It has an obese man in part 8 that is dissected. It shows the effect of what morbid obesity does to the body. There is no blood. I closed my eyes at the beginning of the dissection. The other parts are not graphic, though one does have section cut of a human body showing the fat. I did not find that shocking at all. It has the famous Dr Gunther von Hagens who created Body Worlds who performs the dissection. |

This is certainly a wake up call to all of us. This has strong physical evidence of the dangers of eating unhealthy processed foods. I'm a convert from now on. |

I've been using a belt to hold my pants up. But they sure are baggy. I've lost 25 lbs and still have about 20 lbs still to go. I know I can't wear some of my pants for much longer. Though I get a lot of comments from people noticing my weight loss. :D I went to Target and bought some exercise pants and I wear them a lot. lol I don't work, so it doesn't really matter that I wear them several days a week. I also had a girlfriend give me some jeans that she couldn't wear anymore. And I saved one smaller sized pair of black pants. So I have three pairs that fit for now :) |

Start weight on CC (June 1, 2008) 181.2 GOAL: 139 lbs (30 lbs would be 134.6)
Total Weight Loss: 12.6 lbs! Slowly but surly I'm still loosing :) I've been so screwed up in my daily schedule. I've been a bad girl by not planning ahead and making a lunch for myself and logging my calorie intake. But on the flip side I have been walking a lot and going to aerobic classes :D So I'm not doing too bad. It's just that things have slowed down a bit. I'm really proud of my self as I have lost 29.2 lbs total so far since I joined CC. I'm now 12.6 lbs from my absolute final goal (lol which is the total amount I've lost in this challenge so far..humm coincidence?). I need to loose 2 lbs per week to make the 30 lb goal. I know this is a long challenge and I hope those of you that are loosing momentum, just get back into it. You know what you need to do. JUST DO IT!! Sorry for shouting, but we all want to be losers here. hehehe I agree with deloughy don't make excuses! You've worked so hard to lose this weight. Don't give up!!! If you're bored or depressed get up and do something that removes you from that funk. Don't turn to food or the TV. Go outside, or jump in the car and drive to the gym, or jump on the treadmill. Call a friend and walk together. Only 7 more weigh-ins folks. You can do this! :D Try as hard as you can to make that 30 lbs or just do your personal best. |

Name: Betsaroonie Sorry for posting late. It's been a long week. But the good news is I did lose this week :) Yeah! I haven't been able to log anything this whole week, but things should be back to normal tomorrow. This has been my worst month in my weight loss quest. Though I haven't gained any weight. I've been mostly eating maintenance. Thanks for the challenge! Now what do I do with all this Halloween candy? We didn't get one trick-or-treater tonight :( I guess I'll send it to my DH's work. Somebody will eat it.

Name: Betsaroonie ""Sigh"" Well no change from last week, but at least I'm holding and not gaining. I was in a funk the last 3 weeks, but just a couple of days ago I was able to get myself motivated again. Hasn't been enough time to see the results of my efforts yet. I hope next week will have a positive (oops I mean negative) effect! Good luck everyone. |

If you have a playstation, try DDR (Dance dance revolution) or go to the arcades that have it. OMG it is so much fun and a great workout. It's more fun to do with friends :) I've also put on headphones and run up and down stairs. My dog runs with me and gets so excited she starts barking like crazy. It is a great cardio workout. As for the kitchen, I try to heat up some water and have a nice hot cup of joe or tea. I'm also chew gum to satisfy my sweet tooth. I agree with laura42 on going outside for a walk. Set a goal like walking 4 miles a day and stick to it. I joined a challenge here on CC to walk 4 miles a day, and I was very motivated, cause I had about 7 others that were working on the same challenge. We all supported each other and cheered each other on. Whatever you do make sure you are having fun, and mix it up a bit so you're not doing the same thing everyday. |

Hi Jason, I'm not an expert by any means, but caught my attention was your comment about huge mood swings. Have any members of your family had these same mood swings? My concern would be is if you are trying to sabotage yourself with destructive behavior. Binge and purge practices indicate an eating disorder. Along with the mood swings this may be reason for you to seek a doctor for help. Your history of smoking weed, was it to cope with problems, and a means to escape from the world? I'd listen to those who suggested you see a psychologist. Seeking help when you aren't sure about things in your life is good sound advise. A professional can help put things in perspective. If you're still in school, you can take advantage of the school psychologist to help you. Many people seek a doctor's care when they are struggling with things. You've taken the first step by asking for help on this site. Good luck
I hope this helps. |

