Hello,

Today is my 4th good day!!! Yey! I have been consuming an average of 1500 calories a day and have been moving about much more. Tomorrow's aerobics, Wednesday's running, Thursday will be cycling, Sat running and Sun a 5k race.

What I am the MOST proud of all is that I have not had ANY sweets (me: the biscuit addict!) and have resisted chocolate and whatnot offered to me. Plus: had LOTS of salads, filled the fridge with stir-fry stuff, chicken and prawns.

All in all an excellent start:)
 
It is my 7th good day!:)

I am kind of sick of stir-fries by now... Mostly, because the vegetables were a bit off...

Running went horribly wrong last night: had the worst heart burn EVER, it even started burning my throat. Had to stop half way through the 4 miler, barely made it home then dosed up on Gaviscone... Well, what a start after 3 weeks off running... Aerobics and cycling went OK, but I don't feel fit at the mo:(

Nevermind, I am not giving up! I have looked at and thought about eating biscuits today, but decided against it. I am doing really well on not having any desserts at all. Wow.

Weigh-in at the weekend. So is a 5k race...
 
It's my 10th good day!

Weekly weigh-in.
So far I have lost 5 lbs. Wonderful! I know it is going to be a long journey, but I am sure I can do it. Not so sure about the half-marathon anymore. Found the 5k very difficult this morning. I am not giving up the training, but will forgive myself if I am not trained enough to do it.

It is much more important to me at this time in my life to lose weight than to run all these distances. I want to feel happy about myself, then I might have more self-esteem and will be able to start a new relationship... (Broke up with my boyfriend of 7 yrs last October)
 
Another 3 lbs lost!!

I am delighted to say that the weight loss is going very well. I feel exhausted and weak during exercises as I am eating less...

Last night was the first time in 2 weeks I had any pudding. I was invited by an excellent chef friend of mine and I just could not turn it down. I was very good on Thursday when I had the opportunity to eat as much as I could (presentation evening courtesy of the company I work for), but I only had chicken and salad. No chocolate, cream or cheescake. It was easy-peasy:)

8 weeks till holiday.
 
It's my 24th good day!

Another 2 lbs lost... And a boyfriend gained... Actually, just starting dating him:)
 
Hey sounds like your doing great!
I was in a similar situation a few years ago. When I was 15 I weighed 169 too and got down to about 125 too. It was hard but totally worth it!

And the boyfriend thing is great always helps the self esteem, you can use him as motivation too :)
 
31st good day

Thank you for the comment!:) It does help to be liked by somebody, he makes me feel very special and happy...

Weightlosss. I have been good but this week I have not lost a thing... Not too disappointed, I might just be gaining muscles due to the running and exercises. I will stay patient and will behave and will see what happens.
 
Hang in there...you are doing great! Sometimes it just takes a while for the scale to budge. If you are doing what you are supposed to be doing, it will eventually show on the scale. Can you feel a difference in the way your clothes are fitting? Sometimes that is a better indicator than the scale!
 
Still stuck

Thank you, you are right: my trousers are definately more comfortable. I even had to put safety pins in some of them because I don't have many belts and they are becoming loose.

I am not upset that my weight has not changed yet again. I have had 2 really bad binging days this week. It was like going back in time: stuffed my face with as much biscuits and chocolate as possible. Afterwards I felt sick and stupid. I am sure it's psychological; I might be scared of this new relationship, etc. Apart from those 2 days I have been good, so my weight has not gone up... Thank goodness!

I am also on holiday for a week, so will have to be very careful now...

Nothing happened again

I am extermely happy that I have not gained anything although have been eating a lot this week. I have been very busy in the meantime, so that must be the reason.

Will be properly dieting again from tomorrow for 4 weeks and hoping to start to lose 2 lbs per week again.
 
Congrats on not gaining any weight back...now get back in that saddle and go, girl! You can do it! Let us know how your week goes...
