I'm so proud of you for posting this ... seriously ... this is not a real gain. Lots of water ... walk walk walk ... and bam ... you'll step on the scale one morning and it'll be gone. Been there ... done that. The stupid week is over so it's all sunshine from here. :flowerforyou:
Thanks, I know I need to just put it behind me and move forward but it really helps to have someone reassure me that I can continue to do this :blushing:0 -
SW: 164
CW: 159 (still up from my lowest, but at least not back to the beginning)
GW: 144
Come on, can I please just lose weight and keep it off for once in my life?!? :explode: I think that "dieting" is a recipe for disaster...I don't eat terribly, no fast food, I'm lactose intolerant, so I can't have all the good stuff like cheese and ice-cream so that eliminates a lot of junk....I just over-eat...a lot :laugh:
Has ANYONE managed to overcome this? HOW?0 -

Ok....yes.... if you are looking for encouragement... you may want to skip my post this week....
I am still at 219 which is still up 2lbs from the gain last week.... I am seriously in a rut ladies... I know it... I don't know why I won't just pull myself up by the boot straps and get out of it...
I have felt REALLY bad this week... Hoping I'm not coming down with the weird cold/flu thing that is going around here... I have laid around when I have not been working, so...NO WORKOUT>.... AND I would have probably felt better if I would have just got up and worked out, but I seriously could not motivate myself to do anything but lay around and feel yucky....
So, how to dig myself out of this rut.... That is what I'm working on. I will do it!! I HAVE to do it!!! I will not let these last 10 lbs that I lost be for nothing... I have a LONG way to go on this journey.. I CAN"T stop now... I am just going to have to remotivate myself and get back in the game... I will do it, ladies. Sorry I haven't been the motivator that I should be right now... I'll get there....0 -

Best of luck, I wish I had amazing advice but ......I don't:frown: Just sending "good ju ju" your way that next week will go better:drinker:0 -

Come on now Kandykins ... we all have rut events that come and go. You've come a long way baby and the fact that you got on here and posted what's going on is a sure sign that it's pretty much over and done with. You can do this ... now push away from this computer right now and go for a walk ... you'll feel better for it. Go on ... get up and go ... NOW!!! I consider you a dear friend and you have motivated me so much ... and I love you for it ... but if you need a kick in the *kitten* that's just what you'll get ... followed with big time hugs. Take care of you ... YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!0 -

Awww... *hug*
What usually motivates you to work out? Looking at it from a psychological POV you should really think about and figure out what your triggers are that motivate you to workout or make decisions you will be happy with. For some people it is listening to a particular song, for others it might be reading a particular motivational message, or maybe watching a certain tv show or video.
We are all here for you and care about you. *hugs*
Take care,

Good morning everyone ... it's a brand new day ...

Hey everyone, i hope today is going well for you all!
Me and my fiance are kind of at a disagreement. Well, it's a full fledged argument. Let me start by saying I already know I'm a very lucky woman to have him. O.k. So all his life he imagined getting married (a big wedding) and having 3 kids 2-3 year apart. All my life I imagined, well, not getting married and not having any children. :laugh: So here we are 3 years later with an 18 month old daughter and engaged to be married 9/10/11.
So, yesterday we"re sitting on the couch talking about how I've lost and Annabella (my daughter who weighs 23 lbs.) and I'm only like 2 lbs or so away from pre-baby weight and he says: "So I was thinking we should have another." :noway: Ummmm, no. I love my daughter more than I ever thought possible but there is no way in heck I'm ready to even think about having another. We've been arguing ever since.
He has such big plans! Get prego in Nov, have the baby in Aug- Sept and Annabella will be 2 1/2 by then. He's like a baby maniac! lol He see's a baby and his paternal clock starts ticking!
I always told him we were meant to be together because we balance eachother out so well. If it was up to him he'd have 10 babies. lol If it was up to me I'd have 0.
Sorry for the long vent. lol And again I know I'm really lucky to have a man who wants babies and all but sheesh, cut a mommy some slack!0 -

Thanks for the kick in the *kitten*!! :noway: I needed it big time
I wasn't able to go out and go for a walk because it has been raining non stop (but I'm not complaining...we need it so bad)... But, after Kensey (my baby girl) and I took her bubs to Kindergarten today, we went to Wal-Mart (the local hang out :laugh: ) And walked the store several times... I was also pushing the cart so that may have helped a bit...
Yesterday, at the preschool I teach at, I really played hard with the kiddos... because of the rain, we were in the gym for playtime and I turned some music on and we danced, hopscotched with hulahoops (soar calves today from that) and ran around like a bunch of crazy people... I do feel better just from doing that... Now, I need to get back to my DVD workout routine, especially since the weather is bad....
Thanks, again, Maglett!! Love you too, sweetie!! :drinker:

Thanks!! I usually look at things from a logical point of view, but never thought to take my workout to the psychological level :laugh: Thanks for the advice... I am totally going to center myself and refocus today...0 -

Hello All,
I am off work with another bad headache today accompanied by the usual dizziness and vertigo. Sure makes typing fun <insert sarcastic smirk here> though when the letters don’t seem to stay stationary.
Yesterday I saw the doctor at the sleep clinic for my follow up appointment after being told I have sleep apnea and starting on a CPAP machine last month. He indicated I have an iron deficiency (it should be at 50 and mine is 27) and thinks I also have a vitamin D and Vitamin B12 deficiency. He is really concerned about my blood pressure which yesterday was 98/65 but I typically have low blood pressure and he thinks iron supplements will help bring it up and help with a lot of my other health issues too.
So this is making me wonder if I have other vitamin and mineral deficiencies that are causing the other health issues I have. I am going to ask my doctor to have me tested and see what happens.
Well, I am happy I am finally getting answers and look forward to working on correcting them and improving my health even more than I am now.
Hope you are all having a good day! :flowerforyou:
Take care,
Tammy0 -
Kandy jo - Glad your feeling better :flowerforyou:
Tammy - Sorry your not doing so hot but I'm very happy that your getting answers:drinker:0 -

You know what Tammy ... you're right. It's great that some answers are starting to come about. Years of trying to find the source of a problem can be so dang frustrating. You are doing so awesome and every time I see you I get shocked at how awesome you're looking. I hope you feel better soon. Love you. xoxo0 -

Hey everyone! I hope your fridays are going great.
I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get to the gym tomorrow before the wedding I'm in. I'm def gonna need the extra calories! :drinker: :laugh:
Good luck over the weekend!! :flowerforyou:0 -
I've been eating everything in sight.:frown:
Tammy: Glad you are finding some answers. Hopefully, more to follow.0 -
First of all, congrats to everyone! Loser, gainer or plateau-er you're all doing amazing, changing our lives for the better!!
Now Kandy Jo, everyone has ruts! Just set yourself a date (write it in lipstick on your bathroom mirror if you need a constant reminder) when you will start your routine again. Don't stress yourself out about not working out either, I think they say weight loss is 80% nutrition and only 20% exercise! And maybe your rut is your body telling you that it needs some rest. We all know that you of all people CAN DO THIS! You've been such an inspiration and awesome motivator to us all, you just need to stop being so caring and giving and keep some of that magic for yourself! You deserve this! :flowerforyou:
Tammy, glad you are finding answers and I hope everything else goes well!
And to do some tooting of my own horn.. when I weighed myself this morning (I'm a scale addict :blushing:) I got quite the shock! On Wednesday I was 158.0, yesterday was 158.8 and then this morning magically I was 155.8!! I love surprises like that! :bigsmile:
Keep up the fantastic work everyone!! :flowerforyou:0 -

So, lets go girls!!! Lets do this thing!!! :happy:0
