joyjoeii weighed in this afternoon and i saw 53 Kgs!!

wow!! i’ve lost 1 kg so far.. ;]

getting back to normal life, i try to keep up with running, weight lifting and crunches and eating less carb & sugar, more fruits and veggies..3 years ago


joyjoeigosh!

i need to get back to this goal again.. and i really really really need to focus on it..

i am doing this for myself to feel more comfortable with the thinner me.. when i was on the trips, i ate and enjoyed the time sharing with family and friends so much but i didn’t regret the eating bc i was so happy and i knew that once i got back to reality, i would get back to this goal again..

but this time, it’s not so hard at all bc i know i can do it and running is one of my habit now.. here we go again!!!

edit: i was 50 kgs before leaving for philippines, gained 2 kgs after the trip and gained 2 more after the road trip with my family.. so now i am 54 kgs.. i want to go back to 50 kgs and then to 48 kgs..3 years ago

because i weigh like nothing like a strong wind came along and i blew away 4 years ago


AdarI'm pleased...

to announce that I’ve dropped a dress size.

No pounds, but given the physical activity I’m putting in, I suspect I’m turning fat to muscle.

happy dance4 years ago


AdarI noticed today...

that my pants are loose. Baggy, even.

Hmmm! 5 years ago


esinisheso I am

+ 25 now
:/:/:/ 5 years ago


esinisheI have this goal for more than 6 months

And I did put on like 2-3 kg since…

I guess.. I should be back to being unhappy.. I had lost like 8-9 kg when I was suffering og love.

But maÅŸallah these days, we seem to be happy.. ( not especially happy today but ) going on dates like 5 times a week does not help when you are obese :D But I am in loooooovvveee :D and kind of engaged :D 5 years ago


AdarOK...

this, too, is now a much higher priority.

Eat healthily, limit portions, exercise.

Sigh. 5 years ago


AdarCautious progress...

in this dept. I’m trying to live the changes and let the pounds wander off when they think I’m not looking. 5 years ago


Flirt Why are you doing this, really?

Chris asked this question on the “lose weight” goal recently, and I think it would do me good to answer it myself (me, not Myself, although she can answer it, too, if she wants).

I am doing it for me: I don’t like myself me like this and I’m tired of not liking me.

I am doing it for my health: being overweight increases my risk for many diseases and health conditions.

I am doing it for my heart: Flirting is much easier (I hope) when you feel good about yourself and look good to the flirtee.

I am doing it for the clothes: I have so many clothes that I love that don’t fit and I want to wear them. Plus, there are so many cute clothes out there I want to wear, but I refuse to spend the $$$ until I “loose the weight”.

I am doing it for my life: There are so many things out there in the world that I want to do and experience. Losing weight will make many of those things easier and more enjoyable.

Edit: I have more reasons, but I accidentally hit enter before I was done. I might add them later.5 years ago


AdarUntitled

Back on track with healthy eating and all… I got badly off track this fall and gained weight, now it’s “running and being free” again.

I’m quietly optimistic. 5 years ago


esinishehealthy living

I am really trying to be normal!

I have moved this week, actually 2 days ago and my new housemate, she is also a very best friend of mine, and I we’ve decided to live healthy.
No junkfood, or minimum, lots of fish less red meat, less bread, more cheese, less coke more green tea… and yoga 3 times a week.

I hope it turns good for both uf us, she has to live healthy also :) I have to normalize.

But now I do not have sth to weight myself at home. so I ll be able to know it from visit to visit to my parents’ :( 5 years ago


AdarI did a very fast reread...

of a book before I sent it off to Australia, Bookmooched (http://www.bookmooch.com) ...

Living Large, by Michael Berman, is the wisest book I know about being a fat person. It is not a diet plan, although there’s one in there, sort of; it is mostly just a book about what life feels like to one large, successful, mostly-happy man who has been fat all his life. He argues that not all of us can become truly thin and stay there—for some weight is a lifelong struggle. In Berman’s hands it comes close to being a spiritual path that travels ever upward, even as the scale swings back and forth.

If his name seems familiar, it’s because he’s been a mover-and-shaker in Democratic political circles since the 1970’s, a behind the scenes guy who kept campaigns moving. I originally picked up the book because I was curious about a fat man who had been very successful in life and was willing to talk about both the fat and the success.

I decided it was time to let go of the book, and sent it on its way, but the core message is still with me: self-acceptance is the key to the journey. Life isn’t just about weight, or food, or therapy, or work, or anything: life is about Everything. 5 years ago


esinisheSome positive effect

Of the new diarrhea I caught was that I can not eat properly for 3 days, I am in a potato diet :( horrible. I can’t eat anything else than potato :( and drink coke and water and tea (which is perfect I love black tea )

but I am a +17,9 now

If I put up like 1 kg of water I lost this 3 days, I can use this as a pitch :) 5 years ago


Flirt Opposing Forces

A call from my doctor’s office yesterday informed me that my TSH level was high, which means that my thyroid is under-active (hypothyroidism). One of the possible symptoms of this is weight gain, and while I haven’t gained weight, my weight loss has been pretty slow, despite my healthy eating and increased exercise.

