Bump

Thanks everyone :) It can be done :) Keep up your hard work :)

I think I have been working on this for about a year, maybe a little more. I had lost around 35 pounds, and then I just maintained that for a while. I have lost almost 30 pounds since September.

Awesome Job!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:

I use to workout five days a week. I was doing an hour of cardio five days a week, and about twenty to forty minutes of strength training every other day. The weight lose was very slow. I also became worn down. In september I decided to stop worring so much about making sure to get in the perfect amount of cardio. I still…

I just read an article in my fitness magazine about Green Tea. The article said both are work great.

Awesome Job!!!!!! you look great!!!!!!!:smile:

I wouldn't....there are some not so pretty side effects :blushing: Stay active, and watch you portion sizes...Even if you lose weight with the Alli, you will more than likely gain the weight back in the end. It is more likely that you will keep the weight off for good, if you do it the right way :)

I think a huge part of overcoming this eating disorder is to forgive yourself. I know all about hating yourself during and after a binge, but one thing that has helped me has been not to beat myself up when I fall off the wagon. I think when I use to hate myself during and after a binge, my negative emotions kept me…

Yes!!!! I have had a huge problem with binge eating. I thought I would never be able to get control of my binge eating. I felt hopeless about this. I went crazy trying to make sure that I did an hour of cardio plus strength training at least five days a week. I would come home from work, and eat for about three hours. If…

:flowerforyou: That's AWESOME!!!!! so happy for you

Thanks everyone for all of your comments. My kids got the kinect for Christmas, and we did get the Just Dance 2 game for the kinect. I have had a bad cold, so I haven't tried it yet. I have watched them play it though, and it does look like fun. Does anybody know if they make zumba for the Kinect? I do like the way you…

No I am confident in the fact that people do treat overweight people different. I was a very social person when I was bigger. I would even try to talk to some of these people, but they looked at me as if I was nothing. Now they want to talk to me. I can tell the difference. I also remeber before I gained weight how people…

Thanks everyone :)

thanks everyone for your comments. @ 123linz I am sorry for you situation too. My mother just turned 64. My brother is a doctor, and he has been trying to talk her into having surgery. She is afraid of doing that, and I don't know much about it.

Thanks :) that's Mt. Hood... In Oregon :)

Great Job!!!!! I can totally see the weight loss!!!!

oh sorry I mean today I am 188!!!! :smooched:

Awesome job!!!!!!! you look great :drinker: thanks for sharing :smile:

I have had those same feelings lol. I finally got tired of looking at my baggy pants, and started wearing the right size. After a while the pants started to feel more comfortable. I went from a size 20 to a 16 to a size 14. I just went and bought three new pairs of size 14 jeans, and now I am finding that my brand new…

I use to tan, and now I am dealing with skin cancer......wish I could go back and and never step foot in a tanning salon. Now when I see people talking about how they just like to relax, or they look so much better with a tan, I just want to scream at them, and tell them to wake up!!!!!!! Tanning can KILL YOU!!!!!! Skin…

Thank you :)

thank you all for your positve comments.

thank you :)

Wow!!!!! You look AWESOME!!!!!!! Great Job!!!!:happy:

I would say be very careful in the sun. there are other ways to get vitamin d. I have a 4 inch scar on my back from skin cancer, and I have to get checked every 6 months. I use to feel that a little sun wouldn't hurt, and now I know different.

Thanks all for your comments :) I think I'm going to get one next week :)

I am so very happy for you! Great Job! My mother is in her 60's, and has type 2 Diabetes. She is very overweight. My brother is a medical student, and has been trying to talk her into having surgery. She is very nervous about this. I haven't given her my opinion on this matter, because I don't know what to think about it.…

My daughter has a friend, and her parents drive me crazy. Both parents are over weight, and they both say the most horrible things about their daughter's weight. A couple of weeks ago I ran into the little girl and her mother at a school event, and her mother remarked about how tall my daughter is getting. Then she went on…

So sorry that you are going through this. I don't have any advice for you, but I will keep you in my thoughts. I hope you feel better soon.
