Angel's Fat Loss Diary & Exercise Regime - Page 2 - MiniMins.com

Angel-xo · 14th July, 2009

Past 2 days have been fab exercise wise and food wise. Did Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism workout on sunday. That was a killer and got my heart rate up in no time and also sweaty. But I've decided not to do it anymore, because it's mainly cardio and has no weights involved. It was good yes, but I don't know, just much rather do HIIT/LIIT and brisk walking for cardio and the no more trouble zones/30 day shred for weights/toning. So anyway that was a good day. Yesterday was a good day too. Did 10 mins brisk walking/10 mins HIIT. Then did the no more trouble zones workout. Ahh, need to improve in my planks lol. But it was a good workout. Today is 30 day shred and 10 mins brisk walk/20 mins HIIT.

Oh and I think I'm gonna aim for a lower weight once I get to 145lbs. Depends on whether I'm a size 12 by then or not.

Angel-xo · 15th July, 2009

Didn't manage to do LIIT/HIIT.

I'm stupid lol, I did the workout first whereas I should have done the LIIT first. Oh wells. The 30 day shred workout was better this time, as in I actually felt it, but that was mainly due to the fact that I increased the weights. I just wanted to give it that higher an intensity, but I alternated them when it got too hard. My muscles ache a bit. It's times like these when I feel like it's such a long journey ahead, but then I always say to myself 'you haven't got this way overnight so you're not going to lose it overnight'. Going to increase the LIIT/HIIT today from 10 mins to 20. And do the no more trouble zones workout. Haa, my brothers and sisters are trying to tempt me to go out with them. My brother was like 'just have a cheat day', but no I can't risk having a cheat day, a cheat meal yes, but not a cheat day, right now at least.

Anyway, haven't eaten anything yet :S but will do so soon.

Angel-xo · 15th July, 2009

Oooerrr. Bad day, bad day. And i think i'll get out of this depressed mood once I have it off my chest. So I was planning on exercising. Bad news? Didn't get to it. I can make many excuses and reasons, but none of them are valid enough. Point: I was just too lazy today. Need to learn from this and move on. Next bad news? Had 400 calories over what I set myself [1200]. Looks like I didn't have as much self-control as I thought I did. My brothers and sisters brought home some pizza and I have to regretfully admit that I had about 3 slices.

Also had other stuff during the day and my total calories for today comes up to about 1600-1800. Feel so bad. I was doing so well until now. I could blame my brothers and sisters for bringing it home, but it's all down to me. I should have refused or just turned away. That coupled with the fact that I did no exercise just ruins it for me. But again, I need to move onwards and forward and give it my 100% for tomorrow. I'm in two minds whether I should lower my calorie intake to about 900 and couple that with exercising. Or whether I should do pure exercising. I think I'm gonna lower the cal intake and do an intense session tomorrow hopefully. Fingers crossed. I really hope I don't slip up again and this was a one-off. I'm not gonna beat myself up over it though.

Angel-xo · 18th July, 2009

Update: Indeed I didn't really slip up. But yesterday I did no exercise. :S I did 30 day shred and 20 mins LIIT/HIIT & 10 mins brisk walking on Thursday though. Anyway I was worried about what would happen weight wise, and I lost a further 2 lbs this week.

Gonna do 30 day shred and 20 mins LIIT/HIIT and 10 mins brisk walking today. I haven't been feeling myself lately, as in I just think 'let me give up' but then I stay strong and I know what I'm doing is good for me health wise and body wise, so I'm sticking with it. It makes me feel good too.

Food has been great aswell, though I'm starting to occasionally have a bite of something I shouldn't have, e.g. 5 chips or something. Not great I know.

Right now, although I don't care about the scales much, I'm hoping to be minimum 174lbs by the end of August, though I know I can probably be lower than that. We'll see. I don't think I'll post for a while now. But will update my stats every 2 weeks or so.

Please please please! Don't cut your calories back to below 1000! It was a baseline in the 60's when I was a spring chicken! But now it's no longer recommended as you lose lean tissue. ie muscle! And you need loads of muscle to maintain your metabolism! Obviously I'm biased as I go to Slimming World, BUT we have lots of teenage girls who are losing loads of weight on a diet that means eating healthy stuff and not starving. You never need to be hungry, and you'll shed loads of weight! To exercise you need protein and plenty of it. The other thing is you can eat without feeling guilty! The body image sessions afterwards deal with how you feel about yourself and give you loads of ideas about what to eat, how to deal with temptations, and you get rewards for exercising. Please don't try to do this alone! There's alot of help out there! Unfortunately exercise is only one part of losing weight, the major factor is getting your head right and being sensible about it. If you sort it out now then you'll save yourself a lifetimes anguish! Good luck.

