Kris, a psychiatrist once said to me that you should let your anger out, as otherwise you eat food to try to push the anger down.

Could be psycho babble- but might be worth punching a cushion!

Yes I agree, punch away! better then eating away right?!

 

Go ahead and vent Kris if you want too. If you want to yell at us we can take it!

I am so grateful to have found this website, with all the support and encouragement we share here! Just writing about the angry feelings yesterday help me get over it and stay on my food plan!!

Had a great workout in the pool last night! WOW, I sure am feeling and seeing the difference these exercises are making!

Tonight I plan to take my walk after dinner before choir rehearsal. As I walk I breath more deeply, and it's helping my singing too!

I'm glad to hear venting helped you out yesterday. Sounds like you had a great work out too and a good day after all good for you

Good morning friends! I apologize for abandoning you all. I have really been discouraged in my weight loss, not exercising partly because of the pain and partly because of the fear of not being able to breathe, and my food choices have not been on track so well. I should have just stayed here and talked to you guys about it, but I didn't want to be a downer or appear to be weak. Sorry.

I'm glad to see my old friends here, and some new ones too.

Will you let me come back?

Pam,  You are being silly.  No one expects you to be any stronger than anyone else here.  Of Course you are welcome. 

I am also struggling.  My first weight gain since I started.  I gained 4 lbs. overnight.  Not happy.  Bit disconcerted.  Someone tell me "YOU HAVE TO MOVE" because I haven't been excersizing.  I'm not in the dumps...not dumpy, still hopeful, still smoke free.  It could be water, but I know I need to excersize.  Someone kick my tush.

Don't ever worry about being a downer ever! Thats what we are here for, to get  each other threw the hard times together so please dont think of not posting. Hang in there you have to look at the bigger picture look at where you started to now you have come a long way and just think a yr from now heck a month from now where you will be. You are losing when you look at it as a whole and thats what counts not the few days when you gain a lil here and there. So hang in there stay focused and you will be a bigger loser!!! Go Pam! Go Pam! Go Pam! Go Pam!

Mandango,

(Saying this as I look at you and then myself in the mirror lol) "YOU HAVE TO MOVE!" hope this helps us both lol

To all who need motivation to MOVE!!! Here's your "kick in the Butt"!!!

Whatever you can do, whenever you can do it, physical activity is a MUST not only for weight loss but for healthy living.

Oh, how I hated hearing those words!! But I only know that I have the most sucess losing, and feel the best physically and emotionally, when I make myself prioritize exercise into my schedule.

My morning walks can start my day off with energy and positive attitude, my water areobics make me feel stronger and toned. I try to stretch and move even when I'm sitting at my desk for a boring 8 hour day. Dance while I do housework! Park away from the entrance, take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to the corner store instead of driving...all those little steps count!

OK, everyone Up and get moving!!!

OK, so I needed a little reassurance. I'm human.

Today, I will get out my book again that teaches me how to eat right, and remind me of the things I need to eat and not eat and build my motivation back up. Today is a new day, that the Lord has made, and I will rejoice in it and put it to good use.

I'm not so sure about the exercise, but I will take that under advisement.

I did it!  I went outside and took the baby for a walk.  I had an afternoon appt. in town and decided to walk instead of drive.  Ahhhhhh.....I feel better!

Good job Mandy!

Awww......Thanks Pam

Very uplifting words Pam thank you

Way to go Mandango! Keep it up!

Ya all are rubbing off on me I got up and moved today!!! I hopped, bounced or whatever you want to call it on the mini trampoline and it wasnt so bad, think I will do it more often.

Tomorrow is coffee Thursday with my mom and we are also gonna go get a bite to eat at Pottbelly's we have never been there before and it sounds good I hope they have something good for you to eat I think I will chk out there web site before we go.

Have a great night all and I will chat with you all laters~

Hi Everyone,

I'm a senior in college and in January, I got on a scale and realized i was 205 lb. I have a medium frame and 5'6". Since then I've been really watching what I eat and hitting the gym at least 3 times a week (or as much as I can during midterms and finals). Today I'm at 185lb--I'm back to the weight I was when I got into college...and I hope to be at 140lb by the time graduation rolls around. Wish me luck!

Welcome Raised! What an adorable picture! College food is definitely a challenge for someone who wants to eat healthy and take off pounds. You've done a marvelous job, and I'll wager you'll reach your goal by graduation!

Glad to see I inspired some of you to Move! Sarah, I can imagine the fun of the trampoline! I had to do my walking at the Mall last evening, and what a challenge to walk briskly amongst all the window shoppers!! Many, good for you...walk, don't ride!!

Have a great day everyone!

OK, I'm confused. First of all, welcome aboard Raised. Glad to have you here with us. I am confused, though. Sue said to you, "What an adorable picture." Was she talking about the cup of coffee, or did you have another picture up there and then take it off? What do you like to be called?

Hi!!  I was wondering if I could join your group?

I am 43,  5'5",250 lbs and am set to get down to 135 by Dec 24, 2009 - I could use some shorter term goals. 

I am new to CCP and get a lot from it.  I have just started looking at the forums and the number of threads and scope of the forum is overwhelming. But I have found Ya'll to be very positive on this thread and I have enjoyed you all!!
