Tink's latest and final attempt at skinny!!!

I am sorry you are not feeling so well! I hope it gets better soon!

I know what you mean about the 210 not ever coming nearer... for me it is the 130ies... they just don't want to be reached! And once I reached them, I just know I will bloat for some reason or another and then be back in my 40ies!

I wish I had the Wii fit... in fact I wish I had the Wii... in fact I wish I had a TV! Well my parents have the wii and I love bowling and tennis on it, but I am only home like every 4 months, so there is no point in getting the wii fit there. My boss just got one and I am thinking of using it when they are gone in the evenings... only he hasn't even unwrapped it yet... not sure I can manage to unwrap and connect it and then wrap it all up nicely again...

Well, be better soon, rest and drink a lot of vitamine C, Camy
 
Thanx Camy :) Been resting and taking lots of vits but it is just taking forever to shift! The WII fit is great fun, I cant wait til Im healthy enough to use it intensively!

Karmann - awww thanx! I know it was just a bad day but i felt like a bloody blimp! We'll soon see what the scales say tomorro!:leaving:

LOL I have spent more money on clothes in the last 6 months than I spent in the previous 6 years.

Gaining weight...just keep shoving your azz into the same pair of jeans...lose weight...and you gotta have new clothes. You cannot keep up pants that are too big (unless you wear a belt or suspenders) :)

And another high this moring....224.6lbs on the scales!!! :party: So long 225....I am sooo over you!!! Now im moving on to 220......here i bloody well come!!!

Oh dear god i have been a reallllyyyyyyyy bad girl this weekend - too much wine, too many cals, no exercise....dammit!

Friday night i drank abt 1.5 bottles wine - hadnt planned on it but was so busy chatting that i didnt pay any attention to how much iwas drinking...ugh

Saturday was an all day trip with the staff, tapas lunch with sangria, wine in the theatre, pizza and avocado salad and SO MANY GLASSES OF WINE THAT I COULDNT COUNT IT ALL. Not good at all and i feel shit today. Im an idiot and my liver is screaming fpr mercy i think....

Someone told me that wine and cream have the same average cal content - so every glass of wine is like drinking a glass of cream (cal wise obv not the same fat content at all!) gonna try to remember this the next time i want some!

So its a blanket ban next weekend of ANY alcohol. cant afford the cals or the liver cells.

Tried to be good today, even though i was hung over to hell and all i wanted was milk, cheese and white bread!

Food

Lunch 2x brown rolls with ham and tom (500 cals)

Dinner - Baguette with thin steak, onions and mayo (800 cals)

Snacks - 6.5 square chocolate 200 cals, plain chicken breast 180 cals, glass milk 100 cals, coffee 30 cals

total cals Abt 1800


Tomorrow will be a very good day and im def going back to the gym this week so hopefully i can stop myself gaining any new lbs from this weekend.

I am truly my own worst enemy.....aaarrggghhhhhhhhhhhh
 
I don't know what kind of wine you drank, but wine is about the lowest calorie alcoholic beverage there is. Light wine is only 15 calories per oz....a 3 1/2 oz glass (typical serving) is less than 55 calories. I can't tell you how many calories are in a red wine as I rarely drink reds.

Thanx for the support/telling off Radiant!

Judy - It was was just normal wine but plenty of it! Dont even want to think of the cals involved - i just know that it was def really high!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Had my school summer trip today ice skating and swimming at big lesuire centre....and i FELL on the ice and landed full force on my tailbone!!! The shame and the PAIN....can barely sit down now! I was MORTIFIED..my whole class was there!! Oh dear and now im hoping that the pain will have died down enough for me to go to my combat class in abt 3 hrs time!

On a diff issue altogether, i weighed myself this morning and i have put on 5lbs due to this weekends excess...was 224.6 on friday and today i was 229.4 lbs. Now i was bad but not that bad! It surely cant all be fat so im hoping that it will just be retained water...or maybe i was that greedy! So i figure that i will try my best and see what i can do this week to bring it back down again. Dont really see much point in beating myself up abt it cos its done now...just so long as i dont get into a rut of eating badly (my usual course of action when i fall off the wagon)

So measurements this week:

Chest - 96cm (38 in) - down 0.5 cm this week - 4.5cm total loss
Waist - 99 cm (39 in) - no change this week - 2.5cm total loss
Hips - 117 cm (46in) - no change this week - finally down by 1cm total!
Bum - 118cm (47.5in) - down 2.5 cm this week - 8 cm total loss
Thighs - 60.5 cm (24.75 in) - 2.5cm lost this week - 8 cm total loss
Calves - 43 cm (17 cm) - stayed the same - 3cm total loss
Upper Arms - 33.5 cm (13.5in) - down 0.9cm this week - 3.6cm total loss Lower Arms - 28.5 cm (11.5in) - down 0.5cm - 0.5 cm total loss

Food for today

Lunch - 2 wholemeal rolls with ham, some crips (500 cals)

Dinner - spicy chicken with rice and yoghurt (800 cals)

Snacks - one latte 100 cals, i scone and jam 150 cals

Total cals Around 1600 ish

Exercise

2 x 30 min walk with dog
WII - 10 mins yoga, 30 mins aerobics and muscle strengthening
20 mins tae bo
1hr light ice skating

Total time - 3hrs

Hoefully my bruised tail bone wont stop me exercising! There is always something wrong with me!! This is supposed to be making me healthier lol!
 
