No Change...

standing still. nothing.
and it's starting to become this. when this happens. nothing. is the feeling i get.
loss is pride. gain is anger. standing still. is loneliness. numb. :(

15 December 2010

It just keeps coming :)

Another 1.2lb loss this morning :D so pleased.
This has brought my BMI down to 22.2
Anybody else with good news??

11 December 2010

Sat in train station.

Waitin for bus. Girl next to me has a big mac. All i can think is... Eww.

standing still.

My weigh in before work today was neither here nor there.
I'm on a stand still. nada.
If I look on the bright side though I suppose I could say that I haven't gained anything so :)
here's to 18lb overall loss tomorrow!

and I just want to shout out to Skinny_El, you are wonderful mrs, and constantly inspire.
You've done amazingly and will continue to do so until you reach your goal, I know it ^-^
much loves.x

Pills, Pills, Pills

Wow, this is the first post from my mobile. Which means i'll definitely be posting more frequently! Anywho, i haven't been taking supplements as much lately. Supposed to take 3 daily, but it's been 1 or 2 every 1 or 2 days. Need to get back into my habbit i think. What about you guys? Are you taking supplements? How are you finding them? x ttfn

starving to be pure.

just drinking coffee. it's filling for the moment. but I know it'll get harder obviously.
Fasting with Skinny_El at the minute. It's going well on paper, nothing lost nothing gained. But inside, in me, it's not going well enough. If I wanted to maintain my weight I'd have no trouble I find I can eat and be full now and not gain a thing. But loss is hard right now, and I can't understand why.
Maybe tomorrow.

I miss that empty feeling. It kinda' makes me happy knowing it's coming. just a little while to go.
I'd say it would have really kicked in by saturday. and then I have it for a week :)
I'm going to a 21st on the 18th. and I know I'll be missing alcohol by then xD
but i'll maintain my loss aslong as i don't exceed much more than half the daily cal intake.

well, with every cloud...
I've been registered at MKOU, to take my Art History Degree. Which feels great. To finally be doing something passionate for a change.
Can't wait to get into it.
(please check out my tumblr guys - I know I can count on you for creative feedback ^.^ )

x ttfn, and stay stong.

Update

So I've just finished updating the tracker and my stats,and I realised I didn't really update properly in my last post about the total lbs lost now.
A month ago I had lost a total of 16lbs. In early-mid November I, sadly, put a few pounds back on.
I lost this weight in later November along with an extra pound. Making m current total loss 17lbs.
Which Is a positive thing I know but, 1lb over a month, isn't a good thing. If I hadn't put that weight back on in the first place it might have been 4lbs or 5.

Right that's all my negativity out.haha. Good thoughts now :)
I'm going to be positive. And try harder.

Keep it up you guys :)
If anybody has fallen off the wagon in the past month or so, and jumped right back on again,with progress,
I'd love to hear from you. ^-^ Would be such a comfort!

Sorry about the Hiatus.

it was unannounced I know. I've been busy witha few things.
So it's been a uneventful month and a half since my last post, progress-wise.
I put a little on in mid November, which was really discouraging. Then I lost 3lbs in a week and a half.
Which is a little slower than I'd like.
The past 3 days I've been the exact same weight.Which annoys me because, it makes me think, if I'd have only gone to the gym I might have lost something, anything. But I've been sooooo tired lately.

Fortuneatly this means I've been sleeping alot. Can't eat if your sleepin'.
It's getting easier now, I'm preoccupied with work stuff, and my Italian lessons, which keeps my mind elsewhere.
I'm thinking of perhaps starting a new policy for myself:
If a have a day free to myself, with nothing planned, and start to feel even the slightest hunger pang.
I'll head to bed. Sleep through it.

What do you guys think??

31 October 2010

I'm no warrior... but I'll keep fighting!

Still no losses :/ done quite a bit of walking lately, but at the Rocky Horror show (which was AMAZING by the way xD) I had a couple of a little popcorn and a spring roll!! And today I bought a fajita. I don't even know why. I know that I could've stopped myself if I'd thought about it, I've just had so much on my mind lately, financially, and I think it's just making me do stupid things.

Fortuneatly I'm joining up the gym again xD next weekend I believe :) , after I quit the last time my losses started to slide a bit. Skinny El convinced me that joining again will be a big help ^-^ so thanks hun!

I'll be logging some measurements into my Photo Journal, it's my first measuring though, so I won't be able to compare it to anything just yet. I'll add to it each week :D

Rewrite

Okay so I need to update a few little mistakes that were made on my behalf.
Apparently I'm and inch taller than I thought xD
which means I now need to completely recalibrate my BMI's and my goal loss.
I'll do that shortly, but here's a quick update.
My start BMI was: 25 (not 25.7)
My current BMI is: 22.7 (not 23.3)
Making my goal loss: 45lbs (not 50lbs)

which I guess, is a good thing xD, I haven't achieved anything more, there's just less of a way to go.
And unfortuneatly my weight hasn't changed since sunday so :/ no happiness for losses yet. I'm eating very little tomorrow though, as I'll be going into town to get my costume, taking a train to my friends house and then spending the evening at the Theatre for the Rocky Horror show ^-^ so let's hope for some more lb loss :D

24 October 2010

The bright feeling of progression.

