Diet and Fitness Buddies Community Group
A group to help us on diets support eachother.
I thought that we should start a new thread as the other one was getting a little long.
A group to help us on diets support eachother.
From july 1st i will be starting my job (self buisness) for just 3 hours in morning while my dd is at school, so i still have 2 n half months to lose.
asni dont weigh myself during periods i wont be posting my weight but i will be posting other things,
and thank u shy for being used to my post in morning. Happy b'day to ur hubby.
simba, u will look gorgeous in ur cream paintsuit, have good accessories to match with, good heels, clutch/bag, watch, pearls/ diamonds etc.
I'm so sorry to hear about your problems with finding a suitable school.
I believe that every situation occurs for us as a sign of other things. Perhaps, if you really want a positive attitude, your daughter was not quite ready to move on to a new school. Perhaps the new surroundings might not have helped her right now. Maybe she needed to stay for one more year in her old surroundings (with an aid) until she matures just enough to be able to handle a new environment next year.
She will do great.
.... congratulations on your self-business. It will be nice for you to have a break from everything and concentrate on it for a solid three hours. A business will not succeed without the commitment of the owner. I know you will succeed in it.
And wow. What a motivation to get you to lose that weight. Two months is a long time and you will lose a significant amount of weight by then. And all you have to do afterwards is continue your downward spiral.
April 9:
I stayed the same. 141.5 lbs. This is good news considering that I ate two slabs of lasagna and ice cream last night... I didn't have the birthday cake.... I'm saving for my cake!
Goal for the day: Try and consume MORE water today.
Shy, Happy Birthday to your hubby! My mom's birthday is on Thursday. One of my weaknessess is cake. I plan to save up and exercise that day so that I can enjoy cake & ice cream!
I weighed in at 171.6 lbs. I lost 2.4 lbs. I was very strict with my eating and exercised 4 days last week. Now I just need to repeat that again this week!
Just remember.... some people won't give compliments... they will notice but, they won't say anything! It's their own insecurities and jealousy coming through!
Try not to eat too much cake on your mom's birthday. You don't want to jeopardize all your efforts for the wedding on a measly piece of cake. Maybe just have a sliver of a piece. Just remember that you'll have cake at the wedding!
Good luck this week with the weight loss.
@Raymh: where are you?
April 10, 2013
I DID IT!!!!! I achieved my goal this morning! I can't believe it. I'm still in shock. In fact, I must have stepped on the scale at least five times just to make sure that I saw what I saw. AND... I did see what I saw!
140.0 lbs!
Thank you very much!!
How I dropped 1.5 lbs overnight is beyond me but I'll take it!
I reached my goal 6 days before my deadline.
*I'm posting a new thread if you want to take a peak at my stats.....
140.0 lbs minus 1 lb!
Yeah!!!!.......
New weight; 139.0 lbs
I dropped one pound overnight! I'll take it. I'm not sure what's gong on.... maybe my body has finally kicked into gear and wants to shed these pounds.
Either way... I'm going to lose as much as I can until my goal date.... I still have 5 days left until my birthday!
Besides... it might be good to have some wiggle room.
@Simba and @Raymh: Where are you guys?
I'm dying to share my news with both of you!
HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU MY DEAR,
u have done it finally...............................
BINGO, HIP HIP HURRAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
AND MINUS ONE IS TRULY FANTABULOUS.....................................
now we want a PARTY
THREE CHEERS........................
I'm so glad.
I'm also surprised that I look even better today. That extra pound lost makes my blouse look better today!
Listen... if I can do it, anyone can!
Did you read my new thread I made yesterday? If not, go ahead and read it. I hope to inspire and motivate others.
Very INSPIRING!! I am going to do all I can to lose as much as possible for the wedding next weekend!!
Good for you for doing all you can to lose the weight before the wedding. It will pay off, trust me!
I'm very proud of you for continuing this journey.
Remember what I said.... some people will not compliment you. Just know that they are either jealous or they are too self absorbed to notice anyone else but themselves. You know the kind of person I'm talking about, right?
I'll be meeting 'her' in a week.... next Thursday. I'm even more motivated to ride this fortunate wave just to "shove" it in her face! Ouch. I'm mean!
@simba-- u will look gorgeous in wedding, i am sure
12 april 2013- 88.5 kg
period over i am free to excercise and diet now
today stationary bicycle-5km , plus some eliptical, also i am planning to join evening bollywood dance classes
yesterday a male friend from my college days called me and said that though we have not met since ages (7 yrs), he doesn't feel that i may have been changed and imagines me (as gorgeous) as i was 7 yrs ago.
This friend's wedding is on november 19, and in his wedding i will meet many college mates.
Somehow his so much confidence in me has motivated me more towards my goal.
THIS is exactly the motivation you need.... the goal date you need to be at your best!
It's perfect. It couldn't have come at a better time!
Now you have a mini goal of losing ? (fill in the number) amount of weight for next few months... for when you start your self business. THEN... you will continue the weight loss until you reach (or are very close to) your ultimate goal!
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!
You know, it's funny how we 'settle' into marriage and start living comfortably. Things happen. Life happens. We put on a little or a lot of weight!
...I believe the same will happen for your friend.... give it time! lol.
Raymh... he doesn't need to know that you have gained weight. You were and still ARE gorgeous. You are still you.
Just focus on the weight loss and see your body transform. Soon your 'old' skinny face will shine through.
I have noticed, in the last few weeks, that I have a nicer complexion and that my face looks skinny! It was there for a long time but my complexion has made me notice it more! I love it.
Also, after a couple of months, I started to notice that I had a waist and it wanted to define itself. Now I really like the reflection in the mirror. I just need to tone up and tighten up some of that flabby skin!
Starting today, I'm going to incorporate exercise into my routine! I always told myself that when I reach my goal I will start!
I lost all this weight without any formal exercise. I lost it all by what I ate!
April 12
Still 139.0 lbs. Yay!!!!
Goal for the day: Drink more water and do some exercise... situps?
I'm not going to the gym because the roads are slippery. We had a Spring Storm for the last few days and it finally is ending with freezing rain. Scary but beautiful looking.... it's so surreal.
I didn't do the situps. I was doing housework all day and I was tired of lifting boxes and taking them into the basement.... I'm still unpacking. It's a never ending job but I'm getting somewhere! Mind you, the main floor looks like a tornado went through it. It really is a never ending cycle.
DH is out of the country (States) and won't be back until late tomorrow. I'm hoping to get a lot of stuff done by the time he comes back. I don't know. I started this latest pandora's box assuming that no one was coming over but, of course, BIL, SIL and kids are coming next week for a day or two. They are on their school break (STates) and my kids are in school.
Anyways, I'm trying my best to put everything away that I've unpacked into a new home. But I have to make space and that is proving to be time consuming. I may just have to put things back into the boxes and take them back into the basement.... then pull them out another day. Agh. This is the story of my life. This is how things are not getting done around here. DH is always doing his own thing and doesn't lend a hand.... he just figures that I'll get it done! HE only helps to stack the boxes and organize them.... I guess that's been a help too. Agh. I'm just so frustrated because he's not around to help with this and I'm going to have to repack everything.
When will I ever have time to just do the things that I want and need to do?
Sorry... I'm rambling again.
I did drink more water.... in fact, I drank 8 glasses of water and that's simply not heard of for me. I'm proud of that but I was hoping to see the scale budge a little.
Still 139.0 lbs
Goal for day: Continue with drinking water. Try to get some 'formal' exercise in..... try and find the time as I have to take both my DD's to different outings on different ends of the town! I think I'll be in the car most of the day. Lol.
sorry could not post earlier due to net connectivity issues.
did 10 km stationary cycling, 15 minutes walking and 600 steps eliptical today and tried to be in limits while eating, had 3-4 cups of green tea
almost a perfect day, lets see the result tomorrow
@shy-- thank u soooooooooooooooo much dear, i really need to lose fast, i am thinking that hubby is taking me for granted
I'm sure you will lose if you had a perfect day....
What do you mean that you hubby is taking you for granted? Please clarify.
Thanks.
I'm going to cross my fingers, toes, arms and legs for you Raymh!
Good luck!
