I want to look good when getting my Bachelor degree

Therefore I have to loose about 18 kg (which is round about 40 pounds) in the next 1.5 years :blush5:

I started dieting (I hate call it dieting because I just started looking at my calories I consume every day and started to do more exercise...it is not a real diet it is more about changing my eating habits) 3 weeks ago and i lost already around 2 kg (which is round about 4 pounds).

For breakfast I had today 150g curd with 30g muesli (okay I got up really late as I wrote parts of my paper till 2 o'clock in the morning....so in fact it is more lunch than breakfast).
Now I am going to clean my flat a little bit, then I am going to do cardio training in the gym and :jump: I really like being physically active, seriously. But sometimes I prefer to stay in bed...however, now I am awake so I can go ;)
In the evening I am invited to a fellow student...it is her last day here because she is leaving for her semester abroad. But as I eat that late breakfast I won't be hungry during the afternoon (and if I am I can have apples or other fruits or vegetables) therefore it is not that big issue to be invited for dinner :Angel_anim: (and as I know she is vegetarian and does not cook really fatty it will all be allrigth ;) )

so see how it will work today....despite loosing weight I have to write the paper about the pharmaceutical market.....crazy, it is a real tough topic and unfortunately I am just allowed to write about 2500 words...not that much...
 
Welcome to the forum, reading around other diaries here will help keep your motivation up and possible give you ideas to help you with your own weight loss goals :)

Thanks ;) I do it and I will go on doing it to keep my motivation ;)


The dinner was really nice but in the end we started talking about my best friend who died half a year a go an seriously I was happy that I have to leave as the last bus cam....I do not want to talk about one of the most beloved persons I have ever known with people who I do not know that much and who did not know HER, they just met her once or twice...at the moment I am somehow frustrated but the good thing is...I do not eat due to this fact....thanks good. Normaly I would have taken lods of choclate to be happy again...now I am just going to watch one more episode of sex and the city and than I go to bed...late enough, it is about quarter past twelve and I am tired
 
See, I am the opposite: the way I see it, I am ALWAYS on a diet, just not necessarily a weight loss one. Everyone has a particular diet that they follow at any one time. Mine just happens to be tailored to help me lose my bulges right now!

Good luck on your weight loss and on your paper too! When are you graduating??
 
I am pretty sure that I mean something different with diet....in Germany you mean with diet just really planning what you going to eat for the next month or whatever, forbiding yourself stuff and things like that....and that is NOT the way I want to loose weigth (I mean by keeping to a plan which I really hard have to follow...hope you understand what I mean)
and I forgot the biggest point: a diet ends....but changing eating habits never ends ;) I gues you mean with diet more like your daily nutrition...am I rigth?

I am hopefully getting my in July 2010...so it is an achievable goal to loose 18 kg till that time (hopefully I will have lost them earlier ;) )
 
Great, another kilogram lost :party: although I did NOT stick taht strickt to my calories this week ;)
And I also lost in total about 3 cm around my belly...I guess I am on the rigth way (and I hope I will stick to this)

Today I seriously have to go on with the paper :banghead: I did nothing yesterday and I have to finish it by next thursday :nopity:
And I still have to search for someone who is willing to correct it, because my dad is on holiday....its not fair, he always read trough and than corrected and now I am just feeling like standing alone -_-

However...had no breakfast (but just because I am not hungry I am just fine with a huuuugggeee cup of coffee ;) ) and for lunch I do not realy know what I would like. In the evening my boyfriend will come and I will cook chicken with rice (although he is a bit scaried because he thinks I can't cook....but that is just because he does not like any healthy stuff like vegetables and I aaalllllways use vegetables/fruit and things like that)

have a nice day everyone
 
Yay, well done on another kg down!! :)

Yes, you are right, that is what I mean about diet. Even when I am on a losing weight diet I do not really plan. Nothing is forbidden and I eat whatever the family eats, I just try to eat less, listen to my body and stop when I am comfortably full and try not to snack. It may not be as fast as a stickt diet, but it means that I can parttake in life whilst I am doing it, thus making the whole process enjoyable if that makes sense? And I like the fact that it never ends because that means the weight will stay off. Sure, when I reach my goal I will be able to add a few more treats here and there or increase my portion sizes ever so slightly, but otherwise I will continue eating the same.

