Meri goes on a diet!

Meri · 2011-03-16T13:00:06+00:00

Ok I wasn't really sure where to put it so I just dumped it here I've wanted to go on a diet for a while but it just never happened And now well, it happened...

Meri

Thanks!
Yeah but I'm a girl and that's a downside
During the "monthly maintenance" your body holds more fluids >.>
And this week just happens to be monthly maintenance =/

:onion255::onion255::onion255::onion255:

Meri

I forgot to mention
I have this little weights
Well I can go up to 20KG but that's not a good way to start lol
So I might go find some exercises to do with those!

My best friend is really great and gave me some nice recipes
Downside is she also knows every damn things about food
You shouldn't eat that, you shouldn't eat that, try to avoid that, ...
The plan wasn't really to do extreme dieting but whatever...
I'm still happy she cares
:)

Well I guess I'll just ignore half of what she told me not to eat XD
I'm going for a regular normal eating pattern I could just as easily maintain
when my diet is over

Basicly eat less and more healthy and exercise more
It should be enough to loose 20KG
Downside is if I keep loosing 0.2KG a week it will take 100 weeks (2 years)

The problem now is getting into exercising...
I'll try my best to do so!

Meri

I know
But she's like don't eat bread
I can't really picture myself never again eating bread ...
I'm just not eating bread that often anymore, and like I said I need to start exercising
Getting the weight box of the attic is going to be a challenge
It has a total weight of 20KG in it so it's quite heavy lol

Meri

I got a present!
It's the Wii with just dance 2
I'm sweating like crazy after just 10 minutes
It's great!

Meri

Sold out?
It was in special price lol ^^
But yeah I guess I'm lucky with that

Sad news: I'm not allowed to go study what I want with my allowance...
So now I'm actually pretty down, pff
But oh well my diet isn't actually suffering
I think I probably won't eat now rather than eating a lot...

Meri

Good luck Hikana!

Oh god I feel like kicking and screaming and aargh
Today just isn't my day! Nor was yesterday...
I'm quite frustrated
Been cleaning for a few hours, now I still have to go grocery shopping
Hurt my elbow while cleaning
Great

:furious2::onion255::sic::damn::dark::defeat::imd::onion200::189bbdde:

Don't even bother asking about the diet
It's not going well at all...
Stupid mood swings >.>
I'll just restart today and see what the scale has to say tomorrow...

Meri

Ok here's my progress so far
Week one: 83.5 --> 83.3
Week two: 83.3 --> 82.1

So now I'm actually feeling a bit better
Doing 2 intense dance sessions on my wii every day as well

Meri

Thanks!

I'll be sure to keep it up, and to keep my food varied as well
The dancing is great but pff it's very tiresome too hehe
Today my best friend came over, so we danced together
We had a lot of fun!

Meri

Euhm what am I dancing to you ask lol :P
Just Dance 2 Review - Wii Review at IGN

Thanks for your support all =)
I'm really happy about that

I decided it was time to step on the damn scale again
It refused to work at first so I kinda panicked
But then it decided to work just for me anyway
Thank god
83.5 --> 83.3 (0.2kg)
83.3 --> 82.1 (1.2kg)
82.1 --> 80.4 (1.7kg)

Yay I lost 1.7KG this time
It's not the sort of thing that makes me super happy
But at least I'm on a steady line
Preferable I'd just loose all 20 in one week hehe
But I surely can't complain can I?

Btw I went out with my best friend and bought some clothes last week
It's very motivating (Huh why would you buy clothes if your on a diet?)
Boys don't bother to understand, it's women's logics
(Explosion actually said those kind of logics are scary)

Meri

I really hope so shadow

hikana don't give up!
keep trying!

explosion: oh shut up :P

Yeah well it's actually starting to show a little bit
So I guess I'm doing fine
I'm getting impatient though
And I've been a bit down lately so I tend to eat more in the evenings
Oh well I'll keep up the good work and just hope for the best I guess

Meri

80.4 --> 81.7
all thanks to my loving husband
not

I'm going to quit my diet
It's no use when I don't get the support I need

Edit:

I just lost myself there for a bit
Ultimately I'm the only one at fault here
I shouldn't be so weak willed

This week has been everything but easy
Monday-Wednesday were great, but starting Thursday it all went out of hand
Nightmares, bad mood swings, thinking about food food food all day
Sigh

I'll just have to try again starting tomorrow...

Meri

81.7 --> 81.1
Ah the scale is merciful...

Can't give up now, I'm not nearly there yet

I had a great day yesterday
My best friend came over and we did tons of stuff
And we talked a lot and had a blast
I'm really happy =)

So now I'm all fired up again!
go go go super diet!

Meri

Ok I thought it was a nice time for an update
I started this thread on 16-3 and today is 14-4
So I've been at it about a month now

The first month has been...
Hard but also refreshing
I think I've learned a thing or two about myself

Now let's see...

Things I did all right:

eating

Things that still need improvement:

drinking more water
(I don't drink any soda, just water, but only like half a litre a day)
moving a lot more
(I actually bought a rope so I can do some rope skipping)

Don't quit! Quitting's for quitters! :p

Meri

Thanks guys
I really appreciate the support =)

@ wolfie: well I'm trying lol

@ hyper: lol I noticed. it's really hard. I didn't last one minute XD
It's been way too long

@ Foxy: I won't lol. I'll keep trying

Meri

81.1 -- 80.6

Well progress is progress I guess =)
Can't wait until I see that 8 disappear!

Meri

I'm hoping to see that 8 disappear by next week!
But I'll just try my best for now =)

Meri

80.6 -- 79.2 (last friday)

wOot!
I'm happy =)
Finally that damn 8 is gone
Now to get rid of the 7
Go go go me!

Meri

I've gained some weight over the weekend
But it's nothing major lol
79.2--79.9
I tend to gain weight during weekends XD

I'm on my salad again and planning a busy day so I'll move around a lot

Next goal: 75kg
Target lock on!

Meri

79.9 -- 78.8
wOot! :happy:

I am a woman, on a mission, wo-ho!

Is eating some salad while posting this -

I also made a new schedule for taking care of the household
So I'd say things are really going well

Meri

Thanks guys :)

Meri is eating salad again
Why am I always eating salad when posting here? :P

Well I didn't quite do that RJ :o
But I guess I should have
At least people already notice a difference, and so do I
So I'm quite happy about that!

The end of the road, well I've been thinking about that
My original goal was set at 65 kilo's, but I might stop at 70
The way I see things now that should be more than enough

Hahaha I seem to inspire a lot of people with my thread :P
I suppose it's a widely known problem

If the calculator I found online is right 70KG equals 154lbs
(more accurately 1KG equals 2.20462262185lbs)
