stuff ..

will need to have my 15 mins jog later .. plus some additional workout ..
 
I just had half a palm full of potato chips from my friend and it taste so good, I'm tempted to take more, but however tempted I am, I also felt guilty about eating that few in the first place that I did some leg / tummy exercise for 10 mins

Mind over matter. I keep telling myself.

Has it ever happened to anyone else?
 
Oh all the time! :)

Chips are my weakness. I cannot have them or I will eat all of them. I simply can't walk away from chips. So good for you for stopping with the one handful.
 
Hey there! I am 5'2" as well ... 23 years old. Just recently lost almost 30 lbs ( give or take ) ... feel free to check out my diary.... i am down to 125...... and feeling awesome. have about 8-10 more lbs id like to lose... but right now focusing on muscle development and toning!


best of luck!!! Cutting back on the rice is a great idea!!! maybe switch to brown rice when you need those carbs!!! if you fill up on the veggies and protein... you will feel better and start seeing less bloating and a diff in no time!!! good luck!!!!!!!

I soo hear you too on the big boobz front. I am hoping mine would shrink (lol- funny choice of word, I guess) a lil bit with weight-loss but I need to start shedding first. I am stuck after losing 6 lbs.

Brown rice is a really good option. So is bulgar wheat. If you can find it where you live.

actually i dislike the taste of brown rice, i rather cut down to 1/4 of white rice ..

it's annoying to have big boobies lol .. i mean, naturally it's feminine but i want them a tad smaller .. so they won't look like truck headlights ..
 
ladies...... think about the opposite end of the spectrum here.....


i was a 36C in february.....



i barely fill out a 34 A now... lol



sucks just as bad im thinking!!!! i tried on all halloween costumes and they just sagged on my chest lol



why cant we all just be smack in the middle LOL
 
I'm looking forward to losing some in my boobs - I'd love to be able to wear cute lacy bras instead of the underwire support ones that I live with now. However, they aren't quite as "perky" as they used to be ... so I guess there's always a downside. :)
 
I just had lunch , half fist ful of rice with some tofu, potato and some soya thingy (vegetarian stall ). I predicted it would be spicy , as it was quite spicy two days ago so I decided to buy a cold drink.

I'm proud that I bought a bottle of plain cold water instead of those can or box drinks that I used to buy. :smilielol5: it's cheaper and get more fluid compared to the other more expensive and sweeter stuff.

These little "achievements" meant something to me.

Oh, the lunch today turned out non spicy. Ah.
 
Very good choice on water. Whenever I used to go out to eat, instead of just getting a bottle of water, I always felt like I had to get a glass of juice or something. Somehow it felt like such a waste to buy water instead of a cold drink. Now I just buy water or ask for tap water. Plus, I have realised that after you avoid refined sugar, juice (not fresh) tastes waaaaay too sweet.

Your lunch sounds yummy. Tofu, if cooked well, can be such a delight.

yup, exactly .. juice that you squeezed yourself from the original fruit does not taste like that at all .. i wonder how much sugar they include in ..

and yes, i understand about the water thingy too .. i used to think it's a waste to just order water but now i carry my own bottle in the bag .. so i can avoid unnecessary spending and temptation ..
