The Diamond Challenge: Round 3 - Wk 1 (DITR)

Wednesday: Are you active in any other MFP message boards to help you with your goals? Do you have weekly/monthly goals? What are they and how do you keep track of them?

I spend way too much time reading the MFP sucess stories. I am fascinated by their stories, triumphs, and it helps me to believe that weight loss for me is possible too.

Goals: consistently lose for the life of the diamond challenge
exercise 3-4 times per week
eat three meals a day - at least 70grams of protein each day
drink 8+ glasses of water a day.

Track them here of course!

Thus QOTD: Has your weight stopped you from achieving anything?

Being more outgoing.

QOTD Friday June 24: What do you think will be the most wonderful thing about reaching your goal weight?

For me its going to be the self confidence I gain, and looking in the mirror and not wanting to change a thing about what I see. I just want to totally love myself. I also will take great pleasure in not being the "fat friend" any more. I always have been, but now I wear the same size pants as one of my smaller friends:) I told her and I think she was a bit mad, oh the small joys...

QOTD Friday June 24: What do you think will be the most wonderful thing about reaching your goal weight?

Learning to love and accept my body and taking joy in that it is as healthy as I can make it. I just hope my self confidence will be able to back up with how great I AM going to look!

That I will look great in a bikini with tight *kitten*, abs and toned beautiful arms, I will be the woman that people look at and think 'wow, she has a great body!' Which I hope will inspire someone else to want to make the changes I am so they can be fit and healthy too.

Hope you all have a good day, take care.

QOTD Friday - Most wonderful thing about reaching goal weight?

Going to see the surgeon who told me I needed a gastric bypass and showing him he was wrong (to put it nicely)

Wearing a sexy dress and not having to wear spanx or suck in my tummy all night!! Can not wait!

QOTD Wednesday. Are you active in any other MFP message boards to help you with your goals? Do you have weekly/monthly goals? What are they and how do you keep track of them?


I am doing a 100 push up/200 sit up challenge and I try to be very active with all my friends. I have received some great advice that has helped me so far. My monthly goal for June was to lose 9 pounds and to increase my water intake. I have a note book that I keep track of everything in.

Thurs QOTD: Has your weight stopped you from achieving anything?

I have always been involved in amateur dramatics and I have found that a lot of times I have not been successful in auditions because of my size. An example of this was when I auditioned for Return to the Forbidden Planet where I was told I did a brilliant audition and was better than many of the experienced dancers but did not get in because the guys on the panel said no one wants to watch a fat girl dance.

OK, I'm late doing this question because I totally spaced on it!! Usually I do my stuff in the morning, but yesterday I had an early, busy day!

First off, that is a horrible thing for them to tell you!! I have a friend that was pretty much told a similar thing when she auditioned for American Idol..they said she had the right voice and the wrong look. As for me....my weight as never stopped me....but my being self-conscience of myself has. I had not always been heavy. I didn't get really overweight until high school. I suppose, in some ways, my weight has stopped me from making more friends because I am so shy and so hard on myself that I don't just put myself out there. I am shy because of my weight, and I'm so afraid because I'm heavier than most of the girls around here, they won't like me. But that's more me than my weight.

Hmm....this one took a little thought for me. I have so many things that would just be amazing when I reach my goal weight. First, being more confident. I know when I look around I'm the biggest girl in our area. All of the girls around here that are my age are skinny minnies, and I can't wait to say that I am the same size as they are. Another is being able to sit down in any type of chair and not wonder if it's going to break when I sit in it. Yesterday, my mom and I went shopping, and she wanted to stop into Pier 1 to look at a few things. Well, we saw this awesome chair that kind of looked like an egg and it was hanging on a hook and you could swing and spin and everything. Well...I was too afraid to sit in it. My mom tried so hard to get me to try it out, but I justs couldn't. What if it broke right there in the middle of the store?? I would have been horrified!!! So, those are just two things, but I have many, many more small reasons why I can't wait!
