You think about you SIL in that hospital bed and the long road she has to get better. You think about your family, and what you and they would miss if you were not around. Most importantly you think about yourself, you are worth it, you deserve to be happy and healthy. Think how much better you feel now than when you were carrying around that weight you lost. There are a million reasons to put the brownie back down but not nearly as many to eat it''''''''''''''''''''''''''''the gospel according to Dawn

Carolina Girl · 06-10-2007, 04:16 PM

Hey Girls,

Hope all is going well for all of you. I've not been around the last few days because I have been so bad. I'm up 4 lbs now. I'm so bored w/ the food choices. I'm not a cook so looking at the recipe section doesn't help.

You all may disown me, but I have to mix this up some or I'm going to gain back all I've lost. I'm going to low fat tomorrow. I need the change. I need cereal, fruit, potatoes, and bread back in my diet - at least for awhile. I'm also going to try the new diet pill, Alli, when it comes on the market Friday. If you're not familiar w/ Alli, it is an over the counter pill recently approved by the FDA that blocks fat. You have to eat low fat or the side effects or horrible. You're suppose to lose much faster taking it.

Give me some feedback please.

Carolina Girl · 06-10-2007, 04:19 PM

Jazlyn, I see you are on line now. Hope you check this thread. How is your SIL? My prayers are with you both. Is she over-weight and if so how much?

chicky · 06-10-2007, 08:03 PM

Don't be silly, we would never disown you. Do what you need to do to get your eating under control. Jazlyn hope your SIL is doing OK, keep in touch both of you, Carolinagirl I don't care what or how your eating, keep in touch

Jazlyn · 06-11-2007, 08:22 AM

Caroline girl, my SIL is maybe 15 to 20 lbs overweight. She took a turn for the worse yesterday and we are thinking she may not make it. I'm too sick about it to think about eating.

I am so very sorry. Best wishes for you SIL.

Jazlyn · 06-12-2007, 06:52 AM

Good morning everyone,

I'm down 5 lbs this week. I'm almost back to my siggy weight lol. I still need to start exercizing though. My problem is that I'm home all day so I keep putting it off until I'm too tired. Someone smack me.

momof3heathens · 06-13-2007, 12:08 AM

SMACK. Now your turn. I have the same exact problem. I actually got rid of my dining table as we never sat at it anyhow and in its place are a treadmill, stationary bike and a recumbant bike which I probably have used a total of maybe 15 times in the last 3 months.

Well there is good news though. I am back down to my lowest weight yet since starting this woe. 265lbs. Also I went bra shopping today and actually fit into more than one style. Had to choose as I am limited in funds. I started off at 48DD and now am into a 40C.

Carolina Girl · 06-13-2007, 05:36 AM

Good Morning All!

Today is the first day of my summer vacation. I'm thrilled to have a break for awhile. I start my low fat WOE today. I've been a pig for about 2 weeks so today is the day. I'm excited about starting something new for the summer.

Congrats momof3 on the new lowest weight and the new bra size. That's awesome.

Jazlyn: I'm still thinking of your SIL. Keep us informed. Congrats on the 5 lb loss. I understand the exercise problem. Getting into a routine is so very hard.

Thanks to everyone for understanding my need for a change in my diet. I'll keep you all informed.

More later. Have a great day.

Jazlyn · 06-13-2007, 04:18 PM

My SIL is doing better..YAY! She still isn't stable enough to move to the Salt Lake City hospital like they want to though.

I have eaten on plan all day, walked on the treadmill, AND I have been drinking water all day. Water is a biggie for me. I think I'm back in the groove girls!

Carolina Girl · 06-14-2007, 08:05 AM

Good for you Jazlyn! Keep up the good work. You can do it.

I'm glad your SIL is improving. I pray she continues to do better each day.

Heading to the beach today. More later.

Jazlyn · 06-14-2007, 09:20 AM

Good morning,

Have a fun day a the beach Carolina Girl!

I'm down 6.5 lbs and really motivated. I had my house clean, my son off to day camp, and my back yard mowed (we have one of those push mowers with no motor so it's quite a work out) by 9 am.

Now I'm sitting here wondering what to do. I should be on the treadmill but I need a little rest after the lawn mower work out.

My 7 yo is at day camp, my daughter is gone for a few days working for habitat for humanity (she will be back tonight) and my oldest son and husband are working. I'm home all by my lonesome.

