Alright chapppsss,

This is my second thread on here. I did have one (I'm formally Sare502) but for some reason it's not letting me sign back on and I thought I may as well start a new diary as I had a few months of SILENCE (i.e failure!!)

Soo I'm Sarah, 22, live in the UK and started putting on weight when I was about 13/14. Then when I was 16 I lost about 2 and a half stone and at my lowest I was about 130lbs. But then I started a job in a bar/restaurant and went to Uni and things just started to go a little pear shaped (geddit?). I now I am of the volumptuous weight of 188lbs (after already losing 10lbs) and I wanted to get back to where I was! In fact I would like to be about 5lbs lighter than that.

When the end of Uni was drawing near I told myself I'd whip my butt into shape and lose the weight - 8 months on I've lost 10lbs. RAABBBBIIISSSHHHH. I have no concrete goals as such - just that I want to get down to 125lbs as soon but as healthily as I can. I'm going to Florida in 2 months and want to slim down as much as I can before I hit the beach.

Anyway, this is me over and out. When I lost those 10lbs this site was an absolute God-send and I don't know if I had done it without having it. So here's to the next 70 odd pounds! :cheers2:

P.S. I made myself one of those fabulous ticker things ... but how the bloody hell do I get it at the bottom of my posts? (About as computer literate as a frog)
 
Hi Sarah! Welcome back to the forum :hurray: well done for getting back on the bandwagon! I fully agree with you on how amazing this forum is. I've lost 15lb since starting here in January and quite honestly I wouldn't have done it without the support and encouragement from these lovely people!!

I'm not great with computers either but...... the code for my signature begins with [ url] so maybe you could copy the code which says that too for yours? :) Ohhh and if you mean how to get it on literally on the site, go to user cp and put it in edit signature!

Good luck with your weight loss journey! Heres to you getting that beach body :cheers2:
 
Wowww 15lbs that's amazing! Fingers crossed I'll be on the same track as you! Thanks for your welcome back by the way!!

Yes bring on the beach body! Are you losing weight for any reason in particular?

Ohhh how odd :s mine is under the 'edit avatar'. Maybe you need so many posts before you can have one! Get posting! :rofl:

Yeahhh really i'm just fed up of being fat. I always been chubby, but never fat. Then last year when revising for exams I was living off take aways so I didn't have to waste time cooking and the weight just piled on. Now i'm trying to get it off and get to a weight which i'll be happy at. Fingers crossed hey!
 
Good luck with your weight loss! I think you can do quite a bit with 2 months as long as you eat well and move often! Florida seems so nice! I would want to look really nice too. I feel like lots of people would walk around in bikinis lol
 
It's between avatar and email and password on mine too...
Sorry I can't be of any help!
Good luck on your weightloss journey though and welcome back :)
 
Hmmmm how strange I don't know where mine is! I just copied and pasted that list straight from my computer. Maybe it'll appear sometime soon...

Sounds like I'm exactly the same as you then Stacey - always a bit of a chubber but it wasn't soul-destroying stuff. But now it's just got to the point where it's gotta come OFF. Good luck though - seems like you're doing fantastic so it looks like you're speeding down the right road!

Thanks for the good luck wishes Tally! I know I totally picture Florida as a state full of bikini-clad, skinny girls! I won't be there in 2 months but as you say - hopefully I can at least do some serious damage! Haha.

Thanks for the luck too RedPiggy - having a look at your signature thing it looks like you've nearly hit your first mini goal!! Best of luck.

Okay so today didn't go greaaaaaaat, but considering how awful it could have been I'm not feeling too disheartened. Red Nose Day at work, so this means LOADS of sweets, LOADS of cakes, LOADS of chocolate etc etc. But I steered clear! I may have succumbed to one of my boss's home made onion bhajis (amaze!) and a couple of biscuits but I refused the other goodies... but still gave money to comic relief of course! And then I got home my parents told me they were getting takeaway and asked me if I wanted to get in on it and I refused :)
Soooo in all today I probably did hit 2000 calories to be honest but thinking of how it could have been (about 15000?!) I don't feel like I completely cocked up. And tomorrow is another day...I'm meeting my old Uni friends in London for the day and then going out clubbing in the evening ... but I am planning to drive so the nasty alcoholic calories can stay the hell away!

