So JessicaW, you and I are officially weight loss buddies now.  How cool is that? lol. So just a little bit about me: Like I said, I'm 16 and 145. I'm 5' 2.75", though so I'm like really overweight. I have a soft-spot for sweet things and my favorite sport is tennis. It really sucks that its too cold around here to play right now. Ummm, I'm a junior and play the flute. So yeah. pretty awesome. I'm also a total fashion junkie, which is one of the reasons I'm trying to lose weight (whats the point in getting a D&G blouse if I look bad in it?). So what are some nifty things to know about you? |

My name is Jessica lol.\ I feel the same way about the fashion thing. I love shooping but hate trying things on cause thats when i realize how big i am erghh lol I love cookies. and have trouble saying no to junk food. i hae graduated school... dont know wat i want in the rest of life so yah thats always good lol im 164 ,, goal is 125 eventually haha |

I totally feel you about the cookies. If they were even remotely nutricious, I'd prolly live off them. And I don't know what I'm going to do when I graduate either. I mean, I know what I want to do in life and everything, I just don't know how to go about doing it...if that makes any sense... Today was really good (both food- and life-wise). I woke up late and was faced with the choice of taking a shower or eating breakfast. I decided I'd rather be hungry till lunch than dirty and gross till after school. lol. Fortunatly, today was "early lunch" Wednesday for those who're passing all their classes. So I had time to eat a good lunch and still get to the library and do some homework. Usually I have just enough time to run home, grab a piece of fruit or something, and go back. And I had a pretty small snack after school, so yay for me. I really need to do some exercise today, too, but I have NO idea what I'm going to do for that. I'm thinking if I'm motivated I'll clean my room so I can do an exercise video, and If I'm not I'll just go for a walk. Oh, yesterday was really good, too. I was uber-tired from staying up really late the last two nights, so I basically just went to be as soon as I got home. Haha, you can't eat when you're sleeping.  Another oh, I lost a pound since Monday cuz today I weighed 144.  Pretty excited about that. |

lol thats awesome about your one pound :)\ I weighed myself monday, and im usually obsessed with weighing myself. so i limited my self to about once a week. i was really tempted this morning but the one thing i can say no too hahha but yeah i like to do workout videos for some reason. plus cleaning im sure u lose quite a bit of calories doing that. well i gotta go to canadian tire lol so stay on track good to hear your doing well today was good, and yesturday but monday.. not too good. could be worse though lol p.s it made sense about going upon that. i ahve the same problem with a lot of other thingss. |

Sooo...about yesterday's exercise lol. As it turns out, I wasn't that motivated. So I went for a walk around my block 3 times and then I got cold and went inside (cuz I'm a big wuss of course ) I also binged a little yesterday. It wasn't quite as bad as some of the binges I've been having all month (literally thousands and thousands of calories), but it totaled up to about 1,300 cals (so about 3300 for the whole day. yuck.) Today's gone much better. I know I won't be eating anymore today cuz I'm going to bed soon as I get off this site, so no time to binge again. I ate about 1520 calories today (some of it junk, but some of it good stuff too). And I got off my buttocks today too! I took a 30 min walk  .I totally get you about the obsessive weighing!!  I'll weigh myself 3 times a day if I let me. But I usually don't cuz the afternoon numbers p*** me off just a little bit. lol So I just weigh once every morning. So like I'm kinda nervous and excited. I'm doing a group project in English that involves making a movie, and since I'm the only girl in the group, I get to play the girl character. But she's like really sickly and is kinda wasting away. Since I don't have many lines pretty much all my acting has be in my body and facial expressions. Unfortunately, I am pretty much the exact opposite of wasting away...I guess Im just like "Ahrg! How am I supposed to pull this off?" Its times like these I wish I was already thin.Congrats on doing well today and yesterday. Even if we have some slipups like on monday, as long as we have more good days than bad days, I know we'll get to our goals.  Last edited on 9 January 2009 05:45 am by sweet kisses |

Its okay we will reach our goals eventually :) I had McDonalds double cheese burger , and a hot dog . oh and popcorn with becel. so i didnt have a great day either. but its okay :) i think. i still feel good and i really think th\ts what matters :) |
|||||||

sweet kisses Senior Member

Ahhh, McDonalds, the killer of diets lol. And whats becel? I've never heard of it. Today was iffy. It started out fantastical and then I had kind of a binge at around 8:00. It wasn't too bad and I'll be able to easily work most of it off by the time I go to bed, it just makes me mad that I just had to have that much peanutbutter and who knew just one pillsbury biscuit had almost 200 calories? oh well. It could have always been worse right? |
|||||||
|
JessicaW New Member

lol its margarine, instead of real butter cause at the movies you have to pay for real butter so margarine t was lol McDonalds is the worst lol, smells so good but i always feel like #%@&! after eating it And that's not even just cause i want to lose weight . i dunno if u know what i mean lol Plus, it definitely could of been worse, plus i think peanut butter has a lot of protein(which equals energy) and keeps yiou fuller longer I think lol Well maybe tomorrow will be better? |
|||||||

I totally get what you mean about feeling like #%@&! after eating McD's. I quit eating fast food like 2 years ago (I think it was about 6 months before I went vegetarian), and I remember the last thing I had was a double cheesebuger with fries and for like 3 hours afterwards it felt like someone had dropped a bunch of rocks in my stomach. Eck. So like today and yesterday, pretty much all I've done is sleep and eat lots of chocolate.  Not so good. But today I wieghed myself and I'm down to 141! I'm kinda confused about it cuz that's 3 lbs in like 2 or 3 days and God knows I haven't been starving myself or even getting enough exercise or anything. I mean, I'm happy about it, I just don't know what to think of it... |

Mhmm. Well thats good though! |

So I did OK today I guess. It would've been better if it wasn't for stupid Pillsbury and Little Debbie.  I had a cinnamon roll and brownie, respectively. I have GOT to start checking the calories on those things before I eat them because I always underestimate them by almost 100 calories. It sucks. On the plus side, we went to Subway so I had a 6-inch veggie delight and 1/2 bowl of broccoli-cheddar soup. I got a footlong so I could have the other half after school tomarrow with the rest of the soup. Also, I did a "mini-workout" this morning that I want to integrate into my morning routine, so I'm pretty proud of that.  All in all, not perfect, but not certainly not awful. I'm also going to do some interval training after I get off the computer (haha, then again, how often do I say that and then not do it....I am serious this time though. Really really need to.)How've you been doing the past 2 days or so? Last edited on 13 January 2009 05:39 am by sweet kisses |

lol thats good that you got excercise in though.. So did you end up doing your interval training? Well.. I think ive done pretty good. Sunday, i dont remember what i ate .. possibly subway lol 6'' cold cut .. (lettuce, pickels, mayo, n sub sauce) and as much as everyone says mayo is bad for you, i have to get at least a little bit. otherwise it sucks lol. I've shovelled the drive-way, did an hour stationary biking (since i hate the canadian weather sometimes), plus i have a wii , and i only have the wii sports til i have more money but it def gives me a workout . I didnt play it yesturday tho to let my muscles rest they were very sore. But i plan onto today, i was going to weigh myself yesturday but i felt like #%@&! so i decided not to but i a going to today, after i go back to sleep and wake up again lol |

Weighed myself today and yesterday 160 and 162 woot. Went to my parents yesterday and my dad noticed :D did my measurements too yesterday i believe 38-39-41, measuring in 2 weeks . 28th-ish |

Well, for the interval training I got in about 7 minutes (5 cardio, 2 weights), but it was incredibly late and my bed was calling. lol. But it was something at least I guess. You exercise so much more than me lol. Its amazing. I don't know why I have such a hard time getting off my a**.... Congrats on the 4 lbs lost!!! You definately worked for it. So yesterday went pretty good. No exercise, but I had only about 1600 cals which I'm really glad about. I had a basketball game that I had to go to for pep band, and honestly didn't have time to eat or exercise. Today is going about as good, even better actually, and I'll have time to exercise if I decide to, so hopefully I won't have to come back here tomarrow and admit to a prize-winning late-night binge.  Also, I've managed to pass up no less than 4 donuts in the past 2 days, too!! Man, I love donuts. |