Ha, funnily that sounds like something my mum would say except she's absolutely clueless about calories. Anyways, I've only ever ate less than 1000 the once because I felt so guilty. And I don't think I did any exercise that day so I didn't really see the harm in it for just a day to sort of cancel out with the previous day. Also, I'm someone that's always telling others not to lower their cal intake too much because of increased muscle loss and lower metabolic rate and all that, so I guess it was a bit hypocritical of me, even if it was only for a day. I always try to eat a lot of protein though whenever I can. And I always try to eat above 1000, at least about 1200, because I don't want my body to end up preserving the fat and not losing it.

Today, exercise wise: did 20 mins HIIT/LIIT & 10 mins brisk walking. Didn't do 30 day shred though as had guest over and I don't think it would be too flattering if they saw me working out in the living room lol.

Angel-xo · 26th July, 2009

Okay, quick update: Lost 3lbs this week. Major crisis. I know alot of people on here would be chuffed with such a result, but personally I'm ticked off. Yeh would be happy if it was 3lbs pure fat, but I know it must mean that it was either mainly water loss, or a mixture of fat and muscle loss, which is never a good thing. Arghhh. Good news? Nearly everyone is mentioning how much weight I've lost, and how slimmer I've gone, even though it's only been about 1 to 2 months or so. My sister in law also said how much better my skin has become and how radiant it is lol.

Also, family is very supportive. Everyone in my family is on an exercise regime now haha even though they don't need it. 2 of my brothers are doing the P90x because they want to bulk up and gain these mahusive muscles LOL. My sister wants to tone up her stomach a bit, even though she doesn't need to. She's a size 8, gosh, but she is a bit 'skinny fat' in that she doesn't have much muscle. I want to start the P90x after august/september, the lean approach, well to obviously get lean. Gonna take so much motivation to stick to it for 3 whole months, but we'll see!

Angel-xo · 5th August, 2009

Okay, so update: Bad news? (lol there's always some bad news), I was too damn lazy that I hadn't exercised for the last 5/6 days or so (let's just say a week), I was on my reds and well it just felt too uncomfortable to exercise, and well stuff had happened for the previous 2/3 days, but I'm not even going to make excuses as it was all my fault that I was too lazy to get my big butt up and active. Good'ish sort of news? Lost a further 2lbs somehow. :S But it hasn't made me happy as I know that without the exercise it definately isn't fat that I lost. So just gonna start on a new slate today and go back to how it used to be.

Other update: I decided to lower my weight goal. I don't know why though, but a goal BMI of 24.9 was bording on overweight, so decided to lower it. But like I said and I'll repeat again, when I get to my major goal of a size 12 (or a size 10/12) then I don't really care what my weight is. Just lowering it is kind of motivating me and I know that I wont back out and keep going until I reach that goal. For example if I was to reach my previous goal of 145lbs before I reached my major goal of being a size 12, it might have made me a bit complacent and I would not have tried as hard, whereas now I can sort of keep going I guess. Either way, I'm not too fussed on the weight front, as long as my body follows the fat losing process.

judimac · 12th August, 2009

Angel you worry me! Why would you say that a 2lb weightloss would not be fat and be unhappy about it? I lost 33lbs in the past and didn't do a minutes exercise! It couldn't all be water retention! In fact however much exercise you do it will only add up to 1-2lb per MONTH! 1lb of fat is 3,500 cals! How much exercise is that? So come on! Exercise may speed your weightloss a little, but it's what you eat , or don't eat that makes you lose weight!

Ha, made me smile. I know diet has a major factor in fat loss, but without exercise, it wouldn't be effective if you see what I mean. But yeh you're right.

Angel-xo · 26th August, 2009

Okay haven't been exercising for past few days or so and wont be for the next month or so as I'm fasting due to it being Ramadhan.

Still, im at a good stage now and know I wont go back to my old ways and im still all set on getting to a good size by early 2010 or sometime in 2010.

