Okay well this is the new home of my diary =)

It seems most people on the site have one so i decided i'd make one too. I don't know if i will be able to record what i eat everyday but i will try keep people updated on how things are going.

I would like to reach my goal of 140lbs by this time next year, which will allow for me to lose weight without rushing. I am going to set myself mini 10lb goals so when i hit 210lbs i will totally be happy with myself.

My boyfriend is being really supportive of me in my efforts to lose weight and has agreed to not eat fast foods around me, and to help me in the gym with some weights exercises because i know how to do and have ever done is cardio.

I am aiming to continue my gym pattern which is 4 or 5 days a week and includes uphill treadmill running, elliptical, stepper and bike. Then i will do some balance exercises on my balance ball and a bit of toning stuff that i know how to do.

The rate at which i gained weight was extremely fast and in the space of about 6 months year i was up from 170 to 220 which utterly disgusted me and why i am making this change. I KNOW losing weigh will come alot slower han gaining and i am prepared for that.

so yes. this is my diary and i will try document my trials and tribulations from day to day :)

ick...

well im in a bad mood. Its my time of the month and im in soooo much pain not to mention im so bloated the scale says 224 ... UGH !!

Went to the tax office today too and we keep being sent to different offices all over town its so annoying. so yeah. today is not going too well.

I haven't even eaten lunch yet and its 3:30pm, i tried to eat but my tummy hurts so much i found it hard. Im going to take a painkiller then try get some good food in my system.

I think im going to TRY weigh myself weekly, if i can resist temptation to weigh everyday lol.

so yeah.. today is blaaarrgghhhhh
 
hey sorry to hear that your not feeling to well...i know how that is! dont worry about the scale, when your off it will drop down!! I know its so hard no to weight everyday!! i use to do that, but it makes it more fun to see how much you lose in 7 days, also when you weight everyday the scale never seem right and you get mad, not a good thing!! well best of luck to you!
:waving:
 
well today we went to Logans for lunch and where-as i would normally get a burger and fries instead i opted for a salad and baked potato.

I really need to stop drinking diet soda, i have def cut down so im trying to gradually ween myself off it.

weight this morning was 217.9 so im happy the numbers are getting smaller even if it is just water weight. Tomorrow is the gym and with my new 160GB ipod packed with loads of workout songs i intend to push my body so hard it hates me for days lol !
 
Glad you're feeling better and making plans for the gym--working out will feel so good, and congrats on your healthy lunch in the face of temptation!
 
hehe thanks.

i love the gym sooo much and if i could would go 7 days a week, but i know thats not healthy to do.

i wish there was someone near me whom i could do this with, i find losing weight SO much easier when someone is doing it with me. cause i get all competitive and do so well lol
 
hey thanks for stoppin by!! Yeah i know what you mean about hoving some one dong it with you!! but remember that thats what this site is for it helps so much!!!
 
yeah the site seems great.

i think i have about figured it out, so im going to try stop in new people's diaries and say hello and such hehe.

i just ate 2 girl scout cookies, which was BAD... but im not beating myself up over it so im feeling good.

today's workout went well. did treadmil for 20 mins, 10 running. elliptical for 10 and stepper for 5. short workout but very high intensity, i was so red faced and sweaty afterwards lol
 
yeah i guess i could do that. it'd just be hard for me, cause i see the gym as a place to completely thrash it and go all out lol.

well i WAS down to 216.8 but this morning the scale says 218.7 lols.. uggghh . i really need to stop weighing everyday. i wont record the change i'll just see how the weekend gos and record monday's weight i think.

the weekend is always so unpredictable for us, and so is what i'll be eating. I'll just think meats and veggies and smallll portions lol

Hey you,
I used to binge too...and sometimes still do. So I know where you are coming from and I am also over two hundred pounds, so I understand that. There is a thread around here where only two hundred and more are allowed in. You may want to try and look for it. ITs the 200 club pretty much and it helps me alot to see SOOO many people in my predicament.

plus I binge because I have a food addiction. I eat out of procrastination, boredom, emotional. You must eat during the day, it will cut out binges, and if you binge at night, it will help cut out binges at night. I would eat three balanced meals a day spaced out and two snacks, with fruit or crackers.

Just suggestions. And when you seem to lose motivation, just check others journals or go to the 200 club thread and you will regain that motivation. Don't hate yourself or feel disgusted in yourself if you binge, just think, tonight is a new night, or tomorrow is a new day...and I will reach this goal... as it takes time... just remember your not going to lose weight over night and your weight fluctuates through out the day ... or even week ...
I would jump into a club challenge, those are the best. You weigh in once a week. Since the March challenge doesn't seem to be up, I have joined the Birthday Challenge and it seems to be working... I will be weighing in every week I have decided, I hold myself more accountable that way ...and only weigh yourself once a week... or only take the number on Monday seriously and try not to focus too much on the scale .. I did that and gained weight back .. I became depressed because I saw gains and stopped working out ..but I am back on track and have lost the weight I gained, my official weigh in day is Tuesday for now. Challenges really challenge you, its you against the other people who join the challenge and it challenges yourself ...

so I wish you the best and I will check your diary every so often ..
keep trecking hun
you can do this!! We at the forum are here for you!!

later
always

Hi Snookums!!

