Jana's weight loss journey

remarkable change.. and that too in less than a month :O

way to go girl.. You're about to start a revolution here :D
 
thankyou cherrylynn!! <3

and reluctantcabbie i'm totally flattered!! *blush*

anand -- thanks buddy!! i hope you dieting is going well!!

So far eating as been swell today, except for the fact that I drank some milo which is pure sugar!!! :mad: its complete shite that drink...as it tastes good. but bad for u :p
 
Wooooo. You are dedicated. Your exercise sounds great! Keep it up girl you will fit those jeans in NO time! Good luck :)
 
okay ...today I ate allright...


breakfast
- 1 whole wheat pita bread with jam and peanut butter = 400 cal

snack
-MILO = 250 calories <- empty fucking calories! I'm so mad at myself for drinking it.


lunch
- rice (1cup)= 250
- 1/2 cup vegetables stirfried with spices and some olive oil= 150
- 1 tb spoon lentil dal= 100
500 calorie lunch! SCORE. I think this was a perfect lunch!!

workout
-1 hr body combat high intesity cardio = -600
- 1 hr body pump basically weight lifting resistance and strength training= -400

dinner
-fruit salad (no dressing) = 200 calories

I know eating was not perfect. infact it was kinda shite. but oh well. milo was bullshit. then i know my breakfasts arent super healthy. i love jam lol. i'm hooked. but im almost run out, on both my bread and jam...so i'll be eating special K 2moro onwards...after that ill stop buying special K, might start eating fibre 1 as I hear abt a lot of ppl havin these days.

workout was good today for sure; however i had spicey vegetables a few hrs before workout...my stomach felt weirdly acidic so it was a bit uncomfortable working out. but other than that it was fine i guess. lunch was a bit calorie dense but whatever. i can totally make that allowance; and the lunch i had was a very informed decesion to have a blanced meal of carbs, proteins and fats...and so SUCCESS!!

tommorow will be an even better day in terms of workout! i got myself new shoes...
 
Congrats girlie!!! :D! i definitely see the change, especially in your upper back and arms (cause I can't see your legs..haaha)!!!

...You really do like those MILO's huh.?!?! I wonder what they taste like?! I'm glad I haven't tried them, cause they sound hard to give up!! hahah!!! ;)

...GREAT job on your workouts! Inspiring!!! :iagree: I HATE ACID REFLEXS IN YOUR STOMACH!....they have put my workout long runs to an early end so many times...:(
 
Alta- Thanks babe =) okay I'm gonna post more pics soon! -_-

I'm feeling so small lately! size wise offcourse. I'm taking it easy on exersize lately (i'm taking today and tommorow off since its national holidays and I have cousins and family visiting, absolutely impossible to make time to hit the gym). However, I'm going to be very good eating wise, and I'm going to count my calories to perfection. Allright here is what I ate today.

Breakfast-
- Handfull of nuts trailmix = 300 calories

Lunch-
- Rice= 250 calories
- Water Spinich cooked asian style [Sambal kangkong]= 250 calories

Tonight I'm going to a party for dinner, where I will stick to salads..... no more carbs for me for the day. I had protein from the nuts, and carbs from the rice. So I'm gonna stay within 1200 limits which is my loosing weight calories by like 400. So thats good! =) we'll see how well I do tonight and I will update my journal. I'm baking a cookie chocolate cake tonight (which I'm not gonna personally eat myself..lol maybe a little batter but I'll make an allowance for it in my diary)... I'm feeling stronger and stronger about this .... Food no longer controlls me, I controll it. I've been planning my meals, and sticking to it, very well. Thankgod. However there is one little guilty no-calorie treat which I've been super indulging in lately. Thats Zero Coke or Dietcoke....OMG. I'm addicted to that icy beverage. At this point, I dont want to loose a lot (like today and tommorow the big family festival period as I'm not working out)... I'm gonna be pleased with a little drop even. I do feel smaller! And my clothes look better. In order to stop obsessing I've stopped weighing myself everyday (which really drives me nuts, and makes me stop eating alltogether!!)....I'm gonna weigh myself every week!...However when I get back home I'm purchasing a weight machine which calculates your body fat % which is going to be what I will mainly work with. The weight will come down with my body fat %. Now that I think about it. 55kg might be a little too little for me. I want to be around 60kg...which means I've got less than 7kg to loose. haha makes me super happy I swear. But I'll see!!

I hope ya'll have a good weekend eating wise!! I sure plan to!! Lets hope for the best now!
 
wow okay, I just got back from the gym. I thought I'd have no time (our house is streched beyond capacity with the amount of guests over to celibrate festivities of family fun) and I also had a minor photo session to show u all my progress!

I am a notorious pear shaped woman. Meaning, my thighs are HUGE. THUNDER THIGH's. Even back in my skinnier days I had larger thigh's relatively. And even now my thigh's are slimming down relatively slower than my rest of the body. My stomach and arms made a good progress however my legs I'm not so happy with. My love handles look a lot smaller, which I'm super duper uber happy about!!

