Weigh in: 138.8 :( after a night of drinking and gorging late night at t-bell.

I was 134.4 just 2 days ago, but finals and and celebrating end of finals last night apparently did me in. One more night of drinking tonight and i'm back to strict diet. Been riding my bike A LOT though.

I just had a wonderful healthy dinner (500cal) of fish and veggies after a good work out.. which I feel really great about. Now all I can think about is more food. I'm up to 1400cal today (goal is 1200-1300/day but 1400 is still good) so I don't want to eat more. I'm trying to limit carbs in my diet because they don't fill me up and just trigger me binging. I just really want peanut butter jelly sandwhich... or two or three PB&J... but will resist. It hurts to so desperately want two contradicting things... weight loss and amazing cheese, carbs, oils, and peanut butter. I can do without sweets but I do love pizza, quesidillas, calzones or garlic cheese balls from this local place, pb&j, rice-a-roni, pasta, and macaroni and cheese. I swear i'll be good tonight but I'm just venting about cravings.

 

How is everyone's day?

Glad to see everyone joining in! Weigh ins I hear are Wed so we'll all do our 1st tomorrow. See you then.


I am so hungry today, but did a long bike ride so I guess that's why. I almost got about a 5'' to 6'' diameter cookie today that looked SOO good... but I was good and resisted. It was probably 700 calories or something insane.

I'm really stoked how much high water/fiber content foods fill you up with very few calories. I ate sooooo much fresh homemade soup with chicken boulleon, mushrooms, carrots, bell peppers, celery, canned tomatoes, and cabbage. When I logged the recipe an entire huge pot full was only 220 so calories! I could only eat 1/2 of the pot (and i'm a huge overeater type) until i was stuffed. So if you're looking for a way to get 1300 a day, veggies are going to be my trick. Today i'm satisfied off of 1079 which baffles me.

I can easily wolf down 1000 calories in one sitting on carbs and cheese... and take a food coma nap afterwards. Good to know I can stuff my face with fruits/veggies and not have it kill my calories for the day. Only problem is that with all the veggies I eat now, I fart a LOT. I need some OTC fart stuff now its so bad.


gettinghealthy: I do the same - ride my bike to campus. I still put sedentary in my profile so I can manually add my physical activity... I feel like I can be more accurate that way. Logging is apain, but it really helps me resist items I know i'll feel horrible about when logging (pizza, sweets, etc).


shartle81: your calorie goal is closer to mine. It is hard to consistently keep that low, especially if you want to drink any alcohol that day... but i'm hoping to stay about 1200-1300 6/7 days of the week.

 

Wed check ins sound great! Glad to do this with all you!

Perfect! I'm about 140lbs (5'6'') and have a goal weight of 125lbs. I gained 20lbs in the last year from binge drinking and drunchies (yay college). I just went to the store to buy a bunch of fresh fruit and veggies that I can munch on to keep calories low and fill me up. I do enjoy my larger boobs, but the stomach and thighs are just getting unattractive. I really don't want to buy new clothes, and I still don't recognize my new body... so I would like to reclaim my former self.


What is everyone's exercise and calorie intake set at? I'm trying to keep below 1300 Cal/day but know I'll get up to 1700 on some days. Exercise 5-6 days a week.

Motivation anyone wanting to go from 140 down to 120? Apr 26 2008

I would love to join in! I'm same at 138-140ish and would like to get down to 125-120ish. I really put on the pounds since transferring to 4yr college 9months ago and find myself overeating or making bad food choices when drunk. I've tried exercising/eating right but never stick to it, and i'm hoping to stick this time.


Good luck all!
