Welcome to my Diary!​

I started a new regiment today. I didn't eat very much and was very proud of myself. I had three and a half bottles of water (16.9 Fl Oz Each) and even went to the gym. I ended up not staying the full hour, only about 45 minutes or so. I did 15 minutes on the Eliptical, the bike and the treadmill. It was a good start. The only thing that REALLY sucked was this really mean guy that yelled at me! :( Like I was supposed to know walkers were restricted to the inside of the track! UGH.

I would post my stats... but it's too embarrasing and depressing for me. :eek:

Anyway... I'm good for now. Dinner is almost ready. I've just taken a shower and I'm good to go.

One small step for my weight, one giant leap for my self-esteem.
 
Hi KoaOkalani,
Welcome to the WLF and GOOD for you for starting a new regiment today!

Remember to not let your calories go too low - you really do need to eat in order to lose weight! If you haven't already checked them out, or are great resources for keeping track of your food.

And don't worry about the guy yelling at you - let it go inone ear and out the other...

As for being embarrassed to post stats, just remember, we've all been in your shoes, and we're here, doing what we're doing to lose the weight. You've taken a great step by starting and you should be PROUD of that!

Alright... since you were nice enough to post yours, I suppose it's only fair to post mine.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get my ticker thing to work so here ya go:
Currently at 350
Goal is 200 (For now)​
 
There ya go..... Just remember being as big boned as I we don't have to just take in like 800 calories to lose weight................ we get an advantage for awhile...........
 
Just another Thursday

So... I went to the gym again today. I even weighed myself. I'm at 325... which is less than I originally thought. I did my usual. 15 on the eliptical and the bike and then 30 on the treadmill. I was proud of myself cause I'm getting back into the five minute thing. It's where I start out at like a speed of 2.5 for five minutes then up it to 3 for five and then back down. It felt good and I kind of liked pushin myself. It felt good.

I didn't do so well on the eating. We had tacos for lunch and I had a whole TWO. Well... actually I crushed the shell and made a little salad. I did have some awesome carrots. Like... four helpings they were so good. For breakfast I had a bowl of cheerios and a bowl of oranges. I did have a piece of cheescake and two pieces of dark chocolate. Then for afternoon snack I had three brownies. They were small. Like really small. LOL. That was pretty much it. I'm also working on a bottle of grape juice.

My fiancee wanted to go to the Olive Garden tonight. I wanted to go but I wanted him to save the money even more! We didn't go. Yay!

It's been 11 days without Soda! WOOHOO
 
Not So Good... Not Too Bad...

Friday I didn't do too bad eating wise. I ate a little more chocolate than I would have liked, but it's okay. I woke up friday morning aching like crazy from the workout the night before. It's weird how, I've done that routine so many times but I've never woken up sore like that. It actually felt good!

I was proud of myself last night too. I went to dinner with my Fiancee before we went to his parent's place for the night and I ordered a salad. A salad and a baked potato. I was so happy.

Today we went to a bridal show. They had a complimentary lunch buffet set up. I took a little bit because I was starving and we shared a bottle of water. Then they had a dessert line with a chocolate fountain. I tried a chocolate covered strawberry and then had a bunch of fruit without it. It tasted so good.

We took last night and today off from the gym, but we're going back tomorrow after church.

Does anyone have any advice on things to do for the tummy... I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
 
Howdy Welcom and goodluck to ya. We are all here
for the same reasons and we will accomplish our goals.
Have a gr8 weekend Tammy:)
 
Arrgh

I skipped the gym today. Mostly because the weather was getting yucky and they are saying not to be on the roads unless it's necesssary. I should have gone but oh well. Tomorrow starts a new week.

Went to the store today and picked up a box of boca burgers, flame grilled, and a whole bunch of frozen veggies. It's the first time I ever had a veggie burger and it was actually pretty good. I'm kind of excited about my new discovery. There will be a lot more boca burgers in my house from now on.
 