Hello there :)

Red wine I don't think it too bad, if you don't overdo it. I drink it sometimes and I prefer it actually to a shot of liquor, and calorically I think it isn't too bad. I might have to try the whole vodka and diet coke route, even tho hard alcohol I pretty much ban myself from because I turn into a crazy on it, lol... The problem with wine is that a 3.5oz glass isn't usually the amount someone pours into a glass for themselves, myself included :)

Congrats on the weight loss. Your doing terrific. I want to go ice skating so bad, I haven't been in years. I used to take lessons when I was a teenager, LOL.. I haven't done it in years though. I wonder if it's like one of those things like riding a bike, ya never forget, eh? We'll see.

Have a great day,
Sam
 
Hi Sam :) Thanx for stopping by! I am a big fan of vodka and diet coke...does what its supposed to and has pretty low cals (only 50 cals per 25ml shot). I love wine tho and i drink waayy too much of it! So think I will stick to vodka (but not next weekend cos im not drinking AT ALL!)
 
Back down to 228...but still not back to the 224.6 that i really want to be! Been pretty good so far today but the temptation is there to just think 'sod it' and eat what i want (pizza) and do no exercise. Im fed up! How could i have put on 4lbs in one weekend? There is no way i should have put on that much...2lbs maybe i could understand but 4lbs????

Feeling tired and completely demotivated today - just want cheese toasties and then go to bed! Suppose i could do that but i doubt i would feel better after it...sigh.....i hate this, im usually positive and i hate feeling down :(
 
Food for today

Lunch - baked pot with a litlle cheese and lots of salad (450 cals)

Dinner - Baguette with chicken, light mayo and tomato (700 cals)

Snacks - 2 cheese sanwiches (900 cals - i am a pig and i did give in :(:(), scone and jam 150 cals, coffee 30 cals, milk 100 cals

Total cals - Around 2400 which is just abt maintenance for me but will def not help me get this bloody weight off:toetap05: i am soooo annoyed with myself and i know it was just a bad day but im so close to my first target (and my holiday) that i fellt shit that i have messed it up and now it will take me an extra day to lose anything at all.....

Exercise

Sooo tired today that i cant be bothered but will take the puglet out for 30 mins and will def hit the gym tomorrow evening. Think i just need to sleep and feel a little more energised, then il stop being such a moany cow!

Hi there! I'm new to the site and was just poking around other people's diaries. I read your first post, and noticed you're almost at your goal for new summer clothes. Good going! I love the idea of rewards for mini goals, and I think I'm going to go dream some up on my diary!

You're doing a great job! Keep at it!

Celia
 
Thanx celia :) Always great when someone new drops by! Im already buying the clothes for my hols - just couldnt wait!

Food for today

Lunch - very strange mix! opted for a school lunch and it was the most bizarre thing i ever had! One slice toast 100 cals, 2 roast potatoes 100 cals, two spoons beans 60 cals and 20g cheese 120 cals - 400 cals all in i think

Dinner - refried bean enchiladas with rice and yohurt 800 cals

Snacks - banana 100 cals, kitkat 107 cals

Exercise
30 min walk with pug
Tae bo basic workout and 8 min workout

Feeling more positive today :) Gonna just try to keep my spirits up (and get enough sleep) for the rest of this week...might just get those extra lbs off!
 
Hey there :)

Good work on the eating for today! Your spirits and mine do need to stay up. Today is feeling much better than yesterday for me... Hopefully it stays that way :)

Getting enough rest is definitely a must. Sleep is something that is pretty much a non-negotiable constant in my life, at least when i can control it. I've seen quite a few studies recently saying sleep, 8hrs per night is very very important, for weight loss and overall health. Plus I feel like sleep is a good beauty secret too, at least imo :)

Good job at getting those workouts in too. I'm going to after work tonite. I can't decide if I'm going to the gym or on one of my runs outside... Decisions decisions....

have a great rest of the day,
Sam
 
Thanx Sam! :D:D

Well weighed in today at 226.3lbs...which is a gain but lower than i was on monday when i weighed 229. Given that i havnt been particularly angelic with the food choices, im pretty pleased that i lost anything!

