I've done a couple of these before. I was pretty successful with my first one, but things have kind of gone downhill from there. I feel ready to do this weight loss thing once again. Woohoo!

Okay well...my name is Kristi, as you may have already figured out. I'm a senior in high school and a player on our girls soccer team. I thought going into soccer season that I would be able to keep the weight off and maybe even lose some. I think this was a pretty reasonable assumption since soccer is basically all running, but I have done exactly the opposite of what I was expecting.

I've gained 20 pounds at least (I haven't weighed myself in a while, as I am too ashamed). I could go on talking about how pathetic that is and blah blah blah but I really just want to jump right into positiveness.

It starts now. I start now.

My goal is to shed 20 pounds before January, the first 10 gone by mid-November. Is this reasonable?

I have soccer practice right now, and for the first time in a loooong time I am going to say that I hope coach runs our butts off! :)
 
Good Luck on your road to weight loss, keep plugging at it and Don't GIVE UP!! I'm sure if you watch what you eat, and drink a TON of water, and keep up with all that soccer, your going to lose rather quickly, after all you have age on your side. LUCKY little thing you!! Good luck!:):jump:

Good Luck Kristi!

Soccer is a butt load of running, but be careful with trying to lose weight while playing a sport!

Make sure you are eating enough calories, or else your body will go into starvation mode, and you will begin to perform poorly on the field.

But as long as your eating enough, drinking alot of water, I'm sure the weight will come off successfully.

Just an after thought, what are your stats? Weight, Height, etc...
 
Thank you for the encouragement and support everyone.

Temet, I am 5'4" and around 145. My goal is 120, so its more like 15 pounds that I want to lose, mostly in the stomach, back, and inner thigh areas.

Okay so time for a briefing of my day...

I ate decently. Had soccer practice, but we didn't do much of anything. I only remember breathing hard at one point in our practice. Tonight I am going to do some leg lifts and crunches. I know that they won't be a good substitute for "good" fitness, but it can't hurt to do them.

So I know everybody is always like "Do it for yourself. Do it to be healthy." And while I am doing it for myself, and I do want to be healthy, those really aren't the reasons why I am starting this dieting/fitness thing up again. To be completely honest, my boyfriend and I made a bet to see who could lose the most weight (relative to our starting weight of course because he is like 100 pounds bigger than me, so he will naturally lose more weight). I know my limits, so I won't go crazy or be obsessed with losing weight, but I do want to beat him. :) Plus, he is in college, so we won't get to see each other until Thanksgiving, and I really want to look better by the time he gets home. I have about a month. The reason why I want to lose weight is truthfully to look hot (or at least good). I'm always around girls with such slim bodies at soccer, and I just want to be like them, I suppose.

I guess I am a little immature with my reasoning, but as long as I do it and am able to control it, does that really matter? I dunno.
 
It's been a couple of days. I had a weekend camping trip...

I guess I'll start off with today's calorie intake.

Breakfast-bowl of rice chex and 1% milk 350 calories
Snack- Hashbrowns 300 calories
Lunch- 2 loaded nachos from Friday's & Bowl of chex 600 calories
Total = 1500 (added some for milk that I forgot)

I'm not really into this right now. My food choices reflect that well, I think. So much processed and fattening food. I need to step it up a bit because this is something that I can't just put 50% effort into and expect to see results. Once soccer ends I will be able to do this 100%.
 
I've made a decision that I am going to draw up my menu for tomorrow, tonight. This worked for me before, so I think it will be beneficial.

Breakfast
2 1/2 inch slices (equivalent to one serving) of banana bread
1 bowl of rice krispies

***1 bottle of water

Snack
Mixture of 1 cup cheerios and 1 cup frosted flakes

***1 bottle of water

Lunch
1 bowl of Campbells chicken noodle soup (not the best choice, but we're low on lunch food)
1 string cheese
5 saltine crackers

***1 bottle of water

Dinner
1 bowl of sweet and sour meatballs with green peppers and pineapples
1 slice of banana nut bread
1 glass of milk

Total = 1140 calories, so I have a little room for error.

I also have a game tomorrow, so I will be burning off another 500-600 calories. Is this okay? or should I up the amount of calories I'm eating?
 
hey there!

i see ur menu.. theres a couple suggestions

I think you can reasonably go up to 1800 calories a day and still lose the weight you want.

I'd recommend removing the sugar cereals though.

try special K in the blue box with protein, its good stuff! and just mind your salt in soups and such for the water retention.

I think you can reach your goal in a couple months! just run ur pretty heart out 3-4 times a week for about 45 mins
 
I've done well, today, I think.

I had a bowl of cereal and a slice of banana nut bread for breakfast, a bag of mixed cereal for a snack, and chicken noodle soup, a banana, and saltines for lunch.

Sweet and sour meatballs is to come for dinner. However, I am to go get some records at our animal hospital first because our cat has managed to free himself from his collar, and then proceed to hide the collar somewhere impossible to find. I also need to get cat food and a large package of water bottles at Krogers.
 
The sweet and sour meatballs hit the spot! I was so hungry by the time I got home because I went to the mall for about an hour, and I hadn't eaten since 1. Something that I have noticed helps me only have one helping is preparing a full plate before I sit down. Today I had my main course (meatballs) with rice, a banana, and a full glass of water. If I only eat the main course, then I am more tempted to keep going back for more.

