Okay so i saw everyones journals and i thought id give it a bash :) Here goes......

So ive struggled with my weight for most of my life. I was bullied alot in primary school for it and twice as much in highschool which only made matters worse. Has i am and was a comfort eater, the more they teased the more i ate. Well since i was 12 ive dieted so many times ive lost count LOL Most times ill lose a stone or two, then ill quit my diet and it all goes back on and more.
So i left highschool and went along to college. And would you believe it i actually got bullied there to! You'd think people at 16/17 years of age would be more mature, apparently not though LOL So i left college and decided to take a year out which meant i had to find a job. Well the best job i could get was in a fastfood restraunt (kfc) Which SO didnt help my weight let me tell ya LOL i worked there for around 6 months and ended up at 220lbs my heaviest yet but i am 5"9 so i kinda carried it well.
Once i left it was a major reality check, i was going back to college in the September as i left in March. So i joined the gym and got stuck in LOL ive learned to love exercise, i think i may have become addicted :D Its not a bad habit though right? LOL
Well i went to college this September 40lbs lighter and feeling great and im loving every minute of it. But my journey still isnt over with just over 30lbs left im certainly not going to give up now! :) I'm struggling with the last few pounds but who doesnt? This site as been very helpful over the last few weeks when ive been close to breaking point :)
There are alot of inspiring stories from people on here and i hope to be one eventually. I dont have a set time for when id like to achieve my ultimate goal but it would be kool to finally be able to go on vacation and wear a bikini so hopefully June/July :) If not then ill get there eventually. So heres my journal as of today.....

Well todays been a good day i got up bright and early and ran for a mile. I later on walked the dog (aprox 4 miles) I couldnt get to the gym today but i will be making up for it tomorow thats for sure!
So today ive ate the following:

Breakfast: ready break and a small banana
Lunch: bagel with low fat cream cheese and some mini rice cakes (yum!)
Dinner:Chicken with pasta and corn
Snack:Mini special K bites
LOTS OF WATER :D

And i think i may munch on some more fruit later LOL.
 
Wow, you are doing really well so far. keep it up, it would be a terrible shame to give up now (even though i doubt you will)

Congrats
 
So todays been pretty good as ive kept track of my calories! Ive had just below 1500 today which is good and i dont feel hungry which is a miracle! :D LOL I havent done any official exercise yet (unless running for the bus this morning counted LOL) um but being at college keeps me on my feet alot, so lots of walking today. And the 5 flights of stairs i continuosly climb up and down.
Im heading to the gym later and im gonna do a "legs, bums and tums" class and "body combat" just after. Which adds up to 1hour and 45mins of exercise. Ill probably do some weights in the gym for around 20 mins after just to burn a few more calories :)
So thats me for today...............
 
Well i manged to stick to my daily calorie intake, well so far :D Ive done lots of walking today as ive had a pretty busy day. So maybe that burned up a few calories. Im not going to the gym tonight because im being lazy and cant summon the motivation to drag my ass there LOL
I guess seen as ive got like over a week off as of today, ill put in some major effort starting tomorow. Try to lose 3 lbs by next sunday, "Try" being the main word LOL im finding it virtually impossible these days to make myself exercise or to just keep seeing plateaus through. But i will carry on being slightly overweight now is better than being obese like i was just under 7 months ago. So bring on the fruit and veggies :D

:)

sometimes a night off is the rest your body needs to get more motivation to go next time- just don't take too many nightsin a row off -it becomes habit not doing it then...

Well thanks for the advice but i actually got up and did something! :) I used to throw discus and was pretty good at it, i won medals and everything. And i saw my coach a couple of weeks ago and he called me to tonight and invited me back to training. So i am now throwing discus twice a week again. Which is awsome because it beats sweating it out in the gym for hours, its so much more fun! :D
So yeah am feeling pretty good about today now :D
 
Another 1lb gone! Okay 2 lb's would have been great but a pound is fine by me! :D So ive been on a up today, ive resisted bad foods too :D Ive done lots of walking today and i gave the gym a miss cause my muscles are a bit stiff after the weights session at training last night LOL Ive stuck to my calorie range to, even enough left for an evening snack. So bring on the fruit and yogurt ! :)
Well theres me for today, i should have lots to tell you tomorow as i think im gonna do this 10 mile walk. But lets see how the weather is :)
 
Okay today i managed to stick to my calorie range and thats about it. Im so tempted to go eat loads of chocolate right now cause im having such a bad day. I know this will sound really perfetic but i let my sister loose on my hair and it is now black! From platnum blonde to black! Should have been brown but shes wrecked it :( Now im really pissed off and feel like eating the entire contents of the fridge. And i know there are far worse things that could happen to me but still im in a rotten mood now. I wont give in though *fingers crossed*

I couldn't picture someone eating angrily :D But perhaps it doesn;t look as bad as you think... If it is then surely a hardressers (You call them Salons over there?) might be able to fix it... or someone getting you some basic hair dye?