I just haven't been able to bring myself to try veggie burgers or hotdogs. Hamburgers should have meat! LOL.

Good for you, though, for finding something healthier that you like!
 
Meat!!

LOL. I thought that too! I was really afraid that it was going to taste like expired beans or something but it really wasn't bad at all. If you like Burger King's burgers then you got nothing to lose! The Flame-Grilled burgers taste just like BK's. ;)

Well... You'll never know unless you just try. Right?
 
I'm REALLY Trying...

... not to cry. I'm sure it's just hormones and the stress of planning my wedding and everything... but I've been on edge for days now.

I've realized that my parents never tell me that I'm pretty. They never say "You look really good today." I mean my mom's commented on my hair and complimented various shirts and sweaters, but I don't think... once... in my life has my mother told me I'm beautiful or pretty. It just kind of hurts when I think back on it. What's going to happen at my wedding? I just wish I got some kind of support.

I have a date with the Gym today when James gets out of work. I'm looking forward to it. I want to go EVERY day but I don't want to over due it. I also know that I'm not going to lose 200 + pounds in 8 months. And if I did I'm sure it's unhealthy. I just want to look decent for my wedding. I just want people to think that, for one day, I'm a princess. Just for one day.

My dad supports me, I think, more than my mom. He asks, every once in a while, if I'm still walking. I haven't been but then I've started going to the gym. I'm hoping to start doing some weights soon too. Get my arms nice and buff and hopefully maximize my workouts. If anyone has any good weight programs I'd really appreciate it. Not that anyone reads this mess of a diary.

Anyway... I gotta spend some time just writing. Maybe I can get rid of all these feelings... or at least push them aside for a while and feel somewhat content.
 
Feeling Much Better

Went to the gym today. It felt good. Did 20 minutes on the eliptical and bikes and then 30 on the treadmill (With an incline) so I'm getting there. Slowly but surely.

Another boca burger tonight! YUM
 
Am I allowed? Not knowing you well or anything, I say you must be beautiful! And you will be queen of your wedding and your groom will think you are!! Welcome to the forum and good luck!!:)
 
It sounds liek you are really dedicated to making this work. Good for you! As for whatever else your parents might, or might not have said, it is far worse when you think they are lying to you.
"Are you losing weight? You LOOK great!" when I had just topped over 400...
Stuff like that hurts WAY more than some simple "not-mentioning it". I used to let other people push me into binges, like I was going to hurt them by overeating and gaining EVEN MORE weight.

The good news for you? At your current size, with a little exercise, you can easily drop weight on a 2000 calorie diet :D I know, I'm right there with you :p
 
You can do this for sure!! you are a beautiful person i am sure and yes i agree, the groom will think you are a queen and thats what matters!!! good luck!
 
Not My Greatest!

Today wasn't my greatest day! Why do brownies have to be so damn yummy? UGH! Not only that but I had fast food tonight and it was not a gym-night. I feel so yucky but oh well. Tomorrow is a new day and today is day 18 without soda!!!!

Thanks for all the advice and support. It feels really good to know I'm not in this alone. In fact... it feels effin' wonderful! Thanks so much!

My mom and I are going dress shopping soon. She said on the phone tonight that she really wants to be a part of it. That made me feel better. I don't know what my problem was but I'm getting over it. I'm tired of hurting.

Well... Here's to another night! Sweet dreams!:p
 
Not Too Bad

I didn't do too bad today. I had an egg muffin sandwich for breakfast (Not a fast food one) and then for lunch I had 5 chicken nuggets and some canteloupe and then LOTS of carrots and rice. Snack wasn't as good. We had brownies (my demise) and ice cream. I only got 2 scoops and some syrup and a banana. Not bad but not great.

I'm not going to the gym tonight. My fiancee isn't feeling well and the weather is horrible. I know... I know... I suck.

Anyway... I gotta make something for dinner. I'm kind of hungry. Salad anyone?
