to all former fat girls

[serendipity02]

guys, i am having a hard time maintaining my weight loss

[ChefKrissie]

sali ako

my former weight is 180lbs nag down ako 150 lbs but after 1 1/2 months nag gain ako ng uli ng 14lbs because of holiday and mali pala yung ginagawa kong diet. I was starving myself and over fatigue na pala ako. kaya nung medyo nag napahinto ako sa gym bigla ang pag gain ko. now what i do is, i eat everything in moderation. i still drink soft drinks or eat caskes bt once a week lang, pag lunch i eat rice, then after 7pm i dont eat anything na. pag nagutom i drink 1 glass of warm non fat milk with tsp honey. then this comeing may 30 i'll be joining a fun run. so parang nagkaroon ako ng goal, 4 times a week tumatakbo ako sa gym.
for almost 1 month. from my previous weight 164 i was able to lose 7 lbs. and im still losing some more pounds

Grabe!!!  Kakainggit!

I was really obese dati.  At my heaviest nung college, I weighed 160!  E 5'0 ako, so mukha talaga akong bola.  hehe!   

When I finally decided that I had enough, I stopped eating rice, sweets, started exercising at home, after 6 diet todo!  My lowest in college was 130lbs.  That was after a year of dieting.

Plateau weight ko na sya, tapos I graduated form college and got a job.  Dun talaga nagloose ako without even trying!  Kasi sobrang hectic ng work.  My lowest that time was 118.  After 6 months of work lang yun a!

E because of the lifestyle nga, nagkasakit ako so now 6 years later, I weigh 140 again.  Huhuhuh!  Trying to do it right again.  Good luck to all of us!   

[hapi_prego]

sana someday I can post here dito, im a yoyo diet, so hard, hard in a way that dahil sa pregnancy ang pagtaba ko though chubby na talaga ako dalaga palang  and not to mention cs, repeat CS pa ako 

when I got pregnant sa eldest ko, im 129lbs that time max is is when I was about to gave birth 154lbs, then after 1 year mas mababa na sa pre-preg weight yung timbang ko, I was 121lbs kaso I got preggo nanaman max ulit is 154lbs, now im in the process na nagpapayat ulit, it's been almost 10 mos na, sana pumayat na ulit ako mas mababa pa sa pre-preg weight ko

[super bratinella]

^Sis, when I was pregnant on my 9th month, I reached 160lbs, then nung nanganak ako stable sa 129lbs payat na ang weight ko na yun, then I realized I am not comfortable anymore so I had my target weight of 108lbs which is my pre preg weight.

I am now 107lbs. ok na ang weight ko hindi ako mahilig mag exercise pero I walk a lot every morning. I just don't eat rice for over a year, without soda and junk foods, ngayon tinanggal ko na rin ang coffee.

[big_fat_fiona04]

Pa-join din  Ive been thin as a child pero nugn elem days ko napabayaan sa kusina so lumobo talaga ng husto. Prolly my heaviest was in 1st year college, 180 lbs. Tapos nung 4th yr college na, i recall having this hectic week where i got too busy to eat as much as the usual and when i weighed, i lost a couple o pounds. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, what the heck tuloy tuloy ko na so ayun i started eating considerably less and doin regular exercises such that in graduation day, i was already down to 105 lbs (5'1 height ko). take note, i never kept track of my weight while i was dropping, ayoko kasing madisappoint if ever i wasnt losing as fast as i wished pero it sure felt great those times when you realise your pants or your blouses are too lose na.  Pero ngayon na im on grad studies na, wala nang oras mag exercise and i developed a habit of stress eating. So eto, bola na naman. I think im about 120+ lbs na ngayon at mega effort ulit magpapayat. Hays ang hirap magpa-sexy 

[lilstar]

Ayoko na sanang alalahanin pa..

Chubby na talaga ako since college, I was 52kgs., 5'3". Feeling ko ang ataba ko na nun ah. After giving birth on 2006 I was nearly 70kgs na, I decided to loose weight kasi mga workmates ko noon e ang sesexy.. and bata pa ako nun.. I went down to 54kgs. ok na ok ako nito, but i looked so thin daw. I didn't eat rice and suicidal diet talaga for 1 year.

