No calorie counting in my family when I was young. In fact, on this side of the lake, (England) being a chubby kid was healthy. Darn the medics back then!!! I've never been a skiinny chick and have never wanted to be. I've said it before, Victoria Beckham is a bad role model, give me Jlo anyday, (without the attitude!)

Nancy, noooooooo! Come back!!! LOL I know what you're saying. I've gained over 2lbs this week because I'v been too tired to care. I kept thinking.......damage limitation, stop now! I've not been too bad today, just 500 calories all day but that's cos I've been asleep for most of it!!! I've not exercised at all for 2 weeks cos I'm so tired, all the time. I go to bed fall asleep, wake up worrying if the kids school clothes are clean, the bills are paid, what shift am I on tomorrow, will I ever get back to sleep, which I do, just before the alarm goes off!!!! Am now sat here with a nice cold beer thinking I should eat something because I have alcohol in my hand but then if I don't eat I wont take on anymore calories!!! Grief, is this what it's like to be in your 40's? I wanna go back to my twenties boo hoo!

My eyes, my heart and my brain. My husband likes these as well as well as my boobs, belly, bum and legs, but not my feet.........he hates feet!

This has nothing to do with anything that's recently been written, sorry, but I have to write. I've had a really lousey day, hubby moaned at me, my boss moaned at me, my boss's boss moaned at me and then my kids moaned cos I'd cooked a decent meal and to top it off I crashed on my diet!!! My little sister phoned whilst I was taking it all out on my house cleaning and advised I put my music on.....loud! I have just danced, really danced, around my lounge for over half hour and feel great, sweaty, hot puffed out, but great!!!!
Motivation	oooh oooh! Fabulous quotes for Motivation!!!	Jul 06 2007 23:43 (UTC)	64
Going back to Marianne Williamson, " It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us" I disagree, my favourite quote is not a famous one cos it's one I made myself, it's "If you're in the dark, switch the light on!"
Weight Loss	is their a secret to lossing the last 10 15 lb's?	Jul 06 2007 23:01 (UTC)
I don't know if this is true but I read an article today that says reading a racy book can help weight lose!!!!! Why the government pay for this type of research I don't know, but I think I might go buy a Jackie Collins book, the racier the better apparently! It might be English extentricity but hey, I'm English and will give it ago!
Weight Loss	What vitamins do you take?	Jul 06 2007 22:57 (UTC)	4
I have also been taking green tea. Luckily it doesn't give me gas but makes me lay off the caffeine. Also psychologically makes me feel better and stick to the diet.
Weight Loss	What vitamins do you take?	Jul 06 2007 22:55 (UTC)	5
I'm a veggie and truelly believe taking an Omega 3 oil, flax seed, dose has really helped me. My weight loss, though slow, has been consistant since taking one-a-day.
Weight Loss	Something fun- "what celebrity body" do you want to look like?	Jul 06 2007 22:53 (UTC)	49
JLo for me, without the butt though. I like to be a curvier person! I'm english so think Victoria Beckham is a bad influence. Just looking at Tom Cruise's wife says it all, poor girl.

Well I weighed today, was really scared cos of damage I had done last week. I had weighed myself on Saturday and had gained 3lbs due to the food, situations and TTOM!!! But as I promised myself I got straight back on it and have lost weight again. I'm actually only 0.2lb down from 2 weeks ago but I have lost the weight gained so Woo Hoo me! 147.4lbs and feeling really good! I hope everyone does well and feels good too!

Motivation	The woo-hoo thread	Jun 28 2007 21:13 (UTC)	4
My WooHoo is that I slipped off the diet due to stress and being weak for 3 days and realised that I had fallen off the wagon and have got straight back on without worrying. I am back on track xx

Shearsfam never weigh yourself the day after a treat!!!! The scales will only tell you how much you weigh because of the food you ate the day before! I now just wait until a weigh day. Thanks to this forum it is on a Friday. Don't get despondant, you haven't cheated! There is no diet in this world that would deny a mum celebrate her child's birthday x
Motivation	why are we overweight??????????????	Jun 27 2007 22:39 (UTC)	3
Point taken pgeorgian. I do see what you are saying about personal responsibility, and to a point I agree, but try saying to a manager, sorry I was late back from lunch, it took my ages to prepare my salad and then slowly chew it to stop me from getting indegestion!!!! I'd be in sooooo much trouble.!!!!!!!!!!!!Actually I quite like that idea! I just might try it tomorrow hee! hee! (secret rebel!)

tankgirl, that maybe the answer! Anyone out there with a medieval rack that we can borrow? No need to loose weight, we'll just get stretched!!!! I think I'd like to be 5'10/11". At this rate I think it would be easier than losing these last few stubborn pounds!!!!! (Happy belated birthday anyway)

nycgirl, why are you weighing yourself daily? I thought that was a bad thing. Every one weighs different every day, thought that was common knowledge, stick to once or twice a week.

Just saying hi and wishing you all well. I'll not be weighing myself on Friday, I have had a really stressful 5 days with a sick, hospitalised child and have succumbed to the evil of pizza, cheese and crackers and crisps and it's only Tuesday. I'll be back on track tomorrow but now due TTOM! Stress does cause me to be weak and give in! But tomorrow I will begin again, so all the best to everyone else and I'll weigh in next Friday xxx
Motivation	why are we overweight??????????????	Jun 24 2007 22:17 (UTC)	6
Going back to the tense way of life, when man first existed all he had to worry about was survival of the fittest. Now-a-days we have a lot more stresses in life, I think that our own personal health, (sorry guys) but especially women, have a lot more stresses to deal with. Society today makes it so much easier to be overweight because of time restrictions on everyday living. Tell me, are there any stores, garages, corner shops that don't sell quick convenience foods, that we can't munch on in 5 mins, that are low fat except clothes shops! Even sports shops sell special high carb drinks and snack bars. Also, personally speaking, my hectic life stye leads me to not to have breakfast, grab a pastry snack at lunch, makes me too tired to prepare a healthy tea/supper and drink too much wine. Being tired makes it harder for me to have more self control. Whilst not being over weight I do find it difficult to have this self control on quite a few days simply due to the way my life is!

Laura, just don't give up. I have a bean pole hubby and 2 skinny kids! Sure I got given the wrongs ones in the maternity unit!!!! Anyway, I plateau'd for about 3months and decided I am not giving in, I will be thinner!!! Well I am back to losing weight. We will be thinner,we will succeed (cos sucking in our cheeks wont work!) Going back to the activity list, does it say any thing about how much you lose by intensely scrubbing a tiolet after a patient has had severe diarrohea everywhere!!!! Taking into account that you feel that bad afterwards you don't eat anything!!!! I must have lost at least 400cals!!!!

My weight continues to go down, yeah! It's very slow but still it is a loss. Tankgirl.......how tall are you because I started at 11.4st and am down to 10.7st. Going to loose another 3-7lbs cos I'm 5'7" and look awful if I go below 10st.
Motivation	What size is a 5'7?	Jun 22 2007 23:44 (UTC)	144
I'm 5'7" and weigh 147, english size 14 though can wear a 12 also. Is that a 12/10 american size? I've never been any smaller than a 12 even when I was 140lbs which is apparently an ideal weight for someone of my hieght and bone structure (medium)
