Height: 5'3

I'll keep you my dirty little secret...

Wow. xD I'm guessing that the fact that we're the same height and weight explains why my body shape is pretty similar to yours. -high fives- I'm trying to lose around 20-25 pounds by May (so I've got a little longer than you xD), so that I can look good for my prom. Lots of luck to you! <3

...don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret.

I didn't do too badly yesterday. I have the frootloops for breakfast, and some porcupine meat balls for dinner, with corn and rice. And two cookies. And bunch of tea.

And I had some wheat cereal for breakfast today. It was yummy.

I hope I actually lose weight for once ._.

I've tried many times before, even all the way back when I was 12. I've always been unsuccessful. I get discouraged so quickly. It seems my mind is very good at finding ways of persuading me to stop trying. Though I have to say, I've always been stressed in general at my dad's place, which is where all but on attempts have occurred. My mom's place is more relaxing, and she has an elliptical trainer, which I like more. I read online that elliptical trainers make you burn calories faster than using a treadmill, but it tricks your body into thinking it's doing less work so you don't "feel the burn" as much. I remember when I was littler I liked to use it just because I like the whole exercising part, without it hurting as much. I think I just have crap joints ._. In any case, I'm moving back with my mom in a month so maybe losing weight will be easier~

You're not alone. In fact you are saying the same exact things most of us have said in our early posts. Go read mine! I had like a streak of 5 days where I was nothing but depressed, asking myself why I was even bothering trying because I have failed so many times in the past. My brain was literally trying to get me to cheat on myself. But it's about being strong. You're posting here (i'm hoping) to keep tabs on yourself. But by making them public, you're allowing other people to keep tabs on you too, making it easier to be honest with yourself.

I update everyday (except over Dec. 24 and 25) because I want to do my best to stay to true to myself. Some people only use their journal as a place to track their progress. Some people use it to keep tabs on what they ate in the day. I personally use mine more as a personal journal. I write about my successes and failures, both on my diet and outside of it. I rant in mine. I do it because writing is supposed to help keep your mind off eating. For example, I'm hungry right now. But I haven't gotten up in the last 30 minutes at least to eat something because I've been occupied with responding to posts. don't be afraid to use your journal. and just because no one posts replies sometimes, doesn't mean we're not reading your progress.

As for the elliptical machine, they are better for your knees and ankles. A treadmill can be very harsh, but running in general normally is. And I hear you. I have many injuries from being a dancer in my prime (Lol, I sound old). I have a shot lower back, hips, knees, ankles, and toes. I also have a screwed up shoulder from nearly dislocating it while playing badminton in PE. All I can recommend is stretch before and after a workout, let an achy muscle rest for a day, and find workouts that work for you. It's not worth hurting yourself constantly to lose the weight.

Sorry for the wall of text. Wishing you luck and take care!

Thank you very much. I like how friendly and supportive this guild is.

I'm not exactly sure what I'll be using this journal for, but it's giving me more motivation to go through with losing weight because I'm telling other people. I'd feel weird to tell people I'm going to do something, and not go through with it.

Thank you for your awesome post~

I've been doing 20 minutes on the elliptical for the past two days. I was thinking about doing something like jumping rope when I get back. The internet has informed me that it's a high intensity interval training sort of thing, which is what turbulence training is all about. Jumping ropes are cheap, and easy~ I'll try combining it with whatever muscle building activities I can perform with what I have from the turbulence training guide. If I weigh 138 in a week I will be happy whee It'll mean it's working.

EDIT: Also DDR. I like DDR~

We have the same goal weight. C:

Um,
how did you fit your whole body into your before pic? Did someone do it for you or did you have a timer? ._. I really need to get around to doing a before pic but haven't a clue. Eep.

You have a head start. (ﾟдﾟ) But I think the dates we want to be that weight are close. I don't think I'll make it ._.

I used a timer.

 

[Stars in my Pocket]

I'll look for my camera's timer feature. c: That'll be my goal for this week. (I get really embarrassed and tend to avoid "before" pics). And honestly you look thinner than I do, I'd have never guessed your starting weight. o: So you'll look skinny-minnie when you get to your goal. <3  

[frakkin]

Yay. I hope I do look thin. I hate how my chest is going to disappear j ^ j. I have nothing already. It'll be like dividing by zero. Thankies thankies.

Last night I stayed at an all-nighter, and did eat a bit of junk food. It wasn't all that much, and was spread out through the night. I mean, it wouldn't be helping me lose weight, but it wasn't terrible. I made sure I didn't gorge myself or anything.

I'm hoping to be one of those people who are successful at losing weight and other people become inspired by it. It's make me feel special 'n' stuff. I don't want to have this journal for a month, with it full of posts about how I accidentally spoiled my daily calories with bad food or over indulgence and thus haven't lost much weight. I'd feel nice if I actually were to lose the amount of weight that I want without having any slips. That has helped me stay on track since I've started. I mean, I haven't been doing this for very long so I can't say for sure, but at least so far.

I've decided a reward for the full intended weight loss is this. I think it's neato lookin'.

I pigged out a bit Sunday and Monday because I had a bunch of flights and my boyfriend bought loads of snacks while we were on the plane and offered me them. So I thought it should be okay since I don't fly on a plane all of the time, I just need to make sure to continue with the exercising and proper eating afterward, which I have been today. I weighed myself, with this different scale that uses kg. I weigh 63.9 kg according to it. I assume the junky food may have been weighing me down a tiny bit, or there's a small difference in the scales. But 3 weeks ago I weighed more around 66 kg with this scale o3o In any case I've lost weight~

I'mma add some DDR in for exercise, and use jumping rope for the turbulence training thing since I don't have an elliptical trainer right now, and I like those j ^ j

My boyfriend has decided to try and buff up a bit and is ordering a free trial for some cleanse ultra and lean musclex because it apparently has good results. He thinks it could just be bull, but it's only 6 dollars for the shipping and handling so he doesn't care too much. He doesn't want to be super muscly. Just replace some of his skinniness. He's got the whole skinny-fat thing going on 'cause he's a computer nerd like me.