Eto na,, sabi ng helper namin sobrang payat ko na daw, itigil ko na daw ang pagpapayat.. When I started eating rice again, ayun lumakas na naman ang appetite ko.. Now, 58kgs nako and gaining more.., Ang hirap magpapayat especially if home maker ka. I love cooking for my family, masyado ngang ironic na I will cook for them tapos di ko sila sasaluhan. Its really hard... Di ko alam kelan ako makakahanp ng tyempo magpapayat.   

I tried taking reductil nga, pricey pero very effective., ang prob lang dito pag nag stop ka , babalik ang na-loose mo kasi super babalik ang appetite mo. so so so hard magapapayat.., ang sarap kasi kumain.

mga sis ang suggestion ko talaga is don't try fad diets or take diet pills. best talaga is to eat everything in moderation and exercise. eto talaga ang best formula in losing weight and staying healthy. ako nga i eat everything pa rin as in chocolates, cakes, pork, sinful foods and rice! pero dahil sa i exercise regularly, na-lolose ko rin and ang advantage pa e bumilis metabolism ko. naalala ko lang yung advise nung isang trainer for spinning classes, anything you eat within 30 minutes after an intense cardio workout (say one hour of cardio) would be meaningless. you can eat whatever you want kase your metabolism is at its peak and everything you eat gets burned immediately. mukhang totoo naman kase after every 10km run ko, lamon kung lamon talaga pero parang walang effect. hehe...basta mga sis gumalaw kayo!

[big_fat_fiona04]

^true yung diet pills and crash diets. Ito yung ginawa ko dati ang when i stopped, sobrang bilis talaga ng pagbalik ng former eating habits ko. What i lost in 6 months i gained back in a few weeks time... Ah so sis meaning its better to eat AFTER, NOT BEFORE, workouts? Youll burn the food faster?

[diyosa]

^hmm...sis i think yung sinabi ng trainer namin is basta kahit anong ikain mo within 30mins after ng workout walang bearing yun. pero ako i eat 2 hours before any exercise para may lakas.

[big_fat_fiona04]

Ah okay sis. Ako kasi takot kumain even immediately after a workout coz ive long had this notion na babalik yung na-burn ko. hehe. Thanks much for the info 

[mooncake and leaves]

former super fat girl. 160lbs ata ako noon when i dropped to 110 then yung pinakapayat ko 102. grabe yun. it was unhealthy. di ko marerecommend yung ginawa ko kasi mali talaga.

now chubby ulit ako. sarap kumain eh wee. pero di na kasing-grabe nung super fat days ko. and diet mode ulit ako.

bukas. lol.

[wild_berries]

I'm on my 3rd day of self-torture. LOL
I started with 160.6 pounds / 73 kilos. 

Here's my regimen so far and I'll update you guys.  It's a mix of everything. I'm just taking myself casually.

Every Morning when I wake up
Coffee with non-fat milk and no sugar (it's bitter but I need my coffee LOL by doing this I just took out a heaping spoonful of sugar out of my daily intake)

Before I leave the house after bumaba na yung coffee and I peed a lot already LOL
MasterCleanse recipe (half a lemon with 1-2tablespoon of honey or maple syrup with a pinch of cayenne pepper)

Lunch
Anything healthy (Salmon w/wheat bread, cereal or salad basta kung anong meron na healthy)

Paguwi sa hapon
Mastercleanse recipe ulet

Dinner
3-5 spoons of rice or pasta
Whatever ulam

+Lots of water throughout the day
+total of at least 3 teabags of peppermint tea /day
+NO diet pills
+fruit juice every now and then(i.e. apple, orange etc)
+I make sure I still eat a lil' solid food so kahit half-detox/half-diet yung ginagawa ko I wouldn't bounce back (kasi yung sa mga detox where all they do is drink Mastercleanse or tea all day and nothing else sabi pagtapos daw they regain it after)
+No chocolate(unless it's dark), no chips, NO SODA(I dont drink soda anyways)....whenever I crave for chocolate or chips or naiingget ako sa boyfriend ng sister ko(I live-in with them), I just grab a few pieces or chips or 1 chocolate, slowly eat it and satisfy the craving.


I don't feel hungry but my stomach growls every now and then. Even in class. LOL

[wild_berries]

Hay I just got home and took my weight I lost a solid kilo in 3 days.  ^_^ IDK if that's just a lot of water but I still drink a lot of liquid so hopefully not.

