Going Down Together Club

Okay guys..just went to the doctor. He changed some of my meds...and he put me on Tenormin (atenolol) for my severe headaches...I guess it is preventative...? So..they weighed me, but I turned around and told them just to write it down and not tell me..it's not Friday, right? LOL! My doctor wants me down to 120..even though I want 110...and he wants me on 800-1000 calories at most...and that is a doctor's order. I always heard that that was such a low amount..but, I guess if Mr. MD tells me, I need to do it? I think that the 1000 is probably where I will stick...I see him back in December...right before Christmas. I want to be at goal by then of course. He says 1-2lbs a week.

Talk to ya later!

Nice new buddy matches...LUXURIOUS!
 
Don't worry Lazyone ..... I've got enough butt-kicking for both of you!! :D

Hello, CrissyB. Let me know what motivation works for you, and how I can help best.

I find that I respond to a guilty conscience mostly. If people have been saying very kind, encouraging comments to me, like 'You can do it, I know you can', I don't want to let them down so I try harder!! ;) Looking forward to a bit of gentle :p encouragement!! :D
 
*grabs whip and runs after lazyone*

Hehehe... I thought you and I would be a good pairing as I exercise every day... and can do nice little butt kickings for you ;) Trust me.. after a while it becomes a habit.
Mrs Bear.. I trust you can get Crissy motivated and more active :)p).. I place her in your hands! I am sure you wont let us down :)

I have never been happier in my life than I am right now. My self confidence has gone up beautifuly.. and I want to see every girl in this club feel like I do. I still have a belly.. and love handles.. and such.. still weigh 169.. but when I walk down the street I feel good!! I have curves! I have a wonderful healthy body that is getting healthier! I know this is only going to get better.. and I feel so good now I cant wait for more. Walking is part of life now... I walk Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Sunday, Monday and Wednesdays I lift weights. Atleast 4 times a week while watching tv or doing voice on my computer I do crunches. I do this and I watch what I eat.. because there was no better feeling than reading 169.. and realising its been 5 years since I have been below 170... and there will be no better feeling... than being low. There is NO TASTE that tastes better than victory. There isn't. To beat it all... to fight with my body and win... there is nothing better. One cannot hope to control their life, if they cant even control their own body. You can control what you put into your body, and can control what your body does if you choose. Do it. There is absolutly no better feeling. The swelling feeling of pride when you jump on that scale and have lost 3 lbs.. its exillerating. Live it.. enjoy it.

Avi! You are such an inspiration!!! I loved reading your post...it is soooo true...there is nothing that tastes better than victory!

I am trying so hard to 'go down' in the scale...get my body back...be proud of my accomplishments...:)

That was so inspiring Avi, and so true. As soon as I lose control of my eating, everything else goes out of the window! If that doesn't inspire Lazyone .... well, I know it will ;) .
 
CrissyB, I've been looking about to see if you had a diary, but I couldn't find one. How have you been getting on with your game plan lately?
 
Avi-ever thought of a career change to a motivational speaker? :).

Yay for losing weight. Yay for feeling good. Yay for healthiness!
 
Wow inspiration, motivation, plus a huge dose of feelin like a lazy piece of crap :p I'm jk. You are probably the best person to get me off my lazy rear and get goin...what can I do to help you :rolleyes: lol.

I had a bad eating day and a no exercising day. :( I should have said my name was hardheaded lazy stubborn bum. :D

Anyway after reading that, tomorrow is a new day and I'm ready for it! thanks alot everyone. I love this group too its the best thing to help me through this journey. No diet or pill would ever get me where I want. Even a swift kick in the butt doesn't get me goin very far. :p

have a great night :)
 
lol.. no ava.. never thought of it.

Good LA (gonna call u LA cause lazyone means you are lazy and you arent going to be from now on :p) its a good time to start.

