Hey Everyone!​

Just read in a magazine about a lot of people that lost weight and used a blogging system or journal thing so I thought I would start one. I've been dieting and exercising about a year now, and lost 32 pounds:D . My original weight was 214 pounds, and my goal was to lose 89 pounds, putting me at 125 pounds. I'm now at 182 pounds as of this morning, which means 57 pounds to go woohoo! Not too bad considering I cheated a lot and didn't stick to my program 100% a couple times of the year. I'm really excited to hit the 170's, but tomorrow is Thanksgiving which i'm not sure how i'm going to deal with that. I think i'm going to enjoy, but not overeat like I did in the past years. One slice of pie wont hurt, then i'll get back on it the next day.

The reason I wanted to start losing weight was to get in the healthiest shape I could be. Also, so I could be the beautiful person on the outside that I am on the inside. I hate sitting in a chair and feeling a bulge pushing out over my jeans, or my big arms sticking out of my t-shirt. :( I feel like everyone is staring at me thinking "What a fat ass" and it makes it hard to concentrate in school easily. My school is very sterotypical with the whole "Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, Armani, etc.etc." which only sizes very small people. I wear the shirts but let me tell you they don't look the best that's for sure. I hate getting up and walking infront of the class feeling as though once again everyone's thinking something bad about me. I would love to change that into when I get up and walk infront of the room everyone would think "Damn shes hott!:D " . Boy that would be great. My biggest goal is to be able to fit in a size 11 in Hollister jeans (their largest size). As of now, I can button them but dang they are way to tight. I'm thinking when I hit 170, they will fit just perfectly. Tht will be one of the best days of my life.

So mainly i'm doing this to improve my self esteem, and feel more energetic and positive about myself. I want to look in the mirror and say "Damn I look good". Hahah I know that sounds conceited but i'm sure everyone would/does do that. Well anyway, i'm going to go eat a HEALTHY breakfast and get around and go to the spa. Maybe go tanning?? Not so sure. And I don't really know how this thing works. Can you comment on peoples blogs? Send messages? I guess i'll find out :) So i'm definently going to be writing in this thing everyday! And snooping around others journals:)

hey great job on your loss so far! I know how you feel, especially wanting people to look and you and say, "damn she's hot" :D I would love for people to think that about me. :D Keep up the great work!
 
Hi everyone thanks for coming in my thread!!

EEEK so today was Thanksgiving!! I ate what I want lets just say that..:p

Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Mac N' Cheese, Corn, Banana Pie, Ice Cream, Heaven..and thats it I think. :rolleyes: So I will probably be up a pound or two or remain the same..:cool:

I think i'm going to try to cut my calorie limit to 800 cals a day or 700? I'm not sure what is the recommened calorie intake for losing weight?

BACK ON MY VENTURE TOMORROW THOUGH!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!:)
 
Well wellllll well. Today was a great day I THINK!

Woke up, around 12:00PM..had my best friend sleeping over so we both woke up around 12..got around, and went to work with my mom.

We went to subway and I got a 6 inch Turkey hoagie with american cheese and mayonaise..Thats it..(And water to go along)

For supper then, I had chicken with parmasiean (Spelling?) sauce over it, then a slice of garlic bread. For drink, it was water again.

SSo thats all I ate today and hopefully I didn't go over a lot! I think i'm going to go up and walk on my treadmill and ride the exercise bike.

Hopefully I will be at 179.5 tomorrow morning WOOOT!! :D

SW:214................CW:180.5................GW:120​
 
Helllo!!​

YAY I woke up this morning and weighed 179.5 pounds WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT. I just weighed myself now and i'm at 178.5 now damn this weight is melting off fast now and i'm excited!!:)

SOOO it's 7:05PM. For food today, I had scrambled eggs with ketchup, and water. For lunch, I had some harvest wheat crackers. After school I had about 5-6 more harvest wheat crackers lol.

