Another day trying to lose the weight

Hello all, When was the last day I updated? I been taking videos everyday now, but not posting in my blog. Last night one is literally dark. While today I am bright, sunny, and in my pjs! Yep that is right today is a pj day! Did my laundry and such and decided to relax. since I over exercised yesterday and my body is sore. Still can dance and such, but not much. I might just roll around on my yoga ball to help my back out. the sucker is all kinked up.

My new scale came in today. And in the second video you can see some video of my bike. when I go ride it again I will take pictures, hopefully.  I am still working hard on losing weight. Currently I am struggling with keeping up 1200 calories. I just haven't been hungry for the last couple days. It doesn't help that the food choices I make are like 80 calories. So yeah, need to work on that. since I want to be 1500 not 1200.

Also that myfitnessjournal app makes anyone feel fat. saying that your net will result in weight gain. You want a positive net since most of your calories go to regulate your body temp.

well I am off to watch frozen. Please continue to support me. Love you guys!

Day 32 on losing weight

Well since I walked all day I lost any weight I would have gained by this unhealthy day. I mean I did eat small portions, but still not the best choices in food today. I will do better tomorrow.  Or should I say today.

I was going to show you pictures of my bike today, however I went off with a friend and roamed about and even found a tiny toilet. which amused me since I am a despicable me fan.

So tomorrow is saint patties day, so I will go for a bike ride and then park myself around the computer for the sharmrocks.

Exercising around that time too.

WOw it's been a month trying to lose weight. Day 31

 

 

Hey everyone Halie here again! Can you believe it has been a straight month? Right now I am relaxing as my muscles feel heavy. Apparently trying to bike up a hill was a bad idea. Yes You heard me Bike! I got a bike! I will upload pictures tomorrow! :D

 

Well in my videos, day 30 I am talking about my struggles with why I did not try to lose weight before now. You see my sister is anorexic and so are a few of my friends. I don't like what it does to them. They all think they are fine, but it is always saddening. I don't want to be like that, but I am scared I am like that. And with peer pressure from people who are losing weight by being anorexic I push myself too hard sometimes and end up tired. I don't like competing, but I hate

 being told my method is wrong. I think it is right. I know it's healthier.

 Also in the videos, I mention the fact I didn't get a lot to eat as a kid. This lead to me hording food. In fact I still stock pile to this day. However I make sure I eat everything, or I share the food. But the fear of starving to death is ingrain into me. So I actually allowed myself to get fat thinking that I could last longer in a situation if I have fat stored up. It is a very real fear of mine to be starving to death. Maybe because I didn't get enough to eat as a child.

And then there is the fear of my own strength. You see I was never taught control. I should have been in martial arts when I was little, but no one wanted to deal with that. You see for as long as I can remember I been stronger than normal with no control. Like a blundering elephant. Able to crush cans of soda while still filled if I wasn't careful. However when I stopped being so active, my strength went down. And when I went to hug people, they didn't turn purple like before. So I thought that was a good thing.

However I should not fear my own self anymore. Maybe this time I will be able to control my strength. Maybe this time I will make sure I don't starve. Maybe this time I will not become anorexic due to peer pressure.


On a happier note, I got a bike today as explained in video 31. It is awesome! It is a white bike which I also got a tire pump and a lock for it. so cool. I am so happy! It is white, even though I hate white. But hey It works. and I found out I live on a hill since I went whooshing down it unable to stop.

Once I get stronger I will so be able to go on longer rides. :D

Like I said before please encourage and help me out. Thanks!

trying to lose weight day 28 and 29

 

Hey halie here yet again. I didn't post yesterday but I made a video. I been keeping up with my exercise and doing the best I can. NOt much I can say.

 

I been having trouble keeping up my calories as 1200 is the cut off for a healthy diet. No one should drop below that. However I am worried that someone I know is. I don't like anorexia and I know starving yourself is not a good way to lose the weight. Anorexia causes the skin to hang lose like bags, discoloration to the skin, aggressiveness, prissiness, anger, short temper, eye sight problems, rapid weight gain when one does begin to eat, stalls weight loss, Gains weight, teeth problems and many others. And I already see those problems arising in this other person. I don't want to be like that, so I refuse to drop below 1200.

 

Also if you don't believe me Look it up.

 

I am dong my best to work out even though My otaku and writer side are like "Keyboard!"

 

And I am working hard to figure out how to get that new bike I want.

 

Hope to see you all again soon. laters

Trying to lose weight day 26 and 27

 

Hey halie here! As always I am doing stuff. Yesterday I just did the video not the written blog. Who knows what you guys do. Read or watch my videos. No clue.

 

Well apparently I am an exercising nut according to the  my fitness pal app for the smart phones and androids. It says I can have 1750 and lose weight. It says the exercising is negative to the calories.  Yes I know it's true, but seriously I don't think I burned that much. I will keep working out to lose weight.

 

I apparently burned over 800 calories today. I guess that is good. More than I use to. I use to just sit around so any exercise is better than none. However I do like to dance while I cook, so 15 minutes dancing burns about 115 calories.  :D

 

ALso thank you for anyone who messaged me with their support it means the world to me.

 

Catch ya all later.

Day 25 on trying to lose weight

Hey halie here. Nice to see you all again! Man my camera phone is dark! This is the first video with the new phone. I got a new phone today so I been pissed off since nothing was working right. I lost the number I had for over 12 years and it pissed me off.  So I went about trying to fix it, making people run after me. Apparently I can walk really fast when pissed off. And even though I yelled at drivers who were driving too close to the sidewalk, I was nice enough to toss branches off the sidewalk into the grass for my friend.

I honestly don't know what all the exercises I do are. But I do them in spurts. Whatever is easy on my knees and doesn't strain me too much. I happily watch movies and shows as I exercise. It makes the time go faster.

I am happy to say I got messages from two people who read or watch my blog. It makes me happy that someone is paying attention, so I can keep motivated to keep going. I love you guys! :D

Well I am going to keep working on getting more fit, keep on encouraging me! And have fun!

I am guessing Day 24 on losing weight

Halie here, Lost track of the days already. hahaha. this video was taped Friday. I just didn't upload and such. sorry.

I lost 7 more pounds! I am now 225 hurray! I will keep losing weight. I was busy going though costumes for the wedding next year. However I did exercise.

I fell off my yoga ball again. How funny. The yoga ball is great though. helps my back out immensely. My body still makes some popping and cracking noises but it is nothing big.

I tried to roller skate today, I really suck. I almost ate dirt over 30 times, crashed into a bush twice.  My stoppers are not looking good, a bit used up. I could only last 10 minutes before my feet started to hurt.

But my scale should come in 10 days from 8 days from now 18 days? It will be awesome!

Please keep encouraging me.

Day 22 trying to lose weight

Weeeeeee! Day 22! I am trying to lose weight it is true.  Today my skates came it! Hurray! I am so happy! However I have no clue on how to skate. But standing next to people I look like a giant! people wanted to take pictures because it is so funny.

As someone I know wanted a frozen music cd so I got up some amazon gift cards from swagbucks to buy it. however to get the free shipping I have to spend 35 dollars so I have  a scale and such waiting in the wings. In 10 days I will be able to purchase the items.

Tomorrow I will get on a scale which will be lovely. I would love that at least to see if I lost any weight. I hope I lost weight.

My one friend gave me a cute dress and I like it. It is for when I do lose weight. The skinnier I get the better. I want to look hot damn for the wedding next October.

My stretch cord

 My yoga ball! I fell off it again

My new skates

Day 21 trying to lose weight

Hey all! Halie here as always.  Yesterday I was at the gym so my normal exercises went out the window. Did them today though. with some yoga ball action mixed in.

