SDN Weight Watchers, Thread the Second

Phantasee · Post by **Phantasee** » 2007-03-16 01:51am

I suppose this is a good a time as any to join a bandwagon.

I've been losing weight since just before Christmas, I went from a high of 205 to about 193 right now. I was sick over the break, so I lost weight because of that, but I've also been spending time on the ice during free skates MWF. I'm scheduling my next semesters around the free skates, even. And today I worked out at the gym until I couldn't feel anything anymore. I'm gonna need a lot of Advil in the morning, but I'm sure it'll be worth it.

Also, I've gone from a 36 jeans to 34, which are loose. This is good, except I need new jeans, since my 34s are either torn up and covered in paint, or really long and ugly. I think I'm at a 33 though, so maybe I'll hold of until I loose enough inches to get into 32s...

The BMI says I should be around 160-170 or about that, but I don't really see it happening... 180 might be about right for me, I think. Or achievable, at least.

My arms hurt, so I'm gonna stop typing for now. But I'll be back!

ooh, new page!

See if there's some shinny hockey games going on at the rink. It makes you skate that much harder chasing the puck around, and since it's so much fun it makes time goes by a lot faster too. Just try not to go to hard for the first couple weeks, groin pulls really suck.

Odd.......... I just looked up my old goals here....... I realised that I been hitting those goals.... over, and over, and over again as i continously relapsed after the exams.

Its the same thing now, I just hit my goal of losing flab and gaining in cardio endurance, but after the exams and the consequent stress that laid, I'm back to being totally out of shape and regaining that 1 kg.

Not to mention regaining the flab around my tummy........

Just out of interest, I note that Big Orange appears to be following the Sugar Buster diet. How does it feel like in terms of energy? I been reading claims that the low GI foods allows people to have a more sustained flow of energy throughout the day so that they don't feel so tired....

ORD just 3 years back. The odd thing was, despite exercising more frequently now than I did in the slack year after I ORD, I actually lost fitness and gained weight.............

Hmm.. a dietary problem? Stress might actually cause people to gain weight for some reason.

ORD 3 years back? Hmmm... So did I actually.. in 2005.

Yeah... I guess you could try cutting down on snacks..

One thing for certain is that I have developed a much larger appetite than what I have back home and I would have to cut back on it when I return for a holiday.

Well, after eight months in the Army, my last weigh in had me at 184 pounds. The last time I weighed that was my Freshman year... of high school. My fourteen year old cousin is bigger than I am.

ARISE THREAD.

Well, for myself, I've actully gone and dropped 8kg in 6 months. Considering I've been growing quite abit over the past few months, I'd say thats not bad.

I have been miraculously staying at 180 pounds for the past several months despite a gain in eating snacks. Of course, I've been trying to moderate myself so that I don't eat like a thousand calories worth of candy in a day so hopefully I can keep my self-control in the green.

I wonder if I would've lost more if I stopped eating those snacks.

I just signed up to do the Herbal Magic plan. WW didn't work cause I hated going to a room filled with others even though I knew they all knew how I felt. Hopefully this works as I'll only have to deal with one person at a time.

I start the program tomorrow, wish me luck.

With dedication and no snacking etc... I'll be at my goal weight in a year.

Oh god I hope this works.

I lost about an inch and half of waist school pants bag on me, and I'm down to 189.

Mrs Kendall · Post by **Mrs Kendall** » 2007-05-28 01:15pm

Update: In 3 full days of being on the Herbal Magic plan I've lost 5 lbs!!
This is going very well

Edit: UPDATE! Still 5 lbs but now that I've been measured, I can now say I've also lost 7.5 inches as well

Been following along with Mrs Kendall's diet and I've lost 2 lbs.

Post by **Dalton** » 2007-06-05 03:35pm

I dropped 5.6 pounds on my first week of Weight Watchers.

Gained 3 on my second

Hopefully week 3 goes better.

Good job with the 5.6 lbs Dalton! Don't lose heart, I gained a pound monday because I was eating to much protein. Cutting that back has led to more progress.

Mrs Kendall · Post by **Mrs Kendall** » 2007-06-05 05:32pm

Awesome job Dalton!! Sometimes that happens but don't give up, you'll lose it again if you stick to it

Good luck! We all know losing weight is not an easy thing to do.

Soontir C'boath · Post by **Soontir C'boath** » 2007-06-05 05:34pm

I regained five pounds from eating a lot more than I should've since I came back home. I need to control myself and as well as playing handball again!

Mrs Kendall · Post by **Mrs Kendall** » 2007-06-08 03:17pm

UPDATE!!! 8.6 lbs and 10.5 inches lost so far

Big Orange · Post by **Big Orange** » 2007-06-08 03:22pm

I noticed that scumbags seem to be most insensitive and idiotic about body weight - even after losing tons of weight, being naturally large framed and only being mildly fat, dumb Chavs keep calling me a fat cunt...

Mrs Kendall · Post by **Mrs Kendall** » 2007-06-08 03:26pm

Just ignore them, they're looking to hurt your feelings so if you don't let that happen they'll see that it doesn't work on you and move onto the next person. Just keep telling yourself that what they are saying is their opinion only and if you hate chavs so much then their opinion shouldn't matter to you.

Mrs Kendall · Post by **Mrs Kendall** » 2007-06-13 07:05pm

9.5 lbs and 13.6 inches lost!! IN TWO POINT FIVE WEEKS!!
