I open an other thread, I really hope it is ok!
I have been writing a diary here a while ago, but then I abandoned it (and also my diet). Now I try to start again. Yeah, before Christmas, how smart :p

Luckly I didn't get any extra weight... I just am more or less where I left. The scale this morning didn't give me any bad news after all. :)
Hope you wanna support me as always! :)

64.5

ARGHHHHHHHH! My boyfriend just called me. Tonight we have a party with some of his friends, which to me means JUNK FOOD. And this is happening just the second day of my diet! ARGHHHHHHH! Maybe I should not complain since I started my diet the week before Christmas... :'(
Anyway, here I seriously need a plan B!
Since I cannot skip the event and cannot workout more if I eat more (it really didn't make any sense joining the gym now, I will do it first thing in January... and it's not really fun jogging when out in around -20°C) I will simply eat less now. I already had some tea with milk for breakfast, and for lunch I planned to have spinach soup (it is only 100kcal) with salad and an apple maybe.
Mainly for tonight I am worried about is the pizza and the chips. I can say no to EVERYTHING but chips. I'm serious, sadly! If I have home some chips, there is no way they would see the next day :p
Ahhhh. Well, I'll try to control myself! :)

Plus, I really need a plan for my diet. I though not to eat more than 1200Kcal per day. I am not sure how many I was eating before, but it's already a good thing I start to check the calories. :D
For now I moved my goal from 50 to 55 Kgr. I have noticed that starting with a too ambitious goal demotivates me, I feel I will never reach it. So I start with loosing 9 Kg and when I will get there (because I will this time) I will see if I want to continue and lose an other 5 or not. It doesn't matter how much it reads on the scale as far as I am happy with myself and my body :)

Not bad, not bad.
I had my spinac soup yesterday with salad, and in the afternoon few carrots. At the party anyway I don't think I ate too much, few mini tacos (they were the side of big chips), I think like 3 candies and... chips! I did the worse mistake ever, to sit just next to them for quite a long time, but then I went away. :p
Also I had some drinks, but I am happy the scale wasn't evil this morning.
Anyway my tummy is a bit a mess today. It hurts quite much :( Poor it! Maybe it's a bit of hangover or yesterday I catch some could. Now I just need my bed and a nice book.

Ok, I think the chips of saturday had some effect now. :p Bad bad.
Well, it's just +0.300 gr so I don't worry too much. Little changes in the weight are normal, expecially if you weight yourself everyday :)
Today we already had lunch, I had macaroni with bacon and meat for a total of 700 kcal. No idea what we will eat tonight, but I would say some salad and fish. My boyfriend eats meat every single day and this make me wish for fish and vegetables more and more. Which is definitely good. Plus when we are in town he always wants to visit fast food and eat hamburger and french fries. I wonder how he is so damn skinny :p I hate him, he eats like 3 times more than me me, often junk food but is so damn skinny. Well, some people are just like that, lucky them. Yesterday we went to watch Avatar and before that he wanted to visit Hesburger (jst as McDonald in Finland), but I had a salad. I am pretty much proud of myself, I never had a salad in a fast food before, even if I was on a diet I always though "oh come on, it's just an hamburger, nothing that bad", when actually is the worse thing ever. :) But I have to say the tunasalad was definitely a better idea. Next time wanna try the fetacheese salad.
Uhm, I think it's pretty much for today.
:party:
 
You are definitely doing great, I can see it from the pics Continue like that!

thanks lilstar <3 i appreciate the kind words. i am very self concious about my body/weight and i think the only reason i can post those is because you can't see my face. GAWD. anyway.. i was looking at your old diary doesn't seem like you have much to lose! how has your progress been since then?

