Woohoo, your weightloss is lookin awesome!

I need to get back on track, and as soon as thanksgiving is over, I PLAN on getting back down.  I don't ever wanna see 150 again - ever ever!  Lol.

Hmm 16.8lbs in less than a month's time... might be super difficult, but dunno about impossible.  Good luck =)

-Alisha-

Hey -

I just went through all your pictures on myspace and checked 'em out.  You're so pretty!  =)  Loved the wedding photos...  you and your hubby are an adorable couple!

-Alisha-

Hey -

<3

Ash

Hey -

You're doing so great!

I've been thinking of just buying the book and products and doing it, no meetings. I've been so out of control lately, I think actually following the points will get it through my head that what I'm eating is all wrong..

Ash

my stats are very similar but i'm shorter then you.

165+/158/102   blah 5'4

congrats girl, you'll get there soon.

wow your so close to being out of the 160's!! keep it up !!:D

I love weightwatchers for the reason is there are SOO many different websites devoted to points so anything you eat you can figure out the points! they even have online point calculators that figures out points in foods you have at home

i love weight watchers!! when i am done my 500 calories a day plan i will go back on it, its sooo good!

Hey -

Keep us posted. I always think about doing weight watchers, I think the points is a fabulous idea.

Ash

all it takes to lose weight is a plan, determination, and a vision.

I used to weigh 190.
now I am at 145.

glad your back!!!

I am sure the weight will come off!!! I am starting back up again too!! I am 140... i was so disappointed, I am hopefully back down to the 130's, but i dont have a scale and I wont have one until 2 weeks, so hopefully there will be a dramatic change!!

Happy Birthday!

btw..I've been reading your diary for awhile, with your weight loss attempts.

I picked up jogging about 2 years ago..and am in the best shape of my life...and also, working out.
Maybe instead of just watching what you eat..start jogging, or biking also

Again, happy birthday!

[Evision]

Hey -

Happy birthday!!

Ash

you have it too! [i'm referring to the little  indent just below your belly button] everyone thinks its strange...i think unusual is beautiful :]

congrats on your steady loss and good luck with the next wiegh in!

Hey -

Cutie pie. I have missed your pictures, you're the only person who regularly shares their body pics.

Ash

my tummy looks like yours. if i would wear my pants lower in my pics, i have the same tiny pooch, with the lines for my hips, and the indent in the middle. omg. i love that you have that little indent circle area[like 2inches lower then your belly button], i have that and so does my brother, most people think it's different. i think it's cute:)

you're very pretty.

glad you're feeling better.

I know that you probably think about this and that you don't need me lecturing or bashing, so I'm just going to say a small blurb and be on my way; fair enough?

The hot chocolate probably isn't a good idea unless you eat some protien with it. Eat less if it helps you lose weight, I agree. But...you know...some food that gives you energy will make your body do great things, I promise.

Oh, and your face is absolutely beautiful (your tummy isn't as horrible as you seem to think either).

Hey -

I hope you feel better soon!

Ash

Hey -

Wooo WOoo! Sick or not, you're doing well.

Ash

i hope you get better soon. *hug*

xx

melody.

i hope u feel better soon.

Hey -

I don't mind the elliptical, but I don't think I could bear it for 500. I get too bored! Which is strange, because I could go forever on a treadmill. I put it on an incline, speed it up, and the calories tick over at 1 calorie per 5 seconds! It's so great, and I'm not even jogging!

Ash

Are those pictures of you, and you think you need to lose weight?  If so, that's scary! I expected to see an overweight girl!!!!!!!!   If you get any  thinner there won't be any you left - if these are really pics of you, you  had better see a therapist FAST!  My God, your hip bones are literally sticking out in that swimsuit picture!!!!

P.S.  Nice touch, that picture of Twiggy in the background.

Hey -

Isn't it funny how models stretch their bodies out...

Congratulations on your loss! What a great start!

Ash

The need and Drive to be skinny!

It can be a pwerful thing! just dont let i run you life!

Hey -

You're so pretty. Have you changed your hair?

Ash

Hey -

I am READY!! Let's do this!

Ash

Hey -

I love mac and cheese. It will be the death of me!

Ash

Hey -

I find it easier to pass up junk now that I am aware of how long it takes me on a treadmill to burn it off. I average about 400 cals per hour on the damn thing, so I'm not really going to throw away 160 cals on a stupid can of soda!

Ash

i've added you.

need more thinspo, while dealing with my disorders.

talking to other girls/women, that deal with it to, helps me make it through...