I'm 15, and weighed in this morning at 70,2 kg (sorry about the kilo thing but I am mostly European) But I started my journey at 75kg. My ultimate goal is around 60kg, but I try not to think about that cause that's just soooo long off! I'm a girl btw, and I live in Tanzania with my mother because of her work. I attend the Internationa School there (yes Tanzania is in Africa) Good thinking about the gym though, hope you break a sweat! |

Hi again :) Sorry for checking back so soon, but I just have to tell someone! I'm at 70kg now and I am sooo happy. That's 5kg gone now over the past 2 months, and 3kg from end of December to now. I am very happy, so from now 5kg more to go. I can't see much of a difference, but I do feel healthier and I fit my pants better! Do you guys feel any difference? How much have you lost since you started? I almost can't weight untill I can see a big difference... If I EVER get there if you know what I mean ;) |

I am sooo sorry for being gone so long you guys! I've been crazy busy with an English project and looking for a job that I haven't had time to even get on facebook, let alone anything else. lol. And welcome to our little group sqzee! Thats so cool that you live in Tanzania. What's it like there? I get what you mean about feeling so much better after losing some weight and taking care of yourself. Lately not so much because I've been taking really bad care of myself, but before christmas I was doing wonderful and it felt amazing. Man, Jessica, moving sucks balls. I totally give you a free pass for those four days lol. So are you moving in ok? I hope you like your new place. The fun part about going someplace new is all the people you get to meet. So the past 12 days have been really "eh". I've been doing really good during the school day, but when I get home I'm really hungry and binge something terrible. Everytime I've tried to write everything down to get a manage on it I just stop midway through the binge and forget what all I've eaten. I also haven't really exercised. Like I've been doing like jumping jacks and squats and stuff for like 10 minutes after school but thats about it. The plus side is I'm still 141 lbs so at least I haven't gained. I figured I'd gained like 3 lbs. |

Ok, so like the whole kg/lb thing was confusing me (Cuz I'm not the brightest bulb in the box) so I looked up a conversion calculator so I could see what all of us are in both lbs and kgs according to the last weight we've all posted: Jessica= 160 lbs =72.7 kgs Sqzee= 154 lbs = 70 kgs Sweet Kisses = 141 lbs = 64.1 kgs I suppose I could put us all in stones, too, but I think that would be taking it too far... |

Thanks so much for letting me join! I'm feeling way down now since the last 3 days I've been gaining weight. For no apparent reason. First I thought I ate too little because I had to stay after school and had no food with me and that my body had gone to starvation mode to keep the fat on, but then the next day I ate a lot to see if it helped, but I keep gaining? I really hope this does not continue. I kinda blame the peanut butter I have been eating on my carrots Anyway... Tanzania is beautifull. As ever. And it's not as you would expect, or even as I expected. It is a very poor country, but there is no war which is good. But I live in the 'rich community' or the expact community, so I rarely socialize with any 'normal/ordinary' tanzanian. The biggest difference from here and Cophenhaguen where I come from and used to live (I've also lived in the US in a suburb to NYC) is the community is sooo tiny. I only have the people at my school to speak to. In Denmark I had many friends from many different places. It's also very claustrofobic because everybody knows you. But feel free to ask about it, because that sure didn't explain a lot sorry! I totally understand about the forgetting what you ate thing. I do that too. If I don't have solid whole meals I eat a little all through the day, and without knowing I eat waaaay more than I should have. I hope I can check back next time and say I've lost what I gained! I'm 70,4 kg (154.66 lb) now, so hopefully next time it's a lower number |

That really sucks that you've been gaining weight. Lol, peanutbutter is often my culprit too. And wow, you've lived all over the place! My freshman year we had a foreign exchange student from Denmark and she said it was strange living in a small town, too. (Kansas is pretty much one long stretch of empty land dotted with tiny little towns). So yesterday I had around 2300 calories, which isn't great at all, but....I EXERCISED!! Hehe, I was watching the Austrailian Open all afternoon cuz I was home sick and I'll tell you what, pro-athletes are like the ultimate inspiration for getting off your butt. It was only 20 minutes of like jumping jacks and jogging in place and such, but it was the first time I've worked up a sweat in a while. |
|||||||

Good with the exercise! It's a bit better now, but not soo much. I'm afraid I've overeaten today because I forgot appels for school and was soo hungry that I ate doritos and some cookies from other people (#%@&! our unhealthy society). Not that many though, but then I came home and overate lunch. And because I was hungry so long, I think my metabolism shut down and I probably have gained weight tomorrow. Especially because I have also had a lot of salt today. But Kansas huh? That's far out. What's it like? Good healthy week to you all |
|||||||

sweet kisses Senior Member

Well one day isn't going to hurt you in the long run as long as you eat really well tomarow.  Also you could exercise extra tonght (well, I guess its much later where you're at so maybe not tonight) to make up for the extra calories. Kansas is probably the most boring place I've ever been honestly. Its just miles and miles of flat, dried up land. The people are pretty cool though. I guess living out here you have to develope your own interesting-ness to make up for the utter lack of it in the surroundings. So today and yesterday I'm doing pretty good. Proud about that. For my exercise yesterday I did about 25 minutes of stretching, which I know that's kinda cheating, but my muscles have gotten really tight lately and I need to limber up for tennis season (!!!) in the next like 2 months. Tonight I'm gonna go for a walk and possibly do some weight training. |

Well, there is a charm in big cities as well as small towns. Although I though Kansas was big? Hmm... My weight has gone down again, så I am very happy. I have a goal of 67kg by 25 febuary. (sorry don't have time to calculate lb, I'll be leaving in a bit ) I hope I reach my goal of course! I usually don't get much exercise, but yesterday I had P.E. which was swimming for an hour, and then I went out, but it was soo boring, and there were almost no people out last night, so us who were left resolved to dancing. And we danced for a looong time! And you sweat so easliy here argh! Do you have any short-term goals? |

Great to have you back Jessica! For me it went well a couple of days, I was 68,8 kg (151.36lb) But now I am 69,3 (152.46)! Ok, I know it might not sound as much, but I get so down when the scales go up! What could I possibly be doing wrong? Ihhh... Anyway, so today is my no sweets no snack day. I have assigned this day to that. I think I should do that at least once a week. So today: NO CHOCOLATE and NO SNACKS in between lunch and diner. Also I am going running this Saturday with a friend. Though she said we should also make fudge... Hmmm.. I'll control myself around the fudge then. And work #%@&! hard at running. Because the scales made me sad I tried my skinny jeans again. And I can close them. I can ALMOST breath in them, just like when I bought them. I can't wait for the day I am SKINNIER than my skinny jeans. Haha! Hope you guys are doing AWESOME. Am routing for you!  |

lol thanks I get depressed to, whn the scale goes up and have fun with the running, i cant stand running, i dont know why but ugh. I went on the treadmill last night i only ran like a minute at a time. i hope u get those skinny jeans comfortable for ya! Today is the second day into my three day diet.. the scale gave me a 161, so im pretty content with that and the scale i bought tells u the muscle percentage the fat % and the hydration and since it is kind of lke a fad diet you would like it would be more hydration loss , so i hopped on but my fat percentage went down and my hydration went up! so i am soo happy! |

What is your diet? And I wish I had a weight like that! Mine is horrible and can show big differences. But I just weigh myself like ten times moving the scale ten different places and then I take the number that showed the most Happy healthy wednesday! |

Welcome Back Jessica!! Its okay that you gained a bit as long as you're losing it back, which you are, so its all good. I'm curious about your 3-day diet too. I think i might've heard of it, but never knew exactly what it was.... Sqzee--I totally love your pic. It makes me smile. And good luck on getting into those skinny jeans! I had some skinny jeans that I could fit back into for like 5 minutes but then that darn x-mas came around and now I gotta get back into them. I really want to start wearing them to school by the end of February. So funny story for you guys. My mom got some cheese bite things from Swans last week. We had some each night as a snack for a couple days, and all of a sudden we both gained like 10 lbs each! So we threw out the rest of the cheese bites and stayed away from sodium-y foods for several days, thinking the weight gain was water weight. We could not get back down to our normal weights at all though! So last night I was thinking about it in bed and messin with my hips and realized, if I had actually gained 10 lbs I wouldn't be able to feel my hip bones anymore (when I lie down I can feel but not see my hipbones--and I play with them when I can't sleep cuz its amusing lol) So I got my weights and sat them on the scale (at like 2 in the morning ) and found out the calibration on the scale had gotten off by 10 lbs. So my mom and I spent like 6 days freaking out for nothing lol. So after I re-calibrated the scale last night, guess what I found out. I actually lost 2 lbs. Which is funny cuz all week I thought I was binging really bad but apparantly I wasn't at all. |

