Ht. 5'6", Start: 254 lb, Today: 252 lb, Goal: 120 lb - :D I lost 2 pounds!! That is huge for me ! I never have ANY success on diets ! I have followed my eat less do more idea. I find that I hardly ever eat if I only eat when I am really hungry. Like today all I have had is a bagel, some hamburger helper, a popscicle and now I am splitting a bowl of popcorn with my sister. Yesterday I had chef boyardi lasagna, a glass of juice, 6 hershey kisses (kinda bad I know but it was the only bad thing) and then for supper we had grilled cheese sandwiches and fries which I only had a small portion of. I am also drinking less sugary things. I am only drinking diet pop and I had 2 classes of juice today. I think ignoring my cravings has made them fade into the background a bit which is really helping me stay on the bandwagon. lol For excersises I have been doing sit ups (I have a cold so I didn't really feel like walking or anything. I just layed on my yoga mat and did some sit ups) But on the downside, my sides are starting to ache from them. Does anyone have any good ideas for excersises I can do inside that might put a little less strain on my back? Also, since I have had my cold I was home from school the past 2 days because I needed to get some extra sleep (i was exhausted even though I went to sleep at FIVE... that is a sign that I definitely need a break lol) I really tested my will power because I usually over eat when I am bored/home alone/around a lot of food and i didn't over eat so I am so proud of myself :) I am so happy that I am seeing results, even if it was only 2 pounds. I think that is what I needed because now I am even more motivated to keep going with my diet :) I hope everyone else is doing good on their journeys ! :)