-fadingobsession

Stay strong, Carrie.

I love you.

I will miss u, u've always been one of my favs but ppl do move on

[thin to be]

good luck with everything, i always enjoyed reading your diary

I know what you mean about writing in it as you get older, i write less and less and feel i dont need to write all the things that happened... but i still enjoy reading a selected few diaries

Hey -

How weird.

I know what you mean about moving on. Sometimes I think of leaving, but I have nothing else and nowhere else to express myself, so I think that is why I Am still here.

The site definately has less meaning for me now, though. I've only been here three years, but when I first started, I was 18, and I was so happy to have people to talk to.

Now I'm almost 22 and I feel like I'm 'old'. Every new person I start reading is still in school, or just out of school.

We'll miss you, but I'm glad you left a goodbye note.

ASh

Quit saying you are wasting away.

If you are Wasting away, You would have been wasted by now.

WastingAway gives readers a sense that you may be dieing.

Your not dieing are you ?

Ofcourse not.

Your Body nevers stops working for you.

-PURESHEILD- I am Natural Walker, I like to Walk.

Hello!

I found you entry one I could relate to.

I am 18 years old and I have struggled with my weight since I began middle school.  My sixth grade year, I weighed about 170 pounds at 5 foot 6.  By the 7th grade, I reached 200 pounds.  I was devastated and I vowed to do something about it.

My weight lost plan was as follows: 

- 1.  Stop eating when I'm bored and drink lots of water (no more than 1 soda per day).

- 2.  Eat healthier and in smaller portions.

- 3.  Dance like crazy in my

freetime with the bedroom door locked and the music blaring.

- 4.  Never count calories.

- 5.  No fast food more than once every 3 weeks.

The first rule was because I found myself eating when I was bored, depressed, or tired.  I would eat because it was somewhat like an escape.  When I was tired, I would eat and then fall asleep and I realized that wasn't helping me at all.  All it was doing was storing fat as I was asleep.  Also, I was drinking up to 5 soda's a day which has no nutritional value whatsoever.  Just by that one rule, I began noticing a big difference and a huge energy burst (drinking soda on an empty stomach can cause major energy meltdowns).

The second rule was because when I ate, it was mostly fried, oily food.  And I would eat in large portions almost until I didn't feel like walking.  Just by eating a ceasar salad with some ham in it made a huge difference in my mood and my metabolism.

Dancing was a way to exercise and release a lot of stress.  I could just let loose for about 10-15 minutes per day.  It was something to look foward to because I could brush up on my dance skills, and it was a big energy booster.  Plus, it gave me amazing results.

The reason I didn't count calories was because at times, that can make you become obsessed.  Your body needs about 1,000 calories per day to function correctly.  Less can cause you to be less energized and could even slow your metabolism.  The best thing to do is avoid carbs as much as possible and try to eat in smaller portions.

After using this plan for about 3 months, I lost 30 pounds and I don't even know how many inches.  I was down to 170 pounds at 5'7.   By the time I reached my sophomore year, I was 150 pounds at 5'8.  Now I am pregnant with my first child (very excited) and I am 165 pounds at 5'8.  I vow to use my weight loss plan after the baby is born, although the music blaring part will not be allowed...but hell, who needs music?

I hope I helped you in some sort of way.  The main thing is to create a weight loss plan that works for you and counting calories seems to always make others obsess and it doesn't make it fun.

You are an Americna Idol eating like that.

MmmGood!

_PURESHEILD

Models are not a skinny as they seem.

You do not have to look like one.

I like you just the way you are.

You should be happy with yourself.

Its about your self-Esteem, Not what others think.

Others do not think of the way you look anyway.

They are to busy in their own lives to notice you.

-PURESHEILD

ooh, im not sure if I want to see number 23. Im not use to seeing Jim Carrey in those kind of rules. It looks really good, but I'm afraid it'll turn out all stupid. just dont wanna waste my money.

Ah well..have a great night!

: )

Hey -

I've had a sore throat, too. Luckily, it is a bit better today.

ASh

Hey -

What were you going to Court for? I have forgotten, I'm sorry.

Ash

Hey -
I am lost with my goals at the moment. I don't know where I want to get and how soon I want to get there, but I know I don't want to be this fat right now!!!

Ash

Hey -

I'm going to get an elliptical or something similar. I've decided, lol. I read about you burning cals on yours and I WANT ONE!! I'm starting to save for one TODAY!

