THANKS EVERYONE! It's so great for me to see the changes in my own body when I compared the photos. What a difference working out and eating healthy makes!

I wanted to add more variety to my workout routine so I'm doing COUCH TO 5K now! It only requires 3 workouts a week, so I'll do it every other day between my normal cardio routine. I'm pretty excited to be able to run 5K. It sounds like such a nice long distance. I know 5K isn't very far but I'm not a runner. I hate it. I'd rather do laundry - and I HATE laundry. ;) Anyway I think it'll be good for my body to get some variation in workout in too so that it doesn't start to plateau. I gotta kick my body before it kicks me! :D WOO!

I'm going over to my dad's side of the family tomorrow most likely for the SUPERBOWL! I'm not super into watching football but it'll be fun! My coworkers and I placed money on some squares and placed bets. I'm not sure how it works exactly but I hope I win! Haha. I'm also looking forward to seeing my family! My dad's side hasn't seen me in a few months since I left for school in the Fall. Hope they notice the difference! WOO. I'm done with being the butt of fat jokes!

Workout today: Got in 30 minutes of C25k and 30 minutes of strength training.

Food intake is good! Still haven't decided what to eat for dinner. What do YOU GUYS normally eat? I'm tired of salads. I'm tired of grilled chicken with broccoli!

OMG THANKS! I love that outfit too! The top is from BCBGMAXAZRIA. I'm not a big fan of Abercrombie and Fitch but I got the shorts there a few months ago. It's been so cold so I've only worn them a few times and now they're starting to get too loose. I'm happy that I'm getting smaller but I'm sad that I invested in shorts that don't fit anymore.

Are you guys planning on donating your clothes? Or what do most people do with it?? My mom said that my more expensive clothes, she wouldn't mind paying to get it altered and taken in. However, I know you can only do so much and sometimes it's more economical to just get something new.

Hey you,

I am going to start the C25k programme this week too, sounds achievable and I would absolutely love to run 30min without stopping again.

Hey well done on your weight loss so far, you are doing fantastic!
 
olux-if you have PCOS it does make loosing weigh harder I know some friends with it. Regulating your hormones can really help. I dont believe steroids is a first shot thing and it is NOT a long term solution since it shuts down your adrenal gland. I am well versed in a number of things medically if you have questions.

long story short on the steroids I had a severe reaction for an unknown reason to my allergy shots that I always get because I am allergic to literally everything they can test for I got massive hives swollen arms rash traveled to my hands and neck it was horrid and no amount antihistamines worked so now I have to do the steroids fun fun fun. I have had to be on them for up to 4-5 months before due to some other lung disease issues i have and that is why I say they are not long term solution at all, they are horrible things but great when you really need them!

on to the exciting part WOWSA there is a big difference! Your so lucky to be maintaing those curves as an asian woman my best girlfriend would kill for a few. I love the shorts outfit and your face has REALLY nice definition now with your cheekbones.

Yeah I’m so glad if they can finally diagnose me. I’m not so worried about PCOS making it hard for me to lose weight because I’m determined enough to push through the slump. The only thing is because of PCOS, I have slightly high testosterone level. I’m not trying to look like my dad, THANKS. I can’t wait for medicine to balance out my hormone levels! HALLELUJAH!

And thanks so much for the compliment! Everyone has always told me I don’t have the “typical” Asian figure. No matter how much weight I lose, I will never be as skinny as the rest of my Asian family. Haha. My family used to joke that I was fed elephant milk as a child. (Again with being the butt of fat jokes!)

Alta – Thank you, thank you, thank you, for always being so encouraging! I can’t wait for all of us to get down to our goal weight and be hot, skinny, bitches! I know if we just keep up with all this hard work, it’ll only be a few short months until we’ll be AMAZINGLY HOT and doing body shots off of each other. Well, you can do water shots. ;)

Ednita – Haha yeah, I feel like all I eat is lettuce. Lettuce, lettuce, lettuce. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner! BAHH! AND YEAH THAT AVATAR IS SO HOT. Her butt curves at the perfect spot. My butt – not so much. Haha. I’m going to worry about this weight loss thing first and then work on problem spots after. One thing at a time! Multi-tasking has never been my strong point. :D

Brandy – Thanks hun! It feels great to fit into my clothes without fat coming out of corners. :smilielol5:
 
I have such a good feeling about 2009! It's been great so far! I just have to keep up with my exercising and school work and I'll be GOOD. Maybe I'll even find a hot boyfriend this year. YEAHHH! I'm optimistic that life will be great!