You see yesterday my friend took me to the gym. We exercised and such. I learned while she is faster on the treadmill I am more successful for the bikes. Which makes me wanting to get a bike all the more pronounced. Also the people in her gym are nice and a bit weird. but hey, weird is good. I think.

We went to the mall yesterday too. where I got a stretch cord and a yoga ball. The latter I then inflated like a balloon. Let's face it I had no pumps for it.

I been eating somewhere around 1100 to 1500 calories a day. Pretty good I say. I sure hope I am losing weight.

I did my exercises today as I said and succeeded in falling off the yoga ball. I still need to figure some stuff out with that. but  it did something I thought it would and needed. My back has been all kinked and bugging me. when I had this problem in high school I would bend over backwards on a chair in my math class. Not sure how but those math class chairs always cracked my back into place. And so does that yoga ball when I bend over backwards on it. :D my back feels great!

My roller skates should be in tomorrow. I just checked and they are in the next town over along with the music book. no idea where the cloth is. But yeah. Amazon is a crazy job. good luck amazon people!

Also my one friend had her lover watch my blog. He thought I was nuts. but really this is so I can feel pressure and continue on my goal.  who knows when I am 100 I can look back and say "Oh look at that, I was trying to be thinner."

:P

So as always keep supporting and cheering me on. If you can help let me know. Laters

Trying to lose weight day 19

hello halie here. Does anyone even read this blog? Most likely not. I mean I am not famous or anything. ahahaha. We all wish we were. So here I am after the shower if you watched the video you would know.

My life is going to hell in a hamster basket and you know exercising has been either putting me into the right or knocking me so off kilter that I am not getting as pissed. Which is good as when I get pissed off, everyone should run. hahaha. Seriously that rare and that dangerous when I get provoked.

I am still exercising like a nut. And annoyed my skates are taking so long to ship. I want them now! Yes I sound spoiled. However I don't see what is so hard about putting skates into a box and shipping them out! same with my fabric and the frozen music sheet book I ordered for someone's birthday.

I was so getting use to amazon's speedy delivery. Which oddly enough out of my last 5 packages 2 came on a sunday to everyone's confusion.

And like I said in my last post, my friend's wedding has been pushed back to October and it is a costume wedding. So why not write down what you think I should be. I like so far sesshomaru, any sailor scout, and a few other anime characters. I am not doing Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho. I was tempted to do Yoko Kurama however I can't find his outfit for cosplay anywhere! I am going to keep looking I am a total nerd and such when it comes to characters. Please give me your thoughts.

and as always please support and guide me as I try to lose weight. Size 16 here I come!

Day 18 trying to lose weight

Hey all! I am back once again. Did you miss me?

I am still doing my exercises. Though dancing in the kitchen while I was cooking was a bit hard today. I was fantascing about my new roller skates that are coming in and ended up moving like I would with skates. Not good for dancing though still amusing to watch I guess.

I ran into my gal pal while shopping for a helmet today. Truthfully she saw me strolling by looking for another friend. My bunny hat was a dead give away it was me. I guess they really are quite unique. Too bad not many people buy them. Well she told me that she is moving her wedding to October and making it a Halloween theme. So that means I am suppose to get a costume. So everyone you can help me pick out a costume! Mind you I am aiming to be a size 16 waist so no clue what will fit yet. I am a major otaku so yes I looked up some anime costumes.  I will be cool with a whole bunch of different types. I am a Halloween nut!

Oh yeah I got my helmet today. I hope you like it. I like it too. And I am about 50 bucks away from a new bike. Hurray! Got to keep going! :P

As always, please cheer me on and give support!

Day 17 trying to lose weight

Halie here. Otaku nut. I am hoping to get into good enough shape to be a good Inu Yasha cosplay. My friends a few years ago had wanted to dress me up as either Sesshomaru or Kenshin from Rounai Kenshin.

Today I went shopping got more celery. It is very good to chew on. Yummy. Chomp Chomp. However everyone keeps telling me to eat it with different things. Peanut butter, Maple syrup, ranch dressing, and such. most of which the stuff I hate.

