xxxOMFG!
Total fail day! I was doing good in my sandwiches, but the pringles and timbits just killed me, I definitely ate too many of them! I really am much worse at eating well on the weekends I do believe. And I really need to work on snacking & vegetable habits.
Poop, I really need to start getting more serious if I want to hit my goal in time!  

[Lady Kayura]

Oh, Timbits, how I love and hate them. xD

I find keeping track of my calories really helps. I set a certain amount for the day and I can exercise to eat more. It's helped me a lot with my snacking. Even if it's a small snack, it takes away from what I can eat. Maybe something like that would help if you can keep track of it?  

[phloid]

haha, yes those darned timbits!
at least it's better than a whole donut though

and yeah, I had said it before, I guess I can't expect you to have read all my posts though
but yeah, I count my calories on Livestrong.com
I was just too lazy to count on there then transfer all the numbers onto here
xD

but yeah, I dunno I think my problem is I always count the calories at the end of the night
then I notice that I overate
because sometimes I don't have the resources to add them up
then I just eat thinking "ehn, I couldn't have gone over my calories yet!"
though I'm quite wrong sometimes > <

xxxI have been having such an off week, I was so not motivated, I've been eating crap and I totally have been neglecting my calorie counting & diary writing. Poopy. I'm trying to get back on track again, starting right now!
At least I had been doing enough exercise this week, I've had a lot of free time since we have a week off here.
But it doesn't appear that I've gained any weight, so that's good, didn't lose any progress. I just want to feel healthier again!  

[phloid]

BAHHHHHHHHHH!
Hello again everyone,
It's been a while for me.
I just was growing bored of having to actually post everyday xD
but the lovely Stars PM'd me and convinced me to come back,
and yes, I know I should,
my eating habits have been increasingly decreasing since I've left
so I hope that I can stick to it again!
I fell out of it, but at least I came back!
and I've only lost about 2 weeks, not too bad
so I'm back and I'm hoping to STAAAAAAAAAY STRONG!
( starting tomorrow, 'cause I ate awful today D: )

PS: thanks again stars ♥
 

[Stars in my Pocket]

No worries! No one here is perfect or we wouldn't be here. Everyone's human and everyone goes through good and bad phases (this week has been really bad for me too). Just keep trying. (: <3

We are all here for you! <3 <3

Comments:
xxxSo yeah, I was at a sleepover, hence the vast amounts of chips. Then also my sister and I were left to cook for ourselves hence the vast amounts of canned foods (and the rice was leftovers, lol)
Yeahhhhh, I'm thinking I should start preparing healthy snacks and meals for after school. I am always a health lunch eater because.. well, basically because I pack it healthy the night before then I have no other unhealthy options > < I think it gets dangerous when I am hungry and just go searching for a snack when I am like "ouhhh, I'd prefer some chips!"

Comments:
xxxAfter waking up and eating, I had a like 3 hour nap so I didn't really want to eat a big lunch and spoil my dinner, so I just ate a yogurt cup to hold me off > <

The chicken tetrazzini is quite the fattening meal, and I did eat a bit much of it. Not too too bad though. And I made sure to fill up on the veggies in it rather than the pasta, and I'm quite proud that I managed to stop myself from eating everything on my plate.

Ahhh! Late night snacking is the devil! At least crispers are baked and better than chips, but I neeeed help to resist! Urrrg, these snacks are going to be the deciding factor on my losing weight or not. I neeed to take charge over myself. I WILL!

Comments:
xxxWow, I'm really impressed with my exercise today. While on my jog, I made it all the way to the end of my road and back, including the hill! Which is an impressive feat for me. That was about 6min of straight jogging. I'm working my way on up! Then, as I was getting back from my jog, my neighbour invited me out for a bike ride! I was weary about going 'cause... well, it's the middle of winter still and I live in Canada, but it's actually quite nice out. I was mostly worried that the road (seeing as it is a dirt road) would be too muddy, but it was perfect so I'm really excited to get out and do more biking, it's one of my favourite exercises.

As for food, I think I did pretty well as well. I am working on serving proper portions, and filling my plate with veggies so that is good! I did eat a smore, but that's not too bad.  

[BitterFantasy]

your only down 8 lbs??wow it looks like a major difference.keep it up! i would never have guessed you weigh 184.wish i carried my weight that well.  

[phloid]

whaaaaat?! xD
I have no idea how it looks like I've lost any more than 8 pounds,
'cause well.. firstly, I thought the jeans picture would make me look much bigger because of how they're squishing me
and secondly, I thought the jeans picture would look bigger 'cause it's bare skin, not being hidden by my tank top.
But still, if you notice it then I'll take it!
They say you never notice the change in yourself until much after others do.
so thanks.

and as for carrying weight well,
I think it's mostly just that I'm so tall, so 184 is actually pretty reasonable.
but yeah, I guess you could say that I carry it quite well also (;

Comments:
xxxI made good healthy choices today like I decided not to put any mayo on my sandwich (I just doubled the mustard!) and I did well at not overeating the crispers; I set out what they called a portion and ate only that, and also I turned down adding bacon to my cheesedogs (though I did add the cheese > <)

Also had another great bike ride today, and it was a bit muddier out so I had to push extra hard > <

im only 5'5.5". but yeah actually with the tank top not on we can see your lines better. and the thing about tank tops like that is that they dont "hold you in" they just position the fat thats already there differently.i used to do that all the time before i realize it may appear one area to be smaller but at the expense of another area looking bigger. also with the tank top you have in the before picture..all that extra fabric makes you appear bigger than you are whereas the one without the tank top you only see your body.

as for the jean picture. ok its squishing you a bit. but with the right diet and exercise that will go away. very small problem.

keep it up though!
