fadingrosepetals is procrastinating her AS coursework again :s
Been trying to lose wight for a while now and seeing so many people going for it then that might help my motivation :)
Take it a step at a time. Another 10 pounds after this month <3
How I did it: I was working outdoors for the summer, coaching flying trapeze. I went back to my circus background, instead of getting an engineering internship this summer (poor economy can actually do some good!). I didn't actually lose any more than 5 lbs, but I dropped 2 sizes and i'm super toned at 125, instead of 130. I no longer jiggle or feel uncomfortable at the gym, which is making it super fun to go. I've been to the gym every day of the week for the past while, not grudgingly, but because it makes me feel great about myself afterwards, I've even gone off my antidepressants/anxiety meds for the past 3 months. The excersize is a natural mood booster which I'm happier with, I hate taking unnecessary pills.
Lessons & tips: Something I'm still struggling with is that I have to start eating more now that I'm working out so often. It's hard for me because I am so afraid of going back. At the same time I was anorexic at 80 lbs just a few years ago, so finding a balance and acually doing what I knoe is healthiest and best for me still proves to be a challenge.
My advice would be, do what makes you happy and healthy. Excersize makes me happy for two reasons, one it gives me a natural seratonin boost, and two it allows me to be more comfortable eating, knowing I've done physical activity that has 'earned' me the food.
Resources: Being away from home, home life, and school stresses. Just mentally escaping and focusing on myself for a change.

Hi guys here are some sites on how to 10 pounds in 1 month

How to Lose Inches Fast <—F-R-E-E Reports
I didn’t get serious about it soon enough. Then got onto weight watchers, and lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks. This was a good goal, because it got me to WW, and got me serious. But I didn’t acheive the goal. But I’ll definately continue with WW. It wasn’t working on my own.
I am not going to make my goal, I just didn’t get serious with it soon enough. And then I thought I could do it doing the old things that didn’t work in the past- brilliant! But I think that weight watchers is going to work for me. I feel a little like an alcoholic, admitting that I need help, that I can’t do it on my own. It’s not going to be easy, and I really need to lose quite a bit. But I think WW is what I need at the moment.
I started this past weekend, and the weight is already starting to come off. I’m not sure I’m going to make my goal deadline- I should have started this sooner. But I hoped I could do it on my own. I couldn’t. This is a good thing, I think WW is a good plan. I don’t really care for the meetings, but I need it right now.
I signed up with sparkpeople.com this morning. I’m going to log my food (and calories) and exercise every day. I think that I really don’t realize how many calories I eat in a day. I also feel like I can’t stand to be hungry, but of course I can stand it. No one ever died of hunger between lunch and dinner!
After initially struggling with this I was able to do it (albeit not in one month). It probably took me two months to get the ten off and keep it off.
ugh. im so sick of myself. i keep trying to lose weight and i just end up binging. from now on i am going to look and think about everything i eat and exercise for a minimum of one hour per day. ten pounds will be gone by september 10, 2006! i will keep this updated =)
