I'm also very impatient! I keep telling myself to run, but end up not running lol. I do lift weights and play basketball afterwards so yeah. I think that's normal, just keep doing what your doing and you'll be fine.

LOL!! Thanks! ... to you too pink.

When I get to my goal weight of 140, I'll decide if I want to lose a bit more or not, but 140 would be right on the border of being a normal weight... according to online BMI calculators... but, I'll adjust it when I get to that point ... I;m hoping with in less than 2 years... is that even realistic? I don't want my Son to remember me as morbidly obese... but as the fun, healthy, fit cool Mom! He's one, I still have some time....

[veronandez86]

Tamwalt, I totally believe that you can lose the weight you want to within 2 years.

I bet your son is probably having you chase him around the house since he's walking/running now huh?

Kids are so cute. I dont have any of my own but I can't believe how fast they grow up.

Oh my, the minute I read this part in your post I was reminded of this episode of the original Twilight Zone series. (LoL... I'm such a Sci-fi channel nerd)

I haven't seen that episode in forever, but I believe the girl in it got to a certain age, so her mom sent her to this factory type of place where they sat you down and while there you got to choose what kind of a body you wanted based on the pictures of what they considered to be the "beautifully perfect" women in the world. I might be telling it wrong... but that's pretty much my take on what I remember from that episode.

I think that'd be crazy to just wake up your ideal weight. Ha, I remember when I was in high school I went to sleep one night and prayed that I could wake up looking like J-Lo. LoL, boy was I disappointed. What would also be weird is if you could wake up and just like choosing your clothing for the day, you can choose what size bottom / bust / other body parts you wanted to have for that day. LoL.

It will come, like with all things, in time. Patience is a verchue, although it's really anoying to have to wait.. lol

If i woke up my ideal weight i would call in that day and request an immediate vacation....I then would hit up Bloomingdales, Macys, some other stores at the mall, and the Dooney and Bourke outlet. Before i go anywhere, I honestly think I would spend like 3 hours in the mirror, one hour in the shower, and one hour putting on lotion. It's a good thing the malls are open late

[Hope2]

veronandez,

Haha... Yeah, that does sound like a twilite zone episode...lol...

Gees Umm, so with this picking body size, by the peice thing, umm so we could exchange some deflated baloones for nice perky ones.. Ahh man, that would be neet! no change in size desired, just um, natural support..Yes please!

Pink,

Don't think you could pull off b***y if you tried. I think I would laugh at you... lol...


"I am a bit conceited regardless of what others think of me"

Haha, I love it!!! Conceited... lol.. I wouldn't have pegged you for that "type" pink...


Nat,

Glad to see you in much better spirits! Seriously, it's great to see... Glad you are feeling positive and moving in the direction you want to!!!!!

[pink clouds]

Conceited
ADJECTIVE:

Holding or characterized by an unduly high opinion of oneself; vain.

yes maybe that word is not a good one because I do not think it is unduly high...but maybe that in itself is vain and conceited

[Hope2]

So the beauty thing...

I think I'm smart, but there are smarter, I think I'm nice but there are nicer, I think I'm patient but there are more patient people out there etc. etc...

I do think I'm beautiful, inside, and yes my outside package isn't half bad. But what's funny, is, when you think your beautiful inside, enough anyway to be at least somewhat content, then it's ok if other's can't see it. It truley is.

I love that I'm a work in progress, my whole life, I will be no doubt. We all are after all unfinished, and I love that I am... I love learning about others, and I love learning about me. I don't know if my insides are more beautiful then someone elses, after all lots of grumpy people, are actually really hurt souls, and I have seen people transform in front of my eyes. So I tend to think that all people who are bitter, mean, etc, are just lost and hurt. So in a sence, I do belive we all are beautiful. Not all things that are done are, or said, or felt.. But that's part of the human condition, imperfection, and the chance of a new day, a chance to learn and grow, and become... well more..

I think those that can't love, truley and deeply, just don't love themselves enough... And I feel sad for them.. Which at times has been to a downfall of sorts for me... There is a big difference then loveing yourself, and being conceded...lol pink... I do not think you are conceded, I think you just love yourself, your not full of yourself!!! And you are allowed my dear...

[tamwalt]

with Hope2.

Also!!! I came here to tell you guys that I lost another 2lbs! Now I'm getting more excited, lol... because it's steady, even though some of my days have gone screwy....

[Kevi12]

Goodjob tamwalt!
For kevi, still stuck in 206, i'm a little frustrated, but I understand when I get under 210 that it's gonna be hard losing weight , but seeing everyone lose weight makes me sad and happy at thesame time.

[spartacus26]

just keep at it, kevi!! We all plateau sometimes. I'm sure you'll lose more. Hey, with all that working out, you're probably gaining muscle!!

[Hope2]

Yippie Tamwalt, Great job on the 2lbs lost!!!!

Kevi, you'll get there, don't worry! You are doing a great job!!!!! Definatly muscle gain! Yup, you are very active, and young Kevi! Your probably still growing, in some ways! Just not more out now though!!!

[Kevi12]

Probably, but I'll keep monitoring my weight till the end of summer. I tried running today and man it was toooooo hot. It felt like the heat bit me or something!

[Hope2]

spartacus,

My eyes must be playing tricks on me! I swear I thought your advatar was spider man's arms, holding on to the side of a skyskraper window.. What have I been smokin.. Gees.... wow. hmmmm... like the whole time you had it.. lol

Kevi,

I think your doing great! Did you read about platues on here.. There are some tips to get threw them. Maybe you should check them out or do a search?
