well..here goes...I'm sick of being called "cute" so I'm ready to work hard and buff up. I've been watching the posts and am ready to start my own personal diary. First up is setting my goals.I've bought a scale that shows BMI as well as weight and it will track up to 52 weigh ins before it starts to delete them.I don't just want to lose weight I want to train hard and be really healthy,I'm not in a hurry either I just want to do it right.I have a gym membership and am also planning a gym in my basement with a treadmill and Wieder Full body compact home gym.I have free weights,different size exercise balls,skipping rope,chin up bar a step and lots of videos but would like to get a few new ones to sabbatoge evil boredom.I really like "get ripped" I have two of these.I plan on alternating weight days with cardio days but will still do some cardio on weight days but more intense cardio on the actual cardio days.85% of losing weight is eating right so I will plan out my week on Sunday nights and do my best to stick with it.Any tips or advice would be welcome and I will post pics when I learn how.That's all for now.Oh and I have put an order in for victoria secret which should arrive any day and keep me inspired.

well I thought that this whole weight loss thing would be a breeze....geeze was I wrong.I bought a scale(i've never owned one)got it up and running(the fancier sort with BMI calculater and stuff)because that's what everybody on here seems to go by.Sooo.I'm all excited to step on this damn thing and when I do I think it is right up there with the most disappointing days of my life thus far.Not only do I weigh soooo much more than I ever would have expected but I've also got a BMI in the obese region.Well..what now?I've been exercising to the point of extreme exaustion and going to bed around 9:00 being so tired.I've been tracking my food intake and didn't think it was that bad but obviously I was dead wrong!!I didn't lose weight I put weight on!!!!I've been drinking water to.WHAT NOW???????I'm so disappointed,deflated and disinterested in continuing this journey.
 
Restart

o.k....restart.I'm looking at this the wrong way.I've been doing an all or nothing.typically my style.Beat myself up if things are not perfect and working as planned.Don't feel sorry for yourself just get on the train and try harder.I'm having trouble coordinating having a great exercise day with a good eating day.Why?Hmmm.O.K. strart small.eating is higher key to losing weight than exercise so I will start planning my eating more than the exercise for now until I'm better at eating better.I would just like to see the scale move down even a pound.will give this a try for a few weeks and see how it goes.Good for now.Geesh. This is a rollercoaster of emotions.
 
Hello,

Was just reading through and its good you decided to drop the all or nothing attitude. Take it one day at a time and relax you're in it for the long haul.

What are you stats? And how much are you wanting to loose?

It might also be helpful to post your food intake which will also make you more accountable for you daily choices. Loosing weight can be a breeze you just have to get your head wrapped around it in the right way.

I also suggest that you take your measurements. I've found that even though I haven't lost weight that I have lost inches which can really boost your motivation!

I'm rooting for ya, keep the good attitude and the results will be soon to follow!

Cheers,
Dee
 
Hey chicky! You didn't tell me you started a diary!:hurray:
Now... For the BMI, what is your height and weight? Are you athletic build or skinny or...? I know for me, I NEVER check my BMI because at my leanest, I'm considered obese based on my height and weight. I honestly don't think BMI is a good indicator of where you should be... Measurments and the way your clothes fit is the best (IMO). Take it one day at a time and don't let the number on the scale dictate what kind of day you're gonna have. You can do it! :hurray:
