Fat Girl Care Package
Replies
-
I really wanted a Bodymedia Fit but until I can afford one I have opted for the Polar FT 4 HRM which I love.
I have a food scale and it is a godsend...I don't remember the exact brand but I know it is associated with The Biggest Loser in some way.
Feel free to add me if you would like some encouragement. I see a lot of negativity in these forums, which is why I wanted to make a fun category full of support. I will support you any day!!!! I have only been seriously on this journey for about 10 weeks and have already had my fair share of ups and downs. I'm in it for the long haul, though, so I would love to be a part of your journey!
Frozen mixed fruit is one of my favorite snacks! I love frozen peaches.0 -
I really want some light weight "trail runner" type shoes... haven't looked into them to know which one specifically cuz I have no money and it makes me sad
Also want new sports bras and light weight workout pants for outdoor running.
HRM monitor (actually I want a fitbit
)
a food scale and other measuring tools... I've realized I'm still off with my portioning so that would help.
hmmm what else.... yea, I have a lot of things I've wanted at some point or the other but being broke sucks the fun out of that kinda thinking 0 -
my neandermagnon care package would include:
a power cage
an olympic barbell
more plates
the power cage would have a pull-up bar and dips bars on it
a new phone, probably the latest samsung one
a nice car, nothing fancy, just one that's a bit more reliable than my husband's beat up old honda
oh, and on the subject of bras.... one that actually bloody fits me would be nice.... because apparently my combination of mahoosive rib cage and rather small boobs went out of fashion at the end of the last ice age and almost no companies even stock my size!!!!!!!0 -

Cracking me up!!! Maybe look into the Enell we have been talking about? I have yet to try it but it has great reviews and is definitely an over the shoulder boulder holder. I think it would work for the rib cage thing! 0 -
This is a great post! I recently bought Lululemon clothing. It is all they say it is--love it. New clothes motivate me more in the gym for some reason. I really love their headbands. They are very wide and all hair stays in place during execise.0

OOOOh I love the idea of a care package... but i shall have to think of stuff. Can I ask what is hypershread? I am based in the uk and have not heard of it?
grief i still cant think of stuff to go into my care package (this makes me sad) 0 -
I'd give myself some new work out clothes and a few free "ME" hours a week, and some espresso protein powder I've had my eye on! 0

I'm also a Lizzie! Hypershred is a fat burner. I know several people who used it while working out, and I was thinking of trying it out for energy and appetite supression. While I don't depend on pills for weight loss, I have never tried a fat burner and this one was at the top of most lists I read, so I thought I would give it a go.0 -
I have a few things I want but have put off buying since I don't necessarily need them. So into my care package they go!
-Fitbit (I have a hrm so I'm waiting (hoping) for it die so I can buy one :bigsmile:
-Good Running Shoes (non restrictive and natural feeling that are good for wide feet)
-Supportive Sports Bra0 -
Hmm....let me think....
A classic lady's bike (the ones with the low curving bar)
New bras. Period. Don't care the style.
Sexy dress and heels to match
Gift Certificate/Money to get my first tattoo (my body, my temple, I decorate how I want)
A month's worth of spa appointments, paid in full
A year's worth of horse riding lessons.....or a horse, I'll be happy either way.0 -
Oh, I want to play! Here's my wishlist care package:
-Polar HRM
-Anti-chafe cream/gel/powder
-A super-strong sports bra
-New ipod loaded with funky jams that make me want to run harder, better, faster, stronger
-Extra will power0 -

Is the Anti Chafe cream needed for runners rash? I'm new to running and developed that problem. I used some baby anti rash diaper cream and it cleared it right up. Probably TMI on my part, but if this is the reason you need it (assuming since you mentioned running harder), I hope it helps you out 0 -

I just looked them up.... in my band size (40) the cups start in a C.... my cup size is much smaller than that... so not even close :sad:
And I'm already at my goal weight/body fat percentage; my strap size is all due to my rib cage, not extra fat, so it's not going to get any smaller (though my boobs might if I lose even more fat). I like my rib cage and I'm happy with my body.... just it's highly frustrating being unable to get bras that fit me!!!!! There's only one company I know of that actually stocks my size, and they're in the USA so I'd have to pay international shipping to get it, which is a big risk given that it still might not actually fit me.0 -

Would something like that work?
I did a little quick research and women with the same sizing difficulties were talking about the C9 from Champion.
I wonder if that would be a place to look? Sounds like they are available at Target and Wal-Mart and online.
I love a good challenge- and sports bras are always challenging!!!!!0 -
Hmmm. Mine would be a basket for my bike, a new fitbit case (mine is breaking), a pedicure, a tripb to the gym that does 5 dollar drop ins. They have a hot tub!!! Some new smelly lotion and body spray, new sports bra and new workout clothes.0

thanks for doing that The one you linked to won't be suitable because the sides are too high, because another problem I have with bras is the sides of the cups digging into my underarms. I'm kind of a weird shape lol.... the C9 ones look more promising, I've found bras like that in the past that fit me, although they didn't give much support. However the reviews for that one say that it does give a lot of support so I'll see if there's anywhere local that stocks it. thanks 0 -
It could be I need more coffee today, but I don't get it.
I guess I shop too much.0 -
My fat girl care package would be:
A pair of vibram toe shoes
Some osteo-biflex (seems like a good idea)
A hammock
One of those dog leash waist bands (so I don't have to hold the leash while jogging)
A new and stylish rain jacket!
Silly things, but fun for rewards!0 -

