I have spent the last week and a half getting ready for this journey and as my week comes to a close i look ahead at my future and i cant wait,I have tried so many diets but the one that seems to work for me is weight watchers and working out along with a very very fast metabolism. i have what seems a very good weight loss plan set up that involves weighing myself everyday and setting very small goals for myself every week. i have noticed when i look down this path of weight loss and the thought of having to lose over 80 pounds seems almost impossible but losing 3 pounds does not, and although many people do not think of weighing yourself everyday is a good thing i do, i do not disappoint easily and i also understand that our body holds water so to gain a pound or two in one day is absolutely normal.

My current weight as of right now is 225.0 even and i am writing this on Sunday august 12th. i have set Four goals for this week and they are as follows
1.)Stick too it no matter how rough....Sometimes i have to debate with myself over if i really want something or not and i cannot do that anymore, what i will accomplish in the months/years to follow will be far greater than that 10 minutes of taste.
2.)Drink 8 glasses of water a day-I Have a very bad habit of not drinking water and drinking too much pop
3.)Reach a goal weight of 223.0 on Monday August 20th
4.)Learn to love the body that i am in-i may have cellulite, i may be overweight and my clothes might be a tad to tight but i have had the right and the privilege to eat,drink and celebrate-i come from a huge family who likes to get together and eat/party and for that i am thankful for and although i do not like my body i have been privileged to gain it but now i must treat my body like it was intended to be treated-as a temple

I hope to write here at least once a day about my weight loss journey and i hope this diary keeps me on track. I would like to finish this with a quote that may help and motivate some people

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible. -

Welcome to WLF!

I love the title of your journal.

It looks like you have a very good plan to set out on your journey. I also have my overall goal and then mini-goals. Mini-goals certainly make it seem like much less of a chore to get to my overall goals:)

Do you have a nutritional plan set up already?

Good Luck on your journey

Hello Everyone im ready to head off to the gym , although i go a few times a month its not for working out its to swim for leisure so time to start using that very expensive membership :cool:

cinderelly-Yes i Have 5 tattoos as listed
1.)Sanskrit on my left forearm which stands for God
2.)An Art Piece on my back called Flowers in the Attic which is of a girl (wow this is going to sound really morbid but i assure you its not)Of a Girl Committing Suicide but the blood turns to butterflies and the butterflies transform into really big ones on my back once again i assure you its not as morbid as it sounds lol
3.)Two stars on my collarbone just outlined stars
4.)a Nautical star on my upper right arm with a tribal design the star is pretty blue and black shades
5.) Music Notes on my right Wrist

There very addicting but all mean something too me in some way, Thank you and Gl to you Also


Boam46- Thank you and my Nutritional plan isint very binding as i have done weight watchers before and thats how i lost this first 18 pounds, for breakfast i usually eat some sort of fruit like Banana(1) or strawberry's(1) and maybe a bowl of trix cereal with 2% milk(5)-you could cut that number too (3) if i used skim....Lunch i like lean cuisines(5) and smart ones(5-6),sometimes ill just have a sandwich with ham or turkey a slice of cheddar cheese with mustard(7) and a bag of Cheeto's(3) they are my downfall,i like soup so sometimes ill have a bowl of cheddar broccoli soup(2) or chicken noodle (1)and dinner we have all sorts of things but we mainly like grilled boneless/skinless chicken breasts(3) with a side of rice(5) or chicken noodles(4) and a serving of veggies(1), i also have a few snacks throughout the day which include granola bars/fruit snacks and rice crispie treats( all 2) because there sooo good lol but mind you there are sooo many different combinations i have but most of the time im not picky and that seems to be my daily meals
so as you can see i really eat what i what but im on weight watchers which allows me 26 points a day and i put the points in parenthesis's above so you can see i really don't get hungry much and for me i drop about 4-5 pounds a week along with drinking my 64 ounces of water a day and working out about 3-4 times a week.

Hope everyone has a great day and Gl but no im off to burn this Burger King off i ate last Week:)
 
Depressed

so i started my diet on august13th and i had some issues with my DSl so i havent been on in about a week and a half and i have demolished my diet..i did really well the first week losing about 4 pounds but this week i just let it go..im trying so hard and i want this so badly..i need some encouragment..somtimes it seems like i have so far to go:confused:
 
I like the name of your diary too, it reminds me of The Secret, which I watched today. Sanskrit is cool.

Anyway, just take it one pound at a time. We all do it that way.

Welcome to your diary. Keep posting. You sound like you have joy in your life. Stay connected to that.
 
keep at it hun :)

Were very close weight wise, and i know it seems hard and long and almost a dream away. But we'll get there. I had a rough day yesterday, went to a party. I allowed myself one lite beer, and one slice of pizza. Then munched on carrots and drank water :) Then this morning i had bacon, eggs and a biscuit. Not very good, but when i got home i dragged the boyfriend hiking :)

Im learning EVERYONE has bad days and days where they let themselves go a little, but as long as u get right back on track it wont affects your weeks weight loss :)

How much are you aiming to lose a week? I was thinking 4lbs for me, but ill prob aim for 3... seems more reachable :)

Keep at it girl !
