Motivation Beautiful Amazon's over 200 Jan 29 2007

I'm Back!  Hello everyone (including the Newbies I have missed over the last few day).  I have been a SLACKER!   I just did not have the energy to deal with losing weight...how sad is that.  But today is a new day and I am back in the game.  Already started logging my calories for the day and have all my meals planned.  Unfortunately, I am working a double today, so my food is convenience food.  It is either that or takeout.  I feel that frozen is the lesser of 2 evils. 

It was encouraging to see all the positive post when I am feeling bad about my little "stall".  Good luck today...Dani

Welcome to all the new, empowered amazons!  All the success stories are giving me warm fuzzies :-)  Today was a fairly good day, but I could have done better.  Of course, not exercising is killing me.  I see the ortho surgeon on Thursday, so hopefully my knee will be fixed soon and I can get back to working out. 

I have another incentive to lose this weight.  I have started the process to have a breast reduction.  I will not see the surgeon until September which should be enough time to get my weight in a more reasonable range.

Have a great night...Dani

Jules-Keep on your stilettos girl.  I, for one, love hearing from you.

Avesha and Jules-I think most of us can relate.  I do the same exact thing that both of you do...Look at old pictures of myself and think "I wish I looked like that again".  Of course, I had a mother that was obsessed with weight and small framed.  So I always compared myself to her.  I now have a future Amazon who is 10 yrs old and I am always stressing to her the importance positive self image, eg. change the things you can and accept the things you can't (like bone size). 

Amanda-Thanks for the props!  I hope you had a great day...Let me know how you did.

Amanda...I am sending good vibes your way!  I caved today and ordered pancakes and ham from Cracker Barrel, but when it came time to eat it I just ate 1.  Now I have breakfast for Monday and Tuesday :-)  For Buffets I will only go up twice.  The first being for a big salad and the 2nd for 1 serving or spoon of 4 things that I REALLY want.  I usually do not finish what is on my plate because the salad has filled me up.  I definately do better when I only eat when I am hungry and then stop when I am not hungry anymore.  GOOD LUCK...Dani

Jules, Avesha, Lauren and everyone else that has added their "two cents" into the amazon issue.  I have to say that I liked the fact that everyone was able to have their say without being offensive.  Jules: TY for having an open mind and working with this group.  I was truly considering leaving this site altogether because of this issue.  We are all here to lose weight and support eachother in the process.  There are hundreds of threads to meet everyone's needs and this thread meets mine.  I think Beautiful Amazon's would be a great, positive title for this group. 

Hopefully, we will be able to put this issue to rest and get back to the reason we are all here.  Take care all!  Dani

After a Major blond moment I signed up on the wrong team.  I just realized this morning that I am on Team 1.  Sorry!  I have not lost anything this week, but I am counting calories and hope to have some progress next week.  Unfortunately, I injured my knee a few weeks ago and I am unable to do my normal workout which consists of elipitical and treadmill.  If anyone has any suggestions on how I can workout they would be appreciated.  Thanks! Dani

I have to have my say about "Amazon".  I have always been tall and large frame (always the tallest and biggest in class) NOTE: I did not say fattest.  At my best I was 5'9 and 130 lbs.  and I still referred to myself as an Amazon.  I have never heard anyone use this discription negatively.  Avesha-If you need any assistance in getting the title reinstated I am here to help!  

Dani (Proud Amazon Woman)

Now I am going to put my frustration in a balloon and let it go :-)

HELP!  I checked out the bra that Avesha mentioned but the cup size is not big enough for me.  I wear a 42 DDD or F.  If anyone has any ideas for a sports bra I would appreciate your help.  Dani

Avesha...Thanks so much for the info about the bra.  I hope I will have success with it.  Unfortunately, I hurt my knee 2 weeks ago and it is not getting any better.  I hope to have it repaired soon, so I can start working out again.  The only thing I can do right now is drop my calories lower.  I have actually gained weight since my injury and I am not having it!

I love this thread!  I am 5'10 and currently weigh 224.  Just like Avesha, I am aways told "I would have never known...You carry your weight so well.  The fact is I don't care what other people think.  I am not happy with how I carry the weight.  I am going to be 30 + 10 :-)  in 2 months and I want to be healthy.