My game was rescheduled for tomorrow because of rain, so I took a really long nap after school. I didn't get much sleep last night, so I slept from like 1:45 to 5. Yeah.:eek2:

Just something that's on my mind...I really miss my boyfriend. We've managed well so far with him being away at college, but right now I am having a hard time keeping my mind off of him. I guess last year was so perfect, and that makes this year so hard. We've been dating for almost three years, now, and before this august had only been apart from eachother for 7 days. So it's a bit of a change. I just need to suck it up. I guess there is something good in the fact that I won't be seeing him for a while. When he comes home, hopefully, he will see me as a slimmer, sexier hottie!:D haha

The only other big thing that I have going on right now is school and applying to college. I have my heart set on Wittenberg University in Springfield (Ohio). I absolutely love it. It's a beautiful, smaller, liberal arts school that has a good soccer team, a great coach, and everything else I am looking for in a college. I am so worried about what I will do if I don't get accepted. It's a fairly competitive admission process, and I only did decently in school (3.22 accumulative gpa), so I am kind of nervous. I've done a pretty good amount of community service and can write a nice essay, so I am hoping those 2 aspects will work in my favor.

hmm...now that I have revealed my life story, I think I can go do my homework. :) I'll be back later though to type up tomorrow's menu!

Oh yeah...these are 2 pictures of what I did this past weekend! I'm in the code red t-shirt!


Siiiinging (I was at choir camp! Sounds stupid, but I always have such a great time!)

and this is what I got to hold and play with on my free time

Big game today...

If we win this game, we are off to the district finals and guess who is most likely coming down to watch that game! My boyfriend! I'm so excited because 1) I love seeing my boyfriend and 2) I play 10 gazillion times better when he is watching! It's a win win situation for me!

On a more "weight-conscious" note...I ate well today. :) I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast, 1 slice of banana nut bread for a snack, and some leftover meatballs for lunch. Dinner is coming after my game, but I have confidence that I will do well in that area as well.

It has suddenly become freezing here in Ohio. I am going to need to get into some kind of gym if I want to be able to do some kind of physical activity this fall/winter.

WE WON! 2-1, so we are going to the district finals! This is the 3rd year in a row that we have gone to the finals. Hopefully, this will be the first year that we actually win districts!

oookay, tonight I stayed to watch a part of our guys team, and I had a little bit of my friend's soft pretzel, and a cup of hot chocolate because it was freezing. I just got home and I am going to eat half of a totinos pizza, which is about 350 calories I think. It's not great for me, but dinner is kind of last minute tonight.
 
I think I am going to skip school tomorrow and just go to practice. I've had such a bad (emotional) night, and I just can't focus on my homework. I have a huge unit test in government, and I really need to study for it or I will for sure fail. Plus, it's the first week of the quarter.

I said before that my boyfriend is going to come home this weekend to watch my game. Well, this didn't go over well with his dad. I understand where he is coming from, but there's a line that you just don't cross, and he does ALL the time. He's told Eric so many times that Eric better not fu** up in college or he won't have a home to come back to and so much more stuff like that. I am apparently a distraction, and it's gotten to the point where Eric caves whenever I ask him to do something and just automatically does it. Basically, his dad thinks that I force Eric to do whatever I want him to do. But all the time that I have helped Eric revise papers, do algebra homework, study, etc. doesn't get acknowledged. Nope, he doesn't even care to here that Eric decided to come home on his OWN, without my influence. Everything is just automatically my fault.

Let me tell you, I am tired of it. I finally broke down tonight and started crying about it to Eric. It means so much to me that Eric comes to this game, but I said that I don't want him to come if it's going to cause family issues.

I guess that I shouldn't get so worked up about this. I mean, it's been like this for 3 years. Nothing's changed. I guess I just look at my mom, who cares so much about Eric, who went to every football game of Eric's all the way to the state championship, who cried when he left to go to college, and I just feel like Eric's dad couldn't care less about me.

All of this and more came out when I was talking to Eric, and of course he started defending his dad because, well, its his dad. I know I would do the same. It wasn't smart of me to bash his dad, but I'm just so sick of how immature and stubborn he is.

UUUGGGGGGHHHH.
 
Oooookaaay...

Sorry for getting all emotional last night, but judging by the lack of any comments, I don't think that too many people read.

This morning found me eating another bowl of cereal. I think I need to add a little bit of variety or I am just going to wake up despising cereal one day. Lunch is probably going to be the second half of my totinos pizza.
 
Egh...I have practice from 3:30 to 5:00 then I have a performance at 7:00 where we sing at the middle school, as a sort of recruiting thing. THEN I have to come home and finish the homework that I put off last night. Yay! So much free time. haha
 
This weekend was not great to say the least. But I won't spend time feeling sorry for myself. Brighter days are soon to come! :)

We won the district championship! woohoo! so another 3 days at least of soccer!

I'm in a great mood right now! I just carved a sweet-looking jack-o-lantern that looks like a skeleton. It's awesome. :)
 
That's great that you won Districts! Good luck on the next game.:)

As to the bf's dad, well, I can see his point in not wanting his son's grades to suffer bc of his gf. However, to tell him he won't have a home to come back to if he doesn't do well, and to treat you the way he does is out of line. I'd just try not to let it get to me. :)
