Oh Lisa....(((((((((((((Lisa))))))))))
That boy needs to grow up. How was he going to plan to take care of a baby if your dd hadn't lost hers? He sounds very lazy. I think the talk is a very good idea. If he doesn't like it then he can just leave. I know it is hard on you but look at it this way...THEY are not helping and that is what is making it hard on you. You're pulling everything for them and they are just taking advantage of you and your dh. I know I haven't read the past threads so I may be missing something here. SIL is the husband...he needs to start acting like one. And one way is to get a job so he can take of your daughter. I hope your daughter is able to see this. I hope your talk turns out good.
lisa im in total agreement wh roni! let us know how it turns out k?((((((((lisa))))))))))

Hey AP....I got off the chromium for the same reason. I didn't think it would make me feel crummy but as soon as I got off I started feeling better. Now all I am taking are my vitamins and my cla....plus my synthroid. I hadn't tried macca. I was already taking enough pills...I couldn't handle any more.-Roni
im sorry it did that to you. i take hromium but typically only bout 500mg daily& im ok with that, but it just sems all these prob started when i started the maca(im not on meds) so we will see. thanks hon :)

OMG Lisa....he got mad because dinner wasn't fixed!!!
Not even my dh does that to me and he works his butt off at work and works off duty jobs. My dh knows better to even say something like that to me. Lisa I hope your dd opens her eyes and realizes what she married. If they ever move out on their own...he is going to do the same to her. That little twirp. I could just smack him across the head. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/hammer.gif-Roni

Hi everyone! I’m only here for a few minutes. Gotta go start ironing our costumes, then exercise & get my shower. The Halloween party we’ve been trying to prepare for is tonight, I can’t wait! :D Unfortunately several of our friends have called to say they’re not going for one reason or another, but there will still be tons of other friends there. This party is always a great time. There will be lots of good food and drinks too – and I’m not gonna worry about any of it tonight. I am not dieting tonight, although I’m going to keep everything in moderation.
Whirl: Good luck on the SB diet with your hubby! No vodka for me until tonight. And there won’t be pizza (or toppings!), but there will be tons of other bad things at the party. I don’t care, I am definitely taking tonight off!
AP: Did you have fun with the twins during their visit? I’ll bet they are SO cute! How ya doing with the afo’s, and how are you feeling today? Yummmm, I love Friendly’s! Enjoy!
Colaz: Do you have your voice back today? Sounds like you did great at Perkins last night – good job! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/t_up.gif
DP: Have fun at the party, but don’t eat too much cake! ;)
Lisa: OMG, I can’t believe the nerve of your SIL! :mad: What is his problem? You definitely need to lay down the law with both of these kids. They are on easy street right now & don’t even know it, and they think that’s where they’re gonna stay. I’m so sorry they’re putting you through this, but you have to get serious and make some demands, hon. No iffs, ands or butts – it’s got to be your way or the highway! (((((Lisa)))))
Shel: Hope you’re having a blast in Hershey right now!
Happy: Hooray, I’m so glad to hear that everything went well for your dd yesterday! What a brave little girl! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif I’ll bet you slept great last night, now that it’s over!
JoJo: You were talking about guacamole yesterday - I love that stuff, especially when it’s homemade! My dh is making some right now to take to the Halloween party tonight. You’re not really gonna leave us, are you? Do you think you’ll have just a minute or two now & then to pop in and say hello? We’re gonna miss you! :( BTW, congrats on the 3 lbs!
Hi Roni, Snoopy, Froggie, Sue, Patti, Freak, Amanda (where are you?) and everyone else, too! Have a great Saturday!

