199 And Counting Down... Cassy's New Story

[cinderelly]

I started redrinking crystal light not too long ago I was having issues with getting ym water in, so i restarted with the the crystal lite, I also like the sweeten kool aid stuff tha tis sugar free....it is yummy and sweet and like a treat, i use that to get off of pop, lol...thankfully being sick has helped me there, othre than the odd slush I havent touched caffine for awhile...

I started taking these vit suppliments called eat your voots.They are round tarts candy pucks, two per serving and yummmy.I paid 9 bucks for them and i get 12 packages an adult dose is 2 pakcs a day i eat one cuz i use it as a suppliment...just to top me off.They are yummy and cant beat the price...I ahve a hard time finding the perfect vitamin, i was taking a gym class and this personal trainer told me a good way to tell if your vit is good and doing it job...put it in some vinager and see how long it takes to dissolve it should dissolve within a few minutes, mine took all day, LOL.That was the woman's one a day, so those are bad

I also bought the slim fast shake powder for the same reasons, to suppliment me for my vits and mins as i know i dont get enough nutrition...I really dont take care of myself and working nights is a kick in my assLOL

Let us know how the bathroom action goes...I was never so happy to pee as much as i was the other day, lol

Ugh it's frustrating trying to find just the right everything... you want just the right amount of water the right kind and amount of exersize and food and then theres the right suppliments/vitamins. you want to do the best you can for your body but its hard to know just what that is without being an expert lol... if only my body and I could have a conversation in english... what a beautiful thing that would be! if i could take a suppliment and my body just said meh... that one wasnt very good, maybe you should try this one... that would be sweet

 

[Curvie Girlie]

So I guess it's been decided that I'm no longer going to take the birth controll pill since every time I stop taking it i seem to rock the scale... not to mention I noticed it killing my sexdrive which just isn't good for my health... i don't know about anyone elses health but definitely not good for mine lol

WORD--it was the same for me until I got ParaGard in 2006--the copper IUD. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

I'm not one to fish for compliments or anything I just want someone who doesn't necessarily know I'm trying to lose weight to say "hey have you lost weight?"... i'd just like to know that all my efforts are actually visible to someone...

My coworker, who is technically obese, started dieting a few months ago and has lost 30 pounds. I noticed, but didn't say anything for a while because I didn't want to offend her. I had no idea what was going on in her head, maybe she wanted people to notice, too......

you want to do the best you can for your body but its hard to know just what that is without being an expert

Hey Cassy--don't fret. Weight it BIZARRE and as long as you KNOW you haven't over-eaten to make a weight gain, the weird weigh-in will dissipate back to your low point. I track my cycle religiously and I notice serious trends that I have to take into account. In a given 26 day period, my weight can fluctuate 7 pounds, and it's really hard to say "WHAT THE FUCK IS THE REAL WEIGHT?!?!?!?" Hang in there!

I was thinking about the IUD since its really the only other thing you dont have to think about so much but I just can't fathem having a foreign object in my body at all times... and it looks so invasive. i know a lot of people use them with lots of success and without a second thought, but I don't think that would sit well with me lol

yeah there are probably lots of reasons why no one says anything, thats okay though... I just can't wait for the baby shower when I get to see pictures of me actually taken by other people... those are the ones that tell all...plus on the guilty side a lot of my friends have gained a lot of weight since highschool when i gained all my weight through pregnancy so I wont be the fat one out... they might actually make me look good... I know it's evil but damn it, its time!

yeah I know all these things in my head... but you know me, everythings cool till its out of my hands then, CHAOS LOL
I'm better now though I spent all morning peeing every ten minutes so I'm going to assume thats my body letting out all the water weight ive been holding on to. I weighed in this afternoon at 194.8 so by tomorrow afternoon I'm thinking i should be back to where I was or plus some of whatever i worked off during the week as I was gaining water.
I'm just glad I made it through without having any crazy breakdowns... probably because I'm not on the pill and have been a much nicer, more sain person lol

 

[MotherOf2]

Oh good lord my body is achy! Mostly my lower body, my ass, the back of my thighs, and even my shins? I think today I'll be sticking to an upper body workout...
As for my weight I woke up to 194.2 so i'm guess it will probably be a little lower by this afternoon but we'll see... i'm just glad to not be looking at old numbers I thought I was done with, again! lol I hope I dont have to do this every month... but at least next time i'll know whats up

 

[Blancita]

