Weight Loss "All Liquid Diet" Jun 11 2008

Ha! I work with a doctor who drinks Coke all day long and is overweight and she tells people to lose weight because they are too 'fat'! Some are smaller than what she is!! I feel like saying "well you should set the example!" doctors should know better but obviously not! I reckon most of us on here know more about nutrition that alot of doctors do Smile

thanks for your replies... Its not any irritation from clothing as when I work out I work out in my underwear and only wear a bra and knickers (only do this at home, and I work out only at home apart from going swimming)

Well my boyfriend thought they might be veins that have burst as it looks a bit like blood has risen to the surface, thats what he thought bless him

its on the top of my thighs but its now spreading further down my thighs to my knees now, only a few here and there.. I've never had them before untill i started exercising 6 weeks ago...

no they arent itchy, when you press on them they dont dissapear and you can feel little lumps where the red spot is..

I've taken alot of everyones advice and thank you... You have given me the motivation to go out and do it.. And first thing this morning when I woke up (8am) I put on my jogging bottoms, a top and my trainners and went for for a power walk and on my way back home I jogged back (I was knackered!!) Was only out the house for 10 mins if that! lol... I hope to get better and be able to last alot longer.. Think I was knackered because on my walk down its downhill, but once I was running back its all uphill, I ll get better Laughing 

Thank you for the advice, gunna try going for a walk/run every morning now and stuff what others think. Thank you Laughing

Weight Loss Uncommon Reasons to Lose Weight Jun 05 2008
13:23 (UTC)
120

I want to be able to buy clothes at a store and not have to be embarrassed because theres a thin person at the till serving me

To not have chub-rub when wearing a skirt

I want to be able to just take up one seat in the bus instead of bum & tighs overlapping into the next seat

For guys to look at me and think "oo shes hot!" - I have NEVER had this all my life and it would be a great confidence boost as I dont have much confidence

So my boyfriend can lift me up without having to put me down after 20 seconds because Im too heavy (he doesnt say that but I know thats the reason why he cant carry me for any longer than a few seconds)

I plan to get married in the future and dont want to play the traditional wedding song as I walk down the isle and think others are singing "here comes the bride, all fat and wide"

I'm going on holiday in September and want to look good in photos and be able to wear a bikini

I also HATE the fat that sits under my bra line and the fat rolls i get on my back from wearing a bra - I so want them GONE!!! Or at least not as noticable

I want my shoulder bones back that I used to have!

I'll stop now as I could go on for ages lol .......

So SUMMER for me Laughing

Wen I make pancakes I usually use half plain flour and half raising flour the raising flour makes them plump up and become fluffy... Maybe see if that makes a difference

Calm down, its just one day.. It wont make a HUGE difference.. Just make sure you get back on track by drinking plenty of water and making sure you have healthy snacks around so you can eat them instead of sugary/fatty foods...

I have them days where I eat anything I fancy (to a degree) and dont count my calories. I had one at the weekend and it has actually helped with my weight loss, I was stuck on 175/174.8lbs and am now down to 174/173.8lbs..

So dont worry too much Smile

Also is 1600 calories what I need if I did nothing all day or is that with my exercise added in? What sort of defict will I have?

Sorry would check the website but im at work and its blocked so I cant access it.

So as I lose weight I need to reduce my calories, I heard you reduce your calories ever 10lbs? Also how much do u reduce them by every 10lbs you  lose?

I just use CC for the forum really as I find adding in all my daily food in here takes far too long, instead I've got a diary I keep and write everything down in that. Im a bit worried about upping my calories incase my weight increases. When I was reading posts earlier today about decreasing your calories as you lose weight I got a bit worried that I'm only on 1300 as I can only decrease that by 100 calories minimum... Do i increase my calories straight away like from today up to 1600? or increase it by 100 a day until I reach 1600? Thank you for your advice :)
