| The Lounge | What did your parents do RIGHT? | May 08 2009 20:04 (UTC) |
10 |
My parents have and still do many right things by us kids. But the thing I appreciate the most was the way they keep us together as a family and that there is nothing in this world more important than family. I am very lucky to have they family I have. We are always there for one another, and I don't just mean my parent and siblings, it also extends to my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. They also showed us how a marriage should be. I have always been able to say that my parents love and respect each other, and that is an awsome thing for any child to have even as an adult. |

| The Lounge | worst insult you ever got because of your weight.... | May 07 2009 12:34 (UTC) |

At my work there is this woman who I think takes pleasure in the fact that i am overweight. Every now and then she will say little things about how she can't believe I go to the gym or when at lunch i am eating carrots or an apple she'll say "go for you" in a tone that's not that nice. At first I thought i was just making it out to be something more than it is but one day i was talking about my husband who is a runner and teaches tae kwon do and she says to me "why would you two be together with him being so healthy and athletic?" WTF

weigh in day previous weight 225 today 224 total loss 6 I don't know is i actually lost that weight though. I have been sick with the flu the past 4days and haven't done anything but lay in bed. I'm pretty mad at myself because this is the first year i didn't get my flu shot in about 6 years. I don't really even know why i didn't. I work in a hospital so they really push us to get it and have several chances for us to get it. Oh well... you live you learn. At least my kids haven't come down with it. I usually workout today, but I don't have the energy to go, it took all my energy to come to work. so I'll have to wait until thrusday. everyone is doing so great. keep up the great work. |

hey everybody. it's weigh in day. previous weight 226 todays weight 225 total lost 5 lbs. I have know idea how I lost any weight. I should have gained. I ate everything I could get my hands on. oops. that seems to happen when I have my period. Does anyone else want to eat everything in the house when they are on their's? I did work out, and even added some weight training. my butt and thighs are still a little sore. I hope everyone has a great week. I think this should be an easy week for me. my work schedule is more normal again. at least until next week. oh well I need to plan better when my schedule gets crazy. welcome everyone who is new. congrats to everyone with their losses keep up the great work. |

sorry I've been MIA for awhile. work has been really crazy. anyway I'm late on my weigh in so here it is previous 226 today 226 it sucks. but at least I didn't gain any weight. next week will be better. just got to stick with it. cmiller- there is this great stretching book I have. It's called "stretching". it's been around awhile and has really great groupings for certain sports and specifc problems. alieajo- turning 30 isn't as bad as it seems. I turned 30 last year and I was having a hard time with it before my b-day, but as soon as it came I didn't seem to care anymore. So far I think 30 is a great age. good luck |

| Weight Loss | Hypothyriodism?? Does anyone have it? | Jan 12 2008 23:46 (UTC) |

| I had a mass on my thyroid about 4 years ago and because of treatment it knocked out my thyroid and have to take synthriod now. I've never noticed a difference as far as weight gain or loss and it took awhile to get the dose right for me. I have to say though recently I ran out of my script and just wasn't taking it ( bad bad me) I figured I was going to wait till I saw my doc. but i did notice a huge difference in my energy level, i was seriously sluggish, then my mom yelled at me for not telling my doc and I have started back on it. I have to say I've seen a huge difference in a fairly short time span. As for your question I think the meds don't nessarlly speed up your medablism just puts it into a more normal state, so not eating isn't going to make the meds kick in and vise versa if you eat it dosen't. let me know what your doc say and I will ask my to when I go and see him in a couple of weeks. | |||

| tlm1242: I've had a similar issue with someone who I could't stand. I'm a very competitive person. She was doing a bunch of different stuff to try to get thin and talked all the time about what she was doing and maybe I should try her ideas and it drove me up a wall. I finally realized that for me it wasn't all about getting thin.. it's about being healthy and trying to compete with her was just making me an angry person, so instead I kept telling myself good for her for trying to loss weight, stop trying to compare yourself. I don't work with her anymore so that really helps. Stick to it. I know you can do it. I know I can do it. and with everyone's help here we will. emm | |||

monkeymind: welcome to the club! I am new to this site to it seems like a good one. you should believe in yourself because you can do it. I feel the same way you do I know all the things I should do, but it just seemed I didn't do it. I am using the site to be accountable to. pouncer: awesome job. as for the calories you should spread them out to keep your metabolism up, I've read you should try to eat every three-four hrs. I think that can be tough to do sometimes, especially at work. anyway keep up the great job. I hope I can at least lose a pound this week, It's been a rough one for me.

hey everybody. I hope everyone is doing well. cmiller: I do stretching at home everyday twice a day because of a bad back. it helps my back muscles stay loose. My kids love to do that with me, and it is a riot to watch them. I hope your son has a great birthday party. It sounds like you are doing great. have a great weekend

hey manta that is awesome congrats on fitting into your pre preg pants. emily g. I know what you mean about being tall. I'm 6' tall. When I lose 10lbs noboby notices because I have some much surface area to take it from. on the other hand I could gain ten pounds and very few would notice. I hope everyone has a great day tomorrow. emm |

hey welcome newbies. I'm happy to have as many people as possible to work together to do this. On another note... Does anyone else feel guilty about going to workout and losing out on that time I could spend with the kids. Today is one of my usually days to go to the gym after work. My husband and I have a little system on which days I can make it to the gym. (my husband owns a martial arts/boxing club and teaches class 3 nights a week) I work full time 10hrs/day 4day/wk and today was tough for me to get myself to go instead of just going home after work. I can't afford to miss my gym days and I know in the long run my kids are better off with me being healthy. Today my son fell at daycare flat on his face and broke a front tooth, I couldn't get out of work so my husband took him to the dentist I just felt so guilty I should have been the one to take him and then I didn't even come straight home after work, I went to the gym. anyway I feel really bad about it. my son is fine and there was no damage to the root. anyway sorry to dump all of this on you guys, but does anyone else feel this way sometimes. emm |

| cmiller, i to worry about my daughter trying to fit into some box that society has made up. I am always tring to set a good example for her and try not to show that I'm uncomfortable with my body. I remember when I was in high school thinking I was such much bigger than all the other girls and hating it. I look back now and realize that I was so not fat I just happened to be taller than all the girls and alot of the guys in my school. At 6' tall I was never going to weigh 120lbs and be a size 4. I look back now and realize that I was actually smoking hot at 17. So now that I've grown to love my height I hope that my daughter will see that cuz chances are she is going to be tall too. emm | |||

Hi everybody. WELCOME Shelle, Diane and Laura, any of you can add me as a buddy and I will do the same. that goes for everybody. well last nights dinner really was not good for the calorie counting. Sweet n sour chicken CHINA KING takeout, I was very good though. I only ate about 1/3 of it and my husband ate the rest. And then I ate some candy while we watched a movie. today I am doing great. first thing this morning I took my dog for a walk and then later I went to the gym and had a great workout. for both my breakfast and lunch I was able to keep calories reasonable. I think I am going to make some soup for dinner, I love soup so if anyone has any great and easy recipes let me know. I am very lucky that my kids love their veggies, well most of them ( brussels sprouts not so much). have a great day ladies. emm
