Fat treats that

I've completely let go for the past week or 2.. I don't know. Had so much work to do, waking up stressed and lazy, spending all night doing work and eating anything around, snacking, take away. Even walking home from uni at midnight and getting burger and chips filled with fat condiments on the...

Wow these water recommendations are always changing.. Hard to keep up. Someone posted a link in another thread like water is not even needed, drink coffee instead. This 1.2 litres thing seems much easier though, I seem to finish a 500ml bottle in one go and just forget about it until the end of...

At the moment my goal is a range of under 110lbs but not too skinny, only using 110 as that's what I remember being at some point last year. But this water is working like a charm.. Although am eating a bit more now, and I still haven't been able to finish the whole 2L yet, am back at my 115...

More grueling ways..

Weird because usually..

I usually do weigh everyday when I wake up, same attire, same place. I understand it going up a bit some days, it's just that it's been going up steadily everyday for a week now.. I guess I'll move my limit up to 1lb a week and make sure I drink 2L of water a day, and see how I do in a weeks...

My bmi is low, between 20 and 21. But it's like most my fat is accumulated in certain areas, so I don't really trust BMI. I know exercise is meant to work better than diet here, but I got to much less than I am now on only a diet before, still in a healthy range too. Am just trying to get back...

It's not that I exercise a lot, I believe that my FitBit gives me the overall burn, BMR + activity, I tried 1000 less than that so I could lose 2lb a week, and I try my best to be more active so I can reach a healthy stage at or above my BMR while still burning enough for a loss. My bottles of...

I've been drinking at least a bottle of water a day, but still no luck, even eating less and moving more. Yesterday my Fitbit said I burned 2160 kcal, I ate 1060kcal, but still. +0.2lbs :(

Thank you :)

Eat something else, maybe. It's easier to crave when you're hungry, but I find if I eat something allowed for my diet instead, I feel really good afterwards, so proud that I didn't succumb to my craving that I don't want any anymore.

No personal experience there, but I know a bunch of people who only went to the gym when they joined with a friend or sibling. So maybe if you found someone to go with, you could remind and motivate eachother for it. As for the cheat meal, I agree with above about it being counterproductive...

If I stop a diet for even a meal, am never getting back on it, craving or not. These days although I haven't been eating overly much, I can't get the accurate measure of calories, which is making me lose grip of my diet, and am slowly just forgetting all about it. All because of cravings! But no...

Hm I'll try drinking a lot of water today and see how it goes.. Don't think I ate anything too salty though, had some mexican food, didn't taste salty.. but then I don't really know much about these stuff. Thanks for the advice :)

I've been losing weight nicely last week, from my "official" weigh in date on Tuesday till Friday I'd lost 2 lbs, stayed the same on Saturday. Ate out that day, couldn't count everything, but didn't go too much over my daily limit. Gained 1lbs that day. Sunday I pigged out on some chips with...

Tricks: MyFitnessPal. I think the healthy option is to lose 2lbs a week, and over time you're stone will be gone. Might take a while, but won't come back so easily. Check MyFitnessPal or any calorie calculator online and it should tell you how much you should eat everyday to lose what you need...

Bit late to the party but 21 here, nearly 22! Done a year long diet nearly 2 years ago and lost well over 30lbs. Now am trying to get back to that weight.. Started nearly 2 weeks ago, did well at first but since 2 days ago, been kinda failing :(

Sweet taste, I guess. I don't actually drink much, I generally dislike carbonated drinks, but a diet pepsi excites me as redbull would, so sometimes I want it to keep me awake and energised when I have too much coursework. Other than that, I'm usually happy to give it up.

I caved. Yesterday. Up all night doing work, needed something to keep me awake.. And it was buy 1 get 1 free. Now I feel bad about it and have a second one I don't know if I can drink or not..

I've been wondering the same thing, pepsi diet says about 2 calories per bottle I think. Find it hard to believe that it would affect the diet that little.

I bought a long white hoodie/jacket that I really liked, but it was simply too tight and unflattering. I found it again after I started dieting and it was too loose.. Never really fit properly but still made me happy =]

Well this forum has convinced me to try exercise. Not that I started yet, but am going for an aqua circuit class and some swimming today, and gonna do some swimming after my lesson tomorrow too... Annnnd I just ordered a FitBit :D Hopefully that will get me exercising :) Also I lost nearly 2lbs...

