I would LOVE to have some workout buddies! I've registered for 2 marathons coming up: a 5k and a 10k, and I'd especially love to have some training partners in the Richmond, VA area! I'd also love some texting/e-mailing/IMing buddies. I'm up for anything!

Hi! My name is Jen and I'm a new member.

Here is my introduction:


Gender: Female
Age: 24
Height: 5'2
Current Weight: 134.4 lbs 
Goal Weight: 118 by mid July, between 105 and 110 long term
Picture(s): I will post some later :)
An Interesting Fact About You: A few years ago I was diagnosed with COED. At the time I ws 152 lbs. (A BMI of 27.8) I started a restriction diet, and with the support of a couple of lj communities, I lost 41 lbs within a few months before I was put into recovery. I'm getting married on September 2nd and do not want to look the way I do now in my wedding dress. If I could get back to around 118 lbs by my dress fitting, I would be ok. If I could be less, I would be GREAT.


I've been away from lj for a few years now, so forgive me for any stupid questions I may ask!

As of 2:45 PM, all I've had today was water and crystal light. Hope you're all doing well!

I was going through some of my old posts about my weight in my journal and found one of 2008 where my highest weight then had been 62kgs (136pounds). My goal weight then was to be 55kgs (121pounds) and i remember struggling and failing to reach that goal. 2 years later am now 54.4kgs (119.9pounds), am so proud of myself. My dream goal for 2008 was to finally reach 45kgs(99pounds), i still have a long way to go to reach it but am sure eventually i will get there.

The 2008 me just like my weight then is no more!!!! I have had to learn through the years that loosing weight is a slow and difficult process both physically and mentally. Getting on a treadmill, dieting, fasting and purging made that needle on the scale give me numbers i wanted. But it did not help lessen the weight of negativity, self-loathing and depression i carried in my mind. It seemed every time i took one step forward, i mentally managed to drag myself twenty-steps, thus sabotaging all my efforts. Giving up eating healthy or excercising  just because i felt i could not hack it. Am slowly learning to be kind to myself and not being so hard on myself. I have been setting myself small goals and most importantly rewarding myself when i achieve them. The other day i bought myself a new watch after i went a whole month without eating bread which is my biggest sin LOL!!!

I can't wait to see how far i will be in my journey two years from now!! So to all members, don't loose faith!!! eventually you will get there in your journeys too!!! Have a good weekend everyone!!!!

Starting weight: 142
Current weight: 135
Short term goal: 129

So here I am on day 3 of the Master Cleanse. I still feel fine, and I'm losing weight pretty rapidly. However, I did start it quite bloated, so water weight accounts for most of it. I'm hoping to be in the low 130s tomorrow morning, and depending on what the scale says, I'll end the fast.

The Master Cleanse is supposed to be a 10 - 40 day thing, but it's always difficult to fit a fast into one's regular life, and I'm honestly just getting bored of it. I'm not really doing it for the cleanse, but rather for the weight loss, although I am trying to break my caffeine addiction, as well as this nasty snacking habit I've acquired.

If I decide to break the fast tomorrow I'll have fruit for breakfast, then soup or a salad for dinner.

I spent last night with the boy and he commented on how I looked like I'd lost weight. Yay :)

Well, time to go do that salt water flush. I've been weighing myself before the flush, so it's possible I'll weigh less after.

Good luck today!

An Interesting Fact About You: Uhm I'm like the only pierced & tattooed person I know who tries to lose weight. Also I've done this like 5 times already. I've learned from my mistakes in the past & I'm ready to FINALLY kick the weight & keep it off. I'm going to update this every first Sunday of the month instead of a certain day a month. Also I'm doing a lifestyle change.. Not a diet or eating disorder. :]

One week later on a 1200calorie diet with one day cheating with 2 pieces of chocolate cake and my fat ass has only dropped one and a half kg. Started of at 56.9 kg (125 pounds), current weight as of today is 55.4 (122 pounds) and height of 150cm. Am soo angry at myself, i was expecting at least a two kilo loss if not three but all i have to show is one and a half kilo. How pathetic is that!! so yes, i did zero excercise as my friend would like to point out and trying to cheer me up. But i hate working out!!!! the thought of it makes me want to break out in hives or something *sigh*. I know i should not have a whinge since am not willing to work for results but bloody hell i have reduced my calorie intake. You would think the diet Gods would pity me and shed off at least three kilos for my good behavior, but instead i get one measly kilo and half *grumble* *grumble* How the hell am i supposed to get down to my goal weight of 45kg (99 pounds) with these types of results!!!

*sulks*

Well I've done this like twice before, and it has been the best way so far of motivating myself, so I am back for another round! Here are my stats:

Age: 23
Height: 5'5"

Goal weight: 105
Interesting fact: I don't start my job until January, so until then I am in Spain taking intensive Spanish classes just for the hell of it :)

Here's my plan:

Calories: no refined carbs, no snacking, 2 fruits/day max: 1 point
Under 1200 calories: 1 point

Exercise: I'm following this Runners World beginners program (running three times a week and walking the other days), so as long as I stick to that I'll get 2 points. And if I don't do an ab workout its only 1 point.