Anywaaay long day for me tomorrow so I'm gonna hit the sack! Night all, hope the start to everyone's weekend has been a good 'un!

Hello lovely chaps!

The weekend is already over!! Bad times. However, I have had a good one.

London yesterday was great fun, we ended up getting very lost - not only walking around but also in Harrods! We went to Hard Rock Cafe - never good when trying to lose weight, but it did mean that when we went to that fabulous sweet/bakery section of Harrods I wasn't at all tempted to get any fudge/cupcakes. It also kept me fed for the whole evening yesterday. I then went clubbing (long day much?!) and as I promised myself ... I drove. So no alcohol for me - only one diet coke and a glass of water. And lots of dancing. And swapping of high heels to pumps haha.

Today was good too, I slept until 12.30!!!!! (I want to say - I've NEVER done that before!! If I ever sleep beyond 11 (which is pretty much never) I always feel soooo grim and nasty for the rest of the day, so generally the latest I ever get up is 10. But I actually slept solid until 12.30! Mental). Then I got up, did some work, read for a bit, danced and ran crazy round my house for a bit with my mum. My brother came home too so I had a chinwag with him.

Food wise:

Cup of tea
Handful grapes
2 slices toast with peanut butter (my downfall at the mo)
A spoon of pasta with spinach/pine nuts
2 wine gums and 1 murray mint (left over from a long car journey my parents took!)
1/2 spinach and ricotta canneloni (which really wasn't very nice - too much ricotta and not enough spinach)
side salad
bowl of fruit salad
A glass and a half wine (oops ... blame my brother please)

I meant to say before (I thought I had!) I've given up chocolate for Lent (a little hypocritical as I'm not really a Christian) soo I've done about a week and a half. But I'm actually finding it fine - once Lent is over I may carry it on. But we'll see when that time comes shall we!

I'm feeling quite positive about losing weight though - which I hope is a good thing! Going to get up at a reasonable hour tomorrow before work so I can get a bit of exercise - I've got this weird step thing which works legs and butt so I think I'm going to do some of that.

Right well I'm going to go see if The Only Way Is Essex is on ITV Player (my VERY guilty pleasure!! If there's anyone reading this who doesn't know what that is, it's like an absolutely bloody terrible version of the Hills but it's addictive!).

Hope everybody has had as good a weekend as me and is going into the week with the same positive determination!

NIGHT!!!! X
 
Darn it it's not on there!

Oh well I guess I'll sleep now then ... although I have only been awake 12 and a half hours! Haha eeek!
 
Check you out with your self restraint! Sounds like you're doing awesome girlie!

I lovvvve Harrods. My Gran and I always go to the arcade section whenever we're down London end and end up saying 'I want this....and this.....and this....oooo whats that?'. Haha its awesome. Glad you have a nice time!

Keep up the good work!
 
You seem like you're doing really well :)
I've never watch Only Way.. I keep wanting to but can never bring myself to actually watch it!
I know I got so close then gave up my scale for Lent!! So I might have passed it by now but I have no idea :p The lowest I saw on my scale before I gave it up was 203.something so so close!

Keep updating about the chocolate, it's good to see what other people give up, and I feel the more people know the more accountable you are so you're less likely to give in!
 
Arghhh okay I haven't been here on ages - I came on a couple of days ago and wrote this massssiiveeeee long post and then as I went to send it everything crashed and I lost it all! And then I was in a mega rush so I couldn't re-write it! D'oh!

Anyway I havent had a very good week in all honesty (it hasn't been bad really but not been good enough to lose weight!) so Im feeling very annoyed with myself and am scared to get on the scales in case I see a gain. So I think I'm going to leave here with my head hung in shame and give myself an extremely severe pep talk.

Redpiggy - that's amazing you've given up the scales! I think if I was doing well I wouldn't be able to not go on them! It gives me more motivation when I go on them though if I've lost weight. so you're pretty hardcore being able to do that .. I'm impressed! The not-eating-chocolate malarky is actually going fine ... I am pretty pleased with myself about that. Whoooooop.

Anyway my mission tomorrow - to have a bloody amazing day and not eat/do stupid things just to prove to myself that I'm not a useless knob!

Night chaps, hope you've all had a better week than me!