If I break my diet for a day, it's near impossible to get back on it, especially when am so close to the end. But ya I might do the obsessive part. Won't be very accurate but I'll have to just leave a lot of calories for it.. x

Speghatti with tuna, onions, tomato and basil sauce topped with pepper and a small drizzle of lime juice. Was yummy. 512kcals. Was saving my calories for a doner kebab but the mister never came home to split it with me :(

Today is the day am saving all my calories for half a doner kebab. Googling it, one place says a doner kebab has 2000kcal. Another says 1000kcal. Some say 500 to 1500. I've no idea what to believe.. I can weigh how much I eat, since sizes may differ in shops, but still wouldn't know what to...

Calorie Counting. But like I say, it doesn't work for everyone. Many of my friends and family see the weight I lost and wanna do it, some have succeeded but most sadly didn't stick to it, one made little progress and decided to move to WW, which is similar but suited her taste a bit more. But...

I think you should start off reading about all that's available until you find one you think you can do, rather than just picking one. At first I tried many diets that promised fast weight loss but none worked for me, even ones I saw work for others, I just couldn't stick to them. When I read...

Size 6, no more no less. But for me it's more dress type than dress size, my goal is to wear really tight tops and look good in them :)

Woo! That's good, as long as you don't lose sight of the diet, your determination is very inspiring :)

Ya I know, it's just frustrating. People that know me enough know I have fat to lose, but those that don't.. Just because I hide it doesn't mean it's not there. What could they possibly gain making me feel silly about myself.

That's true. It's when I read you saying you were downhearted, I've read about a lot of people that start binging when they see they've gained or not lost enough, they lose hope in their diets. That's why I think more important than being true with the weight, is to maintain your state of mind.

You can find articles about everything these days.. You never know which to believe. But as much as I dislike water in comparison to other tastier juices, I still think it's better for you than everything else, from stories I heard really. OH was telling me about a friend of his that started...

That first link doesn't work :( I'll read the second later. Thank you :) I've been thinking about dancing too, I don't dance, but I got some dancing game on the xbox kinect. It's got a lot of movement and really tires me out, so am hoping that will count as exercise too.. At least for the...

I struggle to drink water too, but a while ago I bought like 6 or 8 bottles of water, for a week or 2, I drank a lot. As we finished bottles they'd be filled up and into the fridge again, and I would drink some more. Until the bottles went missing :( I guess what I'm saying is, finding bottles...

Originally, going to college, and realising I spent my school life with no self esteem. Realising I don't wanna waste my youth hating my body until it's too late to really enjoy it. That got me thinking about dieting a lot. But it was actually something I read after that which got me on a diet...

That's the spirit! You know, one week in and am all into this like it's nothing. I've gotten used to it, I don't crave chips and kebabs anymore, I thought it would take much longer to get used to it, but then when I fail, I never get past the first two days :) Being on this forum has helped...

What saddens me is when I don't get support for my diet. I'm happy doing it alone, but I'd like respect for my decision. When friends or family or anyone am talking to berates me, looks at me like am crazy, saying I don't need to diet. I don't care about weight or bmi all I care about is being...

Stick with the lowest one if it makes you happier. As long as you can monitor your loss and gain, does it really matter? Weight is just a number after all, and which number is right doesn't change your body. Is just what I think.

If you're bad at cooking, they kinda taste like water.

I allow myself anything as long as I can count it. The best thing I find about calorie counting is that I eat literally anything and yes, still lose weight as long as am on my limit. There are things am weary about, like diet pepsi, think it said it's under 1 kcal, but I know that fizzy drinks...

Think in 3 months time. Either you gained it all back and you're in square one, starting all over again, or you lost another 21lbs, a total of 42lbs :) That always helps me.

Since moving out and getting my own place no crisps, chocolate, wafers, biscuits, deserts or any of the sort enter my house. Sometimes the mister "buys me" chocolate, and that's the only thing I can't say no to. Luckily for me, he finishes it before I eat too much. I never even glance at...

I think it's probably just that my Calorie Counting diet works for me. If I want a cake, rather than "I can't" it's "I'll have some tomorrow" and still lose weight. If I can't eat anything more that day, it's not "I have to suffer hunger to lose weight" it's "I have all my calories back...

