i have discovered recently that there are no quick fixes whatsoever and that to really get things done you have to do them the hard way i love changing my relationship with food i now have something to look forward to when i get on the scales i get all excited like on xmas day.

i now know that losing weight gives me a much bigger buzz than stuffing my face with cream cakes. i can't wait to drop dress sizes. i started out at 19 stone and 5lbs i have just got down to 18 stone 9 lbs and it would be amazing if i could drop a dress size or 2 before my birthday which is a few months away. if i can lose 10lbs just from having the good stuff in moderation for 2 weeks then i'm sure i can do it. the best thing is i don't miss any food whatsoever and it makes me really happy when i read before and after stories give's me hope that i can do it. i know that it has only been 2 weeks but it has been one of the toughest two weeks of my entire life.

wish me luck! :D i need to get down to a much healthier 11 something stone. i am nt doing this because i want to be a stick insect but because i really wana be healthy inside and out and have more energy.

Good luck! Hopefully you will take the moderation you learn over your two week goal and apply it to your life. It will definately help you not regain it.
 
Yay for not wanting to be a stick-insect! I want to be healthy, but I want to keep my chest and my butt! Curves are sexy and beautiful, it's just important to be within a healthy BMI and weight :D

You sound like you're on the right path. What steps did you take to lose the weight you've already lost? And do you mind if I ask your height and age? Also doing a food and exercise diary might help you keep track of things! Of course, it's up to you. It's your body and you have to find your own methods but sharing them may help others!
 
oo thanks for your luck and i dont want to lose my boobs it took me 18 years to grow them and there finally a good size haha i'm awful forgetful so food diaries don't work as great as i'd like them too. i'm somewhere around 5'7 i think and the steps i've taken, well i've cut out all chocolate because it's not that great anyway, just gives you toothache and makes u feel heavy and sick but i allow myself if i truly want it, to have a bar but i haven't wanted it yet after xmas all i wanted was to eat salad and fruit so i've just made sure i'm eating loads of fruit even when i'm not that hungry to fill me up i cut it all up so i can snack on it throughout the day also i have only 2 slices of bread a day. i love walking so i mainly go walking upto the beach and i'm going to take up swimming which will be a challenge because i think i look bad in a costume but you gotta start somewhere right and i bought some exercise vid thats reli quite intense but i can feel it working already. My goal is to lose 30lbs in 6 weeks but even if it doesn't happen which isn't that likely i'm still guna be happy with the result.

and yeah curves are great i wouldn't wana look like a lolipop it really anoys me the way girls in magazines are always stick thin and they are labelled real women. x good luck to you too
 
hellooooo :)
welcome!!! moderation is key! you still gt to enjoy the good stuff and lose weight too! Just try to keep track of your calorie intake, sometimes you wont even realize how much you are truly eating!
good luck!!

and also, set yourself small and realistic goals, therefore their easier to accomplish! and try to keep the scale hidden. Weigh yourself once a week it'll help you look forward to it and you wont get upset over a 0.2 weight gain....

thanks i always calorie count my mum is going to hide the scales from me cos im like weighing myself everyday which is really bad but i can't help it its like an addiction! but i'll have to stop doing that cause it does get me down but i'm not going to stop healthy eating ever i recently had a death in my family due to heart related issues because of weight so i need to do it for my health.
 
Everytime I hear the word stone I think of that Jillian whatshername's show: You are What You Eat that used to be on the BBC channel. I was addicted to it, lol! Good to hear that you have a healthy body image in mind- and I agree with you, stick thin is NOT sexy.. Ish.

Sorry to hear about the loss in your familiy.... my mom died of heart issues just over six years ago- high blood pressure AND a smoker- so I know what ya mean- I wanna break the cycle before it happens to me, too.

Keep up the great work, and I look forward to your progress! :D
 
aww i'm so sorry for your loss x im sure we'll break the cycle

today iv eaten half a sache of some healthy pasta thingy
an orange
and a pint of water

i forgot to have breakfast but i'm not hungry at all. i think i'm going to drink more water. Everyone has been saying how much happier i am and how i'm not as moody i think this is cause i no longer have my choco withdrawral. i also think i'm going to eat until i'm no longer hungry rather than eating til i feel full. i weighed myself today and i've put 2lbs on but i think thats because of monthly issues i dunno if it's true but you always weigh heavier around then. lucky men!

i'm going for a really long walk later and then eating a health jacket potato and some tuna and salad for tea. i'm getting sooo impatient i just cnt wait to buy pretty clothes and all that jazz got ages to go for that though but if i give up i'll just put stone after stone on and i really don't want that. it seems stupid that i'm moaning like it's somebody elses fault i'm in the mess! but i put the food in my mouth and lay around watching daytime tv! i just have to think about why i'm doing this, it's for my health and my happyness and i'm not going to be the reason i'm unhappy. good luck people!
