Yikes! Haven't been here in forever.. My diet has been very on again off again.. result: No progress. I've started afresh this week though. Anyways I'll just be writing the bad things I eat down from now on. Hopefully that'll give me extra motivation to eat healthy. I did a fabulous...

The Climb I can almost see it That dream I am dreaming But there's a voice inside my head saying "You'll never reach it" Every step I'm taking Every move I make feels Lost with no direction My faith is shaking But I gotta keep trying Gotta keep my head held high There's always gonna be...

I was such a lasy A$$ yesterday! I didn't do my workout video and spent most of the day lounging in bed watching movies... Very dissapointed with myself. I'm drawing a line. It was a bad day, but it's over now. I am thankful that I didn't over eat as well! I'm getting back to it today...

Wow I haven't been here in a while... Recap of the days I've missed: Monday: 2400 cals. That was an uncalled for and unexpected high calorie day which I shouldn't have had. What happened is I started binging to I decided to make it into a high calorie day in order to put a stop to it. That's...

Today was O.K. I could have made it better though! I need to get my groove on and be motivated to do my best no matter what! I ate 1900 cals today. Not good. I should have had 1700 at most. I HAVE to get back in control of my appetite and eating, it's really not helping me! I did do an hour of...

Reading! :) I don't post often because I don't feel I have any huge amounts of wisdom to share with you :P Bt you seem to be doing great, and keep posting for us all to read! I think a lot of people lurk and only very few post regularly :) Elm is great because she frequently comments :)...

Screw up alert! Yesterday I went on a binge. I'm not sure exactly what happened to bring it on, but I got ravenous and just couldn't stop :( Well, let's try to stay positive. I did do 50 minutes of sculpting yesterday as well (feeling it today!). I ate well (veggies, fruits and all) until about...

Got up late and then went out shopping for most of the day = only got to exercising at 8:30. I did 20 minutes. I'm just really proud of myself that I actually did it! Most of the time when it starts to get late evening there is NO WAY I'm doing exercise. So I'm really proud of my body that it...

I know it's a lot of exercise, but I think right now I need a lot of exercise because I think that's what my body will respond to. I do a lot of cardio, but I don't do that much strength training which is what usually makes my body sore and then I feel I have to recover from. When I lose the...

So Weigh in this morning, STS ARGHHHHH!! That was dissapointing because I have been trying quite hard, not cheating, not sneaking in extra food or anything. Anyways, I knew this might happen, but I need to forge a head anyways. I was thinking of lowering my calories a bit, because I mean...

PS: goals for next week: *4 days cardio, 2 days strength training *drink at least 2 liters of water (I've lessened the water because it's winter, so i don't feel I need as much as in summer) *eat 1800 cals 3 days, followed by 2400 1 day *Do light dancing on everyday I can! *watch out for the...

Ok so summary of today: Food was OK. Had Subway for lunch, as planned, but only ate veggies for dinner, and overall had 1800 cals! Woot! Probably shouldn't be so happy about that but I am because I broke the 2000 cals vicious cycle :P I didn't exercise today, altho I was out shopping for a...

Was a big naughty today, I'd say about 2000 calories. I'm going to pull myself back together right away tomorrow! No excuses! I didn't have to go overboard, but I did, and that's not acceptable. Tomorrow I'll be out most of the day which should hopefully keep me from overeating. Probably...

I know you can do it too :D It's been going good for me, slow but steady :) Congratulations on a good day !

Exactly elm, we're doing this! Isn't that strange yet awesome? I just think back to all the times I decided I was going to lose weight, and then it didn't happen... but not this time! Anyways, today was a relatively hard day. I think I'm having SAD... With the gloomy weather and the cold it...

Glad you're back :) Really in the end what you look like matters a lot more than numbers on the scale.

A well deserved "lazy day" today. I did a 20 minute workout video and some light dancing for about an hour, but was less active than usual because my body is quite sore and I'm getting a little run down. When I was doing my exercise video I almost felt like throwing up. I'm hoping that doing a...

Awesome progress, happy for you!

