"Big Girls (You are Beautiful" <-- Mika's song: Nataliejo's Diary.

[AmbaLove]

I have cycles of horrible reflux. At times I cannot even lay down, or it all comes up in my throat, so I have to sleep sitting up. My doctor tried several meds, but finally said he believes it is "genetic" as my grandpa and his mother had the exact same problems. Other times, I am fine. I have found that drinking a bit of milk or eating banana can help counteract it to a certain extent.

Congrats on getting those calories down! You're doing it, girl! You have the right attitude - taking it in strides. Start low and go slow, I always say.

The reflux must be quite bothersome. Taking Zantac is a good idea. Hopefully, you won't be bothered with the acid reflux for much longer.

Hi, Natalie Jo!

Awesome job with burning over 350 calories and with eating fewer calories.
You know what I have to say about those a-holes who laugh at you or who laugh at anyone who is trying to do something to improve herself, I say, "F-them." They're losers who have nothing better to do; they clearly have low opinions of themselves, otherwise they'd be pleased to see someone making a positive change or at least an effort toward positive change. I am a tough cookie and sort of a bitch too. (Okay, no "sort of.") Just so you know, I'd beat them up for you if you wanted.

Hang in there and try not to let LOSERS get you down.

And, yes, I'm bestowing upon you tons and tons of my banked motivation! Continue to kick butt!

at first I wasnt going to go outside, because I was scared of what people might think of me and my weight. And one girl did oogle me and laugh, and she was with a "hot" guy in most women's terms.
but than I realized I wouldn't be able to ever walk if I kept up that attitude

First off, bravo to you for keeping such a positive attitude, little mama. Regardless of what you choose to do, there will ALWAYS be hating little hooker bitches. They laugh, because they're insecure about something... hmmm... possibly you being too cute, so she was a little afraid her man would have taken a peek at your ass while you walk by? Hmmmmm? HA! Anyways, you're doing awesome, girly. As for the acid relux... shit... I had that when I was in the 200s. That was definitely some nasty crap. I had to prop my pillows at night, etc, etc. Since losing weight, that's all behind me. Thank freaking goodness. Anyways, you enjoy your day and I'm so proud of you, positive one.

PS I love Jason Mraz.. even if people think he's a little "sweet in the ass." HA!

 

[ABBAgirl]

Hey NJ
Sounds like you are hanging in there with the healthy lifestyle, girlfriend! Keep on with it and that nasty reflux will soon be a thing of the past.

Here's to your great new week!

cheers

 

[nataliejo]

Well peeps

Calories taken in 3259 calories!
burned 765 burned!

Now I actually took just as much calories as today, but burned more calories today. Yesterdays calorie count is not correct, because I forgot I ate and drank a few items ...

but today was good ...better than the 3800 or so that I was taking in five days ago when I punched into fitday.com

I ran about the tennis court today for twenty to twenty five minutes today and I walked for an hour and ten minutes...

best wishes ladies

Yea.. I can't wait to be 250 pounds again .. I didn't have any acid reflux ..plus I had my hour glass shape .. I really let myself go ..
but the meds didn't help that I was on ... but I am off them now and its going to be a slow process of losing weight ..but I am going to keep getting out there...
but what do you think I should do .. My nose is all stuffy and I have a cold ..don't feel too well ...should I still go out for a walk? What do you think?
I could always put on a small jacket ..fall jacket and a scarf on ..to cover my noise and mouth when I am breathing on my walk ... hopefully I can still use my portable cd player at the same time ..or I could just do aerobics inside ..its freezing in the house ..but it probably would be a better idea to do aerobics in the house at this point ..my cold is getting worse ..
anyway ttylater hun ..thanks for you support sweetness!~

[ABBAgirl]

Great job so far, Natalie Jo! Eight pounds lighter than when you started! It is such a motivator to see the needle on the scale moving down, down, down a pound at a time! Keep it up!

Hey ABBA,
Well I was happy about the pounds, but I actually started around 315 pounds. In January I was 315 pounds and didn't like where I was heading. My doctors told me I had to do something about it now, or there would be huge repricutions. So I decided to do something. My friend on DBSA talked about a forum, The WLF, that she used to go to and that it helped her a lot. So I didn't click on it for a couple, than I was more than happy to click on it, because I was so desperate and disheartened by my weight. I had taken off 16 pounds, but couldnt get below 301 pounds, I actually lost six pounds on here and went down to 295 by the end of July or August. But I had joined the "Fall off for fall challenge" I only took five pounds off during that challenge and it was a three months challenge right to the end of August. So I joined in June, and I started the "drinking water challenge" and what not...but I didn't keep up with either. I still drink a lot of water and tea with sweet n low ... but I have been prone to drink diet soda pop ..which I shouldnt ... so I am not allowing myself anymore soda pop ..at least I don't have ice scream anymore ...everytime I take something away it seems the next think in line is so hard to be rid off ...lol

Anyway thanks for your support hun!
I hope you are doing well today

[nataliejo]

So I kind of downed myself today, plus I was sick and still am, but I didn't do any exercise today, but I did clean a lot and still need to finish the laundry ..so I must be running ..but tomorrow I am going for a nice walk ..an hour long ..if I can do more I will ...
I am going to be walking all winter and on days where there isn't much ice or snow on the ground I am going to bike ..but at some point I will have to put the bike into the basement .. I mean I am in NH lol

Hey honey,

when I was ill, I asked HomeBoy Steve the same question and he pretty much said anything from the throat up, you're all good to exercise. (Unless you have a fever, because that was just be facking retarded, right? haha) Anything chest down... keep your ass at home and recover. Wishing you a great day, angel... hope you start feeling better soon.

Damn right! lol I even moved lower than that, but I want to wait to put it up, because I want to see if it stays that way. It now says that I am 290-291 pounds
that brings since January twenty five pounds lost. I didn't put my original weight down!
but since this place I have lost nine pounds to ten pounds ..nice!
You all rock!
