1 piece of toast (50cals)
1/4 teaspoon smart balance 50/50 Omega-3 spread (30cals)

Hiya everyone! I'm new here! I'm planning to begin a calorie counting diet and have been searching for other people on live journal with this similar interest. I totally need to lose weight. I'm on the brink of being overweight. My weight distribution is also terrible because everything collects at my midsection. Right now, I'm planning on 1106 calories/day for a few weeks, then a 1000 calories/day for a few weeks, and then reducing it all to 920 calories/day. I'm not in a hurry so I'm making my plan slow but steady. I'm open to any tips you guys might have!

Height: 4'10"
Current Weight: 115 lbs
Goal Weight: 90 lbs

Hello everybody. I am new to this website and hope that I can get some support and encouragement. Does anyone know of any low cal foods? I'm not exactly sure how to lose weight fast. I need to do it fast. If anyone can give me some ideas that would be great. I have a gym that I have started going to. Trying to work-out as much as I can.

hi beautiful ladies.
iv been doing really well. iv been losing one pound a day. what i do is eat nothing during the day. then i go to the gym around 5ish 6ish maybe later. and then get home and eat a lean cuisine dinner. very low cal ones.
so before i go to bed i will have a total of maybe 300-400 cal for the day.

i wake up and do it all over again. and i actually start dropping a pound every day. but i wanted faster results.

I just joined so I figured I should introduce myself.

My name is Laura, I've been trying to get down to a smaller size, i really don't like the way my body looks. I know cutting calories isn't persay the healthiest way to diet, but what I do eat is pretty healthy and I'm trying to keep things healthy. I'm not out to starve myself or get down to an unrealistic (and unhealthy) weight, I just want to tone my body and feel better. I've been limiting my calorie intake between 1250-1500 and trying to do more biking at the gym and pilates at home. Here are my stats:

Age: 20
Height: 5' 3"
CW: 138 (last time i checked)
HW: 145
LW: 130
GW: 120

Breakfast:
1 cup Puffed Wheat Cereal 50 calories
1/2 cup skim milk 45 calories
dash of sugar 23 calories

Lunch:
Chicken Noodle Soup at Hand 71 calories
Bodywise bread 2 slices 100 calories
4 slices small peperoni 71 calories
2 tspn mustard 7 calories

Snack:
Root Beer 263 calories
Snack Bar 100 calories

For a total of 729 calories, which I think it pretty good. I'll probably just have a piece of chicken and some veggies so I can keep myself at around 1100 calories for the day. I got these really yummy 100 calorie ice cream containers, which make a good dessert.

Not sure if I ever posted...

2008-04-02T23:13:45Z

Been here a while now and I'm more of a lurker than anything else.

So I attempted that Master Cleanse thing. Didn't really work out, I kept cheating. And lemons are SO expensive! $3.99/lb! But I'm going to probably be going on that again to try it out since I don't have all this pressure to lose weight for any fights right now.

Last Saturday I was at my lowest weight, 165. Not that anymore :( I lost 15lbs in about a week and a half for a competition and I've been binging ever since. I'm back up to 173.

I tried to get myself to go on this strict tuna (from a can and the one in water, 50 calorie), celery and brown rice diet (with some of those 100-110 calories yogurt) but I keep screwing up.

Today? Had a 90 calorie Special K bar and a yogurt 180 calories. Small sip of OJ.

I get to work (did I ever mention I work in a bakery/deli? Yeah. It sucks) and I eat a bagel [plain] and I'm drinking Spring Water that I bought in a gallon size yesterday.

Then I had 3 slices of Pizza Pan pepperoni pizza after my yogurt and celery/tuna. And a box of milk duds.

Came home, munched on three more Special K bars and about 4-5 rice cakes.

WTF IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!?!

And I'm not even really hungry, just bored or mad at myself.

Any suggestions on how to keep yourself on the right track? Or things that help suppress your hunger? I felt so trimmed at 165 and my goal is 145-155 before summer kicks into full swing.

