Hello everyone...again... :waving:
After a period of ups and downs (mostly downs), I am back on this battle with weight loss. And I'm starting this journey with a new diary.
A little info about me: I’m 28, 98.5 kg (216.7 lbs) and 169 cm. A year ago, I managed to get down to from 95 (209 lbs) to 84 kg (185 lbs) but but life (aka work) intervened and I gained it all back.

Also, I was diagnosed a couple years ago with PCOS and its really hard losing weight.

Since the initial plan worked, I’m going back to it. That means:
- 1200 kal daily
- 30 – 40 min exercise daily (stationary bike alternating with 30 Days Shred)
- Eventually, I’ll get to 50 min of elliptical twice a week (I’m planning on getting a gym membership in August, if not earlier…)

My short term goal is 90 kg (198 lbs) by October 1st, 2013 and 79 kg (174 lbs) by January 1st, 2014.

As far as Day 1 went:

Breakfast: wholegrain cereals with lactose free milk (231 kal)
Morning snack: Peaches (96 kal)
Lunch: Grilled turkey breast with vegetable salad (447 kal)
Afternoon snack: almonds (69 kal)
Dinner: salad with light feta cheese (315 kal)

Overall 1158 kal

Exercise: 40 min on the stationary bike

Overall, I had a pretty good first day…:hurray:
 
Great!
Glad you are here.
One good day is one good day!
I look forward to seeing your progress.
Nice people here...welcome
 
Thanks brawny77 for your welcome...you'll see me around quite a bit because I'm definitely here to stay...
 
Food looks good for the first day lovely! I started off at 216 but have stalled recently--maybe seeing you drop pounds will encourage me as well! xx
 
Day 2:

Breakfast: wholegrain cereals with lactose free milk (231 kal)
Morning snack: Peaches (80 kal)
Lunch: Grilled turkey breast with vegetable salad (346 kal)
Afternoon snack: almonds (69 kal)
Dinner: salad with light feta cheese (445 kal)

Overall 1171 kal

Exercise: 40 min on the stationary bike

Forgot to mention yesterday – my weight in day is Tuesday. It’s kind of a weird day to weight, but I have an appointment to weight professionally every Tuesday for the next 2 months. That includes a details analysis muscle/fat/water, but I’m not brave enough to post my fat percentage online yet.

Thanks everyone for your words. They’re encouraging and motivating. I’m happy to be back and on this journey towards a healthier me. :seeya:

Morning snack: Peaches (64 kal)

Didn’t have time yesterday to post my food. Considering I spend the day with my colleagues at a team-building, surrounded by food, I did pretty well, just 377 kal over. And I managed to do a whole hour of exercise.
Today was better. I stayed within limit. Also I managed to increase my water intake, which is a super good thing…
My feet are buzzing to get on the scale at home, but I’m resisting the temptation of weighting everyday. I wish Tuesday will get sooner. See ya…
 
I'm on day 1 of L1 now. A couple of weeks ago I did 10 days of L1 and it was pretty tough the first few days because I haven't exercised in a year. I think L2 and L3 are tougher so I might stay more on one level.
 
I shall start up the 30 day shred again tomorrow as well. How did you find it? It was so hard for me!

Well done on the brilliant first four days :)
 
I need to start the 30day shred tomorrow. Hope it's not too bad. I've been out of exercise for nearly 3 years!!!!
 
Day 5
Breakfast: wholegrain cereals with lactose free milk (231 kal)
Morning snack: Nectarine (101 kal)
Lunch: grilled chicken breast and cucumber salad (469 kal)
Afternoon snack: almonds (69 kal)
Dinner: oven backed zucchini with feta cheese (218 kal)

Overall: 1088 kal

Water: 3 liters

Exercise: rest day

Ruth – I found all three levels on youtube. There are a lot of videos uploaded with home exercises. I actually have a couple of workout dvd’s but I find it easier to search on youtube.

a-n-g-e-l – it’s a little difficult at first but your endurance actually increases. I went from 3 jumping jacks and feeling I might die to 17 in a row (but this is just for the first set when I’m not tired).

Good luck both of you on the 30DS!!!

See ya...

Dinner: tomato salad with feta cheese (315 kal)

Overall: 1177 kal

Water: 2 liters

Feeling very tired and crappy due to TOM. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to exercise and stay awake more…

I just came from the doctor’s office and my weight is 97 kg (213.4 lbs). I lost 1.5 kg in a week. My fat percentage also decreased. I am soooo happy.:party:

On the other hand, if I had more energy, I would have done some exercise, but again I’m supper tired and lethargic so I’m going to go to sleep early. I'll get back to exercise as soon as I feel up to it...

Ruth – sorry, my mistake about the question…Regarding 30DS – initially I was quite skeptical, but in the end I kinda like it. And my body is adapting to all those jumping jacks…
 
Day 8
Breakfast: wholegrain cereals with lactose free milk (231 kal)
Morning snack: Peaches (80 kal)
Lunch: chicken breast and thigh and cabbage salad (396 kal)
Afternoon snack: 4 mini pain-au-chocolat (387 kal)
A. Snack 2: coc cola (200 kal)
Dinner: 2 mini pain-au-chocolat; apple cake(387 kal)

Overall: 1.682 kal

Water: 2 liters

I won’t comment on today’s food choices. Pain-au-chocolat are my weaknesses…..And I have 2 more work lunches in the following days…so not a good week for weight loss. But hopefully I will get some exercise until my next weight in…see ya
 
Hey, I'm started again myself. I've restarted a few times now. Once was my own fault, I stopped and gained back my weight. And then I got prenant, twice! I'm pretty sure I'm done with having kids, so now I can try and focus on losing this weight. I'm just glad I did lose my baby weight, plus some extra, after #1. Otherwise I'd have a lot more to lose. But anyway....

Good luck to you on your journey! We can do it this time!

Pretty bad day considering all the sweets I ate and no exercise. One more day and I will be back to normal, non-festive eating. Can’t wait for tomorrow evening to come so that I can burn some Kcal.
Thanks everyone for your encouragements. I have a specific goal in mind and I am not stopping until I reach it. See ya…
