go minty! <3 the weight will be off in no time and youll be a knock out in your dress (:
sars- i think an environment change would help. that and if you make it routine to go to the gym before/after work not only will you get endorphines pumping into your blood to make you feel happy youll have a scheduale down and wont skip going as often. its worth a shot at least. and best of all its free! i wish i had a job that had a free gym membership. |
sars ~ I feel ya. I haven't felt good in a swimming suit since I was 18 Dx
I'm hoping to feel that way again eventually but I have so far to go that it's discouraging. I mean.. as soon as I start doing well on my diet I throw myself overboard and start eating horribly! I don't understand it... It's not like I want to eat badly.. it just happens. I hope you gain your motivation back! If your routine is bad for you you should definitely change it! It's when I change my routine that I have problems. That's why weekends are hard for me... especially holiday weekends. I feel like I'm getting back on track though. We'll see when I weight myself on Monday. You should definitely start a workout routine.. I like the ones that make me feel obligated to go. Like my tae kwon do class.. if I didn't show up I'd feel bad because my instructors want me to work hard and improve.. so I feel obligated to go and that's a big motivation for me. I tried doing the gym thing for a bit.. but if I skipped no one cared but me and I found it too easy to just not go. So I'd suggest signing up for a class at the gym.. something you like to do. =) You can do iiiiittttt!!! *cheers for sars* xD |
*pokes head in*
i'll report! can't say 'progress' report because it isn't really, i did put 4lb back on, 2 of those have come off again, but i can't call it progress until i've lost another 3lb now :lol: i have made a discovery though :shock: since i really cut the crap out of my diet, and have stuck with wholewheat pasta and so on. i've found that if i eat heavily refined carbs or something fatty, i get really sleepy! Which will explain why eating pizza the week before last turned me into a zombie! i had pasta in cheese sauce at the weekend, now it was wholewheat pasta, but i made the cheese sauce with white flour, and WAY too much cheese, and i was practically comatose 20 minutes after eating it :roll: i actually gave up and went to sleep for an hour and a half, at 5 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon! So i'm going to have to really watch what i eat now! Unless i can use it as a cure for my insomnia..can just see me..sat up in bed at midnight, eating garlic bread.. :shock: |
hahah aww, I'm the same way, Jelly!
Pastas make me really realllly sleepy! Probably one of the reasons why I'm not the biggest fan of pasta, and only really eat it a couple times a year. Well, I'm gonna suck it up and actually weigh myself now... something I haven't done for about a week. I think I need to start weighing myself everyday again, because when I was doing THAT, I was doing so much better. *runs upstairs* Ok, so the damage is: I've gained 3.5 pounds. *sigh* thats not as bad as I originally thought, but still.... I need to smarten up! I was sure I'd gained all my weight back. I just feel so... blah! I think a big part of it might be that I've had a really bad cold for about 6 days thats made me feel really super sluggish, and I haven't done any excersize at all since saturday when I went on that hike. I mean, I have my daily walks to and from work, and then the 12 hours I'm on my feet all day DOING my jobs, but I haven't gone for a good walk. I should today, but again, my cold is in my respiratory system, and it would slow me down a LOT.... I would cough up a lung!! |
cough up a lung huh?? wonder how much one of those weighs..http://i9.tinypic.com/6bk91ll.gif
|
hahaha! good point!
Well, I am supposed to hang out with my friend Sean tonight, and I might walk over to his house. It's about a 35-40 minute walk, so that would be good excersize. I'm also thinking about heading downtown to do a bit of shopping... which wouldn't be over-exerting myself, but at least I'd be outside walking around rather than sitting here on my bum. But i so rarley ever get to sit on my bum these days, and its kind of nice to do so... haha |
I finally bought stuff to make smoothies XD
They are so good. I need to keep the ingredients in stock in my house. |
Mmmmmm now I want a smoothie!
Maybe I'll get one when I go downtown....... I keep saying I'm gonna go, and I'm not gone yet... hmmmm. |
Aww that sucks sars T_T All around. I hope you get to feeling better... I had gained 2 pounds when I went on my binge over last weekend.. and that was 2 lbs over the previous weeks weigh-in.. who knows how much I lost during the week that I gained back. Oh well.. I've worked really hard to get it off so I'm hoping my weigh-in monday goes well.
Sorry to hear your feeling ill. Kick that cold's ass! That does suck though.. whenever I get respiratory colds it always takes it forever to go away it seems. Jelly~ OMG I'm the same way too! I pizza when I went on my binge last weekend with a couple of beers and I totally passed out for like 2 hours afterwards. It sucked! I don't usually eat pasta though.. and I can't for my diet so I'm good there xD Minty ~ Mmmm. That sounds yummy! I should make a smoothie this weekend n_n What do you put in yours? |
I am cracking down!!!!
Yeah, it's true that I was REALLY bloated on my prom night, but I just got the pictures back... :( Yeah, it's true that the pose was awkward, but it's soooo bad and I almost cried when I saw them, no joke. I look so wide!!! This is one picture I will NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER like. I have begged and pleaded with my mom to get rid of it but she WON'T. The one with my boyfriend does not look bad, at all, but that one looks so bad!! The lady MADE me pose with my side facing the camera - uh, bad idea!! I didn't even want to pose that way but she kept bitching at me until I did. I am sooooo pissed off and sad at the same time. :( But now I am REALLY, REALLY cracking down on exercise!! It's true that my wide ribs contribute to the all-around wide look too, but still... there's A LOT I can do to improve, so I'm going to use this as motivation, DEFINITELY... ugh. I'm walking Relay for Life tonight and after that I'm going to come home and do a kickboxing routine. For dinner tonight I'm having a small salad and a small plate of baked pasta. No garlic bread, even though I REALLY wanted some. My "small rewards" are becoming my demise. After I eat, I ALWAYS am back up to like 128. It ends NOW!!! |
Sammi, find a friend with photoshop or something and do a bit of surreptitious skimming! Shave a few pounds off of the pic so you don't have to hate it forever.
