How I did it: I went to college in August, scared of the freshman 15. I had eaten a lot of fast food over the summer and had gained 6 pounds. Before I went to school, I managed to cut back on the fast food and lost 2 pounds. When I got to school, I told myself I couldn't be like a lot of the other kids and go out all the time for fast food. The only place I've been to for "fast food" is Subway and I only went once. Since I've cut out fast food and all … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'm a huge hockey fan and my friend was on the Blackhawks website and saw that they had an open practice that we could go to on a day we didn't have school. These practices were open to the public and about 20 minutes away from where I live. The anticipation was killing me but a month later I was watching my favorite hockey team practice. Even better, they had more practices I got to go to. Even better, they stay afterwards and sign autog… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I bought skates on New Year's Day with my best friend. We got sticks and pucks a few days later. He knew how to skate, I had only been on ice one other time in my life, 9 years earlier. But for some strange reason I took to the ice like it was something I was born to do. I had my share of spills, one particularly nasty one while learning crossovers, but I was on my way to being able to play hockey. Just a few weeks later, I found myself p… Read how I did it…
I’m actually losing weight and keeping it off! I was 140 when I started college, I’m 128 now! 12 pounds in 10 weeks is awesome for me! I haven’t been this thin in years. I think I look pretty good at this weight, but maybe I’ll drop a few more pounds. I’ve tried losing weight before and I always gain it all back. I’m a little scared for the holidays but I know I can do it!
10 weeks and counting for sticking to my diet.
It’s been 3 weeks since my last post and I hit a plateau as soon as I made my last entry. The first four pounds lost since I’ve been in college came off so fast. Then I was stuck at 136 for a week. I’m finally losing again and when I weighed myself this morning, I was 132! All I want is to be under 130 by Halloween. I have more than 3 weeks to lose more than 2 pounds. If I don’t hit another plateau, I should be able to do it.
Also, I have a dance coming up this weekend. I bought my dress in a medium and it was a little big. They didn’t have smalls and I really liked the dress so I bought it. I’ve lost another 5 pounds since I bought the dress so I hope it still fits me well enough so it isn’t falling off.
I kind of forgot about 43things. Oops. Anyway, I was down to about 125 pounds and I really wanted to get to 123 or 119. Then spring and summer rolled around and while most people start exercising again, I started eating more. I lost sight of my goals and gained 17 pounds. I was 142. I got down to 140 before I came to college and now I want desperately to pull a reverse freshman 15 and it’s actually working!
I’m down to 136 as of two days ago. It could be better but I’ll take it. My eating is weird because my classes are at different intervals everyday so I don’t get to eat at the same time. My roommate is a dietetics major so she definitely helps me stay away from the bad foods, or at least eat them in smaller portions. I really want to get down to 126, ideally 121 or 119.
But we’ll see. It depends on how I feel about my body and I really just want to tone up and feel good about myself. The number doesn’t matter as much as how I view myself.