Thats all I had today, I'm probably under 200 cals. I know that really isn't enough..I don't know what to do to get my needed calories in. I'm scared to eat because I don't want to gain a pound in the mornings. I just want to keep going down. I even have a problem eatting those few crackers.

Well I don't know what's for supper yet, maybe a bowl of cheerios. Not sure..

This was a GOOD day though hittin the 170's :)!

APPROXIMATLEY 15 DAYS UNTIL HOLIDAY BAKING AND FUN STARTS!

Keep going strong as well everyone! I'm getting ready to go read some others journals:p
 
Try to eat at least 1200 calories a day, or all the weight that you lose, you're going to gain back when you start eating normally again. Plus, that will help you to avoid binges in the future... Eating below that is very unhealthy, and your body can go into starvation mode. All those negative things said about anorexics apply to normal sized people as well.

Can I ask how tall you are? 120 pounds seems rather thin for anyone over 5'4" ^_^ The doctors tell me that all the time, so I guess I know, lol.

Good job on your weight loss so far! I hope that you can keep it up healtily :)
 
Thanks for visting my diary!!! I am sure it wasnt that interesting....

I completely agree with korikun. You really should be getting 1200 cals in. I try to stay between 1000 - 1200 daily. Just try to eat a heathy 1200 cals. Also some physical activity is great. Since you are in school, do you have a gym class? Or try walking.

Way to go on the weight loss so far. I hope you get to fit into those Jeans in no time!... But do it healthily!!!!

Hello All!​

I woke up this morning and was 178.5!!!!! OMG I am so excited!! Man before I know it the 160's will be coming up. :D

I feel ashamed though. Today, I splurged and went to McDonalds and had a chicken nuggets meal with fries, with an M&M McFlurry. I was just starving and we were on the road and I thought "I've been doing so good this one time wont hurt", and now I feel like a big blob :(

This shouldnt happen at all because I normally eat my meals at home, and don't have to find something out.

Other than that I had some Kashi cereal this morning with a banana, and an apple and a few wheat crackers at lunch.

Well I will definently be walking on the treadmill and riding the bike tonight, maybe do some of the eliptical trainer too. I just hope I can at least stay the same weight tomorrow morning.

I wish I could have a day of the week to weigh myself so I see a bit more drastic changes but I just can't help it...every day i'm on that scale AT LEAST 10 times a day.

Hmm..:)
 
Hey!​

Woke up this morning and stayed at 178.5...I guess thats what a McFlurry, fries, and nuggets will do lol.:rolleyes: I felt GOOD and CONFIDENT in school today. My size 12 abercrombie jeans FINALLY WERE WEARABLE for school and i was SO EXCITED to wear them after never being able to wear jeans like that. YIPPEE!:D

I'm back on track today though!

I had some Kashi ceral with a banana for breakfast today, and for lunch, I had the usual..an apple and crackers.. For supper I had some chicken, with a baked potatoe and peas.

Ummm I excercised for about 30 minutes. 20 on the treadmill and 10 on the bike.

So i'm thinking tomorrow will be a good scale day!! I think I want to get some blood work done to see if anythings gone down like cholestoral (spelling?) etc.

Hopefully.. :)
 
Hello All.:) ​

My weight has been great..I weighed in at 177 pounds this morning I've lost a little over 6 pounds in the last 5 days. I am so happy about it, but I feel like i'm doing it unhealthy. I'm starving myself I feel..I get up and everything turns black and i'm dizzy, my stomach always feels hollow and empty, and I just feel sick. My jeans are fitting excellent though which really makes it all worth it.

I'm not sure though what to do about the eatting thing..I feel like if I can just make it to 120 doing this, then I can try to eat a little more to maintain.

I don't know..:confused:

Well have a good day everyone!:)
 
If you lose all of the weight that way, and you start eating more, it will be hard to maintain. I suggest don't letting yourself feel hungry as much as you are. Eat several SMALL meals throughout the day to keep yourself full. Start learning to eat right now, you might lose weight a little slower but it will be easier to maintain once you have lost the weight, and so much more worth it. That's just my two cents :D
Stay positive :)
