Hi, I'm Korrie...not exactly new to the forum, but its been a while since I've been 'active' here...so many of you might not know me. I'm 34, stay at home mom, 2 girls, 8 and 14 and married 10 years now!


I've had a really really rough year and a half and have had lots of issues with depression and I"ve gained some weight. My issues aren't entirely resolved, but this is a weight loss forum, not a psych forum, lol However, I'm ready to dust myself off and pick myself up again.


I would appreciate all the support I could get :D
 
Hey Korrie, I remember you :) Sorry to hear you've had a bad time of it recently--that's no good. But, you are back now. And committed and ready to go! That's a positive step in the right direction! Are you logging food and such?
 
Hi Sunflower!! thanks for the support. No,I havn't started to write things down. I was doing REALLY good about it for 3 wks and lost 8 lbs until we went on vaca and I've gained 4 of those lbs back and havn't started writing things down....but thats a good place to start for me, even if I do go over my cals for the day...at least I'll be more aware.


I dont' know what the future hold for me....there could be more bad news my way (long story)...but I've got to teach myself how to not respond to the stress with food.
 
Hey Korrie, i actually remember you too!! I think i saw alot of your posts in the challenge section last year if i am being right?! Anyway welcome to having a diary, its such a helpful tool when trying to lose weight.


I am so sorry you've had hard year and a half, it happens to the best of us..... you will get alot of support here, cant wait to see you updates:D Best of luck chick xxxxxx
 
HI! Oh yea, I was the "challenge queen" for a while, lol I actually just started one for August, but I dont' think anyone has signed up yet.


thanks for the support!!
 
Welcome back, Korrie! It's been a while

I remember you issuing me a slight infraction a year or so ago, hehe :p It wasn't for anything major (I believe it was for linking my blog incorrectly), and I promise I've been on my best behavior since then! tehe :biggrin:


Anyway, best of luck to you and keep us posted with your progress

thanks guys!!! missed this!


Can't wait for the august challenge to start tomorrow! I'll start posting my cals and exercise!
 
So todays the day! I weighed in at 256.4....not great, but not awful...I was at 260 before vaca, got down to 252 before hand....so I'm greatful that I didn't gain it all back. I'm gonna work hard to get down to 200/199 by christmas...-56lbs in 5 mths...i think its do-able.
 
Thanks guys!!! So far, so bad. But I'm still working to get there. Starting tomorrow I'm tracking my cals REGARDLESS!!!
 
Hi Korrie,


I personally believe that if you want to change anything physical then you also have to work on the mental stuff as well. I've learned that the hard way. Years of trying and failing.


Losing weight is easy, it's the mental stuff, the doubt and just life in general that stops us from doing it.


But anyway, congrats on your new start again and I will see ya around, Ms. Admin Lady.

Thanks for the reply Jenuine! yea, dieting really isnt' that hard once you've wrapped your mind around it....its keeping it wrapped around thats my problem, lol I was doing really well for 3 wks and lost 10 lbs before vacation...now that i'm back, and have been back for a month, I just can't get back on track.



I've finally broke down and am going to the dct tomorrow for my breathing problems. I have NO FAITH in dcts and I am very skeptical that they will help me, but I'm afraid if I dont' go, my husband and my parents will kill me, lol, soooo...guess i'm going.
 
I remember you, Korrie! You very politely and nicely helped me out when I needed it, and seem an all-around lovely person!


And haha, you sound as bad as I do as far as Dr's go! I avoid them at all costs as well, but I can totally appreciate why your family is pressuring you into it.. breathing problems are pretty important, and hell, maybe they CAN help - but you won't know until you ask! How did it go?
 
Hi Sarah!! thanks for stopping by! Its been a while, huh??


dct apt went well....they said I have asthma, so they gave me an inhaler for that, they also said i have bronchitis, so i got an antibiotic for that, she thinks allergies are aggrevating these conditions, so she gave me claratin for that...and then last but not least, a low dose antideppressant. While I'm breathing better, something is making me MEGA TIRED!!!!!! I was told the antideppressant might for a few dys, so hopefully i'll be better soon.


anyways...hows it going with you??
