Good eats... at least, they once were.

I always wanted to experience a manic episode... I think I may have come close enough in real life though :)

Well done on the healthy day!
 
It can be fun, but it can also be really irritating. Like, sometimes I get really angry for no reason, or I'm stuck at home and want to do something but at the same time I don't want to do anything at all and I just get really anxious and antsy. I used to get like, hysterical at night sometimes because after I got really manic I would fall into a really deep depression (suicidal ideation, hallucinations, severe anxiety included) All in all, it pretty much sucked. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, let alone a friend.

Anywho... I hit 212.6 pounds today!! THAT'S 20 FREAKING POUNDS!!! YAY!!! I feel like I need to celebrate. No gorging for me! I think I want to go clothes shopping with my mom. I'll bug her about it tomorrow. :D

I did the treadmill today for 30 minutes on a 4% incline.

I have to go to bed now. :(

Byes!!:hurray:
 
You have reached your 20 pound mark. No matter what difficulties arise from now, you WILL make it to your goal, because you have come this far! Congratulations, I am so proud of you. You have put in a lot of effort and it has paid off. Whoa! 4% incline! Way to go!
 
haha... All of this weight loss and stuff has made me more aware of just how many calories are in certain foods. I decided to indulge in some of my McD's favorites today, but now I work out how many calories I want to use on each food. I had a whole bunch left since it was my first meal (I know... tsk tsk for not eating breakfast. I didn't wake up early enough, so there. :)) and I got a 10 piece nugget and a medium fry. 855 calories. So tonight for dinner I had a lean cuisine (the best one ever! Salisbury steak and mac and cheese! 280 calories.) :) So I think I'm doing pretty okay for today. I know, not the most nutritious so far, but I'll work in some good stuff later. :)

Oh yeah, 209.4!!
Kickass, man! I think the weight is coming off fast right now because I have so much to lose. I think it'll slow down once I have less to lose. Ah well. :)

<3

Thank you glitter!

VACATION. Dreaded by dieters everywhere, mine comes this friday. No internet, no fitday, no forum. AHHHHH!!! :(

I think since my maintainance level is 2300, I might go up to 2000, maybe 2100 so I have plenty of room for all the favorites (crab legs, fried shrimp, bologna sandwiches, SALTWATER TAFFY!!!)

I swear, that cinnamon saltwater taffy will be my downfall.

I did really well today, even though I had a 3 egg omelette (ham and cheese) YUM!

I have learned that if you deprive yourself of your favorites, you're setting yourself up for failure. Indulge, but in smaller portions than you would usually have.


Haha, I finally have advice to give! :D

Anyway, I'll talk to you guys later. (before I leave, hopefully)

Throw all of your vacation advice at me! I NEED HELPPPPPP!

<3:coolgleamA:

Good idea with the calorie level. Remember, maintaining is going to be your triumph, I know you can do it! I like your attitude, I agree about indulging in the small things if you really feel like it.

A good thing about vacation is TIME. Yeah, you may say, "time to eat!!" but rather I say "time to explore"..... walk, walk everywhere and explore! It will burn off your holiday foods.... plus it's pretty near effortless!

:waving:
 
haha... thanks. I'm going to see if I can get someone to walk on the beach with me.

I downloaded Fitday pc! Hopefully it helps to still be keeping an eye on my calories.

I just did the treadmill, but instead of upping the speed (which I can't do for very long) I upped the incline- 6% incline for 30 minutes. 178 CALORIES BURNED!! :D

Does anyone here like the band AFI (afireinside)? Oh man, I am in love with Davey Havok. He's dreamy. The only guy I would ever consider dating. Seriously, man. Wow.

Oh yeah, if you didn't know, yes, I am a lesbian. :svengo:
Sooooo... I hope that doesn't change anything (although I'm almost positive it won't :))

Ha... I think the 209.4 weight reading wasn't accurate.
:)
Byes:willy_nilly:
 
haha... Okay, silence. Didn't expect that, but okay... :banghead:
 
Hehe, you're just paranoid :p

Sup my lesbian friend!

I looooooove AFI! How about 30 second to mars?

Don't you pay to get Fitday PC? Well done on the 6% incline! Remember, you don't always need to do one steady speed all the way, go faster for a minute at a time with 3 mins slower inbetween each minute of faster. You can always up it from there too :)
 
Hey there you are doing soo well. A number of things:

a) conggrats on the weight loss!! your doing great!
b) that is some really good advice. I need to be taking that (I had 5 tacos for dinner last night and a crap load of ice cream AND a macaroon)
c) no worries about the lesbian business. I have considered myself bisexual for a loooong time. Though I've only dated guys to this point, I don't think I'd have a problem dating a girl.

