Irishprincess weight loss progress!!

Hey all:)



Im currently prograsinating on an assignment that is due tomorrow.WHEN WILL I LEARN EH?! :(



Anyway todays eating was great. Just after a wee nap, but i consumed 815 cals and walked briskly for 40 mins!!


Hope everyone is well:) Must get a start on that assignment...


xoxox
 
I've got so much uni work to do too :( Argghhh. Good luck x


Well done!!!! Sod the bad day, your on track again now. Its not the bad days that matter as much, is the bad weekends and weeks.


Where do you work btw?
 
So depressed. Ive been eating nothing but good this week, bar that one day. I have gained 2 pounds since last week. GUTTED.


I am on 2 different types of medication at the moment for my ear infection. Im wondering could this be the cause of not losing any weight but GAINING 2 pounds?


also i eat the same kind of food every day, maybe my body has gotten used to the food?


I am so upset, i feel so much slimmer, and even my friend said yesterday ' my god you look so skinny'


I HATE THE SCALES. END OF.


Sorry for my rant


hope everyone has a good day,

Had a vomiting bug for 2 days thats why i have not been online. Eating has been going...( well not really happening) recently because of all the trowing up. But today i have eaten 1578 cals! im happy with that



Ruth i have sooooooo much college work i feel like tearing my hair out!!!:( I work in a stationary shop, it is an okay job i guess:) could be worse.



hope everyone is well:)xx
 
OI YOU!!!! Don't listen to them stupid scales, you did well, so I reckon it was just water weight or something.


Hope the diets still going okay my lovely. Mine isn't eeek.


Do you get long breaks at college? I do.. Just trying to tell myself only 7 more weeks of hard work before almost 4 months off x
 
:iagree:


Sometimes the scale just doesn't cooperate in relation to how you feel, and it can really discourage you.


There are so many variables that could be associated with this 'weight gain', Irish. The meds you're on could definitely be a factor. Plus, it could just be water weight :) The stress of your school work isn't helping either I'm sure :(


I certainly hope things become less strenuous for you soon!


There are many people on this forum that I can tell will be successful in the end, and you're definitely included in that category! So don't worry :)


These moments in life, even though the circumstances vary from person to person, can be very trying and exhausting. It really tests your commitment some days, but as hard as it can feel, once you push through it, you'll feel that much more confident about yourself and tackling similar situations in the future. It's a little bit like a blessing in disguise, because without these moments to keep you on your toes, it's possible to become complacent and then gradually slip back into old habits. I've walked that road before, and it can be really difficult to navigate your way out of.


In the end, just keep your focus and you'll be alright :)


You'll always have great support here!
 
Well...... since i last posted. I have been eating like SHOCKHORROR. The scales that day really put me off, bigtime. Anyway at the moment, my stomach has been acting really weird. I can't really eat big feeds without feeling like my insides are fucked up inside of me, don't know what wrong with me :/ must go to the doctor's Monday.





The one proud moment of my entire week occured tonight. I was SOOOO close to ordering dominos pizza( LARGE PIZZA PLEASE) but after talking to myself and realising, i was not even hungry ( actually i was stuffed at the time) and that i was just doing it for the sake of getting food due to boredom.




Things that have been annoying me lately.. well more like BUGGING THE SHAAAT outta me, assignments, and my low low concentration. I am constantly procrasinating. Its beyond frustratinghing



The two things i want to accomplish tomorrow is a) eat well b) DO MY ASSIGNMENTS.


Ruth: what can i say the two of us are like fricken twins. When im eating like a horse you are too, when im eating extremely clean you are also.KINDA COOL BUT YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO COP THE FRICK ON GIRL. I hope we can do good this week, its so hard isn't it?? Like the first couple of days are rotten and then it gets alot easier. Well girl we can do this:) xxxxxx


Greg: Thanks for the kind words, i totally needed it:) It cheered me up lots so it did. I know the scales can be so annoying but it really broke my heart that day as i was eating so good for ages and BAM no weight loss. I hope to god i can lose 3 stone before june, it would make my life. Hope you're well kid.:)
 
AO princess....I have a love hate relationship with the scale...so I totally understand!! At my heaviest I purposely never got on...because I couldn't bear to see the number....and at my thinnest I couldn't stay off!! So I still struggle with weighing myself to much and getting so mad when it doesn't show what I think it should....I have turned to the tape measure recently for some more motivation...in lieu of the scale...and it really has helped seen those inches....my own aunt went down 3 pants sizes and never lost a pound but her body fat % when way down too...so it reaffirms that the scale isn't the only measurement of success.
 
Ate pretty damn good today* proud moment* Consumed 1266 cals and its 7.35 in the evening. I hope to god i don't eat anything else for the night, that i can be strong



hope everyone is doing great


much love you guys x

Ah thanks tete, i could not be bothered with the tape, it would make me even more obsessed than the scales. I hope your well hun x
 
WOOHOOOOOOO!


