Yep, you heard me right. I ACTUALLY DID SOME EXERCISE. I had my ipod on full blast and i was sweating buckets by the end of it, also i forgot to bring water so i was even more dying then But im so proud of myself that i actually did something thats positive today for my weight loss.

1 packet instant sugar free banana cream pudding, made with skim milk
1.5 sheets chocolate graham crackers, dunked in skim milk
1/2 sliced banana
semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

I layered everything in a single serving bowl and it was like a super-quick banana pudding! DELISH and not many cals.... something like 100 for the pudding, 100 for the graham crackers, 50 for the banana and 30 for the chocolate chips, but you could make a smaller one and halve the cals!!

don't worry, everyone has those weekends, especially at the bar! that's why i stay away from those places lol.

Thanks so much Chelsea, you're too sweet. That dish sounds UNREAL. My god, how does it have so little calories?! So jealous i need to make that some day Thanks hun, i have to be so so strict on myself now, when i let go a tiny bit i tend to lose control and eat the house. Eeek.


Hope you had a fab day deary!!xoxox

on getting back on track sweetie.

 

[overtherainbow]

AI read your first two posts and my heart sunk when you had them couple of bad days, but so glad your eating well again, and exercising!!!! Well done, you should be proud of yourself

I love Louis, he really made my cry when he got emotional the other week. It made me so angry when that bloke accused him of sexual assault and was lying.

Yeah I know, George deserves to be locked up. He'll get terrorised inside. I don't think he'll be singing in the showers!

Looking forwards to your 30 day challenge answers

 

[Lone Rover]

Congrats on the job, I'm sure they'll love you!

 

[Blackie]

I'm glad you're doing better again. So happy for the job, congrats! I hope you'll like it xx Fab that you've been doing some excercise too! If it seems you aren't losing any weight, it might be that you're actually getting muscles instead whoop-whoop! You've been doing great, just keep fighting those pounds!!

 

[tetemcg]

[luzdafuzz]

Hey Irish! Just a question, why are you aiming for 1200 a day?


I use a program and clock in my daily activities and exercise, and in a day I'll usually burn up to 3000cals... so to have a 1000cal deficit (or a loss of a kilo or 2lbs a week) I'm still eating just under or over 2000cals a day (usually depends on if I'm working or have a day off, or if I'm doing a workout or not).


I'd suggest jumping on a site like fitday.com and putting in your details, and your average daily activity and maybe adjusting your calories accordingly? You'll find it so much easier to stick to if you aren't starving all the time, I promise! Most people can eat so much more than they think they can and still lose considerable amounts of weight.


Just a suggestion


Haha I'm 5"7 too, and I was the same height when I was 12. Too funny... I used to tower over everyone in my class at school, then a few years later everyone started towering over me because I'd already stopped growing.

 

[katehunibun]

AHeya Princess.

I am only 5'5 but i was that height at 11 and was a bit chubby too so stood out loads....Which i hated. That is what has made me so self concious and insecure. I still struggle with worrying about people looking at me. I would love to be 5'7 now. I feel such a short arse next to my 6'1 fella and 5'4 12 year old son!!!!

 

[Time4Change1]

AEventhough we both ate some bad foods yesterday; Today is a new day!!
Good job for working out!! I'm proud you stuck to it . I am deffinitely working out today and bought a pedometer yesterday so I can keep track of how much I walk around the house running after these munchkins all day lol. =DD
Can't wait to hear your workouts for today!

Xoxox

 

[ski_bunny30]

AHey Kate how r u today? Perhaps 1200cals is a bit low if ur hungry throughout the day. Why don't u up it to 1500-1600cals and if u do exercise then you will see results. Eventually u will hit a plateau and when this happens generally u will either have to increase ur exercise or reduce ur cals but if yr only eating 1200cals a day then this won't b an option for u.

But the 3of us have gotten off to a great start....I'm excited xx

 

[Irishprincess]

Consumed 1400 calories and walked for 60mins!!! I also bought this cool shoulder bag......woo woo.


Feeling really tired today! And guess what? COLLEGE STARTS BACK TOMORROW. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Cant believe im going back, campus is going to have such a buzz tomorrow!! Im not one bit prepared. I dont even have a notebook to right in notes. YUCK.


Anyway thanks guys for all the posts, i really appreciate them all, they are so so kind.


Hope everyone has a fab fab daaaaaaaaay.

Day 03 - A picture of your fitspiration. What features do you like about this person?[/b]





My fitspration has always been Britney Spears body in the 2001-2004 era. Ever since that moment she prefomed preformed 'Slave 4 U' at the VMA's 2001 ( i had just turned 11 at the time) I was stunned by how AMAZING her body was. The features i like about Britney and this person is that her body is toned all over, i love how toned her legs are...kinda like a warrior, you can see the muscles in them, they are well defined but not masculine looking. Like her body is very fit, but in a womanly way. I also love how toned her arms are and the confidence she had back in 2001-2004.She was so comfortable in her own skin and i always envied her over it!!


I know no matter how hard i work out from here to eternity, i will never look as good as that, but it gives me sooooooo much motivation when i look at this pic to carry on doing what im doing



Also, I remember shortly after i saw this performance on TV, i was determined to start getting my body toned and lose all the flab. Basically become healthy. I have been overweight my entire life, at 11 i was 12stone, and all my friends were 7 and a half stone. But of course i failed with my attempt to lose the flab. I ate like bread all around the place and walks everynight for 3 weeks before i gave up. I had no idea what calories my body needed to have to lose weight and also i just ad no education about healthy foods and exercise in general. If i had this website back in 2001 it would have made my life SO SO much easier, because i wouldn't have become obsese.


Sorry for my rambing on guys!! It feels good to get that off my chest

Hey hun, thanks for the great advice deary Really really appreciate it

The reason i consume 1200 calories a day is because i know any less i will go into starvation mode and i want to lose the most weight i can

Yeah i will defo try that website for info about cals i need to consume to lose weight!

Thats so cool that you are 5'7 also I really like my height now

Thanks again for the great advice hun and hope you have a great great day xoxoxo

xxxxxxx

 

[jasper1]

i love the way she looked there too.I remember saying she looked amazing and i wanted to be just like her!!!!


college???as like what i see on movies???what are you studing for?

 

[tetemcg]

AI agree she looks fabulous!!! ....dream big my dear!! its what keeps us going!!

My inspiration which I didn't have till last nite when I watched Burleuqess for the first time is Christina Aguilera!! She looks amazing in that movie....curvy...petite and thin!! that is my dream body!! Hell I'd take any movie star body for that matter!! haha

 

[overtherainbow]

AI read this yesterday and I was thinking about Christina Agi-howeveryouspellit s well. Both Britney and her were super hot back then. I love Christinas body in the "dirty" music video, and I love britney in that skin tight pvc thing in the toxic vid. They do have the perfect bods.

I love Dita Von teeses body as well. So jealous of her tiny waist and curvy hips.