I tried on some bathing suits today - ugh...no one wants to see that! Decided that a bikini look a little better than a one piece purely because i can make my boobs look ok in an uplift but not in a flattening costume! Plus tie side bikini bottoms are quite flattering as you can make sure that they dont dig in at all, so lumps and bumps! I know im not gonna look like a supermodel at the pool but i can make myself look as unlumpy as possible! Sarongs will be my holiday best friends!

But at least i got clothes to fit me in a normal shop! No more plus size shops/depts for me...i am officially a 'normal' size :svengo: bit insulting tho that when i was fatter i had to shop in actual fat shops.....never thought of that before really!

So overall im not too bothered today. Im glad im down and will make damned sure that i hit 224 full on next week. Im still on target to be 224 before my holiday and still might make it under the 220s but that is becoming increasingly unlikely by the day - still never say never!

Im finishing up for the term next friday and from that moment on i will be an exercising machine! There will be no excuses cos i will have sod all else to do! I have planned nothing for the first week of my school hols so that i can get down to the gym and seriously boost the weightloss before the holiday...I am also determind not to put on any weight when i get there. I usually dont like many foods in foreign countries so im hoping to avoid the pigging out and drinking too much temptations. From what i hear abt the food in tunisia i dont think il have a prob with my weight there...might actually lose some!

Gonna have a nap and then do some cardio before dinner :) Cant believe i feel this positive even tho i gained weight! Suppose i cant be miserable forever :biggrinjester:
 
down to 225lbs :hurray:

That means that i have almost completely controlled the damage from last weekend and have only gained 0.4lbs! What a releif as i really thought that i had done some serious damage!

So yep i have agined a little bi but no majorly bad damage done! And this weekend i am def behaving myself...no alchol last night and prob nine tonight. Gonna do a 4 mile walk with the puglet today and tomorrow and add in some WII fit stuff today. Tomorrow i am hitting the gym for the first time since i had the chest infection so that will prob be bloody agony! THink my fitness levels have dropped considerably. Then monday its back to combat...try to get back into the fitness regime that was actually working!

Target weight for next week is 223lbs and hopefully the week after i might hit 220...hopefully!


Food for today

Lunch - banana and peanut butter sandwich 400 cals

Dinner - chicken fajitas with rice and yoghurt, 2 tortillas 800 cals

Snacks - 6 vodka and diet lemonade (maybe) 300 cals

Total cals 1500

Exercise

4 mile walk
WII fit - 10 mins yoga, 20 mins aerobics

I think we have days when we just feel better about our bodies. It's the opposite of a "fat, ugly" day. Good days sure beat the heck out of fat ugly days though. :)

Congrats on the bikini purchase too. You must be making progress to be purchasing a bikini.
 
Hi Judy :) Im still not completely comfortable abt baring all in a bikini but i need to wear soemthing and a one piece was def less flattering - squashed down my chest and just didnt do much for me! My stomach isnt horrific (that title belongs to my thighs!) so im ok with it being on show a little - but i will def have a srong on at all times! And there will be no photographic evidence! Im now wearing a uk size 16 (which is the national average size) so im trying to look at it positively....its kinda working but i do wish that i looked slimmer and more toned. The way im thinking abt it is that 3 months a go i would have been wearing a size 20 and DREADING the poolside:hurray:

So the cals yesterday were well under 1600 so that was good :hurray:

Food today

Lunch - cheese and tomato sandwich 500 cals

Dinner - 2 veggie burgers and salad 500 cals

Snacks - 2 pk wotsits 190 cals, 200ml milk 100 cals, kitkat 107 cals, small turkeyham sandwich 230 cals, 2 pakora 70 cals

I HAVE BEEN A SNACKING MONSTER TODAY!!!

Total cals Around 1800 ish

Exercise 4 mile walk with dog
WII fit - 10 mins yoga, 20 mins aerobics



I am also back to my fitness calsses at the gym this week so hopefully i can boost the weightloss before the big holiday!

Just had a massive wardrobe clearout and i found stuff that i boxed up ages ago because it didnt fit anymore....and now some of it does! Tried on pretty much everything and the sizes ranged from a uk 12 to a 16. Fitted into all the 16 stuff :hurray::hurray: so now im moving onto being able to fit into the 14...and there is some really cute stuff there! I cant wait until i can actually wear the skirts and tops that are there...and buy some new ones!

I also tried on my holiday bikinis with my sarongs and sandals and i dont look that horrific :cheers2: i wont be too mortified at the beach now...and i def wont be the largest woman at the pool anymore:hurray:

So i have EXACTLY 2 weeks before we leave to tone up and lose as much as i can (without crash dieting or being stupid abt it cos i dont want it to pile back on while im there!) I reckon i could do 5lbs and a decent bit of toning up! :coolgleamA:
