private(recruit) rachel reporting for duty!
 

Hi guys
I'm starting a weight loss 'army' bootcamp and looking for recruits to expand( or rather reduce ;)) my forces. :p Anyone and everyone is invited to join.

The rules of the game are as follows:
for every xxx amount of weight that you lose.
(the amt depends on the amt of total weight you want to lose and the proportion you allocate to each rank)
for example: there are 26 ranks in the military and I have 35Ibs to lose.
so I'm allocating a rank rise for every 3 pounds lost until my first 15Ibs, from which it is a rank rise for every pound lost.

Let us know for every rank rise you reach, everyone has a potential of becomng the chief of the army! ;)

okays...its the 27 May today and I'm officially enlisting for army service today. Private(recruit) rachel reporting for duty SIR!
My list of duties today:
- finish planned homework
- eat healthily.

promotions as follows:
private ( recruit), private, private first class, specialist, corporal, sergeant, sergeant first class, master sergeant, sergeant major, segeant major of the army, warrant officer 1, WO2, WO3, WO4, master WO 5, 2nd lieutenant, 1st lieut, captain, kajor, Lieut colonel, colonel, brigadier general, makor general, lieut general, ARMY CHIEF OF STAFF ( goal achieved!)

I need to lose 38 lbs.. so what would that make me??

Oh Boy. I have over 100 lbs to lose what does that make me? lollllllllllllll. :D Hungry2Live, love your ticker! :)

hehe i have over 100 to lose as well. I have about 130 pounds to lose, so I know i'm a private recruit, and I have to lose 5 pounds to move up the ranks correct? 130 divided by 26 is 5.....AM i right?

me too...
love the money motivation...going to have to think of using that. Money talks...lol

All righty... if I start from today... I'm a private recruit and I gain a rank every four pounds if I just divide it evenly. But it's harder to lose the last few, so maybe I should scale that a bit differently... Hmmm... Okay, I'll do it by 7 pounds for the first 6 ranks, then by 3 pounds for the remaining 20 ranks. It'll mostly work.

My duties for this week include:
-exercise every day
-adding one more veggie per day

-PR Lala

Today will be quite stressedful. I am a bit afraid that I may use food as an emotional outlet. I will and I must resist.

I can do it!

have a good day everyone!

private recruit Rachel reporting for duty sir!

Duties today:
finish case homework
gym class cycling
eat fruits for BF and Lunch. dinner appointment.

Today is going to be a challenge. I've not eaten out with friends since I started my healthy eating plan a week ago. Its strange but when I eat out with friends I eat alot more. I think it has got to do with the fact that I am 'not myself' around people and this gives me stress.

I am going to try to be aware of this 'stress' today and to not overeat at dinner tonight. I'm going to drink lots of water and select a healthy dish at dinner.

Ate alot yesterday. much much more that the previous days. I am not going to have a guilt-trip over it though. I am just going to compensate by eating just fruits for 2 meals today. I am not going to give in to my 'since I've blew it yesterday...I might as well blow it totally'. I am not going to give in to my 'all of nothing' bad habit. I am going to try to be moderate in my attitude towards eating. So if I overeat today, I will make it up by eating less and more healthily the next day.

Lots of hugs and kisses for everyone.

:hug:

Centrestage, I just wanted to send you a hug :hug: and some cheers. :cheer: :cheer: You're doing so well... keep it up!!
BTW, I can relate to not being yourself around others. :yes: I hope dinner last night wasn't too stressful for you.

Okie dokie, I went a little AWOL... I haven't binged or gained, though, just stayed the same old 254. My commitment earlier was to exercise every day and add an extra veggie. Well, I at least got the extra veggie in! Still no exercising. However, it's a brand new week, the past is done and I am moving on...

Goals for week 6/5/06:
- have a veggie w/lunch and dinner
- portion control (again!)
- exercise every day

PR Lala

hello fellow recruit dalai lala and ellis

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I definitely ate more than what I should have yesterday but it wasn't my usually 'all out binge' so I am satisfied with what I did yesterday.

trying not to have a guilt trip over it. It's lots of fruits and vegetables today to make up for yesterday's yummy but definite over indulgence.

duties for today:
-finish 2 lectures and HW
-stretching
- healthy eating.

the journey is long, but we will get there even if it is baby steps!

