Day #3

Like yesterday, I've done 300cals on the dance mat, and 50 sit ups. When I first got up I weighed 8st 1 (113lbs), and then after exercise 7st 13.5lb (111.5lbs), so it looks like this time next week I should be at my 8st goal =D

Food Eaten:
Breakfast - Nothing
Lunch - Soup and 1 slice bread (300)
Dinner - Chicken and Vegetable Noodle Stir Fry (600)

Total: 900

Not too bad, now let's just see if I can keep it up

Day #2

This morning I did about 40 minutes on the dance mat, which it said burnt 300cals, I probably did more like 200, maybe 250, but it's still something. I just did 30 sit ups, my stomach is quite flat anyway, so I think that's enough, I'll try and do 35-40 tomorrow.


Food: (eek, messed up a lot)

Breakfast - Weetabix (200cal)
Lunch - Biscuit Bar (100 cal)
Tea - Salad + quiche (300)
Sweets - 660!!!!!!!!!

Total: 1260!!!

It's still under my initial limit, but I ate a LOT of sugar, they were low fat, but still. Fail, I'll just do better tomorrow :)

I'm back... Again.

I am back after my 3 weeks of epic fail. Before I had my 2-day-binge-turned-into-3-weeks I was 7st 13, now I am 8st 3. Gained 4lbs. It's weird though, my hip bones stick out way more than they used to, but I am 4lbs heavier? It can't be muscle because I have done next to no exercise.

I find that I can diet successfully for about 2 weeks, and then I binge for weeks. I'm going to try maybe eating a little more, but exercising more too. Here's my plan:

28 days (I heard thats how long it takes to form a habit?)

Week 1 - 1400 calories (per day, god I'm a pig.)
Week 2 - 1300 calories
Week 3 - 1200 calories
Week 4 - 1100 calories

This won't get me down to my goal (unless there's some miracle), but hopefully It will get me back under 8st (maybe 7st 12?). I'm going to aim to be 105lbs by the beginning of april, I'll post a more detailed thing soon, just going to catch up on peoples blogs =D

Major Binge Alert.

Today & yesterday = FAILURE.

Yesterday I must have eaten around 2000, and its only 10:15 AM and I've already eaten like 1000. I'll try and salvage whats left of today, but I just need to make sure I exercise & eat less next week.

I think the main cause was that I've been at 8st (112lb) for about 5 days. Goodbye, I will not weigh myself until friday when hopefully I Will be 7st 13 (111lb). Until then I'll probably just read, maybe the occasional food post.

--- Day #7 ---

Back down to 7st 13lb (111lb). Hopefully I wont go back up to 8st tomorrow =D

Food: (900 cal limit)
2 weetabix w/ skimmed milk - 200
special k - 90
cabbage - 30
carrots - 30
chicken - 200
roast potatoes - 350

Total - 900 cal. (phew.. only just :D )

My goal for the end of january is 108lbs, that means (assuming I'm 111lb tomorrow morning) I have to lose 3lbs in 3 weeks, which I know I can do! I really need to start running again, the weathers just been so bad I haven't been able to go. I've been doing sit ups, but apart from that and walking to/around school I'm not exercising at all. I'll start running as soon as the ice clears =D Until then, well as long as I'm losing weight not gaining it will be OK =D

...Day #6...

Day #6 is over! I went back up to 112 (8stone) this morning, which I thought would happen but I was still disappointed. I'm hoping to be back at 7st 13lb (111lb) tomorrow morning.

I think I went a little over 800 today because of the snow we got sent home so I couldn't skip lunch, but only by around 60 cals, I've eaten less than my limit enough so far to make up for it.

Food: (800 cal limit)

1 Weetabix w/ skimmed milk- 100 cal
1 brown roll - 170 cal
soup - 110 cal
Beans on toast - 370 cal

Total - 750 cals

Wow, I thought I'd had like 900, I can't remember what I must have added up wrong to get that? Lol.

I really CBA to go to school tomorrow so I'm wishing for snow/ice overnight to make school close =D I don't think I'd be lucky enough for that to happen todays in a row, but I can dream right?

Day #5 ~

Stepped on the scale this morning to find..... 7 stone 13 pounds! (Thats 111lbs). Finally! I am actually below 8 stone. I checked it twice (xmas flashback. lol) and it wasn't a fluke! I actually am 111lbs!! So todays food intake:

Goal intake/limit - 1200
Weetabix - 200 cal
Galaxy - 40 cal
1/2 chicken roll - 200 cal (at most, probably more like 150)
Spaghetti Bolegnese - 550?
Lollipop - 60
Total intake - 1050

I managed to give away most of my galaxy! I'm pleased with myself because that's like my favourite. I had one square and gave the other 5 to my friends. They of course, scoffed it down. I will probably have 2 starbursts, so that will bring my intake up to 1090, which is still below my limit. Seen as this was my High-cal day I will probably go up to 112lbs in the morning (hopefully not, but I'm preparing myself.. lol), but tomorrow is my low cal day so hopefully I'll get to 111.25lb on thursday or something like that :) Good luck everyone, 2010 rocks so far.

I <3 Starburst. LOL

So I was sitting here on the laptop, thinking about eating a starburst. I looked up the number of calories in 1 peice - 20 cals. Not to bad considering I was 200 cals under my limit today. I have a 240 cal galaxy chocolate bar hiding in my school bag, I'm not sure whether I should have 2 blocks tonight and 3 tomorrow, or just scoff it all tomorrow. I suppose if I eat it at break I could probably give at least 2/3 blocks to my friends, that would bring it down to 160/120 cals. I think thats what I'll do seen as it is my 1200 cal day tomorrow.

It's been said that it might snow tonight which would be AWESOME! especially if it snowed heavy enough for school to close! But that has only happened once, but it was last year so if we're lucky... The only thing is if we have the day off school on wednesday that will make it almost impossible to do an 800 cal day.

My Plans for Tomorrow & Wednesday:

Tomorrow: 1200 cal/Semi-Binge Day

2 weetabix w/ skimmed milk - 180
1/2 galaxy bar - 120
1/2 roll/sandwich - 200 (probably less, but just to be safe)
Dinner - 600 cal
Snack - 50 cal

Planned Total - 1150

Wednesday - 800 cal.

1 weetabix w/ skimmed milk - 120
Special K - 90
Tea - Maximum 550 cal.

Planned total - 760 cal.

I will be under 113lbs tomorrow. I will be under 113lbs tomorrow. I will be under 113lbs tomorrow. I will be under 113lbs tomorrow. I will be under 113lbs tomorrow. I will be under 113 lbs tomorrow. I will. Good Night (or morning/afternoon, Lol)

Day #4

Day 4 is almost over!!

I was still 113, but only just, Hopefully I'll be about 112.8 tomorrow. So let's see if I finished today with an acceptable amount of calories -

Weetabix - 200 cals .
Special K bar - 90 cals.
Chicken/Pasta salad - 550 cals (at most)

Total - 840 cals =D

Managed to avoid dinner so that brings my total to 840 cals out of my 1100 cal limit, so today was successful! Tomorrow is a 1200 cal day so that will be easy, then wednesday is an 800 cal day, which shouldn't be too bad. I know I eat like twice as much as most of you, but it's about what I can do without people noticing, which would be awful.

Just going to catch up on everyones blogs, we can do this!

Last day of freedom...

School Tomorrow. In some ways I'm looking forward to it and in some ways I really hate it. The Good thing is it means It is WAY easier to restrict my calories, I'm smaller now than when I last went to school, I am more active during the day, I get to see my friends (who I secretly hope have gained weight over christmas, well not my Best friend but...). The bad thing is well, it's obvious really - work & homework, getting up a 6:15 every morning.

On the bright side, my hip bones are sticking out more than they were when I was 120lbs, I can faintly see my ribs when I'm standing normally, they stick out when I suck in and stuff like that, my elbows stick out more, so quite a good month really.

It's a 1000 calorie day so it shouldn't be too hard, I've done my set of 25 sit ups (obviously I will increase the amount each week)but I'm not running today.

I can't wait until spring now. It means that the field will be dry so I can run as much as I want, hopefully I will have reached my goal by then and it's my birthday. Every time I feel like binging I just think about how I look now and how I want to look and the craving just disappears.

Sorry for that really long post, just to let you know I read everyone's blogs I can, and you keep me motivated and inspire me to carry on.

Day #3 Food

Todays Limit - 1000


Food Eaten -

1 weetabix w/ skimmed milk - 100 cal
Soup - 200 cal
Beef stew - 600 cal
4 fruit pastilles - 50 cal

Total - 950 cal

Day 3 was successful, I think tommorow I'll start putting how many consecutive days I've gone without exceeding my limits, so today would be 3. It would be a miracle if I could be 8st tomorrow, or even 8st 0.5lb (112/112.5lb). Only 7lbs to reach my goal. I will do it this time.

