DATE: 12/12/2007 01:24:26 / MOOD: loosing weight

Okay, so Ive listed what I need to do. Now for the realistic side and time to set goals!!

I now weigh 76kg and I am hoping to loose another 6 by the 12th Of Jan 2008! But being the festive season this is going to be tough! So then weighing 70kg I then hope to loose another 5kg by early March!

Finally I am hoping to be a fit and healthy 60kg by my 19th, Which is the 27th of April (Yes my profile dates are wrong)

Not only do I want to lose 16kg by April I was to tone up and get fit!! I want to be able to run for ages and not feel like my heart is trying to jump out of my mouth!

I hope to gain more confidence and become a gym junkie! I dont want to become big and musceley but certainly tighten up those problem areas!

 

I just hope I can stick to it!

Well Ive read somewhere to gain Motivation you need to ask yourself a few questions, and answer being specific!

 Here goes:

 What do I want?

1. Well clearly I want to loose those extra kilos Im carrying! But I really want to be a healthy size 10 for once in my life! I want to be able to look at a bowl of salad and think mmmmmm this is way better than Macca's. I want to change my lifestyle and I want to eat healthy! I dont want to be a health freak as such, but definatly cut down on the junk food!!

I'd love to be able to run for an hour and be only slightly puffed! I want to be toned and have a stomach like Angelina Jolie! I want to be able to dance at a night club and not have a care in the world about my flabby arms! I just want to be totally happy with who I am!

 So I think thats 5 major points :

1. Loose weight, be hapy at size 10

2. Get fit, be able to run a marathon!

3. Eat healthy food and love it!

4. Tone up! GYM GYM GYM!

 And finally 5. Just be happy with life! I love life, But I want to be happy with who I am! HIGH SELF ESTEEM!!

 

Okay so thats that covered, Now WHY do I want it?!

Well what are the benifits and rewards of weight loss: Well the benificial side of things would be that I would be happy with myself, the way I look! I will be healthier, be able to live longer and happier, less health problems! Rewards would be buying that little cute dress and not having a bump here and a bump there!!! Not worrying about needing to buy the clothes that cover up those problem areas! And of corse better self esteem!!

The consequences of not changing: Well this one is easy! If I dont change my habbits now its just going to make it ALOT harder in the future to try and loose weight, I will keep gaining weight untill I HAVE to take action!! I will be forever unhappy with my size and Lypo doesnt come cheap!! I will continue to struggle to find clothes that look great on and continue to want to live in my trackies!!

What will be different when I change: My size obviously! But I will be happy and healthy! Happy to get on the dance floor and shake my little booty all night!! Ill be fit and for once I'll be lighter than a boyfriend and not have to worry about going to Adventure world and having to be on the back of the double water tubes (because the heaviest person is on the back!) So all in all I will be extatic with my body and the way I look!

What will you be able to do that you can't do now?:  Like I keep saying, fit into that little dress! Be able to wave my arms in the air and not worry about knocking other people out with the flab.. I will be able to run and not be puffed after 5minutes! If I was to ever get stranded out at sea I would be able to swim to saftey and not drown from being so unfit!

What am I willing to do?  I am willing to try my hardest and stick to the TF diet! Its so easy for the busy life style and the shakes are yummm! I am willing to eat smaller portions, use a smaller plate to make my mind think its still a big meal (I heard that works) Im willing to be a shopper who reads the lables and counts carbs! I will eat things under 5grams of carbs per 100g's. Im willing to get the girls together and play netball or go for walks and use my gym member ship! Im willing to become more active!! Im willing to give up every weekend of drinking, but enjoy a few once  a month but spend hours on the dance floor to work it off!! Im willing to do it!!

 

Now how to keep motivated!! Well this is what im hoping this website will provide! Keeping a journal of my progress I find might help me keep motivated and hopefully motivate others along the way!

I guess also I need to think of a reward system that doesnt allow myself to award me with Tim Tams or a night out for dinner!! So far I cant think of anything that will reward me that I dont buy usually anyway! If I want that pair of shoes, I will find a way to get them! Any ideas?!?!

 

I found that CalorieKing is a good sorce of information also!

 

Well thanks

Just wanting to take a few minutes to Congratulate a good friend of mine who has done exceptionally well on her quest to loose those extra KG's.

In 2005 Marissa was a slim size 8, active and petite, Unfortunatly over the last 2 years or so she put on weight and ended up being a size 14.

 Since being on the TF diet for nearly 11weeks (I think, dont quote me on that) she has now lost approx 11kg with strict dieting and extensive excersise!

 She looks fabulous and this should be somewhat of an inspiration to everyone!

 

Well done girl!

So like Ive mentioned before Ive recently started on a meal replacement diet which was refered my one of my girlfriends who went from a size 8 to a size 14 within two years. I needed to take action before my weight got out of hand. I weighed in at 81kg. I have never been that big before! I made myself a promise a few years ago to not pass 70kg, well so much for that!

 It was unbelieveably hard the first few days, Feeling so hungry but the shakes and soups were supprisingly delicious!! I was high on motivation and ready to rock and roll! It was great, I was seeing results on the 15/10 when I first started I weighed in at 81kg and with a waist meassurement of 101cm, on the 23/10 I weighed in at 78.4kg with a waist meassurement of 93cm, my last weigh in was 6/11 and I was now 77.4kg and a waist meassurement of 90cm! I was in total WOW! But then on the 14/11 I went away on a holiday down south with my Boyfriend(who is one of those people who eat what they want and dont gain a kg) and out the window went my diet, now a month later Ive found it hard to get back on it and be as Strict as I was when I begun, lack of motivation is taking its toll! But amazingly after the amount of junk food Ive eaten Ive still managed to weigh 76.4 kg with the same 90cm waist messurement. Not the results I could have, But Im hoping this will inspire me to get me head stuck back into this and also the GYM!!

 

Wish me luck..

Well. I guess as the title implys this is a small introduction of myself.

 My name is Emily and I am actually 18years of age. Most of my life I have struggeled with my weight, although Im not morbidly obese I am over weight and for years have dreamed and struggled to loose those extra KG's. I may not be 100+kg's but at the weight I am now I am unhappy and hope to acheieve something in the near year.

 Like I said, all my life I have struggeled with my weight, my heaviest was 81kg and my lightest at 65kg. It proved to be an issue in primary school being the biggest lead for everyone else to tease me on, It doesnt matter how popular you are or how nice you are, people know that 'fatty' is the biggest insult.

 In the last 2 years I have gone from 65kg back to 81kg, I joined the gym but was eating the same, wasnt seeing any results which lost all my confidence in the gym and I havent been back for about 4 months now (bad huh) so about 2months ago I started a Diet know as the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program, which is basically a meal replacement diet, replacing 2 meals a day with shakes or soups and only allowing a certain amount of 2 friuts per day and a maximum of 3 cups of vegies a day and cutting out all carbs (your daily amount is included in the shakes) and not forgeting the golden rule of Min 2L or water a day.

 Ive recently lost all motivation in this also and am now taking any action to help motivate me again so I can reach my goal weight of 60kg and get into that size 10 dress by my 19th..

 Well thats my story.
