The big comeback...?

Hi everyone, I'm back. Let me say, i know i was in a challenge at the time when i left, so sorry that i let everyone down but something happened that couldnt be helped. My best friend since kindy passed away, and after the funeral I had no motivation to lose weight, im still struggling and even less motivation to post or bother with anything at all really. For ages I just kind of sat and cried, sometimes I even wanted to join her and find her because i couldnt think what the world is without her. I'm not sure what told me to stay and start the things I used to do back up again, but the other day i stepped on the scales and id gone up to 114kgs. I saw that and I just thought, if I died tomorrow Ill look like this forever, and i dont want her to see me like this when we meet up in heaven. I dont want her to know that her passing meant pain and suffering for me too. I want her to see that I can be everything she wanted me to be, to show her that her strength was still inside me. The worst part of it all was that we had been fighting, so for ages I thought id lost her and was sad that i didnt have a best friend anymore. The guilt is incredible, why wasnt i smart enough to see that i hadnt lost her, all it would have taken was words. All that time i lost with her ill never get back and I hate myself for that. But hating myself and killing myself are two different things. I want to be healthy and find happiness so when it is my time, we can laugh and run and fly through the dimensions of the world like we used to.

Sorry About All Your Misfortune And I Am Sure You Can And Will Do This!!!
 
you asked about measuring bodyfat in my diary, here are some links for you.




the above links give you a guide to General Body Fat Percentage Categories




the above link describes how to take the measurements


for measuring your bodyfat you need a set of calipers which you should be able to buy from a chemist or online but it is better if you can get an experienced person to do the measurements for you. You can also buy scales which will measure your bodyfat percentage but the are usually not as accurate as calipers. If you have a gym membership you should be able to get it done there. I have my measurements taken approx every 6 weeks at the gym.

BMI is ok for a guide but can be way out because it can rate a fit muscular person the same as an unfit fat person just because they have the same height and weight BMI does not take into account your build.

I am 5'2 and 85 kg which if you look at BMI i am obese but i am healthy when it comes to bodyfat because i have a lot of muscle and heavy bone structure and I don't look obese, just solid. I would have to have a 0% bodyfat to reach my ideal BMI weight lol but the healthy minimum is 10-12%

I hope this helps
Cheers

Thank you so much for that info Trusylver! I went to those sites straight away and...all i can say is now im scared haha. I'll definitly start working on reducing body fat percentage as well as scale weight. Thanks again!:) and to you to RNW, i appreciate it very much
 
Hey there! Sorry to hear about your friend, its aweful dealing with losses, it took me two years after my mom died to get that same,"maybe I should start trying to be healthier" thing that you have. I really hope you stick with us this time, I feel like a big idiot cuz I feel bad if I'm away from the forum for a weekend lol... Looking forward to trackin your progress, and have a wonderful day tomorrow!!
 
Hi there. Firstly I would like to say I am really sorry for your loss. I understand how that would of affected you and pulled you off track. But now is definitly the time to change the direction the scales are going in. This is the first time I have come across your diary. I always like to read from begining and I must say that I found it a really good read. You have a great sense of hummor and you were doing really well. You really remind me of my self, especialy the way you refer to cookies as evil, lol thats how I describe them. At the end of my first pregnancy I found my self at 105kg, mucked around with the diet thing for awhile, and didnt get serious till I hit the 114kg mark. I just would like to encourage you now to take control of it at this stage. When you get to this weight its really easy to want to give in, cause its a hard slogg, but I didnt take control of it and before I new it I am wear I am now 135kg. So much more to lose now I wish I could go back and take control of it when I first thought to at 114kg. I know you can do it. A whole new start and a fresh out look. Dont look back and dont hang onto regrets they will on hold you still instead of moving forward. Think back to some of your first posts. I loved it when you put that Your partner would be suffering when you lose your weight and are staring in a bikini add with Elle Mchpherson. I laughed so hard as I have a similar revenge in mind for my hubby lol. Hope you are having a good week and your motivation is stronger then ever.:)
 
Wednesday...Actual first day

:D Hey all!
Alright heres how today went so far..
Breakfast
A bowl of left over curry veggies
1 tsp Peanut butter
Black Coffee
Then i sort of fell asleep a few hours after...
Lunch
Salad
1 Teaspoon Peanut Butter
Snack
1/3 Wholewheat wrap
3 Sugarfree drops
1/2 Slice wholemeal bread with Peanut butter
Dinner
Curry vegetables
Noodles
30mls of sauce

Totals for today
Grams : 800
Calories : 600
Protein : 10g
Fat : 11g
Saturated fat : 5g
Carbs : 76.5g
Sugar : 32g
Fibre : 8g
Sodium : 1100g
Water total : 600mls (but i have the rest sitting here waiting to be downed)

Good Decisions :
  • No dressing on salad
  • Water and cordial instead of pepsi
Bad Decisions :
  • Sauce on vegetables
  • Slept during the day
  • Snuck in 1/3 Wrap
Ok, hows it look? lol. I think thats not to bad, i need to cut down on the amount of sugar im having (its onlly coming from the sauce).
I also havent done any exercise as yet, but we have had visitors since and i find it hard to get rid of them, so im about to do that now.
I'll do an exercise dvd, walking, some crunches and weights and also a stretch.
All in all, quite a good day i think, i think i might start that rice diet soon, ill just lose a few kilos first and get through the food in the fridge (slowly!!!) before i start just having certain foods:D

 
Thanks so much Zoila! I only just read ur post. Its awesome having people i can relate to and that relate to me actually existing, who knew im not from pluto! :p lol

A whole new start and a fresh out look. Dont look back and dont hang onto regrets they will on hold you still instead of moving forward.
