Nicks Chubby -- I am fatt but soon, were gonna be slim & trim

Kristina's Story

I come from a very southern family! Growing up, my grandma lived next door and I was there 50% of my time, and she ALWAYS had goodies. Thats probably where it all started, not that I'm blamming grandma. We like our food with lots of butter and as fat as possible. I have been yo-yo dieting since highschool probably. The last I remember weighing in school was 140, And I thought I was fat then! The biggest bust for me was one day when I went to the doctor and the scale read 199. 1 More pound and I would be at 200... So I went low car & got a gym membership! I lost 20 pounds and stopped dieting. Never gained any of it back. But I am still here at 175, and not happy. I will be happy with 140, my highschool weight, but am shooting for 120. I want to fit in a size 10 or smaller! The primary reason I am doing this, is obviously for looks and self confidence. I am not going to fancy it up and say I wanna be healthy. I wanna look good. After a long sting of bad relationships, I have decided to take some time of and better myself FOR myself, before I try to take care of someone else too. I have dreams about a skinny me!! And I can't wait!

Kristina's Plan

This time around I am not going to follow any of the popular diets, to much reading and counting. My Diet will consist of 1000 calories a day. Breakfast of some granalor or ceral, small portion, 100 Calories. Yogurt or dairy snack. Lunch of a salad with some yummy fat free dressing. Kraft just came out with a bunch of new ones. Mid-Day snack of some veggies or a 100 calorie pack, sugar free jello, something like that. Dinner, Something a litter heartier, with some meat, protein is a must. And a night snack! It amazing how many diet foods there are at the grocercy store, around 100 calories, that taste fine. I plan to incorporate a huge amount of excersize into it. 5 Days a week, not including sunday cleaning. An hour at least at the gym, mostly cardio but weights too. Plus more at home with my home gym. I start Real Estate school in 3 Months. The plan is to have lost my target 50 pounds, by then.

25 Down - 15 to Go

March 10

WOO FREAKIN HOO!

5 Pounds this week.... I guess the no carb thing works again. AND - I had the flu for 2 days, and the worse of the two I ate a whle thing of break and bake cookies, so I am pretty thrilled.
 
By Next weigh in I should be in the 150's WOOO HOOO
March 04

I'm Still Here I promise!!!

I lost track for a while through a series of sicknesses injuries and plenty of other excuses I can come up with.... Basically, lack of faith once I platued.
But, I am still in it. I finally switch to the atkins diet after I talked about it for 3 weeks. I have done this one before and it worked.
 
I have only been doing it for 2 days, and althoug I feel pretty much like crap as far as I think my blood sugar is way low cuz Im getting dizzy and of course I have a cold.
But lots of airborn and cold medicine and I should kick it soon. I am still workin out like crazy...I made myself some workout cds and made myself a routine and I am not alloud to stop till the 50 min cd is over.
 
The biggest thing I hate about the no carb thing is theres not a lot of snacking options, like to take to work, on the low fat I had my 100 calorie packs and such, but i think its good to shake things up and trick the metabolism every now and then so the plan is to do the no carb thing for this week and next week, the go back to low fat. Unless of course I lose 27 pounds in 2 weeks :) Then Im done!!
 
A few accomplisments.
I have stopped drinking pop at all, including diet since aparantly apartame isnt so good for you. So I'm drinking tea mixed with crystal light which makes for a pretty good beverage. And, Tea is good for you. And according to oprah, makes you lose weight. Althought I don't buy that so much.
 
I have cut down on the smoking and am on the road to quitting. The goal is to be down to 5 ciggerettes a day...then 4... then 3... then 2... then NONE
OF COURSE... Quitting smoking will cause me to gain 10 pounds probably.. More if I replace the smokes with food BUT im not going to do that. And I figure 10 pounds vs 15 years added to my life... Ill take the ten pounds. I'll just be very crabby doing it!
 
So thats my story, Sorry I was gone for so long...But I am still in this!!!
February 12

Grrr - Up a pound

Well - I had an absolutley horrible week, on top of the fact that I am really losing will.. I will get it back.
I was sick most of the week and very fatigued....So I didnt work out and didnt really stick to my diet. So far this week I am back to the diet, but HATE it, and am working out but not as much as usual.
 
Next week I think I am going to switch to south beach diet to give myself a change of pace to try to make it through this last month
February 03

End of Month 1

Today way weigh in -- 167!!! Not only did I break into the 160's, I pulled an extra two pounds off from last night, I though I would only be 169 if not a gain because I drank a lot last night PLUS My bmi is not in the 20's. VERY proud of myself this week.
I know I haven't been blogging a lot I've just been real busy but this is quite the happy blog!
