I'm in!

Current Weight: 178

Weight by Christmas: 168

Goal Weight: 120

Hopefully this should get me back on the wagon. :)

jenny12386 is right about concentration, as is gi-jane about mood swings. being a college student myself, im guessing you've got quite a lot of studying to do and classes to be in and there's no way you can have full concentration when you haven't eaten. in my own experience, if i don't eat i feel a major slump. and it doesn't feel good. take our advice, eat little and often and you will feel better.

to be honest, i think hash should be legal. purely because you see all these stories (at least in scotland) about people who go out and get drunk and then behave in very violent ways. but when people are stoned they just sit in the corner and giggle!

however, i must add that a friend of mine was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and i think the hash really made it worse. so maybe not........

sorry, just a typo!

BMR + exercise + additional activity - calories consumed= deficit

i knew over a thousand was unhealthy, but is a thousand ok? i only ask because i joined one of those challenges and my total deficit for feb should be 28,000 - 1000 a day. to be honest im quite behind but is 1000 unhealthy, or is it only going over that?

my goal date is june 18th. that gives me 18 weeks. so if i lose 1-2lbs a week i should reach it in time. i think that's a reasonable time frame, but if im not at my exact goal weight, i won't be too worried. i rather spend an extra month getting there than losing weight quickly and putting it straight back on.

also, i went on the website mentioned before and it said i should be eating 2200 calories a day to maintain. but it also said that i was definitely overweight. 2200 sounds like a normal amount to eat (and its what i plan to go back to) but i do think undereating by 1000 calories is a bit ridiculous for a diet. im going to aim for 1600 most days and just get more exercise to lose weight. that way i won't starve and ill hopefully keep the weight off.

ok.... ou guys are getting quite mean.....

anyway, i think i might point out to CC what most of you guys are saying. the suggested calories obviously don't take my age into account. if i shouldn't be eating less than 1600 calories but CC tells me to only eat 1200 then im sure there are plenty of others here who are eating too little.

thanks for the help!

lmao... thanks!!

jessicasbc, i can top that. I AM 9LBS HEAVIER THAN I THOUGHT I WAS!

goddamnit! i knew my scales were out a little, but not by that much. im so angry i could have killed the old ones and the new ones! and i leave you with one piece of advice, which should help you, me and everyone else here.........

SCALES = EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i keep hearing people talk about this 30 shred in forums here. is it a workout dvd? if so, is it only available in the USA because it sounds damn good but im in the UK!

can't count yesterday because i was ill, so wasn't eating properly and didn't work out. still suffering slightly today but i will make up for it this coming week.

total - 2956/28,000

this week hasn't been so good.... i sort of fell off the wagon from wed onwards, not a ridiculous amount but enough to not lose any weight. however, ive joined a calorie deficit challenge group so hopefully that should get me moving again! anyway, here are my stats for this week!

SW - 161

LW - 155

CW - 155

GW - 133

measurements

B - 36" - no loss.

W - 28" - lost 1.5 inches.

H - 39" - gained an inch.

T - 25" - lost 1/2 inch.

last weeks goals

managed to work out three times so thats good. didnt quite manage 30 mins of interval training on the treadmill but i did do twenty! haven't eaten any processed food whatsoever so that really good. i think the closest ive come is a subway, but thats not too unhealthy! and it was to soak up all the alcohol i consumed :)

goals

1. meet my calorie deficit of 1000 per day (overall, so 7000 for the week).

2. drink less tea and coffee.
