V33's Diary!!Main Goal Reached!!

I'm starting this not so much as a daily update but more as a place to ramble on
Going to be updating this along with my before/inbetween/after thread http://weight-loss.fitness.com/before-after-between/13320-before-almost-there.html and hopefully you lot will help spur me on.

Started 217lbs aiming for 156, (was 160 but lowered it after measuring my frame size)

Last time i weighed in was monday and i was 172, aiming for 168 by saturday for when i go on holiday.
I'm going to watch what i eat and be swimming/dancing maybe a bit of jogging all quite a lot, but after a not so good start to the year i plan on getting completley sloshed, this i fear may lead to some gain(not too much i hope specially as i will be exercising a lot to compensate) then i want to reach my ultimate goal by my 19th birthday.

My relationship of 3 years ended at the begining of the year, this sent me into lots of exercise as a form of escapism (don't drink usually when at home as im a poor student)
After the initial weight loss i realised that i really did need to lose weight, also there is a history of heart problems in my family and my father recently became diabetic.
The overall reason though i feel is out of vanity, i have slipped into that way of thinking of ''why would anybody want me, im not exactly attractive'' so want to reach a body that i feel good looking in and that somebody might want.

Thanks for reading this blather, i shall keep you updated, wiegh in on monday

Whoo!

Whohooo, weigh in today - came in at 170lbs which means im bang on target for my goal on saturday - feel extra good about it as been /feeling/ heavy and was dreading that i might of put on, but nope
Roll off (ba dum tsh) next week 168 here i come!

Well done

It's not vanity really - you'd be in a high risk category due to your family heritage, so if you can be active and maintain a healthy weight through healthy eating until old age, you'll keep away from diabetes and cardiovascular problems!

Anyway nothing wrong with vanity - when I started losing weight, it was of course because I didn;t think I looked good, but also because I was unhealthy and unfit, and didnt want to have health problems later on in life. Now that I've reached a healthy weight and body fat%, yes it is because I want to look good, but what's wrong with looking and feeling good?

You're doing so well

I say vanity because even at nearly 220lbs i was still reasonably fit, which made me feel like a gymnast in a fat suit

Well, this morning i got on the scales as it was my last chance to get on the scales in that same spot i've been using all along and i wont be able to have a weigh in monday as im on holiday.

Being a half weekly weigh i was pretty much expecting no loss or maybe slight gain - but no, 2lbs lost and i hit my first target weight!!!

My target when i started was always 12stone or 168lbs, this has changed as i feel i want to lose more but the goal always stuck as the first target for holiday, which is this saturday - and i've done it, half a week early
Its a great feeling to reach it after working so hard and is great inspiration for the last 12 lbs.

This chapter is now finished, i will be exercising lots and keeping to the eating on holiday, but as far as i'm concerned its finished for now and i will resume when i get back

Well, had a great week, got very, very drunk - but did eat reasonably well and got plenty of exercise aswell.

Inbetween homes at the moment so no consistent measuring of weight, i shalnt start weighing again till i've moved.

This week been getting back into it, getting exercise and eating well, have decided that i want to keep on with it and may set my final target weight lower.

Here we go, back on the wagon!