Good luck on your paper. Is your boyfriend not able to read it for you??

On the one hand he does not have any knowledge about the topic...he is not interested and he is studying engeneering :ack2: and on the other his english is....lets call it more buisness like, and really really german kind of *g*
 
Good luck on your paper!
Congrats on the loss!!

seriously I am struggeling with the paper...I do not know if it is rigth or wrong what I am doing....I want to finish it today, and seriously I am just surfing around the inernt, writing sometimes a sentence for the paper and than searching in all kinds of forums I am registered at for interesting topics....how stupid....thanks good I have no sweets in the house and all shops are closed (I mean its half past twelve in the evening...only gassoline stations would be open rigth now)

I am quit sure my life is as happy as the life of most others in here ;) With a lot of ups and downs and stuff ;) Actually between summer and christmas it contained more downs...however thanks a lot for your congratulations ;)

And guys: I am DONE, finished the paper, later as I wanted but anyway...finished ;) I just have to put in all the references but thats only boring not tough work ;)
 
Whohooo! Well done on finishing the paper!

Do you have a particular day you weigh in on? I do it on Mondays, with my friends. We all update our threads on our Facebook group afterwards, totting up the loss as we go along so I will do my ticker on here on the same day. I often have a sneaky weigh-in inbetween, but it is the Monday morning one that counts!

Argh, I have hiccups! *hic*
 
No actually I did not stick to the plan yesterday... I got up late, skipped breakfast had lunch and everything was fine, but than I recognised it was half a year ago that my best friend died, so we met with some friends at the graveyard....was sad but anyway it was nice to meet them all.
Back home I played with my parents dog (she is 15 years old now...really and old girl ;) ) and guess what? she bit me....Okay it was my failure because she thougth I want to steel her food, but she has never bit me, she bit other peoples and my sister and my brother but never ever me :cry:
Thanks good it is nood a big wound but it still hurts a bit -_-
And as I really havn't eaten that much during the day I started eating chocolate in the evening :banghead:
however, as long as I will loose some grams till friday I am okay ;)
And now I start to do the reference stuff for the paper...I hate this work the most of the whole paper thing :nopity:
 
awe, It's tough when we have days like that! I am sorry to here about your friend!! I know I have lost more than my fare share.

wow, I'm glad the dog didn't break skin! You would have had to get a shot probably. I have a friend who has a 15 year old dog as a matter of fact I am going to be sitting here in a few weeks. .I love dogs except for when they bite..lol

as long as you realise you messed up with your plan you can get back into it just don't let it discourage you, pick it up next time and don't fret over the mistakes you made. I'm routing for ya girl!! :party:

Have fun referencing ;D

You know it is not the case that I miss her each and every minute and I think I am now able to handle my life really good without her support and her beeing around and stuff but there are allways those moments when you think: WHY the hell are you NOT here?
There were allways the three of us hanging around, having fun and things like that and every time it seems that one of us will make a "mistake" (like doing a wrong decision or whatever) we supported each other, and now we are just two and belive me or not, this support does not really work anymore...
My friend wants to move in with her boyfriend (who she is in a relation with since about 8 month or something, and within this 8 months there was nothing like a routine or something..) and it seems to be one of the biggest mistakes she can do in her live...but she does not believe me :banghead:
And I can not protect her from doing this mistake...she just stopped to call me after I said THIS is a BAD idea.....well we will see how it works...it is not my life, it is hers :Angel_anim:
 
I am sorry to hear you lost your friend. I think you can be forgiven to have an off diet day on such a day. Re. your other friend, sometimes we just have to let people make their own mistakes and learn from them...

I am sure you will manage to lose some weight by Friday anyway! Do you weigh in at home or do you go to some sort of diet group??

No I do it at home ;) I would never weigh in in a group or something, that is one of the most horrible things for me I could imagine :p I wouldn't even weigh in when my mother stands rigth behind me *g*
