Put that down, fatty!

I've known a few people to lose a great amount of weight through just swimming (some weren't even dieting)

However I tried it myself and whilst I did see an increase in losing weight it did make me feel very hungry afterwards which is bizarre..I did read up about this a long time ago and apparently it's normal...

If you got enough willpower to eat sensible after swimming then I would definately recommend it, I have seen so many solid results come from it.
 
Hmmm, thanks for that Dowie. I'll keep the hunger thing in mind! Little worried I'll come home and binge but I'll have dinner ready for when I get home so I can eat straight away and not pick!

Finally have courage to wear a bathing suit (with shorts ;)) so I want to give it a go!
 
Bananas are good for after swimming. I recently started swimming and I find that the slow release energy helps to keep off hunger.
 
I agree there's definitely a noticeable change! Awesome job on that :)

Re: the panini... just look at the calories for the type you're purchasing. If they are really high in cals, then only eat half and have a side salad or some veggies with it. Then you can have the good taste, but not go overboard on the cals.
 
Thanks Risty, so sweet of you! And I am never having a panini again. Nasty fatty things. I shall stick to my pitta! Much more yummy!

Today I had my last exam for this semester! AND I ACED ITTT! Well, pretty sure.

Really want to go for a long walk this afternoon but I've been having some trouble with a piercing and I stopped into a piercing shop on the way home and they said to rest so it can heal. The walking kinda..irritates it!

Far too much information and for once I'm actually a little sad I can't do much today. I'm free for a WHOLE WEEK before Uni starts again and I really wanted to work twice as hard this week whilst I have the free time. Still going for my swim tonight (I hope!) at 7pm and it's a 30 min walk away so I'll just stroll and take it easy.

Already done 30 mins of proper walking *flaps bingo wings enthusiastically* on the way home from my exam before my piercing started playing up AGAIN. Swear to god, more bloody hassle than it's worth. Going to see the piercer tomorrow to get it looked at properly and maybe changed to a new bar so I should be back to normal by tomorrow afternoon for another swim. It's only £1.50 for students to go in the evening and they are open til 10! Less people to see my body in my horrid swimming costume.

I think I'll probably just draw more attention to myself if I wear shorts/t shirt though so i'll brave it!

I HAD BREAKFAST TODAY! I never have brekkie so I was quite proud of myself.

So my today (havent had dinner/lunch yet but here's the plan!) :

Breakfast
2 wholemeal pitta with a little low fat cream cheese (250)

Lunch
mini pizza and wedges with salad: 600

Dinner
Will want something light after swimming, so I'll have WW soup with 1/2 of pasta in it (150)

So, 1000! Which is a good amount because then I've got room to snack on satsumas (nomnomnomcrack) and veggie bits :D

And my swimming will burn quite a bit (hopefully!)

Hope everyone is wonderful :willy_nilly:
 
Woahh-I ate too much.

I made too many wedges and put half back in the fridge for a snack or to go with dinner later. And then being all proud of myself for putting some back, I ate everything on my plate.

And now feel a little sicky.
I want to go for a walk *hmmph :(*
 
I think the thought you really have to take out of this is the fact you are sad you can't do that walking. That shows a huge focus of mindset towards losing the weight you want. I got that way with my weight. The idea of 'cheating' has me doing a double take. I feel bad at the idea of not doing it the healthy way.

You keep up the good work.
 
That's very true, actually. Thanks, J. I might brave it a little later. Or at least walk with some sort of purpose when I go swimming!

Just tried my costume on and I really had to laugh at myself. I look like a very pale, very worried looking, beached whale. And not the little whales either. I mean full on, who the hell freed willy, type whale.

Sexyyy.

*grins* Ah well, at least I can laugh at myself, now. Usually I'd be like omgggg I have to take it off and hide and never leave the house again. Now the desire to excerise beats the desire to hide!

Woot for me.
 
A positive mind is the strongest weapon we have in this battle. Opps there I go being combative again :p
 
SO angry. Went to get my piercing bar changed over at a shop today and they said it was wrong. Like, completely wrong. The bastard who did it had given me a surface piercing instead. So I had to have it re-done for the thrid time in as many months.

So painful.

Stupid piercer. Going to write a strongly worded letter of complaint :p

Got my weigh-in in a few hours though so fingers crossed for me!
 
:p

Never getting anything pierced again. I'm DONE!

Well, maybe something when I'm all skinny and yummy looking. But that's a while away! :p

How're you anyway? Fighting ze good fight against food still?! Hope you're doing well x
 
Doing ok..bored as hell. almost wish for another forum fact fight.

Amy wants me to get my ear pierced again but I don't think it's even in fashion anymore.
 
Yeahh, I agree, actually. I don't really like ear piercings on guys anyway. It came into fashion when I was at school a few years ago and ALL the boys got them and thought they were amazing.

I quite like eye-brow piercings though..
