Well, you're not lazy, Loch :) Your determination has always been great ever since you started posting on the forums!


You're still recovering from a pretty nasty cold. You'll get back into a good stride soon and be just fine :)


221 is just fluctuation, unless you ate a surplus of 7000+ calories in the last week (which I doubt!), so don't worry :)
 
Hi Loch :)


Great pic update! You're looking so toned! There's a definite difference in your arms and tummy, but I think I see the biggest difference in your legs and calves (this gives me hope because I feel like mine are never going to slim down!) Also, your skin looks great, you must really be doing some healthy eating. Keep up the awesome work and oh, and was that your birthday dinner? If so, then happy birthday! :)
 
AI'm around, I still check the forum once in a while just...haven't had much to say. Guess I'm in a mood or something.

Down to 218 today, would be better if I hadn't had 4 cupcakes last week.

Had a really douche-bag guy try and pick me up over facebook and MSN. It's a long story, but yeah, ended up deleting/blocking him again.

Sad that I didn't even start my NaNaWriMo this year...but whatever, I can write a novel during any month.

I always feel hungry.

Still not exercising, it's back to the point where I'm afraid to go. It's also so damn cold outside.
 
Ahh, Loch. How are you?


WTFUDGE. You're 218 already?! You are losing all the weight wayyyyy faster than I am. Congratz!
 
AApparently 217 tonight.

Ah! I actually wanted 210 by the end of November, but yeah, I'm surprised. I'm doing well haha. Thanks guys. I know I've been mostly absent, but, it really does cheer me up to see people poking in here :). You guys are amazing too. I'll drop buy journals tomorrow!
 
ACongrats on the 217....I am so proud of you and a little bit envious..you seem so on track! Keep it up! :)
 
ANice work Loch, it seems even while you were sick your body still worked overtime, to lose those lbs.

Woah! :eek: 217?? AWESOME!!

Aside from the stress that the holidays always bring, everyone seems to be doing wonderfully! It makes me so glad!


Nice work, Loch! :biggrin: I hope you feel good enough to exercise sometime again in the future. Just watch your calories until then and, remember, gum for cravings! :p


Damn weather though.. yeah. I hate cold. :mad:
 
AHehe, big popped eye smilie face.

Weather has been nice, woo! However, makes it icy...ick.

Gonna begin operation "lose 15lb by Jan 1st" lol. Tomorrow is Monday, got the early shift, gonna go to the gym! No ifs, ands, or butts about it.

Decided to treat myself and buy some make up. Last time I bought make up was 4 years ago. I was never very good at it, but I tried, and I did really well! I decided to take pics (my facebook had photos from 30lbs ago! That won't do at all!). So, I'mma share 'em here.

Oooh and I've been eating well! Can't say how many days, I think the last time I ate bad was...well, last week, those 4 cupcakes. I've been sticking to 1200-1400 since then. I think I'm back into the swing of things.

Photo from Feb, 250lb or somesuch

Great photos!! Your face has definitely slimmed out heaps!! Actually you look a lot more confident too, the first pic kinda looks like you are hiding behind your hair a little.


Haha is it a True Blood t-shirt...?
 
AYup! True Blood ^^. I love that show.

I'd say I def. have more confidence. I still like my old pic, my hair was pretty lol, but it's nice to see the difference in my face finally :).
 
Wow, your face really has slimmed down a lot, and you look great as a brunette, your eyes are straight up gorgeous! I have my own lose-15lbs-by-Jan-1st goal, race ya! ;)
 
You look fabulous, Loch! WOO! :hurray:


I totally dig your taste in shirts as well! I recognized that shirt too - was that a Teefury design?? :biggrin: I friggin' love that website! I spend way too much money though on it occasionally, haha :p
 
AYep, I love teefury. I have like...twenty shirts from there. I started off buying men's XXL, but now I'm buying women's XL which fits (snug) like the one in the pictures. I think another 15lb and they'll fit decently.

Really I'm more a collector than anything. I'll probably only wear a select few, but they're really nice!

I went to the gym today! It's operation 15lb til Jan 1st time!

Today I ate
Frozen dinner - 260
Red Bull - 100 (my coworker bought me one cuz I muttered under my breath that I needed a red bull lol. I was like "dude that's 100 calories!" but oh well, it was kind of him, and I could spare it)
Chips - 150
Turkey sticks - 120
Chicken Bacon Ranch sub - 510 (for some reason I though these were 300!! I was wrong. Oh well, too late, I already ordered it when I found out)

Total: 1140

Today I did
Curves - 642
Walking - 182

Total: 824

So the last day I worked out was October 29th. That was...well, a month ago. Man, oh man, time flies! I feel like it was just yesterday that I found out I lost 7lb. I'd done better before, but this time, that was for a challenge. Guess what? I won! Yep, I went in today and found out I won. I said "Who won the boot camp" and the girl looked at me, confused "Didn't you?"

They never phoned me, haha. Oh well.

I thought it was a free month, but I guess I won a free t-shirt $25.00 and under. That's nice, anyway, I'm just proud that I won. I worked hard, it was an achievement. I really do hope that December goes well! I had a month break, it's time to stop being lazy.
 
Nice Loch! Congrats on the win! :hurray:


I have you so beat on Teefury shirts though
smile.gif
I'm a big collector as well! I probably have about 20 or 30 of them, lol. My roommate always gives me crap every time I get one in the mail. Oh, and I've been ordering them for over a year now, so unfortunately the ones I ordered months ago are too big for me now ;( I'd give them to my roommate, but he's too big for XL, so blegh. I guess I'll just frame the cooler ones or something, hah. :p


Excellent job on the diet/exercise too, Loch! Keep on rockin' it!