Ash

I go to yoga it's awesome!! 

I love that pic too!!

wow your skinny. don't lose any more "weight" or it will be unhealthy
(as long as that is a pic of you) and besides i am 14 and i weigh 107, so your weight is average.

It seems like you're doing very well. Keep up the hard work!

Deirdre~

Your doing so great girl! Keep up the good work and you will reach your goal in no time, I've seen you do it before and I'd bet money you will do it again. I believe in ya

800 crunches...amazing, I think I would die lol

Hey -

I have the same question. Maybe I'm not positioned right, because my lower back gets sore so easily.

ASh

our numbers pretty much coincide lol. i'm 155 and my final goal is 120.

i've been bitchy lately myself on the count of being hungry. sucks. i so wish that i lived on my own and could have no food in the house. i live with my <obese> grandmother and there's always all kinds of delicious freaking food around here it's horrible.

Hey -

I've been going to bed early, because I'm tired, but it means I miss my late-night-snacking-frenzy.

Congratulations on reaching your goal early!

Ash

yes great picture

i too an at a high weight i was 156.0 this morning. i get the feeling from reading different entried on this site that i'm not the only person who's weight fluctuates it goes back and forth extremely.

i was a size 22 in high school, dropped to a size 0 when i was 20, back up to a 10, back down to a 3, up to a 12, then up to 214 pounds when i was pregnant and now i'm in a 10. but i swear to GOD if i can ever get thin again i will not ever gain again!

Hey -

Happy birthday!

Ash

Hey -

I like to sweat, too. But only from working out! It makes me feel like I'm doing a good job, that I'm sweating my fat away.

Ash

dont worry about being at your highest weight, it will come off eventually. You're working really hard, LOVE that pic of posh, she looks so fab.

Goodluck hun,

<3

Gemz xXx

i too am at a high weight...

i hate it, it makes me feel like such a slob...

-ava

i hate the media for this exact reason! everyone thinks they have to be thin and once their thin they are just gorgeous but when do you know if your thin or if you are just going overboard?? i was anorexic for 8 yrs, i wasnt bad for awhile but when i got bad it was BAD! be careful be safe and eat. sub way is good for you tho and i love subway!!! you may not have an eating disorder but becareful for the future my darling. well hope all goes well!

I'm sure it'll be cute once it heals. Look for Tattoo Goo ointment to put on it. It will sooth it more and will help it heal quicker without scaring.

The pain from a tattoo depends on the placement and your personal pain tolerance levels. If you can take pain well, then it won't hurt if you get it on your lower back or another fleshy area. If you are a sissy and cry over a paper cut, then chances are you'll scream during a tattoo. Areas like the lower back sides, arms, shoulder blades, legs, thighs and fleshy areas arn't too painful because the nerves are farther down under the skin. Areas like the ribs, feet, wrists, spine, chest, etc will be more uncomfortable if at all tolerable. I've seen grown men cry while having a chest piece done or having their ribs tattooed. However, I've seen women not even flinch while having a spine or foot tattoo completed. (I.E. Women have higher pain thresh holds than men do because we are equipted to bare children. We can take more pain without being effected by it too badly....who's the stronger gender, now? lol.)

Hey -

I love the girl on the beach's hair.

I've been thinking of throwing in the towel. Obviously there's a fat girl deep inside of me who wants to get out and cover the world in her fat, so why fight so hard? My family are all tubby, I don't fit in. And I see fat people and picture my face on them, 'See, its not so bad'. It's different when I look in the mirror though.

Ash

i'm stuck in the same situation you are...i hate it!

-ava

Hey -

I wish I had that body. Look at those perky little boobs. Damn it.

I want a tattoo, but I would never be able to decide what to get and where.

Ash

I'm dunno about the chest or hip i dunno i just freak out that if i put on weight those are the areas and it might stretch.  Good idea for the design though.

i would stay away from hip/belly tattoo because if you planto have children one day that tattoo will balloon to a big size and stretch

also if you do want a tattoo make sure you choose something that you will be happy with no matter what and if your not sure then wait to get it

good intake :D

[humdinger]

i think the palm tree on the shoulder blade would be cute, just like a couple others mentioned.

i noticed that you eat a lot of cheese...cheese isn't bad or anything, but half of the cals in every serving of cheese are fat cals, so not totally eliminating cheese, but cutting back, would probably help you reach your goal faster.

good luck with reaching your goal!
much love,

*jenn*
