Hello BUDDYSLIM! 

So overall today went okay. I went to the gym and I took an hour “step” class which was really hard because the moves were pretty crazy but it was definilty a good workout. Also, I did the eliptical for 15minutes prior to class. So working out wise I did awesome!!!

Food, was interesting. Today I ate: 3 slices of deli turkey (good) a health shake (good) and a piece of pizza and mozz sticks(BAD). So I was off to go start.

I can honestly say I enjoy working out, it really picks my mood up for the whole day… I just need to make sure I have the motivation to go everyday. ( THANK YOU ALL FOR THE BOOSTER NOTES, IT MOTIVATED ME TO GO TODAY)… well tomorrow my goals are to: Go to kickboxing and do 30 min. on the eliptical before class to get me warmed. up.

I realized that the secret to eating healthy is understanding that we should eat food to live, not live to eat.

Other than that today went well. They finally fixed the hot water in my building!! Yay to a long hot shower!!!!

Talk to you tomorrow

Hello ALL!! Thank you very much for all of the support. All the cute messages with the pictures and phrases really motivated me today. So I did not eat that great, BUT I went to the gym (1st time in a month!!!). AND IT FELT GREAT! I went on the eliptical at level 4 for 35minutes. I think its a great start. I feel better mentally and physically. I was kinda bummed because what I did go to the gym my favorite trainer Chrissy wasn’t there ( she always motivates me and pushes me). But I am taking her class tomorrow..

Today my fiance wanted to go out to eat to KFC, I said how about subway and he said he didn’t want to. I need to learn more willpower. I am definitly and emotional eater, when I am happy, sad, angry etc I eat. So that is something for me to work on (ANY SUGGESTIONS would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I rethought the liquid diet and decided against it because it is a quick fix and obviously as quick as I loose it, I will most likely gain it back. I am going to attend weight watchers.

Goals for tomorrow:

Workout: 35 minutes on the elipitical and 1 hour “hi lo” class with Chrissy at the Gym

Food: Since I am not starting weight watchers until next week I am going to eat:

2 scrambled eggs and an apple for brunch= 156 +110=266 cal

Carrot Sticks for a snack = 35 cal

2 pieces of grilled chicken for dinner = 360 cal

(1) weight watchers ice cream snack for desert = 170 cal

 On another note,

I am going to stop smoking soon! I have ordered the patches through quitsmokingny.com.. wish me luck and feel free to leave any suggestions

Hi! I am 21 year old college student and I am obese! But I am ready to turnt his all around and be happy with myself. Previously, I did a liquid diet with a doctor and I lost 40 ponds in two months. Unfortunatly, I went off of it and gained 20 pounds back. I think part of the problem is that you could replace a shake with 2 hardboiled eggs, and I did. Then I just kept replacing meals with other things and before I knew it, I was eating pizza etc.

I think also part of the challenge that I am going to face is my fiance. He (who is also heavy) tells me that I get to “into things” and that I shouldn’t do extreme weight loss. But it is something I want to do but it is very hard to loose weight when he is eating cosntatnly around me. Or, in the past I would be drinking a shake and he would ask “What do you want to do tonigt?” I would respond: go to a movie. He would say he wanted to go out to eat and to a movie, when I said no I can’t he would say that my diet is affecting him and now he can’t have fun because of me. ”

People that I have to support me are definitly my mother and my dad. Although they come off rude, they are very supportive. Whenever I see either of my parents they constantly tell me how fat I am and that I need to loose weight.

Another support that I have is one of the trainers at the gym. Although I haven’t been in almost a month, I know that when I start going tomorrow she will be very supportive.

 Also whats motivating me is that I am very young and I feel like my weight is holding me back. Whenever I walk into a class I always feel like everyone is staring saying “look at the fat girl.” I DO NOT want to feel like this anymore. My longterm goal is to be able to wear something sexy for halloween and feel comfortable in int.

My goal for tomorrow is to stick to the liquid diet which consists of (4)shakes and (1) bar = 800 cal. Also, to attend the class: Hi-Lo at my gym and to walk for 30 minutes on the eliptical.

Wish me luck on my weight loss journey
