Love my hubby...but would love to turn a head or two again....

Jasper :*(

I haven't thought about that day in too long now, I became obsessed with reading about it, for ages I read bout it every day, survivors stories, conspiracy theories, all them phone calls. And you know, ever since then I have been obsessed with fire, what would I do if the house caught fire in the middle of the night, how would I get myself and my kids out? I can't even light candles any more cos it panics me. I cry just thinking about it. At the time it happened I was living with a woman called val. Her sons best friend (who I'd met at a BBQ) was killed in the towers.

Sad to hear that you lost your faith over it jasper :(


TETE!!!!!!!! A pound a week seems like nothing. I know. It SUCKS when you only lose that, specially when you've put in loads of effort. But just think of how many weeks in the past you have gained or stayed the same.... And now, you are losing week after week. And even if your body is being stubborn about dropping them pounds fast right now, even if you only lose one pound every single week for the rest of your diet (which is never gonna happen), you will be over 50lbs lighter this time next year. Not the same weight, not bigger, but 4 dress sizes down.

I remember when decisionmaker stayed the same weight for three weeks despite eating really healthily. She never thought it was going to end, but then her weight dramatically went down loads after that. The effort she made when she wasn't losing wasn't in vain, her body was just being grumpy about letting it go.

Also, last month my weight loss went like this...
week 1.. plus 0.1
week 2.. minus 6.6!!!!
week 3.. minus 0.6
week 4.. minus 3.2

recently, my body doesn't seem to lose weight week by week as it should, but it catches up with itself! I only lost 100 grams last Wednesday, but I bet next week the loss will be colossal.

What I'm trying to say, is that although its great to see results right here and right now, you have to think of the future, both not-so-distant, and distant. x
 
GIRL!!!!! You had better not have left us or I'll throttle you! ;)

Missing you... and everyone is right, of course - I don't need to tell you again! I think what Rainbow said really hits home, the idea that even if you were to lose a pound a week, this time next year you'll be FOUR dress sizes smaller! Incredible! You can do it, my lovely. And yep, I had 3 weeks where I lost NOTHING! Even put on some! And then *poof* off it all went :) Stick with it and it will happen, I swear.
 
I know how you feel tete, I only lost 1lb last week and it just didn't feel like I lost anything. But I'm trying to look at it as 1lb lost is better than 1lb gained. I would have really fallen apart if that happend.
 
OK so I am totally freaked out by this new forum!! Holy heck!!


I have been so busy with getting my boys ready for football and my own grumpiness....I didn't want to effect the whole board with my Debbie downer BS!! ....SORRY :(


But I have been good my dear friends...really the only bad nite eating was tonight's pizza. I am so sorry for worrying you all....THANK YOU so much for not giving up on me....you are the best cheerleaders a girl could have...I am over my hissy fit and am gonna fight through this bit of glum I have going on....I am still not feeling motivated...but i am not going to give up either....I LOVE YOU ALL!!! you rock!! :grouphug:

Paper Towel Theory by Bob White


Let's assume you go out and buy two rolls of paper towels, each with only 84 paper towels on it (one for each day of the challenge). You put one aside, and keep it for future reference (your before/ picture).


The other one represents you (I'll call your paper towel you "Ed"). The core represents the lean Ed. The towels represent the fat that is covering the lean Ed. For sake of argument, let's say that Ed wants to lose 21 pounds of fat, so (84/21) each sheet represents a quarter-pound of fat lost. Let's also assume that Ed loses his fat equally during each day of the challenge.


Each day during the first week, you tear a sheet off of Ed, representing the fat he has lost for the day. Next, you put Ed next to the full roll ("Big Al") for comparison. No noticeable difference!!! Even at the end of the week! This can't be working for me!


But, being a good Ed, CONTINUES...At the end of weeks two and three, you continue to compare Ed to Big Al, and still notice very little difference.


But Ed is determined! He works hard! Three more weeks go by, the sheets peeling off day after day, before Ed gets up the courage to stand next to Big Al again. Holy Myoplex! Ed is skinny! OK, not skinny, but less huge!!!


By the end Ed is down to his lean dream, or somewhere near it. Ed is happy. We are happy. Big Al - well he's not so happy.


The lesson to be learned is that fat, like paper towels, comes off in sheets. When you are heavy, you are big around. And when you are big around,that fat is spread over a MUCH larger area - just like that outside towel sheet. The closer you get to the lean you, the more each lost pound of fat shows, because it is spread over a smaller area.


While the outside sheet may only cover 1 layer of the roll, the inside sheet may go around 4 times. That last sheet looks like it gives you 4 times the results of the first sheet, but in reality, the results are the same - your perception is just different! And you'll never see the inside, if you aren't patient while the outside is coming off! - Bob White

Yep, this will be our third cruise...I love them. Its a little bitter sweet my oldest son isn't going this time with us....due to sports and his advanced classes at school and his general lack of wanting to go....I was really upset for a long time about it...but he was so adult in his reasoning's and no matter the age he is entitled to his choices in life and he doesn't like to travel at all. ....So I am respecting his wishes even tho it breaks my heart...but he did go to the Ocean with us this year...and Hershey park...so I feel a tiny bit better.

 
ALMAO...I was trying to edit a post and accidentally reported myself for an inappropriate post....omg!! hahaha

So happy my Zumba instructor is back today...I feel like I haven't had a good work out in days!!

So average weekend of working out...not good ..not bad....passed up ice cream and cake this weekend....but just had the best BLT with home grown tomatoes.....omg is was delicious!!! Still good in all my ranges for the day...have 200 to 500 calories left....will have to eat some chicken or something when I get home from Zumba for a low fat...high protein snack. Really been trying to have post work out snacks....its hard because I am not a late nite eater... usually finish up for the day eating around 6.

HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYED SUNDAY :):)
 
ANew format won't let me update my august challenge weight but I am happy today only 2.5 pounds away from the halfway point!!!

AYAHOOOO! Wow, almost half way! That is so exciting. There's the light at the end of the tunnel! And nice toenails, by the way. ;)

You are "not a late night eater" = WHAT THE? This does not compute (she says as she goes for the lemon sorbet again ;) )