Hey girl . Next month your weight may go up again, but it will be lower than it was at its high this time. Does that make sense? I tend to range by 3 lbs in any given week. However, when I lost my 30 lbs I was always trending down, even when I went up my highs were lower than the previous week. I am so glad for you that you're back down and also that you're emotions are better than when you were on the pill. I agree about the IUD, I had the Meridia, which emits fake progesterone (called progestin) and at the time I thought that was the cause of my troubles but not so sure now. However, I just dont like the idea of being on any fake hormones since I know how important hormones are in properly running our system. I researched the IUD curvie is on but didn't like what I was reading, apparently the copper creates a weird environment that's not conducive implantation of an egg. However, I didn't like the idea of creating a weird chemically created environment in my uterus. I just feel natural is better, but of course getting preggers would be a bitch as well. Ugh.

I didnt read a whole lot into it just know a foreign object doesnt sound like a good plan to me... especially one that reminds me of a fish hook :S... I would like to stay natural at least for a little while to see how it effects my body but at the same time theres that extra worry now. even though were using condoms for now and i have a general idea when i would be ovulating based on a very consistent cycle i've had my whole life and that i notice a mucus change and strangly enough I think i feel it happening too... but we dont use them from beginning to end, just when it gets close to umm the conclusion lol wich is not a good idea... its a difficult transition from never using one in our entire relationship and suddenly using them all the time... I definately need to make up my mind soon though lol
About the weight gain do you find you experience it during ovulation AND your period? I dont so much find that I gain much during my period but i do stall for a week... then now my first time ovulating in like a year and a half since my last pregnancy i stalled then gained like 3 1/2 lbs for about a week and a half.

 

[Blancita]

I dont seem to have any change in my cycle, but maybe I'm just not tracking well. Only thing I know is my weight never goes down WAH. If you get the Pearly ovulation detector that I have, you will know for sure within 2 days of ovulation and then for the rest of the month you wont need a condom.

yeah i mentioned it to my hubby and he did not seem all that thrilled about it...mostly price wise I think (were trying to save up for a $2500 puppy so spending money is like out of the question at the moment lol).. I could to the whole thermometer calendar thing but it was enough trying to just remember to take 2 seconds to take my pill every day lol... Ugh it all seems like so much work!lol sounds kind of funny coming from someone who puts so much effort into completely changing her life...
sigh... theres got to be an safe, easy, cheap and effective way to do this... now I sound like one of those magic diet pill hunters...but i dont think it exists

 

[MotherOf2]

I'm hanging out at a nice 193 today. Finally woke up this morning not in crazy pain so I actually did my running this morning even though it nearly killed me :S lol defintately sticking to the 2 minutes at a time for next week as well... hopefully tomorrow i wont wake up as sore as i did from the first run... though i supposed it could have been the yoga that did it too... Does anyone else try to take it easy when theyre extremely achy from a workout or does everyone just push through it anyway? I'm wondering if i'm just a weinie but i kind of think if my body is sore i should let it heal before I do it again

 

[Curvie Girlie]

I understand, because that's how I felt!!! I just got used to it, and in the end it worked out. It actually took my body 2 years to get used to it. Still, I have said "BEST INVENTION EVER!" on numerous occasions It's just so nice to be able to ovulate AND not worry about getting knocked up .

yeah there are probably lots of reasons why no one says anything, thats okay though... I just can't wait for the baby shower when I get to see pictures of me actually taken by other people... those are the ones that tell all...plus on the guilty side a lot of my friends have gained a lot of weight since highschool when i gained all my weight through pregnancy so I wont be the fat one out... they might actually make me look good... I know it's evil but damn it, its time!

Mwah ha hah haa! I found that the more slim and in shape I got, the more generous I was, mentally, with my skinny friends. HA! I think I was resentful when I was larger, perhaps that's the way it goes--or maybe it's all this Buddhist stuff I'm learning, who knows!

WORD! Also, I recommend YOGA of course I'm a much better person since I've been practicing most days of the week, I found--I have more patience and empathy and I don't get mad at people. Unless I'm driving, haha!

 

[Curvie Girlie]

193?!?!?! ​

​

Is that a new low?

 

[cinderelly]

Hey you, i saw 193 on you your ticker...good stuff...Im gonna go back to boot camp for sure on Wednesdays cuz it is the cardio day...BLAH work on my running, my boot camp friend has found her running pace and can now run continuilly and she is liek 100 lbs more than me, i wanna run with her to see if I can get a pace down and figure it out.

