TSR Weight Loss Society Part II

Hey Guys,

I went doctors yesterday to change my pill. Anyway i had to get weighed.. and i am nearly 10 stone!! It wouldn't be a big deal but i'm only 5 ft 1.. I just can't figure out how on earth i've put on nearly 2 stone since starting university!! I mean i knew i'd put a little bit but i definitely wasn't expecting THAT much! It has only been a couple of months after all What do i do?!

I wanna get a hula hoop as well!! I HATE doing sit-ups and the like, but hula hooping sounds like fun. And I heard that it really is a good work-out.

I need to join this society, I need to lose weight, I need to stop eatting so goddamn much. This morning I found it really easy to get up for the first time in AGES, and upon asking myself why I realised that, for the first time in the aforementioned AGES, I was hungry for breakfast as opposed to still stuffed from all the crap I ate the night before.

So. I am going to start being healthy now. I'm getting myself one of them look-how-much-weight-I've-Lost thingies in my sig. Things are going to change, man!

And stick to low calorie drinks like vodka and diet coke rather than wine or alcopops which are just full of sugar.

^ Dry white wine has less calories than sweet wine. (although I much prefer sweet wine - typical!)

Me too, nearly 10 stone, 5'1", was just over 8 stone when I got to uni. It happens. You just need to do loads of exercise to keep on top of the drinking and ****ty food at uni.

But that's the thing.. I'm not a big drinker.. And other than Ben and Jerrys (which i can't afford to buy that often anway) i don't really eat loads of junk i don't think..
And i've been going to the gym at my accommodation..
I just really can't figure it out...

Must be something, you don't put on weight out of nowhere! Before I started losing weight I'd convinced myself I ate well and exercised enough but I clearly didn't. Unless you cut your calories to 1500 a day or less you're going to have to do quite a lot of exercise (in my experience anyway). I'm at gymnastics about 6 hours a week and trampolining about 4 and then I probably walk a mile each day on average and I eat what I like (within reason) and am only losing weight very very slowly even doing all that.

I need to join here. I need to lose weight, it's quite disgusting. I've just gone on the pill, and the pill combined with student lifestyle (i.e. drinking) has made my weight rocket up. I'm so uncomfortable right now, it's untrue.
I do eat healthily for the most part, but I have issues with drunk-induced eating, not to mention that I'm trying to overcome an eating disorder, which means that I have no idea of when I'm hungry or full, so I tend to just eat and eat, or not eat at all. So, regular meal-times, regular portion sizes. I walk to my lectures daily, and that adds up to a good hour of walking, but I'm quite sedientary for the rest of the time, so I'm going to go running at least twice a week, I'm going to do sit-ups, and I have a ballet workout DVD, which I'm going to use, daily hopefully. After Christmas, I am going to join a gym, but I can't until then because my trainers are at home!

To everyone who goes to the gym or goes running etc. I can't emphasise enough how much good it does to just do 10 minutes of something in your room every day on top of whatever you're doing.

The conditioning exercises gymnasts do are so good for toning and strengthening and if you're losing weight and toning at the same time you look much thinner quicker. You might be able to find some exercises if you Google it. If not and anyone's interested then I can always type some up on here when I get a minute.

I was told from a male friend of mine I had a really good figure today

Makes it worth it when people notice