I hate looking at myself in the mirror. I feel like I'm letting my lover down. I hate the fact that we can't eat together anymore because I feel so ashamed of myself even if I'm eating a piece of celery or a salad.

I even used an enema on myself last night to take out my bloated ness and thinking I could lose some of the calories. And I've bought a box of dieter's tea.

Stats:
Age: 20
HT: 5'8-5'9"
CW: 173 (probably more now)
Goal weight: 145-155, eventually 120.

Here's some pics of the fat cow that is called me. I hate how I look. Ewll.

And they say I'd look sick at 120. My lover/friend says I'd look sexy in the 150s range, but you can't be too skinny right?

Me at 165.2 on 3-29-08

These are the only ones I have of me standing up, really can't tell but you should see the fatness (I'm the one with the shirt on)

Hello!

2008-04-02T04:38:03Z

I'm new but have been calorie counting for a lifetime. So far for today

Slim fast 190
water 0
1 string cheese 80
1 mini granola bar 90
1 rice cake 45
salad (lettuce and beats) 75
mashed potatoes 237
grapes (about 1 cup) 62
=779

which is good because I am under 1000!

i'm new here so i just wanted to introduce myself to everyone...

age: 15
height: 5'6"
cw: 122
gw: 100

i've been starving myself since i was 12, before i knew what an ed really was, & i've been using xanga for about 2 years now. i had no idea there was such a huge community on livejournal!

i've been having a really hard time lately with all the questions, you know?
"what did you have for dinner last night?"
"can i buy you a brownie or something?"
"have you been losing weight?"

ughh... i don't really know what to do anymore.
i want to fast. i want to run. i want to purge.
but i can't because i'm afraid to lose weight too quickly. when i try to slow down i end up bingeing every time. there's no in between for me.

anyway... just wanted to say hi!

Hey all, I just joined the community. I've been on and off with weight for the last three years or so, but just this year I'm really getting serious about it. Right now:

Height: 5'1 (maybe a bit under?)
Current Weight: 106.5 (said my scale a bit ago...)
Highest Weight: 120 (bleeeeeeeegh, i KNOW!)
Goal Weight: 98 lbs

Unfortunately, I'm not doing that great today - already had 723 calories and it's only 4pm. Oi! Just looking for companions in the weight loss adventure.

First weigh-in in kg~

2008-03-18T19:41:00Z

Hi all, this is my first weigh-in on my weight loss crusade. I can only post my weight in kg since that's what my scale reads. I came in at:

Weight: 60.8 kg
Height: 5'5"

My reading is actually great b/c I weighed around 66 kg for a while the past few months and haven't been weighing myself b/c I was too afraid to see my Stats. So yea I was a bit surprised. But yea I was 61 kg a few weeks ago and I notice that back then I looked a lot more toned than I do today, and I know this b/c I can feel the way my thighs touch and also I fit pants differently. I don't think it's just my "perception".. so yea I don't understand how I could weigh less but be fatter? I'm wondering if I lost muscle mass? I'm a little confused about that, but in any case at least I made some progress. I will put in a weigh-in every Tuesday morning to track my progress. I'm not going to be a nazi about weighing myself everyday b/c it's pointless since our bodies are constantly changing weight due to several factors which has nothing to do with your weight loss efforts.

Anywho, so that's that and I hope everyone else is doing fabulous! Finally is getting nice out, even more motivation :)

please help

2008-03-17T23:56:41Z

Im pretty new to everything, though I've felt uncomfortable with how I am for a while.

Today, I yoyo'd: yesterday was less than 100 cal, today, far above 1000.

This has happened before, but I feel so terrified and anxious, and I am far too freaked out by purging.

What can i do to make this feeling go away??
Please comment!!

