Shape up or loose out!!

Sounds like you had a good day yesterday, congrats. I have come to like the feel of achey muscles, it means I've pushed myself beyond what I was accustomed to.

Keep it up, you can do this.

Weight is done to 204.
Went shopping at the weekend and tried on a dress that I really liked.
It was a size 16 and I couldn't get it to zip up!
My friend who is a size 8 couldn't get into the size 8 dress though so I felt a bit better.
I've always thought I was a size 16 though and it wouldn't do up!
So that gave me a bit of a motive.
Even better was this morning when I jumped on the scales and I'd lost another pound!!
Just keeps getting better!
Its my friends 18th this weekend though which could mean lots of cake!
And I know shes having a hog roast and a chocolate fountain!
 
So I know I probably shouldn't weigh myself everyday but I do.
It helps me keep track off where I am and how I'm doing.
So I jumped on this morning for my weekly way in and......................
203lbs!!!
203!!!!
That means I've lost half a stone!!
I haven't been overly strict with the food (day off once a week)
The exercise recently has been slackinga bit but 203!
I'm pretty happy!!
 
I don't seem to be eating much.
I've eaten a sandwich and a salad in the last 3 days because I'm just not hungry,
I don't know whether I should eat a bit anyway to keep my metabolism up or just be glad that I'm not hungry at the moment!!
I've got my friends picninc tonight and no doubt there will be cakes and chocoalte and everything else so I'm thinking that I'll probably eat my weeks amount of food tonight!

Weekend didn't go too well! Ate alot of cake. Not too much chocolate and stuff, but definatly enough. We all got back Friday night after a bit of drinking and sat back down to our picnic! Had a good weekend and also on Saturday night I was in the bathroom at my friends and jumped on the scales just to have a quick peek.

Said 199lbs!
Not taking it as a weight becuase its not Friday but got a bit excited and its really driven me to actually get to that weight! Quite looking forward to getting there now!

Feel like I'm quite back on track as well with my exercise and everything.
Got up this morning and went for a quick walk and then walked to work.

Going for a walk at lunch time and think I'll go to the gym and go for a swim as well!

Feeling good!
Really good!
And its my birthday next out of my friends (not until November) but I'm still next!

So want to look good for that!
Already know what I want t o wear!
I love to plan ahead!!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!
My weight is driving my crazy!
It will not go down!!
I havent even lost much and now its just stuck!!
I've been exercising, eating salads at lunch, bit of cereal for lunch and veg and a bit of meat for dinner!!
But I just keep eating crap at work.
I'm eating sweets and biscuits and there just seems to be cakes everywhere!!
I need to be stricter!!!
I need to do more exericise!!
Today I ate:

Caramel Ice cream in a waffle cone,
A little pack of sweets,
A drumstick lolly,
2 options hot chocolates.

Yesterday i had:

Cereal
Piece of toast,
salad with low fat cheese, chicken and egg,
fajitas for tea,
drum stick,
maoam (lots of!)

Its just really starting to annoy me!!

FROM NOW ON I VOW TO WORK MY ARSE OFF!!
LITERALLY!!!
ITS TIME IT WENT A BIT!!
 
ugh when i write it out like that it looks rubbish!
I'm sticking below 1500 calories 1000 most days! And im walking to and from work which is a 45 mintue walk, down hill on the way but uphill on the way back!!
Steep up hill!!
I need to find my swimming costume, get to the gym and do a bit of swimming! Why is my weight so stressful!!!
 
so the weight hasn't been going to well recently so I decided to really cut back and really do some exercise.
So I've been walking to work (about 2.5 miles) walking back, walking in the morning if not walking to work (its been raining alot again) and last night I got bored at 8ish so went to the gym.
Half an hour on the exercise bike reading harry potter (only just got it off my friend!!) and then half an hour in the swimming pool.
I can never find the motivation to go to the gym but after I've been I feel so good and healthy and even proud of myself!!
I need to keep this up!
I'm enjoying it!!
its just finding the motivation.
i'm always making up excuses of time but I have the time!!
I can do this!!
 
Right so I haven't written on here in ages!!!
Weight has really altered but my attitude has.
I became lazy again.
Making excuses for everything and not doing any exercise, eating crap again.
Luckily I didn't put on weight but I also didn't lose any.
So I'm back on track now.
I get up at 6am.
Go to the gym for 7am.
40 minutes on the exercise bike, 10 minutes doing weights then back to the gym in the evening exercise bike for 40 minutes and swim for 30 minutes.

On top of that i'm aiming to eat more high protein foods and stay away from carbs.
I find eating protein at breakfast brilliant!
Fills me right up until lunch time!
The only problem I have is my sweet tooth.

So I'm on week 2 with this going to the gym in the morning, only thought about maybe I should hit it after work too.

I love going in the morning! It's always just me and this other woman in there. Shes going for it on the running machine and I sit on the bicycle pedaling away reading a book!
The other problem I have is swimming! My swimming costume went all funny the other week. See through! So I brought a new one the other day but its so tight that when I swim I get back ache!
so I'll ahve to buy another one this weekend and hang on to the smaller one for the future!

So I am going to write on here as often as possible what exercise I've done, What I've eaten in a day and also what my weight is everyday if possible.
I know you shouldn't weigh everyday but I just really want to keep an eye on my weight.

The thing that really lets me down in weekends.
My friends have gone off to Uni so theres not much going out drinking any more which is one good thing as I don't go out drinking every weekend but it means I tend to stay in with other friends and everything sort of revolves around crap food.

But I was watching MTV the other night and it was saying something about how cravings only last between 8-11 minutes.
So every time I want chocoalte I've started to tell myself in 15 minutes I won't want the chocolate but if I eat it, in 1 hour I'll still feel guilty!

So thats the plan!
if I write it down what I'm eating everyday for others to see I might not binge as much as others have to see it too!!
 
God I am actually rubbish at this.
Keeping track is not one of my strong points thats for sure.
I have been eating rubbish like its going out of fashion.
That is my only hate about winter and christmas,
Chocolates, biscuits, cakes, crisps everywhere and lots of drinking.

I haven't put any weight on again but I'm not losing it either.
Basically the same concept as the post above I know.
I am determinded to make a list of everything i eat everyday from here forth!
(hopefully!)
I am awful at all this keeping track stuff I know!
 
God I haven't been on here in ages. And things have gone bad. So I'm back with full force!
So I'm overweight. About 70lbs overweight. I'm classified as obese. So I guess I'm obese. God that sounds so much worse when its written down for other people to see. OBESE. I don't think I look particularly obese but maybe I do to other people. I still kid myself I'm a size 14. Still? When was I ever a size 14 apart from about for 4 weeks 2 years ago?
SO here it is. My new years resolution. Lose weight. Lose all 70lbs. Get down to 140lb. I know what your thinking....For crying out loud, stop moaning about it and do some thing. The thing is with me I eat crap. I crave sugar and eat sooooo much crap. Simple solution? Don't do it? I know, I know. It should be simple but it isn't is it. Nothings ever simple. The thing that pisses me off most is that its the one thing I really have to work to get and I can't do it. What does that say about me as a person? Does it mean I'm weak? I can't have other people know I'm trying to loose weight incase I fail. No one ever knows in case I fail which all the other times I obviously have. Its a killer. I can't fail any more. Its not an option. If I do fail I am weak. I should be determinded to do this. I am thinking about it but when it comes round to it I never am. Its crap and I'm a twat. I do not understand why I can't do this. I've been overweight over half my life. Do I want to by over weight for the rest of my life or snip it now, look the part and roll on?
Rolling on and looking the part seems like the best idea to me.
I want to do this for me more than anything else in the world. I wish I had someone to work out with and stuff though. Thats the only thing that gets to me! I think I'l ltry and persuade my dad. That'd be key. We can work out together then. Find out who can loose 14lbs first etc. Bit of friendly competition.
So the plan is January the 1st go for it. Train like hell, eat mainly a GI based diet.
I'm thinking 20 mins walk in the morning followed by 45 mins in the gym then a mix of 40 min exercise in the eveing with 20mins toning and strength.
God I'd love a personal trainer and nutrionist to just come round and sort me out! That'd be unreal.
I'm going to do this for myself. Ok, so i lie a little bit when I say for myself. Theres this guy (Loser, I know!!) and I like him, he sort of likes me but he also likes this girl who is a size 10 (I know hes a prat, but he has been tapping her for like a year, I've only known him about 6 months.) Lets call him X and other girl Y. So I've known X about 6 months, we've messed around a bit and hes messed around with Y. I was just expecting the one night of messing around with X which is all it has been but I'd love to loose the weight and X be a little bit regretful and think I look unreal!
I'd love that!! So thats the plan. Plenty of exercise, bit less of the food, keep a journal so I know how everythings turning out etc. Maybe even some photos just so I can see how bad my OBESE self looks. I'm quite excited and determineded to get it all going!
I've worked out I can be my ideal weight by August if I work my arse off! August thats like basically this year!!
8 months hard work for hte rest of my life!! pimpin' pimpin' pimpin'!!
hahahahah!!

OK
So todays the day.
I weighed in this morning at 213lbs.
Not good.
Bust measurement is 40inches,
Waist is 37inches
Hips are 44
Thigh 27
Arm 13

Imagine having a 27inch thing!
I know people with waists smaller than my thigh.
Not good

So I was thinking this morning when I woke up that I am unhealthy and after looking at my weight and measurements I have confirmed that.

So its not for vanity any more, its not for any boys, not to fit into society. Its for something much more important. My health. I'm 20 years old, if I carry on I will get diabetes as well as heart problems no doubt.

So heres to better health for all of us. And a Happy New Year.
Everyone can do this.
Do it for your health if nothing else.
 
I've signed up to the biggest loser challenge on here.
hopefully that will give me the much needed kick in the bum!
Went to my friends last night, ended up having dinner with them jacket potato, chicken caserole, brocolli and peas. Really yummy! Then we went on a hunt for Ben & Jerrys (for them not me, not overly keen on ice cream) Couldn't find any so my 2 friends got those puddings you put in the microwave, sticky toffee and a chocolate one.
I DIDN'T HAVE ONE!!
God I felt good!
Instead I had a fruit salad chew bar (100 cals) and a pack of Special K Cereal bites (100 cal) I know it totals up to 200 cals but its still a lot less than one of those puddings with cream so i was happy with that!
woo hoo!
