buttercreambunny's Journal, 16 August 2014

I don't normally record journal entries, but I'm hoping that it might help. Quite a small goal, for me, but I want to lose 6 pounds before I restart my uni classes, taking me to 65kg. Ultimately, I'd like to reach 60kg, but this seems damn near impossible for me, and my body really likes 65, so let's be reasonable and pick an attainable result. So that gives me about 50 days to lose, and maintain, 2.8kg. I've been feeling extremely under the weather for about 4 months now, but exercise and good diet do help it a bit. I'm getting back into weight training, after a disastrous attempt at hot yoga, so I hope that will boost my fat loss and muscle gain. In the end, losing 6 pounds should mean a much leaner look. I don't have that high a body fat percentage (about 18% at 65kg), so that weight loss should mean a large fat loss, compensated by muscle gain. It seems a lot more difficult to do when you put it like that! Anyway, I just need to make sure my calorie intake isn't too low, and I avoid alcohol and sugar as much as possible.

Good luck!

Recording a journal every day has helped to make a big difference for me. I often find that I write more about daily activities and feelings more than my diet but I guess that's what it's all about. Good luck- looks like you've already made great progress! Keep it up!!

Good for you taking this step and welcome to journaling. I have been over-weight for so long and it wasn't until I started journaling, talking to others, tracking my food on this site that I actually lost weight. This has been revolutionary for me and I hope it is for you! Good luck!
