| Weight Loss | Stripper Fears | Apr 10 2008 04:25 (UTC) |

This is a fun post Cuz no one is holding any punches I would like to learn some real dance skill like tango a/o ballet or whatnot and then mix it up with some sensual moves. Also be extremely toned and well-dressed. Then go clubbing and not make a fool outa myself. I think stripping must require a lot of flexibility and creativity as well as prettiness... can't help but admire those chics. Have wanted to be like a Coyote Ugly girl. A man in my life recently admired my thighs which I have hated; now I am wearing a different, less baggy style of pants on occasion and looking at myself in a whole other light. So so cool... |

Any sickness with either chronic or fatigue in the title has gotta be bad. Probably believing you are sentenced to being tired all the time for the rest of your life, and dreading that, is even worse than the physical effect. Sorry Bluebird. Makes my problems seem not so bad. 4-square how is the diet going? You still aspiring to being teeny tiny some day? How is hubby doing with it? Wow a lot of health concerns and January blahs. How are we going to make diet progress? For those feeling ok, Wake up people! My mom is a nurse at Hospice and they gave them a handout on how to increase energy. Here are a few of them. Foods to eat to increase energy: Alaskan salmon, blueberries, walnuts, almonds. What do y'all do to get energy? And try to mix a few practical answers in with the Sunday School answers will ya? (Not to be cynical but a few of us aren't super Christians yet) (and may never be at the rate I am going) lol |

Hi guys. I am sneaking over here from CCC because they have slowed to a crawl with the posting. I feel somewhat energized, having just joined the gym. And had my body fat composition done by a trainer. It was not that fun. But eye-opening. And he had this model of a pound of fat that was supposed to be very accurate. It was really big, a lot bigger than I imagined. Like, the size of a pound and a half of butter. He said a pound of muscle is about the size of a tennis ball. I want to say, Gina, that I REALLY like the idea of losing slowly. I would be happy with one lb per month, if I could just keep it off. And not lose my muscle in the process. Ok here I go to drink tea yum yum. My sister is gettin married in June and so I am supposed to be a brides-maid. It is my motivator right now. |

Joined a gym. Have an appointment to appear in shorts and a t-shirt before a fit male trainer so he can pinch my fat white folds with a caliper, and tell me my percentage. This joyous occasion is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9:30 am. Can hardly wait. Almost as excited as I was for my root canal. I don't feel like I belong there. everyone seems happy and energized and I just feel out of shape and blah. However, sitting on my A* and not doing anything for four years hasn't really improved my mood so maybe a workout or two will. And there is a hot tub. Besides physical health and looking better, does anyone on this site have any other reasons they are trying to lose weight? |

I have a lot of things I want to do in 2008. Sing in church choir Get into the Bible in a regular way I want to improve myself professionally in visible ways, get more done, get more hours in, get more money, get more education. I want to replace my car or at least get it fixed. I want to get and stay healthy, beating Candida. I want to teach my daughter to read and get my son in a sport. I want to stay below 140 lbs, and get and stay below 130 lbs. But I don't say I RESOLVE to do these things because I don't want guilt of failure if I don't get one done. Things I did last year: got below 140 lbs Got divorced Got two associate degrees from local Junior College Got into a new apartment. I actually moved three times this last year. Quit waitressing at Pizza Hut, Yeah! Travelled to New York. Travelled to Sandpoint, Idaho Started a home business. Accepted my average build.

Exposure to donuts is a test. Temptation waits in every dark building and around every corner. Have you guys sat down with notebooks and brainstormed about what causes the overeating? (Some of the following are mine.) Then, you can conceive a strategy for 2008 fine-tailored to the needs of your family TOP REASONS AMERICANS OVEREAT We all know the notion of "fat people are just lazy" is plain false. If you can beat the donuts to the punch by meeting whatever need they are supposed to address, then you can outwit the doughy little demons. |

I think a sins project would be interesting but this is not the place for it. We are trying to lose weight here and IMO a project like that is just too far off the subject. Then again, perhaps I am being too negative today. I have tried not to post because I hate posting when I am depressed but I have to tell somebody. Anyways, depression affects my dieting...I always want to eat away my sorrows. I am in a funk because I just broke up with my boyfriend of a year and a half. I can't really describe how broken I feel because I am just numb. I thought he was going to be the one but then I realized that he doesn't go to church on his own. he only goes if I force him. So I started to stay home to be with him when he was here. But I don't want that to be how it is forever. I had originally been RandysGalPal in honor of my relationship with him before I started posting in here as Zeroexcuses... So now I don't expect to hear back from him in the near future if ever again. My kids loved him too... ack So perhaps my opening statement was a bit hypocritical since that whole paragraph was off the subject. Anyway, hope everyone had a good Christmas. Really hard cuz my kids loved him too. |

Ok People. I did a bad. I had lasagna for dinner, and two servings of cereal for breakfast instead of one. and not one bit of fruit or veggies with either. I don't even feel repentant. The cold weather makes me want to curl up in a ball under a blanket and only eat hot comforting foods. Pizza sounds good. |

Poor Chris. Why is it that the only people they will sell life insurance to are the ones that don't need it lol? I hate peeing on demand, too. It gives me that suspected feeling.... and the only way to defend my honor is in the outcome of the tests. My reputation hanging in the balance over a plastic cuppy of urine. Why don't we use our modern technology to improve on this system? |

If you realize God made us, made the digestive system, made the elimination systems, made metabolism, made the endocrine system, then you realize He can perceive what is going on when there are things wrong with the body. Anyway, He came to give life and that more abundantly... I think He cares, but not so much about the body as about what is going on inside of us. |

Dear TW, First of all, thank you for articulating what you feel so well. Second, I understand about mourning lost opportunity. Although I did not get very heavy, I made some other very self destructive choices which limited me severly and which cause me to live my live through a filter of sorrow. Third, I also understand the difficulty and angst of moving forward and changing. It is painful to grow. It is almost like doing surgery on oneself to abandon the old ways, everything which is familiar, and step into a whole strange new reality. Fourth, whenever you wake up from a state of numbness, which it sounds like you are, you are going to feel each feeling you supressed, and face each sensation you avoided. All the smells, thoughts, and views you warded off with a shield of food are still there and they are going to come again. If there are issues with depression, or loneliness, they are going to be there and require some action in some form. There is a saying about housecleaning that things get messier before they get cleaner. When you put away the things on the top of the stack, you have to face the things that were covered up before you can see the nice clean countertop... Life's issues can be like too many old magazines. But what is the alternative to facing them? To live in a stupor? Piles of mess all around, growing bigger? I say, persevere, as we can. There are other solutions and other ways to make life bearable. Keep trying. Mourn if you need to, but don't spend too much precious time and energy than need be. You will need it for the road ahead. |

So you can log your weight -- which allows you to do the following:
- Plot your weight curve
- Analyze the trend of your weight (see under Recent in the figure above)
- Determine the projected target date (see under Overall in the figure above)