No new news on my SIL. We may try to go visit her this evening. It's sort of useless because we just sit there and watch her lay there. But I guess it makes us feel better in a way, like we are being supportive.

momof3heathens · 06-14-2007, 10:02 AM

Darn it all. I am up 4lbs again. Probably what I ate 2-3 days ago. Always seems to happen to me at least. I should know better too. I fool myself into thinking that what I ate wasn't too bad because the scale doesn't show any gain the next day and then continue on eating the same way as the day previously. Even if it all lowcarb choices I still eat way too much. Now I have to be extra careful in order not to completely blow it.

Congrats on that 6.5 lbs loss. That is great. How often do you weigh yourself? I am starting to think that I was doing much better when I only had access to a scale weekly rather than daily.

Jazlyn · 06-14-2007, 09:02 PM

I weigh myself everyday. I can't help it. I'm a scale addict.

Carolina Girl · 06-15-2007, 05:51 PM

Good Evening All,

The day at the beach yesterday was greated but I got burned! Inside for me for a while.

I bought Alli today and have started a low fat diet. So far no side effects. I think I ate too much at dinner tonight. I have to start watching portion size!

Congrats on the loss and exercise Jazlyn. You are doing super. Keep us informed on the SIL. You said she was improving. Is this still true? Can she talk to you all yet?

Momof 3, Sorry about the gain. I, too, am up. I hope this mix up w/ the diet will help me to start losing again.

I'm thinking about going to Curves. Any one have experience with it?

More later. Ta.

momof3heathens · 06-15-2007, 08:22 PM

Tonight is going to be hard. I just figured out that I am probably craving stuff due to ovulation time. My dd's are having their birthday party tonight and there are a bunch of preteens and teenagers munching on chips and pop. I found a bag of pork rinds under the kitchen cupboard and already have had that. I am kind of mad about them pigging out on junk because I made a nice roast beef dinner for the girls to have before their party but because of all the extra running around they did they don't have time to eat it before they go swimming tonight. So I am kind of peeved right now and in a munching mood too. I bought a small cream cheese to make a couple of those creamcheese chocolate thingys in case, who am I kidding, when I want something tonight. I can also make some lowcarb hot chocolate too.

Please I need some major good vibes to get through this.

Curves: I don't go but my step mom does and absolutely loves it. She started off quite a bit out of shape so I think that makes a difference. If you are already exercising or actually have any shape to start off with I think it might be a bit too mild,imo.

Jazlyn · 06-16-2007, 06:44 AM

Good morning,

Carolinagirl, we went to see my SIL Thurs. afternoon and she looked up at us and said Hi Jana (that's my real name) Then my husband was holding her hand and she let go and grabbed my hand. She kept squeezing it. It was a vast improvement over the last time we saw her. Thanks for asking about her.

I walked on the treadmill yesterday and then went on a bike ride with my family and my aunt and uncle. I couldn't keep up with them but I made it all of the way. My legs were like noodles the rest of the night. It was way harder than the treadmill. I guess it works different muscles that I'm not used to. We are supposed to go again tonight.

I didn't lose any weight this morning but I am retaining water. I can't even get my wedding ring off. But then TOM is here and I did eat a few salty pumpkin seeds last night.

Momof3heathens...you can do this! Look how far you have come. I am sending good vibes your way.

momof3heathens · 06-16-2007, 10:05 PM

Thank you. Managed to not even eat one chip. However have been over enduldging in the lower carb stuff so really need to recommit again.

Carolina Girl · 06-17-2007, 07:51 AM

I was down 1 1/2 pounds this morning. I feel great. I'm going tomorrow to check out Curves. Got to get this body moving. I'm slowly getting off what I gained binging. No side effects so far w/ Alli. I am enjoying low fat right now. It is a great change in food for me.

Jazlyn, glad you SIL is improving. It will be long and hard road to recovery for her. I'm glad she has you in her corner. Congrats on the exercise. It is hard work but worth it.

Momof 3, Wow you passed up all the junk food. You are a strong person. Keep it up!!!

Where is everyone else in our group?

More later.

I am & need a buddy or the plural. I am a swinger. :blush

Swinging from Atkins to Kimmers until I can get some harmony. Its been 10 days. I could eat the bark off a tree. I don't know if I'm hungry or just confused. I've been in a fog lately. I almost ate some carbs completely not thinking. I refuse to cook or be in the kitchen during the day. I quickly clean it up & throw away all leftovers. I am an extremist. I must do this til that day comes when I feel control. Usually after I start to see results. There are times when I feel so fierce but then that sneaky urge comes over me & I have to stand in front of the mirror with no blouse on, that usually scares me straight.

