Diet Buddy Wanted!!

[izzy]

Hey,

I'm looking for a diet buddy!

I had mia/ana for a couple of years and a few months back I was heading into some pretty important exams so I decided that I needed to stop and take care of my body so I could perform my best. I did but, of course, the weight pilled on.

Now I'm determined to lose weight without fasting or purging. I'm probably not going to do it in a perfectly healthy way but at least I'll be growing up a little.

I am 5'3", my current weight is ***lbs. I hope to drop to between ***lbs and ***lbs for my holiday with my boyfriend in 16 days - no easy task!

I plan to do this by eating fruit, veg, diet coke and water only and by exercising as much as possible.

I've never done this before so I don't know how much I will lose per day. I'm hoping it'll be roughly *every two days.

I am looking for someone who'd like to take this challenge with me. I'll offer support, friendship and advice in return,

Izzy

P.S. Criticism is not welcome

Hi I need to loose weight. I have read about the ***diet also known as ***. I am going to start it tomorrow. You are supposed to loose about * in 11 days, worth a try x :-)

[izzy]

Great! I'll start tomorrow too so. Let me know how your first day goes, good luck!

[Sequin]

Hiya, I am doing really well so far.. I am aiming for **** cals today and had **** so far so doing well. I am not feeling hungry at all. I have drank loads of water. I am *** atm so gonna weigh myself next monday. Let me know how you go too :-)

[izzy]

Well done!

Okay well I'm doing okay... I had to go under general anaesthetic this morning ( no big deal just for a test) so I was forced to eat a slice of toast afterwards - angry nurses, haha!

So far I've had:

One slice of toast
Two cups of tea
One can of diet coke

I'm still a bit weak after this morning so I don't think I'll be doing any exercise today. I'll probably not eat anything else today to compensate for that...

It's 3.50 now. I'm usually fine up to 5.30ish but then the hunger kicks in, do you find that too? My room's really untidy so I'm going to lock myself up there cleaning. That should distract me!

What's your goal weight?

I am not sure what my goal weight is going to be, I am gonna see how I go I would rather be too thin and need to put a little weight on than fat and need to loose weight. I am thin but its fat around my middle, my hips thighs stomach bum etc.. I hate being able to pinch fat, its horrible. Everyone says you look great but I dont feel it. I kinda eat steady through the day but do get rather hungry towards the evening so I try to drink more water then.

[izzy]

Yeah, water is great. I wouldn't be able to diet without it.

I don't know how you can wait until Monday to weigh yourself. I'm totally addicted. I know it's stupid because weight fluctuates so much within a day... I was ***lbs this morning - SUCCESS! I know I only dropped that much because my stomach was empty and it's mostly water weight but it was a good psychological boost.

I'm sooo lazy when it comes to exercise these days. I'm going to go do some resistance training now to maintain muscle and keep that metabolism a little bit higher. I think I'm going to start eating lean protein soon to maintain muscle mass.

I'm sure you do look great by the way. Flab is so annoying. It's difficult to hide it during bikini season unfortunately... You'd be surprised how much the right can hide though!

[izzy]

Sorry, I meant to say "right outfit"

[Sequin]

I have 3 kids so for exercise we have a trampoline, lolo ball, skipping rope, hula hoop etc.. also go for walks reg, I live near a mountain so try to walk up to the top when the weather is good. Also not far from a park and the beach so play badminton and take a ball and frisbee with us too. I do feel like I have lost weight but its the time of the month this week so dont want to weigh just yet, will wait till monday to get a better reading ..

I also drink green tea which is good for the metabolism and ice cold water is too. Also there are loads of foods to that burn more calories digesting them than they actually are which is great too.
