I'm quite proud of myself - which is rare

Posted by Gagsy - January 25th, 2012

I've lost 5 pounds this week. And if you're a fellow Brit no that isn't a money joke.

Not doing anything stupid either. I'm just eating sensibly and exercising more regularly. My mood has generally improved as well. I don't feel so tired and moody. I feel pretty good at this moment and I hope to continue this. Though I know I won't lose that kind of weight each week. I have an incentive to though and while I have a long old battle ahead of me, it's the first time I've felt like I can actually do something about it. Properly.

Wish me luck or wish me failure or wish me nothing :(

Everyone's weight fluctuates by 5 pounds every day. It depends when and how they eat, drink or use the toilet.

Gagsy 2012-01-25 03:05:09

From the time I weighted myself last week to the time I did last night my stomach contents was much the same as were the clothes I was wearing. I can't recall how often I urinated or cleared my bowels each time.

This is why you take measurements too - waist, bust, thighs - that truly shows the progress if any is being made. ^_^

i wish you determination, all it takes is heart and willpower williwowzapower

Gagsy 2012-01-25 11:43:31

Oh god I wish I had some williwowzapower. I'd be fucking awesome then.

BananasFoster 2012-01-25 13:04:29

Good luck Gagsy -- I too am trying to keep my weight in check, simply so that I can fit into clothes I used to fit in and not have to spend money buying more (also for health benefits too).

It's good you're feeling well about it, and that the exercise is improving your mood. I find walking very comforting and light (I'm an awkward runner), and it always makes me feel really good to listen to music while doing so. Keep at it and good luck!

Gagsy 2012-01-25 13:04:29

Yeah I should walk more. My dog enjoys it obviously and I do love letting her enjoy herself. I just get bored of it to be honest. There seem to be only so many places you can walk around my area that doesn't involve big hills (hate them) and so I get fed up walking the same places. But I got to and its nice especially with the weather bad. So its just me and my wet dog rooming the streets and park. And yes music helps there a lot :)

I'm also going to get back into swimming. I was doing well before, but then stopped because I came on, then after that week I got a cold. Then 2 weeks off and I just had no get up and go really. So I'm going to try at least once a week - a friday, starting tomorrow and see if I can get into a routine again.

Thanks and good luck yourself!

Can I wish you a moose?

I got pretty lucky with my genes, it's pretty impossible for me to gain any sort of weight, no matter how much I eat or don't exercise.

Gagsy 2012-01-25 17:29:12

I would love a moose :D

And boo. I've always been unlucky in that respect. Never been a terrible eater if I'm honest. I just always sucked at the active thing and everything seems to stick to me. But oh well. Thats life.

hecticjon 2012-01-25 22:12:36

hey go for a full stone

Gagsy 2012-01-25 22:12:36

Going to try.

Squidbit 2012-01-26 04:13:26

I'm a terrible eater, my diet consists of chips, burritos, hot dogs, and raviolis. And soda for drinks.
Plus I just sit in front of the computer all day every day. Like I literally do nothing else aside from when I go over to my friends house, but then I just sit around over there all day, doing nothing.

I'd like to gain some weight, just be average rather than fucking skinny as shit, but I'm not too worried about it.

Although, I kind of have a feeling I'm gonna get clogged arteries and shit, and have a heart attack or something, but never see it coming cause I'm so skinny.

Gagsy 2012-01-26 04:13:26

There are ways to bulk up. Go see your doctor about it, I think they have nutrients and shit for that. But still you're lucky to not have to worry so much about what you eat. You're right though to want to be a bit more careful. Just in case.

Squidbit 2012-01-26 05:02:48

I've probably made a pretty similar post, but I didn't copy/paste that

Gagsy 2012-01-26 05:02:48

I don't know, I think Light caught you out now >:C

Mizzjuicyflava 2012-01-26 13:24:03

Well the good thing is that you are getting healthy. I've been doing the weight lose thing for the past two years. I have lost a major amount. You are right, its a long battle, but you can win it! Congrats on losing the 5 lbs. Im proud of ya!