Yesterday i waled 20 blocks in the wrong shoes.. and have 4 lovely huge painful blisters to show for it. Teaches me for thinking more of style than comfort. lol So I only walked 4 blocks today and took the rest on the bus. was too painful. lol So today I will do stomach crunches and weights to make up for lack of exercise.

LA... what could make exercise fun for you? I personally like to feel the results... so stomach crunches, weights and sporatic running work for me.. I can feel the affects on my body quickly. Walking I jsut made up my mind if it takes less than an hr to walk there.. I will walk. More than an hr.. I will bus.

Btw.. LA.. would you be intrested in getting your belly button peirced? :D
 
you guys i need help! i'm starting to not be so pumped about my diet anymore :( :( its probably due to the fact that i've been stuck at 134-135 since may 31st (almost a month) and nothing has happened, and because i've been so exhausted lately and not enjoying my workouts. AND i've had an increase in hunger!

i need some serious motivation right now. i'm so scared. i dont want to stop my diet because i really want to a) get that belly button ring and b) lose the weight and go back to college looking great

please help me :( :( :confused:
 
Why are you exausted?

Try different workouts, don't stick to the same thing. What are you eating? We need to diagnose the problem.. maybe you body is too use to your routine.

Have you tried drinking green tea and taking vitamin B complex?
 
yeah i drink a cup of green tea every morning and take the vit b also

i usually change around in my cardio: one day i'll do elliptical, another day i'll do stair climber, another day i'll run, another day i'll do the arc trainer. so its definately not that. i'm just physically tired. like my legs feel like..exhausted. it might be from just standing for 6 hours straight when i'm at work, but i dont know.

i'm going to go buy diet pills on friday after i get my paycheck i think. they're really good at suppressing appetites. i know they dont make you drop pounds, but i just need something to keep me from eating as much as i have been doing. i might just need a complete relaxation day also of just sleeping, i don't know.
 
Diet pills.. o.o

:(

Try getting more sleep.. and if you feel hungry, pig out on vegies rather then use diet pills. You can eat!! Just eat low cal stuff... vegies and vegies and light jello and watermelon.. etc. Make sure your getting enough sleep a night.. 8 hrs atleast. If your stress is high it can keep you from loosing weight also.
 
mm i don't think i'm really stressing. its more like i have no time for myself anymore because my routine is basically this everyday:
wake up, gym, shower, quick breakfast, work for 6 hours, come home and do some catching up on here for an hour, dinner, 1 hour of tv or hanging out with my dad, bed. next day: repeat. very routine-like.

i usually get about 7 hours of sleep, so maybe more sleep is needed yeah. i would eat veggies, but i can't eat them alone aka i'd need dressing which is just more calories blach. i just realized this is just like mid-life crisis except its mid-diet crisis because i'm halfway through my diet and i'm only 5 pounds down and losing hope. eeeeek :(
 
dressing doesn't mean calories! I have a italian calorie wise dressing that is jsut 5 cal a tablespoon. You could have a bloody cup of that and it wouldn't be bad. lol. Its better to eat vegies with a lo-cal dip than over-eat other food.

When I plateu, I lower my cal intake to 1k, eat more low cal stuff more often so i dont feel hungry.. and do speratic work outs.. to shock my body into waking up.
 
so 1000 calories a day and just eat low cal stuff. i might have to do that. everytime i saw 1000 though it ends up being 1300 or something, so maybe i should aim for 700 and that'll mean 1000 lol. i hate this part of the diet bc this is where i usually quit but i don't want to do that this time. i need to go over my old goal list and stuff to get that motivation back into me. i'm sorry for being such a debbie downer right now
 
Hi everyone. I got my exercise in today and I didn't do so bad on the food :D.
I wish I could get my belly button pierced but I've already had it done and then I had kids and now it looks like a little ugly scar in the spot where it was :mad:
Thanks for invitin me though. :p
Hope you all had a good day. I need to go to bed or I'll be lazy again tomorrow. :rolleyes:
