Yes – tracked all day and ate all meals and snacks.

3. To achieve 30 very active minutes each day.
Just under at 23 minutes despite choosing to and from M&Ds so am a little disappointed. However, I have my induction at the gym today and this can only be good. And rather scary! 1 hour ago

1. To lose 14lbs by 8th July 2013 (12st 4lbs).

2. To stay within calorie allowance.
Yes – tracked all day and ended in credit having only missed one snack.

3. To achieve 30 very active minutes each day.
Walked the long way to catch a bus into town while the house was being cleaned. Achieved 39 minutes of very active-ness. 1 day ago

I am determined to exercise everyday, starting tomorrow, at 7am until 8am. Not just Sit and Be Fit either. I’m really going to work myself out. By the time I’m 34 years old (I’m currently 32), I want to be at or near my ideal weight. This exercise regimen is the start of that.

Furthering this, I’ve already cut out all of the unhealthy junk foods I had been eating up to this point. I am slowly replacing them with healthy alternatives as I find the recipes for them. 1 day ago

I “woke up” again. Meaning, I started the diet over today. Don’t worry, it is much more than that kind of change of eating behavior which people cannot stick to afterwards and such; it really is a permanent (!) change concerning my eating habits. So far I am feeling good!

I will keep you updated on how it goes. Right now my weight is at 109.5 kilos/241.4 lbs, so you can imagine what I will have to battle, but then again, I am quite optimistic about it all. I am looking forward to the upcoming weeks/months, to see the weight melting away and to find my passion in life again, which was really numbed because of my own view of myself which can sometimes be really catastrophic.

Have a nice day everybody & cheers to everybody going through the same!! 1 day ago

I’ve gained 1lb this week having had a couple of binges, too many treats and then a big meal last night for Father’s Day. I need to stop having so many treats and get back to tracking properly. It isn’t forever but it is important to focus on what I’m doing here and I feel I’ve been a bit too relaxed about it all.

2. To stay within calorie allowance.
Had M&D over to celebrate Father’s Day yesterday so I cooked and ate a big meal and didn’t track. Eating the big meal is fine but I think I should have kept tracking so at least I’d know how many calories I’d had. Knowledge is power and all that.

3. To achieve 30 very active minutes each day.
Zero. I’m noticing that things like cooking and tidying the house don’t earn me very active minutes so to meet this goal I’m going to have to go for a walk on days I don’t have errands to run. 2 days ago

Weight: 171.5 Pounds on June 15, 2013

This is the lowest weight I’ve been in over thirteen years. (I got down to 172 via diet pills after my honeymoon, but sadly didn’t stay there.) The fat is coming off glacially slowly, like an average of a pound a month since October 2008, but hopefully the changes I’ve made to my eating and exercise habits will help me continue to lose.

To reward myself, I ordered some smaller riding breeches and sports bras. I would have liked to space the purchases out more, but I snagged some 10% off coupons which saved me quite a bit, plus no tax and free shipping. One of the biggest pleasures of being thinner is being able to wear normal sized clothes. I still have another 21.5 pounds to lose to get to my goal of 150 pounds, but at least now I’m into the size large breeches instead of the XL!

Update: Yesterday was my weekly date day with my husband and this morning I’m back up to 173.5. I would have been okay except I really overdid it with the toppings at the frozen yogurt place. When I calculated the calories afterwards it came out to about 1,0000. That’s half my daily allowance. It will probably take me two days with my normal 400 calorie deficit to get back to my low. Not really worth the dessert, even though it was quite tasty. Next time I go there I’ll try for either fewer types of toppings or just a single scoop of each.

I also left my ride too late and missed it altogether. Time to start going to sleep earlier again! 2 days ago

Good Luck! 2 days ago

I managed to eat smaller portions yesterday, with less foods including carbs.