Wow!! Good on you, that's a lot of calories burnt!! Awesome!

Thank you! Days like that are the ones that keep me going :) Today was pretty good too, not as active though. I did 50 minutes of exercise and 14 minutes stretching exercises, my body was pretty sore (still is!) Ate about 1850 calories today, all healthy stuff (woohoo!) Read a bit about...

Great day! I did a 40 min exercise vid and then I went out climbing hills with my brothers for 2hrs and a half. so yea I think I'm covered on the exercise front I dank enough water, in the form of tea, not that much, but I think sufficient for winter ate 1800 cals. today was good, I am happy :)

+1 lb for me :(

So I ended up "giving into temptation" last night, so that was my higher calorie day, I have to be good for the rest of the week. While I did give into temptation at least I can say it was only healthy foods! Ok, so to recap last week, I did 5 days of exercise videos, one day where I did...

argghh I'm having a reallly hard time not eating more right now! I didn't do an exercise video today, which is no good. I did do a lot of dancing around for about an hour though. I'm not sure why I wanto to eat so bad right now, I think i'm just bored. But I'm going to stick to my guns! I've had...

Thank you Hope :) Really appreciate the encouragement! Update: I forgot to weigh myself today so I'll be weighing in tomorrow and summarizing my week. I hope everyone reading this had a brilliant week and i'm wishing you all great successes in your weight loss!

Welcome :) I have no idea what Slimming World is, but I hope it works for you! Good luck with your weigh in Tuesday!

Around 1800 cals today. Didn't eat too healthy though. Must pull myself back together! For exercise today I danced around my room for an hour and half to two hours. Wasn't super intense dancing but I'm counting it as my exercise today. Will be the exception and not the rule though. Yesterday...

Ok well big thanksgiving dinner. I cooked for 8 hours straight and was surprisingly good about not snitching. Of cours I had a huge dinner, I'm really realy full now .. I honestly had NO time to exercise, like really really.. but since I was on my feet all day long that should count for...

another day over :D Did tons of cooking / cleaning today because we're having a thanksgiving-ish dinner tomorrow. What went well: made 3 pies and didn't pick on any of the ingredients, ate about 1800 calories, exercised for 40 minutes! REally good workout too! All in all pretty good day...

good for you about thanksgiving! that must have been tough to eat mostly salad :) Happy Thanksgiving! :D

Hope you feel better tomorrow :(

Thanks elm, and you're right, comparing is completely useless :) Today I ate 1800 calories and exercised for about 43 minutes!! I don't recall eating anything unhealthy either, WOOOOOT!!! I'm really really proud of myself, I didn't eat the unhealthy cheese toast that my family had for lunch...

yesterday: Exercised, only for 15 minutes. My goal for this week was to exercise everyday, even if it wasn't for a very long time, so I'm still happy because I REALLY didn't feel like exercising yesterday, but I still did! What went well: Ate 1800 cals, which is good, and ate mostly healthy...

Why thank you, and good luck to you too! Sounds like you have a good goal to work towards!

So I'm down 3 lbs from last week.. VERY happy about that :). Things that could have gone better: I only exercised 4 days last week, there were good reasons but I still could have tried harder, so I'm gunna try harder from now on, and make exercise a bigger priority! Could have eaten...

22 - 11 - 2010: - 3 lbs WOOOT!!

It's wonderful when your family is supportive. I love the moment when everyone start noticing you're losing weight and you start getting nice comments about how great you look :) It's super encouraging. Good luck with your next weigh in!

Thanks! About the sleep, sometimes I have more than 8 hours of sleep and that's why I'm trying to cut down, that way I can burn more calories a day. :) I'm going travelling to England, Ireland, and Iceland (hopefully) :D Update: BAD WEEK!!! a lot of s**t has happened in my family which has...

Thanks so much, you're very encouraging! The Lemon case was O.K.... I wasn't a big fan... Good for you with the exercise goals, sounds like a good plan, I really enjoy running actually but only in private and where I live at the moment running in private isn't really an option... :(

I think there is a very big difference in attitude between someone who actually thinks they are "fat/overweight" or are not very comfortable in their skin and people who just say it to get attention... In general (and of course there are always the exceptions) I have found that people who are...