Oh and was also happy when my friends told me how much slimmer i look and how much weight i lost. I still can't see any significant changes, but these are people that I haven't said anything to about my fitness regime and people i haven't seen since i started, so was a confidence boost.

judimac · 29th August, 2009

It's always good when people start to comment on your weightloss. It means that it's really noticeable. Are you taking photos every month? I have a secret folder on the PC and when I feel fat I look at my before picture and count my chins!) The other thing I do is take my measurements every month.It all helps to prove my shape is changing.
You sound alot happier with yourself! Keep up the good work.

Yeh it's great.

My weight loss success so far has been spreading about like flies. Everyone is asking me what i did lol and little do they know that the secret = exercise and healthy eating.

I took before photos and I sometimes compare myself to them and i can see some change. I'm planning on doing an after photo so i can truly see the difference when i get to goal. & yeh i took measurements beforehand and last month i noticed that I lost a total of about 2 inches from my waist, which is awesome.

I'm kinda upset and feel guilty cos it's Ramadhan now, and I was hoping that i'd eat alot healthier but the food in the house hasn't been that great and i've fallen into the temptation of eating lots of sweety stuff like cookies, chocolate, and other dessert. Although, i only ate about half a cookie [those really big ones from Sainsburys], and whenever i ate chocolate, it was always bites, not the whole thing though that doesn't excuse me. I've also been eating lots of other unhealthy stuff which I don't even wanna talk about. I haven't been exercising at all so far since Ramadhan started as I didn't think i'd have the energy cos i usually have to drink water straight after, but now I'm thinking to start again tomorrow cos I don't want my fitness to decrease. There is however some good news if you can call it that: Obviously with the stuff i've been eating and lack of exercise i haven't lost weight, but I thought that because i was eating lots [& by this i mean lots, to me it seems like 2000+ calories though this could be an exaggeration], I thought i'd be putting on lots of weight, but my weight seems to be steady at 171lbs. I hope now that I can politely decline any junk food offerings and I'll try to eat as less as possible of whatever food my mum makes. I'll also try to exercise tomorrow, though there's like 12 days left of Ramadhan. All i know is that after Ramadhan, hopefully i'll put in 200% effort and hardwork into all my exercises and ensuring i get the junk out of my system [aka hope that it wont affect my healthy eating regime and habits and wont affect my temptation decline success]

Angel-xo · 16th September, 2009

Gained 2 lbs so far. Not bad considering how much i ate haha. Oh and i didn't manage to exercise, really hard to when you're on an empty stomach! I should be starting back up next week around about Tuesday or so as fasting ends on either Sat or Sun. Really looking forward to it!

Can't wait for those inches to drop off.

ma q · 16th September, 2009

You've been doing great - those two wee pounds will soon disappear. it must be so hard if you've been fasting all day not to give into temptation and start eating sugary things, i know what i am like if i've not eaten for a while - just hand me the biscuit tin lol!

Just lowering it is kind of motivating me and I know that I wont back out and keep going until I reach that goal. For example if I was to reach my previous goal of 145lbs before I reached my major goal of being a size 12, it might have made me a bit complacent and I would not have tried as hard, whereas now I can sort of keep going I guess. Either way, I'm not too fussed on the weight front, as long as my body follows the fat losing process.

Why would you say that a 2lb weightloss would not be fat and be unhappy about it? I lost 33lbs in the past and didn't do a minutes exercise! It couldn't all be water retention! In fact however much exercise you do it will only add up to 1-2lb per MONTH! 1lb of fat is 3,500 cals! How much exercise is that? So come on! Exercise may speed your weightloss a little, but it's what you eat , or don't eat that makes you lose weight!

Still, im at a good stage now and know I wont go back to my old ways and im still all set on getting to a good size by early 2010 or sometime in 2010. Oh and was also happy when my friends told me how much slimmer i look and how much weight i lost. I still can't see any significant changes, but these are people that I haven't said anything to about my fitness regime and people i haven't seen since i started, so was a confidence boost.

It means that it's really noticeable. Are you taking photos every month? I have a secret folder on the PC and when I feel fat I look at my before picture and count my chins!) The other thing I do is take my measurements every month.It all helps to prove my shape is changing. You sound alot happier with yourself! Keep up the good work.

Not bad considering how much i ate haha. Oh and i didn't manage to exercise, really hard to when you're on an empty stomach! I should be starting back up next week around about Tuesday or so as fasting ends on either Sat or Sun. Really looking forward to it! Can't wait for those inches to drop off.
