yay! lol.
ive been dieting my fat ass off! ive been chugging water for the past week and a half, eating soooo much better and walking every day =) i feel so good. today alone ive drank 9 500ml bottles of water. i normally go for a 40 minute walk each day. but today was fecking cold so i only went for a quick 10 minute one.ive also cut out a LOT of sodium in my diet. no more fatty easy microwaveable meal shit. just fresh food. im munching on grapes as i type =)i havent had deep fried food since febuary!! i only had mcdonalds fries ONCE since then. i havent eaten bread in about 4 days. i feel so much more energized, and i feel like ive lost weight already. its great. tomorrow im going back on my excercise ball/ab machine thingy to do a few crunches too.
anyways, does anyone have any other suggestions for me to do to help lost some inches around my waist/thighs/chest? anything can help me =) just something simple and fun. thanks guys xx

Lol well confidence wins all in my opinion. A fat person with confidence is more attractive to me that a skinny person with none.
I love the feeling of feeling good about myself. This semester I joined the cheerleading team and I had to work out atleast 3 times a week on top of practice 4 times a week, plus games. It took up alot of my time but i felt great and it was the first time in my life i actually started getting abs haha. My boobies disappeared on me though, and its not like I had anything to begin with either :-/

This is prolly going to be a TMI moment...but it works best when i'm watching a movie with them and i'm always cold so we spoon. Of course I get what I like to call "party hats" alot, so I do the booby dance and poke them. I only do that with close friends though lol. I'm weird.

Congrats and I wish you luck. I've been meaning to start going on a diet too but I lack the damn willpower and I can't make it past a week. I even lack confidence.. :-(
One day I'll get those both.....one day...

Hey Ashley, I know what you mean... my gf and I are exactly the same, one day one of us will feel good, one day the other might, but sometimes, neither of us will go near the dreaded mirror!!! lol
I'm not to bad at the moment, cuz I worked out that since this time last year, I've lost 24kg's ... it's taken a lot of work down the gym, pushing yourself harder than you think you can manage, but, not so hard you injure yourself, and, believe it or not, in Feb, I found out I was lactose intollerant, since then I've lost even more weight... those darn dairy products really keep the weight on!!! lol
Also, the real reason I wanted to post was to tell you about the GI diet, if you don't already know about it, I really try and stick to that, barring the odd slip up, because it's not even a real diet, it just informs you of what's good and bad to eat for digestion, so you've got green yellow and red foods, green you can eat anytime, yellow once in a while, red very occassionally, and it's great  seriously
I did find, while I could still eat dairy, that if I made a proper smoothie, with a tonne of fruit in it and a lil bit of yoggie to hold it together, that'd keep me going till about 2 in the afternoon, so sometimes it's good to look at things like that too
Right now, I'm not so hot on the old exercise though, because I decided that it'd be a great idea to damage myself, and now I hafta go to the chiropractor, and not do anything to strenuous in between!!! lol
Anyway, hope this helps, and, keep up the good work ... tis all about the willpower, and you've shown you've got that in spades just don't let it drop off, otherwise... well, speaking from experience, it's easy to slip into old habbits ... now I even do a lot of my own baking because that way I know exactly what's in what I'm eating... works wonders
laters!

Further info/independant review of the GI Diet:
http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/diet/gi_diet.htm
This is the book I personally use as a guideline:
http://www.bgstores.co.uk/index.php?main...1a780cbab4f2466
I haven't seen this one before, but came accross is browsing for other info... shameless plug for Anthony Worrall Thomson, but I do think he's a genius chef and I do enjoy his recipes on the whole:
http://www.samedaybooks.co.uk/details.php?isbn=9781856266116&s=gb
Also, for purposes of baking, you can easily replace dairy milk with a non dairy substitute such as soy, however when cooking with soy milk, from experience, I have found whatever amount of normal milk you would use, you need approximately double that in soy for the same recipe, I have no idea why that is, but trust me it works
For anyone looking to lose weight, or if they have any symptoms similar to what I was getting ((I'm lactose intolerant) chronic stomach aches, being stuck on the toilet for hours, possible sickness, dull abdominal pains etc) then it's well worth cutting the dairy out for a few days... though, you do find yourself having to check labels everytime you're in the supermarket if you don't eat dairy, cuz you'd be amazed at the products which contain lactose... even crisps (chips for those of you not from the UK) have it in, every flavour except for ready salted, and even a few brands of ready salted!!! totally sucks, but hey... great for keeping the pounds off!!! lol

lol I know exactly how you feel. I'm in denial sometimes. I'll see this gorgeous top and be like "I want this" and my friends go "you're sure that will fit". Of course it won't but I try to make it fit. Doesn't work.
But things are getting better. I'm going to make it my goal to go down to a 36D by December.

Good Job!!
I wish I could lose 20 pounds, but I'm too lazy.. I like my food and Coke. It would have helped hiking in the Sierras last week at 10,000 feet. Huff Huff Huff. I thought my chest was going to explode.

You can still eat any foods you like when you're on a diet. The best advice would always be to still eat healthy and limit fatty and sugar loaded foods. I eat shit that's bad for me all the time, except every day of my life I am burning more calories than I'm taking in so my weight stays roughly the same. I'm like 5% body fat but I eat like a horse all the time. I'm an ectomorph and some aren't like me, but good job for getting the motivation to lose weight and keep it up!