I am going to start taking some medication to control this and besides affecting my weight loss (in a good way), I’m also hoping it will make a difference in some of my health issues. High cholesterol levels are associated with hypothyroidism, so there’s a possibility that this might help improve my LDL count. Also, my bladder/UTI problems have flared back up after I was doing lots better from being on antibiotics for 10 months. 5 years ago


Flirt A word to the wise:

If you’re having a bad day, it’s probably not a good idea to have a bowl of cookie dough sitting in your frig. So far, I’ve resisted, but the night is still young!!! 5 years ago


Flirt Mini Goal:

“LOOSE” 20 lbs in 10 weeks

I CAN do this!

YES, I CAN!!!5 years ago


esinisheHOLİDAY!!

I did put on 2,5 extra kg on holiday,
that makes me +21,5
Mom cooks really good and I love Turkish bread! what can I do!

Well, I have started fresh now, and am + 20,5 now :)

it is the good will that counts

Flirt Skinny Dippin' at Night!

Some extra incentive to keep on track with this goal!!! ;-D 5 years ago


Flirt Slowing down, but still going!

This goal hasn’t been a high priority the last month. Between having company (my nephew), and the heat (100+) I haven’t been to the gym, plus I’ve had a little too much ice cream (and other goodies). However, when I weighed in at the doctor’s office today, I was pleased to discover that I had lost another pound. Not much, but at least it shows that I’m on the right track! 5 years ago


AdarGotten sloppy on this...

but stepping on the scale at the doctor’s on Friday woke me up.

More activity, less sugar… 5 years ago


esinisheWelcome new commer me!

I am an obese since 8 yrs old, and I m 20. Things got worse with the horrible treatment I had this spring, I am healed totally but side effects will make me a fat wife ( if I get married :P ) or a spinster :P

I wanna loooooooooose themmm

Wishing is a good start :D

I have now 19.7 kgs to go away ( 2 kg s better than last month )
I will count them like that so I do not say my wieight :) 5 years ago


AdarFalling down...

a bit of late. Maintaining, but not losing. No focus.

Maybe periods like this are part of the process. Still. I do not want this to sneak back up on me! 5 years ago


Adar"Loosening" up....

I saw a program on MSNBC not long ago about hoarders, and it set me to thinking. I’m not a classic hoarder, but I have some things in common with them. Mainly, I get caught up in perfectionism and in indecision. And it occurred to me that the same things affect me around food, too.

So, in the spirit of “loosening” up my life, I have been weeding things and letting things go today. I can have a wonderful memory of an event without hanging onto trash I acquired during the event. I can enjoy the smell of popcorn without eating some each time I smell it.

I deserve a healthy body and an orderly house. I’m loosening up. 5 years ago


AdarThinking about "loosing"...

I am doing some big thinking about other things in life I need to “loose,” like all the stuff I feel the need to keep. I feel a cleaning fit coming on. 5 years ago


AdarDown 18 lbs...

since April 10, and the habits are still there.

This is good. I’m so grateful to friends here at 43Things (and the Robots, for 43Things!) for helping so much with the initial motivation and with the ongoing support. 5 years ago


AdarHome from the honeymoon...

and even with all the celebration food and travel, I managed to drop almost 3 pounds in addition to my “sprint” losses.

It’s a trend. New habits forming. Happy girl. 5 years ago


Flirt Running Free!

I’ve completed the weight loss sprint, loosing 9 lbs over 8 weeks, and over the last 13 months of this goal, I’ve loosed a total of 30 lbs. WOO HOO!!!

I feel very encouraged and motivated to lose the rest, as long as I remember to focus on today and loosing one pound at a time, instead of trying to see the end of the road and getting discouraged at how far away it is. I do have a weight I’d like to be at in 6 months and in a year, but I’m not letting that be my main goal, and I’m NOT going to be discouraged if I don’t get there when I want to. 5 years ago


AdarProgress

I’m down 13 pounds since the beginning of the Sprint, and that isn’t the best news. The best is that I’m settled into a routine of eating that I can maintain indefinitely, and feeling good.

Odd how there are sometimes windows when it is possible to make big changes that “stick.” It’s been a month since I started this new/old way of eating (something that was successful for me for years before I started school and had my (body-wise) disastrous year overseas.

“Loose” the weight indeed! 6 years ago


AdarFeeling light and airy!

Seriously, I’m into the groove with my eating habits, thanks to the Sprint. Yay! 6 years ago
