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

Hey Allie, just stopped by to see how you're doing. The "busy" fairy must have landed on you too, lol. Hope things are ok ~Lisa
 
Hi Lisa - yep the busy fairy has given me a hectic few work projects at the mo! The lentil soup is either homemade or i buy heinz lentil soup. hope everything has calmed down a bit for you!

I havn't lost a single ounce this week :(:( Im so gutted cos iv been trying really hard this week to keep the cals low and exercise. So annoyed and fed up to be honest. It didnt help me to avoid temptation last night atall so i ended up having a gorgeous meal out with friends with lots of sangria and sparkly rose....mmmmmm yum! Totally enjoyed every bit so its back to the restricted cals and exerciss today. Will drop the cals this week so that i am eating less than 1500 every day.

On the plus side tho, I am def thinner! We took lts of fotos last night and there is a real difference in my face shape - no double chin! I actually didnt mind having my pic taken for once!

Will wait til next week to take my measurements as i doubt that there will be much difference now.

Food today (plan of action!)

Lunch - low cal sandwich (no more than 350 cals)

Dinner - Spicy chicken breast, rice, yoghurt 700 cals

Snacks - Kitkat 107, pineapple 100 cals, coffee x 3 100 cals

total cals 1450

Exercise

4 mile walk with dog
30 mins tae bo dvd
toning exercises 20 mins
100 push ups

Well that's the plan anyway!!
 
Hey Allie, sorry you've hit a slow spot. That's exciting about seeing a difference in your pics though and I'm glad you had a wonderful evening out :) When you're going to take a meal off that is definitely the way to do it! Hope the rest of your weekend goes well~Lisa
 
We all do it

I think we all get discouraged at one point or another. I know I hate stepping on the scale because I seem to hold my breathe and I want to close my eyes and hope that maked it all better.

We will get there with a little patience and friends to keep us going..

Good luck and keep the faith, the diet and excercise will work for you, I know it will.

Don't give up girl you've come too far..........:biggrinjester:
 
Had a HELLISH last few weeks!!!!! Dear god i dont do stress well and we have had loads of it recently. My niece was born needing a serious operation so we have been really worried abt her. Thankfully, she has pulled through and seems to be doing really well now :) Also had to get the comp fixed so havnt posted for a while!

Stress or no stress......does not excuse the fact that i am now back up to 220lbs :( I have put on 6 whole pounds in a fortnight! I dont think i have eaten that much but i have been drinking wine and eating snacks rather than meals so obv the cals have got wayyyy out of control. I will def have to get back on track now.

Today is already a write off - dauphinoise potato and steak pie for dinner....how guilty do i feel!?! No more having dinner at my mums house from now on!

Plan for tomorrow

Lunch - Soup and 2 slices bread 350 cals

Dinner - Quron chilli and rice 800 cals

Snacks - 250 cals allowance


Exercise

60 mins cardio
20 mins ST
2 mile walk with dog

And so it begins again.........
 
Ok, was looking at the class timetable for my gym and have decided that I will be going pretty much every day! I pay enough for it so im gonna make that money work for me! I also decided that since i had two weeks off, I will now have two weeks of strict cal control (1400 - 1600 per day), and daily exercise. Hopefully by the end of the 2 weeks I will have lost the 6lbs...well that's the plan....lol

Plan for the next 2 weeks

Monday – Body combat
Aerobics

Tuesday - Tae Bo DVD - 30 mins + 2 mile walk

Wednesday – Body Attack
2 mile walk

Thursday – Body Jam
Body Attack

Friday – Body Combat

Saturday – 4 mile walk
Tae Bo DVD

Sunday - 2 mile walk
yoga 30 mins


NO ALCOHOL OR JUNK FOOD AT ALL. LIMITED SUGAR AND FATS. NO UNHEALTHY BLOODY SNACKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that it wont be easy but i know i can do it for a fortnight and then ease off just a little and continue to exercise 4x per week. I cant let myself start to gain or I will end up back where i started in April.

There is 14 weeks til Christmas...I reckon thats 28 possible pounds to lose! So here goes

Current Weight: 220lbs (15st 10lbs)

Christmas Target: 192lbs (13st 10lbs)
 
Weight loss targets per week! I will post actual weights every week and hopefully they will outdo the targets!

CANCELLED TO BEGIN AGAIN!!! (MY COUNTING SKILLS ARE SERIOUSLY FLAWED I THINK!)

Woohoo Allie....hot pink goals :) I'm afraid to set any that far ahead because I can't even make the ones each month ;/ . I gained 5lbs back the last two weeks my internet has been out :X. Guess it could have been worse but wish I could figure out why I do this to myself at the slightest excuse. Anyway how's stuff goin with you? I've missed talking to everyone for sure...I'm using campus computer right now because I can't stand the dial-up but hopefully they'll have everything fixed Tues *crosses fingers*
 
hey lisa :) i hear you on the weight gain....had an awful few weeks and im finding it sooooo hard to regain control :(:(

I got so sick of being stuck at 214 that i went off the rails for a bit and now when i checked this morning, Im back up at 223 again :( I know what i did wrong and worse than that I KNOWINGLY did it!!!!! I dont understand why i did that. Almost all the weight i lost when i was in hospital has reappeared and Im just sooo annoyed with myself for letting this happen. I have done nothing but eat unhealthy and fattening foods (not to mention the alcohol) for the last few weeks and i dont think i even enjoyed it all that much. So now im miserable, fatter and pissed off with myself

I know that i now need to pick myself up and get on with things...and eat things that are healthy, watch the cal content, etc. i even started a Christmas challenge to try to motivate myself. I just cant see how im ever going to get back to where i should be. I'v given myself extra work now! Dammit:banghead::banghead:

Oh well, it's quite nice today so I think I will get myself out for a long walk with the dog and then do my toning exercises. Im going to start posting my food and exercise everyday as that does help me. If I have to write it down then I think about what Im eating.

