Kimmy619 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yippee! Well done Cookie. I only lost 1lb this week. Still, at least I haven't put any on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbielleRose Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I weighed myself on the weekend and I've lost 6 pounds! It's been a couple of months since I last weighed myself and I'm really pleased because I thought I'd actually put some on!!! That is great, Cookie! Great job! Losing 1 lb is great, Kimmy How are you all feeling? I weighed myself last night before bed and was pleased to discover that I am only 1/2 a lb away from meeting my first goal I've been eating light all day and walking on my breaks in hope that when I go home I will hit that mark. When I do it means I will have lost a total of 50 lbs in the last year and a 1/2, something I honestly didn't think I could do without some form of medical help.

Lisa-Marie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Well done to everyone who has lost weight Ok, I have been carb cycling and mixing cardio with weights for the past 5 weeks now. I have lost 9 inches all over:hyper:! I ordered Hannah Watermans dvd last week which turned up today. A girl in work has it and raves about it all the time. It's hard work, but she has seen results.

Inver Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Disgusted with myself :irked:when I stepped on my scales at the weekend. Have put quite a few pounds on again. Too much sitting around and nibbling on all the wrong things I have been going for a regular Monday morning swim with a friend, but more chatting than more lengths I think.

Kimmy619 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I used to go swimming with a friend and had the same problem. I go on my own now as I get more lengths in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinay87 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I've been overweight for most of my life, and I've decided to change that now. I don't want drastic overnight changes, I just want to encorporate exercise into my daily life. I'm considering joining a gym to achieve this, but I'm really hesitant about doing so alone. Any soulsoup for the obese? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmy619 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Have you got any friends who you could go to the gym with? I like going to the gym on my own, just me and my iPod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinay87 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 The only friend of mine who needs to lose more weight than I has no interest. His motto in life is "One life, better fat than sorry." Which, I am glad to say, I don't agree with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookJumper Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Unhappiness = comfort cooking / nibbling / cappuccino drinking = putting back on, if not everything I'd lost so far, pretty nigh on. Yay. Someone please slap me? I require motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbielleRose Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 I worked out tonight for the first time in a week and now my thighs are killing me. It feels like someone beat my muscles with a meat mallet! Hopefully things will go better tomorrow and the old routine will come back. Of course I ended up ordering pizza for supper so the workout was probably ineffective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 My get up and go, has got up and gone and I have no motivation whatsoever I stopped smoking about 4 years ago and developed a sweet tooth in it's place.

Ooshie Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 For some reason, about 2 years ago I completely lost my sense of taste, and so never wanted anything to eat at all. I made myself drink a Slimfast shake at lunch time, and ate a tin of Baxters Healthy Living soup at tea time, and would usually have some crackers and cheese and fruit in the evening. Not any kind of recommended healthy eating! But I lost about a stone and a half in six months, and have kept it off since then, even though my sense of taste came back and I have been eating normally since then. I do need to lose more weight though, and am trying to get myself motivated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Univerze Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Well, the verdict is out, tried some of my summer clothes since the weather's nice again, and I definitely gained some pounds since last year. Feeling like hell after dad died meant comfort food, for both me and mom. I have no idea what I weigh, but I know I don't like how my tummy looks. So. Today and tomorrow I have to go to university again for classes etc, so I decided to go by bike, where before I would have gone by bus. It's half an hour biking, so means an hour a day. Not bad right, don't need to lose much weight, so a more active lifestyle usually works too. Hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genevieve Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Univerze, please accept a hug from me, you are so dear and me too I lost two family members last year and I am still burned out oui, and so unmotivated. I do my excercises automatically about four or so in the morning, I have to be up and while the water is boiling for the tea or the coffee maker I just start doing the ballet barre excercises and some light weights , but only for fifteen minutes or twenty. Then I eat and move on with my day. No joy in any of it I am sorry to tell you, just force of habit. I eat what I want and just add fibre to each meal and it keeps me pretty even in weight I suppose. I quit worrying about all that long ago and just eat well and eat treats when I want and give thanks for what I have and somehow I don't really gain weight now like I did when I focused on a lot of excercise and restricted myself in food. Why does this work, who knows. I don't know or care! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missybct Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Univerze, bless your heart - Don't be too hard on yourself, you've been through a tough time and I'm thinking of you x Sorry I've not been around much lately, life has turned upside down (good and bad ways) but the good part is I've lost 23.5lbs this month! A little too much but I've been eating properly and everything, just cut out a lot of sugar and fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbielleRose Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) I have a question for anyone who might have some insight. Tonight I just finished the most intense workout I've had in months and for some reason no matter how much water I drink I'm still insanely thirsty. This isn't a recent issue as it would happen way back in my soccer/dance days too. I would be able to chug down a whole litre of water and fill up my stomach to the point where it would hurt and I would just feel sick and miserable afterwards, but my mouth would still be craving water. Has anyone else had issues like this or know how to better pace water intake during and after a workout?
