Sounds good but the truth is I (sorta accidentally) skipped lunch, so I was STARVING by 5 o clock and I thought, "I've still got all those calories left for today!" So I actually ate those two 'meals' above, only 2 hours apart and now I feel absolutely stuffed!!!!! Not the best way to do it I know! But at least I burned off a few of those icky calories before I ate them :)
 
i know, sometimes i cant help but have a not so standard eating day and anytime you eat more than 800 calories too close together can get ya stuffed!--dont forget it's not only about how many calories you eat, it's about how you feel while/after you ate them.
 
I know. I used to love that full feeling!! Now I just feel uncomfortable :rolleyes: I'll try to remember this next time I skip lunch!!
 
I know what you mean - I used to love that fullness too.. now it just makes my want to go lay down, like I feel sick! Anyway - you are doing fantastic!! Keep up the great work. You're nearly halfway there!! How exciting!!
 
I'm back!

Hey all!!

Haven't been on for a few days, been busy and this has kinda taken a back seat!! (Though Ive still been counting calories and exercising :) )

Been doing OK, keeping under 1500, except for yesterday when I kinda had a 'day off' and made the most of it too!! I don't think it's a coincidence that the willpower started to slip after a few days not coming on this forum!!! I honestly think the encouragement, motivation, and especially the sense of accountability I feel posting on here helps keep me on track, so I'm gonna try and post every day again! Or every other day at least.

:D

Hope your all doing well, I'll post my journal later

Kz

PS On Monday (my weighday) I'd lost 1 more pound since last monday. Not fantastic, but its moving in the right direction :)
 
hey kez! congrats on the lb gone! and i know what you mean about the forum and the sense of accountability - posting on here definitely gives me my motivation!!

Im feeling confident that I'll lose another couple of pounds this week even though I had an off day!!! Y'know, I can honestly say I can see myself eating like this for the rest of my life. Sometimes I think it is surprising how much you can eat for under 1500cals!! And still lose weight!!
 
Hiii Kez!!! I haven't been in here for a while.. I know what you mean about eating like this. I am shocked as hell that I come in under nearly every day just because I feel like I'm eating soooo much. Keep up the great work girly, you're doing fantastic!!
 
Weight loss, there has been weight loss!

Hey all, Monday morning is my weigh day, and I am happy to announce I have lost another 2.5 pounds this week yay yay yay!!!!!!!!!

Only got 2.5pounds more to go til my BMI is officially healthy again, and only 0.5 pounds til I have lost 10% of my body weight!!! Oh my GOD this feels good! Watching the scale go down! It's better than sex!

I am SO determined to lose another 2.5 pounds this week, so this time next week I can say my BMI is healthy!!! I am not gonna stop at the maximum possile healthy weight, as you can see from my ticker. At 125 pounds I will be healthy AND happy, and have got a bit of room to fluctuate eg at Christmas!!

So, how am I gonna lose 2.5 pounds this week:
1) Stick to 1300cals a day (not my usual 1500, I wana be SURE to lose it, I WANT TO BE HEALTHY NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!)
2) Walk at least 1 hour a day (I do this anyway)
3) Do extra exercise on top of the walking.
Today I'll do my Carmen Electra fitness DVD
Tuesday I'll walk an extra 30 minutes on top of my hour.
Wednesday I'll do water aerobics, or my Davina workout dvd.
Thurs get up early and go to the gym
Fri day off
Sat yoga dvd
Sun swim
4) Drink lots of water (2L at least)

Pretty hardcore, more exercise and less food than usual but I am feeling so motivated right now!!! Oh, and
5) post my journal on here EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off to change my ticker :D :D :D

Hey all!!

Ok. I am very tempted just to skip over these past few days and start again tomorrow without talking about these past 2 days, but that defeats the whole point of me coming on this forum and being accountable to you guys!!

First, I feel very silly for messing up this week, after being so determined and motivated on Monday. I think I've probably messed up my chances of reaching a healthy BMI by Monday :( I don't know, maybe it's not too late. Mainly I am ANGRY with myself :mad: and embarrased :confused: for messing up!! Never mind. It was only 2 days, and it could have been worse. And I'm back on the straight and nawrrow now. Maybe this week is not too late to be rescued!!

So, problems started yesterday lunchtime. Had the normal healthy lunch I'd planned, then started craving, and without really thinking I wolfed down 2 rounds of peanut butter and jam sarnies and some chocolate as well. Then went to a fireworks display in the evening and ate some fatty cheese sarnies, a caramel slice and 2 and half little donuts.

Today, not much better. BIG bowl of cereal for breakfast, then to uni, had a big presentation to do. Afterwards, we all went to the pub (even though it was only 11 o clock lol, well, we are students after all!!) I ate a big bagguette with cheese and wedges, then got home and ate a yorkie bar and a whole tin of rice pudding aaargh!!!!!

So, there's my little confession session. As I said, straight and narrow again now. Problem is, tomorrow am off to my brothers for a fireworks/late halloween party, with all the party food and drink that will involve!! The problem is, there's always some excuse. Some party, something to celebrate. commiserate, and I tend to do all that with food!!

Never mind. I'm not gonna beat myself up any more, just get on with it!!

Am gonna work out calories for today even though it'll be terrible (not gonna do yesterday tho ;) ) Here goes:

Breakfast
Huge bowl spesh K and milk 300

Lunch
Baguette with coleslaw, cheese, potato wedges 860 (ish)
Yorkie bar 300 (managed to pick possibly the most calorific choc bar off the shelf!!)
Rice pudding and jam 400

Dinner (after kicking self up the arse and getting back on track)
Sweet potato baked 250
Steamed veg 30

Total calorie intake today =2500 :eek:

(I've done worse in the past, but its not exactly the day of someone on a diet is it!!)

Exercise
Walk 1 hour burns 250ish cals

Well, there it is!!! I'll be so good tomorrow, even at my bros party, I'll make y'all proud!!! :)

That's not too bad...on an average day you probably burn around 2,000 calories anyway. With exercise, I'm sure this isn't enough to affect you overall. Keep your chin up!
 
It's OK!! :)

I weighed this morning (cheeky, I'm not supposed to til Monday) but I've lost a pound this week already, despite my two naughty days!! It's just a good thing I was so good Mon thru Wed!! I MIGHT still be able to make my goal by Monday, I'm sure as hell trying anyway!!! Just been to gym, v hardcore workout, rather knackered now but it feels great!!! Will post later with todays journal.

:D
