AHA! I knew last year you were like, 199--so you gained 30 pounds since you fell off? It is clear now. No worries, you're laid back and still determined--and of course you WILL succeed. I have no doubts, it's just the person you are :). And you can't beat Old School Tactics! Ah yes, drinking and depression. You need to do some YOGA! :D THAT'LL help get rid of the D&D ;) :p :sifone:
 
BTW congratulations on losing 7 pounds!!!! :hurray: Shit, That's pretty much what is keeping me from my Ultimate Goal right now--that and beer and snacky snacks :S
 
lmao. I was just testing Val's California-ness :p.

Shit, the 80's was chock full of great music no matter what flavor one likes. 80's music has helped me lose bunches of weight so who am I to criticize it ??

All in the name of weight loss, say unto me.

Word to the Mutherfucka on that dip!!! :cheers2: LOL!!! So many of my instructors liked Michael Jackson it was not even funny. AT least Psycho Micheal (my kickboxing instructor) plays the new shit, and he uses a program to mix harder beats on it and mixes the songs into one another. He's kind of a DJ, now that I think of it! Makes his own workout music, pretty nice!

Yeah, mid-summer '07, 197. I binge-drank from Nov. '07 till last week in Jan '08. I knew I was gaining. I walked away from the bottle at about 212-215 IIRC. I told ya I had a very shitty winter last year.

Of course come spring and the new bike, I figured I had it all under control. Then came the travel ops. Then came the surgery news. I guess I figured if I was getting my shit cut off I could ease up a lil. So here we are, a +26 YTD.
 
Pannus removal. It wasn't highly discussed here - and I wasn't on a big WLF diary commitment then, either. I still dunno wtf is going on with that. You know how getting jerked around can be with medical coders and such.

I'm off the 'wishing' phase of getting that elusive phone call. I'm just gonna lose as much as I can and get on with life. That hands' been played.
 
Panniculectomy! I remember now. Sigh, it goes with the scene sometimes.

I'm lucky that I managed to get a grip young, before I got very obese (because that damn well could have happened). WLF keeps me in check, but FINALLY I feel really confident I can be slim and fit for life because my "healthy" lifestyle is sort of taking a permanency. Well, my point is, my skin is in pretty good condition and I may as well stay good and not fuck that up! Peoples' testimonies on here make a lot of sense and encourage that....non-fuck up.

I wish I was around when you felt bad last winter, I would have.......drank with you! HAHA I didn't do so well either but my heart was all broken and stuff. Good thing it's just filled with loving kindness and learning non-attachment, now! HA!

Now for my serious post *sits up straight*

I weighed in today for the first time since September. I'm down to 223 from a weight loss failure weight of 230. This sucks, I know.

On to the positive. We got this bitch turned around. Old school tactics are back at work. Today I walked the trail for 7 miles. My times weren't the old times I'm accustomed to but yanno, it got done and that's the bottom line.

I got everything in place. Good eats, home equipment to get me through the winter and the wlf mojo. Let's not forget I've been really trying lately. I need to really nip a few things in the bud (drinking and depression) and we'll get back to 100%.

You heard it here first ;) It's on like Donkey Kong !!

you're 7lbs down :D nice nice i wish i can be 7 down. i am staying away from the scale until next week. and i hope i'll be 225 by then.
and great walk...and for challenge: beat yourself!
wlf mojo is great :D this place keeps me in check. no...i keep myself in check. this place only helps hehe.
you'll do this!
as for depression i gotta tell you the affirmations i started saying to myself every morning really help. i actually read that to change the way you think about yourself it takes 6-21 days of assuring yourself. and the more positive the thinking is the depression will be much easier to handle. so i'm doing them for as long as it takes for them to work lol
hang in there :D

T2, I challenge you!
30lb or bust - whats the reward gonna be though (other than hitting the goal) ? First to loose 30lb! :D
Click to expand...

haha, well you knew I wouldn't run away from this, right Liz !?!? Yeah, it's ON !!

Reward ?? Keeping each other honest is the reward, imo.

I expect you have the edge here seeing how it's your summer and my winter but that's cool, that'll just make me try even harder not to fuck up.

You better be on your 'A' game. You're gonna need it, girlie :D

I appreciate the positive thinking, dear :) Ultimately, I do hold a lit candle in my mind that someday all the things that depress me will be dealt with positively. It's cyclical, with boredom being the catalysis.

I have refused pills from my Doctor. I won't become a dependent zombie. I don't see me as a 'clinical' depressant. Suicide is never a thought. I just get to a certain point where I can go no further with making things happen in my life and it usually comes with the want to drink. I really don't know what else to add to this.
 
?? Precious is Time........use it wisely, you haven't got much
Some of our past mistakes can be learned from as well
If you're not in a hurry, take time to look at the result of what has gone down
You'll be so much better off in the long run
It takes a whole lot of Experience
It takes a lot of patience and time
But you'll win............in the end
GET IT TOGETHER!!!!??​

Andy Bey knew what it is!

HUGS!

I had once read that the Top 100 American Business people had a 70% commonality pertaining to their love for Jazz. Other than a sheepskin, this was a striking point of connection no one anticipated. I think only being Caucasian feathered its way in between degrees and musical preference.

I favor the same regionally-formed music: electric blues. I can almost see the guitarist grabbing a handful of dirt and wiping his hands off much like a baseball player does stepping up to the plate. It's so emotional and earthy. I don't mind I don't hear the lyrics. Words seem really unimportant when the fret board gets caressed.

Ahh chicken! Fine, an Xmas pressie (belated or not) is the reward. Whilst its technically 'summer' in NZ, it doesnt really start until January.

I made an appt at the local gym for tonight to sort out a new routine.
Oh yeah, and im down 1.5lb already "woot!"

Bring on the whipass :D

At times, maybe - depending on who ya ask. I don't make 'funnies' about competitive weight loss, Korrie.

You climb in the ring, you better know how to box. That's what I'm sayin'

This is more than just dropping soda for a month..

Your advantage didn't scare me one iota, girlie. And fuck your technicality about summer/winter. So it's fall/spring, yeah I get it. I know it's a shit ton easier losing in 20 degrees vs. 80 degrees but I did it in both and I'll do it again.

I'll let you pick the 'present' you'll be shipping me. I won't feel guilty if it cost bunches. You can afford gym passes, 6 grand bikes and shit.

All I got is a treadmill and iPod and the heart of a fucking rawrrrrring lion.

Step back, Princess, I got work to do.

lol ooo dem dares fighting words! :D
This is gonna be fun! I gotta admit, its pretty darned difficult to cycle when its 35C (bugger me if i know what that is in F - why you guys use such antiquated measurements is beyond me!). So im unsure who as the advantage here. All i do know is that i have the coolest shape sunburn on my legs!

The "ring of fire" at the top is where suntan lotion stopped and shorts rode up a tad.
