lose weight

Wow, I have not been on this website in FOREVER! I’m just so busy now that I never have any time. But, there is good news! I’m down to 130! yay! I’m looking really good. I went out to buy new pants for my new job, and now I’m a size 7. (I was a size 11). So I’m really excited. :]

I think just a few more pounds (between 5-10) and I’ll have completed this goal. =]

Good Luck everyone!

Im doing well. yay! Only 9 more pounds to go and I think I’ll be happy. The only bad thing is, now my prom dress is a little too loose becuase I’ve lost weight, but it still looks great. =]

I’m pretty happy. I’m now down to 134, and I just keep getting closer to my goal.

Oh and its almost time for PROM! [2 weeks!] So thats helping me push myself in the right direction.

Well I’m not losing any weight right now, but I haven’t gained any either so thats good. Found this new diet, but it isnt really a diet. I love it and I think it’ll help my problem.

Here it is!

—Bikini Tip #1: Start with a 9-inch plate.
You may not be surprised to learn that as our waistlines have increased, so have the sizes of our plates. Get our your plate and measure its diameter with a ruler—don’t eyeball it. If your plate is bigger than 9 inches, put it back on the shelf and get a new one!

—Bikini Tip #2: Visualize a bikini on your nine-inch plate.
The bikini top has two bra cups that each cover one-fourth of the plate.
A serving of meat, legumes, or tofu should fit on one of the bra cups. Notice that a 10-ounce steak will not fit, but a 3-ounce steak will.
Place your choice of bread, rice, pasta, or starchy vegetable (such as corn, potatoes, peas, or lima beans) on the other bikini bra cup, also covering one-fourth of the plate.
The bikini bottom covers the lower half of your plate and will hold your vegetables and salad. You can select a large portion of one vegetable or salad, or smaller portions of several.

—Bikini Tip #3: Don’t forget the sunscreen!
An 8-ounce bottle of sunscreen is the perfect visual to represent the amount of low-fat milk to enjoy with your meal.

—Bikini Tip #4: Sweeten with fruit.
Picture a tennis ball, balancing inside a large seashell. Your fruit selection should be about the size of that tennis ball. You can enjoy your fruit with your meal, or save it for a snack later in the day.

When selecting berries or melon, you can enjoy 2 fruit selections, since these types of fruit are low in calories and high in water content.
On occasion, you may want to substitute a dessert in place of the fruit. This dessert portion should also fit into the shell.

—Bikini Tip #5: Imagine a tube of sunscreen lip balm.
Add this amount of fat to your meal. This could be salad dressing, olive oil used to sauté vegetables, butter or margarine, sour cream, or mayonnaise for a sandwich.

—Bikini Tip #6: For breakfast, think bikini top only.
Enjoy your meat and grain items on the bikini top. Add some low-fat milk the size of your sunscreen bottle, and fruit that fits in your large shell.

—Bikini Tip #7: The bikini body is an active body.
The Bikini Diet encourages getting 30 minutes of lifestyle activity 5-6 days a week. To get you in the mood, turn on those wonderful sounds from the Beach Blanket Bingo era. Vacuum, dust, mop, wash the car, garden, and “twist and shout” your way to a new healthier you!

Godd Luck!

Maybe this goal will be easier for me to do when its late spring, and into the summer. Yesterday was really nice so I went for a half a mile walk with my dog, and boyfriend then we went down to the river to skip rocks. [which I had never done before, but I like it, it was fun.] So then we took the dog home, and decided to go to another park to walk around in. I love the second park because its so big and pretty. So there we walked another mile. Then we went to his house and I jumped on his trampoline forever.

When its warm outside, I never stop moving. =]

Thank god chocolate isn’t really my thing, and I’m glad my mother got me a braclet for easter, instead of candy. Oh its so pretty I love it!

I don’t think I’ve gained any weight but I have a little poouch. [You know, under your belly button where it gets fat and it wont go away.]

Ahhhh and my boyfrined insists that I eat when I’m at his house because my mom feeds him when hes at mine. And all he has to eat at his house, is things that are really bad for you.

UGHHHHH!

Everyday during track practice, my team does situps [we go up one a day, so I think we’re on 60]. Also we do pushups. First we do 10, then 9, then 8… all the way to 1. And I counted it today, and thats 55 pushups! CRAZY!

haha but I’m going to have amazing arms so I can throw that shot, and disc really far. =]

So anyway the point of me talking about this is that I’ve decided to do the 55 pushups everyday of the week, even when we don’t have practice, & do 100 situps everday.

That equals 700+ situps a week! [i’m not counting the ones we do in practice]
And that equals 385 pushups a week!

woooooo! I’m going to be skinny soon!

My work ethic when it comes to losing weight, is like a roller coaster. For a few weeks I’ll be really excited, and work hard and then for a few weeks I just don’t seem to care one way or the other. That needs to stop.

I’ve been thinking of new reasons why I personally want to loose weight. Here are the ones I can think of right now.

1. Prom is almost a month away
2. I’m going to be a senior next year
3. I’m co-captain of the Varsity cheerleading squad
4. I want to set a good example for my family
5. My boyfriend is thin, and I don’t want to look like a cow standing next to him
6. I play basketball
7. I’m on the track team
8. My ex dumped me for a fat girl who looks like a chipmunk
9. I want to be able to run without losing my breath
10. I want to look hot in a bikini this summer

This time I’m going to stay on track.
=]

Starting weight – 145
Current weight – 136
Goal weight – 125???
