Had a wake up call this weekend. 2 months ago

Somebody who’s always been an inspiration, who turned his life around, died on Friday. It’s made me realize just how important taking care of my body and my health is. It’s jolted me into taking better care of myself. I need to start living clean right now, because I know the road I want to take, and it’s not that one.

I'm finally going to do this... 6 months ago

I’ve been overweight pretty much all my life. Not obese or anywhere near it, but I’ve always been just a few pounds outside my optimum weight. I recently took the bull by the horns & looked up my ideal weight & BMI, for my height, build, etc. I’m a 22 year old female, 5’7”. My BMI is about 26, it was suggested I aim for 23. I was also recommended to lose 20-30lbs. So now I’m doing it!
I’m actually afraid to weigh myself right now though. I get the feeling that if I see what I weigh, I might just say, “Ah screw it!” and give up before I even begin. I know that I’m somewhere in the range of 170lbs, I doubt much more than that. I am tall-ish and I’ve been told I can carry it off, but the thing is, I don’t WANT to carry it off anymore. I feel so self conscious all the time. I’ve begun to avoid socialising because I’m too ashamed to go out, making matters worse, because I stay in & EAT instead! I’m too embarrassed to shop for clothes. I’ve NEVER worn a bikini. I need to do this for me. Oh, also, my ass is too big! ;)
I made out a diet plan that I can stick to. I’m following a low calorie diet – 200:200:600 BREAKFAST:LUNCH:DINNER with 300 to spare for snacking on decent fruits, vegetables & nuts. I’ve been doing at least 1.5 hours of varied cardio per day broken into 30 minute intervals, with some strength and resistance training & toning exercises thrown in for good measure. I’ll be taking a rest day once a week.
I’ve been on this regime for half a week and, honestly, I feel I’ve lost weight already. The first time someone tells me they think I’ve lost weight, I will weigh myself. Hopefully that won’t be to far off!

17lbs gone... 6 months ago

I decided at the time I decided to actually do the c25k that if I was going to make an effort to exercise, it wouldn’t be that much more difficult to actually eat good stuff as well. So instead of the 2-3 20oz bottles of Coke Zero I’d drink at work, I’m now drinking about 2ltrs of water a day. On the weekends I drink water or cranberry juice mostly, unless I’m taking a day off from the healthy stuff, like this afternoon when I had Taco Bell as a reward. I’ve found that moderation is the key for me.

My doctor has been on my case for not eating 3 meals a day for years (I’m not much of a food-in-the-morning person), so I eat “breakfast” at about 10pm every night – a bowl of Frosted Mini-Wheats – which curbs my urge to snack on something a couple of hours after dinner, and makes up for the lack of fiber I get with the rest of my meals. And aside from my afternoon snack, it’s really the only sweet thing I eat lately.

The biggest change was lunch at work, where instead of eating one of the sodium-filled prepackaged sandwiches I had been eating, I eat yogurt, and instead of eating a bag of Chex mix or cheese crackers, I’m totally hooked on those Fiber Plus Antioxident snack bars, which are far too chewy and chocolatey for my body to believe that I’m eating something that’s actually kinda good for me.

Even though I needed to lose about 50lbs to be considered a “healthy” weight, I set my goal to 30, with the plan to go on to 40, and then 50lbs. I need to lose about another 30lbs at this point to reach my ultimate goal of “healthy.”

This is my goal for September 2009 8 months ago

It’s a work in progress. I’ve got 20lbs overweight, that I need to lose. But the further 10 are important to me, I want to be the small girl I used to be.



Lose 30lbs 12 months ago

I’ve been wanting to lose some weight for a long time now, I’m 5”8 and 151 lbs. I know that doesn’t make me overweight as I’m quite tall for a woman, but I’ve put on 30lbs in the last year and a half, most of it being in the last six months as I’ve become settled in a relationship, so I spend most of my nights either out drinking, or sitting infront of the telly with pizza and ice cream! I was much happier when I was 120 and a size 6-8, and I’ve got millions of dresses in my wardrobe that I can’t fit into anymore, some I’ve never even worn. I was complaining to my boyfriend a few weeks ago, and he commented on the fact that I’m not really the thinnest person in the world, which really brought it home to me. I don’t want my boyfriend to start finding my unattractive, so it’s given me the extra kick up the backside I need. I’m not doing it just for him, as it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. So starting tomorrow, I’m determined to get back to my previous weight.
