Mal - I was thinking the same thing...
Having been pregnant at a heavy weight with all of its attendant complications...have you considered having her try to lose some weight first just to see if it helps things?
Just a thought, like Mal said, feel free to tell me to shut up (or go to hell, if that suits you more).

First off I would never tell either of you to shut up. You two have accepted and chatted with me from my first day on here and have earned my respect.
I have brought this up to her. She is allergic to exercise right now but I think having a place at home will really help her- she is amazingly intimidated by the gym and very self- conscious. We are both eating well but only one is exercising right now.If this time does not work I am going to suggest a 3-6 month break from it so she can get healthier. I really do think it would help overall from the research I have done. Unfortunately it is a subject everyone always tap dances around.
What complications did you have Ali? I seriously have no clue about this stuff.

I suspect that the partner that is here today would have something to say about that
I have more to do than I can handle and when that happens I totally go into screen saver mode. Not healthy.
Gotta figure some way around that...

Organize and prioritize.
I usually have 3-6 things going at once. Make lists in order of importance to stay on track.
Keep an organized desk so you can see everything.
don't overdo any task unless it is absolutely necessary- more time is wasted gold plating mundane tasks for no reason.
sorry, you didn't ask for advise. Ill shut up now

Well hell, everyone is overworked.
Thats no excuse for being overworked
Low person on the totem pole is always overworked. I was in a pile of crap a year or so ago. Now I am still in a pile of crap but it is of my own doing, not what someone else dumped on me. And I have noone to dump it on nor would I anyway since I know how that feels.
Lists always help- just need to keep up with them.

Hey ali
Congrats on the size 14's!!!!
I have been shopping with my friends a lot recently and it looks like Old Navy has really got some cute stuff for women this season. Hell, I guess they are even doing better in their men's section too. I just get bored with the same old bland polo or hoodie, or cargo shorts like they usually sell. I was actually happy at Old Navy the other day too, I bought a hoodie on sale, that was a Medium! I'm not a medium everywhere yet, lol but at least I am in hoodies at Old Navy
Congrats on upping the weight on the squats too. Those squats are killer. I need to do a bunch of them this week. I feel like I have been kind of neglecting my leg workouts lately because I've been running so much. When my legs are like Jello from a leg workout, I don't want to run and risk injuring myself... No excuses this week tho. My trainer is going to introduce a new fat burning plan for me, which he told me includes one set of 100! I have to be honest, but I hate the sound of that. 3 sets of 25 was bad enough but at least I get a little breather in between sets. This is just one full on, without stopping set of 100.... We shall see...
Glad to hear about your success. It completely goes to show us all that even though the scale number isn't changing, our bodies probably are
have a good nite Ali,

Thanks Sam
I take the improvements as they come, I am happy for any change, no matter how small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a totally random note (hey it is my diary, I can say what I want, right?) I think that the one things I wish I could fix right now would be my chest. I want to be one of those girls that can wear those shelf bra tank tops and not worry about things staying where they should be.
Arghhhhh...I will just add it to the list of Damage I Have Caused Myself by letting myself get as big as I did.
I'm not being negative, it is more a function of the warmer weather approaching and my wanting to wear certain things and not being able to.
I am still stoked from yesterday so don't worry about that.

Ok - this is apparently all about what I want tonight...
I want to learn how to dance, I am thin enough now damnit...now if I could only get one of those pesky senses of rhythm that you need to be good at it...
I think I have undereaten for the night so I am going to have to have a snack. I have a pot of chili going so that may be lunch for tomorrow...

Why shouldn't it be about you? This is your thread.
Learning to dance would be great. Does your husband dance?
I have heard it is great exercise.
I personally am unable to dance. I was born with a genetic condition inhibiting all rhythem. I am very sensitive about it and do not want to talk about it.
Rather stand on a street corner naked and covered in honey then dance.

Does my husband dance?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha (oh I'm sorry, you were sitting here waiting for me to answer)
No, he doesn't which creates a problem for me...
I do not have any rhythm which I am aware of, but I can be taught!!!
Naked and covered in honey???
Do I go there??? Do I???
Nah...it was tempting though

Good morning class
So last night I made a whole big batch of turkey chili...I even calculated the calories (25.4 cal/oz) I am so proud of myself, I never put that kind of effort into my cooking but, since I have been weighing and measuring more often, it made complete sense to do so.
So like I said, I made this big crock pot full of the stuff last night and I come home from the gym this morning to my husband packing his lunch. With my chili.
Now, I don't expect him not to eat it but I would like to get more than one serving out of it. If there is more than one additional bowl left by the time I get home tonight from my meeting, I will be surprised.
Headaches abound today...I have already gotten attitute from one of the staff members here and got yet another project dumped on my head.
If it wasn't so calorically expensive, I would start drinking.

My understanding is hard liquor is not that bad from a calorie standpoint
Re: the chili. My wife and I have learned that we need to tell each other what we plan to do with food. If we do not the other assumes that it is open game and is free to do what they want with it.
Almost all of the office staff dislikes me here.
Possibly my sunny demeanor.

Surprisingly for haveing 2 people in the house combining for alomost 500 lbs it works. We rarely argue about food anymore.
You really never feel as fat as when you argue with your SO about why the heck they ate the last of the cake, ice cream, etc.
Even worse is when it was you who ate all that and are defending yourself.
Now we get ticked at who finished off the almonds without telling the other.
