Well thankyou, i'm glad. Thats all people need sometimes is to know that someone else feels the same way you do, supports you 100%, and is never has anything else to say except for helping words.

I'll post my stuff later, but holy cow. I just did five minutes going up and down stairs of exercise (I'm still too sick to go out), and I just broke the biggest sweat,and I was breathing so hard...D: I don't even do that in 45 minutes of walking.

I'm not very hungry today...I'm a little concerned that I may have over estimated something a little bit and haven't met the 1200 calories quite...but..I can't force myself to eat when I'm not hungry.

I asked mom to buy me a food scale. Hopefully she comes home with one

My mom finally bought my food scale!!!! Now I can get more acurate ideas of what I'm eating! I'm pretty excited about it.

Good for you. The scale will help a lot.

Thats awesome! I'm in college as a culinary major, and i want to make the yummy recipes from my baking class at home.. i need a food scale though. I hope to get one for xmas. Thats awesome that you have one though. I'm jealous. haha.

My mom got it at Wal-mart for $10+tax I think. It was the last one (because it was cheapest probably ) But I got to use it today,and it worked great! I'm very happy with it.

I'm down 4-5lbs since Saturday!!!!
I've been eating more then 1200 calories a day, and trying to make healthy decisions in eating,including portions sizes etc...I hope I'm losing it properly!!

Another day of good counting.

Ummmm...Yah. Christmas is coming, I'm trying to get myself prepared for portioning and stuff ahead of time. I used my scale today,and was able to properly measure out the food I was going to eat.

I lost 4-5lbs since Saturday! so in one week! Ummm..I've been eating fairly healthy (over 1200 calories a day), so I'm hoping that it's okay that I lost that much.

A little bit of out doors today, but no real exercise. Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow to get out and do something.

I was talking to my friend today about weight loss. I was telling her about my progess,and was talking to her about it,and she told me she wants to lose twenty to thirty pounds (She's 5'5, 170), so maybe I'll have a really close weight loss buddy for awhile? We'll see.

OMG! thats amazing!!! i'm proud of you! *tear* lol. that would be cool if you had a weight loss buddy. I tried to get my boyfriend to be my buddy... but he cant be on a diet... well i guess he could, he just wont. lol. oh well. this forum is my support system. keep up the good work. Youre doing EXCELLENT

Thank you for the support!! I really appreciate it. The first few days were hell...I wanted to binge so badly! but now, I just want to keep going,and going forever!

thats the right attitude!! This isnt a diet, its a lifestyle change. One that a lot of people need to do. And its awesome that you realized such. Its the first step to living a healthy life!

Way to go Pinch! I just read through your diary, and you can see a complete turnaround of attitude and committment there! You're doing so well; keep it up!

Thank you both!! =) The people on this forum have really made this a much easier experience for me, and I really am so greatful for the support!