And about the boyfriend, I too worry a lot that he'll lose interest, that my looks will not be up to par anymore. But he always says am still the most beautiful girl he's ever seen, and I always will be regardless of weight, because he loves me for me, not just my looks. Even that he likes girls...

I used to think a lot about where I would've been had I stuck to my diet first time, in September I hoped I'd gotten back to a diet during holiday, I wouldn't have gained so much for my last year of uni, in January I hope'd I'd started a diet before winter, I'd be good for spring. Until I...

Split a kinder easter egg with the mister, gave him half of my half after too but it was so good. Mummy bought me 2 as well, keeping them till I go visit next.. Gonna be hard holding back..

Actually I find that not the case, the salad last night was big, both of us couldn't finish it. Yet a small handful of chips next to it was about 150 calories, which I couldn't even enjoy without sauces. I do count the calories, but it just goes to show the difference in the foods, and which are...

The difference with a diet, is it's easier to not do something than to do something. If I crave food I'll distract myself, I'll simply not leave my bed, I'll smoke. There is no effort to diet, simply resisting temptation (on a side note, that's why calorie counting is the only thing that works...

I count everything, but I eat 1000kcal instead of 1200kcal, so I can ignore little things, like a sip of a drink or dipping one chip in a sauce. But any more than that I count. The mister made a big salad yesterday, came up to about 119kcal with only the veggies.. Was shocking, everything...

"The Journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step" Works for everything.

I guess it's about the motivation for it, I've gotten gym membership twice before, and never went. I bought an xbox with kinect for exercise, but never use it. Bought a bike few weeks ago, used it 2 days and gave it away. I start anything with motivation but then just leave it, becomes I'll do...

Not a real quote, but what started me dieting the first time and motivated me all the way through it was something I read in Yahoo Answers. "You just have to decide what you care about more, food or your body" Or something like that.

I guess I'll look at some exercise I can get into, and see how that goes. It's just much easier to diet than to exercise :(

Oh swear down. Never noticed that, though I do add some food I eat myself and I only add the calories so shoulda thought of that. But then I hardly eat fruits and never vegs, and I guess my food is never healthy so I that seemed believable. Kinda dissapointed though.. I've always been known as...

But going at 1.8 won't get me my 10lbs by end of April. I know am kinda small, but got my and OH's birthdays in May, wanna go back to last years weight! and then by June I want a body to take to the beach, finally. Guess I'll just have to try harder, wanna end it all in these months :) x

Oh my days yes! Asian. Well Arab, but that's from Asia too? That seems to explain so much to me, why I just can't seem to agree with my BMI.. Sad though, guess my body shape is just what's messing it up :(

I don't wanna get underweight, of course I'll stop if I get go a point where am nearing underweight. All I really want is a body am not ashamed of. Sad part is I do. The worst part is how weird and out of place it looks.. my body looks like a bunch of sticks on a pumpkin. I read a lot about...

In other news, my fitness pal has brought to my attention how bad I eat. Last week, my Vitamin A and C intake were under 10% with very low calcium too. It was only when I had a mango that I was able to pump them up a bit. Think I'll be incorporating more fruits into my diet too.

Hmm.. I've never really had a way with it as long as I stayed within my limits, days I'd save a lot till the end, days I'd eat in small amounts, and I lost weight regardless. But I'm excited to try other ways about it, now that I know there are some. You never know, hoping that little...

But like I said, it's only my feet, and my arms, still got fat tummy, thighs, and of course, the lovehandles that simply will not go away. A body fat calculator shows I still have much to lose.. Yet it seems to go from unwanted places faster than anywhere I'd like it go from :(

I always thought it doesn't matter how I spend my calories, as long as I don't go over in a day. But I'll try it your way, might work better :)

I find that when I eat breakfast, I get hungrier later. I can go all day without eating, but once I eat I get hungry the rest of the day. Any idea why that is? Am I eating the wrong breakfasts? But it's the same when I have a full fried breakfast, pancakes or even cereal..

That sad moment when you gain a bit of weight on a diet :( That was yesterday. That disappointing moment when your the same as you were 2 days ago. That's today. But am getting a lot more used to the diet. Lost 2lbs since last Tuesday, and hoping to take off at least another 0.5lbs by tomorrow...

