My College Dieting: Week 4 Day 3
Hey!
Today was a great day. Not only did my boyfriend confess he has noticed I lost weight (8 pounds to be exact), he is joining me in my weight loss journey! When I first started my diet, he was not supportive. He said “You won’t stick with it.” and thought it was stupid. I was nice to hear that I proved him wrong. He was so inspired by my weight loss he is joining a gym...

My College Dieting: Week 4 Day 1
Hi everyone,
Starting out my fourth week I have lost 10 pounds. I started to exercise this past week. Diet can only get you so far, now I am running. Hopefully it will get me to my goal! I have noticed I need to buy groceries more often, but when I thought about it $50 a week is a lot less compared to eating out all the time.
So far I haven’t been missing my old eating habits, but it has...

My College Dieting: Week 3 Day 4
So last night was a pretty ruff night for me. Someone, who at one time I considered a close friend, insinuated I was fat to my face. He was making light of my weight in front a group of our friends. I know that this person made this comment to be vindictive and it really hurt my feelings.
But after sleeping on it, I realized this will be more motivation! Not because I feel bad about my weight,...

My College Dieting: Week 3 Day 3
Hey everyone!
Great news I have been on my 1300 calorie diet and I have lost 5 POUNDS. So now I am at 165 and 25 pounds away from my goal weight. This weekend I went out to eat several times. This was hard for me because most restaurants do not cater to dieter’s needs. One restaurant I went to I asked for hard boiled eggs and the waitress said they didn’t have it on the menu and then...

My College Dieting: Week 3 Day 1
As promised I will discuss drinking and dieting. As college students we tend to participate in social activity, that tends to involve alcohol. The trick is to drink in moderation. If you are going out every night of the week, this whole diet thing will not work!!
Here is a list of common drinks calorie count (this really put things in perspective for me!)

My College Dieting: Week 2 Day 3
Today was a little hectic, I was very busy with classes and internships.Today I had to eat on the go. While dieting this can be where people resort to fast food. I knew I was going to have a very busy day so I prepared my lunch, and dinner ahead of time. I made:
Turkey Sandwich: 3 oz turkey, lettuce, tomato, onion, no dressing. a cup of low fat yogurt and an apple. (all of which I ate in my car)

My College Dieting: Week 2 Day 2
Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone,
So today I must confess I cheated on my diet. My boyfriend made me dinner for Valentine’s day and it was pot roast. I made myself a big plate and found out it was close to 600 calories! To make matters worst he also gave me candy. I will allow myself to have candy on my diet, but in moderation.
Even though today was a slight set back, I will still...

I am hoping this blog will...
