Hi all,
I have been reading through your discussions and this sounds like a great site! I am just starting to eat vegan, but I really also need to lose weight. (about 30 pounds) I have times when I travel alot, and that seems to get in the way of exercise, but that is really just an excuse. My plans this week are:
Eat several small meals a day, up to 1800 calories
Go to the gym and do cardio at least 5 times this week
Free weights at least 3 times this week
Quit smoking next Saturday (hardest goal of all)

[foxytina_69]

welcome tjoiner! post here as often as you want to get support or rant about your day!

today i went for a walk.

today:

snacks:
-few chips
-popcorn
lunch:
-leftover burrito
dinner:
-2 mexican tofu tacos
-'orange julius'

ahhhhhhh need more fruit and veggies badly.

[Roxy]

Tina, I hope your bronchitis is feeling better. And I'm sorry to hear you had a crappy Canada Day. Mine was nothing special either lol - I worked.

Treehugga - I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, though it's good to see you are starting to get back on top of things again

I got on the scale today, and I have lost another 2 pounds. In total that's now 10 pounds!! I went shopping today and it was nice to be able to buy clothes that fit me nicely.

[foxytina_69]

wow roxy thats amazing!

i wish i could lose some damn weight lol. im stuck at where im at right now and keep eating crappy foods. shopping must have been lots of fun!

my bronchitis isnt doing any better. it may be pneumonia now. :S im not sure whats happening!

how is everyone else doing??

[Kiran]

Quit smoking next Saturday (hardest goal of all)

Hi,

Maybe we could encourage you to quit smoking? Good to know you want to quit. So pat yourself on the back and Check this thread out..

That sounds like a fantastic plan tjoiner. Good Luck and keep us informed on your progress.

Giving up smoking is not too hard if you keep yourself busy and avoid those social smoking triggers and remember to reward yourself with all that extra cash you'll be saving.

Another dodo of a day

[Monday]

Hello

I had been being good and eating sensibly and exercising and then it all went out the window and I haven't weighed myself yet but I'm pretty sure I have put on all the weight I lost.

Today is a new day and I am getting organised, doing more, working towards my future, exercising and eating well!

So far I have had:
B - cup of tea, 2 weetabix with soay milk
snack - one slice of raisin bread with marg and 2 glasses of water
Lunch - not that hungry so ate some strawberries

Have run up and down stairs 8 times, done 50 sit ups, done some squats and did 70 skips.

Will take dogs for walk later when it is cooler. Plan to drink more water and maybe a cup of tea, eat some strawberries if I get hungry and then this eve will be doing something with Tofu for dinner, will try and add in a decent amount of veg.

I have written some letters and done a bit of housework. Need to do a bit more housework and a few other bits.

Am pleased so far as have been reasonably motivated.

Sorry to hear of your loss Treehugga - you are doing ever so well, don't worry about a few bad days.

Foxy - hope you feel better soon.

Monday xx

how much do u want to lose

[foxytina_69]

hmmm, maybe 10 or 15 more pounds and then ill probably not want to lose anymore. god knows i wouldnt be happy as a stick lol. a girls gotta have her curves.

[paulvegan]

i've just looked at ur profile pic ur not that big, 10/15 more pounds is a lot wont u b a stick if u lose that much, and o yes a girl must have curves sticks na dont want to no

[foxytina_69]

my profile is just a face pic. theres no way you could tell what i look like from there! i have body pics on other threads, like the what did you wear today thread and the sexiest vegan poll thread.

10/15 pounds isnt that much. ill probably average around the 10 pounds give or take a few.

[paulvegan]

ive seen ur pic else were it was yester day 2 pic very simler i think u was wearing a pink skirt cant remember the thread e looked at ur profile pic to make sure it was who i thought u were, if that makes sense. about a stone i would say that is a lot, im not nagging u just concernd

[foxytina_69]

dont worry, i dont think youre nagging me! but believe me, i do have lots of bits that are flabby and could stand to lose a few lol.

[paulvegan]

join the club ive more than afew bits baggy

[foxytina_69]

LOL. i guess we all do!

[Wishin986]

I'm starting to be able to fit into more and more of my old clothes which is a plus.. so I guess that means I've lost some weight?

I am trying to motivate myself to get back into running. I had done so well in the fall and then working out everyday this past semester at the gym buutt its insane how quickly you lose it. I dont have a new gym membership and it seems somewhat pointless to get it for a month and a half now... so I'm gonna try and just force myself to go out to the track most days and figure out when its not being used. I'm applying to this study abroad program in Kenya right now and they have an international marathon when I would be there - I think it would be amazing to train for that (its a little under a year away) but man would I have to start building myself up again now!! So we shalll seee - first I have to get into the program!

[foxytina_69]

wow wishin an international marathon. what an amazing thing!!

today ive only eaten chips and a glass of cider. god knows what else will be put into my system lol.

[Wishin986]

wow wishin an international marathon. what an amazing thing!!

Yup! now if only I can bring myself to do it.... I looked up a half marathon training program to bring me up to one in october so maybe if i stick to that and get to that one then I can do it over there.. one step at a time, right?

[foxytina_69]

definitely wishin!

i havent eaten anything else but drank 2 more glasses of cider. lol.

[foxytina_69]

well i gained 5 pounds overnight from eating 2 veggie burgers lol. ohwell itll be gone soon.

today ive eaten organic tortilla chips w/ salsa and red pepper hummus. i also plan on having some fruit when i get hungry again and i dont know what for dinner yet!

[foxytina_69]

today:

lunch:
-tortilla chips w/ salsa and red pepper hummus
dinner: (snacked lots)
-rice crackers w/ mock tuna and sliced dill pickes
-fruit (strawberries, watermelon and pineapple)
-smoothie (strawberries, pineapple, oj w/ calcium and soy milk)

ETA:

-small bowl of pickled four bean salad
-few sprigs of pickled asparagus
-bowl of brown rice pasta

jeez today was really all about the snacking lol.

[foxytina_69]

today:

lunch:
-3 mock tuna cakes on tomato slices topped w/ red pepper, v. bacon bits and light catalina dressing
-6 pickled asparagus spears
-cup oj w/ calcium
dinner:
-gluten free pancakes w/ v. butter and maple syrup, tofu bacon, and tofu scramble. yummm it was delicious.

[Tigerlily]

I'm trying to do this "new thing" were I only eat when hungry. I know a lot of weight loss advice suggests not doing this actually--to eat small portions continually throughout the day. Well, I can't eat small servings, I have bingey issues. So now I only eat when hungry. Seems to be working well so far!