Calories for Today

2008-02-14T03:47:37Z

Breakfast= 160
lunch= 100 at most
dinner= 400 at most

total= 660

Damn that's actually a lot. But I burned off 425 calories minimum which is a total of....235 calories. Eh not too bad but I like to burn off more. Clearly I'm never satisfied. Tomorrow morning I will exercise all over again and hopefully burn as much as I did today as I don't have time exercise more way too busy with school and work. Oh well but not so bad I guess...I can do better though. =/

Good Luck to everyone else!

Hey, i've just started on a diet and exercise routine to help me lose weight steadily until i'm at somewhere where I am happy. Of Sunday I was at 216 pounds and from then i've been aiming at a daily calorie intake of 1500cals. I've joined a few weight loss communities for mutual support and so people can follow my progress if anyone is interested. There are more details in my blog. My short term target is only 40lbs but overall I'd like to lose about 80. Anyway, thanks for reading.

what goes in must come out...

2007-04-21T15:16:35Z

it started out innocently enough, no complex carbs was the mantra of the day, so opt for vegetables, water, coffee, low fat yoghurt, sugar-free jelly when looking fro a quick fix but then there's apple pie. Some gagged voice mumbles that you like it, infact you more than like it. you look at it glistening - the sugary splinters sparkle and before you know it there you are:fork in hand; pie on plate. Resounding approval shrills in your ears. Only eat the apple you decide, that'll silence it....

Tap is on - Shower is on - searching beyond the mirror; she's there but you're not. So much still left...oh god...handful after handful of greedy swollen flesh that you'd happily cut off - tear it from you barely visible bones but that'd only leave scars and your ugly enough, totally fukced, maybe ugly's better than fat...definitely. Where's a knife? And then you start to remember, the apple, surely the butter and sugar and crust and fat seeped into it somehow. So much for no carbs, stupid useless fucking fat bitch, can't do anything right, nothing at all, ever. That's it.

Hunching over the toilet eyes closed trying not to breathe-in the scent of other's leftovers. gag, vomit, choke. gag, vomit, choke. gag, vomit, choke.

Knees are shaking, eyes streaming to where mascara has clgged and run and spread all at once. Run figers under cold water, splash face with water...numb stinging. Look into the pan, not enough there, hardly anything really, if i dropped the food in whole there'd be more, where is it? why isn't it coming up?

Onto my knees, water spattering onto my face as tears and morsels plop into the depths. Can't breathe, can't throw up any more, weak, ugly, fat, pathetic, will try after shower. Need to be clean, really. really clean.

The tap goes off, the steam in the shower stings my throat, my lungs clutching each atom of air, body unsteady, fingers raw, grinning with my eyes closed gripping hip bones beneath flesh.....so dizzy.....sit down.....head bent, hugging my knees, the steady rythmic beating of the water over me, lulling me to vague, warm dreams of nothingness, want to stay here forever.

Towel quickly wrapped around this body to which i don't belong, can't, won't. No energy, might just sleep perchance to dream. Crossing the hall with haste made unsure steps, head bowed, towel hugged around me... "Are you ok?" voice trying to reach for cheery, crackling along the way says "oh, yeah fine thanks", head kept down, quick faltering steps. Jerk handle down. Slam door behind me.

Mind a mess of statements, questions, panic-ridden, nonsensical gibberish. Turn out the light. Pyjamas on, brush teeth, wash face in the twinkiling glow of the bedside lamp and i can see the shadows of a tired mind, a tired body.
Do exercises without thinking: listen to the music, repeat, deep breath, repeat, deep breath, hope that sleep comes soon.
Window open, laxatives lines up, 20 choked down, spluttering, lungs jerking, shh shhh shhhh.

Tomorrow it'll be better. Tomorrow it'll be fine. Tomorrow.

The sound of paper sliding under the door, push myself to stand and float over, dazed:-
"Are you ok? I would have knocked but the light's off. You really scared me tonight. I'm here, whenever. Your neighbour.x"

Sound of rustling paper against the trash bag. Sleep.
