Hey there - sorry it has been awhile - i do always drop in and read but don't always post...

I laughed when I read about your cat...People always say cats don't like to get dirty sp they are easier animals than dogs...ya whatever - I have 4 cats and when they go outside the first thing they do is roll around on the dirty driveway in all the dust and leaves - LOL...my cats also love to have their bellies rubbed!

I have been struggling this past week with my food - I got really off track as it was my aunts bday and then mine so we celebrated for like 2 weeks and I ate cake non stop and everything else but I finally got over it all and eatin healthy again...

Good for you for bike riding and walking - obviously it is working...as long as you stay aware of what you eat and how important physical activity is you will def succeed...I haven't read too much abt the man lately - all same old same old...

Yea, the man and I are getting tighter lmao. Its all good. Things are going awesome!!

but anyway, yea the weight is finally going down instead of up. It was that damn metformin I came off the second pill after losing weight on it, and now I am back down by hard work and not a pill ...

I dont let them get me a cake! lol we go out to a restaurant and eat a dessert from the restaurant and we share it, however, I wish I could have it all to my own, but we usually order like three desserts, there are four of us and we all taked pieces from each one, if we are really bad we get four desserts, each one of us picks one and than we split them into fours, but usually its one or two desserts, bdays its three... I like it that way...we get to test out each dessert .. Tiramasuu is awesome! I love the different ways they can make it...

anyway

Yay for the new weigh-in! I'd be interested in knowing why you stopped the Metformin, though. For those of us with metabolic/insulin resistance problems, it's really supposed to be a very good corrective to help make the metabolism work as it should. But I've never taken it and don't know from personal experience. Was it having some side effects or something?

Well it actually made me hungrier, isnt that odd? and I was having acid upset and my stomach hurt. So twas not good, but I was losing weight fast, lost five pounds in one week, but I don't want to lose that fast, u know?

I know its harder to lose this way, but I actually just came back from a forty minute walk and I am sweating up a storm, I am sure I could use some sugar, I drank cold water half way through and by the time I was done, it was hot water, its in the seventies today. Incredible how fast it gets so warm. Tomorrow I am wearing a cooler shirt, like a tank top or something, this is so hot!! And I think I ended up with a sunburn on my face, it stings so bad on my face and is so hot... its like I was in a toaster oven and I am trying to cool off now, but I am going to go and put some shorts on and go outback, should be nice, and I am going to get some reading done, but I have so much cleaning to do before Peter comes over lol

well love yas

I hate this, I hate this, hate this, hate this. My old clothes are getting too big for me. I never got to wear these two cute shirts, because when I first bought them they barely fit, they were tight, and than I looked big in them, they were skin tight, tried them on a few days ago. I look like a balloon in them, they are WAY too big!! Well I guess I should actually like that, but they are SO DAMN PRETTY!! They are this harmony type of pink. Fuscia almost, but lighter, with white dabbles of splashes, just right, no 80s crap lol, but they were and are so beautiful, but dag nabit, the weight is just flying off and I can't wear them. I am officially in a size 18/20 and all my old clothes are 22/24, so I have a feeling I will be buying many new shirts this summer and may end up in a size 16 by the fall if not sooner, if I keep walking and working out the way I am.

and oh my word, cleaning is never ending

I hope I find pretty tank tops this summer, instead of something like the disgusting ones from last year. oh yea I was thinking of getting a biking tank shirt. I should look into one of those once July comes or June, but June I am going down to Peters, and that will cost about 85 dollars, its ridiculously, takes two hours to get to his hometown, will take me a full day of 13 hour driving, but he wants to show off his hometown to me, so I am going down, this once .. lol and probably more than that, but try to put it off sometimes, because I can't afford it that much. I can pay for his gas to come up here, but its bad that I can't pay for the bus tickets to go down and we will only get to spend four hours together. Unless I can leave earlier...and I have on lay over of one hour and forty five minutes, reading material needed, but he is REALLY looking forward to it ..

so ladies and gents, must go back to cleaning the whole upstairs, almost done, that I hit some of the downstairs and I am done! YEA!!

Tailors aren't that difficult to come by - even in your neck fo the woods... Look for one and have your favorite clothes altered -it's cheaper than buying new - especially if you like the clothes.. and it prevents any excuse for a backslide..