Today was CRAZY.. sooo many things happened.. big family stress out that took out my whole afternnoon, and the rest of the time I was trying to make a lemon roll cake and I tried like 3 times! grrr.. It was my brothers birthday and he really wanted one. the last one was OK, but that ate out a...

Wow it's so amazing that we started on the same day! And you're right I am very lucky that I didn't gain any more than that! I'm so glad you guys wanna join!! I'm wondering if we should put it in the challenge section or just keep it here? Let me know what's best :D Will update later with...

Thanks so much!! I'll defo keep you all updated :D Its great you're going to start exercising again.. what kind of exercise do you plan on doing?

Well I went off the plan for a while because I got discouraged, but before that about 1 lb per week.. but yes you're right I'm trying not to compare with others, because a little bit of weight loss is better than none! Anyways this diary is about you and not me so I'll stop whining now :D

Aw sorry about the bad day, but at least you didn't let it get you down and still worked out! Sounds like you have a good, sensible plan :) My Journey is going fine... I just wish I could lose weight as fast as some of the others on here :(, oh well each at our own pace I guess Have a great...

I don't have Cardio Party 2 yet, but I'm getting it. Did Cardio Party 1 today, it was really fun! I also really like the 20 minute workout, because it's short but also super fun.

That's a brilliant attitude to have! We all have weeks where things don't go too well or we don't lose any weight, but as long as we don't give up and keep pushing forward things always pick up! I really hope things go better for you with work though, that all sounds very stressful to me!

Hi, just a quick post about the "challenges" I'm working on. The main one starts next week and the challenge is to eat cleaner and get leaner during the holidays. The trend at the end of the year is usually for people to stop working out, and gain some weight over the holidays, but I'm going to...

Hi everyone, I'm new here :) I have another diary on a different weight loss forum but haven't got too much support on there, so I'm hoping to get some more over here! Info: I started my weight loss journey on the 21st of July, and did very well for a little while, lost about 11 lbs. But then...

Hi there. I think as to eating healthy vs. eating what you like in moderation there is a balance. Eating healthy most of the time is ideal because it will boost weight loss, make you healthier and also healthy foods should fill you up more because there are generally less calories for a big...

Hey, congrats on the 3 lbs, you must be so pleased! That dress is amazing as well! Definitly motivating! Do you count calories or just try to eat sensibly? I was also wondering if you did strength training as well as cardio?

Hey Stacy, congratulations on getting through the first 3 weeks! I think those are usually the hardest ones. Btw, 5 in and half is great progress!! really happy for you! Can't wait to see what kind of progress you've gotten this week! Anyways, sounds like you're off to a great start, keep up...

little late maybe but... I AM!!!! it's Amazing!!! I've had one of the workouts for FOREVER but somehow it looked too "flashy" for me at the time so I never tried it. Last week was my first week of Turbo Jam and I'm loving every second of it. I only realize how hard I've been working out when...

HOLY S**T woman that sounds like a LOT of exercise to be doing everyday! I mean if it works for you then go for it! I have to say though a little while back I was doing from 1 hr to 1h 45 mins of cardio everyday and strength training 3 times a week, and I hit a plateau because I was just...

I think having a friend or relative to lose weight with is great, but I've also found that it can be a hinderance in some cases if they go off track because they can drag you down with them. I have a friend that I'm supposed to be doing this with but while she started out very motivated she...

I was chubby as a child and often made fun of/bullied, and I think that's where I started having an unhealthy relationship to food, because I was always embarrassed to eat in front of others (even my family) and then I'd be really hungry and stuff my face between meals. I also went through a...

I laughed at some of these because it's sad yet funny some of the rediculously insensitive things people can come up with to say! I'm so happy there are a lot of supportive people in the world to counteract all of that! I think the classic one to hear is of course people who are obviously...

New to the forum :) I weigh in on Mondays too, so I'll be joining you! See you all next week!

10 lbs gone, 48 more to go!
