In search of my body...not the one I ate!

[3DisneyKids]

<swoon>

I love my DH dearly - been married nearly 20 years...but his idea of "romantic" is making an appointment for me to get the oil changed in my car...

I SO ditto that! I mean, you all read that what he wrote in my valentine's card!

Soooo Let me see if I understand this. Since you have been seeing a GUY in december you can't receive what he has to DELIVER

Ok, Grumps, that was good...

kat - I'm at 125/130 lost right now and in a size 14. I broke up with Tammy at the beginning of December and have been dating guys since the end of December. I've been seeing one guy since the second week in January.
It's not as serious as I'd like, but I'm trying to just roll with it.

to all the boarder babes (and guy) - I had gastric bypass in February of 2007 (starting weight 319 and size 30). As a result, I can't eat a lot of carbs.
My friends laugh at me because the guy I'm seeing is a bread delivery man for Bunny bread (that's what I said!) - so they all tell me it won't work because I can't have carbs.

Holy WOW girl! You are amazing! That is unbelievable! You are my new hero! Do you have before and current pics? My BFF is gay, so no worries about sexual orientation here. We love 'em all...gay straight, black, white, fat....just not THIN! Those folks... better watch out! Kidding, of course...

Hello everyone... I was invited to join you guys... so how does this work?... My name is Nathalie, I'm trying to lose weight, so far, since Jan 10th I lost 8 -10 lbs... I'm yoyoing up and down... This week I started to exercice some more... I did about 15 min Tae Bo and 15 min of walking, and 20 min of weights... not much, but it's a start...
I weight in between 254 - 250, depending on my yoyoing week ha!
I just want to feel good about myself, regain confidence etc... I am 39, going to be 40 in Sept.
My husband of 13 years (21 years together) decided to leave me and the kids this past summer... something to do with sex!!! I was on holidays for a week visiting my sister and when I came back home, he was at the door and told me that he was leaving, no explanation... of course there's an other woman, I could understand if she was younger, smaller, prettier... but she is not... just a real bad reputation of being easy... so off he went!
I found myself a job well actually I'm working 2 jobs... I have custody of the kids, and my goal is to make sure that my kids are well taking care off and secure... so in May I am going to Disney to get some energy and fun back in my life...
And that's it for me... well not it... so much Drama in my life right now and not caused by me... but my ex and his family ha! ha!

We are so glad you are here..I am so very honored you accepted my invite to come...and I am glad you are like me...waitig to the better side of this life. You pickes a heck of a time to join...lots of personal info revealed in the past 24 hours so you are in a good spot. I believe we are the most honest and open thread here..we dish the dirt of our lives so we can move past the cr@p and onto the good stuff. This is home to me and I hope you feel at home here as well.

I SO ditto that! I mean, you all read that what he wrote in my valentine's card!
Yeah..he said..oh honey..when you touch me I feel like I just got touched by the heavens cause you are a cloud full of lovin...


Holy WOW girl! You are amazing! That is unbelievable! You are my new hero! Do you have before and current pics? My BFF is gay, so no worries about sexual orientation here. We love 'em all...gay straight, black, white, fat....just not THIN! Those folks... better watch out! Kidding, of course...

I always say at my Tupperware Party's.."It doesn't matter if you are gay, strait, black, white male or female...everybody eats and everybody stores food!" We are sooo much alike....

Nat...Welcome. Cmon in the water is fine. However if you get to be a skinny minnie you may want to duck, 3disneykids will throw things at you.

Ok, Grumps, that was good...

Ok so I have to admit that Dawn and I were talking and she had the same idea at the same time I did. then we talked out the response. Her word choices are almost always funnier than mine though and this time she deserves the credit.

Hi honey...we would love you to join our challenge and help our numbers ...basically what we are doing is competing against another thread on the Wish...we weighin ach Friday..top 5 losers from each week are recognized and at the endo of the month ...the winners will get a magnet from one of the losers in the form of a state magnet as a moving trophy. I love the simplicity of it and the fn spirit. We are all glad you are here and feel free to post when you can...
By the way...you and goof and I are similar..I too hid behind the weight for a long time...I now though...may just have found what I had been hiding from...a heart to go with mine.....

Ok sign me up and tell me what I need to do. You know what they say, might as well jump in with both feet. Of course this is the color I would be if I did since we are in the midst of an ice storm. I do my best to do the body boarder babe proud and be a great cheerleader. This may be a little scary me in a mini-mini skirt and skin tight top. You all might see more than you bargained for.

 

[MunkyMe13]

I've got a good start to next weeks weigh in!! wahoo!!! Grats to everyone this week!!!!

 

[Pixieshouse]

Afternoon everyone!

I guess I have a few questions to answer

Scale: Digital
Weight: Not public yet, but I will get there showing gain or loss if fine with me

I went to the gym today, first day this year! I am very proud of myself for
1. getting to the gym
2. working out and not chickening out
3. sticking with it!!!!

I did 35 minutes on the elliptical (my trainers goal last year was 45 min)
40 crunches
20 crunches to each side
some leg lifts
and some good stretching

My little polar watch says I burned 403 calories

Hopefully that will mean the scale will start to go down along with my clothes fitting better!!

Off to do laundry and pick up after the family.

We need you guys for our board and our challenge....can you play with us??? We promise not to bite...but HockeyKat has been known to carry a big stick so I'd strongly suggest to join...

I am just kidding...although I am on my knees begging you right now so not kidding that much...we need great women like you!!!

I'm not sure you'll want me, I do bite and if it tastes good I go back for more. But seriously, more accountablility I'm all for it.

I'm brand spanking new to the group, hope they don't really spank, and they welcomed me to the group with open arms. Should be loads of fun.

Welcome Nat!!! So glad to have you here! I have seen you on other treads (maybe Dawn's pre-trip?) Sounds like you are going through a lot right now...and if that is the case...you have come to the right place! This is the most wonderful supportive group of people you could ever ask for! We are here to support you...or listen to you whine and vent...whenever you need it!

Welcome! Erika

Ok, ok, so I am a bit buzzed at the moment...doesn't mean I am not sincere! Wow--look at that...seeing double and still spelled everything right! I slay me...

He's right...I just might...be on the look out!

Welcome, Lori! Always psyched to add another Body Board babe to our crew!

YOU ROCK for getting to the gym today! Three cheers for you!

See? At least I am a happy drunk!

Nighters!

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

OK! You guys better thank you're lucky stars you didn't erase that page of oh so juicy info. I am a charter member and I am entitled to all the dirt. Got It!

D & G - Oh. My. Gosh.
1. Yaaaaay.
2. I need a few more details. Unless you already posted them and I was just reading to0 fast to get the info. I tend to do that.
3. You questioned our reaction? This board is nothin' but love, baby!



I tell you. I am snowed in due to the "Blizzard of 2008" as it is now being referred to, and I missed all the action here. I don't even have a good excuse as to why I was missing.



Dawn, I don't think we need more people for the challenge. We just have to be accountable and post better numbers. I like people joining because they need support. TOWANDA!

 

[3DisneyKids]

TOWANDA!

LOVE that movie!

Ok...I think I better go to bed before I hurt myself...

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Do you guys think a pink cell phone for an overweight 31year old is unprofessional?

I want a pink phone. But I'm no Paris Hilton, so will I look like I'm trying to hard?

BUT...more importantly...I am a professional. And don't want to whip out a pink phone and look silly.

Give me your thoughts.

I don't usually buy into the "Get what you want, it doesn't matter what others think", because it really does matter to me.

I am getting a phone. My cell keeps dying randomly and I have a $150 credit, so....which one. Pink or silver.

 

[Pixieshouse]

Well I am 36, overweight and have a pink cellphone! Unless you are male I don't think anyone will even notice

Shoot. Did I leave that part out?

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

Actually we have several guys buy the pink for themselves and yes some are straight.

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Grumps. I forgot that. Who do you work for?

It's Sprint. And I don't really care. I just like Pink or Silver. I think it will end up being a KatanaII. I don't need anything fancy. I rarely text. DD12 does, so one of these days, that might be more necessary for me than right now. But I do like the camera option. No blackberry's or anything. I'm not THAT important.