Today I finished ordering roller skates. they may be men's and a size bigger than my feet, but then again not all shoes fit as they say. In ten days I will have roller skates. That means I will get a helmet soon so I can skate around.

I want to keep losing weight. I am doing all sorts of exercises and stretches. but I have no idea if it is effective. I will keep going on losing weight.

please help me if you can. thanks a bunch.

Trying to lose weight day 16

YO! Halie here once again. Well duh, who else types on this blog but me? Am I talking to anyone else but me? Who knows!?

I did my exercises today, adding in jumping jaxs into the fray. Due to my house's electric bill being so high last month I am reserving the lights, which means exercising in the dark! while I am also annoyed at the bigger bill I am not going to fret. I will just keep on working on my goals and make some modifications.

I weighed myself today on another scale and it turns out I lost 2 more pounds! while my evil scale still has me at 240, I am now really 228. so 250 minus 228 equals 22 pounds! I am 22 pounds lighter! hurray! still need to lose more weight and apparently buy a new scale. EVIL!

I am trying to buy some roller skates. I can't blade at all. I am a klutz so I think putting me on a balance beam with wheels is not a good idea. So yeah. :D

I also have noted today that I am in a more balanced mood than others. so exercising is helpful even though the people around me are frowning upon me doing exercise.  I am losing the support team. Apparently diet is what they believe not both. but you must do both. I was told today that I was exercising too much and that I should only exercise for 30 minutes only. However I don't even exercise 30 minutes. I do 10 minutes here and there. Or enough until I feel tired or something. Well I will wait til tonight and take my lantern down to do exercise late at night not to bother anyone. Seriously some people are so cynical. But as I noticed I am not in a bad mood however others have had doom clouds around them the whole time. poor them.

have fun and support me as always. laters!

Day 14 and 15 of losing weight

Hey all. I might look a bit sick today that is due to the fact that I drank an energy drink that made me ill. I don't do well with foods or drinks that have vegetable and fruit juice combined. V8 and apparently this drink.  So I couldn't exercise today. too busy throwing up. lucky me.

Yesterday I did jumping jax and some jump rope and my normal exercises. I also was on amazon and have some skates in my cart. Soon I will order those skates and have them come to me so I can do more cardio. It is lots of fun to skate. :D

well I will sleep off this stomach ache. I hope to be better tomorrow.
laters

Day 13 of trying to lose weight

Halie here again! Today was busy is just as yesterday. I worked out doing all sorts. Anything to lose weight haha. I got on another scale today, not mine, and It said I was 232, that is 2 pounds lighter! yay! However my scale I believe is broken since it is still says 240. That is insane, I dropped at least 13 pounds.  I will keep working at it.

I ate at arbrys today. Yuck. Too many carbs, and calories. I wonder is it so strange to see someone not eat as much as what is normal.

Oh another Japanese rice bowl/soup bowl came in. My one housemate is happily going to join me on the portion control diet thing using the rice bowls. So it is like moral support! I am working harder on my swagbucks to earn more points so I can buy stuff for my diet and exercise.

I want a bike, and a yoga ball at least. If I can I will join a gym soon. I really want to use a trendmill or a bike.

I want to get a skinny tummy, so anyone know any times on that.

Oh look at the video I got information for my diet.

Day 12 on trying to lose weight

Hey Halie here. I been currently struggling at keeping up my calories. I realized that most of my calories were earned from double portions and candy. Now that I eat a lot less of everything, it drops my calories drastically! A bit shocking to know that my diet was so strange.  I sound like such an extremist.

I am working on getting my calories right and also on exercise. I am enjoying exercising, which is kina funny since I hated it before. I don't exercise in like one sitting. I do most of it in one shot, but then I do bits and pieces though out the day. when I get bored I do some arm exercises.

Day 11 on trying to lose weight

Hey Halie is here yet again. Gosh the sun is bright today. It was warmer than normal so I went for a walk to get the sunday paper. So worth it. I even found a snake on the path. How weird. Isn't it still too cold?

Awesomely my cat bowl came in today. No that is not a dish for a cat it is a Japanese rice/soup bowl with cats on it! hurray!

In comparison, eating out of the rice bowl is a lot less food. I mean for a while I was over filling the biggest, but I decided to go down. trying to figure out portion size in the next size was a bit harder. In fact American style bowls are so not styled for portion control. The Japanese one is. The bowl and even the half of the onion crisper I was using as a bowl hold about a cup worth of food, just slightly more. Most portion sizes are a cup since your stomach is only the size of your fist.

I been reducing calories yet, according to the calorie counters I am suppose to be taking in a min of 1800 some calories or else it is unhealthy. O.o correct me if I am wrong but isn't the diet set at 2000, so them telling me to eat 3000 some calories to maintain my weight and 2300 some calories to lose some weight is weird to me. I think 1500 is what women are suppose to eat, it is what I think I should stick to. Even though I know I been eating way more than that! I most likely use to consume about 3000 to 4000 calories a day. And don't gape and go that is a lot since a pizza is like 500 calories and that is a small one that is personal. Just think of the times you ate a whole pizza.

So the name of the game is control!

Tell me what you think and such.

These two pictures show the comparison of the dishes I use. Or the big white one has been retired except for situations like serving.

The following pictures show my new Japanese rice/soup bowl. I adore it already, It is so cute! I love it!

Day 10 of trying to lose weight

Hey Halie here! Where was I? Oh going portion crazy. Last night I went a bit nutso and put all my special k Ceral into serving size baggies so I don't over eat.  I was amused to see the differences between the cocoa almond vs Red berry ceral. Kinda amusing. but yeah.

I went shopping today and got almond breeze milk, 80 calories per a serving. though I am no longer sure I do serving size as I just do enough to get my ceral soggy enough. And yes ceral stays crunchy for 15 minutes. It does. or at least until I am finished eating it. all depends on the size of the ceral piece.

My rice bowls should be in Tuesday. Tuesday is going to be one hell of a busy day! I have places to be, events to take part in and idiots who won't admit they are wrong ever to deal with. How will I ever find the time to exercise or eat right? This is why people eat unhealthy, time contrasts. It would be so much easier to pack soda and nachos. Not healthier though. Anyways I only drink soda to calm my stomach down or in those lousy food places where there is no chance of water. Ugh. and people wonder why I carry around a water bottle complete with filter.

Tomorrow I will go for a walk I think. I need to keep losing weight or I will never be a size 16.

Day 9 of trying to lose weight

Hey halie here, Yeah I got the days wrong again. hahaha, so stupid of me. I been busy with the diet, exercise and other stuff in my life that is making it hell that counting the days is not that important. :P As long as I do things I am suppose to do in the long run. Yep.

 < this is the onion thing compared to a real bowl, when I get the rice bowls I will do two more shots like that or more depending on the bowls. but this is the size of things.

< these are my weights I use, they are to help me strengthen my leg muscles.

 

Well today I was  busy seeing the doctor again. It is that time of year where you see each doctor yearly. It will be great when that part is over.

 

I put in more codes for kelloggs rewards. only 490 points on there. pitiful!

I finished my exercises while I waited for the video to load, however I can't remember what I ate today for the life of me. I hope it was under 1500 calories. still working out, doing my best. want to be in a size 16 in the next 15 months. though according to my doctor I still need to lose 100 pounds! if I do that I would so be half the person I am now. then I could use my clothes as flags and sails!

 

^ my exercises. maybe you will want to try them out.
I also do sit ups, push ups, thigh master, some weird rope thing, and I can't think of what else I do. bend myself in an L?

I might start doing some yoga too soon to see how that helps.

As always wish me luck, help me out and support me. THanks a bunch!

 

Day 8 on trying to lose weight

Hey all, Halie here again. This is day 8 of being online here trying to lose weight. I am fully convinced my scale is broken as it still says 240 when the doctor's scale says 234.  Evil scale. I know I am getting into better shape today is evident to that.