I meant scale not weight... Sorry it's just scale and weight are the same words in danish! Anyway, nice job Sweetie! Or what is your name actually? 2 Ilbs is great!I was up, but I am down again, so that is good. I still weigh myself every day, but from now on I will not be upset when I have gained, because as long as I am doing everything right, I know I can't have gained and that it is just normal fluctuations. Right now foodwise I think I am ok. I AM losing weight and doing it at the right pace and everything. I just feel like I should be seeing it on my body. And I also get discouraged by how much I have to loose. It will take so much time! And I will have to be strong all the way through. I think I have to get my goals straight. I need to break them down again so I can gain a little perspective. I'm sorry this is suuuch a long post, but anyway: I weighed in at 68.9kg (151.58lb) this morning. I am trying to reach 67kg (147.4lb) by the 25. of Feb because my friend in Denmark and I have set the same goal of that. After 67kg, I think I will go for 65kg(143lb) Then to not make life too hard on myself I will go for 62kg(136.4lb) then 60kg (132lb) after this I don't know. I think somewhere between 55 and 60. I am at a healthy BMI at 60, but it is in the high end. So we'll see. But glad I got those goals down. Now you guys are here to force me through it! Oh the time.. the time... But I'll try not to think about that and just push through, because I can't give up now can I? Nice healthy/lovely/slimming/wonderful/fun weekend to you both! |

Give up the diet maybe, but continue to eat healthy and within your calories. Do you caloriecount or what do you do? What is frustrating? If the fluctuations on the scale bother you, then weigh yourself once a week instead of every day. I almost had a meltdown a couple of days ago because I had gone up, but it's just the body's fluids and how long it takes you digestive system to digest that particular food you ate. I've decided to only look at the weights as numbers and then over a week see if it has gone down. In other words, I am happy if I loose weight, but not upset if I gain unless I have gained over the whole week. |

Yeah ive decided not to. I dont calorie count, cause i find it to hard. and i always forget. and i was doing really well with not weighing myself all the time! but now im even worse then before, like everytime i go to the bathroom that scale calls my name! and even in the morning it was up, im never like that! but i measured myself today, ive lost half inch around the chestal area lol and one inch off my belly, my hips nothing, but its ok i have no butt so i think it makes it look better lol, although i hate my inner thighs! but i do have more ab definition even though i still have a lot of fat. i can still see them trying to show. plus i have plans with this hot guy next weekend that i haven't seen in a long time, so i wanna look really hot! (i am taken, but doesn't mean i cant look good right? lol, my bf will be there to) so im doing the three day diet again on monday, and and i got out my puzzle,4 books and lots of gum!! to keep me occupied from snacking when im not suppose to. i did have mcdonalds today but its okay. maybe im just really down cause ive been stuck in this hotel as it seems like foreverr. lol and thx for encouragement how are you guys doing? |

sqzee--I love how you've got mini-goals already planned out. And I think they're some pretty reasonable goals that, if you set your mind to it, you'll be able to reach before you know it. Jessica--Congrats on losing some inches! Its really not so much about the number near as much as its about how you're body looks and feels. And I agree with you about counting calories being a tedius (i think I spelled that wrong...) process. Its really not any fun. And have fun with your boyfriend and your hottie guy friend next weekend! So last night was a basketball game and winter formal! The day was weird. Like I was all excited up until my last class and then all of a sudden I was just really tired and stressed and just wanted to curl up with a book and not do anything. For no reason at all. Then during 2nd quarter of the boys game (girls played first and then boys) I was all hopped up and full of energy again. I say it was weird cuz I never have mood swings like that throughout the day. Usually however I feel within the first 2 hours of the day is how I feel ALL day. Anyway, the dance was a blast! Everyone was sooo pretty! My feet still hurt from dancing all night in those shoes I was wearing lol. I really really loved my dress, too. I even felt as pretty as all my cheerleader friends. Food wise, the past couple of days have been more relaxed. Its been less about eating to lose weight, and more about eating to feel good and be satisfied. So there's been some junkfood--yesterday I had a bunch of potatoe ole's but I didn't gorge or anything. I stopped when I was satisfied. And I've been eating lots of fruits and veggies and not "binging" at all. I was going over my past "food records" realized I always lose weight the best when I'm relaxed about what I'm eating--not counting calories, not freaking out over every bite of junkfood--just eating what tastes and makes me feel good and listening to my body and especially my stomach. Now I just need to get off my buttocks and exercise lol. Sorry for the long post. Just a lot to talk about. |

lol i dont mind, gives me somethin to do. but im glad about your happy with your food im sure you lost plenty of calories dancing on the dance floor haha you guys heard of the 30 day shred? by Jillian Micheal's (trainer from biggest loser) today was my first day, its soo good. plus its on youtube for free if you wanted to check it out its amazing, and only 20 minutes! |

The dance sounds as if it was fun! Lucky you, I always end up standing in a corner feeling sorry for myself. And it's good to be relaxed, after all, we should be eating healthy all are lives not just when we are trying to loose weight. We're all different though, and for me counting calories has been the best. I guess on the weight of what I eat (or I weigh it once, and go with an average of that if I eat it again) and then I type it into this online program and it measures how many calories for me. After some days or a week I got the feel of how many calories in are what. Now I do it once in a while if I'm afraid I've gone over of if I think I need to get back on track. I would watch the youtube video, but my internet is sooo slow, it takes 30 min to load the video. I may watch it later though, but is it pretty intense or what? I am just mortified with the thought of any exercise almost  My running was cancelled as well, which really sucks...But the weight is down today 67,9kg (149.38lb) but since there is no exercise today I am sure I'll gain  Good work though you guys And no obsessive food anything! We're doing this to better our lives for the future as well |

Jessica, I would totally watch that workout, but my computer's slightly retarded and won't load youtube videos at all. Its kinda gay. I'll have to see if I cant find it somewhere else or on a different computer... Sqzee, congrats on seeing a new, low weight. And hopefully it'll stick. I almost never exercise and somehow my low weights manage to stick, so maybe your's will too.So I think I MIGHT'VE taken my whole "relaxing about eating" thing too far yesterday. I had some pizza I know I didn't need and ate till I was a little too full that evening. But today's been much better; I've been paying extra attention to my body and eating just what I need. Lots and lots of veggies. Also, my muscles were feeling antsy, and instead of ignoring it like I usually do, I did 20 minutes of weight training . Hehe, and I ran up and down the stairs a couple times just for the fun of it too. I'm thinking about going for a nice walk tonight. Exercise is much funner when you stop looking at it as something you're forced to do to fit into your jeans and start looking at it as something you're body really wants to do. |

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't checked in for long. I've been on a school trip and eaten everything I shouldn't and more... Which is not good, but the trip was just 2 days and I've gained, but managed not to gain a full kilo (almost though, but not quite there ) I will work very hard to get it off again, and more!How's it going for you? Happy healthy thursday! |

Me neither. Went down 100g this morgning, but yesterday I weighed myself in the middle of the day, so I thought I'd be lower, but no... I'll try to stay away from too much food today and be under my calorie amount. I will try to keep green today, fruits and veggies! I saw the youtube video and even tried it myself. Though I don't have any weights so I gave up. Your heart rate really spikes! I admire youreffort Jessica! I want to go swimming (for the exercise as well) this weekend with some of my friends on this tropical island close by, but I'm afraid I might snack too much on the trip. But then I thought if I stay in the water I can't snack can I? |

