Sorry to have disappeared for the last few days... I went to Alton towers one day and then have been sick for the last few days. I think I have a virus or something.

Damn... 7 pages in the last few days. You girls have been busy. Will read them in a few minutes.

I have actually been doing alright. I have been so sick... that I haven't been eating much. Everything is making me nauseous and i feel like i am going to be sick.

Today so far... I have had a bagel w/ cream cheese and a few bottles of water.

I only ate dinner yesterday... rigatoni w/ sausages and salad. Only ate half of my pasta but finished the salad. I had a few bites of my husband's pudding.

Thursday... big breakfast and then for dinner... a few bites of chicken.

Wednesday... was at Alton Towers so had a bit of junk food... I had strawberries and grapes for brekkie... chips for lunch... and pizza for dinner.

And then that one bad day turns into two, etc. and before I know it, I'm not eating healthy at ALL anymore. Grrrrrr...

I am the same way... if I cheat during the day, I tell myself that I should just be bad the rest of the day... i end up pigging out all day.

Welcome!

That sounds like a brilliant idea... i am always looking for new recipes.

Not to mention the fact that I have a closet full of beautiful clothes that I couldn't get my ankle into if I tried. I WILL NOT FAIL AT THIS AND NEITHER WILL YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the words... i need to keep that in mind when I think about eating something unhealthy.

[abrody]

hi everybody! i've been lurking for a while but now i would like to join!

my stats are: 5'3 and 128 lb
i've been going to the gym for 2 years now but this past month i have been flooded with uni work and this has made me become a tiny bit 'soft'

i do a lot of weights so i have quite a bit of muscle but i tend to lose shape easily around my waist so i am aiming to lose that extra 3 kilos.

i do around 2 hours of exercise a day (80 minutes weights, 40 minutes cardio) 4 times a week but i would like to increase this back to 6 days as i have done so previously.

my main gripe is with my diet. i eat very healthily but during stress times i can eat a block of chocolate in one sitting

i hope to update everyday and good luck to everyone else!

Welcome! Glad to have you here.

OMG 2 hours of exercise a day? That is amazing, you are an inspiration.

 

[abrody]

^ thanks mzzrach!

i know it is hard to get into the routine at the start but the results you yield are truly worth it. sometimes i have trouble getting myself to the gym but once i'm there and knowing i'm working my way to a better and healthier body: nothing can stop me!

 

[rbella]

Welcom Abrody and darkwater!! Great to have new peeps here.

Mel-it seems a bit easier, but whenever I get stressed out it is still the first thing I want. Also, sometimes I get so sick and tired of water I just want to say F*ck it and buy a DP. But, I've got a big thing of sugar free Kool-Aid for those days.

Thanks for asking. I hope you feel better. I don't like you being sick.

Thanks... just had my dinner... steak and salad and already feel sick. I can't keep anything down. I should be seeing a result in the scales on Monday.

If I didn't know that I can't get pregnant... I would think i was pregnant.

How are you feeling with your ear infection? I got one once and it lasted forever... i felt off balance all the time.

Welcome.

 

[rbella]

Checking in...Mel-my ear is still hurting like a bitch. They said it could take up to 2 months for the eardrum to heal. I hope to God I'm not in pain like this for that long...It sucks. Thanks for asking.

Did good today. Stayed within points, No DP's and no bad snacking. That is about it. Started my period and I am incredibly bloated. Yuck!!!

 

[shootout]

Can I join in too?
I'm really needing a group like this.
I just started college, and all the girls here are SKINNY!
Not to mention the fact that the food here sucks and I'm so tempted to sit around and eat junk all day!
And my roommate is a size 4, so there's not much support there!

 

[rbella]

yes! Everyone is welcome!

 

[LaPrincessa]

[Growing Wings]

to those of you who have recently joined us, and congratulations to those of you who are doing so well.

LaPrincessa, going out to eat is always so hard when you're on a diet so don't beat yourself up about it too much. I'm sure you'll get back on track soon.

My diet is pretty much back on track. My brother is having a bbq later, and there's going to be so much food around that I just can't eat. But I'm going to be strong and not have any. Although I did have a couple of pieces of dark chocolate whilst making him a chocolate cake

But it's still no wheat or dairy which is good!

 

[Willa]

Back from the cabin
Felt good to breath good air
I had trouble sleeping because last night we had a big diner, I hate good stuff but I think the souvlakis were probably uncooked or something.

I did good though.

Is there anything you can take for the pain? Or is it something that just needs time?

Congrats on your 5 pounds weightloss though

I can gain 2 or 3kg during my period so afterwards you will feel even better! I find a nice long walk as opposed to strenuous cardio helps me feel better when I have my period.

My newest addition to my diet has been green tea (but I hate it so much!) to speed up the metabolism, but does anyone know how effective it is and when I should be drinking it, like after meals etc?

 

[Brittni]

STILL NO DP'S?!?1 I AM SO PROUD OF YOU RBELLA!!!!!!

I haven't worked out STILL. I feel like every day I don't work out I'm ballooning bigger...even if not the case. LOL. Tommorow it *will* happen even with the gym closed. I'll suck it up, move the furniture, and whip out Denise Austin! ehehe

 

[rbella]

I've been taking advil and they gave me some prescription ear drops, but, unfortunately it just needs to heal over time.

I like green tea, but I don't know how it affects weight loss? Let me know if you find anything out!!

I hope all is going well for you!! Good to see you!

I did good today, but once again I will make this short b/c I feel like shit...

Edit-just posted at the same time as you, brittni! No Dp's!! Yay!!! I'm proud of you too, it has to be rough to still be doing so good with all that you are going through. {{{HUGS}}}

 

[Brittni]

Green tea supposedly helps the metabolism so therefore burning more calories and losing more weight kind of thing I believe...

 

[Growing Wings]

So after a week of being on this diet, I've lost 2lbs. I know it's good that I'm losing weight and not putting it on, but I can't help thinking about how much I could have lost if I was able to exercise. I think this is gonna be a very long journey for me...