I tried every pair of toe shoes I could get a hold of and none fit me correctly. So now I wear Merrell w/ Vibram Barefoots. Same idea, just no toe separation. Love love love them! I used to take Osteo Biflex but my roommate wiped me out and I haven't got a new bottle. I need to get some for sure. The dog leash sounds awesome! I walk two 65 lb dogs on a regular basis and sometimes I wrap their leashes around me to get extra control over them. I will have to look into that.0 -
If you really want to spend your money, I would spend it on good, comfortable, and functional gym wear (including shoes!) ^_^
A gym membership would also be really awesome.
I've already bought myself a ton of gym clothes and it makes me happy to stay at the gym to show off my cute chunky self hahaha
Instead of getting firming lotions, (because they are really temporary. If firming lotions worked as well as they claimed, no one would go under the knife or laser.) I would head to LUSH or just order some AMAZING~~~ bath soaps and lotions because they are just too awesome and relaxing after a hard workout
<3
Some other things that are less of a waste to splurge on:
1. A hula hoop for when you're watching TV and you want to move around instead of sitting down!
2. A measuring tape because it is more accurate than a scale. It's still not 100% accurate, though because people do swell and bloat.
3. Some ziploc bags to portion your cheat snacks and foods ^_^0 -
-new sneakers mine are making my feet numb on the treadmill
-new workout clothes that absorb sweat better
-i think I need a head/sweat band, as sweat is burning my eyes ( but may feel dorky wearing it)
-something to control appetite!!! lolol0 -
Sexy lingerie & a Spray tan lol0
-
Care package is a good idea...
I would do the bra thing, but honestly the other products (although you may be "treating" yourself now) will eventually make me feel like crap because they don't work and are a waste of money.
I would definitely do lingerie or new workout gear!0 -

Check out Bondi Bands... a cute and stylish way to hold that sweat back!0 -
My care package:
Tennis is my thing - I WANT a tie-dye tennis bag! So far have not found one
Tennis camp at Suwanee (University of the South) next May/June - hope to be at goal by then and not bothered by playing on hard courts (rather than soft courts)
And I would like to hire someone to outline my house with Christmas lights next year (yes, weird I know)0 -
Thank you for the suggestions but I already have plenty of gym clothes and will not be buying more until I have gone down two sizes in clothing. I also already have a personal trainer so a gym membership is not necessary. I have more shoes than I know what to do with therefore I will not be including them in my package. Zip loc baggies are always in my house and I have a food scale. On the rare occasion that I get to watch tv I'm watching tv, not exercising. Please don't get offended, but my point is that I have the tools I need to be successful, so now I want some treats and/or possibly unnecessary items. I don't think there is anything to lose by trying a firming cream that may aid my skin in recovery as I lose weight. TRY not depend on. These items are my splurges, my accessories, my non necessities, which for the most part people are understanding. These items aren't my wonder magic items that I think will make me lose weight. Rather than judge the items I want to purchase and suggest what I should spend my money, get a little wild and little less practical (this is the internet) and go all out with the ideas for YOUR care package.
Katelynal: I would love to have someone hang Christmas lights at my house!!!! Not weird at all!!!!0 -
Well, I already recently treated myself to another tattoo for my first 10 percent lost (27 lbs), and my husband bought me shoes b/c he's awesome and my fave summer pair broke on me at work. I also just got a FitBit zip and cheap little food scale to keep this going. Now that I've reached 30, I'm going to do a pedi.
My ultimate goal care package...
Weekend in NYC
Dress from this E Village store: http://www.enzsnyc.com/
Broadway, baby
Another tattoo
The little items like jeans and pedis will happen along the journey. And I'll probably need new Asics when I hit the goal as well.0 -

Hell yeah on the tattoo!!! I'm saving up to finish my left sleeve and I refuse to let myself get anymore little ones until I get that complete. Then it will be starting my right calf sleeve!! What did you get on this previous visit to the tattoo parlor?0 -
I could really use a new sports bra, now that you mention it...
I think my Fat Girl Care Package would include:
A trip up the Hudson River
A delicious shrimp dinner at a waterside restaurant
Tickets to a Broadway show
Everything on the Too Fast clothing website
GOOD orange hair dye for brunettes
Ooo and I almost forgot! I need a fanny pack to carry my junk when I'm out running. Right now I'm using a drawstring backpack to carry my phone, keys and water bottle and it's a pain in the *kitten*.0 -

Try Decent Exposures online. They make their bras to your measurements so your bra will fit you perfectly, even lowering the arm holes or making them bigger. You can even specify what material to make it out of! It might be worth a look to get that perfect bra. I found them when I was looking for nursing bras (which they also make to order) because apparently fat girls aren't supposed to breastfeed. They made me the most comfortable nursing bra EVER.0