Ive been trying to not to eat as much, so i made a paper that says "Jessica you are not sexy!!", n put it on the fridge! so hopefully that keeps me motivated and/or to stop me from going into the fridge! I know, i dont have any weights either, but yes it is brutall!  lol exactly "Im not getting out of this water!|" lol i can just imagine it haha |

Haha! Your post made me laugh 2 times! I made a note on my fridge as well, but it was very long and asks me questions if I am really hungry and stuff. Maybe yours would actually work, because mine is so long I ignore it now. 'Sara you are not sexy'! Haha, or maybe it should say 'Sara you will be sexy' or something a bit more positive? (yeah I am Sara by the way )I did stay in the water for long haha! But I ate french fries, but I was seriously in the water for more than 2 hours swimming, and I did tennis. Had some chocolate as well and a lot of peanutbutter on my carrots, I might as well confess. But I had it in reasonable amounts, except maybe the fries. I still think I ate less calories than burnt so that is good. Also healthy. I'm optimistic at least! Hope you guys had a good day as well! |

lol yeah its quite the motivation lol, its in HUGE bubble letters lol just make sure your mom is okay with it :) . yeah the will be sexy is more positive but more negative work better for me lol Plus you did do a lot of excercise that day so that is awesome I dont feel very well since yesterday afternoon (after KFC) (prolly what made me sick) so i dont know how much ill be eating today, yesterday i had a kfc meal and some fries at dinner (and some alcholic beverages) but man was my stomach in overload, i dont know what was wrong, but it kinda sucked that it happened yesterday cause it was valentines dinner, so it woulda been nice to have a nice dinner with my boyfriend but just couldnt do it. But maybe ill lose some weight (if i am sick for more than like a week) haha anwyays, happy be-lated valentines day ladies.! lol |

It's ok to stray from the diet on special occastions, Jessica. Don't beat yourself up at all, as long as you are back on track today/tomorrow. You're lucky (you probably deserve it though ) to have someone to spend valentines with, what's his name? I'm still struggeling with the 800g I put on while on the school trip. 300 were gone the day after the next, but I'm at the same weight for the 3rd day in a row! Never tried that, I either go up or down, not the same. But I am staying strong. I am wearing my still too tight skinny jeans to remind me what I am fighting for I definately want more on the exercise front. I want muscles now. And I want to be fit not just healthily-eating. I am really trying to STAY ON TRACK, completly today. Nothing that is bad for me, and not to much of anything. I also might squeeze in some swimming/running, but I am definately doing tennis unless it's cancelled. I am at my mom's work right now because I am trying to force myself to do homework (yet I am posting on the internet instead d'oh). I want to get it of my concience really, and I brought nothing unhealthy so I should be right on track. I'm lucky to have you guys to share with Some things that seem so irrelevant are important for me to get out there for some reason. Happy healthy valentines month  |

FRIG i accidentally closed the page, and i have to start all over again ! Anyways, so im not really beating myself up, i do kind of still feel guilty for not at least eating some healthy stuff that day Plus today i think there's like a pc of the roof of my mouth missing cause it hurts soo much when i hit it with food, or my toothbrush so we`ll see how much i can get down today. i was with my bf kyle, tht ive been with for 1yr n 5mths as of yesterday I himm :)The only place other than maybe my arms is my abs, and in the mornings if i stand up straight i can see the lineson my sides slightly appearing IM SOO EFFING EXCITED and i only do about 50-70 situps (depends how they feel which determins how many i do) about every other day. Anyways im off to see the wizard lol P.S Nothing is irrelevant       |

Wow Jessica that's a loong time. That must be some real love You can probably see your muscles as well because you've lost weight, before they where just hidden under the fat. I decided not to weigh myself until this friday. And I decided to be very very good foodwise and exercisewise. I played tennis monday, ran yesterday, and did volleyball today. I am running tomorrow and I borrowed a workout video that I might use on friday. I am running again saturday but that's all I have planned. That is really improvement! I am looking up some running programs with intervals and stuff so I eventually can run far and long! Because I am not to fit to start with. Food is pretty good as well. Have kept myself from a lot of stuff. But I don't know if I have lost weight friday because I might have gained muscle. But I am very happy with my effort so far... Where are you Sweetkisses? When you are back we can all update our 'stats' weight-wise or whatever, but it has to be after friday morning of course I hope I've lost friday, I can't wait to get closer to a healthy BMI. |

I think its real love, hes a pain in A%s but meh lol Well the top part of my belly ive lost like an inch or more, middle of my belly ive lost one inch but the pouch at the bottom of my tummy has gotten no where!  So that sounds like a lot of exercise just thinking about it haha I well on the other hand have done really nothing, yesterday i did half of the 30 day shred thingy and went up 7 sets of stairs but thats it Food, may have not been fast food, but i eat a lot lol Actually i do awesome until my boyfriend gets home. . . thats why i refrain as much food until he gets home, so my calories dont sky rocket. Friday sounds good too me, and hopefully shes back by then :) and i agree with you i defitley want a healthy non-overweight BMI! |

So yah! Very succesful day and couple of days for me. Now, Sweetie hasn't checked in, but I better post before I forget! Stats: Starting Weight (December 2009): 75kg (165 lb) or a little above... Goal: 55-60kg (121-132lb) Weight this Monday: 68,5kg (150.7 lb) Weight today!: 67,2kg (147.84lb) Weight lost to date: 7,8kg (17.16lb) BMI: 26,3 Running ability: 5 min if not tired, and get very tired... Running Goal: 30 mins without getting tired, mini-goal 15min Imediate goals: 67kg by 25. feb. Fit my skinny jeans. Be a healthy BMI So I hope that was ok! I am very very happy with today, after the hard work I put in the past few days, with such a loss though, it was totally worth it! And I was afraid I'd gained... But this shows me I am in control, and can't let the food control me. I've also started running, and I am very happy with my effort I hope I can continue, and I hope I do not gain tomorrow, if I decide to weigh myself. I might not, and wait another 4 days again. Though I won't be so tough on myself, I have been eating little (enough, but little). I am very optimistic and happy I am doing this for myself. Guys think... we are doing something amazing for ourselves at the right age! We are very strong and stubborn, in a good way! We are, if I may give myself a compliment within a compliment, amazing and nothing less for pulling ourselves together.Hope you both are doing great, but I trust that you are. Let som of my postitive energy fly across the sea to you both! |

lol its not December 2009 yet :P i know what you mean tho WOW that is a GREAT WEEK, IM PROUD, GOOD JOB. << i dont know what that is sorry I defitley agree with you on doing it at the right age, its definitely better now then later, with faster metabolism, instead of working 2ice as hard when were older So i got 165 this morning but ive lost inches Beginning 38 -Bust 34- underneath my chest 36- around my bellybutton 39- underneath my bellybutton 41-hips Currently 37- Bust 32-U/N Chest 35-bellybutton 38 1/2 - underneath my bellybutton 401/2- hips So ive lost 5 inches, im def not going by pounds anymore cause like its up one pound still so. Im def not going by numbers of the scale :P plus, one of the things that sucks about being a girl is around this week :( started today as well with my sickness so im sick with my period ugh, i feel like poo lol My goal for inches tho is, 36, 30 (all the way down my tummy, although i may know that the pouch at U/N the bellybutton will prolly bigger so mybe another inch?) and 38 hips and/or even less is great lol except my chest lol anyways yeah *slurp* i slurped your positive energy thanks |

Your goals are great. I wish I could be bothered to measure myself it would save me a lot of grief haha! So I'm down 100g today but I've had a bad day and afraid it will be up tomorrow. I don't think I'm over my calorie amount but my body thinks it's funny to store weight even when I've done everything correctly And I went running today. In Africa's heat and dirt roads (ok this one was actually tarmacked, but I couldn't run on that part because that's where the cars come!) Anyway, I really felt as if I was dead at the end and could definately not understand how I possibly still could be breathing... Very, very hard, I have never sweat soo much in my life... And I am doing it again monday! I also did a Tae Bo workout video yesterday, and since I have no exercise planned for tomorrow I will do it again tomorrow, but I do feel sore from yesterday. I am considering doing that 4-day be very very good thing again from tomorrow because I have my 67kg set for the 25 of feb. Or I might do a 3-day be very good thing from tomorrow. So I'll weigh myself tomorrow and then again tuesday and wednesday so I'm sure I don't have a freak weigh-in day the 25. and think I haven't reached my goal. I have to get used to weighing myself less and just enyoing myself. I liked not doing for 4 days though it was kind of hard actually (another thing I had to stay away from ), but very gradifing at the end and let me focus on eating healthy instead of my weight. I'm addicted to CPH or something! Oh well... I might check in tomorrow too, who knows. Good weekend to you all! |