I made a reply on another thread, and it reminded me of this issue I had. Last time I dieted I reached around 110lbs, and stayed around that area, give our take a few pounds. A lot of people said I was too skinny, regardless I liked my thin arms, my just slightly boney shoulders, my legs. My...

My face, in general. I don't particularly like any of my facial features specifically, but I like how it all goes together. And my hair of course, Woo for curly hair. Dislike would be my f***ing atrocious tummy, also known as FAT. And lovehandles. People make fun of my feet, with good reason...

Eating slowly is the hardest thing for me, am always the first one to finish any meal by miles, it's like am racing. It's how I enjoy food. The only thing I found slowed me down was playing a game while eating. It kept my attention for a short while between each bite. I realise now, my brother...

Tea and Special K.. Yummmy =]

Oh wow, was hoping it would end before that lol during my first diet, after a while I wasn't really fazed with food. I used to sit in the kitchen on my laptop and everyone could eat beside me and I wouldn't give it a second look. Rather than thinking how good that must taste, I would simply...

There was a book read once, written by a gay Vietnamese(I think) guy telling of his life, and the struggles and life of a homosexual living in his country, until he moved to america, and some of the relationships he had after that. I enjoyed it greatly, shame I cannot remember the name of it or...

Sad how much food I thought was good, turns out much worse.. Sad how I ate less than my limit yesterday but I didn't lose anything. But oh well at least I haven't gained any yet. Getting to that stage where the excitement of starting a diet has gone, and I just wanna eat something fat till am...

30g Special K with berries and 125ml Skimmed milk [173 kcal] Oh so good, but never enough. I only stop because I know I can have another a few hours later :)

I weigh myself everyday before I eat anything. I can never not, even when am terrified that I've gained weight. The curiosity would kill me lol it becomes the most exciting part of the day.

Did not know that lol learn something new. Went ok though, I'm down by 0.6lbs from yesterday so that's good. And I got the fitness pal app, seems very useful :) Says to eat 1200kcal, but I'll stick to 1000 since I hardly move in a day.

As for my diary, well yesterday was a mess. I bought a measuring scale , didn't eat until the evening when I had a bowl of Special K, 173Kcal, still got 827 left, all is good. Until dinner came around. Thought I'd treat myself to some speghatti 125g = 453kcal. I made 90 grams, with 71Kcal of...

I know that's no good, eating too little also slows down metabolism or something, which is counterproductive too. Guess I got a bit diet crazy before, food didn't matter anymore, only my body did. I also noticed how weak I'd gotten, to the point where I had trouble opening doors which were too...

It's hard when it's the change in my lifestyle that made it change. But you're right, I did it before. I'm setting my Goals to go back to what I already reached first, I know it's doable and it makes it so much easier.

You think so? Well I suppose if I ever get to the point where am happy, I'd stop. It's not much about a target weight, just go till am happy with my body, I suppose.

Well it's Tuesday, and my first day on the diet, so starting at 119.2 lbs. Excited to see how I do next week :)

Um 5"3 or 5"4 I think.. There was some calculator that calculated that I need to be about 101lbs for abs or something x

I just have to take this seriously, I know it gets better and I know it work. Let's do this! My Story: I've started a calorie diet in the march of my last year of college, 3 years ago, at 64-68KG, and I was strict on it, every calorie, down to the last grape. I weight my food, and no body could...

Never done a challenge before, hoping it won't be too late to join. This seems motivating enough to get me started this month! Woo! babybelle: 4lbs (0lbs down, 4lbs to go) Iwant2beasize12: 10lbs (0lbs down, 10lbs to go) Caroline g: 4lbs (0lbs down, 4lbs to go) Hoz : 4lbs (0lbs down, 4lbs to go)...

My first diet, lost 15KG+, from size 12/14 to 6/8. And now am gaining it all back, 7KG so far and am getting to a size 10. It's so hard to restart when you've gotten accustomed to a life of eating out and fried chicken and chips :(

I'll be losing at least 10 more lbs by that time. Definitly. Hopefully. Maybe.

Much appreciated =)

I'm sorry for the bother but would like to know my pp value too. Female, 5 ft 3", 118 lb, 20 years. :)