Thanks. :)
Maybe you are right, in term of Kilos maybe I don't have to lose too much weight, but I have always felt uncomfortable since all the extra kilos I have are located around the belly, which is just ugly :p
For that the only solution will be the gym or some sport, I am starting in January, as soon as I come back from Christmas holiday. At the moment I just try to eat healthy. About two years ago I had fit boxing classes (I am not sure if this sport has the same name in English. Basically is the same kick boxing, but you don't hit or fight with anyone, your only enemy is the sand bag -and your extra-kilos :p-). I remember in less than 3 months my body shape just changed so much and I was really starting to look as I wanted. But then the lack of time, university and a boyfriend far away forced me to abandon the gym.
But now I am seriously determined to get in track and get my body exactly how I want. ;)

Ok, update from yesterday/today.

21.12.2009 Mon
64.6

Not that bad. I was thinking worse, since at the end yesterday I had, in stead of fish and vegetables, two karjalanpiirakka (a Finnish "bread" made with rise). I think it's not the best thing to eat when you are in diet, but since I had only that for dinner, it's ok.

Also, my sister has told me about the Atkins diet. Has anyone of you tried it?! My sister is totally happy with it, she has tried it for the past 2 months and she says it works. She was always stressed with previous diets, but now she is absolutely happy because she eats when what and how much she wants, she just needs to avoid some kind of food.
Uhm, I don't think this would really work for me. (For me works only the gym and much sweating XD). I mean, I like vegetables and eating healthy, I am not a great fun of meat (which she is eating a lot at the moment) so... basically the only think I could enjoy would be the cheese, which in Finland is not even that good for me... so :p
Anyway, about the Atkins diet I like only the idea of not eating carbohydrates. Since she told me about that I started to watch how much bread and pasta I eat and started to slowly quit them. I feel better, but I still would wanna eat even less, because I really feel different if I don't have pasta or bread for few days, I feel lighter and maybe it sounds stupid, but also my brain seems to "work" better... less tired after the meals.
So, this is an other thing to keep in mind. Eat as less carbohydrates as you can. :)
Now it's tea time! :piggy:
 
Oh, by the way, here is my plan:

-7 kg by April 1rst. (57 Kg)
-7 Kg by July 1rst. (50 kg).

Losing 2 Kg and something per month doesn't sound so bad or impossible at all. I really feel I can make this. Also because, as I said... it could be I am happy with the result even before reaching the 50 kgs. With the gym my body will change its shape totally and since I am not really looking to be a really specific weight, but only to look good and eat healthier it could be that I will stop at 55. We will see :)
Anyway, already touching the 50s would be a great result for me. Last I have weighted 5something was like... YEARS ago.
But let's not look too far away, let's proceed in little steps.
1. By the end of Jan my goal is 61 or 62.
I'm excited. I really can make it this time. I know it! muahaha.
 
Hello! I responded to your post in my journal if you want to check it out :) Anyways, nice job on the loss so far! However, I am sad to say that I do not understand weight in terms of Kg so I'm not exactly sure where you're at right now!

I also wanted to say that the Atkins diet isn't all it's cracked up to be. Cutting out carbs was probably the worst thing I ever did for myself. Yes, I lost 10 pounds in less than 2 weeks... but as soon as I went back to carbs and eating "normal" food that I usually ate, I gained it all right back. There is no way I would even try going back on that diet... I felt so deprived of everything I was eating! No sugar either... I don't think I could live without carbs and sugar lol :) The BEST diet is really just watching what you eat and eating the right portions :) BUT everyone has their own opinions and knows what works for them.. so if you decide to try it out, go for it!

I bet you're excited to get to the gym! :D It's always a nice little getaway!

TTYL,

I converted it with a program on the internet.
At the moment I am 141 lbs, and my final goal would be 110, but could be that I will be happy with my body even before I reach it. Mainly to me doesn't matter what the scale says, it matters that I feel good and happy with myself. At the moment I am not happy with the shape of my body, so with the gym and diet I will try to improve it :D

Actually I am really suspicious about the Atkins diet for few reasons... I have read something on the net and there it reads basically what you also say (that once you start again eating carbs you will get all the weight you lost if not even more) and that it could cause some diseases. No, thanks! :p
I just though that reducing carbs a bit would be a good thing. I am Italian and used to eat pasta everyday, now (that I am even living abroad) I am trying to avoid it, and also the bread. It doesn't mean I quit them, just eat less.