Welcome aboard.

Yesterday I started back on induction level carbs and let me tell you the headache was so intense. I didn't think just several days of eating more carbs(not bad ones) could really do me in like this. I was headachy, crampy and *****y all day yesterday. Didn't help that the idiot sperm donor doesn't bother to come over to see the kids on Fathers Day and when he eventually does call at 10pm and my son says Happy Fathers Day he says "That really doesn't mean anything to me anymore". He really upset the kids. Madi had made him a card and paper tie and Will really struggles to even like his dad at times so it took a lot for him to even say HFD and then he gets dissed like that.

oh2bfitagain · 06-18-2007, 11:37 PM

Okay, here's your smack! If u don't feel like doing anything, just go outside for whatever reason & breathe for a while. It has actually helped me to move just getting physically out of the house.

forget about the sperm donor as much as possible, so as not to distract you. Concentrate on the good thing u're doing for u & your kids. Let him fade.

momof3heathens · 06-19-2007, 12:21 AM

Headache wasn't too bad today. Ex came over today newly medicated. I hate it when he waits until is a super butthead then sees a doctor once he gets everyone in his life angry with him. He doesn't just behave this way with us but even people in his day to day dealings. He behaves like a spoiled baby everytime some one benefits before he does.

Anyhow I know how it is just getting out of the house. I don't know why I put it off the way I do. I love going out and feeling the fresh air on me no matter whether it going for a walk or even taking a bus if need be. I do believe part of the reason is that I feel that I need an actual destination/reason to go out ie: to buy something or return something. I feel like I need to accomplish something other than getting some exercise otherwise I think I have wasted my time and could have been doing something more productive. Sadly I wouldn't have been doing anything at home either but I guess I am thinking I am passing up the opportunity to be doing something.

Jazlyn · 06-19-2007, 06:33 AM

Good morning,

Welcome oh2befitagain. Glad to have you.

I was up 3 lbs yesterday and I'm the same today. It is really depressing because I have not been off plan at all and I have been exercizing. I have been drinking a lot more water than usual but maybe I need to keep track. I might not be getting enough.

Momof3heathens, sorry to hear about stupid sperm donor. Don't let the stress of it all make you go off plan. Boys have cooties anyway.

My husband is being a lot nicer. We had a rough stretch there for a while. I still think he is going through a midlife crisis. I bought him some St Johns Wort and some DHEA and it seems to be helping.

I hope everyone has a great, on plan day.

Carolina Girl · 06-19-2007, 06:53 AM

Good Morning All and Welcome Oh2. The more the merrier.

Momof3: I'm w/ you on the sperm doner. My ex is vacationing in my area and showed up at my house last night- uninvited. I couldn't believe it. It was nice to see that he has gotten gray, fat, and balding. He always put me down because of my weight.

Jazlyn: Weight varies from day to day. Don't beat yourself up. Keep on keeping on. You'll get where you want to be.

I joined Curves yesterday. The workout was great. I'm so proud of me. I'm actually going to exercise.

Have a great day all.

Jazlyn · 06-19-2007, 07:15 AM

Carolinagirl, I used to belong to curves and I loved it. I quit because they moved it clear across town and it used to be just up the street from me. That is where I got my good start and lost my first 30 lbs though.

Carolina Girl · 06-20-2007, 07:47 AM

Going to Curves today for my 2nd session. I'm looking forward to it. I know this is the "Honeymoon" stage and pray I will continue after that stage has passed. Went for a long walk yesterday on the beach, but was up 1/2 lb this morning. That's depressing but I will continue on and look for a loss tomorrow.

Good luck to all today. We can and will do this!!!

Inside for me for a while. I bought Alli today and have started a low fat diet. So far no side effects. I think I ate too much at dinner tonight. I have to start watching portion size! Congrats on the loss and exercise Jazlyn. You are doing super. Keep us informed on the SIL. You said she was improving. Is this still true? Can she talk to you all yet? Momof 3, Sorry about the gain. I, too, am up. I hope this mix up w/ the diet will help me to start losing again. I'm thinking about going to Curves. Any one have experience with it? More later. Ta.