That being said. Which celeb do yuo find the hottest? I have a HUGE crush on Elisha Cuthbert. I have her as my desktop background at home and at work (I tell everyone at work its for motivational purposes haha)

Hey!
I'm Annie. I'm 16 years old (17 in june) and this is my new weight loss diary.
I have schizoaffective disorder, which includes bipolar disorder and hallucination. I take 5 different medications, and currently it is very under control. I have finally reached a stage in my life where I can focus on ME.
Since the end of elementary school I have always been a little overweight, however, since they started experimenting with my medication, my weight has ballooned to around 235. I lost 5 pounds by switching regular soda with diet, but now I have realized that I have to do more for myself. I am at risk for type 2 diabetes, and I seriously need to change that.

It's only day 3 and I haven't achieved any results, but I know I have to keep pushing to keep my willpower up so I can eventually reach my goal: having a healthy BMI and finally fitting back in to a size medium.

I have been exercising 1-2 hours a day and watching what I eat, but sometimes I cave in and eat those extra fishsticks and (homeade) mashed potatoes like I did today. But I just ended up working harder, walking on the treadmill for 2 hours. (I walked an hour at a time. I walked an hour before dinner which I would have been satisfied with, but then I loaded up on dinner and decided that I should walk off a few extra calories.)

Does any one have any advice for me? I really don't like counting calories, so I have tried to stay away from that. It's entirely too complicated for me, and takes up wayyy too much time during the day.

I really hope to get some support on my weight loss journey.

Just remember...Time... it takes a lot of time. I came from 179 pounds (last recorded weight) and I'm at 111 now. (I'm 5'4")
There is going to be plateaus that you just want to scream. I remember getting to 150 and not being able to budge the scale for a whole month!! I was soooo frustrated becuase I had been on my diet near perfect, and no results.
Something that helped me at the start was before every meal I drank a whole bottle of water to help me realize when I was full. I also stopped eating in front of the t.v. for a long time and counted,weighed, and measured EVERYTHING.
I also think my body takes awhile to register "IM FULL" so I take my time eating now instead of just plowing through my food. I rarely ever get to that point now where I get STUFFED and feel uncomfortable. (Hey the other times were Thanksgiving and Christmas...so backoff! =P)

Another thing that really helped me was support from my family..I had my mom changing her lifestyle too as well as me, so that made it A LOT easier..and a little competitive =P

This site really helps too....We all have bad days ..and binge days...but once it's over it's over.. Every day is a new day.
That next day you need to just not get discouraged but instead say, "Ok, I didn't do the best yesterday...so I'm going to sure I make this right today"

I wish you a lot of luck!!!!
:hurray:

Thank you. I'm actually not sure how horrible my day was today. I didn't have anything most of the day because people said they were going to take me to eat and then they kept bailing on me. So basically I had 2 fat free beef hot dogs (50 cal each) and a string cheese (80 cal) I really didn't mean to not eat, I was talking (complaining :)) to my parents a lot, and they were seriously annoyed at me. Soooo... we went to dinner at taco bell. I had 2 gorditas with just chicken and cheese, a piece of plain flatbread, and a cheesy roll up (Holy Crap that was amaaaaaaaazing. 200 cal.) I didn't even get up to my minimum calorie goal today. I got to 1050 cal, but I tallied it up too late, and I'm not hungry, so I'm just not gonna eat. :banghead: I don't know. Not good? I know that. Kind of good? I honestly don't know. GAH.

Anywayyyyy... Vacation time tomorrow! :party:

Gah. Wish me luck!
 
Hey hey! I'm home!! :hurray:
I kept track of all of my food pretty well during my vacation, but my poor computer messed up and I didn't have any way to log them (other than just counting and honestly, I'm not gonna mess up my vacation with that.) I just logged everything in on fitday and I did pretty damn well! I logged all of my days except for the day I went to the buffet restaurant (It's a tradition) but even then all I had was crab legs (no butter), half a plate of penne alfredo (with scallops and crab meat :D) and a few fried shrimp. I had a couple of spoonfuls of soft serve, then we went to an ice cream place after dinner and I had a small lime slush. DELICIOUS.

Did anyone else notice that they redid fitday? When did that happen? haha.
ANYWAY... I had pizza tonight (cheese with ham) and I still stayed under my limit! I'm thinking of a popsicle, or maybe a fudge pop (if I can find them). I don't know, maybe I'll just go all out and have an ice cream sandwich (140 cal)... Hmm.. I'll think about it.Thanks for all your support guys!

Oh, and, funny thing, I actually lost over a pound at the beach! 206.4!

YAY!!
