STS this week, I really want to change I just find it so difficult :(

Today i've eaten porridge for breakfast, tuna and mayonaise sandwich on brown bread and risotto for tea, plus I walked the mile to work. Think that's quite good, i'll probably have a cup of tea and a biscuit later as a treat.

This is my third diary on here in about 1 and half years I think I keep messing up and end up putting on more weight :( Since my last diary ended I started university before dropping out 6 weeks later because of complete lack of confidence. I barely left my room because everyone else seemed so...

So there's no point in exercising then? Thank you for your reply though.

Yesterday I ate 1200 calories (my recommended intake for weight loss) and did 500 calories worth of exercise. I logged it all on myfitnesspal which told me to eat an extra 500 calories to make up for the excercise, but that seems to me to be defeating the purpose?

Thanks guys. Haven't lost that much really, 5.5 pounds since I started just over three weeks ago, but when you are only slightly overweight to start with weight loss is slow :( My size 16 jeans literally won't stay up though which is good, even my size 14 ones are roomy. I seem to have lost...

Lost 3 pounds. Had some really horrible news so probably won't be online for a while. Good luck and keep going everyone.

500 calories burned up using wii fit, makes me feel much better about my naughtiness yesterday =) Porridge for breakfast, bacon sandwich for lunch (without butter and fat cut off) and a small portion of pasta with low fat sauce for dinner. Think that's quite good for a change.

Unfortunately I know it was far too much, I had seconds of it after my first massive plateful. It's my absolute favourite meal, I couldn't resist! But I will be extra good today and go for a jog to make up for it.

Yesterday I had porridge for breakfast, chicken on toasted wheat bread for lunch and far too big a bowl of pasta for tea. I'm not very good at this dieting :(

I feel like I haven't been eating very much the last few days but everyday I have consumed between 1200-1400 calories, which makes me wonder how much I have been eating everyday before the diet =o I'd eat bigger meals and several snacks throughout the day, I think I was pretty much eating...

Little bit of a naughty day but not too bad- danish pastry for breakfast (oops!), chicken and salad on wheat bread for lunch and white fish with salad and a teeny bit of dressing for dinner.

lol I don't blame you, the lamb was very nice, I love cold meat with salad, i'm so glad it's not high in calories because I wouldn't be able to give it up. I find myself thinking about food constantly, is this something that others find goes away with time or will I just need to carry on...

Don't worry, advice is always welcome, that's the reason everyone is here =)

I always have fruit with breakfast and veggies with dinner, I just didn't put them down lol. Thank you though =)

Breakfast- Yoghurt Lunch- Big bowl of soup Dinner- Chicken fillet with low fat sauce

Hey Pink! You've done so well while i've been gone, makes me feel very ashamed and frustrated that I gave up. I'm going to read History at York which is exciting =) I don't know how you run up the stairs more than once! I do tend to bounce up and down then but i'm always out of breath after.

You look amazing in your picture! Such a shame you couldn't keep the dress, at least you have the photos to show how much progress you have made

Breakfast- Yoghurt Lunch- Soup with cold lamb and salad(bit odd but trying to use up leftovers) Dinner- WW meal Wanted to go for a walk but it started raining, I suppose I shouldn't really let that stop me! I have decided to just take this one day at a time because it's incredibly daunting...

Thanks guys =) Okay, I weighed myself and i'm 167 pounds, so my ultimate goal is to lose 37 pounds by September, eek! To help me get there I have these mini goals that I want to have achieved by the end of April: 1. Get into the healthy BMI category 2. Fit comfortably into my size 14 jeans 3...

I started a diary on here last year but it all went kaput as diets often do =( However I start university in a few months and i'm determined to be a size 10 by then (september). I'm currently a 14-16 so need to get working on it. Last time I wasn't very good about writing regularly so i'm going...

I got the job and the results I wanted :) Consumed about 2000000000 calories worth of alcohol and pizza in celebration though the last few days =/

Thanks guys :) I'm taking it easy today because tomorrow is a-level results day and i have a job interview so i'm a huge ball of nerves and dieting is the last thing on my mind. I did go for a longish walk though at least.

Had a big portion of one of my low-fat recipes (chicken and prawns in tomato sauce) so estimating that was around 600-800 calories, quite a lot but I haven't eaten very much today and i'm hitting the wii fit again before bedtime.

Glad you like it guys, let me know if you make any and what you think. It's going alright, haven't weighed myself in ages, I want to weigh myself after a few weeks so that i'll see a big loss and that will keep me motivated I hope. So far today I have consumed 364 calories from breakfast, lunch...

low calorie brownie recipe!! Sorry guys, my laptop died! Update time then, I gave up the GI diet because it was too restrictive and I felt I would lose willpower, so i'm back to normal calorie counting. 1200-1400 calories a day with at least 400 calories burnt through exercise. Also I thought I...