I did 5 squats, several push ups (demonstrated some for others), several sit ups (also demoed), my leg lifts, only did 20 of each style since I don't want to over work them. And I did the rope thing. once it warms up a bit more I will do the rope thing outside, along with some walking and such. Too late today, but I will be walking tomorrow.

I am working on control of food portions. And others seem interested in joining me. Yay! Just to see if they can do the same as me. everyone I know pretty much want to lose some weight.

With me getting better at sit ups and such I feel that I will be able to reach that size 16 dress in months. :D here's hopeing.


Oh I bought some Japanese soul/rice bowls to help me control portions. I will see what I can do to get better at portion control. I love the Japanese diet as they are super thin people. I want to be thinner so I am going all otaku and adopting some Japanese dishes to help me.

again if you have advice, ideas, or anything that will help me. Please guide and support me. thanks laters!

Day seven attempting to lose weight

Halie here again, Day seven. According to my doctor said I was 10 pounds lighter than I was last year. I like her scale better than mine. However I haven't lost anymore weight.

My friend told me that the excerises I am doing are muscle building. Muscle weighs more than fat so that is why I am not losing weight apparently. I didn't do my leg lifts today since my legs felt all wibbly wobbily. My friend had me come with her to walk around the mall today, a long as hell mall. However I did do my sit ups and push ups, and some arm exercises.

Today I ordered with swagbucks a Japanese soup/rice bowl. I figure it would be perfect cause I think that is portion size so I won't over eat. and when I eat smaller bowls of soup I will feel like I am eating more since it goes up higher in the bowl.

We ordered Chinese today. pretty much that is all I ate today. I ate one 90 calorie bar and 120 calorie sweets. It is cool. I think I got less than 1000 not sure.

sesame chicken and some soup.

Tomorrow my friend wants me to go to the gym with her for 3 to 4 hours, I am a bit scared but happy. Not sure how exercising that long so early will do to me. I might just pass out. I never used a bike or trendmill that long.

as always wish me luck, send stuff to help me out and support me. thanks!

Day five or six on losing weight

Halie again! :P

According to the doctor I lost 10 pounds. Hurray! I was super busy yesterday with a doctor's appointment and such. I even fell in a snow bank. not fun.

I been doing leg ups and such. getting stiff in the hip joints. guess I did too much the day before. I am able to do more reps and such, I just need to keep an eye on how I exercise. Do you guys know any good exercises I can do?

Also I am doing Kellogg codes to get free stuff from the items bought. That way I can make the most of stuff. :D If you have unused ones that you don't want to use, send them to me. thank you.

As always lead and guide me.

Day four on Attempting to lose weight

Hey! Halie is here again. I am trying to lose weight still.  Today is sunday and I was busy and sleepy today. I slept til 11:21. Then ran off to go shopping buying stuff like special k ceral and 90 calorie bars.

I didn't eat much today despite the treck I made today to the corner store for my housemates. However I didn't do it just for them I did it also for  donating old clothes and shoes. so I carried about 50 to 100 pounds to the corner store which is about a quarter mile off.  I brought back an extra 20 pounds of food for my housemates.

I wasn't very hungry today. So today I ate 3 more 90 calorie bars besides the 2 I already mentioned and the spaghetti and meatballs. That is about 700 or 900 calories. I think.  I will eat some fruit soon just to round me out. (the meatballs have veggies in them)

I will do my exercises as well, I just been a bit worn out after climbing up the all that icy snow mountains.

As always please lead and guide me with helping me lose weight.

Day Three of trying to lose weight

Hey, Halie is back.

Today was hard, the weather and the fact that my friend made cocoa cupcakes. I bought celery today so I can use that to suppress my insane hunger. You know so I don't over eat. I must eat normally. I haven't touched candy today.

For valentines day I my friends got me chocolates, a toothbrush, a bracelet and a slippers. So I am going insane since I got so many sweets.