May to go JoJo loosing 3 lbs! :bouncing:
Dietprincess, sorry that you didn't get to your goal weight this morning! Just keep working at it, your doing wonderful! When you say puppy kindergarten do you mean regular school kindergarten or puppy kindergarten, I've never heard it refered to that before? LOL. Are you a teacher? Have fun at the baby's b/day party!
Whirl, DH kind of sounds like my father. He tries a vareity of different diets, but only half-heartedly. He has lost quite a bit of weight over the last couple of years though. I don't know if I could ever do a permanent low-carb diet, because I know it isn't just a diet but a way of life (well, that what Atkins says at least). I know how frustrating it is to really work at somethign and not loose anything, just keep working at it! My mom is on Atkins (I know I've said that a couple of times already) and she is also at a platoe right now, but she says she would be upset but she just feels so good. I'm happy for her. So you were going for special ed. at first for college? It sounds like things are going very well for you (business wise). I don't know what is going on right now with my voice. It has been going on for three days strong now. I was hoping I would wake up this morning and it would at least be better, but it just seems to be getting worse. I'm starting to get a little annoyed.
Roni, yeah I was up pretty late last night but I really did have a great time! I slept till noon today, something I havn't done for a long time! I feel so rested!
((((((((Lisa)))))))))))), sorry about the difficulties with your SIL. You have every reason to be upset! You give that boy a peice of your mind! Tell us how it goes :)
Houdini, I love Halloween! Especially the cutsy stuff. It is my second favorite holiday, next to Christmas. Have a great time tonight and stay out of trouble! My voice is not back yet, and I think it is worse. I'm getting pretty frustrated, three days now.
Well, I should eat lunch now. I've done so well over the last three days (except for last night when I ended up staying under 1000 calories, I know that isn't good). I'm going to treat me to one of those slim-fast hot-meals, I don't know which one yet though. They are just the same nutritionally as the other products (shakes and bars), but there really good so I'm using them just on a reward basic (so I don't get sick of them). Well, there is this country hoe-down festivle. I'm not sure if I'm going yet, I would like to. I have a lot of work to do for school on Monday (I got nothing done yesterday), and I think I should maybe take one quite day and maybe I will get my voice back. I'm glad I'm not feeling sick. My throut doesn't even hurt, I just have had no voice (well, a voice that keeps going in and out and sounds painful) for the past three days. I'm getting a little frustrated. Well, I'll be around.
God Bless,

Hmmmmm, I see that the "Walk Away The Pounds" thread is no longer accessible. Must be the argument got pretty heated, huh? Hope I don't get suspended or anything for my part in it - I tried to be as diplomatic as possible, and I don't think I was rude or did anything wrong. Guess we'll see what happens. It's just so hard to believe that someone could think that exercise doesn't help weight loss at all, but I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion, right? Oh, well.

What, loose weight with no excercise? It's possible, but it goes so much quicker with. What was the person's argument? I never read the thread (too late now).
Houdini
10-25-2003, 03:42 PM
I totally agree that it IS possible to lose weight without exercise, but my point was that exercise definitely helps.
Somehow a bit of a disagreement arose in that thread because one person said that exercise does nothing to help weight loss, and everyone else disagreed. It was getting a little nasty the last time I read it, but there were more posts later that I never got a chance to read, so it must have gotten pretty bad for the moderators to have to delete it. We need to remember to keep things civil here, whether we disagree or not. There's no way all of us are going to agree on everything, right?!!

That is totally true. How could a conversation like that get nasty (I'm not asking for an answer). Everyone is going to have different views. I do have a question. Last year the college nurse in a class I had with her (called Wellness) said that the Atkins diet and others like it were very dangurous and the public shoudl be made aware how bad they are. I believed her, because she was a nurse. When my mom said that a good family frind of our was going on Atkins, I was worried about her. I read up on the latest facts and if you do the Atkins (and others like it) correctly it is very good. Have there been any arguments about that on here? People being totally my diet is right, your's is the *****! LOL, sounds kind of funny but for some reason I could see how it would happen. If that nurse was on here...wow then there would be some fire-works.

Colaz, my step-dd is in nursing school right now, and her nutrition teacher is also telling them how dangerous the Atkins diet is. I haven't asked her for any details, so I don't know what points this teacher is making. I personally think that it COULD be dangerous, but if you are careful and you read the book & follow it correctly, it sure doesn't seem dangerous to me. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong. I just know it't not the diet for me, because I need carbs, and because I have high cholesterol. But if the diet works for a person, and they can stick with it for life and not have any ill effects, why not go for it?!!

Houdini, the teacher last year was saying it really messed up a person's kindneys. Atkins admits that it could if someone followed it incorrectly. Like, if they ate just meat and didn't take the correct supplements and ate lots of vegtables. Atkins also says that it could also be bad if someone stayed on, or what is it called... well the beginning when you eat JUST meat and veg. Later you are supposted to add in carbs. slowly until you stop loosing weight and stay the same, and then you are supposted to back off like 10-15 carbs (or something like that). Atkins helps you find the exact meal plan for each person individually.
Another thing is, even though eating just meat, cheese shoudls aweful for Cholesterol but it isn't. IT is actually the exact opposite. My paretns, who are both on Atkins have had the lowest Cholesterol levels they have had in years. My doctors friend (who is also a doctor) put one of her patients on the Atkins diet to lower her cholesterol level. I've seen it work first hand. I can't explain how it works, even though it makes sense when they explain it at Atkins.com. I am with you though, I need my carbs. I would really think about starting Atkins again during the summer, but it really is a life-long way of eating. You never go back to eating the way you did before, it programs your body in a way. I coudln't do that. Anyway, I'm happy right now with slim-fast.