Hey girls! I was hoping that I could join you in encouraging each other with weight loss. I'm having some difficulty staying motivated. :0 Right now I weigh 155 pounds and I am hoping to lose about 30 pounds this year. I'm a fellow woman myself in need of support :) |

I'm glad to have you, but we might just have to see with the other girls as well. So your age, how tall are you, where do you live, why do you think you are overweight? How far have you come til now? Or just tell us some general information Your goals mabye as well (tsk, tsk, I ask toooo many questions)Anyway, for my overall update. I did a work-out video today, but have been snacking a bit and ate a lot of freshly-baked bread with butter just before, and feel kind of sick to my stomach. I will have to have fruit or something for dinner to compensate, I'm not hungry so it should be fine (as long as I stick to it). Afraid I'll gain because of it. But so be it, I've already planned what to do to help. Sometimes you slip up and that's just that. As long as I don't quit. And was down 100g again today (very happy me 100g from my goal) I might weigh myself tomorrow to see if I've reached it, and then start my 4 days or not weighing if I have. I do feel slimmer and smaller than before. More at peace with my body. But I have so much going on around me as well, I think maybe concentrating on this helps me focus and lets me know that I can do anything I set my mind to. And I forgot to mention my running friend and her mother and father are thinking of climbing Kilimanjro (Africa's tallest mountain) this summer and she said I might be able to go with them. I wanted to go with the school, but I did not feel (and was not) fit enough so I didn't sign up. But if I continue running and get more into shape, then I might be able to! I am so happy, it has really been a dream since I moved to Tanzania. And its another thing to work for, even more motivation. |

Hey! I'm 19 years old and I'm 5'4. I live in New York City and I'm a classical pianist. :) I think I'm overweight because I'm remember being my healthiest when I was 14 and 15 and playing 2 hours (plus more) of soccer everyday. Now I barely have time to work out let alone eat at normal times due to my very hectic schedule! I have tried losing weight for the past year and have been up and down 15 pounds but this time I want it to stick! I'm hoping for some encouragement and giving some as well. :) I hope I can join you all! |

I have a compulsion to post now here so often... Well, better then a compulsion to eat right? I reached my semi-goal this morning 67kg (147.4lb). But it was exactly 67,0 so I'll count it as a real reached goal if I weigh the same or under tomorrow. My next goal is 64-65kg (140.8-143)by the end of March start of April. Did not go running today (or do any exercise), my friend cancelled but I am doing volleyball tomorrow and running thursday. I am very sore in my legs, so I think it was ok that we took a break. I think I did well with food. Ok at least. My stomach is getting slimmer I can see that, but I am most happy with the running. We had P.E. and I did way more than I knew I could have done maybe not long ago! Still, I have points where I am just so tired of it. I know I have to keep going, but its a struggle sometimes (of course, if it wasn't I wouldn't be fat!) And not many people have said anything and sometimes I just feel like I'm imagining my weight loss... GH- I used to live near New York (and I love New York to pieces) And a classical pianist, wow! Music is such a wonderful thing and if you can do anything instrumental it is just fantastic. Its art flowing from your fingers basically... Anyway, how's it going? What do you do? Calorie count (do this myself, big supporter!) or a specific diet? Do loads of exercise? If you are worried about having time for exercise then I can say you don't have to exercise to loose weight, but it does boost it. Have some good slimming days girls! |

HEY! Yes NYC is wonderful! I'm a student here so it makes it so much better because I can go to wonderful concerts for very cheap prices. How long did you live here for? Ah I'm an avid calorie counter as well except for when I totally binge and then I'm too sad to check how many calories I actually consumed. :0 I'm part of a gym and I try to go at least 3 or 4 times a week but it can be very crazy! Today was a bad day for me :( I'm really stressed because I have midterms this week and I like to stress eat - so terrible! I'm going to try to stay strong and eat well tomorrow! So can I know a little bit about you? Do you play an instrument? DO you like classical music? hehe JW, because music is A HUGE part of my life! :) Last edited on 25 February 2009 01:19 am by gh9697 |

 Yeah! Woot Woot JW! Or whatever you say! Good job on the loss! I used to live in Larchmont but I doubt you know where that is I did not weigh myself today, but will tomorrow, I hope I've lost at bit. I did running today and was amazed at what I could do! Seriously, 3 weeks ago I struggled with 5 minutes. Today I did 8 and could still talk. And then I did 8 again!!! Think I've done ok foodwise, am pretty happy with how it's going. Uh ohh said it, now it'll be bad tomorrow... I hope not! |

HI YOU GUYS!!! Sorry its been soooo long. My dad got a computer and its taken a really long time to get everything switched over and all. ahhh, very stressful. But its all cool cuz the new computer kicks a**. So I'm really glad you guys are having success! I'm not doin too shabby myself. Last week I exercised for an hour 3 times and for a half hour twice. Then this Sunday I got strep so I haven't exercised this week. I'm still technically sick but I'm so drugged up that I feel well enough and you guys are making me motivated enough that I really want to do at least like 20 or 30 minutes of something by the end of the night. There is a good thing about the strep, and that's that I haven't been hungry at ALL since Sunday. Or if I was hungry, I was hurting so much everywhere else that I didn't notice. Today's the first day I've eaten more than a muffin or a sandwich since I've been sick. And I've eaten a lot today (especially donuts). But its okay, I'll be back to maintaining more healthy and normal eating patterns tomarrow. And today I weighed 137 pounds. Super happy about that. I'm not gonna make my goal for the challenge, but I can handle being off by one or two pounds. And welcome to our little group gh! I think its soo cool that you're a classical pianist. I play flute, but I've always wanted to learn piano and I'm totally jealous of my friends that do. Haha, my hands are so small I have to stretch to reach where I need to on my flute (so cannot wait to play piccilo next year). Whose you're favorite composer? Mine's probably Mozart or Tchaikovsky. Anway, I need to go cuz my sister wants to try out the new computer. I'll have to make a chart of my progress here in the next day or two like you guys huh. Good luck you guys and keep it up! |

SQZEE: I’ve head of Larchmont! Hehe, I went to a music camp around there last summer. SW: That’s funny because I always wanted to play the flute, but I couldn’t. ): I love so many composers so it’s hard for me to pick one or two because each composer offers something different. I kind of go through phases and right now it’s probably Shostakovich and Ravel, but that’s probably because my history class is on 20th century composers right now. HAHA, anyways.. Jessica: congrats on your pound loss :) every pound counts! I just finished up with midterms and now I have two weeks off of school so I’m hoping to set some good habits. I finally went back to the gym today, I haven’t been there in a week because of my crazy test schedule. I just weighed myself today and I gained a pound, ): but I will LOSE it. My weight now is 156.8 and I’m hoping to lose 5 pounds within these next two weeks! I’ll keep you updated! Last edited on 2 March 2009 03:44 am by gh9697 |

loseweightnow--of course you can join our group. lol its gettin to be like a party up in here or something. So what's your stats and all? So I guess I might've been dehydrated when I weighed 137 because I went back up to 140 like a day later. It makes me sad. But on the other hand, I've been doing pretty well food wise and I exercised for like 80 or 90 minutes Saturday, an hour on Sunday, and I did some situps and jumping jacks yesterday. Plus today I've got plans to go on a bike ride and do some running at the track. So I'm pretty stoked about that. I'm sure with the exercise and all I'll be losing weight properly now instead of just bouncing around between 140 and 143. Also I'm really, really excited because I got my prom dress! Well, technically not yet, because I got it from an online vintage shop, but its mine and I'll be getting it here in the next week or so. I really can't wait for Prom, I was talking to some friends on the committee and apparantly its gonna be really awesome this year. |