Thanks :) How is your weight loss going minusfour? If you don't mind me asking of course. I finally decided to weigh myself and it wasn't as bad as I thought, I only put on 3 pounds since postponing my diet so I can shift that pretty quickly fingers crossed.

wow well done!! i bet you look fantastic

yesterday: breakfast- wheatabix lunch- fruit salad dinner- vegetarian mince with vegetables today: breakfast- kelloggs cornflakes lunch- tuna sandwich i'm going to frankie and bennys for dinner because it's my boyfriends birthday, i'm hoping there is salad or something on the menu. I was...

aw thanks :) Yeah french food is so good, I just thought screw it, i've put on weight already so i'll start again when I get home. But I am being strict again now and trying to eat a low GI diet.

Baaaack! Paris was great, I ate too much but there was tons of walking so it wasn't tooo bad. Back on the wagon properly now though. How has everyone been?

I'm just too nervous to open them, I don't want to know! I've just done my A2 levels so finished school forever now, I want to go to university but i'm on a gap year right now, I was thinking of 6 months working then 6 months travelling but I don't know if the travelling will happen because it's...

I think it's better not to go to the gym everyday, if you get too exhausted by it you could lose motivation and your body needs time to recuperate. Just my two cents. I was going to use my fitness pal but I heard that it always tells you that you need 1200 calories regardless of what you...

It's nervewracking so I try not to think about it, I don't really want my results, I will probably wait hours to open them after I collect them. I could do, his mum is a veggie who is on a pre-wedding diet so when I have dinner there it's usually very healthy but his idea of lunch is a...

Thanks guys :) I get my results on the 19th August, scary times =/ Last night dinner: Sausage and vegetables Breakfast: Half a blueberry muffin Lunch: A slice of pizza and half a blueberry muffin Not very healthy I know but I was at the boyfriends so choice was limited

Back! And bigger than ever =( I can't bear to weigh myself but I can see and feel in my clothes that I have put on more than I lost. Ah well, restart today! It's been good in a way because i felt so much better when I was eating healthily and having an occasional naughty treat rather than eating...

Thanks Pink :) I'm supposed to be revising but I just had to come on here to share something I saw which made me really cross. There was this weight loss program about brides losing weight before their wedding and one of them got weighed by the two trainers and when her result came up they were...

Maybe that was it. I had my toughest exam yesterday morning and my boyfriend came over afterwards to cheer me up so that was nice :) I have another 11 days until my exams are finished so I think i'm going to postpone the diet and just try to eat healthily and maintain my weight as I need the...

Feel better now and managed to eat some dinner. Breakfast- Wheat biscuit with milk Lunch- weightwatchers chocolate slice Dinner- weightwatchers sweet and sour rice snacks- light choices biscuits can only guess at the calories but i know i haven't gone over 1400

CONGRATULUATIONS!!!!!!!!! That's amazing! :) You will be such a beautiful bride with all the progress you've been making.

They are very good at putting a smile on your face, however I haven't been able to spend that much time with them yet because of revising. I don't know what's wrong with me this morning, I can't eat properly. I had breakfast fine and I went to have a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich for lunch like...

Don't worry everyone has times like that, my brain is very good at convincing me that i'm the one exception to the rule and dieting won't make me any smaller so there's no point trying, you just have to try and ignore it. I hope you get back on track easily, good luck :)

Thanks Pink :) Weighed in today and lost 2 pounds so i'm pretty happy with that, after these exams are done hopefully I will have time for alot more exercise and will see bigger losses.

Thanks Rigby :) I do feel better now, I was so tired and I needed some energy. The black one is called Kit and the other is Pippa :)

Breakfast- wheat biscuit Lunch- light choices chow mein snack pot snacks- wholegrain crackers and weightwatchers chocolate slice dinner- two massive helpings of spaghetti bolagnaise......... okay, not super healthy today, but revision was really getting my down and I was starving! I'll be good...

I've been losing for about two weeks and it seems like the fat around my waist is going first as my jeans are getting really baggy but all my tops are the same. Where does everyone else lose weight first? I'm really looking forward to my lower half slimming down but apparantly that's always last?

I'm totally in awe of how much exercise you do, i'd die!

Dinner- Light choices quiche with a teeny tiny bit of mashed potato snack- slimfast chocolate bar I've eaten quite a lot today but haven't gone over 1500 calories, it's amazing how much you can eat and still lose weight.

Here they are: http://i48.tinypic.com/3480hfp.jpg

Thanks minusfour, i'm sorry to hear about your family troubles. Breakfast- Wheat biscuit with a little milk (guesstimating 150 calories) Lunch- Chicken and mushroom snackpot (250 calories) Snacks- Wholgrain crackers (77 calories) and apple crumble slice (90 calories) In a much better mood...

