I Don't Understand About Diamonds...

Diamonds, if you keep losing at this rate, by this time next year you will be just about at your goal. 8 pounds a month is really good, but not impossible to keep doing. You can do this. As time goes on it will get harder to lose, but all the skills that you learn along the way will give you the tools to keep going.

Stress can be one of the toughest things to deal with, with weight loss. What is stressing you out?
 
Find a way to celebrate those 8lbs! :party: But be sure that is not related to food. Do some early Holiday shopping and treat yourself to something small- maybe some new earrings or ???. For every 10 lbs I lose I am treating myself to a massage. When I lose 25- maybe a facial and a pedicure!
 
way to go ohdiamonds, an 8lb weight loss in a month in good progress, in fact, it's the doctor recommended amount(2lbs a week). Just keep doing what your doing now and watch the weight drop. congrats.

I had to respond to this because it occurred to me how different men and women think(or maybe it's just me). How when you lose weight you treat yourself to something like what you listed above, where as I am dreading having to buy new clothes. I hate shopping and I'm cheap, damn me for being a man lol.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to get on chat with you this weekend. I've just been so stressed lately and I don't want to come here to release it because than I feel like i'm complaining to much. I will catch you sometime though.

Hey diamonds! Congrats on the 8lbs! in one month that is a hell of a lot of weight, especially if you have had a few bad days :) Way to go on sticking to your guns about your healthy eating when you're stressed! just tell yourself: Eating fries isn't going to take this stress and frustration away. If anything it will just ADD to it because you'll get mad at yourself for cheating after. Just keep things in perspective. You can do it!! :D

Whoa, I never really thought about the fact that if i keep up this weight loss I'll be at my goal in a year. I'm already learning or shall I say my body is learning. I'm so much better with cravings. I RARELY have them. I just hope I don't give up when the whole harder to lose weight thing kicks in. I guess I'll have you guys to come to when I feel unmotivated though.

People at work are stressing me out, family matters, my own dreams slowly being squashed. Bleh.

I'm trying to save money for Christmas. Giving presents makes me feel good so hopefully that'll be somewhat of a reward for me.

I actually lost 5 lbs in one week and was back and forth the rest of the weeks cause of cheating =/. Oh and I'm a girl and I hate shopping with a passion. It's weird because my boyfriend will want to go to the mall or just shopping in general and he's almost literally dragging me through the hallway to the door to go shopping. Sad really...lol.

Anyway, thank you all SO much. Your support means loads to me!
 
I hear ya on the boyfriend front, mine pretends not to like shopping but then really enjoys trying on stuff and buying himself pressies ;)! I like having new clothes I just don't really like having to try them on for hours and seeing me in the mirrors and confirming that I do nt fit into the stuff I want the way I want to fit into it!
But as I become a smaller size I am starting to enjoy it more and I am kind of giddy with shopping for some new trousers once I am home for christmas. But I still have like 6 pounds to go before that :)!

8 pounds is amazing, sometimes our bodies let go of a chunk all together and then not for a few weeks, at least that is how it usually goes with me. I lose the 2 weeks after my period relatively well and then nothing at all the 2 weeks before the next period... once I figured this out I was a much happier camper, being able to tell myself, it is ok not to lose even when you work hard because in a week it will go down!

Have a great week, Camy
 
I haven't been on here in forever and I'm sorry to leave you all hanging. I've been having really rough times with my boyfriend. Not to mention my dad has prostate cancer and is getting surgery on the 11th. Plus, I have other family problems going on and work is just becoming too much. On top of all that I have to maintain a healthy diet, heh. I'll try my best to keep you guys updated on my diet and other things and i'm sooooo sorry for not stopping by your journals. I feel horrible. I haven't forgotten about you all and I hope you haven't forgotten me.
 
There's my girl!!! :) I'm so sorry to hear about things with your boyfriend and your pa, and the fam....I hope things start to look up soon! I hope your dad's surgery goes off without a hitch<3 Keep your head up girl!
 
'Course we haven't forgotten you. Sorry to hear about the issues going on at home. We're pulling for you and yours.

Come back in whenever you have take care of what you need to take care of first...
 
No need to apologize, Diamonds. This is your journal, so it's all about you. That won't prevent a diary hijacking from time to time, but it's still yours. :D

As Cabbie says, we're all pulling for ya. :iagree:
 
Hey, Diamonds. I haven't seen you around all week. I hope that everything is going well. Keep up updated. :seeya:
 
So, I figured out the recipe for losing weight. It's a little word called STRESS. I've been eating about once a day, with maybe one snack on the side because my stomach has been so upset from all the stress. The one thing I do eat is complete junk (full of carbs). However, I've lost weight doing...nothing. It's amazing.

Nothing new going on really.
 
Hey, Diamonds. I'm glad to hear about the weight loss, but stress is a killer in the long run. What are your ways of handling it? I know that working out sometimes works for some people. Not so much for me, but I dont' have a lot of stress. Meditation (nothing structured, just my own thing) works for me when I'm real stressed.
 
Bleh, I haven't posted in so long. Things are slowly looking up but i'm not getting my hopes up. My diet has pretty much stayed the same. Not eating as much. I don't know if I've lost weight or not because I haven't weighed myself..haven't much cared to.

I'm stuck in this place of getting excited about losing weight and thinking it'll never happen. I'm conflicted about a lot of things to do with my weightloss.
 
Diamonds! I'm so glad you checked in. I've not been as good about checking in as I had been, but I'm back and kicking ass, as of now. :smash:

:party:
 
Wow, how sad is it that things got so out of control that I couldn't even post here. Life has been nothing but busy.

However....I'm taking two months of this summer to go on an extreme strict diet. So, I guess I'll see you guys in summer. I wonder if any of the people I talked to still write journals...tinysara, trops, cabbie, post-petite....anybody out there?
 
So I officially start my strict diet tomorrow. It's going to be a very intense two months...

Since my tracker has magically disappeared I'll probably be making a new one tomorrow.
 
I'm here, nice to see you! I'l be around. So, what's this diet? It sounds ominous. I hope you aren't doing something dangerous...
 
Been on my diet for 2 days and already wanting bread so bad. I never really have much to report on because I don't count calories. I have yet to work out either, so we'll see how that goes at the end of the week and if I can actually get my ass out of bed early enough to get to the gym.

I need to quit with the laziness and start doing what I need to do to loose more weight.

I weighed myself today and I've already lost 2 lbs, but that's most likely water weight and what not.
 
heya, just thought i should pass by and say thanks for stopping by my diary :)

i just wanted to say don't even think twice about the classes just join in! i'm the biggest person at my gym but i go in do my thing and when i leave i feel so proud of myself because everyday i workout/eat right brings me a little closer to my goal.

if your working out just make sure your getting enough food in your body to help fuel it. all the best hun xoxo
