Thread: Journey to.... The Real Me

Hello everyone im a newbie here, but im looking forward to getting to know you all and getting some support and advice along my jouney. I'm so excited to start raking more control of my life!!!


I'm 23 yrs old and desperately want my body to match the person that i feel.
Last year i started losing weight and went from 11st 5lbs which was the heaviest i have ever been. I had never been overweight before and I felt disgusted in myself to let this happen. I am now 129lbs 9st3 so i am so proud of myself so far. !!!
My worry is that i am getting complacent my target weight is 119lbs 8st7lbs and i dont seem to be losing anymore due to the fact i over eat in the evenings. So my theory is if i keep a weight loss journal for anyone and everyone to see then i have some accountabilty for what i am consuming.
I dont expect any replies but i shall be recording my feelings, activities and eating each day hopefully.
I am also using my fitness pass to help me calorie count.
Thanks for reading

Hello

Keeping a diary is a great idea, i definitely find its helping me. My start weight is 11st & I'm hoping to get down to about 9st. What diet do u follow?

P.s. well done on your weight loss so far, you're doing great.

Hi there, diaries are a great way at looking back at your journey. Looking forward to seeing the weight disappear.

Take care xx

I have tried loads of diets but so far calorie counting has been the only way i feel like i really know exactly how much i can eat to lose weight. My fitness pal is fantastic for this!! Nothing is off limits i just fit it into my calorie allowance. I have been too kind to myself lately which is why i havent lost but now i am back on track and hopefully wont be long until i am at my goal.
Thanks for posting in my diary

So i've had my dinner and i had a snack this afternoon which i wasnt planning on but im still ok calorie wise. I've had my 1.5l of water. Just have to not pick at things now i have a hot chocolate left which i plan on enjoying whilst im watching the biggest loser tonight
Hope everyone else is managing to stay on track

I've not been brill had ppl round for tea on fri and made chocolate brownies for after :s highly calorific. Back on the wagon!!! Wi tomorrow.

Goo luck for weigh in tomorrow

Yay lost a pound shocked coz i had fish n chips and 2 creme eggs last night. Back on the wagon this mornin!!!

Just done 40mins on my new exercise bike 400 cals burnt legs feel like jelly lol. Im gonna ache tomorrow!!!

I made real effort and got up earlier than usually 6.30 and burned 150cals up for the day really pleased i think it will make me want to make wiser food choices so that effort was not all for nothing. Am going to burn a few more later

On my exercise bike i burned them lol

Ewwwwww crème eggs!

Ooooooooooo I really want an exercise bike. I'm hoping I can find something small enough I can put under my stairs and get out. Don't really wanna do it in the garage, would love to do it infront of the TV x

I put mine infront of the tv i only bought it a few days ago for 30 pounds a really expensive one measures heart rate distance cals. Def worth getting i got mine on ebay just trying to do at least 200cals a day. Takes me about 20 mins. I got a horrible cramp type pain in the front of my thigh hope i havent pulled anything i have to rest it

I havent been that great today not terribly bad but will do better tomorrow!!!!