It could be muscle weight from all the swimming you're doing! We can all see how hard you're working and there is no way you have gained fat this week. Hold on until next week and you will see a loss i'm sure.

Bad day today, really don't get on well with my family, or rather with my dad and older sister, and I feel like i'm being yelled at constantly for something =( My exams went quite badly first time round and my dad yelled and said i hadn't worked hard enough and just now I was printing off some...

Hmm maybe, I do find wheat biscuits for breakfast very filling though and I don't know how to make more of my lunch without making the calories go up too much =/ Been looking at so many summer clothes online recently, in one way it's really depressing because I can't wear any of them but also...

Hopefully i'm going to university in september 2011. I have a problem with my wrist that means I get a lot of pain when I write and it's very slow-going but my college wouldn't give a diagnostic special requirements test until this february so I flunked my as levels completely and am retaking...

Thanks :) I need all the luck I can get.

Thanks Rigby :) I got them from tescos and they are so gorgeously yummy it's hard to just eat one!

Dinner- ham and mushroom taglietelle I should really stop making ready meals and start cooking, but revision takes too much time!

Thanks =) Fourth exam today, three more to go =( Totally knackered. breakfast- one wheat biscuit with a little bit of milk lunch- tuna and sweetcorn sandwich snack- weightwatchers apple crumble slice

Thank you :) When I started revising I had like a massive bag of junk food to get my through it and I finished it all off in about a week! But I don't want to do that now, I want pretty clothes more than I want chocolate, at the moment anyway! Dinner- Weight watchers sausages and swede and...

I don't think I have ever tried wholemeal pasta, I will get some in =) Breakfast- Yoghurt Lunch- Chicken, mayo and sweetcorn sandwich with brown bread Snack- One wholegrain cracker

You can do it :) You're working so hard, it's very admirable.

Well I hope it was okay because I had it, oh how i've missed carbs. Breakfast- Summer fruits bar Lunch- Tuna and Sweetcorn sandwich Dinner- Pasta with light dolmio sauce Snacks- 4 wholegrain crackers

Will it be alright for me to have a small portion of pasta for dinner? Craving it like mad with pesto.

So tired and muscles are achy from bending over my laptop to revise all the time =( There's a big tub of haagen das in the freezer taunting me!

It's just a one off, and that many calories isn't sooo bad. Weightwatchers do some great chocolatey products if you are craving it, I think I saw weightwatchers chocolate eclairs at tescos! Not totally low calorie obviously but good for a treat now and then that doesn't ruin your diet.

My mum came to my rescue and made me a salad with some prawns and smoked salmon and lots of low fat thousand island dressing, it was really nice.

You look really pretty =)

Yum thanks for that, i'm going to be experimenting with some recipes from tomorrow so i'll post any sucessful ones here.

I think I ate too much out of boredom and because I love food, I have such a sweet tooth. I hate exercise so that added to it.

That's such a good way of looking at it! :) Good luck on your 2 stone by september, i'm sure you can do it!

Just read the last couple of pages, congratulations :)

Fingers crossed everything works out for you

Exams are rubbish, I feel your pain since I have four ahead as well. Good luck with them :)

That must have been really tough but it doesn't take away from your achievement and you are still on the right course, at least you found out now rather than later. Keep going and good luck :)

=o seriously? i'm so sick of yoghurt, coco pops it is tomorrow!

Thanks =) Yoghurt for breakfast and wholegrain pitta with tuna for lunch, have nothing nice in for dinner so will have to be a big bowl of salad =(

I deleted my weigh-in post, I think I got my original weight all wrong so i'm starting again from this week and have edited my info/ticker accordingly =)

Woo well done! Really pleased for you you've done amazingly

Weightwatchers lasagne for dinner and i've had two light choices biscuits today

It's a beautiful dress, i'm sure you look lovely in it =) Don't worry about the gain, it is probably due to your totm

Oh that must be so hard to resist, when i'm in college I walk through asda to get my lunch and i'm always being tempted by deals like two creamcakes for £1, you can get two big bags of cookies for £1.50, it's torture!

Hope you are having a great time =)

Ooh treat of the week sounds good, when i'm free of exams and can do some exercise I might be able to get away with that. Sorry about your car, gym sounds great though =)

Hey welcome and good luck =)

I have the same weight as you to lose, keep going it will be so worth it in the end!

Aw a puppy, so cute! I hope the diet is still going well

Thanks guys, my boyfriend ate a lot of it so hopefully I didn't eat too much, def went over my daily limit but I don't think I went too over the top. Fingers crossed it doesn't have too much impact.

Yoghurt for breakfast and half a veggie stir-fry for lunch, i'm back on track!

I totally caved in and ate loads of chinese =/ oh well, everyone has wobbles right? I will be extra strict today to make up for it!