Someone wanted to know about the progress abt my legs ....so I pulled out my most scandalous (tinyest) dress from back in the 90's wheN I was about dunno 16? hahaha its the shortest I cud find to show u my legs....they feel tiny bit smaller but I still get a massive jiggle when running. I hate it!! I wanna remove all this fat asap. AHHHHHHH but there is no shortcut to losing fat unfortunately.

I had limited time so today I did 35min of run-briskwalk-run burnt a total of 250 calories on the treadmill. Then I did strengh training for another 25 minutes. I did some weights....muscle isolation exersizes such as dead lifts, death rows, bicep curls, tricep extensions, lunges, squats, pushups, crunches. If I had more time to spend at the gym, I totally wud...but today I'm just swamped ... I have to be home to entertain the guests! then I'm goin to a dinner party soon....thus I'll update tonight on my eating!

Okay today was hari raya puasa (Eid day) here in Singapore. Which meant I went visiting amongst friends and relatives, and thus had to eat (its rude if you dont eat anything)...so today I hate minor like TINY ammounts at every house I visited. But being vegetarian definately limits my options. I cudnt eat most of the rice dishes which had beef or mutton or chicken in it. Neither cud I eat most of the savoury items. I had to stick with some sweets or I just had some basic tea at most houses. I dont think I ate above 2000 calories, which is basically 600+ my maintain weight calorie. I had no workout today, however I did WALK A LOT and in high heels too, which was tiring my legs hurt. But I dont count that as working out! So today was over all a horrible day, I'm not weighing myself today or tommorow. LoL...I might abstain from sugar all together for a little while not, i feel rather disgusting with all the sweat treats I ate today, atleast I abstained from eating chocolate which is my 'sin food' other than that I'm not much of a sweet tooth. but I sort of ate a little bit to not seem rude. So YES, I ate over calories, and YES I forgive myself for doing so. This is the least I deserve for being so good. And tommorow I will bounce back and everything will be grand -_- !!! Tommorow it is still holidays, however I shall get back to usual gymming + eating right. So go me! Tommorow is a new day, today is done and over...and I dont regret a thing. So .....here is to a good new year.
 
Aha, you are in Singapore!! There have been a number of folks on here in the past from that part of the world.
 
You look fantastic!!!...You will get to your goal in no time!!...:iagree: Thanks for posting up those pics!!!...That dress is shorrrrrt...I can't wait to rock things like that! :D!
 
Hey guys!! How are you all??

I'm sorry I've been GONE..lol. I've been busy soooooo busy lately. But I've worked out consistantly an average of 2 hrs/daily. Which is amazing, and I'm super proud of. My calories are under controll, and now that the festival is over...I'm back to predominantly eating vegetables and fruits. I'm not gonna weigh myself I've decided, because I tend to not eat if I do weigh myself out of guilt. Which is probably the most horrible thing that I can do to tonning up.... I see definition in my arms which I'm sooo proud of. The jiggle of fat is WAY LESS now lol. I feel sooo confident allready. I cant wait to show u guys pics...but I'll wait till you can see some REAL difference!!! Maybe about halloween time!!

I hope the rest of u are having as much fun as I am. Everyday I come home from the gym and try on clothes...and I feel so good lol!! I feel like I'm loosing cm's everyday and my clothes just keep looking better (i mean better compared to the time i was a total fatass lol). Time to trim my rear end and get this fat ass to the gym !!! =)

ENERGY- The more you give, the more you get back in return.

MOTIVATION- is what gets you started, HABBIT is what keeps you going.


I also wanted to ask you guys, what are your veiws on fasting??? I heard from some sources that it is supposed to be good for you; for a total system detox. I find it really hard to not eat my bread in the morning..ohter than that I can pretty much live on vegetables the entire day....so thats one form of detox. However I do put in olive oil into my meals.....being vegetarian is probably the best thing I"ve done for my diet so far.... I swear there is ALMOST NO OPTIONS :p at parties for me to eat...thus I stick to salad...and I swear it works!!! LoL!! Now I have an excuse to eat salad....I swear some ppl are sooo annoying; they really judge people for not eating a lot during dinners and such. I KNOW I dont want to be the girl drinkin diet coke when the rest of the ppl are having meals. However, what do I do if there isnt anything that I can eat available?? I eat salad!!! And people think I'm taking it toooooo far!! Sooo annoying.

I'm really happy today because last night I went to a party wearing a spegetti strapped black dress and everyone told me how skinny I looked (obv I DONT look skinny, but I guess they meant skinny compared to about a month ago :p )...I am soo happy. And everyone kept asking me what I eat, and what I've been doing...this one particular friend was like 'OMG Jana you've created a milestone..you look SO different that you did two weeks ago'...haha and I agree!!

I swear I've got my eating sooooooo down!!! however I am REALLY UNHAPPY with my DIET COKE ADDICTION. Thats going so bad!! I drink atleast a can of diet coke a day, and I'm afraid that is totally causing chemical shit storm in my body and preventing effective fat loss. AHHHH :'( I want to quit so bad!!
 
