Yeah I did not mean to come off too strong on the support, I just know how I get when I am down. I think to a certain extent we have all been doing this on our own, yes we're here to support each other, but everyone has their own determination and choices to make. And really you have been an inspiration to me.

Hi KEviiiiii

Must go now...that last bit of ice cream was so cold and my teeth and jaw are hurting lol.

I know what you mean. Determination I need more than ever. Sometimes I guess peeps sabotage, or want you to fail. And I need to ignore them and move on. And thats all I can do. My mother tried to feed me yogurts after supper, I ate like three or four last night, but not again. I need to like tell her only to buy one or two at a time, and not like ten, but she knows I completly hord them down. But guess what.. out of site, out of mind. I am going to put them on the bottom shelf behind everything. I am extremely forgetful, so I won't touch them, unless I remember hmm sounds good..

but thanks hun
Your an inspiration to me. The way you keep trecking...

thanks so much

love yas

Hey Kevi,
My mom used to offer junk food up to. lol but I just stay away from it, except for the lovely lattes, but I haven't had one of those for a month. Man could I go for one!! lmao

but anyway ...the reason my tummy is making so much noises, is because I overfilled, it ..it has expanded more and it hurts like hell lol

but I am going to unexpand it lol jk .. I am going to make it smaller once again, by resisting temptation and reaching inside me and bringing forth all the strength I can to not let my mother do what she is doing to me, or let it affect me ..as it does.

Hey guys!!!

Sorry I haven't been around. It was my half of the week with my kido's, and well I don't have time to go on the net when I have them...We had a great time of course.. It's beach time here, and we've been going the last month and a half already, every weekend. It's so great! We didn't get much of a winter, so the beach only missed us for a couple of months, if that... Went to a family dinner last night with my husbands family (we are seperated still) but he opted out, so that was a little ocward. Made it threw though, and I just made it fun. I was really happy that I made good food choices even though there was tones of goodies there. And it wasn't that hard. I think my body is getting used to the changes...


I brought out an old TAE BO work out, and got my 15 year old to do with with me sat, lol, she quit half way through, I went all the way, and did that work out again today.

I lost another 2 lbs, which I'm really happy about! Some people are giveing me flack because I'm haveing to eat more to loose weight, like I'm makeing an excuse to eat. Cause you know all of us fatties, are just extream over eaters, , but oh well, I do have to eat more then I was, and I am loosing weight so , what ever. It's just kinda anoying...

I tried to go through all the posts that I missed in the last few days but I couldn't get through them all. I noticed several of us lost some poundage, so YIPPIE!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!

I love this board, and all you guys your great. I hope you understand my disaperiance, for half the week, it's just how it is. I can't catch up to everyone individually...

Welcome to the new newbie!

Hope you guys had a great weekend!

Edit to add: I was not going to write this because it's very personal, but it's very important to me. I am at a point in my life, where I am wanting and trying to stear my life in the direction I want it to go in. Not just allow life to toss me around. I am very much taking charge. Me taking charge of my weight loss, is a bigger deal then I thought. It makes me feel very powerfull. This place that I'm at, is effecting all other aspects of my life very rapidly, I'm very suprised, happy, and a bit scared.

The dvd sounds great, and your daughter was doing it with you, thats awesome! I wish my mother and I could agree we are going on diets and would some exercise together!! lmao..

but anyway congrats on doing the dvd in full twice and losing those extra two pounds!

I wanted to address the PREGNANCY concern someone had a couple pages back that I did get to read. I don't know how to quote on here so I'm just going to paraphrase...

The concern was if you loose a hole bunch of weight, you don't want to get pregnant and get it all back on....

#You know your body has a tendincy to gain weight. So when you are pregnant, you need to be even more aware of this.


Everyone on this board, is now I'm sure very conciouse about how much food is going in , and what kind of food. I'm sure we are all excercising too.


The reason the recomended weight gain for pregnancy is 20-30 lbs, is because that's healthy. That weight gain is baby, placenta, and amniotic fluid, breast inlargement (not bad, lol) milk, etc... After you have any baby, you loose about 20lbs right away. Which is why if that's all you gain your whole pregnancy you look like you were never prego after you have the baby.

DON'T WORRY!!!!


Because everyone here IS concouse about how much and what we are eating. When it's the right time for you to get pregnant, you will not put all the weight back on. Allthough you will be more hungry, you will know, you can eat, snacks of cotage cheese with fruit, and it be hardly any calories etc.. You will allready be used to excersise, which means you can keep on excercising threw the pregnancy. Only those women like me, who were not excercising, can not then start during pregnancy. Since you are conciouse of what you are eating, you will NOT allow your pregnacy to be an excuse to treat your body badly, by eating what ever you want when ever you want, (like me), you are not eating for two ADULTS, LOL...

So no worries...

The only reason I sugested being at least 15O before becomeing prego, is because you will be very uncomfortable for the pregnancy. I had three pregancys in the 200's it was way harder, then my other two in the 100's.

After working soooo hard to get all this weight off, non, NON of us is going to allow anything to take that work away. I know when I get down all this weight, no trama, no emotional destress, no nothing, is going to give me an excuse to ignore my body again.

You all that have not yet had children, are in a super good position. Yes you will be loosing weight and putting some back on during your future pregnancies but, you will be smarter and stronger, haveing droped all that weight off, and you will only gain what is necisary to have a healthy baby.

Now I'm done haveing babies, 5 is my lucky number, lol. For you guys that have a future goal of being a mommy, a thread for that would probably be a great sucsess, as someone else mentioned.

