today was another great day.. it was the last of my holidays.. so i decided to catch back on some sleep.. cardio in the morning.. fruits, veggies, steamed rice and chicken chronologically as the day progressed.. since i dint have much activity today i decided to hit the park in the evening where i did a one hour walking/jogging session..

feeling great.. 1 week completed..

i shud stop being lazy and actually start a journal in the diary section

(two more days till weigh in )

day eight completed :0.. it was a hard one, friends once again made fun of my weight.. and later we had to work for our research paper for the rest of the day.. and every one ate out and stuff.. so it was really difficult..but i managed to hold on

i am about to start my own weight loss journal..

ninth day completed..

ate well.. worked out.. came home late so had to do the evening session in the middle of the night.. really scared to take my weight though.. i haven't checked my weight ever since joining wlf.. so really looking forward to it in a way..
but may be i'll give it a couple of more days before weigh in

thankfully coupla ppl have been telling me that i prolly have lost a little.. so that's always inspiring..its just that i'm always scared that i'll end up losing motivation like so many other times

anywhoo..howz ur weight loss coming along?

That fear will always be there. But let me tell you when you see results it makes you want to see more.

I sometimes would wait a couple of weeks before weighings. You will one day say I feel a change and when you weigh yourself you may have lost 5lbs. I never really looked at the scale as my reward. I looked at how my clothes have changed. You may be building muscle and the will weigh more than fat. So do be discouraged. Good Luck Tina

Your friends aren't very nice. I know guys will be guys and bash on each other, but sheesh! Catch 22 there is you can't really say anything because then they'll ridicule you because your feelings got hurt.

Glad to see you're sticking with it! Don't let the bastards get you down!

the last bit brought the biggest grin on my face in quite a while.. thank u

Heyyyyyyyy THERE!!! Way to go....i like that "BASTARD" comment too!!!


You are doing an AMAZING JOB!!!!!

Glad it could bring a smile to your face. The jacked up Americanized Latin version of this phrase is "Illegitimus Non Carborundum!" which supposedly means "don't let the bastards grind you down!" I have also heard that it is a bad and grammatically incorrect latin translation... but the sentiment is still the same.

I can't help it, but it REALLY pisses me off on your behalf that your friends subject you to ridicule like that. Makes me want to kick 'em all in the head. While wearing my steel toe boots.

So if it helps, next time they ridicule you for your weight, picture them getting kicked in the head by an ornery redhead in steel toe boots. I just can't wait until you trim down and get the last laugh on them all.

i felt a little sluggish when i woke up this morning.. then i imagined my 'friends' being whacked on the head with a boot (with still toe) and a fit me laughing in the back ground .. it got me right back to my feet and working out with all my heart, in no time.. so once again, thank u guys

i measured my weight...

i was kinda scared abt the measurement.. in fact i thut may be i shud tek the weight next week and before that cut my hair, shave by beard off and may be donate a coupla bags at the blood bank

then i finally got the guts and took the weight.. and guess what I LOST 2.5kgs..

i mean i know since its the beginning weight-loss most of it is the water weight.. but it still feels great

u guys are the best


p.s. day 11 went fine

YAY!!!

See, off to a good start on the weight loss. I had to translate that to lbs (because we still use antiquated measurements here in the U.S.)... 5.5 pounds!!! That's awesome.

A healthy amount to lose per week is generally .9 kg, or 2 lbs. Sometimes it will be more, others it will be less. But hey as long as the scale continues to go down... its all good, right?

Keep at it!!! You're doing great!

thank you

it feels great..

of course from next week i'll be expecting to lose a lot less weight.. but as u said, as long as the scale moves

See I told you! GREAT!!!! It feels so good when you get on that scale and see results like that. And it fires you up to keep on going. Congrats Have a great weekend Tina

thanks : )

i am also taking your suggestion.. from this week i am keeping my body measurements as well.. so even if the scale tricks me.. the inches would show the results : )

completed my seventeenth day today.. feeling great as far as having a healthy life style is concerned

day went properly as before.. but in the evening had a huge fight with my girl friend... its silly, but i am comfort eater.. i tend to binge wen i'm sad or stressed out.. or both

so, i got really hungry and wanted to eat like hell.. worried that i'd give up, i quickly filled myself up with all the safe food i cud find (veggies, some sugar free biscuits, a little dried rice).. and drank LOADZ of water to keep myself full and stop the craving.. finally i did half an hour extra cycling in the night to cheer myself up..

feeling miserable.. but really glad that i dint give up to the cravings...was s'posed to take my weight today,but decided to give it a few more days...

so, howz ur weight loss coming along??

Hey there Tawsif, you need to pat yourself on the back for being a true fighter for yourself. I know what it is like to want to emotionally eat, as do many many other people. You are making some great choices and are aware of your triggers...that is half the battle. Im proud of you!