Well my heart is set on losing a shit-load of weight over the next few months, hope yours is too! Here we are at day one all over again :) Didn't do calories and I don't think I did as well as you, but all these things we talk ourselves out of add up- well done on not getting the pizza :) When I got mine the other day I wolfed down at least three extra slices after I was full. Its a bit sickening, and we shouldn't do that to ourselves. End of.


LETS JOIN THE SKINNY TRAIN!!!! x
 
Thanks for dropping by my thread Irish,


Hope the little hiccup along the way doesn't last long.


I've been reading through some of your older entries and it looks like your calorie intake might be low which would make it a struggle to stick to your daily calorie goals. Have you checked any of the sites out there that help calculate BMR and daily calorie needs for your body? We all need to create a calorie deficit to lose weight but when that deficit grows a little too much, our bodies start fighting back.


The BMR tool found on fat2fit radio seems to do a pretty good job at giving a rough calorie goal based upon current and goal weights and it's sometimes very surprising to see how many calories. Everyone's numbers are going to be different but as an example, when I plug my current numbers in with a goal weight of 200lbs the site tells me I should be eating 2700 calories a day if I were to be lightly active during the week.
 
Another great day on the diet front. Consumed 1300 cals aprox. I am so bogged down with college work, and it was EXTREMELY SUNNY TODAY.



I hate when its sunny because it makes me realise that im utterly obese and disgusting. I was wearing the same clothes i wore during winter today and its roasting here:( Its s so embarrasing i feel like all eyes are on me going ' what the hell, that girl is wearing layers for iceland' :(


Anyway it motivates me more to have experienced today. I need to lose alot of weight.FAST. and make sure it stays off forever, and ever.Amen.


Hope everyone is well and sorry about my rant ha!


xxxxxx



Ruthy: Girl, a shit load isn't even how big the amount i want to lose this summer:p


Ah girl thanks, i mean i was seriously going to spend 20 euro on a pizza that i was not hungry for? its crazy isn't it? We most defo shouldn't do that to ourselves girl.


I wanna join the skinny train....beep beep


Hope you had a good day chicken, those jeans are beyond pretty:) xxxx





Gooder: Hello there!! Ah your more than welcome:)



Thanks a mill for the positive advice! I know what you mean, i do think that my cals can be low at sometimes but i see shows like the biggest loser and i used to be fat and they all eat 1200 cals and they are sometimes ALOT bigger than myself.


Hope you had a great day and thanks for stopping by on my diary, so kind of you:)
 
ACongrats on the good calorie day!! Be proud of that!!! the weight will come off...it will!! Enjoy the small successes you earn every single one!! :grouphug:
 
AHi Irish!!
So happy to see you have been having some good days! I totally feel ya on dreading the incoming warm weather - we had a patch of warm for a while and I started to feel all panicky as I saw all these girls pulling out their shorts and skirts - I've never worn shorts in my whole life : summer goal!! For now anyway - the weather is all overcast and drizzly and disgusting - so, hurray!!!! ;) I got a little reprieve there and can hang out in my sweaters shame-free for a bit longer.
It won't always be like this though, and just think about how good it will feel to actually see the light of day in a tank top!! I've been trying to keep that in mind to fight of the recent temptations that have been coming my way! Good luck on making this a perfect week, I know you can do it!!!
 
Guys today was the worst torture ever. MR GOLDEN SUN WAS out today to make everyone in my university scream with delight. Its actually disturbing to think that i am the only person i know that feels depressed when the sun comes out. Its like my worst nightmare. After years of being obese( seriously from the age of 6 i was overweight and it never stopped growing) my body is covered in disgusting stretch marks. I've always accepted them on the back of my legs and my stomach but now they are all over my shoulders and upper arms. It makes me so depressed. I don't know what man would want me the way im covered in them, but today's sun made me want to tear my hair out as ive so much assignments to do and feeling like utter crap doesn't help concentration..............rant over



Anyway besides all my rambling about self loath, i actually had a pretty good day, (only calories wise though! lol) i consumed 1300 cals and i feel alot lighter in every step i take. I also want to shout out to all ye wonderful people on here because ye make me smile so much with your kind words of support. I hope this time i stick to loosing weight instead of doing it for a 3 weeks and then eating like a horse for 6 weeks ha!!







Tete: Thanks so much honey!!:):)



You are such an inspiration to me and eveyone on this forum at the mo!! you look so fricken amazing girl:) I hope you realise it, hope tomorrow is a great day for you:)



xoxo


Sparked its beeeeen aaaaaaaaages. I am so happy to see your lovely self on this again. I hope your hear to stay this time around too. I am so jealous that you have shite weather in the US- oh to live where you are hahaha. God i sound so depressing. Why can't i be like 99.9% of the population and love the sun?


Thanks for the advice about my arms but they are beyond mank--aay.


I really want a good week too hun, lets hope it happens.


