basically i am editing this today(27 dec 07) because i did not have an introduction to my diary at all. so here goes.

start date - 29 nov 07
age - 20
height - 5' 5''
weight - 169lb (goal = 150)
bust = 40.9inch/104 cm (goal = 33.1 inch/84cm)
waist = 34.3 inch/87 cm (goal = 25.2 inch/64cm)
hips = 42.5 inch/ 108 cm (goal = 35 inch/ 89 cm)

thats all i can think off. any questions just ask!!! ;-)


So here goes:

:waving: Welcome to the Weight Loss Forum, and to your new diary! You've picked an excellent place to track your journey and get great encouragement and advice.

Do you have a plan to lose the weight?
Posting B4 pics can be very motivational (It has been for me!)
Check out other folks' journals to see how they are shedding their weight, too.

To get a WL ticker, go back to the main page under GENERAL forum, and right near the top is one for NEWBIES (can't recall if that is the title, but close). I have found, with the ticker, that I must make a new one each time I reach a new weight; for some reason, mine doesn't let me edit. But it is really simple (just remember it is the BBC code you need to copy!) & only takes a minute or so.

Best wishes on your journey!

Hi Angel

If you do not like exercise but like walking - it is perfectly possible to lose weight with walking as the only or main exercise.

I walk a lot - but lost a lot of weight when I was doing no other exercise.

You can weigh as often or as rarely as you like. Everyone can judge best what is right for them. Many people say that you should only weigh once a week - but I would be very unhappy if I had to do that. I am much happier weighing every day. We are all different.

You ask about counting calories for fruit. Really I suppose it depends on how strictly you want to count calories. I dont count calories at all. I am however calorie aware and certainly try to avoid foods that I know are high calorie.

Some fruits are fairly high in calories - e.g. banana, avacado - so I suppose if you didnt count them and really liked some high calorie fruit you could be eating more calories than you thought.

I personally prefer to try and go for a diet that I believe is balanced and moderate.

There are lots of sticky threads about the place on things like calories and nutrition. A lot of people set up fitday accounts for counting calories.

Good luck with your project.

Take care
Love

Lol!! i couldn't help myself. I got up this morning and weighed myself about 10 times. Well i think i can safely say i lost another pound wooohooo!!!!

I don't count calories either. ca't seem to get into the habit of it and like Dad said yesterday 'eat however much you want to kill your hunger but eat healthily' so that's my rule now.

I am using the pedometer today. i keep checking that it is working. It is amazing how many steps you do in soo little time. I LOVE IT!!!

thanx for everyfin!! ure gr8

Good luck with the rest of the weight.

i'll b bak later 2day with an update

Hi Angel

Why did you leave it until the 3rd December to start the December challenge. Surely your loss on 1st and 2nd counts towards it. You lost the weight in December.

Did you see that there are two weight loss in December challenges?

We all have days when we feel bloated and horrible. Sometimes (e.g. period time) - exercise can actually help things feel better. You actually burn up more calories with exercise at that time of the month too.

If you feel like you need some extra motivation - sometimes reading other people's diaries can help. It can make you see that you are not alone.

When I need some extra motivation - I often read about "Charlie Walduck". He lost a lot of weight on the This Morning television program. You can google his name. Reading about him always helps to motivate me.



I hope that you are feeling better and more positive soon.

It is important to keep eating a reasonable amount of healthy food - no matter how hungry you feel.

Think of your body like a machine. It runs much better if it has really good quality fuel and is well maintained. If you run out of petrol - the car does not go.

Take care

Thanx agen x
 
Hi Angel

If you weighed less on 1st Dec (I think that you did) - I would go in and edit your page so that it has the 1st and that weight. You should compare your loss for the whole month of December with other peoples. Why give everyone else a head start. My page has 1st Dec as does most people's.

Did you check out the other weight loss challenge? It is a nice one because people are a bit more inclined to encourage each other there.

If you cant stomach much to eat then milk can be a good idea. It is nourishing - that is why babies get given it.

What are you studying? Is the assignment going to keep you up very late?

Take care