Also, I got considerably more sleep than I normally get. Last night, I actually got 8 hours! Usually I get 5. So, this is definently an improvement. :) 2 days ago

1. To lose 14lbs by 8th July 2013 (12st 4lbs).

2. To stay within calorie allowance.
I binged and failed to track so have no idea how many calories I ingested. Why did I do it? I think the day went wrong when the cats woke me at 5am and I made the mistake of getting up instead of ignoring them. By 10am I was so sleepy and binged so I’d feel sick and could therefore justify going to bed and to sleep. To try and stop this happening again I’m instituting a rule which says I don’t get out of bed until 6am at the earliest (my alarm goes off at 7am).

3. To have 30 very active minutes.
Managed 25 minutes which is quite good considering how much of the day I spent sleeping. 3 days ago

1. To lose 14lbs by 8th July 2013 (12st 4lbs).
Went to Weight Management Group who say I’ve gained 1lb. As I’ve spend a month gaining and losing the same 2lbs this isn’t entirely surprising. This was my first visit to the Phase III group and the woman who usually runs is was on holiday so it was a bit chaotic and I didn’t really get any advice on what to do with my plateau. I have, therefore, used MyFitnessPal to recalculate my calories as I think that’s where the problem lies and shall see how the new, lower figure works.

2. To stay within calorie allowance.
First day on new calorie allowance and I stayed within it but missed lunch and one snack.

3. To have 30 very active minutes.
Got 31 minutes which is rather lower than I was expecting as I ran a lot of errands on my way back from Weight Management. 4 days ago

I’m being treated for Binge Eating Disorder. So far I’ve lost 21lbs. My current goal is to lose another 14lbs by 8th July 2013. Unfortunately I seem to have hit a plateau as I’m gaining and losing the same 2lbs over and over again. I’m losing weight by trying to achieve two goals each day:

1. To stay within my calorie allowance (tracking with myfitnesspal).
2. To achieve 30 very active minutes (measured by FitBit).

Yesterday I overate at suppertime but didn’t go on to a full-blown binge. I ended the day with a calorie credit and had 31 very active minutes.

Today I’m going for my official weigh in at the hospital (I go once a month) and I’m pretty sure I’ll get a stay-the-same which is a bit disappointing. 5 days ago

Measurements (first thing in the morning, empty stomach)
Bust: 43 1/2”
Waist: 32” (relaxed, 31” with muscles contracted.)
Hips: 41 3/8”

BMI: 28.6

Lost since October 2008: 44 Pounds

I’m 2/3 way to my goal. Hurrah! 5 days ago

My last entry was approximately a year and a half ago, but apart from gaining a lot of weight, not much happened. I want to change this of course, so I will change my eating habits once and for all.

I am still fighting and I won’t let anything get me down. (fighting mode)

I hope you are all fine, by the way. I am looking forward to writing more here again!! 5 days ago

1. My BMI has dropped below 28 to 27.89
2. I now weigh exactly 15 Stone (down 1.5 stones) 5 days ago

So, I managed to reach my goal (of being in a normal BMI zone)! Yay! Here is the bad part…. eating well, exercising daily, cutting out eating out anywhere at all, and I managed to lose 1 lb a month! Yes, one miserable pound every month! Hey, some of us are fighting some genes that just don’t want to give it up. I now know that it is true about stress/lack of sleep/etc. Even eating healthily wasn’t enough. Cut out the stress, get out and move your body in any way EVERY DAY, and try and get adequate sleep. Ultimately, I lost close to 30 lbs. Patience, forgive yourself when your weight wants to go two steps back after you go one step forward! Just keep making progress, it will happen! 6 days ago

Current Weight: 98.6 lbs.

Not sure if this is good, being as my role model is only 77 lbs. But Idk because a lot of that is muscle because of gymnastics… I am so confused!

I guess my main goal is to get rid of the layer of fat over my legs. I found out why they appear so chubby. I have a lot pf muscle on my legs, but the layer of flab over them causes them to look fat. I need to eat les carbs. :/ 6 days ago
