It´s not like I am an emotional eater or I have too many snacks or the things that usually makes you fat. I have a condition that won´t allow me to lose weight. My doctor told me I´m a lost cause, but I´m gonna prove him wrong. I start at 227 lbs with 5ft 9in. My target is 165 lbs, so technically, I want to lose around 60 pounds. I want to achieve this in one year. I wanna do it the ¨slow but sure¨ way. I decided I am going to weight myself once a month.

Every single person I found here is truly an inspiration, and maybe I´ll become one for other people.

Xoxo
 
Hey were even the exact same height!!!!

We can do it!

My doctors didnt understand why i couldnt loose weight either, but i have lost weight before and i can do it again.

My problem is i enjoy eating later in the evening, (i enjoy exercise at this time too but cant incase i wake everyone) so im trying to minimise the amount i eat during the day (which is easy for me for some reason) and eat my main meal at night!

Good luck x

It´s a thyroid condition, it´s kinda hard to explain in english (its not my native). Anyway, I decided not to talk about it anymore. If everybody has given up on me .. well, I wont ! I am a normal person and I will be thinner by the end of the year.

Good luck to you too ! :)

It´s really nice to know you have somebody to get this battle started :hurray: . All of my friends are thin and are like ^uhh lets go shopping, let´s have something to eat, let´s have pizza in the middle of the night^ and I´m thinking: I can´t go to the mall because nothing fits me, I can´t eat because as I am is big enough. I guess when you don´t have a weight problem, you don´t realise this kind of things and it´s all very easy and funny. Anyway, enough with the sad stuff.
We are gonna do it because we are fabulous and there´s nothing to stop us ! Am I right ?

Ohh and btw .. how old are you ? I just turned 21 :)
 
Hello!


I think it's great that you don't let what the DR says get in your way! The are only humans they too can be wrong! My Grand Father was told by many DR he wouldm't walk again after a spinal injury .........He proved them all wronf and he was in his 50's or close too...... Don't let any one stop you!
Loving your positive attitude!

HIIT is my favorite way to workout. In fact, I'm about to workout in a few minutes! lol
I love short and intense cardio and my husband loves longer with intense cardio (P90X/Insanity style). So just like he joins me some time during the week doing what I like, I join him about once a week doing P90X. I enjoy Belly dancing and EA Sports Active on the Wii especially the boxing. But I only do those occasionally. That's really all I do "cardio" wise. I strength during HIIT, at the gym or train my abs and thighs sometimes even when I'm bored or can't sleep.

Thanks for the info. I currently do callanetics and bike (outside) and I am really trying to start running-jogging (I can only do it for like 10 minutes but with exercise I know I can do it better). I am also looking forward to a gym membership but all the gyms are like crazy far from me so that´s kinda hard ...

I just can't get myself to go to a public gym. I'm way too shy :blush5:. We have an extremely nice gym in our apartment complex. It's super spacious and super up to date. If people come in, I usually recognize them so it isn't that uncomfortable for me. But I mostly workout at home anyway.
You can "only" do 10 minutes of running/jogging? When I first started, I could only do 10 seconds! lol

I was like that regarding gyms also like 2 years ago and then one day I thought to myself: I come here for myself, because I care about me . Maybe everyone there thinks the same, maybe not. I stopped thinking about anything than me when I walked into the gym and you know what? Before that I was like: oh my god, everybodys looking at me, everybody s laughing at me, but now ít´s like nobody even notices me around. Too bad that I moved when I started this way of thinking, now is going to waste ... or I´ll share it with others.
 
First Week !

I knew from the very beginning that I couldn´t update this diary daily. It´s insane! So .. I thought I would do it once a week, on Monday. It´s a great way for me to keep track of what I do.
Well .. I was very ¨nice¨this week. I ate nothing I wasn´t allowed to, I had 3 sessions of Callanetics (15 minutes each), I went for a run with my bike and I spent some time on my neighbours elliptical bike. I had a cold so it was hard to do more exercise, but I am planning on doing more as soon as I get better.
I´m curious how the next post will look like. :willy_nilly:
 
Second Week !

Today is January 24th, marking the start of my third week on a diet.
The second week was kinda rough, can´t tell why. I was very light headed, but I am aware that this isn´t because of my diet, but because of my other medical condition.
I was not ¨naughty¨ at all, except for today, I ate a cookie, my mother made me haha, but it won´t happen again soon. I did Callanetics everyday and I got to ride my bike outside for 30 minutes today, cuz it wasn´t as cold as the other days.
Hope everything I do will get me some results.
 
Third Week !

Today begins my fourth week since I "started living". It´s still really cold outside. I wanted to start jogging yesterday, but after 3 minutes I thought the wind was gonna blow me away. I was afraid of pneumonia so I got back in. Since the winter is not planning to go so soon all is left for me is to exercise at home. I do my Callanetics everyday and I really try to do of every action a work out. Also I ate another cookie. I now I said last week that I wasn´t gonna do that for a long time, but my mother is very hard to refuse. That was my only "mistake" this week and if I continue like this I think pretty big things are gonna show.

God, this diary is really helping. I only do it once a week but is really helpful. I also keep a daily diary, but I write down on a notebook, cuz I don´t always have the time to log on and be like : "I did that and that and that" every hour.

:seeya::willy_nilly:
 
I can't not weigh myself, i get officially weighed each week at class but i always weigh myself before i go which im going to stop, i thought i had a bit more than i did off this week (1lb) and i was disapointed.

Hope youre doing ok rul!