Wow, so many people now! And nice to know someone who knows Larchmont! I always live in places no one knows where is! My week has not been the best. It has been pretty bad actually. I am not understanding why I can't do as I did before. The energy has run out for some reason. I have not been able to run because the friend I run with is in London right now but we are doing a fitness unit in P.E. and I ran 12 min!!!! That is longer than ever! I can see it helping and I am soo proud. I know I couldn't have done it before. I haven't been snacking badly but I have been snacking in healthy foods, but I shouldn't be snacking at all! I am just having a hard time and the scales are all over the place. Depressing. And I just feel fat. Like I am fatter than when I started loosing weight? Is that normal or is it just me? I feel like there is no change in the mirror almost. |

Thank you very much=) ok so my nick name is ci ci. i live in Kansas sweetkisses you live in ks right? i am 16 yrs old i weigh 123lbs (im 5'2 or 3) and i want to lose the 23lbs....and pls dont tell me thats a good weight because its not the number really for me its the way it looks on me and i think it looks horrible...its mostly on my thighs (ugh) and my chest area and now its starting to come to my stomach :(. Im not trying to be anorexic i promise... the reason im saying all this is because ive heard it all before and i dont wanna hear it again and im doing this for me not for anyone else....and i hope u guys understand what i mean... you know that feeling you get when u look at ur self and ur like ewww what am i thinking letting it get this far or not liking any close you try on or if ur like me and u get most of the fat on ur thighs u look down when ur sitting down and u c this huge fat on the chair and ur like omg thats mine lolz (i hope that didnt make me sound anorexic cuz im not i promise and ill never be i love food too much). btw just to let u no someone told me i was getting fat few months ago and ive gained more since then so even tho im not like overweight im still bigger than i used to be so..i need to lose it and the other reason is im going bac to ethiopia(thats in Africa) one day(dont no when) and every1 there is skinny so i dont want to worry about that when i get there i just want to have funn. oh i forgot to mention i am ethopian i moved here about 4yrs. and 10 months ago. btw sqzee u live in Tanzania...how do u like it there? ok so i eat special k cereal and silk soy milk(vanilla) for breakfast; vegi burger or salad for lunch (its nasty) and ppand j for dinner or ethiopian food....and the only reason i sound like a vegan right now is cuz its fasting time for my religion and those r the only things im allowed to eat. im sorry i talk to much so tell me a little about ur selves ever1 i would luv 2 hear about ur lives also...? :) |

You ethiopians and your strange diet habits! And your fasting! Haha! No, actually I think it is very cool, I love culture displayed in that way, I really do. And my favorite restuarant is actually ethiopian! Right here in Dar es Salaam called Addis in Dar :) Really loooovely food, and the way you eat! And the way they wash your hands for you and everything, brilliant. But I do urge you to reconsider if you want to loose that much weight. I see you are short, but many people in there teens misjudge fat and slim for some reason! Nobody's thighs look thin when they are sitting down, trust me! They aren't supposed to, it's called gravity! I have seen in another buddy group someone turn bulimic where this person to start with explained how she knew she was in the right range but 'just wanted to loose a few pounds'. It's scary that it can happen, and I hope you don't let it! How about focusing on being healthy and making smart food choices and good exercise rather than the actual weight loss? Maybe you should just tone up? Have some nice abs and lovely slim legs (yes this helps your thighs as well) Although toneing up might make you gain weight because of the muscle gain, but that shouldn't matter. Anyway, Tanzania is ok. The country is great but socially at school I am not doing too well, and that is my only complaint. But there is not as much culture here as in Ethiopia as far as I understand, but I've onley lived here 1 year, not even! I wish I could visit there once (I want to visit every country in the world! So no suprise there) The capital in Ethiopia is Addis Ababa right? Are you from there or somewhere else? Sending you motivating thoughs for when you get the munchies |

SQZEE-haha thats really cool that you know so much and love ethiopian culture so much....and yes addis abeba is the capital city of ethiopia and that is where im from....btw i was jw how come u live in Tanzania? are u caucasian or african? and do u go to an american school there or typical tanzanian school/ so You say ur having social issues ok so....me when i 1st came here i hated it like crazy i still do but like a little less cuz at the beginning i didnt know what i was doing and what was going on i mean 1) everything is so freaking different here 2) i spoke the language and all but still it was really different from what i was used to...and like i didnt make real true friends until i was here for almost 3 years i mean i made friends and all but it was just fake u no so i didnt really like it and i wasnt happy at all.... but after i made friends everything kind of got a little better after 3 yrs lolz but i stil dont like it here cuz i really dont think this place is for me its really boring and there is no culture here and i like culture. and the true friends i made are all from different countries (mostly middle eastern and asian but i also have friends from aall over the place) but like what the point im trying to make is it takes time like honestly u just have to be patient... and in the mean time try talking to people u think u might have something in common with... oh and i tried tonning up but its not working for me like what do i have to do? and i cant get slim legs cuz i dont have the exercise machines and my dad never lets me out of the house (my parents are really strict) so i cant run outside so the only other choice i have is dieting..:(..and my diet pretty much does consist of eating healthy and all so u dont have to worry about that....but thanks:) EVERYBODY-so what's ur guys status...like how much did u weigh when u first started? ur diet, how much do u weigh now? and what did u do? cuz nothing seems to work for me and i just want to hear ur guys success.... |

Welcome 'loseweightnow'! So I've lost one pound and worked out for 45 minutes today - 15 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes on the treadmill. I burned 350 calories! Before Jaunary first I was 160 and now I'm 155. For some reason whenever I hit 150, I always go back up and its quite frustrating but this time I will continue down into the 140's! I've changed a couple of things in my lifestyle. A major thing is not eating at 7pm for me. Sometimes I cheat, if I'm really hungry but after 7 I'm pretty inactive and all that food just sits in my stomach until morning. I also track how many steps I walk everyday using a pedometer. My goal is 10,000 steps although I usually get between 6,000 to 8,000 daily. (I go to school in NYC, so there is much walking to be done!) A major setback for me is eating real meals. I'm always on the go and so I usually wiill pick something up from a deli or my cafe. I'm working on adding more greens in my diet. So what about everyone else? Are there things that help you lose weight and things that prevent you? |

Hey ladies It would be nice to know your names, so we don't have to call each other by our usernames. My name is Sara. Anyway. About TZ. I live here because my mom is the consul of the danish embassy here. She works for the ministry of foreign affairs of Denmark. Which also why she has lived in US for a long while where she gave birth to me! My father is Tuniesien so yes I am actually african, but not black african. I go to the international school of tanzania, its the only good education avaliable. The problem at school is that I guess I can't open up and be an interesting person, or maybe I just am not an interesting person, the end result is anyway that I do not have many friends I can actually stand... I am pretty depressed at the moment about that, I miss my friends and stuff... And I don't know, I think it is affecting my eating. Weight stats are the same as last time I wrote them unfortunately the 20th feb. I've lost 8kg (17lb) since December. My running on the other hand has this week improved. What do I do? To start with I played volleyball 1½ hours a week and tennis 2 times a week 1 hour, so that was my activity before I even lost weight. Then I completely changed my dinner to something more healthy with lots of veggies. I cook tons of stir-fry wok food! Yes there is some oil and some sauces but as long as you are clever with the amounts this can still be a kcal-light meal. My estimate was to have half of it veggies and the other half could be noodles or meat. With this I lost 2kg (4.4lb) I think, with only changing my dinner. But some might have been water-weight. Then I started thinking it was worth while and I started really thinking about my eating. Then I found a calorie-counting site and it helped me so very much! My best advise to you guys is find a site like it and begin tracking your food and how many calories you eat per day. I just estimate so don't worry about being too accurate. I don't type in my calories every day, but to start with it was very good for me to learn the kcal content of my food so I could see what food I could buy on my kcal-budget! So that is the techinical part of it. You have to make sure you eat less calories than you burn. Then comes the motivation. I made some rules. Like deciding my portions should be the size of the small plates we have. Then I said I could have chocolate, but only 4 small pieces of the really dark kind I like. No eating lunch at school, but instead waiting till I come home. No extra calories from drinks, so drank mostly water. Might have had some juice, but as a sweet snack not as something to help my thurst. I would also talk to myself if I was really craving. Like tell myself out loud why I was doing it and what I actually gained from that extra piece of chocolate or bread. I have also found some people I would like to look like, and I have them as a motivation daily! Also putting away your plate and the food when you have had your first (and only!) portion helps you to not want or need any more. Also drinking a lot of water, this does not help you loose fat, but if your body does not get enough water it will hold it and you will weigh more. Salt also binds water to the body. I am not a poster-child for weightloss and my diet does not actually consist of most fruits and veggies, but I do try to get them into my diet instead of other foods. I like them as a snack, and also the more fruits and veggies you eat, the more you like the taste of them. I have found that when I started eating healthier food, food tastes so much better! My taste-buds have been reborn. Exercise I am not so familiar with, other than what I mentioned, but as I have described earlier I also run now. And I have P.E. So I guess I would have to say yes you have to exercise. But it can be fun! I love sports and especially volleyball, but since I can only do that once a week I also do tennis. And running is wonderful! Its like instant results. I am better each time and P.E. class is almost fun now because I am not out of breath! If you can't run outside (though I don't get at all why you're not allowed outside in the states?!) then do step-ups on some steps or something. Buy a work-out video, I use a Tae Bo one sometimes but it is not that much cardio meaning it trains muscle which I imagine is what you want loseweightnow right? Get involved in a community sport as well. It can really be fun and an enrichment to your life. But also such classical things as walking instead of driving. Taking the stairs. Standing instead for lying. Too long a post! I know, hope you make through it. Will now do and pump up my gym ball my mom just brought home for me yah!! Good weekend! |