I take thyroid meds too, but I take it just before bed at night. You're supposed to take it on an empty stomach. Maybe switch when you take them. It could be that you don't eat enough in the morning and that could make you feel queezy. You wouldn't have to eat much. Yogurt would be a good choice as it has natural enzymes for your stomach. Ginger also calms the stomach. Ginger tea or candied ginger would be good. I too think that looking out the window would help. Try these things and see if it helps. Good luck. |

I wasn't able to weigh myself until this morning, but for not giving much effort this week, I still lost 2.2 lbs! Go figure? Up until this last couple of weeks, I've been very driven on my weight loss. My goal has been to get healthy. Weight loss has been the reward for my new lifestyle. I had been in a funk for 2 weeks and I've finally moved through it. I'm ready to get back on the bandwagon and work towards eating healthy and exercising 5x per week. Challenges really help me stay on target. It's very fulfilling to know that there are others here in CC land that want the same as me :D I am proud of myself for not gaining weight while on hiatus. I still had my goal in mind, I just wasn't logging what I was eating. deloughy have a great time at Disney World. I'm jealous! |

Name: Betsaroonie This week I went up than down in weight and actually I lost 1.8 lbs, but because of the dates of weigh-in I came up with only .6 lbs lost. Oh well. It really doesn't matter, cause I know I'm doing good. Any weight loss is good, no matter how big or small. There has already been some impressive weight loss in this challenge already. Way to go everyone! Restless_girl could you add up all the weight loss for this week when everyone posts their numbers? It would be fun to see how much our group has lost. |

Ugh! I was down to 156.2 for several days than I went back up to 157.4. So this week no change. I've been bad these last few days and not as motivated since I've started CC. I hate being in a funk. :( |

I wanted to change the way I was living my life, from an unhealthy lifestyle to a healthy lifestyle. I went to the doctor for a physical a few months back, and didn't like what I was hearing. Blood sugar was high, blood pressure was higher than normal, weight was just under obese, had early signs of diverticulitis, and I just felt like crap. I also didn't like what I saw in the mirror. So that was it, I wanted to change what I was eating and exercise on a more regular basis. I was searching on the Internet for information on calorie counting and accidentally found this site. It changed my life for the better. I have found so much information here as well as great support. I love the CC community! I log all my food. On the days that I eat out, I either try to guess what the calories are, but if I can't I call it a free day and only eat half the food. I exercise 5x a week, either walking, jogging, or aerobics. I try to mix things up to keep it interesting. I join challenges to share with others and get/give support. I zigzag my calories, but average around 1400-1500 calories. I increase my food on days that I have a hard workout, and eat less on the days I don't exercise. I am rarely hungry, I always carry a snack with me just in case I get hungry. I eat 5-6 meals a day, so I don't binge at all. I always set my daily goal of calorie intake, and stick to that plan if I can. I've lost 25 lbs in 4 months. It feels great, and I love the attention I get from my friends and family :) I am just really focused on being good to myself. I never deprive myself. I still have those sweet treats, but not the super size servings. I've given up somethings, ice cream, alcohol, fried foods, and most fast foods. My health goal is just so much more important than stuffing my face! And one thing I do that really works for me, is I weigh myself everyday. I know they say to only weigh yourself weekly, but I see it as a daily reminder. Sometimes it goes up but most of the time it goes down (I love it when it goes down hehe!) |

Hi everyone! I wanna join too. I need to be in challenges to make me feel I'm not alone in this quest to a new and healthier life. I've been a member of CC since June 1, 2008 and I've lost 25 lbs so far. I'm entering my intake everyday (for the most part) eating 1200-1500 calories, and exercising 5x per week. My weight loss has been steady and easy. I thought it would be a lot harder than it as been to loose the weight, but CC and all the great support here has really motivated me :) Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone, I just had to share! I'm so excited! I've lost 25 lbs! It's been 4 months since I've started, and I've been a looser from the start. For once in my life being a looser is a winner! :D I'm past my half-way point, and I'm almost (just by .2 lbs) in my normal range of weight. I can't wait to have a normal BMI. Oh and I down 2 dress sizes! Being a looser is normal! LOL |
