Kirsty's Diary - Need a kick up the bum!!!

[XxKirstxX]

I have been on this forum for a while and just recently back after having lost some weight on WW and Atkins and going up and down in the past few months I have decided I am back with avengance.

My boyfriend David and I have just recently booked a hol to Zante, leaving on 12th August, so this is going to be my countdown...

Not sure what diet I am on, but am going to start tracking what I am eating on this thread.

Wish me luck all! xx

Kirsty xx

Hey Stranger

How have you been?

I'm joining this section too Over the past few months I've lost so much confidence with my weight and have not had the motivation at all. All the pressure from different types of diets etc.. and learning the rules for each one was stressing me out and kind of blurring into one lol.

So i've decided to stick to a low cal and high exercise diet Wish me good luck. And if you wanna buddy up on here that would be great

Soph xxx

 

[XxKirstxX]

Hey Kingly thanks for the kind words xx

and Soph, nice to hear from you again! Yeah you are right with the different diets, I am sticking to the eat less, move more rule lol should be good, see how it goes for the first couple of weeks. Going to weigh myself every Monday. How you getting on? I am 15 stone now, had lost quite a lot on atkins but went back on far to easily when I came off it. I think it's more about a lifestyle change than sticking to a diet...

 

[Cheekysoph]

Luckily over my break I haven't gained !!

I'm still floating around 14st, my goal would be to get down to 12st and hopefully a size 12-14

I've got my wedding next year so want to be lovely and slim for my dress xxx

You are so lucky to be getting married next year. That will spur you on to lose weight.

At my heaviest I was 17 stone then got down to 14 stone something, now at 15 stone. Want to lose about 2 stone for my holiday in Zante. Hopefully I can do it. I've got my countdown ready.... 19 weeks today!! lol

I soo can't wait! lol xx

 

[XxKirstxX]

Right, let's do the maths here, I want to lose 2.5 stone to go on holiday, feel better about myself, buy nice clothes n not be as self concious.

I have 19 weeks to lose 35 pounds = approx 2 pounds a week.

How am I going to do this? The problem areas - at night, I get bored and need something to take my mind off wanting to eat (its like an addiction). At the weekend - I have such a bad habbit of drinking at the weekends as I am always so stressed during the week I need it to destress (need to think of something else to destress). I am always fine during the day at work monday to friday. It's at night and weekends that is the problem areas....

Help anyone?? xx

 

[Cheekysoph]

I have the same problem Kirsty! I'm so naughty at the weekends...Wine, chocolate and eating out!

The other problem with me is the will power, if I see something yummy i've gotta have it. I'm dreading the easter break for food. as my oh's family have brought me 2 easter eggs!! mmmmm chocolate must resist!!

Anybody got any tips for keeping off the bad foods?

xxxx

 

[XxKirstxX]

Well Soph, how did you get on at the weekend? Did you resist temptation? I had 1 n a half bottles of rose lol and a cheeky mini smarties easter egg bought by my little nephew so I HAD to eat it lol it was only small so hopefully doesn't effect weight loss. Weigh in on Monday!

Tips for keeping off bad foods? Hmm... if I don't buy them then they're not in the house for me to eat and fill up on the good stuff lol

 

[XxKirstxX]

Well I know I said I would weigh myself on mondays, but today I got a bit impatient so had my weigh in, and what a great boost! I have lost 5lbs, I am now 14 stone 9! Woo hoo, so happy! 30lbs to go!

[XxKirstxX]

Woo hoo! Just convinced my pal Jackie to come to a bums, tums and thighs class with me next wednesday night, really really wanted to go buy not on my own! lol thank god she said yeah, hopefully that will help with my weight loss and toning up for my hol! xx

At the weekend - I have such a bad habbit of drinking at the weekends as I am always so stressed during the week I need it to destress (need to think of something else to destress)

Yoga might be an alternative to think about? its exercise and supposed to be really good for relieving stress but in the mean time you can swap the wine for spirits with diet mixers...

pub measure of vodka and diet coke is 56 cals
average size glass of medium white wine is 130 calories rose wine is 124 a glass

If you really prefer wine to spirits though I know weight watchers do a range and can be bought in tesco I assume they are lower calorie than other wines but I'm not sure never tried them.

Ah, Friday at last! xx

Yeah but sometimes i end up drinking far too much vodka lol

 

[x_ali_x]

haha I know that feeling, I can drink vodka like its going out of fashion but 2 glasses of wine and I'm anybodies.

 

[XxKirstxX]

Lol yeah same! he he.

I'm in agony today, the backs of my arms are so sore, have been to the gym 4 times this week, but last nite done some new weight machines and must have pused myself too much cos it's so sore today. Going swimming tomorrow with David so hopefully the pain will be gone by then lol xx
