I blogged about my weight loss a few months ago, but in a nutshell....
- Regular exercise (both at the gym and at home)
- Got rid of junk food and sugary drinks from my diet
- Cut down my portions at meals
- Stopped unnecessary snacking

I realized I don't have too many pictures from my chubby student days; I was purposely avoiding being photographed. It also affected my self-esteem in that I never went out on beach weekends with my skinny friends...I was too afraid of wearing a bathing suit around them. Now, I like shopping for bikinis. (I still don't like the beach, though, but at least I go out on beach weekends every now and then.)

I also got a sudden interest in fashion when I lost weight. Back when I was chubby, I never cared about what I would wear. That, in turn, seemed to project confidence, and I would now often get compliments for it.

Victoria, hindi ka nagka stretchmarks from losing weight? good job sis! idol kita.

[V_for_Victoria]

^ I do! That's why when I had my physical exam recently, the doctor asked me (after I'd told her I'd never gotten pregnant), "Whoa. You lost A LOT of weight, didn't you?" after she saw the stretch marks at the back of my thighs and legs.

Thanks, mga sis. Honestly, if I can do it, anyone can. I'm still one of the most tamad people I know, haha. Carry na lang!

Ako just lost a couple of inches. Same rin with another sis here, more confident and I felt good because I can fit into clothes better as well.

[lorelie78n]

i used to eat 1 bag of lay's chips + 1 L of coke every time i felt i need to eat one.......yun ang una ko tinangal.....no chips kahit ano pang chips kahit vegetarian daw, no soda, no ice tea, no juice.....pero ngayon i drink minute maid....use it together with psyllium fiber

no pizza, not much pasta, yung 2-3 servings of rice (as in heaping ha) naging 1 cup na lang 2x/day.

gym everyday, 7x/week......

may cheat day rin ako......pero the key is not to deprieve yourself or else may point sa body mo wherein you will crave tapos you wont have the strength to fight it off....i should know i use to weigh between 115-120 back when i was still dancing semi-pro....after college had to stop and work na dun ako nagsimula lumaki.....pag nag 125 na ako i will use diet pills only after 6 months of not taking the drug 2x na linaki ko (lahat ng diet pills na try ko na kaya i really am not encouraging people to use it).  Tapos may kalokohan pa ako na starvation diet.....ayun lobo pa rin.....so from 120 naging 150 na ako....from there di ko na kinaya....bumagal na metabolism ko til i naging 250 na ako

nice diet

[twinkletown]

im still a work in progress (i hope so...)

sa ngayon nasa plateau ang weight ko at long way to go pa ako before i even reach my goal weight.

since birth ata ng pagiging mataba/chubby ko. actually, yo-yo diet ako before at once i lost some weight, after a while, i gained it twice pa sa na lost ko...

so now, im changing my lifestyle bit by bit. last feb, i weighed at around 170lbs, now (as of august 25, 2009) im 152lbs na lang. havent got my new measurements yet, pero nagagamit ko na ngayon yung mga pants and skirt na hindi kasya sa akin before.

what i did was to cut back on bad food meaning sodas, junk foods, salty foods, fatty foods and all. i even cut back on rice. drinks liters of water a day. more of fruits and veggies. i try to exercise as much as possible, whenever i can.

personally, my self-esteem was not really affected because im chubby, ive accepted naman na ganito talaga ang issues ko sa katawan. at an early age, i was able to learn how to embrace my issues kaya happy naman ako. i just wanted to take my weight loss seriously not really for aesthetic purposes but for health reasons na din...aba gusto ko pa tumanda at makita ang mga magiging apo ko noh. bonus na lang yung sexy..LOL

[tough_chic]

"revenge" (motivation to be hot)

i likey. hehe.. ako naman i'm not fat. but i have balakang. plus i'm 5 flat so i appear chunky. last time i checked i'm 100 lbs. but i dont feel good about my body. i have love handles and my thighs are not toned.

atat na atat ako ngayon mag-work out at mag-detoxify.kelangan ko pa sanayin sarili ko to eat lots of fruits. veggies? medyo mahirap. karne girl kasi ako hehe.

[blushydamsel]

ako i weigh 95lbs and i'm 5 feet tall lang... last weigh ko 98lbs!!! grabe! panic ako.

gusto ko maging 90lbs lang ako. nagstart ako mag taebo sa house, tapos i go to the gym once in a while, cardio lang. half rice nalang palagi, tapos d na eat sa gabi, minsan bread lang.

hay..i want to lose more weight!
