slow is natural my motto is slow and steady wins the race

pepamint83

pepamint83

*sigh* I feel reeeeaaaally bad for my total lack of activity in this group from the beginning.

Anti-socialness and people-phobia has taken over and I've found it incredibly hard to post anywhere, on MFP or other forums I frequent. Just call me lurker gal. There have been several times I've gotten halfway through writing a post somewhere and then stopped and decided there was no point to it.

All of my insecurities have been popping up more and bigger lately, not sure why. I was "off the wagon" so to speak for a few months, but didn't gain any weight back. I just got back in the saddle this last week, and did really good. But the scale didn't think so, and told me that I gained a pound. (I'm also semi-afraid the scale is broked, but that's another story.) I feel really discouraged by the entire weight loss idea. My general defeatist attitude isn't helping either.

I'm at the lowest weight I've ever been, and I find the thoughts of "you've never gotten thinner than this and you never will" and "why even try, you know you're just gonna give up anyway" seem to keep coming back even though I try really hard to stay positive. Forty seven pounds doesn't feel like an accomplishment at all to me anymore. It's taken me over a year to get here, and I feel like I've just been a failure cause it's taken so long and it's getting so hard to keep going.

Oh boy. I really didn't intend such a long post. My point was going to be I'm here if you guys will still have me.

pepamint83

well im here but i dont know how much longer i will stick around cause i cant keep supporting myself

My track record for being consistant in posting isn't exactly the best, but I'm willing to try! :flowerforyou:

baby steps

pepamint83

I am proud to say (to anyone still checking) i was able to do 51 minute walk today so proud since its first time i didnt round the block and actually went to the park...97 here in nyc had to wait for humidity to go down a bit but with my cold iced tea my new arm band for the iPod and my pedometer 6,021 steps i feel really good about myself first time in a long time...birthday i shall conquer U

Livi_Loves_Pink

Yay! That's awesome. =D

pepamint83

thank u i appreciate it i will try again today

Livi_Loves_Pink

Good luck! You can do it!

hurting isnt a bad thing as long as its the good kind of hurting couldnt do walk big big thunder lighting storm came just as i was about to go, should have figured windy ment storm lol.
elliptical but hopefully tredmill will be fixed soon.

Livi_Loves_Pink

Aww! Too bad about the rain. =(

At least it started before you left though, so you didn't get caught in it. I don't think being hit by lightning is what "feel the burn" means. =P

And yeah, I don't mind being sore after I work out, it makes me feel like I did something. But I do like to have the ability to unbend my arms. :indifferent:

Although, I think one of my problems is that I forgot to stretch my biceps. :blushing: It had been sooo long since I'd been able to have a weight heavy enough to challenge them, that it totally slipped my mind. I won't make that mistake again. =P

Hey - I'm a guy, can I be part of your sisterhood?

When I started this thing 8 months ago I was wearing 40 waist jeans. And they weren't loose. My big goal-wildest dream was to someday get back into the 34 waist jeans i was wearing in high school.

A couple months ago that dream came true. Bought 'em, been wearing 'em. Stuck with my program (and plan to for life,,, I've wasted enough time) and continued making progress. At this point I don't know if I'll ever make my goal of 200 pounds, and I'm not really concerned about it. I've upped my caloric intake somewhat with an emphasis on protein - though still running a 600 a day deficit - and I've added weight training 3 mornings a week.

I always was what the gymrats call an "easy gainer", and I can gain mass quickly. Well, I'm gaining muscle mass. My weight has been steady right around 209-211, but,,,

Holy crap! My 34 waist jeans are loose!?!?! Last night I went to the bigbox store and bought a pair of 32/34's. They fit,,, pretty well. You cannot guess my religion thru my pants anyways :laugh:

I think I was in Jr. high - around 14 years old, last time my tukus was this small. That's wild,,, and I'm still going