I think I want to try and start running with the wii too.

I d/ld the thingy and tried using it but think i need some help, lol.I want the Beyond Basics that you gotThere is some other Yoga I wanna look up too...

I need some help and a lesson, if ya dont mind.

i was also wondering , do you have msn messenger or yahoo, do you do that...

If so my yahoo is sinderelly13@yahoo.com and my msn account is in my profile...would love to add you if you have it, we seem to be online alot at the same times...

I've thought about trying it and if i dont like it I could just remove it... but i dont know if i could actually build up enough courage to do it lol

Mwah ha hah haa! I found that the more slim and in shape I got, the more generous I was, mentally, with my skinny friends. HA! I think I was resentful when I was larger, perhaps that's the way it goes--or maybe it's all this Buddhist stuff I'm learning, who knows!?

I think it goes with the whole the more you love yourself the more capable you are of loveing others type thing... it's hard to be happy for someone else when the the evil litte person inside is like ... bitch... lol

WORD! Also, I recommend YOGA of course I'm a much better person since I've been practicing most days of the week, I found--I have more patience and empathy and I don't get mad at people. Unless I'm driving, haha!

ha ha ha yeah i've been into yoga a lot more lately and I agree with its calming effects... it's hard to be bitchy when your calm and peaceful inside lol. I also found the breath helpful with strenuous excersize like the running im trying to do. I'm more consious about it and breathe deeper and fuller wich helps to calm my whole body even when im under a lot of pressure...

193?!?!?! ​

Is that a new low?

why yes it is!
now a days all my numbers are new lows. well except the past week when I was carrying around a significant amount of water ... I was about to lose it until i spent an entire morning running up and down the stairs peeing every 10 minutes then i knew it had to be over

Wow, she has a 100 lbs on you and she can run continuously? how long has she been working at it? thats crazy, i cant pull off more then 2 minutes at a time at what i believe is 3 miles an hour which is slightly more the a jogging pace
I never like running with wii fit just bc i dont like running in one spot but it definately worked my calves and got my heart rate up... i guess i could actually run on my treadmill with it that would probably work... i think ill give that a try tomorrow

I d/ld the thingy and tried using it but think i need some help, lol.I want the Beyond Basics that you gotThere is some other Yoga I wanna look up too...

I need some help and a lesson, if ya dont mind.

I can definately help you with that... did you end up being able to find the file to download in the first place? how far did you get before you werent sure what else to do?

i was also wondering , do you have msn messenger or yahoo, do you do that...

If so my yahoo is sinderelly13@yahoo.com and my msn account is in my profile...would love to add you if you have it, we seem to be online alot at the same times...

I do have MSN and ill add you right after im done posting this and get over to your profile. we probably always seem to be on at the same time bc im just about always on lol. I'm sighned into msn just about 24/7 so everytime i get an email from WLF I check it...

Good news; I remember a few months ago you were REALLY struggling around the 200 mark--now look at you tear through the 190s! Keep it up, soon you'll be tearing through the 180s!

Yeah i think that was in november, early december... What did it was calorie counting... as soon as I started my food diary midway through december it was all down hill from there... The funny thing is the one thing I swore I wouldnt do, ended up being what did it for me... it's practically a fairy tail lol

I
HATE
calorie-counting....

BUT! It is the only thing that works for me. I cannot seem to lose much weight without it, and SHIT, woman, it's sometimes hard to believe how many calories a meal can be if you're not paying attention! Like, you could sit down to a Mexican meal and ONE margarita, and feel full but not stuffed after, but find out you're consumed 1400 calories! It sucks!

I dont mind it so much, but it's a lot easier because i'm home ALL THE TIME... so everything i eat i already have memorized lol and anytime i eat take out i get the same thing and its from like mcdonalds so i can just get it off their nutrion calculator but i know what you mean about mind blowing amounts of calories... even something as simple as white cheddar mac and cheese is like 400 calors for one 3/4 cup... needless to say i refuse to eat it anymore just because i dont think 400 calories in 3/4 of anything is worth it...
I'm dreaming of maintenence time though... its a lot easier to fit 1400 calories into a mantenence limit then a weight loss limit or at least i hope so :S

 

[Curvie Girlie]

I hear ya! I don't even know HOW many times I have sat in front of a food at a grocery store and spent a good FIVE minutes in deep contemplation about "is it really worth it?" Yes, it is much easier if you're eating mainly at home. Eating out is the hardest thing, especially at obscure restaurants with no nutritional data.