Never pre worry in life.... (we all do it but, we shouldn't)

Sounds like fun Lilhun88!! I haven't played around like that since last year, when my ex and I decided to play like little kids lol we had a blast in the playground. It was hillarious. At first we were on the swings and than we ended going through the climbing area and my ex went down the slide, he is thin, but not to thin... just right, but he could slide down that slide..

but I am happy you had fun!! Who can't have fun with little ones when it comes to such a great surrounding like a little park!

Thanks NatalieJo!

Your so sweet! Yeah my 15 year old is a slim 113, but non of it is muscle, lol, the girl is so lazy. So we are going to try to get her fit too! I've been doing other excercises too, but the vidioes I like and they push you... I need some pushing, lol...

Hello everyone!
Ive got MAJOR achne problems after the past couple days. I have to drink TONS of water and not eat like I have been. I haven't been eating any of the chips of mexican dip my mom brought in... not touching anything ..

I had enough to feed a cow last night. Six yogurts in the middle of the night... got calcium .. I should drink milk instead lol Got Milk? lol
I actually had one small bowl of cereal today

and I had two eggs overeasy and a yogurt with that too .. The yogurts are wicked good .. I keep telling my mom not to buy them, but she keeps buying them. I told her its like really important and I will get the calcium from the milk .. I eat like a bowl of cereal a day and can just take two caltrate pills ..or however you spell it lol maybe I will make the case again ..because I have such a problem with these yogurts ..at least they arent the "whip" oness ...which are freaking like dessert!
Has anyone tried the Yoplait Whip yogurts? Aren't they like dessert?
Well these are the blue patterned yoplaits and black raspberries and raspberries are a craving of mine..if she got the fruit! awesome, but instead she gets the yogurts lmao ...

oh well ..what can you do .. I was thinking of throwing them out, but she would probably notice ..she said she doesnt want me throwing anything out lol
I used to throw ice cream out the night she bought it .. I used to throw cookies out .. I threw everything she would buy out ..and she would come home pissed off and I would be like.. "I am trying to lose weight, and you know how I am?" lol
but now she has put me down on the count lol and says I can't throw anything out ..so I have decided she can gain the weight, because I am not! lol
I am done with this stuff ..Ive got achne and a huge one near my nose , but almost in the middle of the cheek ..didn't come up until today and in five days I see Peter ..but he doesnt care .. he likes me just the way I am .. I have no clue why girls he would want someone with a big stomach and a big butt ..but he says he likes women and the bigger they are the better ... I think there is something wrong with this man ...seems almost too good to be true lol he is hypersensitive although ..man is he ever ..if I say something that I shouldnt he jumps right down my neck ..but he apologizes later, even when he shouldnt because he was right. and I should have thought before speaking ..anyway

I hope all you guys and gals are having a Beautiful day!!!

love yas
and sorry about my rambling .. I figured I could share with you guys .. Maybe you guys can give me some input ..lol
Does anyone use anything for their achne? most adults I think don't have achne.. I am using Neutrogena? any good? Because I am having one of those weeks..

no more bad eating for me. I have learned my lesson. I put the zero cola down the sink drain!!
lol

one of the ingredients in those yogurts is High Fructose corn Syrup - something you really should try to avoid in your diet...

Mal,
I don't eat those...lol I stopped eating those way back, when I was chucking them down like water and I checked out the fat content. I stare at them a far, and almost by them and remember, not a good thing. BUT I eat the other yoplait.. light... but I hate them too and don't want to eat them... and I have gone on to her about how much I dont want them, but she buys them anyway... oh well, what can you do. I will try to talk with her again. I am going to call her and see if she can pick up some berry burst cheerios and strawberries. Because I want healthy choices. Maybe she will get them, who knows. I really hope so lol it would suck if she wouldn't .. I pay her rent and pay her for my food! so I am not asking too much of her to just pick it up and no I dont have a car. My father is giving me his next Spring. I will be so happy when he does. He has fixed it all up. I am looking forward to it...

Anyway off subject I was
its not the whips that I eat, I was just remarking on them. They trully are like dessert. But I eat the blue and white packaged ones ..the Yoplait lights... and they are addicting too, but not as bad as the whips .. I don't want any yogurt at all to be honest. I would rather not have yogurt and if I need calcium just have milk, and caltrate ...

well thanks for your remarks ..
I would have never known it had frutose in it ... because they just are whipped.. I picture syrup differently. But I dumped the zero cola in the sink. No more soda beverages.. just water and sometimes tea. I have to clean up my act. Thanks for correcting me on a few things..

I must seem like such a ditz .. oh well... what can you do

well have a good day
always

NatalieJo, the light yogurts are actually not that bad for you, just in moderation haha. seems to be the key to everything! I like having the vanilla or lemon yogurts around for when I get a sweet craving. 110 calories for one is alot better than the 600+ calories you'd eat if you went for ice cream or something equally as bad for you. My experience has been don't cut yourself off completely or thats when you'll really over eat a specific item.

So today marks my return to being healthy. Its almost 1 pm and I've only eaten about 200 calories so far. I'm going to do my Crunch Fat Burning Blast dvd in a little bit, then make a trip to the grocery for some essential healthy items and make a delicious late lunch before I head to work until 10. I'm a photographer in a children's studio so I don't sit around eating at work and I run around with the kids and am constantly getting up and down off the floor. Its a good workout and prevents me from unnecessary eating! 3 more days of a good pattern and I'll easily be losing weight again.
