Alyssa's Diary - 'The Playboy Diet'

[alyssa-jane]

Hi everyone!! Im new here, my names Alyssa and Im trying to drop from a size 10 to a size 8. (: Ive just started going to the gym about a month ago so Im trying to do weights twice a week and 45-60mins cardio 4-5 times a week as well as trying to eat better. I don't really have a weight goal. My main goal is to get to a size 8 because I want to have some 'photos' taken to give to my boyfriend for christmas and also because I want to test for Playboy. (:
I recently found my stats from August 09... Ive been yoyo-ing since then so Ive finally found something I can stick to. So here's my stats from Aug 09 and my current ones from June 10.

hi! alyssa is alexandra88
how are you going?
my thread is under the "almost there" forum
im going pretty well with my diet and exercise. you should look up womenshealthmag.com for some great weight workouts. i really cant stress enough how weights help you loose weight! i would definatley not loose 1-2kg per week without them!
look forward to talking to you. yay, a forum that isnt dead!

[alyssa-jane]

yeh i had the trainer put together a weights program for me but im not losing any weight. i can def feel my muscles getting more toned though. maybe i just need 2 give it more time. but i did get a pair of size 8 jeans up the other day...! lol. couldnt do up the buttons and they were a bit tight but thats progress! howve you been going? x

[loveyourself]

yeah you may need to give it longer. everyone is different and if a trainer did it up for you im sure its right.
ive been going well too. i have 7 weeks before i go away so i aim to loose those 7kg. its more about being toned, slim and fit though. i def want to be a size 8 by then!
congrats on the jeans thats definatley progress!
keep at it and im here for ya!

glad to see you back!
you seem to be going great! few slip ups, but that happens

what weight do you want to be?
and what are the actual measurements of a size 8?

[alyssa-jane]

yeh i figured theyre going to happen. no point stressing too much about them. i dont really have a goal weight... i dont really mind how much i weigh i want to just tone up and lose some inches/cms (: im not sure what the measurements are for a size 8. i read an article in womens health (i think?) recently that said its hard to say because there's no standards for sizes in australia. :\ but i did find this link online which could be a good estimate lol if your hips measurements are off you prob did what i did and measured where your pants sit but you actually measure the widest part around your bum (: so atm im a hips 38 and a size 8 is a hips 36... hope that helped a bit!

[loveyourself]

yeah im the same. my goal weight is 55-56kg because thats where i think i would be slim and toned.
thanks for the link! its good when they not only tell you the measurements, but also how much to measure!

Where are the vegetables?

[alyssa-jane]

im back from a few days away (: going to start getting back into a routine tomorrow... going to the gym and eating right. ive had a really bad mouth ulcer so i havent been eating good foods coz i cnt chew lol. i'v decided im going to get a stripper pole for my lounge room, might be an easy way to burn some calories without feeing like im exercising.

oh & im not really big on veggies. i mostly have them with dinners but only usually have like potato/sweet potato, corn, carrots, peas etc. haha
