Kate's weight loss diary!

Funny how just trying on a bikini can take all your accomplishments right out of your head and make you feel like crap! hmm...I won't be doing that again. Not for another 30lbs.

Ugh, yeah, bikinis are killers...I can't even imagine wearing one until I reach my goal. Don't worry though, you look sooo good right now, you can totally pull it off!
 
Thanks guys.

It's turning into a bad week for me on a personal level, and that's why I haven't really been around much. I think i'll be happy if I stay the same weight this week. I haven't been working out as much as I usually do, although I have been staying under the right amount of calories I need to sustain my weight.

I guess we'll see but if I lose 0.1lb this week, I think I will thank Superman lol. I know it's not too late to get back on it til Sunday but I think until tomorrow, my head is too much of a mess!
 
Today I ran the furthest i've run since I've started this whole running kick! I did 2.75miles in 31 mins, and ran an 11 min mile. It wasn't too hard...I think the most painful thing actually was that I had to watch "The Voice" :p

I'm pretty proud of that. I am DREADING tomorrow mornings weigh in but I have been good today - counting calories and all that jazz.

I guess I should just remember, don't get discouraged if the number is higher than last weeks. I should realize that this week has been pretty sucky personally and not every week will be perfect.

Thank you for all your support guys - on here and off. I need it and appreciate it more than you will ever know!
 
So I gained .5 of a lb this week. I guess that's not too bad considering, and that by tomorrow it will probably be gone again...but still it's a lil bit discouraging.

I guess it proves that going to the gym really does pay off since this week is the first week I stopped doing weights and only ran 3 times.

Ah well, i'll get it next week. Good luck to everybody else xx
 
Aw, don't worry about it Kate. Everyone has bad weeks, it's part of life. It's amazing that you were going through personal crap but still managed to get out to the gym! That shows how strong you are. Keep it up, girl!
 
First of all, I want my ex to be like, GOD DAMN what the hell did I do... (as petty as that sounds, and as much as I shouldn't care what he thinks...I would also like to say a big FUCK YOU to him this way hehe)

I guarantee you, he will regret it. You are well on your way to hotness!!

Well thank you, that's nice of you to say :)

I've been away for a bit and haven't been having the best time emotionally. My old enemy depression seems to be creeping his nasty head back into my life right now and it's not very helpful.

Sorry guys - i'll be off and on for a bit til I get the help I need. I guess I am just embarrassed to ask for it on here - feel like I am not worth the trouble!

I hope you are all doing well on your journeys, i'm sure you are kicking ass.
 
Look after yourself. I'm very familiar with that particular black dog and I know how hard it can be on you.

Well we are here for you support. Don't be embarrassed, I mean I have a picture of my big azz belly posted on the internet for everybody to see in all it's glory. We all have something that is battling us in the inside, some sort of demon BUT we all have a common goal, to be fit and and healthy. Let us help you and ditto to you too, and we all shall conquer that battle of the bulge!!!

Oh Kate, I wish I could reach through the internet somehow and give you a huge hug! I know how debilitating depression is (major depression is what caused me to drown my sorrows in food and gain this weight in the first place). Medication and therapy can help, but there really is no perfect cure. Please do not be embarassed to ask us for help - I guarantee a huge percentage of people here understand what you're going through.

Sending love your way! Feel better.
 
Wow, thank you for the support guys...it really does mean a lot to me.

I'm not usually one to ask for help because I feel like I am being a bother - so it feels good to know that I can confide in all of you :)

I had some weight battles last week but I seem to be back on track this week. I wasn't sure if I wanted to write here and jinx it, but I am in the 160's for the first time since I was probably 14 or 15. It was definitely a big moment for me this morning...standing naked on a scale haha - sounds so stupid but hey!

Today I also made another achievement - I ran 2 miles at a 6.2-7mph pace without stopping. It took me 18min and 30 seconds, making it a 9:15 mile. I continued to reach the furthest distance to a 2.85miles in 30mins.

I finally feel good for the first time in a couple weeks so I just wanted to tell you guys!

Obviously, my proper weigh in day is on Sunday so fingers crossed I am still 169lbs by then! I will work my butt off to make sure that I am :)

Again to you all, thank you thank you thank you! You all mean a lot to me so i'm sorry for being a little MIA lately.

Thank you wiresandwood!!

So my official weigh in on Sunday was 169lbs. Yay! Only 4 more til I only have 20 more lbs to go. I know "only" sounds a bit funny when it's followed by "20" but it's way better than 56 or whatever it is that I started at :)

Ill keep you guys updated throughout the week!
 
Nice on the running. I know that's a feat because I'm on a daily jogging routine as well and I know it's hard to run 1 mile in less than 9 mins. Great work!
 
Thank you ninjaman!

I haven't been to the gym in a while because my work schedule has been absolutely crazy since that weekend of independence day. And it seems that as soon as I get home from work...even if i'm not tired from that day, I get into a fight with you know who and it goes on for hours.

That's not healthy, I know...but I feel a bit stuck to be honest :/

Anyway - I got a new scale that shows your weight to the exact point. I know I should have been using that from the beginning but ah well!

It's one of those fancy ones that calculates your body fat. Needless to say i'm a lil lost...all I really wanna know is my weight god dammit haha. I weighed myself this morning and I am 168lbs. 3 more til 165!

I work late tonight so I don't think I can get to the gym before it closes but, if not, i'll go for a run outside...if I can avoid the drama.

Aaah why does life have to be confusing!

Official weigh in day is tomorrow, let's hope it's still at 168.
 
Hey guys,

So today I am 168.4lbs - I got home from work and decided to lay in the sun for a bit (because I am SO DAMN PALE!!) and thought, hmm well let's try a bikini! I haven't worn a bikini before in my life, not in public, only to take photos of myself before in an effort to motivate myself to lose some weight.

Anyways, I guess I took this opportunity to take some progress photos that i'd like to share with you. I only have bikini photos from when I was about 15 ish lbs heavier, not when I was up at 201lbs, but hey - it's something right?

(Please excuse my looks in the first...and also i'm still not very comfortable with how I look!)

Feb 2011:



and of course, you can't have a before photo without one of your GUT!!!



Now:






And I guess you guys can tell me if you see any kind of difference! I still have 25-30lbs to lose, and then maybe even more...but I think what is important is being happy in my own skin...and I think i'm on my way :)



Hope you're all having a wonderful week!

Kate

ps: changed the bikini top for OBVIOUS reasons! :p
