Hello everyone..My name's Katie, I'm new here, i feel wriiting in a forum will help me with my weight loss by having motivation and support! I'm feeling optimistic :) Some of this may be rambles so i apoligise ahead of time. I'm a senior year of highschool and I want to feel good and look good for graduation. When i'm feeling good about myself, my whole personality and mood shifts completely in a positive aspect and I want to keep that mood with me wherever I go. My body type doesn't do well with even the slightest bit of extra weight and i'm not feeling too specactular right now.

I'm just below 5'5" and weigh 152. My current goal weight is 130 so every lb really does count and i hope to acheive this by the end of summer. I think i'm going on a low-carb route as sugars and carbs are very addicting for me. I'm a pescatarian (meanings i don't eat meat, but i do eat fish, eggs, dairy etc) I don't do well with too much diary as well and suffer from acne so eve if i'm not trying to loose weight i still must watch what i eat as junk food directly effects the quality of my skin.

Reasons to lose weight and keep it off:
feel good
look good
old clothes will fit again!
gain more confidence in my search for a job

Todays food journal:
Brunch- 2egg ommelette with lots of spinach, broccolli, mushrroms and onions. Topped with flax seeds. I also ate part of a pay day candy bar..not good.

Lunch- wasn't hungry from brunch so i had green tea with honey

After school meal: 1/2 cup dried cranberries, 1 piece of whole grain toast with jelly, 1 piece of whole grain toast with cheese, finished the pay day candy bar (not good again)

Snack: half piece of whole grain toasted bread dry

Feel free to comment, sorry if i've been long.
 
Oh i forgot to mention i've also been going on morning runs with helps with my blood circulation, skin, as well as overall mood. The only thing that is hard is the motivation
 
WELCOME HUN!!! YOU CAN DO IT...I"M ROOTING FOR YA!!! :party:

THAT sounds super HEALTHY what you ate topped with FLAXSEEDS....you are on your way!!!
 
thanks for the encouragement!! i'm feeling pretty good. i also stepped on the scale and i realized i don't way 152 i weigh 150 which is a small difference but good feeling, i hadn't weighed myself in awhile. today has been pretty successful.

workout:
45 minutes of mostly jogging and some walking to cool down on the beach

so far my diet for today:
-breakfast: a basket full of fresh strawberries from the farmers market + a handful of almonds
-lunch: small cup of cauliflower soup + half an avocado/veggie sandwhich on whole wheat bread
-snacks: 2 cups of green tea, small handful of almonds, small handful of cashews, 1/4 cup dried cranberries, small piece of swiss chocolate :)

Today was good i think:

breakfast: a handful of almonds, aloe vera juice, green tea

lunch: handful of almonds, veggie dish i made (spinach, onion, brocolli, cauliflower, zuchinni) green tea

snack: 1 cup of cherries

dinner: veggie salad with sweet potatos & 1 dolma(greek leaves stuffed with rice)
dessert: 2 dates, a dark chocolate truffle :), and some kombucha drink

activities: 30 min yoga video, walked around a bit, danced a bit at a show


i feel like i'm doing well, but i don't know if i'm really loosing weight, i feel like i'm just being healthy. everything i eat is healthy, but i still eat to the point of being full

goals: get out of my house more and stay active! today also marked my second week being 100% marijuana free..i'm trying to make it at least a month 100% clean. i used to smoke a lot, but this year i've really cut down on it, though sometimes on the weekends and i started smoking more frequently so completely cutting it out has helped me stay motivated :)
 
Thats GREAT that you've maintained to stay away for a while from the "MJ"!!!

That's HELP with STOPPING the Munchies at least!!! :drool5: LOL...KEEP it up though,
YOUR DIET Sounds tasty and HEALTHY and through TIME you will SEE the results of your efforts......just give it time! :)
 
aw thanks for the support guys! :) yeah the no munchies part totally helps and it makes me want to exercise more. Gotta keep the endorphins flowing!! i was also pretty sore from the yoga yesterday which is a good feeling cos i know i got something out of it!

today was semi-successful and i also went to acupuncture in the morning which just helps with everything all together and got some herbs to help with digestion and skin problems :)

exercise:
ran up and down the stairs for a bit (sad, i know but better than nothing)

diet:
-breakfast: 2 egg veggie ommelette with homemade salsa

-lunch: half a cantelope

-dinner: huge indian cuisine for mothers' day: rice, garbanzo bean dish, potato veggie dish, fried veggie dish, yogurt dish, garlic bread(bad i know but only 1 piece), and rice pudding which pushed it a little too far, i was stuffed, but it was absolutely delicious!

