New to Everything

Today is a good day. I had 5 points for breakfast and 5 for lunch. I went to curves for half hour and walked a mile when I got home. Tonight is spanish rice and chicken breast. Wish I had someone to do curves with though. I'm kinda new to it and dont know anyone yet, but they're all friendly enough. I'm doing this diet/exercise program in secret. Kinda depressing, hubby hasnt even noticed I've lost anything yet. Waiting to see when he does. I'm kinda alone in this other than this forum. Thanks guys for being here(and girls)

water as of 12:30 45 oz
 
Hey Girlfriend! Good for you for doing it in secret. That way you can keep the diet hawks off your back. hehe I hear you about going to the gym alone, I never have a gym buddy, those are hard to come by. And it feels weird approaching someone at the gym now a days, seems like everyone has on headphones and is tuned out. Every once in a while I get a chat going with someone on a machine next to me.

You can do it. You're man will start noticing soon enough. Especially when all the guys start swooning over you. hehe. Great job with your points and Curves!
 
YAY!!!!!! A sit up gaol... So did you do any today???? Get started for tomorrow. Get it over with. And therefore you'll pass the 500 goal :D .. Well, You do have tons of motavation for yourself period. Especailly doing this all alone. Have a blessed day and don't give up......Drink your WATER
 
Yeah Jells, I made it to 5. I might re-think this thing. I have a bladder problem and having surgery on 6- 19, so yada yada yada. Hard day today........feel like eating everything. Ate 4 lifesavers.
 
Today is not a good day for me. I think TOM is comming on again. I have just wanted to eat today, err, snack, and I did not exercise. I'm in a funk and feel like I really don't care. Kinda getting tired of this, but will try to stick with it. Maybe I should tell my husband and risk the failure looks so I can have someone to talk to about this. He can't relate though, he's 6'2 and 175. Mabye I just need to eat and go to bed. Yes, I did drink my water today.!
 
Don't quit!! And don't accept "failure looks"... you've come wayyy to far just to give up. I hear ya on doing it in secret tho- I have a few friends who (in my opinion:rolleyes: ) are trying to sabatoge me, lol... they're just pissed cuz I'm actually doing it, so just keep thinking of it that way! You hubb. will notice soon, I'm sure :)
 
thanks Jess, today is another day and I'm gonna give it my best shot. I think I'm bummed cause of the support thing and I'm tired of eating carrots and apples. Kept within my points tho again yesterday so I guess that was good. Have a great day!
 
I completely sympathize with not wanting to tell your husband. Has he ever been overweight? It's tough for people who have never experienced this to understand how difficult it is to fight. Do you have anyone else that you interact with (other than us) in whom you can confide? We're all here for you, but sometimes you need to hang out with someone supportive in person. I understand that. I'm within my last 20 pounds now, and only recently (it's been a LONG journey) have I started talking to EVERYONE, and anyone who will listen, about trying to lose weight. People are pretty supportive, but I worry that it's only because I'm not nearly as heavy as I had once been, and no one is uncomfortable cheering me on for the last 18 pounds. I always worried when I had 50 pounds to lose that if I told anyone they would just say "yea, you better lose it." So I fought it in secret for a while. It IS tough, and having open support IS easier. He's your husband, can you not talk to him about your feelings, and how you're trying to do something for yourself that's healthy? Ask him to just be supportive and not tell you what to eat and what not to eat. (If you can talk to him like that.) I really do think we all need someone to talk to.
 
BCG,

I agree with the others, keep at it, he will notice!!! I know what your going through, i've lost 18 lbs (and i'm short so it's noticeable) and my husband hasn't once said you look great, nothing... whatever i didn't do it for him I did it for me, he's also the type who can eat anything, at anytime and never gain weight, so it kind of licks. You've got tons of support here, and your doing so great!!!

so proud of you.

cheers
michelle

YUP!!!!!!!!!!! That's mike too, so friggin frustrating, he'll come home from poker nights at 2am and eat up a storm, I wouldn't even think of it!!!!!!!!!! I hear ya on this one! :eek:
 
Yeah! down 2.8 lbs this week. Guess curves gave me that little extra boost. Almost there...............will change my ticka lata, gotta eat this lean cuisine- penne pasta with chicken and veggies for 6 pts. and then go work for awhile. Will read everything else when I get in tonight. Hugs and I love you guys.:D
 
Great Job! I think you passed me now, but you have to change your ticker, or I won't believe it!!! Now I really have to focus... (I'm going to have a SUPER exercise weekend).
 
Ok, I changed it! Well, I didn't get to excercise today but tomorrow will be full of activity. I am getting up with the chickens and going to 2 community yard sales, so that will be a couple hours of walking, then I WILL hit curves. I can see the difference those 3 days made. I actually weighed in at 205.8 today, and it was 208.6, so I lost a total of 2.8 this past week, but the ticka's dont say the decimal. I only have 2 lbs till I reach my 10%! I WILL MAKE THE 2 LBS. BY NEXT FRIDAY AT NOON!

Chris, dont beat yourself up cause your med's made ya' gain,-if ya did. We all know you try your heart out and hopefully once your body is used to it, it will start getting with the program!!

MissPrincess- thinking about our tickers during my workouts really motivated me this week! I'm really only a piece of cake away from you!! Who knows? lol

Yes, this is long. Food is good today, even without the exercise.

B= apple-1 pt
ham biscuit (present for teacher appreciation)-5? (or am I kidding myself?)

L= Lean Cuisine meal-6 pts
Snack- 1 cup of strawberries- 1 pt

Dinner- Wendy's
side salad w/ff french dressing-0
small chili-4
small frosty-7 (it was worth every bite)
unsweet tea with lemon-0
I still have 2 pts left but will go to bed instead

@ 80 oz. water, oh, and one peppermint breath mint.:D
 
one more thing I forgot, this morning was one of those bad morning's where you have nothing to wear. Well, I dug in the back of my closet and saw a red pr. of capri's that last time I checked, the zipper wouldnt even go halfway up my gut. Well, suprise! it zipped, buttoned, and they looked very good. The pockets didnt even bulge. That's it, just had to tell someone. :D
 
Hey! Congratulations on getting into the capris! One of these days, I hope to look good in a pair of those. ;) You are doing awesome with your food! You are the same weight as me now. Well, almost. I am at 205 exactly. (I have been too upset about gaining back three pounds that I haven't changed my ticker. :eek: ) You are going to beat me into onederland! ;)

Thanks for stopping by my diary! :D I've only got one question? Why haven't I ever stopped by here before? :confused:
 
Dunno, HH. Anyway, today I'm the exercise queen. I yard saled for 2 hours, walk walk walk. Then went to curves and did a 1/2 hours, but felt very naseous. Then went and battled wally world. I bought a digital scale. I weighed myself at home today and it said 205.0. Yesterday at ww it said 205.8. I just think the scales are off. Hope everyone is doing great today!
 
I don't know either. I blame it on my stupid broken leg and the tons of pain medicine I have taken over the past few months. ;) Anyway, you are just kicking butt with all that walking at the yard sales and then curves too! :D
 
Hey, good job Beachcomergal! You have, in fact, sailed past me at 205, but I'm hoping to catch up this week by being VERY GOOD! (I said, I'm HOPING). Anyway, I'm shooting for 2 pounds per week until Mexico, so you'll have to hustle to keep up with me if I do manage to do this (I'm trying out my new optimism). You're doing great, keep it up!