^-^ A weigh-in this morning read another 2lbs loss. Making 16lbs in total. 34lbs to go!!
I'm a third of the way to my goal xD
My BMI's looking better too, 23.3.
Do you ever have one of those weeks/few days when the pounds just seem to drop?
And do you think it'll get harder again?
Would be great to hear from you guys :)

To Lou - way to go xD, and thankyou for your support. x
To El - :D that's okay hun, the more support the better!! hehe, keep it up lovely. xx

The only way around is through.

Yay! Got my diet coke xD happiness.
And just set up electric scales.
It turns out ^-^ I've achieved another 2lbs loss :)
Ohhhhh I do love it when a plan comes together :D
 Ofcourse this allllso means :) I hit my very first stone marker!! hehe
It's the little step that help me carry on ^-^


Also I bought some Alpen Bars today. 70cal each. If I ever do get weak, I have a low cal fall back :)
A void that sometimes Diet coke and Coffee can't fill! Haha!

Let me know how you guys are doing!! If you had any success lately, however big or small, I really would love to share in the pride xD hehe.

Just a little post.

Just thought I'd post about these Sea Kelp tablets I've been taking for the past couple of weeks.
£2 from Holland and Barett for 500 tablets.
They don't taste too bad either, kind of like sea weed.
When I was restricting properly last week and not slipping up like I have been the past couple of days, they were really helping alot. Speed up my metabolism.
Take 2-3 daily (it states preferably with meals, but I'll take 3 daily non the less, with a coffee or something)
So yeah, you should definetly check them out, I reccomend it ^-^ haha.

Needs and Wants!

Gyyyaarh! Hungover! So much vodka!!.
Although calorie-wise last night was a success :)
It was really nice to get out and have fun, been restricting and that's never easy or fun.
So I didn't eat anything yesterday before I went out, but when I got back I had a prawn sandwhich, which is 400 calories added on to whatever the alcohol made up.
Hopefully I burned it off through dancing haha.
Little saddened about giving in to hunger when I was drunk, alcohol makes it soooo much worse!

I'm so sick of my scales. They're mechanical and so inaccurate, I can only ever get an accurate reading at my boyfriends house on his electric scales. So I think tomorrow I'll be picking some up from somewhere. Just some cheap ones.

And aaaaaaaarggh! I'm haaaating not having my diet coke. Ghh it's such a great food substitute but the offer for the cans wasn't on last week so I have none! Got to pick some up tomorrow.

I also need to pick up a maid outfit for the rocky horror show on thursday ^-^, so that'll be going on my shopping list too xD

Well I won't have a weigh in til' I get my scales. Sigh.
I really find it helps to weigh myself often, keeps me on track.
Is it the same for you guys??

21 October 2010

Restless.

Okay, it's half past 2 in the morning and I'm shattered! Been thinking about tomorrow, what to wear, what to drink.Thinking about the coming weeks, whether or not i'll slip and and be miserable. Thinking about how this may effect the time I spend with my boyfriend and my friends in the future. But now. I'm knackered. Haha! So I'm off to beddy byes.

Just wanted to post a quick thankyou to the previous commenters, they really helped qwell a few fears :)
and I totally forgot about the straw thing! I used to do it all the time. So thanks ladies xD


nighty night. love to all.

A line allows progress, a circle does not.

[ Wow, thankyou to the people who followed my blog yesterday ^-^. ]

Just got home from a few days at my boyfriends house. I find it somewhat easier to restrict there now, since I've been bringing my own food. Low cal soup and salads, diet coke, and ofcourse my coffee!!
I have a little bit of a worry for tomorrow night however. I'm going to a vodbull UK night, and I know I'm going to get very drunk xD which doesn't bother me in the slightest haha, it's just the calorie intake that's scaring me. I'm about to do a little research on calories in different spirits, to see if I can find something to stick to.
But my overall plan, is to not eat tomorrow, or maybe a piece of toast before I leave my house. This way, I can be a little more lenient with calorie intake in my drinks, and I will get drunk alot faster, therefore needing to drink less :)
I'll be sure to post on Friday to let you know how this plan went, haha. And perhaps tomorrow, with a little info on calories in alcohol. :)
Ohh also! If anyone has had a dilemma like this before, or has any ideas I could use, could you comment me some advice?? xD thanks!

19 October 2010

Well Hi There.

:) This is my first post on my new blog. I'm still keeping my old one at moonfruit, but I've always had a soft spot for blogspot xD
So these are my stats.
BMI : 23.5
Goal Loss: 42lbs
Current Loss: 12lbs

I know that my BMI is in the 'healthy zone' but unfortuneatly I'm still very unhappy with myself this way.

And this is me.
I started out very well about 5weeks ago.
I actually lost 7lbs in my first week. I was gyming it alot, and my cal intake was under 1000 a day.
But after a little while I didn't have time for the gym any more, and my weight began to fluctuate up and down. Not by a huge amount, just a couple of pounds either side. Recently however my cal intake has been between 500 and 700, and as you probably saw from my stats, I'm almost at my first stone loss mark! :D
Been losing about 1-2lbs every 2days, and I'm trying to slowly ease myself into a water fast.

On a final note, I'd just like to thanks and congratulate Skinny El - check out her blog. She's help me through a lot so far, she's one of the strongest people I know, and she's doing amazingly well! xD