I admit that I have a big shopping problem - I will spend money like nothing. A few months ago, after class, I'd go shopping with my sorority sisters. If we weren't out shopping, I'd be at Nordstrom's website buying stuff online. It was so bad. One of the great things about my weight loss is that it haven't really shopped the last 2 months. I don't go out to eat either so I've managed to save almost $900.00 these past two months! I'm so excited because all of that money is going towards my 2 credit cards. I'm transferring the money over as soon as I finish this! It'll be a relief to finally pay off the cards. My parents are paying the difference for me so I won't have to carry a balance anymore. After this, I'm NOT using my cards unless I'm buying gas. NO MORE SHOPPING UNTIL IM SKINNY! Anyone else spends way more than they can afford to? But anyway, I'm super excited. :D

Happy SUPERBOWL EVERYONE! :party:
 
Olux-my friends niece is also vietnamese and overweight and they can be so blundt with her that I find it cruel I hope your family is not the same way or that you are able to understand it better than I did. I think curves are AWESOME and I know most my asian friends would kill for them!

as far as the spending money goes we used to last year was monumental for us we went to see Dave Ramsey at a live event and read the book the total money makeover it is eye opening life changing experience I would sooo recommend the book, especially before you get out fo college and can make mistakes bigger than you are now.

take care teamie!
 
hey there, was just adding in my info for today and scrolling around a bit, I see you are at 8.4lb loss BEFORE this weeks weigh in...you go girl. We are close on that too, I just logged in at 8.5 total but am truly hoping for another 1/2 tomorrow.

keep up the good work, I agree I have been lurking on team 1 as we are so quiet, I am a talker!!!
 
Hey!!

Hey!!

Just read your diary!
Keep up the good work! You're doing an AMAZING job!!! :)
I'll keep myself updated now.
 
Hey
I just had time to read your thread..Do you realive you have dropped like 12lbs since late Dec? That is fantastic focus. Whatever your doing is working. I bet people are starting to notice. I am 6'1" myself so it takes like 25 loss for people to notice but the good side to that is I can hide 10 lbs real easy...But not anymore...I am on the train to skinny land...You with me?
 
Lux, you look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!:grouphug: You must be just that much mor emotivated now huh? It's great seeing the cnahges isn't it? Yeah it is!!

You're ever on sometime when I'm on, I've got a cruel fat joke story to tell you... yeah I've been the butt of a few myself. I hate 'em too. nope, no more for me, thanks!
 
I do not have a shopping problem, actually... I have the opposite problem as you. I WILL NOT buy myself ANYTHING. Especially clothes. I am set on waiting until I lose enough weight that I have no other options but to buy clothes that fit. I have a TON of clothes, but its because everyone buys them for me because they know I will not spend the money on myself to buy what clothes I need. I have pants right now that range from size 18 to 12. So I am set for a little bit. (Did I mention I never throw anything away either?? lol)
 
I had a pretty good day! I was in class pretty much all day so I had to bring some food in my bag. Even though days like today make me really worn out, it's nice because I don't have easy access to a plethora of food. I ended up just eating oatmeal, tangerines, a grapefruit, and an egg. I'm pretty sure I would have eaten a lot more if I was chilling at my house. For dinner, I had BROWN RICE with Tilapia! (SP?) I haven't eaten white rice in so long that this brown rice tastes pretty amazing!

I HAVE THE BEST STORY FOR YOU GUYS. I'm not upset - I'm just very astonished and taken back by this situation. So another guy I was seeing a few months back turned out to be a total DOUCHEEEE. This seems to be a reoccurring theme in my life. I've noticed. Anyway, he talks to me yesterday and asked me how the gym was going. When I told him that it was going well and I've managed to lose weight and keep it up. He says "OH nice. Must be nice to break 200." UHH... AWKWARD SILENCE. MUST BE NICE TO BREAK 200?! FIRST OF ALL, what kind of gentleman blatantly states a girls' weight? and SECOND of all, if you're going to be rude and guess the girl's weight, can you at least UNDER GAUGE? IDIOT! Way to over guess my weight! I totally just said, "UM. Where'd you get that number?" I was just taken back by the fact that a guy could ever say that to a girl! R-U-D-E. KAY, THANKS! OH PS, I was never 200 pounds. Ever. ANDDDDD your dick is small.

I tried doing the C25K again today but my feet gave out halfway through. I need to take everyone's advice and get some better shoes. Need to get on that!

PPS I'm sorry if you guys think I over share sometimes. HAha. I just hope giving you a guys a glimpse into my real, personal life entertains you! :)