Exercise/Workout Plan & Thinspo

I want to be able to WIN the race on 'sports day' (lmfao?) not come 3rd. This should be easy enough considering I WILL be 10lbs lighter, and fitter from the work that puts me there. Last I finished it in about 8-9 minutes. I was only about 5-10 seconds behind the person that came second but way behind the person that came 1st.

That means that last year I was running at about 11.25 kilometres an hour, I want to run it in 6 minutes this year which means I will need to run at 15km an hour which is about 9 miles per hour. That is 4 minutes per km. That probably seems slow to some of you, but it's a good goal for me.

Anyway, back to the plan:

Week 1 - Run at least 4 times, at most 6 minutes per km(I measure it like instead of km/h because I'm using Nike+).
- Do 25 sit ups every day

Week 2 - Run at least 4 times, at most 5 minutes per km
- Do 30 sit ups every day

Week 3 - Run at least 4 times, at most 4m 45s per km
- Do 35 sit ups every day

Week 4 - Run at least 5 times, at most 4m 30s per km
- Do 40 sit ups per day

Week 5 - Run at least 5 times, at most 4m 30s per km
Do 45 sit ups per day

Week 6 - Run at least 5 times, at most 4m 20s per km
- Do 50 sit ups per day

Week 7 - Run at least 5 times, at most 4m 15s per km
- Do 50 sit ups per day

Week 8 - Run at least 5 times, at most 4m 10s per km
- Do 50 sit ups per day
- 3 x per week - Burn at least 100 calories (eg, jump rope, wii fit boxing, etc...)

Week 9 - Run at least 5 times, at most 4m 5s per km
- Do 50 sit ups per day
- 3 x per week - Burn at least 100 calories

Week 10 - Run at least 5 times, at most 4m per km
- Do 50 sit ups per day
- 4x per week - burn at least 100 calories

Week 11 - Run at least 5 times, burning at least 150 calories
- Do 50 sit ups per day
- 4x per week - burn at least 200 calories


God that post must have been so boring to read! Here's some thinspiration to make it worth your while:

Day #2 :)

Day 2/77 of my diet, I will keep going for the 77 days even if I reach 105 after like 50. This morning I was 114lbs (+1lb) from yesterday, but that is to be expected as it was water weight after a fast. Food Today:

Vegetable soup - 200 cal
1 slice brown bread - 100 cal
Tuna Pasta bake - 550 cal (at most, probably more like 400-500)

Total intake = 850 cal
This means I can have 100 cals worth of fruit pastilles (yay, I am addicted)
So once I add on 8 fruit pastilles = 100 cal

I went for a run earlier, ran for about 1km then walked - 100 cal
NET total - 850 cal

Going Crazy?

I got some chocolate/sweets for my birthday, and I counted them out so I could calculate how many calories per sweet. This doesn't make me sound mental right now, until I tell you there were 151 sweets in a big tub of smarties , 45 in the minstrels and 44 in the fruit pastilles.

This might only apply to people in the UK, but heres what I found out:

Calories Per sweet:
Smartie - 6 cal
Fruit Pastille - 12 cal
Galaxy Minstrel - 15 cal

Then I calculated how many of each I could have to make 50 calories (not exact, rounded down to whole sweets)

50 cal = 8 smarties
50 cal = 4 fruit pastilles
50 cal = 3 minstrels

I think I'm going to have to eat them, so I'll take one to school each day to get rid of, that means they should be gone by thursday. I'm going to keep the fruit pastilles and let myself eat 50 calories worth of them each day because they have no fat in them. I'll probably eat them just before I go to bed. I could have 100 cals worth on my higher calorie days.

Now who thinks I am slightly mental?

Day #1

Happy New Year!!!!


So I managed to fast yesterday, I didn't even drink anything. I haven't broken it yet, but I know I won't get away with fasting again so I'm just going to try and only eat 600ish calories.

I went on the Wii fit this morning, I am down 2lbs since tuesday! I currently weigh 8st 1lb!!(113lbs) This is my lowest weight since December 2008! I have 8 pounds to lose, which is less than I thought I would. I originally thought I would be at least 8st 5(117), probably more like 8st 8(120), but I managed to lose 3lbs this week. My current goal is to be 105lbs by March 20th. I don't think I will need that long, but that just means that if I fail one week I wont give up because I'll have time to sort it out.

I'm going to break my fast with some weetabix, then some fruit for lunch and finally whatever my mum makes for dinner (I'll try and get something low-cal.)

Today is a 1000 cal. day, so I should be able to keep under that easy enough.
