So, with six weeks to Chicago (OMFGGSGQGGHBKbYHiKKHwwvfswjcos!!!), I've decided it's a good deadline for some weightloss. I'm aiming for two dress sizesish - from a 16-18 to a 12-14.

In the past two days I've done pretty well: banana for breakfast; bean salads for lunch, today with a hard boiled egg; plain rice with lemon and chicken stock in the evening (which I love), today with some sweetcorn in it. To drink I have had water with lemon in (no sugar as you would have in lemonade), which I also really enjoy.

I have had nothing fizzy, no sweets, no bread, one cappuccino with powdered milk from the coffee machine.

I just poured myself a glass of Coke, had a sip and then realised what I was doing and poured it down the sink.

I'm really super busy over the next few weekends, as well (shopping with Jasmine & Saffron, the kiddie cousins, this weekend; Lib coming to stay next weekend; two nights of investigations the next week; Funeral for a Friend with Lib the week after; an investigation in Nottingham the week after than and then Chicago!) so I won't be sitting around vegetating. I don't have much time for a lot of exercise, but there will be sit ups, press-ups and things.

I know that with a deadline I can do this. And then I shall have to spend money on new jeans, but hell, it'll be worth it.

Well go you! I'm terrible because I'm really unfit but also really lazy. I went on a cross trainer for five minutes and my legs were like jelly and I couldn't breathe! So basically I'm amazed by your self-control. And yeah, go you! :D

This post made me look at my oreos and third can of Diet Pepsi and then at my squishy. I'll go put them away now.

you know what? I need to lose weight too...I think a competition is in order :D If you're interested. My friend and mom and I tried last year and it kinda went down the tubes...
I'm a size 18 at the moment. I have a wedding the same week as the concert in Chicago, so it'd be nice to look hot in a dress for it ;)

What do you say?

Go for it! It'll be a great incentive.

alright, you're on my dear ^_^




....after all, we have to look hot for the (fall out) boys, am I right?

SRSLY.

We definitely need to measure in dress sizes, rather than weight, as well.

[pyraterose.livejournal.com]

definitely. I'm a 16/18 at the moment too, so we're tied for now ;o)

Well, British 16-18 is a US 12-14, I think. But numerically it's going to make it much easier! :D