I been insane with working out, yet I have yet to lose weight. Sit ups, push ups, leg lifts, and using the thigh master kinda thing. I so need to lose the weight.

Please mother nature stop it snowing. so I can go jogging.

Also fruit is expensive! Anyone got any ideas on how to get cheap fruit.

Day two

Hey Halie again!

Last night a gal pal wanted to do a work out video. After 10 seconds I knew their "beginner" on the video was far from beginner. I mean 30 minute work outs with no stops for breathers. Seriously? My stamina wasn't enough for those 30 minute work out videos even when I was a size 10. So yeah, they really need to figure out their target audience better. More so if they use technical terms for stuff like Core. That is a work out person's word, not a normal person. Most people don't say  "keep in line with your core" or "hold your core" the only line I know of a normal person with core about themselves is "I ____ to the very core of my being!" and we have no idea where that is!

Moving on. I am not going to cut calories like everyone else in the world. I might reduce but I want long term, not short term so I am just going to make sure I am eating the right number of calories and the right foods. I am also going to do portion control. Cause the stomach is the size of a fist, your fist. So you don't want to shove more than that in there.  This is going to be hard on me since I over eat, and eat fast. Steps I am taking is to eat slower. I don't want to gobble things up in 15 minutes like I been taught to in school. Meaning that if you didn't finish your food in 15 minutes you won't get to eat. I seriously think that school and even work should integrate it so you can take your time to eat and not rush though your meal. otherwise you are just going to get sick and be stuck in a pattern like me where I am said to inhale food.

I am going to eat celery because I do over eat right now and have cravings to eat at random just for the pleasure. Doesn't help that I have an oral fixation and need to bite something sometimes. (don't ask, it's weird. I don't even understand it) So celery would be good as it is pretty much like solid water, but it doesn't hurt your teeth to bite. so many people use it as a way to diet to the extreme. I am merely using it as a tool to help me get on the right track.  It is not the end all save all cure.

Now for sweets, I am hoping to get help from you guys on swagbucks (Halie2004 - my name on there for referrals). That way you guys can help me earn points so I can buy stuff like cocoa almonds and such. which are mostly almonds covered lightly with chocolate powder. would help me get my sweet fix. I am also working on getting nutella. It is good for you. not helpful for losing weight but good for you.

So current goals, eat slower since it takes 15 minutes for your brain to say "I don't need anymore", eat proper portions, drink more water, exercise. anything else?


as always route me on!

Day One on the weight loss jounery

Hi I am Halie!

I am working on losing weight. Like I said in the video I am doing it for my health, for a dress for a friend's wedding, for my own self image of myself. I am 248 depending on the time of day. (has gone up and down 5 pounds though the day. I weighed myself at 2pm ish)

Now, I have reduced my calories, started to do some excercises. And want to get into shape. I kinda have to break habits of sitting on my bed eating chocolate doing swagbucks.com and such. I have to get into a work out routine. So if you have suggestions on what work outs I can do, please let me know.

I also don't eat any meat besides poultry. I can't touch mint of any kind but if you know anything healthy for me to eat, I would love to know about it. Fruit is expensive and I so wish to get it. why is it expensive?

I am a size 20 in pants now. I want to be down to a size 16 for the wedding at least so I can fit into a nice bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding (saw awesome ones on amazon.com)

I plan on joining a gym soon. I just need to find the right gym for me, location and all that gym stuff. And I got to get over my phobia of being seen working out. As a huge reason I don't work out is due to the fact I always feel like people are staring at me working out. (that also means, no work out videos from me. Haha)

So yeah I ask of you all to help me in losing weight. Encourage me, Give me ideas, join swagbucks.com using my swagname (Halie2004) to help me get up points to earn free gift cards so I can buy healthy foods easier, and/or buy stuff from me Trahe Creations to help fund me and my attempts to lose weight and better my life.

Thank you. Whatever you do I will appericate!