Hope you have a great day tomorrow xoxo
 
AMaybe its a semi-good thing that you are feeling so shit about it getting hotter. I think sometimes it takes feeling really bad about your weight to really really make the effort to change FOR GOOD. I remember last summer was horrible.. I was 15 stone and god I was sweating all the time, really hot with my legs rubbing together. I ended up crying in changing rooms, that's when I realised I really needed to change if my body was going to.

YOU WILL STICK AT IT!!!! Remember if you stop the diet than I will too!

Beep-Beep chug-a-chug-a-chug x
 
AO princess you are such a dear! thank you for the kind words!! they truly mean the world to me!! :beating:

I think you should kick the "diet" word to the curb..it sounds so negative! I like to think in "ranges"...if I hit a few of my goals for the day I am doing good....if I hit all of them I am doing great!!

These are my ranges...I find it let restrictive than cutting certain foods out completely...maybe they could help you too.

Calories 1,200 - 1,550
Fat: 27 - 60
Carbohydrates: 135 - 252
Protein: 60 - 136
Sodium: 500 - 2,300
Fiber, total dietary 25 - 35


Wishing you the VERY VERY BEST!!!! XoXoXo :grouphug:
 
Day 3 of the SUNATTACK.


Still down about the gorgeous weather, typical me. I wonder how long more i will have to dread the days in coll. Everyone is wearing next to nothing and im clan out in my winters best:( SO PATHETIC.


Moving on to good news, i have manged to eat really well again today even though i spent the entire day working on my assignment. I am so proud of myself because normally when i am really busy at working on an assignment or studying i pig out so bad. So yay for me.


I consumed 1300 cals today. Not too shabby :)


My friends are going out to dinner tomorrow night but i have decided not to go. Its too much temptation too soon:)


I have so much studying to do i don't know where to begin.


Hope everyone is fab fab.


Lotsa loooove


xxxxx


Ruth: You always see to say the right things!:):) Yeah i know what you mean, maybe i need a hard kick in the butt to stick to this for the FINALE time and suceed. I cannot believe you were 15 stone last summer, thats just craaaaaazy. Can not imagine that weight on you! I've spent many times crying in changing room too hun, all those mirrors at every angle OH MY GOD.


Defo sticking to this and you are too, beeeeeep beeeeeeeeep, going to check there now on your diary:D


Tete: Oh no bothers hun, i was just saying the truth. Your transformation has been unbealiviable and you also look so much younger now too which must rock. YOU GO GIRL!!!!

Thanks for the ranges hun, i know i have to stop using the word diet.


Hope your doing fab chick xx
 
Holy crap Irish, such positive changes for you this week! I am so proud of you for sticking to it while studying - I always eat like enough to feed a family of four when I am studying because I always want an excuse to take a break! So every time I get bored, I end up raiding the pantry! It's so hard, you should be very proud of yourself :)

And I totally feel ya on how hard it is to go out with friends, I have be restraining myself recently because I want to focus on the long term right now and think about how much more fun I will have when I get to go out and feel good about myself :) I know I can't keep it together with all the alcohol around, and then when I start drinking, it just makes me hungry! So anymore, I find it's best to stay away! Of course that's all just temporary until we are better at balancing healthy lifestyles and our social lives - I know that point will come!!


So proud of you for being strong!
 
Hey you guys, today was another heatwave in lovely Ireland. LOOOVERRRLY for some, not so much myself. ha


Anyway ate brilliaaaaant today regardless of my sun depression ha. Consumed 1230 cals!:):) Gave myself a much needed break from study today, so i am now more relaxed, but it all starts again tomorrow! This nightmare wont end till May 25th.



Today i felt alot lighter in myself which is such a fab feeling. Also i am going to be honest, when i was coming home from college i was really craving something bad, live CHOCOLATE CAKE. And i got onto the bus and i had a conversation with myself ' you are doing so well, do you really want to slip up so soon? is it worth it?' Then a BIG THOUGHT entered my mind ' MY NAVY PANTS... NO, NO I DONT WANT CAKE ANYMORE'


Guys, i've never told ye about my navy pants. So cringey. For the last 3 years i have been living in the same navy pants. I have 3 pairs of the same pants that i wear like 5 days a week. They are like cotton feeling sweatpants. SO SO COMFY. But i am allergic to them at this stage now. When July comes i want to be well out of these trousers!! and never again!! They are a size 18-20( they are elastic though!!)


I am currently wearing a top i bought 2 years ago that would not go over my boobs, and now fits perfectly. I think i may have been fatter 2 years ago( didnt own a scale back then so didnt know weight i was)


Anyway hope everyone is well:)


Much love people :D:D xx



Sparked: Awh thanks so much for your kind words pet. I am so proud of myself too, i hope i can keep this up though because i have to study for nearly 2 months. freaaaaaaaaked. I just read your diary and i am super proud of your positive ways too. Keep it up honaaay:) hope tomorrow is another great day for you!!:)
