Aww you're so sweet for stopping by. I really do appreciate it. I actually went to the gym today (I told you, you were motivation!).

I did 7.4 miles on the bike and about 1 mile walking but that was because I was getting frustrated with that damn treadmill. I dropped something and so I had to stop and it just so happens that I pressed the wrong button and lost my stats...grr, but I still kept going.

Oh and cabbie you know me, I like to be dangerous lol. Naw just kidding, but what im doing you would probably consider a bit on the dangerous side. So, by the time I go to bed tonight I will have not slept for 35 hours and will have only eaten a salad. However, that's just today because i'm too pooped to even look at food. I'm actually suprised i'm able to type this right now, lol. Which is probably why i'm doing it NOW and not when i'm about to crash.

I so have the urge to go stand on the scale, but i'm not going to because I'll probably be very disappointed. I can't wait to weigh in at the end of this week when I've gone to the gym everyday. Hopefully I won't be too sore tomorrow so I can go do my workout. I'm planning on going at around 5 am and I'm for once excited to go...well I was excited to go today as well.

Thanks Cherry for keeping me motivated and thanks Cabbie for always being constant support.

Annnnndd it's time for me to go shower...BLAHHHHHH. :ack2: <----describes me perfectly right now.
 
Collette, you're a sweetheart! I really hope you watch what you are doing though, it sounds like you are running yourself ragged right now.
 
From reading your first post and seeing all your goals.. fears.. everything.. its just like me, and it really upset me that we have to feel like that.. even with our own significant other.. but you know what you can do this.. and with reading yours and everyone else's diary i hope to start something. im just so lost i dont even know where to start! well good luck and hope to be seeing more.

It's great that you're working out but don't let your diet get too strict! Sounds scary!

It's kind of a strict diet to begin with, well strict considering I have to cut out pretty much any carbohyrdates and carbohyrdates are what I love so...it's pretty hard. I'm definitely trying to be careful though.

Awww :blush5:. I think i'll do better today. I was just not tired for some reason yesterday...it was really odd. Usually when I work out, I end up not being hungry. It's crazy because from what I hear from everyone else it's suppose to be the opposite. Figures me, always have to be the opposite.

It does suck that we have to feel this way. I wasted 4 years of a relationship sitting on my couch. It upsets me that he's had to endure it and yet he's still supportive. What also makes me upset is that we haven't taken any pictures in the entire 4 years of our relationship. Bleh, but hopefully that'll all change now....well soon anyway. If you EVER need anyone to talk to about things and someone to help get you started i'm here and you can PM me anytime you want. It's nice to have someone to have things in common with. :D


About my day today: It's 5:45 a.m. and i'm still tired from yesterday, but i'm going back to sleep for another 2-3 hours, even though I already got 12 hrs of sleep. Anyway, sleep, then gym, then grocery store, then cleaning the house and possibly sometime in between all that I go to the hospital to pick my mom up. I'll update tonight on how the day went.

Thanks for stopping by guys! Ya'll are great. :grouphug:
 
So, today I slept for 18 hrs...yeahhh quite the opposite of what I did the other day. First thing I did when I woke up was go to the gym. Then I talked to my brother on the phone for like 2 hours and then went grocery shopping with the boyfriend. Felt pretty good standing in line for once...probably because I didn't have one thing of junk food on there. Other than that...nada.

Exercise:
-30 mins treadmill (1 mile)
-30 mins biking (8 miles)

Food as of 11:10 p.m.:
-Roasted chicken breast and a whole can of peas (if you can't tell already peas).
-Weight Watchers chocolate icecream bar (it's worth 2 points but I don't know how their program works and I only cared about how good it tasted).
-20 oz coffee with splenda and 1% milk.
-Apple with some gouda cheese slices
-Propel (berry flavor not that that matters...)

I'll probably update my food intake by tonight...if I eat more that is.

Waiting for my niece to get here and then taking her to my mom's house. Let me tell you, I am up to the very tips of my hair in drama. It's funny how i'm always the one who's not causing the drama, yet I still have to deal with it. Driving me insane...seriously. It's 7:40 right now, so I'll end up updating my food intake.

