I am a little down because I weighed this morning and it looks like I did a lot of damage eating so bad last week. I am back at my start weight..220lbs.

For some reason I still feel thinner than when I started? I took some pics today to motivate myself to start again! Here goes some body pics!!




Feels like my stomach is a bit smaller than when I started a few weeks ago, weird my weight is back though..




This is the outfit I wear all the time because i'm scared to try to buy jeans this big.... Ughh I don't ever want to wear it again.

Thanks, I think for the weight I am, I carry it pretty well. Although I hate my arms which are not in the pics lol.

Anyways, I had a pretty good day so far. My day is only half over though! Looks like Ireland time is about 7 hours later than here. I am so happy to have joined the christmas challenge, it has definitely helped with my motivation.
 
Today's Diary. 10/12/11


I have been diagnosed with PCOS. (polycystic ovary syndrome) I feel like this explains EVERYTHING. I learned that I have insulin resistance and that my body can't process sugar normally. Instead of filtering it, it automatically stores it as fat which is why I gain weight so easily. I was never sure why I was overweight, I don't eat extremely bad and I certainly never have eaten over 2000 calories everyday on a normal basis. I have had irregular periods my whole life but never thought anything of it. That is, until I realized yesterday that I hadn't had a period in over 4 months! I guess what it means is that I am very prone to weight gain, acne, and face/body hair. ugh isn't that just wonderful? The good news is there is a pill that can help called metformin (the same pill that diabetics take). Insulin resistance in PCOS is somewhat like diabetes but not exactly. It does however lead to diabetes if it's not controlled. All I know is that I need to control my sugar consumption and take this medication and my weight should dramatically improve. Hoping to pick some up this week and will let everyone know how it goes! I am very excited about this.

Sorry about the PCOS :(. And you look great in those photos! I can totally imagine you being a model for a clothing company.
 
It's ok! I'm glad I found out what the problem was because now I can take something for it and hopefully lose this weight. LOL a model for a clothing company?! I wish! You gonna get me the job?


:biggrin:
 
I NEED to get into some kind of routine. The fact that I have no eating/workout routine is killing me. I end up eating out on the weekends and I'm not losing weight. My plan this week is to settle into a routine that fits my lifestyle. We'll be going grocery shopping this week and buying healthy dinner's I can cook, and I would like to start eating chicken or fish with every meal, and eggs,yogurt, or smoothies for breakfast. My main goal is to eat small healthy meals a lot during the day and incorporate a lot of protein.

I will most likely be cooking fish/chicken for lunch every day with green veggies as this kind of lunch keeps me very full for a long period of time and is very low in calories.

Now that I have come up with a eating plan, I need to figure out a workout plan! (I'll figure this out during the day and come back to post, I need to figure out what time is best for my schedule)


Jay has an amazing format to put his goals/daily journal together and said I could use it so this is it!! I know we technically started last week but I didn't eat very well over the weekend and i'd like to use this chart every day so I am starting it as Day 1.

I am definitely starting to realize that you can ONLY depend on yourself. I need to start treating myself better! Afterall, how can anyone love you if you don't love yourself? I need to stop telling myself i'm gross and tell myself i'm worth it! I am worth losing the weight, and worth all the effort it's going to take! I have to give something to MYSELF. I have always been the one to put everyone else's needs before my own, and obviously in the midst of all of that, I have let myself go. Of course, my daughter will always come first, but I always take it to the extreme. I never buy myself new things, never treat myself, because I never feel i deserve it. I decided today, I AM WORTH IT!!! Eventhough I am not happy with my weight or the size I am, I went out and bought myself some new clothes. I kept telling myself I wasn't ALLOWED to have new clothes until i lost weight, but really I should have bought clothes that fit me at this size and motivated myself to be able to buy more when I do lose the weight. I was so scared that buying a pair of size 14 jeans would mean I was ALLOWING myself to stay this size forever. I also realized I AM NOT DEFINED BY MY SIZE!!!!! I am always scared of meeting new people in fear they will judge me on my weight, but this is such an irrational thought! The weight I am CERTAINLY does not define the person I am, and if someone does judge me, so be it. They weren't the right person to have in my life. I have been completely limiting myself from meeting potentially good people/friends! I am coming into light on all of this because I have realized that I have been letting old friends/family treat me like shit lately and never expressing my feelings because they were the only people I had. Well I promise myself to never hold in my feelings just to keep people around. If i am not being treated right, it will definitely be known.
 
