Proud of myself.
Without going into much detail, I have been crying for hours in my room with the lights off and curtains closed. I wanted some comfort food, so I ordered pizza. BUT. I chose carefully, avoided temptation and chose a small pizza with some garlic mozzerella (sp?) sticks. I am now only 57 calories over, and have my 30DS…

Heart rate monitor question? Afterburn, or just a crap model
Okaaaaaaaay, so I got my HRM the other day. It has a cute little chest strap (makes me feel all professional and proper ^_^) and a watch. The watch is kinda confusing, but I'm sort of getting there. Anyway, I slaved away on the stepper today, for about 15-20 minutes. The machine told me 100+ cals, but I don't trust it. The…

Advise me about the gym!
Hello. Yesterday was my first time going to the gym and actually breaking a sweat! However, I was wondering if any of you could advise me on how best to use the gym to my advantage. I'm not a huge fan of cardio but pushed myself yesterday. But I also done some light strength training and found I enjoy that much more. Any…

Need some motivational words right now ..
Had a bit of a setback :( I had 700+ calories left so I ate a banana. Then I ate a carrot slice. I couldn't find the calories for it ANYWHERE. I even called them up, but they said they'll get back to me tomorrow. Then I ate three chocolate and nut bars AND two chocolate banana chips. It was scary. I felt out of control and…

THREE NSVs today!
1. Work trousers felt a little loser and more comfortable, and didn't cut into me as much. 2. Covered at another store and one of the ladies there that I've met once asked me if I'm losing weight. 3. Went back to my store and a co-worker asked me if I'm losing weight. **** YEAH! :D Oh, and here's my current progress pics.

Just wanted to post some before/after pics showing my GAIN.
As the title suggests, I would like to post some before and after pictures. I wish it was in reverse, but hey, LOL. The before is how I looked before I piled on the pounds, and the after is me now. Once I lose weight, I can post some after ones, and these horrible current ones can become my before :) Excuse the immaturity…