Today's a lazy day. I had to babysit my niece so I decided not to go to the gym.

Exercise:
-None

Food:
-Two cups of coffee
-16 reduced fat wheat thins
-lots more wheat thins
-2 lean pockets
-2 weight watchers popsicles

I'll update food at the end of the night.
I'm kind of feeling...not motivated or a bit depressed tonight. I feel like my weight is going no where. I guess I just have to keep repeating "it takes time, it takes time, it takes time" no matter how much I wish it didn't take time. :(

Complete off day...bleh.

I don't know what my problem is but my weight does not seem to want to budge at all. I've been eating basically nothing and actually exercising this week and NOTHING...I haven't lost a pound. I'm so frustrated almost to the point of anger. It seems like everyone else is losing weight and i'm just stuck.

I don't know what to do...
 
Eat more...

Your body goes into an automatic starvation mode reflex if you eat too little and the weight may take too long to come off.

Best idea is to plan for a reasonable calorie deficit, track it, and stick with it. The weight loss will be slow, but steady that way.

Aww, it made me so happy to see you reply in here...seriously. The thing with diets for me is that if I can't eat what I want to eat my hunger kind of disappears. I kind of have to force feed myself.....it's weird I know.

However, now that I've not even lost a damn pound this week i'm going to make my diet even stricter. No diet icecream, no "healthy" cereal, nothing like that. Only lean meats, veggies, and fruits...MAYBE some soup.

I can't wait until this double mcnasty chin goes away.
 
I went off track for a little bit and for the last two days have been on track again. I've decided to weigh my self every month instead of every day/week because seeing no results in two and a half weeks has gotten me down. So, hiding the scale is a good idea.

Food as of the last two days:
1st day
4 eggs with some bacon
Stir fried cabbage with bacon
Steak with a tablespoon of BBQ sauce & one can of peas with gravy
2nd day
Two tablespoons peanut butter
Bowl of applesauce with some slices of Gouda cheese
Grande latte from Starbucks with splenda
Salad with grilled chicken and one 2 oz. packet of Honey Mustard dressing
One sugar free pudding single

Exercise:
1st day
20 mins elliptical (i'm soooo proud of myself!!! I used to only be able to do 5 minutes. I even made a thread about it on here a while ago, lol)
30 mins of biking
2nd day (so wasn't feeling the workout but I made myself do some...)
10 mins elliptical
15 mins biking

I really hope I'll see some progress by the end of my two month vacation. I mean that is why I took two months off...:banghead:
 
R.I.P Michael Jackson. He was my favorite singer...first music I remember hearing and vowed to my parents that I would marry him someday. Sad, sad day...

Lately I've been working out almost everyday. Not eating much though because im sleeping the days away. I'm also proud to announce that I've lost an inch and im starting to see small changes (like bones that I've not seen in 6 years).

I've weighed myself once in the last 2 weeks abouts and i've almost lost 5 lbs. I don't see how I can already see changes, but whatever i'll take it. My next weigh in is on July 3rd (1 month mark) and i'm hoping I'll be near the 10 lb mark...although I highly doubt it. I cannot wait to hit the 10 lb mark. Don;t ask me why because I dont even know, lol.
 
Lost inches are good things, very good things!

okay real quick, reference... Fat is less dense than muscle tissue, therefore muscle weighs more for a given amount of volume used up.

In other words, your body lost 5 lbs, but your shape is changing more dramatically because you have burned off a bunch of fat and replaced it with heavier muscle that takes up less space.

It's a beautiful thing, darlin'...
 
Hey Girl! I'm so glad you're seeing inches off and pounds lost! You absolutely deserve it. And you're inspiring me to get back into it again! Lets see those hidden bones again!! :D hope all is well :)
 
Happy Birthday Collette!

(Passer-by who happened by your diary just today, isn't that weird?) lol

Hope you have a great day and a greater year. :)

I know this was long ago, but thank you!


I've not been on here in forever. So, lemme just quickly update.

I started at 298 lbs in November and as of today I am 217 lbs. How I lost the weight?...starving literally. I know, I know, "very bad" but it's worked.