Today has been a full day. I am so tired.
The scale this morning said 64.1 :D yeahh.
Today I eat one hamburger (arghh, I know...), a coffee (here I was good... to compensate the hamburger I had it black and with no pastry of course. -This was REALLY hard since we went to a super cute and cozy place in town and EVERYONE took some cake or pastries-). For dinner I had an apple and 5 fish fingers.
We are now at my in-laws and I haven't seen yet a scale anywhere, so I think the next 5 days I cannot check my weight... well. I will keep in track anyway. NIGHT!

63.something
Here we don't have a digital scale, so I don't know exactly how much I dropped. Anyway, it's good anyway to see 63 :D
 
I definitely can feel all the Christmas celebration now... I have got 1 full Kilo back in 3 or 4 days. Great! XD
Well, I don't give up... it's just a kilo after all, as I got it I will lose it again.

Today basically I feel very broken. The day before yesterday we went skiing and drinking and all yesterday all my muscles were in pain, I really felt a zombie. Today also, plus I have some soar throat. I am boiling now some water so I can have some tea.
The bad thing now is that we have so MUCH chocolate... :( I couldn't resist and had a piece this morning, but I guess it can go as breakfast since I don't eat anything else (except for the tea, which I drink without sugar and today without milk).
And again, today no potatos and milk, just some salad and fish. Also no bread.
Little star is back in track :D

29.12.2009
65.0 :(

I really feel bad at the moment, I have soar throat and feel freezing, I think I am ill. Oh, great!
Anyway, today I ate salmon with salad and some caesar saladdressing(?) for a total of 400 Kcal. Tonight I am going to eat some more fish and maybe a tomato. Oh, in the morning I had tea with milk, as always.
 
Today I had in total about 1200 Kcal and no exercise since I feel like crap (can I write crap in here?). I don't really know what to do... I feel I'm getting flu and it's not good!
 
This morning I was 64.1.
How can it be possible to drop one kilo so fast?!
Anyway, good for me! :D
Today I ate salmon, an omellette, bread an ham for about a total of 1000 kcal.

I have to keep in mind that I wanna loose 3 Kg for the end of January, I can totally do it!!

First goal:
-61 by February 1rst.
 
31.12.2009
63.8

Brilliant!!!! Also my healt feelt a bit better, I have less soar throat and for tonight we also have a plan.
We will go to eat out, see the fireworks (this year they are going to be incredibly early for some reason) -or viceversa- and club club club. All my friends left town for the holidays, so it will be just me and my boyfriend, but I'm sure it will be superfun.
I don't want to get drunk, I just want a couple of drinks to celebrate the NEW YEAR! :D
And by the way, since we are going out tonight to eat, I will have only salmon and salad for lunch and cereals now. So i will compensate che calories for today!
It's only 2 kilos to go and I have reached my first goal, yeahhhhh!

64.8

It's all the alcohol and food I ate the last day of the year. Ohh, from today no more excuses :) I am officially in a strict diet. Today I had 2 little tomatoes, cucumber, chicken and some potatoes cooked in the oven, for a total of about 1000 Kcal. Not bad I think :)
On monday I am also going to start the gym and on the 12th I should start a course of Fix Boxing. Cannot wait! :)
 
05.01.10
64.3

Today I am going to start my fit boxing classes. I am excited!!! :D

[~edit~]
I am just back. It was brilliant, I already love the class. We are a very big group but I really enjoyed all the exercises we did :)
I am so excited I would wanna have it more than twice a week, but this is not possible... well, on the other hand my boyfriend is also thinking of joying the gym, if he does, I will join too for other 2 days a week. Which will make me active 4 days a week... doesn+t sound bad at all. :D
Oh, by the way, today I had potatoes with fish fingers, 1 small tomato and cucumber, plus 1 pancake (no sugar in it at all). For about 1000 kcal.