You are defintly worth it hun!:):) you are jusr going to have to be that much strict on yourself and not go for the take away when your hungry.


Amanda you can totally do this, and like you said you just need to find a routine that works for you:)

Thanks girl. It was kind of an epiphany yesterday when I wrote that. I have been so down on myself when I should have just used that as motivation. I am going to try so hard! Eventhough it gets really tempting!! I want to show MYSELF I can do this!!! WE HAVE TO ROCK THIS CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE! Each week the numbers could change, or if we don't kick it into gear they could stay the same... Our choice!!


xoxoxoxo
 
Haven't been on here much, and I have been eating poorly...We have so much candy in this house it's overwhelming! It's so hard to do good when there is temptation all around! I haven't worked out in forever and I am losing motivation. I really need to pick myself up but it feels impossible. =( I know that I NEED to just get in 1 workout and i'll feel so much better but the hard part is getting off my ass to do it!! Ohh god, please give me the strength to get my fat ass up and change my life. Lol. Let's hope this week is a better one, there's no day like today to change!



Today's goals- DON'T EAT ANY CANDY! fight the temptation for chocolate, despite the fact it's THAT time of the month..

- EAT 1300 calories

- DRINK 8 glasses water

-GET IN SOME KIND OF WORK OUT!


Let's see if I can get these goals accomplished...

Hope everyone is doing well.
 
Stay away from the food girl, i know how hard it is but you have to resist. I KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS AMANDA.


REMEMBER THE CRUISE!! THAT SHOULD BE YOUR MOTIVATION


lots of hugs xxx
 
I'm baaacckkk! I haven't talked to you or anyone on here in a while, seems as though everyone has tons of people to talk to! I don't know anyone on here really. I have printed out a ton of templates for goals and put them on my fridge and I found a girl that wants to workout every day with me, i'm meeting her tonight at the gym! Lets hope it goes well!! I have also started eating a Low GI diet because of my PCOS and hope to see weight loss from that as well! How are you?? What's new? I miss talking to you. :cry:
 
Welcome back Amanda, loving the motivation!!


Sorry to hear about the PCOS, I know that can make things a bit more difficult. It does give you another reason to watch what you eat though, so hopefully when you have no motivation left that can still spur you on.


Have fun at the gym!
 
Thanks Luz !! =) I really need to keep the motivation going, it feels like some days it's sooo high, and other's are the complete opposite! I have to just keep in my head that it IS possible to lose the weight, because some days I feel like i'll be this way forever.

I saw your pics from your vaca, you look amazing! I don't see that you have any weight to lose??? You are such a cute girl by the way!

Today's Diary

11/15



I started insanity (dvd) program today, and it was the most intense workout i have ever had! Not for the weak that's for sure! I am going to be doing it for the whole 60 days, and will be finished right before the cruise at the end of January. I am hoping with it I can lose 25-30 lbs so that I can be under 200, and leave it in the dust by 10 lbs! I want to weigh 185- 190 by the end of the workouts, and then do another round after the cruise for more loss. I am really excited about it and loved the workout today despite almost throwing up from the intensity! I realized again today how depressed I have been and really need to pull myself out of this slump.


I'm going to start weighing in every monday on here, and on the christmas weight loss challenge!


Today my weight is 215lbs








Workout- DAY 1 : 30 mins of the 45 min video VERY INTENSE workout.

Plyometric cardio.


Hoping to do a whole one tomorrow!!!
 
Hey Amanda!!


Consistency is really important... you really need to tell yourself that you can do this, and every day you need to do the best you can. Sure you'll have bad days but you need to just keep going! You just need to start... and keep going. You can do this!!


Hehe thanks for the photo comments, I put up some new pics a couple of days ago as well. I don't have much to lose, but I have a goal I'm determined to get to! It's still well within my healthy weight range... plus I have a pretty small frame so should be a little on the lower side anyway. Arhg I'm so frustrated I still can't exercise at the moment... Glad you found something challenging to do!! Don't forget to have a few rest days in there so your body can recover. Good luck on getting to your goal for your cruise!!!