|
Awww Sammi--- I'm sorry that one of your prom pics turned out poopy--- that photog OBVIOUSLY didn't know anything. *sigh*
Anyways, I did really good today you guys! I ate rather sensibly and on top of that, I drank 6.5 litres of water throughout the day... yes.... six and a half litres. probably another litre before I get to bed yet.... hahah. Crazyness. I don't know why, but I was sooo feinding for water! Hoping to have another good day tomorrow!!! |
Another thing about photos..they're like the tv, they always make you look wider than you are for some reasonhttp://i3.tinypic.com/6b9hjli.gif
The camera does lie! and it's mean to boot :x I tend to look less than great in any pictures that are taken of me :cry: but that often my own fault for wearing pale colours that emphasise my width :roll: |
I've been too ashamed to even poke my nose into this thread. :p
Long story short: a lot of things have happened that have made me really depressed. A good friend of mine passed away, and my boyfriend is driving me to break up with him. So I did what any woman would do and said "Oh, fuck it all. Lets go out and drink lots of alcohol and eat stuff with CHOCOLATE in it!" Fortunately, I have a paycheck coming this Wednesday, and its all going towards stocking my house with healthy foods and getting inspired again. ... after I pay back the $100 my boyfriend suddenly "remembered" I owed him. |
aww mesic, I'm sorry that all that crud piled up on you--- you did what any one would do.
Don't feel bad about it. I found some no sugar added popsicles that are 10 calories a pop....sooo delish. I love popsicles so much, and these are like.... making them even better! yay. |
sammi ~ Aww that suck hun.. I'm sorry. You should totally have someone photoshop it for you like Jelly suggested. ^_^ Cracking down is good though. I've been doing a lot of that this week too. D8
jelly~ OMG tell me about it. I hate it when people take my picture.. I'm like "get that thing out of my face" because I know the picture is going to make me look like a whale.. Hopefully soon enough I won't feel like that. sars ~ There are some sugar free fudge-sickles that are only 30 or 40 calories or something that are sooooo good and totally help a chocolate/ice cream craving xDD Ok guys... I weigh in tomorrow. I'm excited though b/c I've been peaking at the scale a bit and I'm liking what I'm seeing. I worked really hard this week after my bad cheating at the lake last weekend. I think I've done pretty well. I had to do the whole only meat with raw green veggies for 3 days after I cheated and I think that really helped me get off some of the pounds. And MY JEANS ARE LOOSE! It's awesome!! I have to keep pulling them up because they're getting baggy and saggy. xDD So hopefully I'll bring you girls a good update tomorrow! *crosses my fingers* <33 |
|
Censored ~ Don't feel bad.. you have less to lose than I do *sweat*
______________- Ok everyone.. here's my update. I got on the scale today and it said 215.4lbs.. which means I lost 4.6 lbs over the last two weeks.. for a total loss of 15.6lbs!! Woo hoo! *throws confetti and celebrates!* So I'm sticking to it this week. I just got back from lunch. I had a salmon salad. It was good but next time I'm going to ask for the dressing on the side because they put way way too much on it. *bleck* And I'm continuing to drink water and work out at my tae kwon do class. Anyway.. I just wanted to tell you all that if I can do it you can do it! *throws motivation around* xDD |
Well done Eroy!!
Perfect weight loss progress, i still haven't lost anymore, still sitting at 145lb. I can feel a difference somewhere else though, at the top of my back across my shoulders, there seems to be less fat there now, which is great! http://i9.tinypic.com/542mumo.gif |

Thanks Censored!
That's awesome Jelly! You know they say you should measure weight loss by how you feel not by what the scale says.. so if you're toning up but not losing weight that's still awesome! xD |
CONGRATS EROY THATS WONDERFUL!!!!
I haven't weighed myself yet today because.... I just got home actually.... haha. I had an impromptu sleepover last night with a friend...a friend thats a boy..... it was rather nice... hehe. nothing like... happpppened.... we watched a movie and cuddled. but like... ok.... this guy is major cute, and I've kind of had a crush on him for AGES, and..... yeah. i think maybe he wants to date me? he mentioned my awesomeness more than once, and never even tried to pull any sneaky moves. anyways. that must mean I'm looking good haha. Anyways, that was my excuse for having not weighed in today yet.... or maybe I just wanted to tell someone... hehe a bit of column A and a bit of column B perhaps? Anyways I'll go weigh myself right now! Ok well, I'm pleased! Looks like I've lost the weight I re-gained! Back down to 139, so I'm sitting at the 9lbs lost mark again haha. so I'm getting back on track because I'd like to lose another 5 lbs before I go visit my sister at the end of the month. |

Thanks for the comfort, guys - I think I might try to photoshop it when I have some time, or either get my boyfriend to do it for me. I could probably do it myself, though.
I'm thinking about swimming some laps tonight with my mom. :D So that should be fun exercise!! I've been eating... ehhh. xD I don't eat HUUUUGE lunches anymore, I pack a sandwich or a hot pocket and one snack, instead of two. That gives me more time to drink my water, too! So I'm not rushing at school (since we only get 25 minutes) and eat EVERYTHING without seeing whether or not I'm full. :3 I just need to train myself not to eat sooo much for an after school snack. All in all, though, I'm not doing so bad! x) |
oh well done Sars!
Getting a man in your life will help you too! being happy makes losing weight so much easier :) |