:hug:

today's wasn't too good. I didnt finish any of my duties.
Didn't go to the gym.
Didn't eat healthily and
didn't finish my exercise.

I have to buck up tomorrow.

Don't give up. Slow and steady. perservere.

private recruit rachel reporting for duty sir!

Feeling a bit down and unmotivated but I will keep my spirits up and remind myself that baby steps at a time is still moving forward.

Duties for today:
cycling class at gym
chapter 705
read notes for tomorrow

slow and steady

private recruit rachel reporting for duty sir!

Duties today:
-print notes
- finish old notes
-gym
-eat healthily

Yesterday was pretty good. I ate more than what I had planned, but frankly I think that I my 'plan' was a bit too restrictive so I'm not going to feel like I failed...cos I didn't ;)

tough day ahead....every morning is tough....but I'll work at it!

together we stand
:p

private recruit rachel didn't do so well today. Didn't finish my tasks. Ate way too much. Why is that so? I was so conscious of the food in my mouth and I concentrated on my meal, yet I still had to go on eating and eating.

Quite disappointed with myself. I am already setting myself up for failure by 'feeling' that I am going to fall off again tomorrow.

I have to work at getting rid of that negative feeling. I may take 2 steps back today, but taking a step forward tomorrow or even just staying status quo is WAY BETTER than taking a further 2 steps backs.

Don't berate youself. PIck yourself up.

Duties for tomorrow:
- finish homework
- revision
- eat healthily

the best thing you can give yourself is 'never say die'

Okay, new week, new plan, finally doing better! For this week I committed to exercising every day, portion control, and 2 veggies a day. So far I am two for two (days in a row, that is...)

Tomorrow is my official weigh in day, but I don't expect that I'll be any lower than the same old 254 yet. I was 255 this morning, and will hopefully get that 254 back tomorrow. Still just PFC Lala... I expect I'll have that rank for a while! :o

Don't worry Rachel, one bad day doesn't ruin the whole thing! Believe me, I have had loads of "one bad days" and I'm still plugging along. If I survived these past two weeks you can get through this! :hug:

-Lala

a slightly tired private recruit rachel reporting for duty sir!

tough day ahead. Not feeling too positive and rather discouraged. But well, I will have to deal to it. =)

I shan't be too hard on myself today.
duties for today:
- lots of fruits
- gym
- no binges
- POSITIVE thinking!

slow and steady girlie!

one bad day doesn't = perpetual bad days. you can stop the cycle.

private recruit rachel reporting for duty sir!

tough day ahead. Sprained my ankle and it is making me binge.
Ate loads yesterday and the feeling of defeat is making me want to throw in the towel. But I mustn't. Because though I took a step backwards yesterday, I dont have to self destruct and take more steps backwards. That will only mean that I will have to work even harder to get myself out of the hole that I dug myself. Got to think logically. Got to think rationally. Got to get mysef out of my self-imposed prision. think prison break. wenthworth miller. hottie. ( haha...sorry making sense...it's the urge to binge, the urgent desire to stuff food down my throat that is making me all loopy. it's the withdrawal symptoms ;))

I can't believe that I am a druggie. I told myself that i would never smoke, I would not overdrink, I won't take drugs.....but it's obvious that I am an addict. It's hard to admit to it. Addict makes me think of 'loss of control, 'irrational', but I guess I am 1. The withdrawal symptoms are making me go crazy......

duties for today:
-finish yesterday's notes. Complete this chapter of work.
-pack and clean up my room
- no bingeing
- relax, relax, relax

loopy doopey signing off sir!

after taking a few days of unpaid leave, I'm back.

The past few days have been quite disasterous. I frankly think that i am gained back everything that I might have lost and more.

But i'm still going to fight. Less enthusiastic than before but I am going to try again.

Duties for tonight:
- no more food
- finish homework revision.

'stop wallowing in self-pity'
'it ain't over till its over'
