  • You have valid reasons for eliminating the excess weight. Good for you! Your son's father is dishonorable (who treats the mother of your own child that way?!?) and disrespectful. What you eat is none of his business, nor should he argue about such things with the adult woman who produced his child. Only fearful &…

  • Just went through this situation. Some (long!) notes from my experience- may not resonate with all, but is authentic for me: 1) Understand about discomfort. Not a bad idea to watch a session or two to determine the 'lay of the land/sea'. Figure out etiquettes, demeanors, if the lanes are split or circle (split is so much…
    in Am I too fat to go swimming? Comment by K2ofCU August 2013
  • Am here- just joined this group. Been doing it legitimately for two weeks - have lost ~ 6 lbs (have to look at specifics). Had made mistake about 'mixed vegetables'- the 'mixed vegetables' package in the store has too much peas/corn to be legitimate (in my estimation), but you live/learn. The diet is definitely workable,…

  • So appreciate this post! - thanks! :) I find that I'm far more dehydrated than famished . (Our pool does not allow us to bring in water bottles for lap swim, since someone during the daytime session (non-lap-swimmer) brought in liquor -eyeroll. Given the hedonistic nature of lap swimmers-joke- we're talking to pool…

  • So happy for you! You should be proud! :) I just started the 4 Hour Diet last week. Had some hiccups the first week- the whey protein (vs. whey protein isolate), that 'mixed vegetables' were NOT the mix found in the stores, that pumpkin may/may not be on the diet, etc.- but believe that I am on my way. So glad to hear that…

  • IF you have tried stevia and do not like it- DO try several different brands /forms (tinctures, liquids, powders, brands, etc.) before casting a final verdict. Some have a strong licorice taste; some have other binders/mix-ins that you may not like (READ the labels!), and some are just great. DO give it a chance- it is…

  • Hi- just saw this! I help a friend who runs an animal rescue in the Quincy /Hamilton area! :) KUDOS to you for 12 lbs lost! KUDOS to you for recognizing the need to avoid meds /reverse diabetes (if possible)! (Am assuming type 2? - as type 1 isn't reversible) SO important, yet our culture is now so tolerant of diabetes as…

  • Understand the sentiment (and think it would be preferable to doing it alone at home! :) - but you'll likely not find a exact P90X class (nor should it be available under normal conditions). Reason: P90x is a product sold for individual home use. That licensing agreement does NOT extend to not-for-profit, commercial use.…

  • THIS. But- Don't get down. Don't get mad. DO get even. Think POWER (taking control, setting standards as to how you as a woman WILL be treated, and establishing consequences for bad treatment), NOT PATHETIC (which is seeking rescue, pity-poor-tiny-me, infantile/juvenile status.) . If you don't think small can be powerful-…
    in Be called fat and can't stop crying :'( Comment by K2ofCU September 2012
  • (nb: NOT directed at ANY ONE personally- just observations from my own life): When it comes to exercise- regardless of time: You can throw up all sorts of rational, reasonable roadblocks as to why you can't, why it's inconvenient, why it's (fill in adjective)- and you will be RIGHT. You won't get fit, you won't be healthy,…

  • THIS INDEED! SO illuminating! A terrific exercise- IF you don't beat yourself up too much about it! So you ate what you ate- now you know! I did something similar- I just got into the habit of tracking BEFORE modulating intake, increasing exercise. The weight didn't go on in two weeks. As such, it's not coming off in two…
    in Went to Subway for lunch and Jarod would NOT be proud! Comment by K2ofCU September 2012
  • Awareness is power- now you know, so now you know what to do! Don't be too hard on yourself: I spent the summer drinking a 'real fruit slush' that was SO tasty, so (seemingly) healthful- until I discovered that it was 670 calories / 177 g carbs per serving. OK- it was a HUGE serving (44 oz- could swim laps in it!), but…

  • Am near where you are at (philosophically)- here's what I've found: - Increase in exercise can result in increase in appetite. Watch it! LOG EVERYTHING! - I found that it was important for me to establish the exercise habit first. HOWEVER, I saw virtually no changes in my weight /clothing sizes UNTIL I started logging my…
