wow i haven't been keeping up with this thread like i used to o.o
pretty much i didn't gain a pound at camp last month.. and i ate like CRAP! i had tons of pizza on 2 different occasions, donuts for breakfast one day, OLIVE GARDEN, and chinese food. i still ran, but the last week of camp i didn't run at all because i had gotten to know everybody and wanted to spend my 1 hour of free time having fun instead of being on a treadmill. lol. whatev.
since i've gotten home i haven't been exercising as much. my friend and i try to go running about 3 miles every other day and that's going well. but i definitely haven't been exercising like i was before.. and i haven't been counting my calories to a T (still loosely). but guess what.... i haven't gained anything at all.

i know the secret.

it is.... NEVER EAT UNTIL YOU ARE FULL! only eat until you are not hungry anymore!

since i've been doing this, i've discovered i can eat anything i want. o__o so i don't need to be crazy obsessive about calories like i used to be (it was becoming a realllly bad obsession). just thought i would share with those that don't know~ XD

^ OMG! you lost nearly 20 lbs in just 2 weeks? ahhh so jealous! I don't even eat dessert and all my snacks are either fresh fruit or granola bars. I'm also staying away from too much pasta/carbs, cheese, sugars, starch, juice, soda & I'm on week 7 and I've only lost a max of 13lbs. I exercise like crazy 2-3 hours daily and drink up to 3L of water some days. I love your diet too, I wish I could eat like that and still lose weight. SIGH...

GAHH!!! It was a typo!!! I'm sorry to disappoint you. But you are doing so good!!!!! 13 pounds! Congrats! I've only lost 1/2 pound, but gained a couple in muscle when I first started exercizing, lost that much in fat plus a couple more, but then gained a pound on vacation (eek). I wish I could loose 20 pounds in two weeks (even though i know that that will be really unhelathy), it will make this whole dieting thing a WHOLE lot easier.

So anyways, here is today:

Day 15!!!!
Height: 5'10''
Start Weight: 146.5
Goal Weight: 136 (141 by the 22nd)
Current Weight: 146

Breakfast: Zone Bar
Lunch: Lean Cuisine Ravioli
Snack: 1/2 pita w/ 2tbsp hummus
Dinner: Lean Cusine Panini
Throughout the day: I had a couple of nuts and a couple of dried pineapple rings
Total caloric intake: 1000-1200 (not really sure, but i know it was a little low, it is supposed to be bad for you to go under 1200, but i just wasn't that hungry!)

Water: 2L

Exercise: 1 hour of Tae Kwon Do

Lol there you are, yeah I noticed I haven't seen you for a while and actually started wondering where you were since you're like the biggest inspiration in this thread o.o but your eating motto is pretty much correct

Tomorrow, 11 August, I'll start my dieting for sure. I'll start with running in the early morning. Yay. xD

I don't know why but quite a lot of people commented that I'm gone a bit skinny round the face, or overall...maybe because they haven't seen me for a pretty long while but eh, I'm still the same weight o.O

[sugarrrxxx]

Here's another secret:
Eating something spicy kicks up your metabolism by about 25%

-random-
and if you want to get rid of the spiciness just eat bread or drink milk.
Bread works better though.

-slice of bread with butter
-3 muffins with almond ice cream

[touchthesky]

^ it's ok to indulge a bit now and then. I have a cheat day where I don't exercise for that one day and eat anything I want. It's only healthy to have cravings and satisfying them periodically is healthy too. Celebrities have 6 day a week workouts and leave a free day to indulge (i.e. Jessica Alba). Just don't make it a habit of eating junk food excessively. btw, I love your avatar

that is sooo good to know. ive been getting a lot better at cutting back on junk food but sometimes i just gotta pig out.
and thank you ^^
