I know exactly how you feel! My mother in law is Puerto Rican and makes rice and potato salad at every meal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and no VEGIES! I don't think they even know what Vegies are! lol  Oh wait i am wrong she buys the frozen vegie concoctions with potatoes and cheese! not nearly enough vegatables! YUK!!! she acts like that is her contribution to healthy eating!

If I only have a small spoon of rice she acts like i just committed the ultimate sin! I will burn in Hell!LOL

she knows i am trying to eat better but i think she does it on purpose!

OMG!!!!

But it wasn't the parents I don't think

I said teens so maybe a brother or sister or something

Still doesn't say much about the parents leaving her with these teens!

what a shame!

 

Weight Loss I went for a jog for the first time ever! Apr 13 2008

I know exactly how you feel! My lungs always give out on me! I tried jogging on the treadmill at 4.5 only lasted a minute the first time then dropped it down to 3 and walked for 5 then back to 4.5. that was all I could do that day

then the next time i pushed myself to go longer and laster a full 5 minutes at 4.5 YEah I was excited. I think total jog that day on the treadmill was 15 minutes however when i jog outside on the road I can't seem to get far then i worry about neighbors seeing me give up so early and I get discouraged

Guess that's why i never go out in public to jog! Congrats i know how scary it can be to think people are looking at you blob down the street!
I say WHO CARES!!!!  and they aren't really looking at you that is just our silly lack of self confidence. Probably what made us overweight in the first place!

Congrats!

instead of oil use applesauce!

My Aunt is a health nut and everything she makes is fat free or low in fat! She has the biggest sweet tooth ever. SHe loves her desserts! She made brownies from a box and added applesauce instead of oil! It tasted really good however i think she used the cinnamon applesauce which gave the brownies a different flavor!

I don't know if this took the place of the egg too! I am sure the websites mentioned above will have something better! lol

Wow I remember those days! Big Mac and French fries was my cure for a hangover! But the best thing to eat when I am drunk is Denny's moons over my hammy! MMMMM! i totally remember those days!
Now I just eat whatever is in the house! HAHA Never dry cereal

Usually french bread with butter! lots and lots of it! needless to say that is why I am overweight!

Weight Loss Smoking and weight loss Apr 12 2008

Hi

I am new to this site but had to jump into this! I too am a smoker and want to quit! I started a new healthier "lifestyle" on Jan 2 So far down 16lbs! yeah! I started a morning workout 2 days a week! Well let me call it what it is "Sunrise BootCamp" !!!!!!  A couple of girls I work with talked me into doing this! Of course they are not overweight or smokers. Lets just say after the first class I thought i was going to throw up from all the cardio and i couldn't walk for 2 days! Was scared to death but went back and now i am 12 weeks into the program and love it!

However the first thing we do is run! My lung capacity is not what it should be and I can't keep up! I am always the last one making it back to the group! I am sure they are all very happy with me cuz while they wait for me they have to do jumping jacks! LOL  I am one of those smokers that lights up just out of bed even before coffee! horrible I know! I wake up at 5 am on the days of bootcamp Monday and wed. class is at 6. I don't smoke before the class which was hard at first. I did smoke before the 1st 2 classes and realized that wasn't working but that doesn't seem to be enough and I know its time. I am just scared to death to quit now!

My doctor also put me antidepressants the same day I started eating better. I asked him about quitting and he felt i should try to conquer one thing at a time. He felt I would be setting myself up for failure by changing too many things at once! I agree thats all i need is to fail at both!

the weight loss has been slow so maybe it wouldn't hurt too much to try!

 

Weight Loss Sexy Confidence Apr 06 2008

I have to agree with you on this one! Confidence is definitely attractive! I have struggled with my weight all of my adult life! Up and down! When I lose i gain confidence and want to get out in the world! I also notice i smile more and that does attract people! whether you want the attention or not! LOL

When I go out i see all these large women (mostly latino) and they have such and air about them they wear what they want (even thought they shouldn't) and they have their heads up high! enjoying life! I always say I want what they have! (they self confidence!)

This is something I am working on! I want to enjoy life not hide in my house or behind a big baggy shirt!

Good luck to everyone!
