Here goes nothing I guess...
This is the story of my blubber.
When I was in Jr High and the first two years of high school, I thought I was HUGE at 180 pounds and 5 foot 8. Compared to the other girls, I was. They were all 5 foot nothing and weight 100 pounds. I dieted (sort of) and worked out all the time.
Then, my sophomore year in high school, I met the love of my life (we've been together now for 18 months). We would go out to eat every weekend, get ice cream, go to movies and get candy... you know what that means. I gained 70 pounds in less than a year. I've been at a steady 250ish since Christmas. I'm ready to say GOODBYE to this and be a better, healthier me.
I hope this website will help me and the people here can be supportive.

So, here's the plan:
Starting weight: 250 (I can't even look at it!)
Current: 244.8 (5.2lbs WHAT WHAT!)
Goal for 1/01/08: 240
Ultimate Goal (September 08): 180 baby!

Not in a good mood this morning, didn't even want to see my weight (but might go look out of curiosity).
Smoking pot ruins your diet. End of story. Pot=Munchies=Forgetting what you ate.
Plus, I'm sitting at home, bored, with no money nothing to do, no job, no homework... nothing to do but sit around and eat food. I ate 2 pieces of a Hershey's bar and I bowl of Apple Jack's. Not doing so great. I'm going to have a sugar crash later and force myself on the elliptical.
My mom pisses me off too. She just got gastric bypass and she'll sit there and fill the tiny stomach she has with junk. She sits on her lazy ass and eats. Then complains that she can't lose weight. Dear God, please help me lose weight now so I will never be like that.

Anyway. That's all for now. I think I might go weigh myself. Eek!
 
And the verdict is... 248. Still.
That's a good thing. Didn't gain anything. :D

I have great news though. And I've found a way to lose weight... I think.

So this is what I've discovered.
At my weight, 40 minutes on the elliptical will burn ~460 calories.
3500 (the amount of calories in a pound) divided by 460 is a little more than 7.
7 days is a week! So I could lose a pound a week!

Let's do some more math. See if I can lose 2 lbs a week!

At my weight, 60 minutes on the elliptical will burn ~684 calories.
3500/684= ~ 5
That would be like a pound an a tiny little bit.

And I honestly don't think I can spend 60 minutes on that thing.
But I'm going to force 40! Everyday!

being young helps with that.
i take it pretty easy in the last 10 minutes.


today, i ate like a FAT pig.:piggy: i had emotional issues today, but I worked out and didn't really eat THAT much.

i guess i'm just trying to make myself feel better. HAH!
 
Hey and welcome! I can definitely relate to the weight gain by doing random date activities.. AND IT SUCKS. Good luck on everything.. it sounds like you have some ideas of where you want to go AND how you are going to get there! I wish you the best of luck and I'll keep peeking in to see how you are doing!
 
Having a really difficult time with my boyfriend.
His friends make him a totally different person.
He says he wants "time".
I don't know what that means.
I talked to him last night, and he dumped me.
I didn't sleep at all last night and went to see him this morning and we talked, and I cried and had a total meltdown.
I think he's confused. I know he loves me and he tells me that but he just doesn't know what life would be like without me and he wants to know.
We love each other and we don't need to be fighting.
After a long talk, of him saying that he needed time over and over he said he would call me sometime today.
Now that I've calm down, I'm wondering if "time" for him wouldn't be so bad. I wonder if he would still talk to me during that "time".
I know I'd have to work really hard to get him back and I'm willing to work for him because I love him so much and I want him to be happy.
I'm just scared that he'll find that he's better off without me and never come back to me.
We love each other and I'm not going to let these last 18 months be wasted.
 
Lost 2.2 pounds, even while stuffing my face during Thanksgiving.

Probably from all the stress with my ex.
Update with him -- we're on a "break", whatever that may mean.:banghead:
 
I've lost 17 pounds in less than 2 weeks!... by not eating anything.

I'm afraid I'm going to go *hesitates* anorexic... but I love losing weight so maybe we can work this all out.

I'm single now, I'm gonna be sexy and I have a new job. I'm making myself better everyday! :biggrinjester:
