Kiwi's Diary

It's great you've got that under control! I know how stressful finals can be. I'm dreading when classes start in two weeks! Keep it up!
 
I hope finals are going okay, and well done you for not binging. I know how stressful college exams can be!! Sometimes you just want to throw the towel in and eat the entire house.

Goodluck in your exams hun and you are doing great!!:)
 
Good morning guys!!!!

I have some great news! I am FINALLLY 174.4!!! I checked the scale a good 3 times to make sure it was correct! And i'm still hoping its correct LOL!

So, i have been noticing some changes in my weight when i made a few changes to my lifestyle. I'm not sure if its just a mere coincidence or it actually works hehehe but i'll keep you guys posted on that :p

Here is what i have changed in my lifestyle now (i stopped working out because of finals but i will def get back to working out right after my finals are over!):

1. Green tea before/after meal 3 times a day (morning, lunch, night)
2. I stopped eating my last meal by 7pm-8pm as go to bed around 11-12pm

I have read couple of posts here saying it doesn't matter how late you eat as calories in is just calories out. But, i have been stuck at the same weight for couple of months now and i've only started seeing changes in my weight when i did the 2 things mentioned above! We'll see how it goes!

And yes, its sooooooooo flipping hard to not eat anything and everything when i'm studying! But one thing that helps me avoid that is telling myself my goal and why i'm doing this in the first place and if i did go all out....the consequences wouldn't be good!

I hope you guys are doing well! :)<3
 
quick update:

This morning i weighed 173.8 lb !!! I hope its the same or less tmr!

Alright, back to studying. See ya :D
 
Update: This morning i weighted 173 lb EXACTLY!!!!!:jump:

I think the green tea & 7pm dinners are really working 0_o?

...but it seems like im shedding off pounds rather quick :s


Another update:

Aug 14th 2011: I weighed 172.6 lb... and im starting to freak out. I seem to be loosing weight quick...i mean im HAPPY but its just freaky... I hope my scale isnt wrong but ive been going to the bathroom regularly now. So maybe that can be a reason. I'm also eating more healthier...tyring to put in that romaine leaf in my sandwiches and wraps... I do not take the meal replacement shake as much and I am NOT feel hungry every half hour hehe... I'm getting more satisfied and full with my meals. Most of the things i eat are still the same as before minus the protein shakes and adding more veggies. I'm still consuming 1200 calories...

I have some good and bad news...
Good news: I havn't gained while i was studying...which is a very big accomplishment for me as i always tend to eat anything and everything during exam time!
Bad news: I went on vacation for 3 days and i had to eat at fastfood places like mcdz :(, burger king etc... and i'm back up to 175.6!! :(

I'm not going to let this discourage me though...i lost before and i can definitely loose it again!

AI can totally relate to binge eating. Just about a month ago every single night I would gorge on toast peanut butter doritoes dip packs of biscuits. I'd go to the pound shop and buy just biscuits cadburys crunch bars and I'd scoff the lot. I've never felt so low and disgusting in my life as I did after a binge and the frustrating thing is...I don't know why I did it. I'm not stressed at work, I enjoy my job, have a lovely boyfriend and great friends. I always thought that I liked to feel full and if I didn't feel full I had it in my head that I was hungry.
Now I've not binged for over 3wks although I did relapse today and spent a fiver in the pound shop on the usual stuff whereas before I would've ate it all but today I ate just a bar of whole nut and cadburys caramel and a handful of chocolate Brazil nuts which some people will consider this a lot... I don't this is tame. But I'm not worried I've discovered what it is that makes me feel hungry and I know now I won't do it again.
How r u getting on with the binge eating?
 
Hey ski bunny!

It sucks that you don't even need to have a "reason" to binge eat... I totally understand what you mean by eating till you feel "full". I used to keep stuffing my face until i feel like i'm going to explode if i take one more bite. If i didn't feel like im stuffed....i tend to think im going to get hungry or i didn't eat enough...which is complete nonsense. Aside from that, i also eat during exams because i feel like i need the "energy" to keep studying. I feel like i'm more "awake" after i eat something (usually junk or huge meals) and ofcourse the 10 million cofffeee. Most of the weight i put on are mainly due to the 2 reasons mentioned above and the lack of exercise.

I think i am getting better at controlling my binge eating. Late night hungers were a big issue for me before but now i don't feel as hungry in the night. And surprising this time around, i didn't even drink coffee or binge eat during exams. Since i don't get as hungry earlier during the day...i keep most of my calories for the night so for dinner i eat something thats high in calories and soemthing that is filling. It keeps me full till bedtime. So far it has helped me...although i'm not really shedding off any pounds :S....its still better than gaining!
 
Hey Kiwi,


I've just started up classes again and I seem to be the opposite of you. When I'm studying I don't eat. All my focus and energy is on what I'm doing. So now I'm actually going to have to force myself to eat, and I don't have any complaints about that! lol!
 
fleurdelis, you so lucky girl! I would LOVE to force myself to eat hehehe. I hope your classes are going well. I'm starting my classes again in september...its going to be a struggle but i know i can do this! I'll probably be loosing more weight once school starts because ive decided to go workout at the school gym everyday and i'm not getting a transportation pass so i'm going to be forced to walk to school and back &amp; ofcourse the stairs instead of elevators! I'm pretty excited to get back to school...JUST because i'm going to be alot more active than now..hehe
 
I know im not on here as much as i would like to.... and my weight loss isn't really going anywhere. I stopped calorie counting mainly because im in "lazy mode" and eat what mom has cooked and what she cooks are cultural food which is i guess healthy? but also ALOT of calories! I'm just eating them in moderation...

yesterdays weight was 174.8... I need to get back on track so i figured coming on this site abit more often will motivate me to get back to calorie counting.
 
Current weight : 175.2 lb

Gained a bit from before but i'm not going to lose hope!

I decided not to get myself a bus pass this month. This is forcing me to walk back and from school as i have no choice but to walk. I've started taking the stairs as well. I'm going back to calorie counting slowly...its getting hard with school :(
 
I havn't been on this forum for soo long! I miss you guys!!!


Ive been so busy with school and etcc :( My weight is still the same...no loss/gain.

Good news: I ordered food from the food court the other day... i had abit of salad, chicken, some pita bread thingy &amp; fries on the side. The plate was really BIG but anyhow.. i realized that i sorta felt disgusting when i was eating the fries! I had 2 pieces of fries ofcourse, but i had a hard time just munching on it and then to swallow...yuck! I was SUPER happy knowing that my body has learnt to find fries yucky hehe...the old me would have finished the fries first and then hit the salad last..

So, that was fun :)

I'm going to try and post more often on the forum. I'm going to be reaching the gym soon....maybe i'll go today? mmm
 
Welcome back to the forum kiwi, well done on maintaining your weight!! Thats brilliant:)


Thats great that you dont like fries anymore, i think they are DEVINE.


I hope you can make it online more often so we can hear updates of your weight progress:)


All the best:)
 
Rant time : omggggggg i have not lost any frikken weight since forever!!!! Still the same weight of 175 lb. Its starting to really bug me now. I just wanna see those pounds shedding off. I'm fed up of how lazy i can be. I joined the school gym and i STILL havn't been to it.. not even once! I promised to wake up super earlie to go workout...yet i end up sleeping in and waking up later in the afternoon and then feeling lazy to go workout. It's starting to really get to me and making me depressed. Everytime i plan to hit the gym...i end up telling myself "ill go tmr" and tmr never happens. okay i'm done ranting...


So it's october 1st today. I decided to change my habits. I WILL get up at 6 am and go to the gym NO MATTER WHAT every morning! Then i will come home to study/take notes. If i can do this for one month...i will treat myself to that hair straightner that ive been wanting for so long.


I'll be back here with some good news ;)

Take care all and i hope you guys are doing great on your loss.