You right about the backslide. I know what I could do. Some of my clothes have these cloth belts that go to the back, I wonder if I could attach one to the seem some way and bring the front back to hug my stomach more, my mother would know about this, maybe she would be willing to show me how to fix up my clothes. I guess I dont hate it too much, well, actually I tried them on AGAIN last night and wanted to cry. They are so beautiful, but so huge. I will look into a tailor, it would be so worth it with these two beautiful shirts. I will pick through my shirts and decide which ones I want to take to the tailor and which ones I really don't care much about, but my mom has offered to take me shopping for stuff, so I am looking forward to that, we are going in May or June, havent made up our minds.

I tried to do the picture thing, but it doesnt seem to work. I think its my modem, slow, dial up...

I shall try again with the pics. I am looking better than I was 47.4 pounds ago, but I have so much more to go. IT kind of frightens me some time. I started getting down because I thought so much about the end, now I am back to thinking in five to ten pounds. When I lose five, I add five pounds, so I always need to lose about ten pounds ...it works, keeps me motivated. I don't like to look at how far I have to go, just little increments seem to be working and once weekly weigh ins seem to work. So Friday is my weigh in day, I think I will have the same weigh in, or maybe a couple oz less hopefully, but not going to worry too much, just keep trecking, thats my plan..

thanks hun for the suggestion, I will definitely look into tailoring the clothes :iagree:


thanks

Hi natalie!!! So sorry I've been MIA. I had to say something though. My dearest, you have lost ALMOST 50 LBS!!! That is NOTHING to feel sad about. You are AWESOME! I'm so super impressed with what you have done! Sure, having to take in two favorite shirts is kinda a pain, but who cares?! You have done AWESOME WORK to help yourself and your path to health. :)

Don't let yourself worry about the finish line - worry about the race. Take one day at a time and remind yourself that you are making a positive life change for yourself. :)

Hey Heather,
Yea, I know your right, but somehow, because my weight loss is so slow I feel like I will never finish lol, but I know I will, and I will maintain when it comes to that point. Im trying to convince myself lmao... no I know, but I am not going to think about how much I have left, I am just going to go the five to ten pound increments and those will add up ..u know

I do agree with you...
Its too bad the shirts aren't 18/20s, but the shirts are shirts, its not the end of the world. Mom says there are such nice tank tops at Fashion Bug, so I am looking forward to check out what they have for the summer.

but anyway I am happy you stopped in!

Hello guys and gals,
Well I am going to try my hardest to get Peter to walk the beach with me. He doesnt know how to swim, but I really want to go down to the water and pick through the sea shells and just have fun. Go on the rocks and just walk, would be fun. Last time we went to the beach, mainly we walked the sidewalk, what a bummer that was. I hate getting sand in my shoes, but you can shake it out of course lol

but anyway Hope everyone has a good day as I will. I will be with Peter ... (love love loveeeee) lol

well ttylater

I know what you mean about feeling like it is really slow. But that's what it is supposed to be. Quick weight loss doesn't help anyone and usually results in a quick gain back! I do know that's hard to always keep mindful, though. I definitely have days where I think I'll never reach my goal! Just gotta keep working at it. :)

Well mine is going to be really slow, because my metabolism doesnt work right half the time. I am taking one metformin, supposed to be taking two, but the second one makes me hungry and makes me all acidic, right up into my mouth, overnight is the worst, finally I realized I just couldnt deal with the second one, so I am only fixing the problem half way ..so its gonna take me a long time to lose the weight .. BUT I will do it! IT will just take time, determination, and just reminding myself about how important this is ..that I am ..

Didnt go to the beach, was kind of stood up and I dont know why. Probably has a good excuse ..we will see
but I am completely sick anyways ..its 73 degrees and I am wrapped in a really warm blanket .. I am freezing cold .. I think I have a stomach flue ..not fun ..well I am taking a day off from walking. I hope I feel better tomorrow .. I am so stressed now. I wasnt able to sleep at all last night, because my stomach hurt so bad ...

and I dont know what happened to Peter ..

I dont know what happened at all, why he isnt here .. I wish he would contact me soon ..
oh well

love yas
natalie jo :cheers2:
 
Oh my, doesn't sound like a good day for you at all. Rest up and hopefully your mind and body will feel better by tomorrow. I sincerely hope that Peter gets in touch with you soon!! Blah. Being stood up is crap, he better have a good reason. :rant:
 
I dumped Peter, didnt want to, but I had to. I couldnt stand the not knowing. He never got a hold of me, he is really moody and I just dont need it. All this annoyances. I am tired of it. So Alex is coming up and he is going to keep me company for the weekend

anyway