Gagsy 2012-01-26 13:24:03 (Updated 2012-01-27 10:03:54)

Thanks so much and well done yourself! Thats really impressive :) Hope you keep maintaining the weight off.

tehslaphappy 2012-01-26 15:49:25

I love you.

Also, working out and all that other lame stuff really does make you feel better about yourself. I didn't believe it at first, but when I did it I felt a lot better about myself.

I should get back on that.

Gagsy 2012-01-26 15:49:25

You, I love.

I'm happy to hear that Chris. You should be happy and if working out helps you achieve that then awesome! :)

<3 more

Lintire 2012-01-26 16:39:53

'gratz. i hope this means you won't die of heart failure. that'd suck.

Gagsy 2012-01-26 16:39:53

I tend to believe that dying any kind of way sucks.

Jolly 2012-01-26 19:57:38

I kind of would like to weigh more. Like 200+ pounds more than what I currently weigh. (130) I read about this guy today that was like 300 something pounds and he was at this party and got into an argument or something so the guy stabbed him in the back 12 and he didn't even feel it and it didn't effect him at all. All it did is go through a little bit of tissue. That's like a super power, of sorts. I want to be stab proof.

Good luck on your weight loss.

Gagsy 2012-01-26 19:57:38

He just sounds really lucky, or was stabbed by like the smallest blade ever.

Thanks though!

BananasFoster 2012-01-26 21:44:14

That's funny, I actually swim a lot during the summer. I think that - along with walking and biking - is my favorite form of exercise.

Thanks by the way. I'm not terribly overweight (according to my BMI I'm in 'average' range still), I just am extremely out of shape and feel like a turd sometimes, so I want to get in shape and fit into old clothes that haven't fit me in years.

I enjoy making small goals for myself, like two or three lbs every one or two weeks. That's the easiest way to lose and keep off.

Gagsy 2012-01-26 21:44:14

I still cannot ride a bike :( My parents never taught me to as a kid and the one time I tried when I was like 13 I just couldn't get it. Maybe one day.

Fitting into old clothes is a great feeling. I like when you hear about women who get back into shape for blessings just so they can fit into their original wedding dresses. Thats pretty wonderful.

Thanks again for the nice comment.

WiiFittoToreinaa 2012-01-26 22:50:29

you should work on your booty :D

Gagsy 2012-01-26 22:50:29

I should work on my booty calls :(

Squidbit 2012-01-27 03:09:28

You should totally work on your booty and post lots of pictures.

Gagsy 2012-01-27 03:09:28

Like I need to become more of the obnoxious internet stereotype of a girl :(

Squidbit 2012-01-27 22:14:43

But Jedi-Master's got the herples :(

Gagsy 2012-01-27 22:14:43

I got a letter in the post yesterday about getting tested for chlamydia. I threw it away bitterly thinking that I need to be having sex to get myself some stds.

sourcola 2012-01-28 03:32:16

Congratulations on your weight loss, Gagsy.

Just out of curiosity, how much do you weigh and how tall are you?

Gagsy 2012-01-28 03:32:16

Too much and not enough.

Squidbit 2012-01-28 04:42:45

Jedi-Master was Gagsy before she got her name changed or something, idk.

Gagsy 2012-01-28 04:42:45

I once changed my alias to EverydayCombat.

JellyTea 2012-01-28 05:09:38

Gagsy is a lovely lady.

Gagsy 2012-01-28 05:09:38

I don't know sometimes but thank you if you're serious.

MuyBurrito 2012-01-29 00:38:55

Gagsy 2012-01-29 00:38:55

I get it.

MuyBurrito 2012-01-29 00:39:42

Gagsy 2012-01-29 00:39:42

I can't run. I would literally have a heart attack or not and I just hate it so damn much. I walk, I'm swimming again. I can't run right now.
