Get Sexy?

Hey everyone!

I joined this forum a few months ago but never posted anything, so I guess I'll just introduce myself now.

I'm 18, English, and still go to school... turns out there's not much to say lol xD.
I've always been a little chubbier than everyone else, but I never really took notice until I was about 16; and I became very insecure. However, most of my weight is on my hips and butt (in case you hadn't already guessed?) and a lot of people tell me not to lose weight since I do get compliments for my shape, but I'm personally not comfortable or happy - and I'm loosing weight for me, no one else. I also have really bumpy cellulite...y.. thighs.

I'm about 5'6, maybe more, and weigh 11 stone right now, I aim to be 10 stone, but ideally 9.5... though that does seem a bit too skinny! And hopefully before the new year I'll reach my goal.

Current 'Workout' :S consists of 15-20 minute jog, squats, lunges, kick backs, sit ups and stuff with some light dumbbells - but I need motivation! I used to run and workout everyday to try and lose weight, but now just a few times a week :< So hopefully posting this will help if I have people spurring me on? Hehe.

I'll try to update everyday with my food diary starting tomorrow! and I'll weigh myself every week.

Might upload some pictures soon, not sure you'd want to see them though xD

•tldr; I weight 11 stone, wanna lose a stone - and need motivation.

Well done getting the courage to post :)

if you start posting your food and exercise in detail each day then other members will have more information to help make suggestions. I can usually help when it comes to exercise but there are other members who should be able to help more with your diet. :)
 
Welcome little school girl from England.
At 11 stone and 5'6, I'm pretty sure you look amazing but if you aren't comfortably with your body then you have thee power to change it.
Your work out routine sounds pretty hard core.
Good luck with your weight loss. Hopefully youll get the motivation here that you need.
 
Welcome back and its good you are going to have your own diary. I think its a great way to stay focussed on your goals.

Your program looks pretty smart though i can't visualise what 11 stone is anymore since work in kilograms. Next time i check in i will consult my book so i know what you mean exactly.

Anyway, sounds like you are gonna make a good start and we'll be with you all the way. :hurray:
 
Trusylver - Thank you! Haha yeah I have been brave, I'm always scared to post things like this since when I come back a few months later it makes me cringe :p
I'll try and post all of what I've eaten and how much exercise I've done each evening, and I'd love any tips :D

caffeinehigh - Thanks for the welcome ^^ Hardcore? Haa I doubt it, I think I have a problem in that I rest too long between exercises because I'm lazy, but hopefully I can change that~ & likewise, I already feel more motivated :D

fortyfour - Hi! I agree, I think seeing how much I'm actually eating and exercising should give me a bit of a push to try harder. 11 stone is about 70kg, and my ideal is 60kg, but I don't know if I'll go that far. Thank you so much :D It's great to have people on my side :)

Good luck with your journey.

One little tip I found useful (and still try to follow) is that I enjoy variety of fruit. I try to have 1 each of apple, banana and orange per day.

I love fish too. It's a good idea to keep an eye on your calories from carbs/protein/fats too. The overally calories are important but so is the ratio of carb:protein:fat.

Good luck.
 
Thanks Iain! I don't do the weekly shop in my house, but I'll ask my mum to start buying s variety, since all we seem to get in this house is bananas or kiwis xD Im actually more of a veg person though, I snacked on carrots in the past but someone told me theyre a bit sugary and I should try something green... maybe I'll try celery :)

Hey Sunflower, thanks a lot! :D

EDIT: ALSO! does anyone have any tips for weak knees? mine are terrible, ever since I was young they've always clicked when I bend, and sometimes they feel awkward when I workout :( should I try cod liver oil or something?
 
Normally the first stop with knee problems should be a physiotherapist to make sure there are no major issues and they will also tell you where any specific muscle imbalance problems may be. I also know as a teenager you may not have easy access to one so one of the key things you need to do is strengthen all of the muscles which effect the knee making sure not to strengthen one more than the others. the muscles involved are the Quadriceps (front of thigh), hamstrings (back of thigh) and the gastrocnemeus (one of your calf muscles).



Edit: I just noticed the exercises in your workout, you are strong on quadriceps exercises (squats, lunges) but could do with adding a specific hamstring exercise into the mix.

Trusylver, thanks for the advice - would hip raises work? i have always meant to talk to my GP about it, next time I go for a check up I'll make certain that I do :)

I don't know that soy milk is better for you than cow's milk. You need some calcium in your diet - about 1000mg per day for long term bone health (equivalent to about 2.5 cups of milk i think). Now is the time to be paying attention to this. Of course there other sources than diary but dairy is the easiest. There's really nothing wrong with skim milk. Where as i think soy milk has added sugar (plus its yucky lol)


Its good you like vegies. A lot of people stumble on that one. I like them too but when i am not on a diet, i also find it hard to get them in my diet.

I've had the same kind of knee-clicking since I was about 10/11. I used to run cross country at primary school so wonder if that was a factor?

I do get knee bursitus preiodically and am starting to think running 2 miles (often rough/hilly) as a kid didn't help much. It's a shame because I much prefer running to using the elliptical trainer.

I've never known anything to help so I've just lived with it. I know my squats are deep enough when I feel the 'clicks' ;)

Hip raises are an abdominal exercise although there are many variations they are not a hamstring exercise.

are you training in a gym or at home ? if your at home what equipment do you have access to ?
 
Aaah, it's been a month since I posted :( I got down to below 10.5 stone, but I kinda fell off the wagon but now Im back to where I started :( Thought I would post here again since that seemed to help me get back on track :/
