WARNING: DUMB QUESTION TO FOLLOW!

Can you walk in this marathon or is it only for runners? I DON'T run. (In fact it's rather scary when I do!)

im walking because they give you 3.5 hours to finish it for 3 miles so i think we can all do that way faster !!!

Anyone out there have a front loading dishwasher?My DH just pulled out 13 socks and a pair of G.I. Joe pants out from between the drum and door under the rubber.Just FYI.

That's an odd place to do laundry Amy.....

Let's see... oh, yeah... Everyone that's struggling (OK, like ME!) think in 5 minute increments, or at commercials, instead of flipping channels (that would be ME again) get up, right elbow to left knee ... march in place for the commercial... I'm now up 1,000 more steps!!

Bee~ You may have a long way to go but you're not in this alone. You've already made so many good changes and have said you are going to do positive things for yourself and your DDs. It's hard to make sweeping changes all at once and stick to them. The best way to make permanent changes is gradually. One extra serving of veggies every day isn't a huge change but soon it'll be natural to add one more each night. Substitute as many low or fat free foods as you can. (DH doesn't like this one.... he says he can taste teh difference. However, just one thing at a time helps a lot.) Reduce and eventually eliminate all the empty calories in your house. If you don't have chips and ice cream you can't eat it when you're sitting there vegging in front of the TV. Keep a set of small weights near your sofa and lift them while watching TV. (This is one of DH's ideas, it seems pretty easy but you're doing something and that burns calories and helps tone your arms.)

We're all here for you, it may seem like slow going but every tiny thing you do is helping create a healthier YOU!

Actually, Bee, I weighed 286 (I had said my before wt. wrong) and wore a skin tight 28. The largest size off the rack at Lane Bryant. It is SOOOOO mental! That's why support is so important. And we are FREE!

You can DO IT! Here's my major tips from then that I try to cling to now: (I have NO long term tips on maitanence, obviously )

1. Only set teeny goals. Make a big deal when you accheive tham. Instead of saying 150, say 5 pounds. Then another 5, etc. I couldn't believe how easy it was to do when my goals were acchievable within a week or two!

2. I did not drink any soda then (need to do that again)

3. nothing "white". Wheat versions of all things white (pasta, cereals, breads) when on my phase 2 of SB

*About the mental part, I HATED all the new attention from men! Isn't that weird? You'd think I'd eat it up. But. I have NO interest in flirting in real life. I am just friendly to everyone. I "flirt" with everyone! I would be "friendly" and the guy (I was cutting hair then) would interpret that as flirting and "come on" to me. With all this fat, I am cushioned from that kind of attention. So. Now I realize that so I'm way better prepared. At the time, it was very very hard to be as friendly as I normally am and wonder if I was leading them on.

Figuring that out probably saved me from re-gaining TOO much.

I am trying to be focused. I try to think about everytime I start that opening the fridge and pantry when bored, "Am I really hungry?"

Usually not.

My current obstacles are:
1. No drive to exercise. I know that's what I did wrong last time. I'm really not lazy either.

2. Soda makes me drink more soda. The sodium makes me retain water and feel bloated. Yet I cant stop. I love the caffeine. Need a better solution. Want diet Pepsi to be a treat.

3. Need to have a consistant "NO FAIL" environment.


Bee, sorry this got so long. I think I'm talking to myself as well as everyone. I just know as long as we all have each other, we'll be fine. We have the Jan. 08 meet to visulize ourselves at.

 

[harleygirl]

I was just rying to look online and see what rates might be for '08 nd it wont let me, says you hafta call the number so I'll call and find out...MAYBE if we can get a large enuff group going - 8 or more i believe can bea Grand Gathering and we get nifty treats and can name our gathering which will of course may very well be "Peep Meet" or skinnie minnie gathering - I'll call reservations and check it out...get more info and let you know

with a Gathering they will try to get us all rooms close together if we are at the same resort...and you ge special attention too! we got to cheat to the front of the line as a group sometimes - way cool!!!

"Amy keeps rubbers in the dishwasher!! "


Thanks ! I now have to clean crystal light off my computer!

 

[winkers]

all right Harley and Bee I'll step up to that challenge. and I'll add that the TLC show they didnt focus on losing 5#, and after 30 days, one girl lost 2# one 5# but it was the inches, and attainable changes... so if I read your bosts right Bee, you have made incredible changes, the book, the fires.... you were waiting here, until you were ready - so dont back down now!!!

Hang on Peeps... Hang on - suck it in... suck it up!!

How do you read bosts? Sorry, couldn't help myself ! It's nice that I'm not the only one who doesn't proof read!

 

[Bee]

Okay, everyone.

I love you all. I am just realizing I put on like 40-50 lbs since the end of July. This back surgery.. while being good for my back... did not help me in the weight dept.

I really do love all of you!

I soooo waant to go in January. I just know it will be a long while before I know if I can go.. If it will be me, DH andme.. family.. if I come alone then I would love to share a room with someone.

I really appreciate all of your support. I cant wait til tomorrow my dr is going to be really MAD.

Then we get a call tonight and DH grandmother is going in for a pacemaker in the morning..STRESS!!!

I promise to be me old self again soon......

Bee...My prayers are with your DH's grandmother. I hope she gets through the surgery without any problems.

As for your room situation, I'll need a roomate and I'd love to share with you! I'm a little messy, but not too bad by myself. And as far as I know I don't snore! I won't be sure for awhile if I can go either, as I go in Nov 2007. I'll have to see how it goes!

OK, I'm off to bed. I'm sure there will be TONS to read in the morning!

 

[dismom9761]

Bee,I hope everything goes well with your DH's grandmother's surgery in the morning.Keep us updated.

And we sooooo want you to go in Jan too.

 

[pixie dust 112]

I am so DOWN. Bought a scale today....

When you all are gone..come back to see me...

I weigh 313.......313.......313........313..........so since I have 150 lbs to lose all by myself...... I am soooooo sad .

I am 5'6". I keep looking at UM's picture for inspiration.. but, I weigh 50lbs more than that.

Hey Bee that's just 50 more reasons to celebrate when you get down to a heathy wait. If you follow a plan it will fly off of you!