Also, today I was about to eat lunch and then everything just turned me off.  I literally mean looking at food and not wanting to eat them (WOW I'm surprised at my loss of appetite given super takaw ako before) and just ended up having a "Liquid Breakfast" from the shake shop in the food court (blended of Banana, strawberry, non-fat milk, muesli, honey and another fiber I forgot which LOL)

Kahit wala nakong appetite I told myself I need to eat something kahit it's just a drink basta may solids.  LOL natakot ako maging starvation dieter.

I think the loss of appetite part of dieting is basically just about getting over the first few day or two of hunger...after that you're on a good jump start.

Also, I realize, that it's good to tell the people you're around with that you're dieting.  Before in the Phillippines(I'm in Sydney now temporarily living with my sister) I was living with such a big family with huge appetites and I guess medyo hiya ako magsabi ng "diet ako e" and ending up not going through it.  Here my sister just asked me what I wanted for dinner and I impulsively blurted out na magdidiet nako.  After that no one prods on "U-oy, bat yan lang kinakain mo?!?!"  LOL

[aNgelofThEMorning]

wow a kilo in 3 days! hinde ba delikado yan? sudden weight loss?

[wild_berries]

I'm not sure...maybe because I'm too overweight that the first few kilos sheds off easily then babagal in the long run yung weight loss? Not sure. :p

[hanson15]

Hi mga sis, Pano mag loose ng body fat? Kasi as far as i know. Iba ang body fat sa weight loss. Cardio training, strength training and diet ba?. Pero kasi nababawasan din ako ng weight which is ok naman. I want to be lean kasi. Kahit muscles lang wag lang fat. hehe

[bebeloo]

almost got 70 kilos in mid senior year high then when i entered college, i was 50 kilos na lang..

ngayon, i am on my 1st year and 2 months of working.. 55 kilos (120lbs)..i stand 5'5

what did i do?

1) naadik sa telebabad with my female friend, discussing her love dilemmas..di na ko nakakakain and never felt starving
2) when i noticed na pumapayat ako dahil sa #1, sinabayan ko na ng totoong diet.. I decreased my food intake.. naalala ko pa dati, isang pandesal lang kinakain ko sa isang araw.. (I thnik God really helped me to lose weight kasi hindi ako nakakramdam ng gutom, at pag kumakain ako kahit isang pandesal lang, i feel full talaga..) <-- di ko talaga maimagine to kahit ngayon, kung paano ko 'to nagawa dati.
3) nung magttransfer ako ng school, nabakante ako ng 2 months.. i woke up 6am para magaerobics sa tv (yung sa solar sports), after nun, magbike ako ng 30 mins, non-stop. in the afternoon, magffreestyle dancing ako sa bahay for an hour, do sit-ups 100x/day, jumping rope 50x
4) di ako kumakain ng egg yolk, white bread, at rice.. di na rin ako nagssoftdrinks (until now)
5) that time, ang tagal kong di nakakain sa labas (malls)
6) got rid of fatty preservative foods (fave ko dati ang lechon, ngayon nandidiri na ko sa lechon haha)

all throughout this course, napagaralan kong tumigil kumain kapag nakaramdam na ko ng kabusugan.. dati kasi hanggat may food at masarap siya, di ko siya titigilan til maubos.

ngayon, ang ginagawa ko:

1) i attend zumba/kickboxing classes
2) i eat fruits or salad, and yogurt during my lunch. i only eat rice in the morning and weekdays lang
3) water lang talaga ang drink ko, i don't drink iced tea na rin
4) i eat whole wheat crackers and oatmeal during merienda

changes happened:
1. i am able to do cross legs, unlike before
2. pag tinutulak yung chair which i sit on, nauusog na siya. hahaha
3. nakakapagshop na ko ng damit sa mga magagandang boutiques kasi may size na ko.
4. i can wear shorts, sleeveless na pag inobserve mo ang mga tao, parang hindi mapang-okray ang look nila.meaning bagay naman saken.
5. wala nang tumutkso sken ng baboy, taba, balyena, jurassic, dambuhala, elepante, etc.
6. may mga nagkacrush na sken when i was in college, mga nagpaparamdam hahaha (which is so new to me, since before wala namang nagaattempt hahaha)
7. may nararamdaman na kong buto sa katawan ko
8. may mga nakakabuhat na saken
9. hindi na hirap ang sidecar pag ako yung sakay

kaya ngayon, minamaintain ko siya.. super life-changing talaga..and i admit, takot akong bumalik sa dati kaya forever on a diet ako hehe health-conscious na ako ngayon..