So I lost a lb yestday, which means I weigh 139 lbs. I started this last fall at 144 and I keep losing and gaining back the same 5 or 6 lbs since then. I think what has been causing it is I've been very sporadic with my eating and exercise patterns, and even when I have been exercising it hasn't been enough. So now what I am doing is I am paying very close attention to my body and simply eating according to that. The only calories I actually count are junkfood calories and I'm trying to keep those under 300 for the St. Patty's Day Challenge. I've also started exercising 1 hour a day, 5 days a week this week. Realizing I can even go for an hour is very motivating because I haven't really tried to since I was on the tennis team last year. I thought I was too out of shape to do that much. But apparantly I'm not and its great. I'm very sore though, lol, but I suppose that'll go away in another week or two. And loseweightnow, I don't see a problem with you losing the 23 lbs. I'm about the same height as you and my goal weight is around 100-103. As long as we do it healthily it shouldn't be a problem at all. As for exercising, since you can't go out to do it or anything, I do most of my exercising at home too. I use my mom's workout videos sometimes and sometimes I do workouts that I've gotten off youtube (when my youtube works.) If you look up the diet.com workouts and ford model workouts, you should find some good ones. And I agree with you that Kansas is very boring. I miss being close to several cities where I could get some culture. Although where I'm at we do have a significant straight-out-of-mexico and first-generation mexican american population so there is a lot of mexican coulture around here, and its very nearly a bi-lingual community.Ahhh!!! I am crazy impatient for my dress to get here! I want to try it on now d*** it! lol. It should be here before Tuesday or so, so not too much longer to wait. And since Sarah wants to know, my name's Nicole. (shhhh...don't tell anyone. ) |

Hehe, I wrote everyone's name down on a piece of notebook paper so I can't forget. Or if I do, I can just look at my paper and be all like "aha!" So today is a really hard day. I just have the insane urge to eat everything in the house. So I'm on here to distract myself and plus you guys are such great motivation for me. I'm really happy with myself though, because I lost a lb last night, which means I'm still doing something right. I really really want to weigh 135 before St. Patrick's day because my mom got me a pair of cargo pants that are just a little too tight, but look really cute with one of my green shirts. So I figure if I lose just 3 or 4 lbs they'll fit perfectly. Speaking of St. Patrick's Day, I'm thinking about changing my avatar afterwards to something more summery (not until then though because the green shoes are perfect for that day), but I'm not sure what I want. I'm kinda thinking this one. What do you guys think? Attached Image (viewed 143 times): Last edited on 8 March 2009 11:47 pm by sweet kisses |

Bad News: I ate like the freakin cookie monster today! And I'm like 99.9% sure I'm not going to weigh 135 by tomarrow like I was hoping. Jessica I wish you tons of luck on getting a job. I'm looking around myself, but there is just nothing out here. Stupid American economy. |

I weighed like my lowest yesterday but was then up  again today. Am losing weight slowly now but I guess that's what's to be expected since my metabolism has probably slowed... Will try to boost it tommorrow with some running! I am 66,4kg (146.08lb) so its ok, but very slooow. Last edited on 20 March 2009 03:49 pm by sqzee |

You're right Jessica. Its just I can't wait! But I will have to obviously. Its alright though. Satisfing to know that I am at my lowest weight ever measured consistently. And I am finally safely under 67kg. If I don't blow it this weekend that is! |

Arg, so this week sucks balls. We've been out of fruit since Monday and the only veggies left in the house are a bag of salad mix (which my mom told me I'm NOT allowed to eat until she makes it for dinner) and 3 cans of green beans (eh, I'm really not a big fan of canned veggies). On the other hand, we've got carrot cake, tater tots, and canned spaghetti out the a**. Anyway, so that's what I've mostly been living off of, and of course since none of these are all that filling, I've been eating way too much of them. Yeah, and now I weigh 140.  And I've been feeling really sluggish and such and so haven't exercised since Thursday, I don't suppose that's helped. I'm making mom go to the store to get some fresh/frozen veggies and fruit today and I'm going to exercise no matter how much I don't want to. I'm really hoping the first one or two lbs will come off pretty quickly. That's usually what happens when I gain a lot of weight in a week and then go straight to eating healthy and exercising again. Congrats Sara and Jessica for doing great! I'm really proud of you guys! |

Shucks thanks Im just wondering guys.... I know there is one pieces but have you guys ever seen like a sexy one piece?? i wanna go with a one pc but i still wanna look hot but yeah SK - if you start eating healthy again im sure those couple pounds will come right off thats what happened to me i lost like 5 pounds :) I believe in youuu ?<3 Ps.. Guess whos 164.2 now/again ?? :D Last edited on 22 March 2009 09:13 pm by JessicaW |

Its ok Nicole, we're kind of in the same boat. I blew my weekend, but I am starting fresh today! Jessica is right, those pounds will definatly come off! And congrats Jessica with the loss! You are kicking some butt! But yeah there are lots of sexy one-peices. Search the internet or wait till they get some in the stores. There are those that are like really low-backed so they are sexy but don't show the little flab on the stomach (I have that flab anyway) I would choose one like that. Or like one of those tank-top ones with one of those sewn-in belt things, that would look nice because it makes you seem like you have a waist, or highlights the one you have and shows of nice shoulders and neck. There are also the ones that like cut in at the sides of the stomach so your bellybutton is covered but your waist-part isn't. Hope you understood what I was explaining! Haha anyway, good luck, lets be good today! |

Yeah well, shows they weren't serious about their weightloss, or decided not to use this site and are very rude. Either way a loss for them (haha but not in weight ) and kodus to us for staying strong and comitted. - just snacked a bit though. Ugh. But went for a run today, so I am hoping for a loss tomorrow. |

lol yeah :P I find running embarrassing :( especially cause im not any good. and hate that it feels like people are watching me suck at it lol then when im really tired i dont wanna stop if they go by lol Well my monthly is gone :D Im back down to 165 :) |

I'm addicted to CPH lol... Anyway how on earth can you suck at running? It is literally putting one foot in front of the other. And trust me, no one will think you look stupid. I find it embarassing too, but in the end, who is stupid? You because you are doing something good for your body or them for judging you? Anyway people will probably find you inspiring rather than weird. Haha, I have to say this to myself all the time! But I run with a friend so its not as embarassing And I've gotten over most of it by now.Woot for the 165 btw! |