I promised my boyfriend we could have chinese takeaway tonight, if I just order soup and plain boiled rice and add some chunks of chicken to it will that be alright? From breakfast and lunch i've consumed about 500 calories so I don't really want to eat more than 900 calories tonight and def...

Grapefruit for breakfast to try and make a change from yoghurt, but realised I really don't like it! So i'll try something else tomorrow. TOTM arrived yesterday so now don't know how reliable my start weight was or how reliable my weight loss will be when i weigh in, i'll probably get a clearer...

My last exam is June 30th and after that i'm not off to university until september next year so I have a whole 14 months to fill! Looks like i'll have to get a full time job, eek!

Breakfast- Yoghurt, Lunch- Tuna Sandwich, Dinner- Salmon with Cabbage and Leek, Snack- Low calorie crackers with tuna. I have a very fishy diet clearly

I had to do 5000 words for my extended project qualification (equivalent to the first year of a levels) and it took me ages! It's a great feeling when you finish though, can't imagine having to write as much as a dissertations worth

Thanks everyone you're all really sweet =) Okay, i'm going to follow advice and make myself a mini goal to help myself along, which is to get back into my size 14 jeans, i'm in size 16 now.

Sounds interesting, I might try that!

Woo! =) Don't be disappointed about not getting the 3lb loss, a loss is a loss and the nurse's reaction shows how wonderfully you're doing

Piri Piri chicken for dinner but snacked a little of everyone elses dinner from the pan, whoops, this always happens. I feel like losing weight is impossible.

Same breakfast and lunch as yesterday, was in too much of a rush to do anything else. Had two snacks this afternoon which was a bit naughty but one was a light choices biscuit and then I had two little low calorie crackers with tuna on, it was bad but I was hungry! I'm getting all paranoid...

I have had the juice, i prefer it in a smoothie though. I'm studying a-levels, history, english and psychology, have done 3 of 7 exams so far! My sister is older and a pain in the backside lol Thanks :)

I'm not making it, I cheated lol, it's a light choices meal from tesco. I will do proper cooking soon but once revision is all done and dusted.

Salmon and veg for tea, yum! Bought lots of lovely low fat foods today so will look forward to trying them soon, low calorie biccies and some piri piri chicken tomorrow!

36G =o my chest is tiny already and I guess it'll shrink more if I actually manage to lose some weight, you lucky thing!

Thanks guys =) Pink, i get goji berries in little bags at tescos, they are so worth a try. I've been pretty good so far today, low fat yoghurt for breakfast and a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich for lunch (it had mayo in it but was brown bread so hopefully that's okay!)

no they really are nice, try some! or get the goji berry innocent smoothie, it's 51 calories per 100ml but it's made purely of fruit with no additional ingredients and it's so tasty and refreshing :)

shrivelled up berries, they are so yum

A handful of dried goji berries =)

yeah that makes sense, thanks :) i'm starving and i still have 400 calories left on my limit, i may have a little snack.

Yeah- sarah's weightloss diary. I'm only on day 1 so not bored yet obviously but the soup I bought for dinner today was gross, at least if I cook my own meals I can make sure I like them.

You're doing so well, very inspirational :) i might try some recipes too rather than ready meals and pittas which i had planned.

Right, calmed down now! Glad I didn't give in and eat junk :) The soup for dinner was absolutely disgusting so after one spoonful I switched to salad. So breakfast was: granola oats with semi-skimmed milk lunch: light choices prawn and garlic linguine dinner: lots of lovely green salad with...

It's really not fair to hit a big challenge on the first day =( My sister is being a real cow, i'm sitting there trying to revise and I can hear her slagging me off, saying I shouldn't be entitled to extra time and that I shouldn't be allowed to retake exams, that I never make an effort and...

thanks guys :) i'm not on any paticular diet, just eating between 1300-1400 calories a day and doing some work on the wii fit.

I have had so many failed attempts at dieting so i'm hoping that some online support and a place to write down my feelings and progress will help, along with my food diary. Firstly I think I need to write down the reasons why I want to lose the weight. 1) I'm 5ft 7 and weigh just over 12 stone...

Thanks to both of you for your advice, i'll take it easy during my exams but i'm stilll going to do my best to eat healthily :) I know that my goal weight is quite low, i'm aiming to be a size 8/10 but I don't know what weight that would be so I just took a guess, i'll stop earlier than 44...

Hi, i'm new and I don't know how to start on losing weight. I don't have enough money to join a gym plus exams at the moment mean exercise time is at a minimum, though that will change in a month. I'm aiming to lose 44 pounds, where do I begin? Thanks to anyone who can help :)

Hey everyone, I'm 18 and doing my a-levels currently, been meaning to lose weight for a while but was spurred on to do it today when I realised i've gained a stone in three months :( I'm 5ft 7 inches and weigh in at 169 pounds so really need to shift some fat! Having failed many times before I...
