I dont think they are physically addictive. But mentally they are for me. But that is great your clothes are fitting better. I loved it when my clothes are loose. I did not even throw away my clothes from when I was heavy. i still wear my blue jeans. LOL

My 4th of july weekend consisted of cleaning and re-arranging my whole house. I got a really good workout. And plus my husband is leaving for a little two week deployment, so it was nice spending a weekend w/ him. He had 4 days off. So, we just enjoyed each other.

I go on sugar binges often lately. Dont sweat it....you will get back on track. I see you are in Kenosha? I used to live in Waukegan, IL. I actually adopted my kitty from the Shelter there in Kenosha...we call her our little Kenosha kitty. LOL

Take care,

Dont worry. You will get back on track in no time. Tomorrow is a new day. So what did you do this weekend? I stayed home w/ hubby and did nothing. But it was fun. Dont worry, i messed up my diet thing too. But did alright today. But I did not get up until noon.

Gotta run

Can I join too please ?

I started my diet 5 weeks ago, in the first four weeks lost 9 pounds, but last week lost a big fat zero

I am really going to knuckle down this week and try really hard.

I'm doing Weight Watchers and feeling a little bit down heartened at the moment.

How are you doing with yours ?

posted 07-12-2002 11:19 AM         

I am not doing well today either. I pigged on tortilla chips last night. But we just gotta keep our heads up and keep on keepin' on.

So u are doing WW right now? How much have you lost so far?

You know what I do to workout? I turn on my music and dance around the house. My hubby will not workout w/ me. The sad thing w/ him is he is Navy. LOL Go figure right?

I have workout videos...but I find that turning on my music and taking about 30-45 minutes to dance really helps me out. For me it is a good workout and fun.

I just found this site, and this seemed like such an inviting thread to make my first post in. I found a picture of myself from May in a pile right next to a picture of myself from last August, and I almost cried after I saw how much weight I put on at school this year! That was 3 weeks ago, and since then, I've lost 11 pounds and 6 inches. I'm so excited to be eating right and exercising again. Doesn't it feel great once you get the motivation to just start?

Right now, I weigh 170 pounds (I'm so happy to be able to say that) and I'd like to lose another 10 before I go back to school at the end of August. I'd really love to get my measurements down at least to what they were last year. My ultimate goal is to eventually get down to 145, but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.

I'm so glad that I found this site. It's exactly what I've been looking for. I'm really looking forward to getting to know some of you!

I bought a used Tae Bo tape not too long ago, and I love it! I'm not exactly the most coordinated person in the world, so I'm still stuck in the beginning level, but even though it seems like the moves are easy enough, I always feel like I've had a good workout. Supposedly, kickboxing is supposed to burn tons of calories. Don't quote me on this, but I believe it was above 600 cals/hour. I would definitely recommend it.

Gabby07, I being using Xenadrine since early june so is being a month and half, my diet is pretty simple this is what I do
first thing in the morning one pill
then 1\2 hr later or an 1 hr
breakfast either one of this that can also be my dinner- cereal(whole wheat such as total), or a shake(protein, or soy base powder), or some fruit w/lowfat cottagecheese
then mid morning another pill
lunch- usually small salad or any other regular meal small portion
mid afternoon- my last pill
snack -a fruit or yougurt
dinner sometimes a skip it or I might eat another fruit
drinks- water all day long
I haven't had the need to use the full dosage wich is 4 pills a day but I like the one in the morning instead of 2 together, so it all depends on how your body reacts, also I began with one for about a week because they were quite strong and I would feel weird all day long until i got used to it.
As far as exercise sorry I am a very lazy person, but I do walk 2-3 times a week, and I have a yoga video which i love because is a great way to relax and strech my body, I also like cardio boxing is fun, I was taking a class in spring semester, so now i am off for the summer but hopefully going back for fall.

I got mine used from someone on eBay. (I know... I'm cheap that way! *L*) I'm sure if you go to a seach engine and enter "Tae Bo" you'll get lots of results (I just did this and got tons of different options) and you can browse around to find the tape you want at the price you want. It's really a lot of fun.

If you need motivation, I'm sure we could give you some. Let me know when/if you get the tape, and then I'll hound you until you do it.

also,i agree with you about the "having to lose weight to having a borderline ED" i fluctuate like that as well. ugh, it's annoying.

Hope I can count on you guys to get me over the really rough spots. I currently weigh 145lbs (started 3 weeks ago at 146) I too try to weigh myself once a week, but sometimes cheat :0

Thanks for listening, and I'll be checking in every few days

b5) is suppose to help with weight loss and acne.
b-complex) you are suppose to take it with b5 because the b5 takes alot of the b vitamins out of the body.
mutigran vitamin) since i'm not eating alot i jsut want to make sure i get all my vitamins i need.

i am going to drink alot of water,hopefully about 5 cups a day or more but i'm trying to be realistic here,8 glasses a day to start off for me is going to be hard,cause i hate water!!!!!! i am ready for tomorrow and kinda excited,i plane to walk on my tredmill five minutes seven times a day,that tredmill about kills me! i smoke and i want to stop that also but i'm taking one bad thing at a time.
so today is july 28,2001 and my starting weight is 200 pounds and my goal is to lose 50 pounds by my birthday which is january 27th......i want to turn 25 with a new outlook and a new body

Skipping breakfast is always a mistake. Not only is it unhealthy overall, but will actually slow down your weight loss. Your metabolism "kickstarts" when you eat your first meal of the day; if your first meal isn't until noon, then you waste several hours of calorie burning. Also, if you eat too little, your metabolism will slow down, making it more difficult to lose weight.