I just figured out that I am probably craving stuff due to ovulation time. My dd's are having their birthday party tonight and there are a bunch of preteens and teenagers munching on chips and pop. I found a bag of pork rinds under the kitchen cupboard and already have had that. I am kind of mad about them pigging out on junk because I made a nice roast beef dinner for the girls to have before their party but because of all the extra running around they did they don't have time to eat it before they go swimming tonight. So I am kind of peeved right now and in a munching mood too. I bought a small cream cheese to make a couple of those creamcheese chocolate thingys in case, who am I kidding, when I want something tonight. I can also make some lowcarb hot chocolate too. Please I need some major good vibes to get through this. Curves: I don't go but my step mom does and absolutely loves it. She started off quite a bit out of shape so I think that makes a difference. If you are already exercising or actually have any shape to start off with I think it might be a bit too mild,imo.

Join Date: Feb 2004 Posts: 2,315 Gallery: Jazlyn Stats: 290/243/160	Good morning, Carolinagirl, we went to see my SIL Thurs. afternoon and she looked up at us and said Hi Jana (that's my real name) Then my husband was holding her hand and she let go and grabbed my hand. She kept squeezing it. It was a vast improvement over the last time we saw her. Thanks for asking about her. I walked on the treadmill yesterday and then went on a bike ride with my family and my aunt and uncle. I couldn't keep up with them but I made it all of the way. My legs were like noodles the rest of the night. It was way harder than the treadmill. I guess it works different muscles that I'm not used to. We are supposed to go again tonight. I didn't lose any weight this morning but I am retaining water. I can't even get my wedding ring off. But then TOM is here and I did eat a few salty pumpkin seeds last night. Momof3heathens...you can do this! Look how far you have come. I am sending good vibes your way.

I feel great. I'm going tomorrow to check out Curves. Got to get this body moving. I'm slowly getting off what I gained binging. No side effects so far w/ Alli. I am enjoying low fat right now. It is a great change in food for me. Jazlyn, glad you SIL is improving. It will be long and hard road to recovery for her. I'm glad she has you in her corner. Congrats on the exercise. It is hard work but worth it. Momof 3, Wow you passed up all the junk food. You are a strong person. Keep it up!!! Where is everyone else in our group? More later.

Ex came over today newly medicated. I hate it when he waits until is a super butthead then sees a doctor once he gets everyone in his life angry with him. He doesn't just behave this way with us but even people in his day to day dealings. He behaves like a spoiled baby everytime some one benefits before he does. Anyhow I know how it is just getting out of the house. I don't know why I put it off the way I do. I love going out and feeling the fresh air on me no matter whether it going for a walk or even taking a bus if need be. I do believe part of the reason is that I feel that I need an actual destination/reason to go out ie: to buy something or return something. I feel like I need to accomplish something other than getting some exercise otherwise I think I have wasted my time and could have been doing something more productive. Sadly I wouldn't have been doing anything at home either but I guess I am thinking I am passing up the opportunity to be doing something.

Jazlyn MAJOR LCF POSTER! Join Date: Feb 2004 Posts: 2,315 Gallery: Jazlyn Stats: 290/243/160	Good morning, Welcome oh2befitagain. Glad to have you. I was up 3 lbs yesterday and I'm the same today. It is really depressing because I have not been off plan at all and I have been exercizing. I have been drinking a lot more water than usual but maybe I need to keep track. I might not be getting enough. Momof3heathens, sorry to hear about stupid sperm donor. Don't let the stress of it all make you go off plan. Boys have cooties anyway. My husband is being a lot nicer. We had a rough stretch there for a while. I still think he is going through a midlife crisis. I bought him some St Johns Wort and some DHEA and it seems to be helping. I hope everyone has a great, on plan day.

The more the merrier. Momof3: I'm w/ you on the sperm doner. My ex is vacationing in my area and showed up at my house last night- uninvited. I couldn't believe it. It was nice to see that he has gotten gray, fat, and balding. He always put me down because of my weight. Jazlyn: Weight varies from day to day. Don't beat yourself up. Keep on keeping on. You'll get where you want to be. I joined Curves yesterday. The workout was great. I'm so proud of me. I'm actually going to exercise. Have a great day all.

I quit because they moved it clear across town and it used to be just up the street from me. That is where I got my good start and lost my first 30 lbs though.

I'm looking forward to it. I know this is the "Honeymoon" stage and pray I will continue after that stage has passed. Went for a long walk yesterday on the beach, but was up 1/2 lb this morning. That's depressing but I will continue on and look for a loss tomorrow. Good luck to all today. We can and will do this!!!
