I put on 8lbs while i was away 2 weeks and decided that was it, i needed to change my eating habits.

I lost 10lbs over 2 n a half weeks, though i never officially went on a diet, still ate pizza and bacon, but ate in moderation. It inspired me to lose more weight. I't been a few days since i weighed myself though and i've been abit naughty so i don't think i've lost much recently, but i have zumba tonight so i can work off those calories!

So, does anyone wanna be friends and share our journey in weight loss?

Just inbox for e-mail/IM address :)

Or of corse we can contact via this site, its just easier to use my personal e-mail.

thats awesome that youve taught yourself moderation and did it for two weeks.!!! I just think you need to keep your mind on the goal. I wanna know how you did your moderation? like how did you keep yourself from going back for more and such?

I think it was just putting on 8lbs over 2 weeks shocked me, but i needed that shock to stop me carrying on the way i always did. It just made me very calorie conscious.

The first few days were the hardest, it was like starvation to me after the amount i was eating to begin with.

I just had to pace myself, and kept in mind i needed to loose weight. I had to learn to say 'no thanks' to food. I'd eat a bacon sandwich and my mum would offer a second, but i'd say no. We got the take out pizza and i had to say no after 4 small slices (when everyone else had 6).

It's just about keeping yourself in line. Being strict with yourself.

I also started walking about 4 miles a day, just to greet my partner after work, and then we come back together in her car.

I also start selling cheesecakes as a job today and with the earnings from the high calorie pudding others will be eating, i'm going to join the gym with my sister.
