Plus size-Super size weightloss support

beautifuldisaster, you can do this. With 4 little ones, you have a stressful life. I know what it is like to eat from stress and anxiety. I finally looked at myself at 230lbs. and was disgusted. I have a naturally petite frames. Little tiny ankles and wrists. My sister has a much larger frame. I want to be healthy and it would be nice to be able to shop without stress. Set a realistic goal and take one day at a time. If you feel overwhelmed, log on quick! I have found that grabbing a bottle of water will stop me from eating something I shouldn't.

Hey everyone hope your weekend went well, let me know.

Hello beautiful Ladies and Gentleman:flowerforyou:
I had my grandchildren all week and didn't log my calories or my exercises. I just parked my little red wagon at the curve and today I went back and it was right there where I left it. I was really amased that I hadn't gained back any of the weight I had lost, even so they talked me into making homemade doughnuts, breadsticks and other high calorie stuff.
So today is a new day and back to the routine, I hope all is well with you....
Have a great day
Gabi:drinker:

So maybe if I just stick with what they recommend before the exercise?

I'm having a hard time with eating the full 1200 calories I'm supposed to, let alone the ones I earn from working out, but I'm really trying. I think you should too. Seems I've stopped losing weight (not gaining any either though) for a bit, but I think it's because my body is trying to figure out what the heck is going on. LOL And I think I remember reading in another post not to be surprised if you do gain weight for a couple of weeks, until your body gets used to it.

i just recently hit my second plateau. i've noticed it takes about 3 weeks of persistence to get through it. i agree with ya. sometimes i think my body is saying, "what the hell?"

I really wish I would have started with my weight from last week, I started at 283 and now am 278 so that's five that I could have charted:grumble: oh well at this weight what's five pounds, and with that said I think I'm going to stick with the before workout calories, I think that if I eat the earned ones that'd be maintaining?:huh:

you can chart those calories still go to check in, the edit entries, then scroll to the bottom where it says add new entry. place last weeks date and weight

Passionerica,
To answer your question yes we did catch the pig that night but not by me personally. She actually had a lot of stamina and when she finally slowed down our friends grabbed her while my husband put her harness on. It was quite a night in Oklahoma. My friend even commented that Jeff Foxworthy could use this in his "you might be a redneck" act.

To apigsavedmylife...Pigs and Oklahoma...two of my favorite things! I went to OSU for awhile! I'm glad the pig got caught and you were able to set some good goals for yourself.


I'm really struggling this week. I do good during the day, but then night comes and it's like the beasts are unleased. I had a bad weekend this past weekend because we were out of town, but I did get lots of exercise in the form of walking around at the fair for about 5 hours on Saturday. I just hope I can get it together for tomorrow. :ohwell:

Okay another day, another meal lol doing great so far but it's only about 9:30am LOL but anywho, how's everyone doing??? Does anyone else have probs with getting their H2O in? Maybe that's why I get these demons that yell GIVE ME FOOD, I'm mistaking it for thist? idk what are your thoughts on this? Sara

I just cant get my eating undercontrol, I binge and binge day after day, nothing I do helps.
I'm hateing myself right now, :sad: :mad: :explode: I just cant get it right:mad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

I don't know if i did this right or not but I wanted to share with Mary, don't hate yourelf, i know that feeling all to well. I just got back on the healthy eating yesterday and my exercise consisted of a walk one block! doesn't sound like much but considering i wasn't doing anything at all for the last 8 months i am ok with that for yesterday. Today is a new day!:flowerforyou: I started at 260 lbs and was down to 218 when i fell off track and started going back to old behaviors now i have gained much of the weight back. However not all of it and I am recomitting to it today. I just want u to know u are not alone, and u can do it. One thing that helps me is I have my "special" water bottle, i fill it first thing in the morning and i carry it everywhere i go and keep it refilled. If i get a taste for something and i know i am not hungry i add a packet of crystal light to the bottle. I have found that the peach/mango tea with metabolism booster is really good. Remember even a small victory is a step toward success. Last night was the first night i did not binge eat to the max right before bed. I really felt better this morning from just one day of healthier eating. Hang in there and have a successful day.

I know how you feel in the morning after a non binge night, If I do go on a night binge, I feel like I had a hard night of drinking and hungover. That right there is motivation not to binge. As for the crystal light, have you tried the lemonade, one of my favs! I put it in a bottle 1/2 full of water, throw it in the freezer then the next day fill with water, nice and icey treat!

Girl everyone has those days, don't let it get you down!:flowerforyou: I had one of those yesterday, I when I woke up this morning, when I flipped my little daily quote calendar it said this, Choose rather to punish your appetites than to be punished by them. by Tyrius Maximus. It also says, When you sit down to eat with a ruler, observe carefully what is before you. Proverbs 23:1. Now that doesn't mean that I am going to kill myself if I over eat. But now when I go to eat I'll be 'observing' what is before me

Okay another day, another meal lol doing great so far but it's only about 9:30am LOL but anywho, how's everyone doing??? Does anyone else have probs with getting their H2O in? Maybe that's why I get these demons that yell GIVE ME FOOD, I'm mistaking it for thist? idk what are your thoughts on this? Sara

Taking all the water in that I'm supposed to has been a real challenge for me. For the first time though, I think I'm really going to get it all in TODAY!! I'm already down 40oz. and it's not even noon. I just have a 20oz. bottle and know that if I've filled it and emptied it four times during the day, I'm good. I haven't been able to make it so far, but I think...no...I KNOW I'll be able to do it today! I think I actually read somewhere that for every 25lbs. you are overweight, you're supposed to add on another 8oz. of water! Has anyone else heard that before too?

Oh btw everyone how about picking a day to post progress, aka weight loss, I would like to do this because it gives me something that I HAVE to do, and I don't want to have to post a gain:laugh: I try to weigh on Thursdays but I'm willing to change, what do you all think?
Sara

I think it's a great idea.

I love the Thursday Posting day. That id the day we here at work weigh in and it is a great day because it is not the weekend yet and because it is not monday either and we all hate mondays.

Ladies and gentelman please please don't get disscouraged when you slip it is okay, just the next meal (not the next day or week) start over and if you really want something sweet just allow for it in your calories. I am not a DR but I have been doing this for almost a year now and I have found succsess and I am very happy with my progress (most of the time) I have found if i want something sweet i add it in my calories Wal-mart has an Ice cream sandwich that is only 100 caloriers and it is as big as a regular one AND it tastes like the original. I can also get a JR. size frosty from Wendy's and it is only 150. You just have to add it in your calories. As far as binge eating when i want to do that i pop some popcorn and i even get the butter lovers and i mean the full flavor stuff and I eat the entire bag (popped) Guess what it is only 110 calories for the whole bag yes we can have that. it really helps or just fill your house with stuff you can eat not the sweet stuff. Eat pickels they are so few in calories. I have eaten 5 pickels at once just to get rid of the snack monster.


We can do it ladies and gentelmen YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!