Good luck & all the other generic stuff. :)
 
Hi Jadeypadey! Your thread caught my attention, "I will be skinny" too lol! Actually it seems we have a lot in common. I was always a bit chubbier then the other kids and become very sensitive about it. I've been on and off dieting for as long as I can remember, and we're talking elementary school. I am 19 years old, 5'9 and 155Lbs. The heaviest I weighed was 170Lbs during the summer... and I just decided that was it. I used to tell myself I would rather be dead than over 160Lbs - I know that sounds incredibly superficial. I just find I'm a lot happier when I feel good about my body. My goal is 145Lbs. I'm a medium build so 145Lbs is slender... once I got down to 135Lbs and people started telling me I looked to thin, so I think 145 is healthy.
I definitely know what you mean about eating when you're angry. When I'm in a bad mood, or stressed out about exams, I just want to eat everything. But it feels so much better resisting the urge to binge.
It's really impressive how much you workout... that is definitely my weakness. I eat about 1500 calories a day, but I only workout about 3 times a week. I have a crazy week of exams but after that I'm going to try to pick it up.

OMG we really do have quite alot in common :) Im 5"9 with a medium frame, i wish i was at 155lbs but ill be there soon :D It would be good to watch eachothers progress. Yeah i do exercise alot my mum hates me exercising so much but its just become routine for me. I exercise everyday now though since i started training for discus again. But yeah exams can totally get in the way of exercise, just focus on doing well exercise can wait as long as you eat right huh? :D

Well today ive done really well ive stuck to 1500 calories :D I took the dog on a 4 mile walk, an hour of cardio and some leg weights at the gym, an ab attack class and body combat. After finishing there i went to the track and threw discus for 2 hours and did more weight training. So yeah right now im shattered, and its gonna hurt in the morning! LOL
I got my weights routine off my coach tonight, so i have to start that tomorow to gain strength. Ive got alot of work to do if im gonna be in shape for the competitions next summer. Maybe ill manage another gold medal *crosses fingers*
Bring on the weights! :D
 
Its been a good day :D Ive not overate, infact i have like 500 calories left so i think ill have a snack later :) I took the dog on a usual 4 mile walk and i went to the gym. I did an aerobic attack class and some weight training, a total of around 1 hour 30 mins. So pretty active today id say lol.
Ive talked with my dad and im starting my weight training for discus next week. So thats gonna be awsome, im gonna have to get used to being stiff alot lol. Welly anyways im off to get that snack :)

X
 
Well todays been a really hungry day today. Im constantly hungry even though ive had 3 meals and snacks today. So i think i may have had a few to many calories but nothing drastic. I did a 4 mile walk but didnt manage to get to the gym today :( Ill do the same walk again tomorow, hit the gym for an hour then head to the track. Try burn off the extra calories an hopefully manage to lose at least 1lb by sunday.

:D
 
Well i havent wrote on here for a while so i thought i should update yall :p Well this week hasnt been good ive apparently gained 2lbs which is really frustrating as ive been working hard the last week. Im really lacking motivation at the moment and im scared im gonna end up going back to my old ways.
Theres only so many times you can stand on that scale and see a fluctuation or just no change at all until it really starts to get to you. I think im at that stage right now. I feel like sitting here and crying cause none of my efforts are getting me any results.
So as of tomorow ive decided a new plan of action :) Im gonna try slimfast, which means 2 shakes and one 600 calorie meal a day. Yes i know its a faddy diet but i think a little weight loss that may come from trying this will motivate me again. I know its not a long term option but its something i wanna try.
So i bought two tins of the strawberry milkshake today and im gonna start tomorow. So wish me luck :p

Well i started the slimfast diet today and funnily enough im actually not hungry. I thought it would be torture having mostly liquids but i feel fine. Well i do for now that may change tomorow. So i did a 45 min body combat class today so that was a great work out. It deffinately got my heart racing lol. Ive managed to drink the daily recomended about of water which is an achievement in itself lol. I usuallu always end up drinking diet soda instead which isnt good lol.
So compared to yesterday im feeling pretty good and have a bit more motivation. Another 10 lbs by christmas would be so good which is just over 4lbs a month i think :S
Here goes :)

Well second day on the slimfast diet and im still feeling ok. I havent done any official exercise except for my usual walking, which i do alot of whilst at college. I only got home from college late cause i had to go to another college to do some stupid training course lol. But i will go to the gym tomorow and work my ass off. Ive decided not to weight myself until the 24th of December. Then i wont be influenced by the scales constantly, cause ive been driving myself nuts with jumping on and off them all the time lately. It would be awsome to get on the scales and be at 170lbs by crimbo though. Would deffo make my christmas for sure :D lol
So thats me for today :)