So here goes for today!

Lunch - 2 slices toast and jam 300 cals

Dinner - Chilli with rice and yoghurt 800 cals

Snacks - Maltesers 110 cals, yoghurt 100 cals, 3x coffee 100 cals

Total cals - 1410 ish

Exercise today

3 mile walk - i have mapped a new walk so hopefully the weather will be dry this week and i can walk it every day.

Toning exercises - 20 mins

Yet another plan, yet another chance to mess it up. Im off to get walking and make sure that i DONT mess this up again. The thought of putting all that weight on again is horrific. If i can put on 10lbs in three weeks then bythe end of novemebr i will have gained it all back at this rate:banghead: NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
 
Hey Tink! Just dropping by to offer encouragement on your goals. You can do it!!! I know it's hard to get back on the right track but getting through the first day is the hardest...

Allie, I related to everything you just said and feel exactly the same right now. But we can get back on track together and with only a day or so left of this month we can start October fresh :) I always did like October, lol. And just think...when we figure out what the heck is going on and what puts us in this slump in the first place, we can write a book and make millions!
 
Hi Lisa :):)

Im here....just been really low lately and finding things tough. I dont like to post n my diary if im being really moany all the time! Thanks for checking on me tho! How have you been? Have you managed to get back on track? Im still fionding it tough but i managed to lose a bit of the excess so it's all going in the right direction...kinda!

So today I was supposed tp be healthy, blah blah blah....didnt happen. I ate crap and felt crap so im going to write it down (try and shame myself i suppose!)

Breakfast - 50g milk chocolate

Lunch - 2 choc chip cookies, glass milk

Dinner - 2 chicken sandwiches

Snack - 2 rolls and chicken, 140g milk chocolate, 60g crisps

Cals were prob around 3000. Def a diet car wreck!



Plan for tomorro

2 mile walk with dog
Crunches and push ups - 50 each
WII fit - 20 mins aerobics and 20 mins yoga

Lunch - soup and 1 slice bread
Dinner - roast chicken, broccoli and mashed potatoes
Snacks - fruit and coffee

NOTHING ELSE!

Yet another plan but it will damn well work!
 
Hey come post anyway :) We're all off track sometimes but we MISS you when you're not around. And yea I'm doing ok....not perfect but I'm working at it daily. I've been at my max for calories and not always eating healthy but I'm loggin it anyway. I figure I'm learning still...weird not being on a strict diet and I'm still getting used to so much freedom with what I eat. With Atkins one M&M screwed up not just the day but however long you'd be at it...whether it weeks or months. I'm SO glad I don't have to do that anymore, lol. So anyway how's the rest of your life goin, aside from the weight loss? Done anything fun lately?
 
Hi Lisa :)

Decided to take your advice and post anyway! Been having all sorts of fun lately (which is why iv been so bad with the diet!) and been keeping busy. The comedy festival has been on in glasgow so been to lots of gigs that made me giggle! What have you been up to ?

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

Another plan laid to waste...Im a nightmare :(

Managed the 2 mile walk so that was ok, managed the crunches and the press ups too so logged 60 mins exercise for today. The food went wrong tho...not as bad as yesterday but still not the best!

Lunch - chicken mayo baguette 700 cals

Dinner - 2 chicken sandwiches 800 cals

Snacks - 2 kit kats 214 cals, 70g chocolate 400 cals, crisps 300 cals

Total cals - around 2500 which is my maintenance level but not gonna help the diet much. Back to school tomorrow for a week and then im off for a week so im gonna hit the gum big time during that week. See if i can get myself back on track. i just need to get into the rigfht frame of mind i suppose.
 
The comedy festival sounds like a blast :) I've had no time for fun lately ;/. Working and going to school doesn't seem to leave me alot of time lately...I just get done studying for one test and then there's another. But still I'm really enjoying my chem class, when I'm not knee deep trying to play catch up, lol. And wow...I just saw you walked over 2 miles yesterday...an hours worth. I can't even get down the block right now, lol. And hey your food doesn't look too bad either. Just think, even if you're only maintaining, think of all the calories you could have eaten? You're still ahead of it even if you take a break and just don't gain. I'm just happy to see my fav people online...you and a few other of my friends on here all disappeared at once, lol. On a side note, if you sneak over and look at my food today you'll see your not alone :X I ate apple fritter bites today...wow was that a bad idea...mega calories. I seem to do this on days after I survive exams, lol.