My paretns, who are both on Atkins have had the lowest Cholesterol levels they have had in years. My doctors friend (who is also a doctor) put one of her patients on the Atkins diet to lower her cholesterol level. I've seen it work first hand. I can't explain how it works, even though it makes sense when they explain it at Atkins.com. I am with you though, I need my carbs. I would really think about starting Atkins again during the summer, but it really is a life-long way of eating. You never go back to eating the way you did before, it programs your body in a way. I coudln't do that. Anyway, I'm happy right now with slim-fast.

AP :)
I read your other posts...it sounds like you're feeling pretty down and depressed about this diet thing!
You know....the other day I almost just said the heck with this...I quit and I'm JUST going to give up and I'm NOT going to do this diet anymore.
I've been the same for months and I've tried everything...eating less, more, changing around what I'm eating, less carbs, more carbs, calores, etc. and the scales are not moving....at least they aren't moving up past where I was since vacation..but nothing seems to be working. Right before vacation I was seeing some progess and then since then NOTHING! :(
I started taking the CLA this week and back into my exercising so hopefully something good will happen soon!
You KNOW WE ALL get this way once in a while.
Its so HARD to stick to it EVERY SINGLE DAY. . I never have and never will - its just human nature to get off track! And then, of course, after you do, you feel especially yulky and down and depressed when the scales just aren't doing what we want them to do.
You've got to let you body have something once in a while thats off of the diet..... :)
Now.....let me SEE YOU SMILE!! :)
AND YOUNG LADY...THIS IS YOUR MOTHER TALKING NOW.........YOU GET THOSE AFO'S ON RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE! :D :D LOL
I'M SURE ITS TOUGH TRYING TO GET USED TO THEM..ITS BEEN ABOUT 2 WEEKS GOING INTO 3 RIGHT...BUT STILL THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GET ADJUSTED TO WHERE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE IN THEM.
((((((((((((((HUGSSSSSSSSSSSS))))))))))) )))

Just wanted to add. I'm wathcing Lion King right now. I love this movie, it makes me so happy! I bought it on DVD when it came out. I can remember watching this in the theatres when I was young (one of the few things I can remember from when I was young, bad memory LOL). I'm getting a little home-sick :)

I have never seen that movie. I should watch it sometime, because everone I know who has seen it says it's great. Sorry you're homesick! Will a hug help? ((((((((Colaz)))))))) There, I'll bet you feel better now! LOL!
OK everyone, I'm off to exercise. I promised myself I'd do it 5 times this week, and have only done 4 so far, so today's my last day to be able to keep my promise. Then I'll have to shower & start getting ready for the party. Hope you all have a great night!

no kidding!
Col..glad you are enjoying your Sat. and that you got some much needed rest!
Houdini....do I detect some fun tonight or what...you a school girl and your DH a priest!@!@!@!@##@#@#

That is wonderful that you came all this way by yourself! I really had a lot of encouragement from my family and friends when I lost lots of weight at a time (well, healthy wise still but when I really stuck to it). I found that I really lost more weight when it was just for myself and not for someone else. Last year my sister told me once (I know this wasn't very nice) that she would love me to fit into a size 16 brides-maid dress for her wedding so we woudln't have to have it specially made, because normally brides-maid dresses don't go past size 16. I was tried loseing weight with that in mind, but I found myself doing it half-heartedly. I told my brother what she said and he told me "Lesa didn't mean it the way she sounded. Loose weight for yourself. If you are happy with the way you are then we are happy with the way you are. If you arn't happy, we will support you all the way." That is what he said last year that helped me loose another 30 lbs.

I just realized something! I am wearing a shirt right now that I bought my Junior year in highschool and I can remember it being a bit tight around my hips and stomach, and now it is huge. I even my my kneese tucked under. Sorry,little off subject but it makes me happy :) LOL
Just thought I'd add I know it is a bit stretched out, but still....

he he, about the salt thing. I know this is a little disgusting but when I eat peanuts I suck on the shells for a bit before I eat the peanut. I just thought I would share...and you should see me eat sun-flower seeds. By now I could set a world-record for quickness. LOL

AP, how about making a deal with yourself? I do this with my son, now I KNOW he's a lot younger... but I think the idea would be good for anyone. We have a deal that if he wants to watch a movie, he HAS to wear the braces... no braces, no movie. It works out because he gets into the movie and relaxes a bit with the braces. Maybe make a similar deal with yourself?
Just a thought!
