all of you are so inspiring!!

i need to lose my freshman 15...so i guess i will start posting in here every once in a while. i have always been chubby, but since i went to college i have ballooned to a huge size! although it is a lot of weight, i still want to loose 15-20 lbs by the beginning of school (late august).
just to give you an idea of my current health state...ill go over what i ate today:::
height: 5'2
current weight: 143 lbs
goal weight: 125-20 lbs
breakfast: 1 applesauce + 1 oreo
lunch: 1 club sandwich + chips
dinner: hibachi shrimp + fried rice + zucchini
beverages: water + lemon, sweet tea

as you can see...i am a fat girl and i like eating like one.
hopefully i can start keeping it under control and actually restart my workouts!

[rachellee39]

How's everyone doing? =)
I did okay today.
Was feeling a little guilty over the chocolate sundae but I can't, cos it was so good!!
Here's today's food intake:
Brunch:
1 chocolate overload sandwich cake
½ orange
32 cashews
7 malt biscuits
Some cream cheese

Snack: ½ orange
25 cashews
1 hazelnut brunch bar

Dinner:
fried chicken + rice
roasted Pumpkin and chickpea
1 medium double chocolate sundae
25 cashews
1 hazelnut brunch bar
Some cream cheese
3 malt biscuits
30 mins medium bike

is 5'2 and 93 pounds too light?

wow...that seems really light if you ask me.That's a really low BMI.
We really aren't recommended to go under the recommended BMI range.
But I guess we all have differing idea of what ideal weight we want.
But most importantly, is to be healthy. =)

[~xStarryx~]

~xStarryx~ - Yeah! See, I knew you could do it and hehe I notice you got DDR like me.
It's so fun isn't it? Tell me what level your on ;-) and if you progress btw I never heard of "Dancing Stage"
is that a new game? What kind of songs you got? >.< Sry for the questions, I'm just really curious cuz I am
obsessed with DDR XD.

Well it's only just come so I have no idea how to work it yet haha I just put it on workout mode and burn off 400cal. I think Dancing Stage is the same as DDR but an European version, probably different songs and stuff. I was looking through people's posts on here and lots of people were talking about working out on DDR so I looked it up on Wikipedia and I've got Dancing Stage Max which is supposed to be like Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2. I have absolutely NO idea how to work it though but I'll figure it out eventually lol! Also I'm pretty *cough*very*cough* bad at it haha XD. The songs on there are most classic European pop ones ;] but there's some that's the same as the US version, e.g. Fatboy Slim - Wonderful Night. There should be alot more songs then I can find atm though I'll try and find them and work out the game!

@loveof: That's v. light, aim a little higher? How old are you? I reckon the lowest you should go for is 100 - 103lbs (well 101 is the lowest to have a healthy BMI... but if you're young than I think it's ok to a bit lower? Not sure...)

Mishel89: of course it ain't too late to join ! And I'll help you out, I know quite a bit... I just don't have much motivation to follow . I've become better since I've started posting here .

mangmang22: Good luck~! To lose 15-20lbs by August, you'll have lose about 2.3 lbs per week which is about 1200 per day. If you eat 1300cal a day (of healthy stuff) and then burn an extra 100cal or so, you'll be all good for the goal .

I think there's something wrong with my scales!! 3 days ago I was 119, then overnight I suddenly put on 2 lbs and then lost it again yesterday. What is up with that?? I did NOT eat 7000cal more than I burned. GRR. It's one of the non-electronic scales aswell...

But I'm still at 119 which is good, and I'm trying so hard to not eat too much like I did at every other weekend before... there was my grandad's bday cake in the fridge and I did not even eat a slice ! I'm so proud of myself haha. I'm going to the post office now so that makes 20mins walking. And then tennis with my bro and dad later before more DDR... Just make those extra 14lbs go away!

Current weight loss: 3 pounds!!!! XD wh00t

[loveof]

that's isn't my goal weight..
i was trying to determine if i should gain some lean muscle weight..
i'm 14 almost 15 in a month. so 5'2 and 93 pounds is unhealthy?
i guess i should gain 5 pounds.

[teeny]

would you guys say that eating sashimi is a good to eat when your on a diet?

[Kimdirect]

^
I'm pretty sure that sashimi is not that bad since it is just fish. But you shouldn't eat too much! Most fish that they make into sashimi (especially salmon) is really fatty. The fats are good fats (Omega 3s) but you still shouldn't eat too much.

[bl00ey]

Day 5:
I think I ate a lot today too =( Man I need to cut back on the food portion.
Breakfast: honey oats Cereal with strawberries + milk
Lunch: 1/2 serving of pasta or less, 2 lemon bars

Gym: 1 hour cardio = 600 calories burned, 3 sets of 20 leg press, 3 sets of 20 abdominals, 2 sets of 20 of triceps, pushups

I feel like my eating is balancing off my gym workout which amounts to no weight loss. Since my weight has been fluctuating all the time during the day, i'm not even sure if I'm losing weight for sure...

Start Weight- 90 lbs.

have you ever considered not dieting? to be honest, 90lbs isn't exactly "fat" or heavy in any way. also if you're under 18, then you're still developping so your weight really shouldn't be that big of an issue.

and another thing, its only day5 and you've lost 1lb. that is hardly slow by any means as people are advised that 2lbs a week is best if you want to keep the weight off. it also seems that you're starving your body of nutrients and as a result your metabolism rate has lowered.

[caseyluvr]

Lunch - PBJ on whole wheat bread.
Snack - 2 Bananas