-snacks: hot chocolate(bad girl), half a cup of raisins, 1/2 cup cranberries, tea

not shabby but not great! goal for tomorow: get up before school for a morning run!!
 
hay there, dont worry about running up and down the stairs sometimes i do the same myself its really good exercise for your legs and gets your heart pumping! :)
 
thanks, haha i know every little bit helps right? and the field i normally run on has soccer games all saturday and sunday :(

today i feel has been good..yay!

exercise: woke up early and went for a run for about 40 minutes inlcuding my warm up and cool down, + i got a lot of random walking in today :)

breakfast: aloe vera juice mixed with green juice and greenpowder and a large handful of xtra large rainsins (i was on the go)

snacks: green tea & a handful of almonds, raisins, 2 small sample cups of coffee black

late lunch: mixed veggies (brocolli, onion, garlic, cauliflower, mushrooms, green peppers, zucchini) & tofu i sauteed in grapeseed oil

dinner: trout fried with corn meal, spinach, and more raisins

i'm doing well, but it's discouraging when i don't see results. i don't even want to go on a scale. blah

ps. 16th day marijuana free :)

Glad to hear that today was quite a good day, i love it when you have good days, it always makes bad days better when you think that tomorrow will be a good day :)
 
exactly! today's been good :)

I started my 3-day apple cleanse today and i jsut finished my 4th apple! you're supposed to eat at least 5-6 apples every day and drink only water. and then you finish it off with 2 oz olive oil. i've been a little lower on energy but i feel good doing a cleanse!

exercise: went for a good run/walk this morning.

i'm going to take it easy on exercise the next few days on the cleanse
 
thats a good idea to stop exercise while on the cleanse as you on very low cals you dont want to become dizzy and light headed if you exercise, well done on doing the cleanse! last year i died the master cleanse for my birthday and lost about 7lbs!
 
yeah i didn't exercise today but i felt a bit on an urge to when i woke up early this morning. i might go for a run tomoow morning if i wake up early enough considering how strong i feel. wow that's awesome kotki you lost 7 lbs! how long were you on the cleanse for? i kind of want to try to master cleanse but i'm afraid of my teeth rotting..

second day on the apple fast: today was easier. i don't even feel weak at all, i feel normal/good and a little on the lighter side which is a good feeling :) i ate 5 1/2 apples yesterday and 4 so far today. i also started both days with warm lemon honey water for a little extra cleanse and i'm not hungry at all, my appetite even seems reduced w/ less cravings.
 
3rd day on apple cleanse: i feel good and light! i stepped on the scale this morning and i had lost over 5 lbs since the beginning of the cleanse. It's probably just the water weight but i have been drinking a lot of water. I also started my day with warm lemon water then warm honey water and I'll finish my day with a few teaspoons ev olive oil. The last two days i ate 5 1/2 apples each day so i will probably end up doing the same for today. tomorow i think i'm just going to eat fruits and vegetables so i can ease back into my normal meals..I also graduate exactly one month from today!! ah so very exciting and nerveracking at the same time.
 
Thats a really good plan to ease you body back to normal eating again you dont want to shock it! your doing really great with this well done you! Good luck with all the stuff you need to do for your graduation :)
 
ah thank youuu but i JUST cheated. i didn't finish my cleanse through the whole day and ended eating veggies cooked in oil with avocado & a bunch of raisins. there is also a cookie that is completely eyeing me in the kitchen..ah. i usually let myself eat more or something good on fridays.

i also went to nordstroms today and was trying on clothes, but i just left with nothing and feeling really bad about myself. those mirrors are horrible. i only like myself from the front angle all the rest looked way worse than i thought i looked. it was really depressing. note to self: don't go in nordstroms dressing rooms. the truth hurts. :(
 
okay so i jut had a friday night binge, wasn't feeling very good about myself today...and it was my friends bday

2 large cookies
i made 3/4 potato worth of homemade chips with ketchup
lots of trailmix(m&m's peanuts, raisins, almonds)
1 1/2 pieces whole wheat toast with butter
a couple mini ginger cookies
small piece of cake

this was ontop of all the other food i ate earlier. but it's friday so i'm trying not to stress it. tomorow is going to be a good day. gah.
