Whoo calm down mserica!

heh. I'm responding with the guess that you're naturally skinny and have a great metabolism and are only working out because you can/want to. In that case, people tell me "if you want something bad enough, you'll make it happen". Maybe you don't want it enough? (or maybe me suggesting you don't want it enough will motivate you to yell "NO! I WANT IT!" lol)

I do want it.. well I do but i work full time, study and somehow manage to keep everything else running smoothly, i just wish i was as organised at home as i am with my work...

anyone want to assist with a schedule that can make things a lil easier!!!

Edit: Funny thing is that daily it is my job to assist staff with work/life balance, yet i find it hard to do on myself, its so much easier to organise other people!

Yeah your right glitterfairy, msercia is thin, she doesn't need to lose any.. i've seen her pics :p

I've lost 2kgs since this thread started (oooh need to change my signature) but thats because I'm bigger than you are... and its easier for bigger people to lose weight than smaller people.. which can also be likened to why I'm finding it harder to lose weight than my first 10.

If you really really want to lose those few kilos u think you need to lose... do the calorie counting thing, mathamatically it works for all people regardless of their size.

Also... make note of the direction of burning energy... first its carbs, then its fats.

Uusually after 20 minutes of mod intensity cardio, you start burning fat... so ensure your sessions go for longer than 20 minutes for losing weight.

But in the end you did say that you've been doign a lot more excercise than before, maybe its just muscle gain???

The best way is not to look at the scale but look at measurements and how your clothes fit.

I've started measuring again.. coz i found this book that had all my measurements from last year and i've lost cm's! :D

lol. i didnt realise how big this thread was. i never entered because the topic name has 'healthy' in it - but seeing that its 27 pages long, i must have missed quite a bit...

I havent excerised for years (which is most likely evident if you saw me :)) mainly because i have no time, and when i do have time i usually spend it eating fattening food, which is a lot more fun than excerising :)

i guess i should stop eating mcdonalds each uni day, and eat healthy.. hmmm

ok ok. here goes.

1) How many kilos (approx) to get down to ideal weight?

well. i dont weigh much, but i am pretty short. I probably want to lose about 5 kilos but in the beer gut area :/

2) Reasons for being at current state

Too much uni stuff, little time to exercise. i do walk around a lot at uni, but i offset that by eating lots of mcdonalds :)

3) Why I want to loose weight

so theres less chance of later health problems.

4) How I plan to loose weight

Eat less crap. eat more healthy stuff. Walk around more (i like walking, so i guess if i have more time i would do it more)

5) Subjects being studied at MQ

Psychology: all 3rd year psych units this year

6) Academic goals

keep to about a distinction average in psych units and get into honours.

7) How I plan to get my marks up

Keep obsessing over every single assessment and having no life whatsoever :)


there, i said my bit. :)

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs on toast

Lunch: Lean Cuisine Tasmanian Salmon and Pasta meal

Dinner: Chicken and potatoe mash

"Dessert": bottle of Lemon and Lime soda (I'm having to sip from it over the course of an hour to avoid going on major high, this is so sad lol)


Study: Finished off my essay this morning. Braindead and EXTREMELY tired

Exercise: Taught dance for two and a half hours today. Gave my second class a lecture because they are acting like 2-year olds and are MILES behind all my other classes, even though they are the oldest/most advanced. I wish I'd had these girls from the start, because half of them don't even know the word "discipline" exists, let alone the meaning of it. *smacks fist into palm*

My internet is stuffing up but..for some reason its working now though... so my apologies for not replying to your summary days, i still read them.. when im at uni and have access. Glitter your getting really good excercise as compared to me these days! I haven't gym'd it in ages..:S. but the good thing i think is that im not "eating the whole world"-scarecrow of oz lol

Today 26.05.06

Breakfast err grabbed a few tendrils of charcoal chicken on the go.
Lunch- was absolutely starving by 1:30pm :( but i didn't want to leave the library until i finished my speech for 207 so i did end up sort of binging for lunch.
Lunch 1: 1/2 a wholemeal sandwich with lemon chicken and cucumber
Lunch 2: the other half of the sandwich and a chicken terriyaki sushi roll.
Dinner: Err... had heaps :s ... i was extremely happy to hang out with family since i havn't been able to in ages so i just ate whatever, i did limit my rice intake to a spoonful.

Snacks: Pear, orange, apple, regular skim cap

hahaha yes i know these
