Congrats on the 20lbs!!! WooHoo!
As to the #2 problem, I would get some benefiber and start putting it in your water a few times a day. That will really help. Also, try eating more fruits and veggies. And, there are some whole grain breads out there that have 6-7g of fiber per slice. Aunt Millie's makes a few of them. You should be getting about 25-35g of fiber per day. If you do, everything will come out just fine..lol
Thanks for the congrats hun! For the #2 prob, I'll have to pick up some benefiber. I always see the commercials but just hate the idea of actually taking it. I'm one of those people who avoids taking anything unless it's completely necessary :/ but I guess this would be one of those times, I don't wanna go septic. lol.
Elle,
If you want support here you need to give some too. You need to cut your calories...there is no excuse for this plateau, I'm sorry to be harsh, but I'm trying to give you some tough love. I want you to lose it, but you have to want to, and you need to cut calories. You have to come here every day and remember your goal and really WORK for it - just like you have to work for everything else you really want in life you need to work for it. It won't be easy, so you'll feel really good when you finally reach your goal.
HILARIOUS! this made me laugh when I read it. I'll break down your post to make it easier for you to understand me, as you seem that you may be of a lower intelligence.
"If you want support here you need to give some too."
-obviously you haven't read any of my prior posts. I never asked for support in my post, I felt bad that I hadn't been able TO support.
"You need to cut your calories...there is no excuse for this plateau, I'm sorry to be harsh, but I'm trying to give you some tough love."
What?! Cutting calories to get off of a plateau? I think it's pretty much common knowledge that you up them. And no thanks, I don't need what you call "tough love", not from you anyway.
"I want you to lose it, but you have to want to, and you need to cut calories."
I don't want you to want me to lose it thanks, I don't need seriously negative people like you "supporting" me. And who are you to imply that I don't want to lose my weight? I don't know you, have never talked to you and to be quite frank... I don't think I want to.
"You have to come here every day and remember your goal and really WORK for it - just like you have to work for everything else you really want in life you need to work for it. It won't be easy, so you'll feel really good when you finally reach your goal."
I HAVE to come here every day? Well if you think about that statement for a second it might come to you that maybe not coming here everyday is a good thing. Not coming here=doing more, doing more=losing more. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that shizz out.
I rest my case.
Maybe your just joking or something or maybe you really do think your post is out of love ..............if not then your response is just plain rude.
Elle has been on here all the time in the past 2 months. Giving support to all kinds of people all the time. I happen to be one of them. She was the 1st person on her to welcome me to the forum and to encourage me when I wasn't doing well. It's only been in the last 2 weeks that things have gotten busy for her. And to not even give her kudos for her 20 pound lose but slam her for NOT trying is way out of line.
Just sticking up for my peep. So if you think I am outta line sorry, but I am not going to let you treat her that way. It doesn't take much for a person to get discouraged and your post would not by any means be considered an encouragment.
Elle you know I think you rock and that is so flippin awesome that you hit your 20 pound mark.
YOU GO GIRL!!!
Bella, you are amazing! Thanks for sticking up for me when I wasn't here. *hugs to you missy!!!*
Sorry didn't mean to be rude - I just know sometimes I need someone to give me a kick to get me back on track. I know you can do it Elle!
Save your sad excuse of an "apology" for someone else.
I'm glad you chose to back peddle on that one, because Elle's been here for 2 months and has been doing exceptional. (Like bellaryna said) Besides, Elle's our babygirl of the group and we don't allow people to fuck with her. Enjoy your day.
-Sheryl
Thanks to you too Sheryl! *hugs*
Yeah, you're lucky you apologized, otherwise I was gonna give YOU some tough love!! haha. Elle's a dear, and she's doing just great.
No need to cut cals. When you plateau (which I don't believe you're doing anyway) increasing calories is the way to break it-not cutting them. The whole reason for the plateau is a slowdown in metabolism. Cutting calories will only reduce it further. A week or two at maintanance is the way to go. This boosts the metabolism, allowing for continued weightloss.
I don't know what makes you think otherwise, but I would suggest doing some better research before you start posting crap like that in other people's diaries.
The thanks go to you too Kimberly! *hugs*
You girls sure do kick some booty on defending people. <3
Congrats on the 20 lbs. Thats a huge achievement!
About 2- try more fiber in your diet. More veggies, fruits, raisin bran crunch is my favorite healthy cereal. And coffee makes me 2 too. hah.
GOod luck today!
Thanks miss! I've gotta stop by your diary after I post thiiiiiiis! I read it about a week ago but since I've been gone I haven't kept up!
My darling Elle, you are doing awesome! I was not here for the wonderful event of being down 20 pounds, so I am saying this late, but I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!
Ambeeeeeer! Thanks for the words dear!
lol.