Seems like you're off to a fantastic start - I'm impressed at your gym habits! That's one thing I have to get on the ball with - but I think this week will be more focused on calorie counting, then we'll do specific gym stuff once I get the calories down! Hehe.

Bravo to you for your supportive sweetie. That's always important!! Definitely can make life difficult if you're dieting and your significant other isn't. So hooray for him! :)
 
the thing no obese woman wants to hear...

so yesterday me and my man were shopping in sam's club. we took our chicken breasts and protein bars to check out and were all happy at the short queue. My bf paid for the stuff, and then a large black lady turned to me, smiled and said " when are you due? " .... i smiled nervously and said... oh... no.. im not. Not hearing me she said.. huh? at which i said...no im not pregnant im just large.

Being a larger woman i just KNOW not to ask a woman if she's pregnant unless she 100% blatantly is, so as not to embarrass both myself and her.

so i shed a tear or two, then went to get me an ice cream. not the best idea i know but i just needed something comforting. needless to say i will be busting ass from now on, and will work sooo hard in the gym.

In all honesty i don't think i look pregnant neither does my bf but i was wearing leggings and a maternity looking top which a) made my boobs look huge and b) gave me a bit of a pudge right where a preggers belly would sit.

so yeah.. i got asked the question i never thought i would, and it upset me more than i ever thought it would... ugh.

THANKS for stopping by my journal guys, means alot to me to have people cheer me on and such. I'm gunna go by that 200+ plus club today and join if i can find it, so thanks for telling m about it :)
 
OMG...r u kidding me??? i cant believe that. i'm sorry that she said that to you. DOnt worry about it, your hear doing something about it! I hope your day is better!!

I can totally understand snookums!! I have this shirt ...well I did until I threw it out for this reason .. I looked so pregnant ... I looked at myself in the mirror and was horrified .. I had just been to starbucks ..where I think this guy liked me ..notice I said past tense ...

so I looked in the mirror and to my shock I realized I look pregnant lol
I was sss so horrified ..and than my mother confirmed it ..and said .."Yes you do look pregnant and that shirt looks matrinally" She is so blunt .. I threw the shirt away ..

I am sorry that happened .. just think .. ... You have all your tools to lose weight, gain great health .. you can do this!!

Dont listen to a woman ... who has no sense ...lol

Keep your head up hun!! :)

hehe thanks natalie :)

it was just one of those moments when i thought to myself " well i never thought id get to this spot, and i never thought id get this big " etc etc. But i guess i'll juse use it as fuel to become healthy again.

I know its going to be SOOOO hard to break 200 so i really need to get into serious concentration mode lol

hehe thanks amber. yeah she really said that, she had that gushy look in here eyes that women do when they see pregnant women and all. i was mortified, and when i uttered the words " no im just large " or big whatever i said, i was even more mortified. i just wanted the ground to swallow me whole lol.

my day has been good, we saw spiderwick today at cinema and it was awesome hehe.
 
Ouchhhh! .. Sorry that that woman told you that *huggles*
And I'm happy you turned it around and are using that now as fuel to reach your goal.
Thanks for stopping by, btw, and yes, my ankle is better :D I even went running yesterday! :D
I'm rooting for you! I know you can do it! When you slip-up don't let it keep you down.. I know I still have to learn to live with that. I usually feel that if I ate something bad for the day it makes no sense and i might as well eat other crap-food.
Anywhoo, GOOD LUUUCKK! :D

well i worked hard in the gym today.

did 30 mins treadmill. 10 sprinting, 10 walking VERY steep hill and 10 at 3.2 speed taking it easy.
then did 10 mins bike at level 5 and 10 mins elliptical at level 12. and cooled down with a bunch of stretches.

i was sweating so much it was so gross, but i knew that meant it was a good workout.

I have decided im going to start cooking up meals for most of the week and freezing them. just now i made a spinach, broccoli, cauliflower and pea casserole lol. i know it sounds weird but it really is very yummy hehe.

Think im going to have a lazy day today cause the weekend was soooo busy, so im gunna clean up a bit then take it easy. hope everyone is doing good!
 
ugh. i'm ill.. booooooooooooooooooo

ughhh i think i am getting the flu, or some other random illness. i woke up with my throat killing, my nose blocked, a killer headache, a hot head, extreme tummy pain with the added bonus of nausea. OH YEY.

so i may be somewhat quiet in my diary the next few days. till i get feeling better. Next to me i have 10 bottles of water, 2 mini apple juice, banana chips, a crossword book, throat sweets, my phone, lip balm and obviously my laptop. I am all set up in bed for a relaxing "get better" day hehe.

hope everyone is doing good and feeling better than i feel!
