Words of wisdom!

You are ROCKING girl!
 
Thanx guys:D I am happy! I think having succeded before(losing 130) and then gained back the 80-85 pounds is actually key this time, I know from experience that the more I sweat overall the better I feel and subsiquently look. And more importantly that there is no end, no days off so to speak. Making the right decisions turns to living the right lifestyle...everyday!
Ever since I was a very small child my weight has determined everything I did or could do or would be willing to do...now that I am 25 I realize how much I missed...especially the confidence issues. This is where it ends, I swear!
This is day 7 with no sodas and I am telling you the skin on my face is so clear! I ususally have red faint dots all over especially when I get hot,I dont know if it was the soda or the junk food, but its gone. And my bloodpressure is down already...even though I quit taking my blood pressure medicine more than a month ago now! I cant wait to go back to the doctor and hear that my blood pressure is normal!
I did one and a half hours on the cycle today and one and half hours of cardio, didnt do much in the garden. But it takes me an hour just to water!
Took in about 1100 calories, two big salads with imitation crab meat and no dressing...and sadley the rest of my calories went to coffee...I gonna keep cuttin back on that coffee!:eek:
 
Hey you - I gave up coffee adn pop and it was hard - coffee prob the hardest but when I gave up coffee - I started in on the diet pop and then I gave that up as well ... they were both hard to give up...I feel so much better though in general - I started having a cup of joe in the ams but that is all I have - I use to drink coffee non stop - with tons of cream and sugar...I had to break downand start having a cup when my work schedule was insaine for the last 7 weeks and I needed it I so did - LOL

Anyway I jsut wnated to say hi and i will drop in agian later...:):):)

That is so good to hear. It takes a lot of persistence to do this but how worthwhile to do it now. I am trying not to dwell on that "how much I have missed thing" myself, but I've missed plenty... We can't change that now - but we can change now and change the future.

That is an amazing turnaround. That kind of result will help you keep going I'm sure.

Coffee. I think my coffee has about 40 calories in it, from the low fat milk. Is your coffee issue to do with the way you make it or the number of cups you drink? :confused: I see other people on here also worried about coffee in relation to weight loss and I was thinking it must be the way they make it, but I don't really know.

Have another great day/week...:)
 
Hey cinderelly thats great that you quit the caffein! I must confess I drink it all day:) and on occasion thru the night(coffee that is)...water and coffee are all I have been drinking.I dont put cream in it anymore and I bearly use enough sugar to taste. But I know I need to replace it with healthier calories! and I could really use some sleep...

In fact I stayed up all night, but I did more exercise! I came across some cool dance aerobic videos on you tube and did a total of one hour. Then as soon as the news came on I got on the cycle and did 30 min. on there. I am officially tired!

ok so i am starting my very own diary....this is scary... I lost 150 pounds and then got sick and gained 45 back so i am depressed and dissapointed in myself but i am starting over today! I am so tired of dissapointing myself! I tend to let my whole life depend on my weight, lately i am becoming reclusive over it I dont want to go out i feel like everyone is staring at me and i dont even want my friends and family to look at me...i know they are all thinking (well she is gaining all the weight back! soon she will be just as big as ever!):confused: why am i doing this to myself?!?:(

Oh my, you've lost so much weight! And I know how you feel about gaining weight, but if you lost it once, you can lose it again! :D

My coffee issue is really that I became addicted to caffein pills, when I stopped I got VERY ill. In fact the doctors told me I had multiple sclarosis.
But I was having dt's like a heroin addict!It took 5 months to determine what was going on, I didnt even know caffein could do that to you and I didnt realize just what was happening. So after hospital stays and 30 or more prescription that caused weight gain(including steroids pain killers and blood pressure meds)One day had a really nice seizure and a new doctor figured it out...But I had lost my vision my hearing my ability to walk normally and my speech had become very slurred...I put my family through alot and I realize that this doesnt happen to everyone, but I would like to soon be free of any caffein addiction! I was abusing these pills, mostly because I had taken them for 4 years. I dont suppose coffee is dangerouse, I know not to quit cold turkey! But I just want to be addiction free:D
 
The results from those caffeine pills was really nasty. I had no idea things could get that bad either.

You sure have some great goals.

I just noticed your BMI is very close to mine. (Mine is 36). I don't do challenges or contests but I always like noticing the things I have in common with other people here. It would be really great for us to both get to a healthy number! :)
 
Hey felici...I dont know if everyone goes into spaz mode on caffein like me, but it really pisses me off how they market the pills to women like us...I am firm beleiver that 90% of people can reach their goals through exersize and healthy eating...I literally almost died and now I have 20,000 dollars in medical bills! Not to mention the severe weight gain and weakness after the fact...

As far as our goals are concerned WE CAN DO IT! we have both come a long way already...and we will get there:D

I think the number would go up if people would actually believe in themselves and not buy into the quick fix that marketers want us to believe...
 
I dug out my elliptical...drug it from the shed to the house...Now I am ready to mix things up. However my house looks like a gym:rolleyes: only without the sexy fit people! oh well...
Anyhow I have talked my sister in law into coming over in the afternoons to workout, taking turns from cycle to elliptical. I am so happy she wants to come this will do us both so much good:) None of my friends are intrestsd in working out...other than they want me to go back to karate. But I will NOT go back until I have made ammends with the mirrors:eek: That will take a little time...
I am becomming addicted to the forum...I guess this is a good thing judging by all of the success I am reading about.I really want to thank everyone on here again for tuning your journies into handbooks of inspiration:cool: I am so inspired...
 
ok so the elliptical is a world diffrent from the cycle! I am so worn out...had a nice workout with my sister in law, but now I remember why I put it in the shed to begin with.
Didnt stand on the scale today...maybe a peek in the morning?!? Besides I am feeling less than perky and I wouldnt wanna see any unpleasant numbers.
I had two salads today...with salmon, and plenty of coffee. I am at about 1000 calories. I have done alot more excersize that usual. But I am feeling it!
 
You are doing amazing things.

I hope you don't mind me wondering if you are getting enough food and calories now. You didn't stop at 1000 cals did you? You do include some complex carbs? (They sooo help you keep on track in the long term.)

Congratulations on all your efforts. :)
 
To tell you the truth felici...Im not sure what a complex carb is exactly!:)
But I am getting around 1100-1200 calories a day...pretty much the same thing everyday...salad with lots of mixed veggies...celery broccli ect. and some sort of fish/seafood on top. And a bannana or apple something of that sort. No dressing at all...never thought I would say that!
I am trying to read more and understand but once you read and read it all starts to kinda run together...I am keeping a journal of all my food and the information I find on each item...calories carbs ect...
How many calories should I be getting? I appreciate all information at this point, I have alot to learn!;) Complex carbs are in veggies right?:confused:
