Ok so here's my post as a newbie:
I am so glad i joined this forum as i desperately need the motivation.. at least now i have a place to vent! I dont like to talk about my diet with friends and family because sometimes they pull u down instead of pushing u forward.
Its really difficult to eat properly in our kind of society, its family based and we gather more than once a week.
Since ive been married, now i have 2 families! I started gaining weight right after i got married.. i was 65kgs (around 145pounds) and 2yrs later just when i got pregnant i was 90kgs (just over 200pounds)!!
To make things worse.. my excess weight affected my pregnancy.. i had early gestational diabetes all thru my pregnancy and had severe back problems..
Unfortunately i cudnt do anything about it at the time.. until i had my baby.. and now that my baby is a year old.. my husband is bugging me for another child... hehe.. i do too.. coz our son is lonely..
So this time around i want to do it right!! I want to lose the excess weight before i get pregnant again.. This time im dead serious.. I dont want to do this for stupid reasons like trying to be sexy or anything.. i just want to be healthy.. i dont want to have diabetes... i want to live and enjoy my children.. So
I promised myself these things to help me kickstart:
1- Sleep and wake up early... to boost my energy thru the day
2- No Yo Yo dieting or pills or any fast fad diets.. pure and simple healthy eating
3- Exercise for an hour at least 5 days a week.. until im drenched in sweat

So far ive started almost ten days ago.. im doing really well.. ive even hired a personal trainer to come to my home and converted one of the extra bedrooms into a mini home gym.
Im gonna be weighing myself on a weekly basis..

I would love to hear from any of you.. and be glad to be anyones diet buddy..
Currently im 89kgs (about 199pounds) and my target is 65kgs (145pounds) so i need to lose over 50pounds
*******************************************************

Now ive decided to write a weight loss diary.. just to keep myself motivated and see my progress and perhaps read this at the end of all this smile and be proud of myself.

Started on 19 Oct (Day 1) >>> progress till today 30 Oct (Day 12):

First day was super motivated.. i ate 3 healthy meals and 2 very light healthy snacks to keep my energy level high.. Didnt do much exercise except dancing around my home gym with my toddler..
Day 2-Day 4 same plan as the first day with eating 5times a day, walked around some shopping malls.. checked my weight im down half a kilo.. good so far without much exercise!
Day 5-7 Stuck to the same eating plan.. just messed up once though at my family's for dinner.. but thank god i hired that personal trainer the next day.. we did warmup + cardio + floor exercises + crunches + cool down/stretches all in 1.5hr
Day 8 No trainer today.. but i went to my gym.. blasted some music and danced til i was drenched in sweat..
Day 9 Personal training again... did some cardio + weight training + crunches..
Day 10 Ouch my body hurts!! But surviving.. and still motivating myself
Day 11 Had a huge lunch today but i had soup for dinner to redeem myself!

.... and finally..
Day 12.. will keep u posted at the end of the night on what happens:gnorsi:

Day 12 (30 Oct)
Woke up a bit late.. all my muscles are aching but managed to control my meals.. and walked on the treadmill for almost an hour. A friend came over at night to chill out.. ended up eating some take out.. thank god i had worked out earlier in the day. Just had 1 sandwich.
 
Day 13 (31Oct)
A verrrrrrrrry bad day, my son is sick with a cough and runny nose and has been groggy all day. My father in law is in the ICU.. i feel bad for my hubby is worried sick about his dad.
I pigged out twice today, coz of all thats happening + pms.
God help me.
 
Day 14 (1 Nov)
Crappy day.. its that time of the month.. didnt feel like exercising.. but thank god my eating was ok.. although i had some sweets to satisfy my cravings
 
Day 15 (2 Nov)
I weighed myself and i actually gained weight!... ive been snacking like crazy and no exercise. I'll hit the treadmill today and ill walk fast for an hour.

Well you better get in the mood, missy. Weight loss is serious business. Get busy, woman. The cake didn't kill your day, not allowing calorie room for it did.
 
It's Nov 9... ive been messing up with food.. but i used the treadmill a few times.. my trainer is coming back tomorow.. and ive decided to get one of those diet food delivery services.. gonna look at a few of those before i pick one..