I know I'm loosing weight, but I hate being in this shape. and i hate myself for not having worked out enough in the past. AHHHH!!

today was great in terms of workout. a solid 3 hr session again. i am not weighin myself untill next month! i KNOW i'm loosing weight my clothes and mirror says so; but I dont wanna be overtly obsessed with the scale. I know im gaining muscle too....my arms feel so much harder and so does my quads. im sooo fascinated by how much more i can workout now a days without getting tired. like i dont get tired atall during a body attack class...before that there wud be periods id stop or be unable to complete all the counts for a certain exersize. now even tho i get tired i can keep on going....!!

55kg here i come!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I CANT WAIT TO BE SKINNNY AND PRANCE AROUND IN A BIKINI LIKE ITS NOBODYS BUSINESS!!

AHHH I HATEEEE BEING FATT!! I HATE HATE HATEEEEE ...lol....I soo desperately wanna get back in shape!! its nearly 5am and I cant stop thinking abt what im gonna do in terms of workout tommorow and eating and how my moving back to a different country is going to affect my eating/workout as ill be living in a completely different continent and joing a new gym that probably doesnt offer as many classes and isnt as good as my gym right now.

besides classes im also doing regular running + uphill jogging + spriting on the treadmill. i want to build up my cardiovascular fitness even higher than it is. however i think my breathing gets really fucked up while running for some reason ....i find it pretty challenging to run 20 mins at a go at 7.5km/hr speed on the treadmill....below that i consider jogging which i hate doing lol! i think running/brisk walking burns more calories...but that is just a mental thing....

today i did an hour of body balance..which is basically yoga/pilates type workout, i swear i love it. esp after a full on body conditioning/weights/strength train session, it seemed really relaxing at the same time quite challenging.

anyhooos...have a lovely weekend everyone...its friday here!
 
Gotta say I'm loving the shrinkage!! I swear I'm not even tempted to eat bad foods anymore!! I crave healthy things like vegetables and fruits and nuts...rather than fries and cakes.

But I did eat cakes yesterday!! On that note eating was NOT good yesterday....I ate a peice of garlic bread at the restaurant (where I ordered just salad with some eggs with dressing on the side....and i used like 1 tea spoon of thousand island)...GARLIC BREAD IS BADDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!! Unless it is home made and I use low fat margarine sparingly! Still margarine is horrible stuff!! I was feeeling like shit after eating that garlic bread (I only ate one but still that was atleast 200 calories ATLEAST...it was dripping oil and I knew it...still I ate! didnt wanna waste the money I suppose :p) And I did eat 1 brownie that I baked yesterday...I made five batches (for a bake sale, I'm a keen baker lol) and I ate only ONE! So I'm extreemly proud aswe.l. that I am practising controll. However, I adjusted my daily calories and took into account of the sinfull garlic bread !! and I stayed within my calorie budget! TOday has been wonderfull so far...I got 2 hrs of cardio in ..however had no time for weights. Which I shall focus on tommorow! Very exciting.

I got this new book called 'THE BODY SCULPTING BIBLE FOR WOMEN' and it is WONDERFULL! once I'm done reading I want to go on the 14 day strength training routine...that shud be wonderfull! However I do want to be pretty damn close to my goal weight before I embark upon this serious weight training with heavierish weights. Right now I'm lifting about 5-7 kgs...but I intend to lift about 10-15 when I start this body sculpting regimen. You guys shud seriously check this book out. Its AMAZING.
 
:) Dear Diary,
Sorry I havent been updating much lately. However I do maintain a food log journal and workout journal which I maintain religiously ...and I'm proud to say that I've maintained an average of 2 hrs workout/daily and ate under 1400 calories daily over the last two weeks....even through festive times. And hats off to meee!! I'm fitting into my moms clothes (shes tiny LOL) and I love it!!!! <3 I'm headed home soon back to my life, work and school....so obv I wudnt be working out as much...however I plan to do as much as I can and I will keep you posted about my successes, struggles and failures.
 
Hey Jana! Been busy lately and haven't had a lot of getting around tim ein here. Good to see it looks like everything is still going right even without lots of updates. Keeping track is always good.
 
Dear Diary,
I know I've been gone for two weeks, but dont blame me...I've been super busy with life!! Studies and work and all the partying. Everyone is pretty shocked by how amazing my body looks (well it doesnt, but I'm comparing it to the time I weighed friggin 75 kilos compared to the 64kilos as of now). I'm not working out 3 hrs /day ANYMORE! Coz I dont have the time. However I put in a minimum of 45min/day 5-6 days a week. I do either a spin class or a body attack class and some serious weight training.... =) I see bicep definition which is something I never had in the past...my body looks great <3...and I swear I was bigger at this weight the last time I was 64 kilos! The weight is melting away slowly....and it is great. I'm eating about 1500 calories daily....and I've been pretty good at avoiding sin foods !! =) I've been a very good girl!!! And the results on the scale is just THAT motivating ....=) Trust me!!
 
Heyy jana! it so good to hear from you again =)

wow! that great you still got the motivation to exercise 5/6 time a week with all the study & work :D keep up the good work & keep updating ;)

have a nice weekend!
