I’m starting today. My friend and I went to wendy’s around 12. I only had a few fries. I’m so proud of myself. No more late night snacks. It’s hard when you’re in college.

How I did it: I became anorexic, so it wasn't really that pleasant! yeah I lost weight but I was totally messed up in the head. I was also bulliemic. Once I got with my boyfriend he made me eat more and now Im 9 stone and I hate it because I miss being really skinny but I also love it because everyone says I look better so I feel better and Its so much nicer being able to eat what you want but exercise, instead of fainting everytime you exe… Read how I did it…

Nieva is worried.
How I did it: I have a very small frame, therefore if I gain weight, it is obvious and often unflattering. The most I have ever weighted is 119, and although this is a perfectly acceptable weight for people of my height, I did not feel healthy. I began by creating an exercise plan for myself that included cardio every day (beginning with simply walking and gradually going up to running, tae bo, the elliptical, and bike riding) and strength … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just ate healthy and exercised. I didn't restrict calories, just ate normally. I always kept above 1800, except at the beginning when I was uneducated, and I hate to say it but I was a bit of a 'wanna-exic'. I know better now though. Now I get accused of being anorexic!

So I’ve got a way to go yet. Hopfully I’ll get there slowly and healthly by watching my calorie intake.

... this is not a healthy goal really.
I’m 5’8/5’9… and so weighing 110 puts me at an underweight BMI.
The reasoning for this goal is that I went to the pool th eother night with some friends and for the whole 3 hours we were there, I listened to them talking about how “hot” other girls were who were skinnier than me.
It’s not that I’m fat either. I weigh 125-130, which is a healthy weight for me according to the BMI chart I looked at. I just feel that I could be skinnier which I realize is not a healthy thought.
I don’t have any intentions of a crash diet or anything. Another one of my goals is to plan out meals 3x a week, which I think will help because I have a tendancy to not eat, and then munch on Cheetos or popcorn later on.
I would also like to take a walk every day. Or at least more days. I took a walk a couple weeks ago up on campus and it was a lot of fun and took me about an hour. Only problem is that the trail will soon be buried in snow. But by then I will hopefully be working as a snowboard instructor, so I suppose it’s a fair enough substitute.
My school also pays for free activities every night.
Monday and Wednesday is free gym nights, and I go and play volleyball or mess around with the treadmill or weights. Occasionally I run but I have a really hard time with the altitude, so that doesn’t always work out the best.
Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday there are activities at the field. Depending on the night, it’s Flag Football, Ultimate Frisbee, or Soccer. I have class on Tuesday night, but I would love to go the other nights. However, I have issues with being motivated to run around from 8-11PM. I already attend the swim nights (that’s where this goal originated). Last time I went I did spend some time (15 or 20 minutes probably) swimming laps. I would like to continue this. And possibly motivate myself to go swimming in the AM a couple times because I bought a 15 visit pool pass last year that I never did use. Also, at 6-9AM I think I would be less bothered by being the only one not sitting in the hot tub.
Drinking more water will also help I think. I have a bad habit of drinking Pepsi for breakfast on Friday morning because I have class at 8AM and when my alarm goes off at 6:45 I just want to scream at it to shut up so that I can go back to sleep.
I’m not sure if this is related to weight loss at all but I would like to sleep in a manner that I can actually get up in the morning without feeling grouchy because I got woken up by my alarm. I have class 3 days a week. Tuesday and Thursday my alarm goes off at 8:45 and Friday my alarm goes off at 6:45. I know I can get up before 8:45 and not be grouchy. I did it all through elementary school adn junior high and high school. I’m not completely sure what my problem is, but I do have an idea. I text Jeremiah at 10PM (that’s what time he gets out of class) and talk to him until like 1 or 2AM. I should say “OK. I need to go to sleep now.” but I really really enjoy talking to him, so I’m willing to sacrifice my sleep. Which is probably not the way I should be going.
Last night I went to bed at 8, and fell asleep about 9:30 (that’s another thing… it seems to take me FOREVER to fall asleep) and woke up at 9 this morning ready to get up and accomplish something with my life. I feel like this was a rare mood. I also SUCK at taking naps.

So working in the OR for one month and trying to eat healthy DID really show some effect. Hm. Did also do some sports- like 3 times a week 30min- sounds a lot, but it´s not a big deal…
Maybe i should concentrate more on this goal, i kinda feel good!
I need to start trying to lose weight. I feel like shit everyday and I need to change it. I signed up for a couple of exercise classes at my university. I have to do more cardio though and go to the gym. And DIETT! or lifestyle change or whatever you want to call it.
I’ve been trying to reach this goal for 3 years. The closest I got was 120 with a lot of muscle. I lost all of it after I had to stop working out due to herniated disks. Lately, I have been letting myself go since I quit smoking. I CAN’T STOP EATING! =[ I’m going to stop tomorrow though since I will be working for 8 hours. I’ll be keeping myself busy and burning off calories which is a good start. =]
I’m 5’8” and weigh just under 130 pounds. I steadily put on about 10 pounds this freshman year at college. I want to not only lose the weight, but a bit more, as ive never been a hundred percent confident with my weight. My first goal is to reach 115, after which I am going to have a party and allow myself a scoop of icecream. Then the last 5 pounds will perish. I have to look great for the start of class and shock all my friends.
I’d also like to tone up my rear and thighs. (i have a pretty flat tummy)
soul of hope is packing
I will be skinny because I want to look like a model. I will be skinny because I will be attractive. I will be skinny so I will look like Nicole Richie and Lindsey Lohan and Kate Moss and Ina Browning. I will be skinny to look good in pictures. I will be skinny so I’ll be faster and a better athlete. I will be skinny because I will be attractive. I will be skinny because I will look good in a bikini. I will be skinny because I will be able to be the best dressed and wear whatever I want, like short shorts, tight little dresses, leggings for pants, short skirts, tight jeans, crop shirts, tank tops, bandeau tops, etc. I will be skinny because I will look good in rompers. I will be skinny because I will fit into the yellow dress and look good in my american apparel little black dress.
This is a bit of a pipe dream for me. I think I’m almost happy with the way I look, especially now other people also appreciate it. Losing however many lbs isn’t going to make me happy, and it’s not like anyone else is going to notice if I do. I don’t want to GAIN weight, I’m perfectly happy at the weight I am right now.