Sorry for being one of the guys who never posts lately. I've just been crazy busy with the flute trio I'm in and my teachers have been dumping a ton of homework on me. I've been trying to eat well, but I haven't really had time to do a lot of exercise. Yesterday I did some ab work and like 15 minutes of aerobics, and the day before I walked 2 miles, but that's about it. Today I've got a bit of a break though, so I'll be doing an hour long workout. I gained some weight, despite my trying to eat well, probably because I haven't been exercising, so I really need to get on that. I weigh 141 lbs now. Icky. |

Oh. My. God. I have to vent! Sorry guys! My dad and grandparents have come to visit and live with us for 3 weeks... Though we will be travelling for one. And they are sooo stressing me out! Generally with their noise, things and annoying opinions. Argh... But also with food. Since we are 5 people now, someone is always eating! Ihh. And my grandfather PARTICULLARLY thinks he's the center of the earth and expects food he likes to eat. No consideration to that I am the cook in this house now and I am losing weight/trying to. And they are all saying it's nice to see that I've lost weight, and then come with advise! Hallo?! I HAVE lost weight, and they haven't so what do they know? And they look concered at me when I eat something 'unhealthy'. I totally know what I am doing when I do this, so they have nothing to be worried about. It's getting to my mother as well. She was totally leaving me alone before and now she's started to fuss as well. And it's really important that no one judges me when I go for something unhealthy, because if I am deprived, I will binge on something else, and generally be unhappy. The reason I am losing, and the reason I have kept at it is that I can still eat things I like, and when I want something sweet and have decided it's within my calorie budget then freaking let me have it!  I love them all of course... but agh |

I'm writing quickly because I'm about to have dinner. But it's different from the rest of the family's so it will take a little longer to cook. This was exactly what I had hoped to avoid but my mom is not being strong and my grandmother is really just doing the best to cook food everyone will eat. I must do it though. There is no room for slip-ups after being away and eating way too much. So... Anyway how are you guys? Holding strong? |

Yes I am here! But I have no idea where sweet kisses has gone? Anyway. Family went last week. So I'm in charge of food again. I've been very strict for about a week which looks to have paid off but yesterday was my mom's (second!) birthday celebration in the form of brunch which then turned into the form of extra numbers on the scale and fat on my belly! I'm doing ok with exercise and I keep improving at my running but, now I am improving slower. I recently started forcing myself to eat fruit in the morning instead of Rice Kripies or just some crispbread, so I think that is a good step in the right direction. I think it is helping. Anyway it is a way to get closer to the 600g of fruit and veg that is recommended a day. I am losing a bit slowly now, but to be honest I am optimistic for once, at this moment I am anyway! Another thing is that my clothes are falling off me... I do not look hot in my jeans anymore because they are waaay to loose! And I can't really find new clothes here. |

I suck. I've been losing soooo slooowly. It's #%@&!. Sorry, I need to show the anger. I am almost, aaalmost at a BMI of 25, but it's as if it won't let me get there. Something, somewhere... I have an inkling it's because this is the fat I have always had on me. I have been a little chubby all my life. This is not the superficial fat I put on moving here, this is stubborn childhood fat that is determined to stay! I understand I'm lovely to hang out with (or on! ), but it has got to go. I am having a little trouble getting exercise so that might be a reason. Maybe it really is that I have been eating too much, but my mental calorie-counting is telling me that I should be losing. Anyway I will record what I eat every day, every day of this week to be sure. It might help. I might go running thrusday and saturday. I will try to make myself, but I don't want to pressure myself either. But way to go Jessica! I am rooting for you, you know that. Look at us two, sticking it out for so long. |

Just had to check in. I went running but not more than 15. Anyway, it kept me from eating to much and set my mind back into routine. I was good for food today, I really hope. I will see tomorrow on the scale. And I will keep going this way. I have to lose at some point, or something is really wrong. I hope I go running tomorrow and I will keep to good eating. I might not make a lose for this week's weigh in in the challenge. It is bumming me out a little bit. But that can't put me down, I will be on the right track for next week |

Go go Jessica! That is great! I am pretty happy too! I am at a BMI of 24,8 as of today!!! I am normalweight! But I am not celebrating too much because I've lost in the past two days so it might just be fluctuations. I hope I make it through today without massive binging just because it is weekend. I am really hoping to reach 60kg soon! And I am at 63,5 today, but two days ago I was 64,5. So let's see. |

Fluctuations who cares! at least you see it! :D Thats how i go about it, So went to Toronto.. about 6 hours... butall i ate was pizza.. doughnuts, some Cesar salad. and got drunk so lots of calories and fat but only like 3 -4 hours of walking.. i thought maybe it would equal itself out but nope im up a couple pounds.. then i had a binging problem yesterday. ughh.. but ill go to the gym soon. |

63,6kg today. That's pretty good. Normal BMI still. But it is going soo slow. I don't know if I will be the weight I want to be by this summer when I see my friends in Denmark. It was hard today because of a birthday party. And because it is weekend. I also don't go running as much as before. And I've been snacking so much lately. But I think that is my because of my period. How's it going with you? |

You're right. Thanks for being there! I am really trying to stay on track but it is very hard. Maybe I should start a diary here, do you think? It might help to get my worries and frustrations out about food and also keep track of what I am eating. |

Hello Chicas Delgadas, Just doing a drive by and thought I'd say hi. You gals are workin' hard so stay motivated. It's great to see that you're all staying committed to each other on the thread. I've been one of the Mid-Life Spices and we're going strong with each other for a year now. Losing weight and getting fit is a lifestyle change and that means FOR LIFE! Hang in there and continue to support each other. Bert Last edited on 4 June 2009 07:52 pm by pbf4326e |

Hi Sqzee, thanks for stopping by our sight, I was so surprised to see ou there. I'm glad you have a good buddie on your site too, the support makes so much difference and I can tell you and Jess really help each other. Keep going girls, this is one of the wonders of the internet, you can find friends all over the world. Me and my buddies are all from the US but we are pretty spread out, there is no way we would have met otherwise and we've been going for a year now. We all talk a lot LOL. Good luck to you guys, I know you will make it, you are committed. |

lol Thanks Sqzee, hows the diary thing going for you? Ive decided to stay off the scale for awhile... I have my new hair cut to feel good lol, |

The diary is good I think. I will keep at it. Hair cuts are very very good! I am looking forward to getting my hair cut in Denmark when I go in 10 days. Do you remember the skinny jeans? Have I told you I fit into them? Have I told you I actually can breathe in them? I wonder what size I am now seriously... I think I am finally excited about weightloss again! I'm full of enthusiasm. I just can't run on my knee! Annoying but I will give it rest so it can heal. I am also looking forward to Denmark! My friends and familiy, and shops and everything. I can probably also run further because of the weather. |

I don't know. I ran on it too much. And yes Denmark because I am Danish so yeah. Hehe yeah breathing in pants are good. How are you? Exercising, dieting? Is it going the right way? |
|||||||

Hey, Um it could be way better on the dieting part, but now that its summer, im definitley outside, and exercising more . which is good. but im still at 164 pounds. I want the 150s! lol that reminds me, i need to watch my food intake more. lol how about you |

I feel like I am making a lot of mistakes. And with all the things I am running around doing and all the people I have to say I am easily tempted. But I am also keeping a really close I on it all. And I don't have a scale so I have no idea what I weigh. Yeah I am shooting for the 55kg still but first 60, (sorry don't have time to find the lb on that ;)) It seems like the next couple of days should be with less temptations so I hope I can bank on loosing some there. I really need to buy a scale. And you should just go for the 150. And its really good to hear you are exercising and having fun :)! |

lol ican honestly say dieting is full of mistakes. haha lol thats okay, i can get an idea. OR can google it if necessary :P I can actually find working out fun, like in the gym, i just really enjoy it, maybe cause i like how i can feel free, do what i want :P sounds cliche but its true. Its kind of relaxing, oddly enough Well hope your doing well.. |

I really wonder where SK is at... I am finally home with a scale, and so far I am making progress! I feel so much better about myself. I am overall very happy even though a lot is going on, but its summer break so who wouldn't be happy? Check out my diary if you are really wondering how its going with my weightloss.Hope all is well (in the land of healthiness) |

Yea, I agree, maybe she forgot about us :( Scale is always exciting (getting one anyway) maybe not the weighing yourself part. espically when you know you havent done well lol Ill def check your diary out. |
