Thanks peeps I feel really good about this. Oh wow the weight game is not funny. I wish I could just take time off from work and work out 3 times a day to make this stuff go away faster.

That is exactly what I needed. Mental and cyber hugs from people who truly understand. Indianlight-pink isn't too much to ask for is it. Thank you for understanding I just want to be a girl. Wheetsin you are always here and thank you. Asics is what I found at the Run and Walk store for $85. I did go on their website weeks earlier and they are still ugly. LOL Yes I bought stuff from Junoniia in the past and it is pricey. I want to pay target prices like Turner24 said but I will not quit so I can go to Target. I am happy to say I can no longer fit my clothes that I bought from Junonia. "Milestone" Turner24 thank you for now I will go the Catherine's but I don't want it to be my only option anymore. I want to go to target, Kmart, Avenue, Ashely Stewart and the $10 store. LOL I haven't been able to get on the doctors scale in years. They get an added weight then it breaks, then they don't replace it. How inconsiderate is that crap. They want you to feel like crap, they are saying we don't care about you. No you go ahead and vent but I am not going to bash the skinny nurses, what for. I hope you have a great weightloss even with PMS. I will not give up. Tann you are doing amazing. I see your numbers coming down. Keep up the great work and I will watch my feet. LOL Thanks ladies.

January 21 is the 3rd Sunday of the month. Where's the meeting being held? Who's coming?

Yes they work well for me. I usually get meatloaf or turkey with a veggie or mashed potatoes. The chicken or pasta does not always work for me. They are great for keeping your calorie count down.

I am serious about my exercise right now and want to make the investment into good walking shoes. I found some less then $100 which I think is good. I found out I need a freaking size 14 ww. They are kinda ugly but feel good. I can't even get a pair of shoes that look decent. I just feel like the freaking 459 6'1" monster again. I just don't feel normal. I can't buy normal anything. What the hell is a size 32. Girls don't wear 14, oh yeah of course they are mens shoes. Can I simply get a pair of pink running shoes, NO I CAN'T. Can I just go buy cute work out clothes. No I'm in the big shop Catherines looking for grandma wear and the Big and Tall mens shop looking for sweats. Come on something has to give. I'm still motivated. I'm not going to let this stop me from doing what I need to do but it is most certainly discouraging. Normal, average....psssshhh :cry :think :straight :tired :phanvan :huytsao

Chubby Cheerleaders ....what's that? I accept cheerleaders. Thank you for rooting me on and I am here to push you back. Come on Niecyrenee what have you been doing? What are you going to do the rest of this week?

Avilla we are in this together. Bottom line exercise is key, that is when I lose weight consistently. Why do I stop exercising? Because it is easier not to do it but I know I can't reach my goals in the time frame I want if I don't exercise. I have to put it in my head and JUST DO IT!!!! NOT THINK ABOUT, NOT TALK ABOUT IT BUT DO IT! Doing it means everything. If you need exercise shoes or clothes to make you comfortable and not hurt yourself you need to do it. If you need a fill get it. If you need to get your blood pressure checked, see your doctor. If you know you are not drinking your Water drink it. We may say easier said then done, sometimes we just need a helping hand. We may need someone to go with us to the store or to the doctor. We may need someone to call and say did you do your 10 sit ups or your 5 minutes of walking 3 times that day. We make it hard but we together can make it easier. I know I need help, I need people to motivate me and keep me going. Everyone here helps me directly or indirectly when they post. THANK YOU AVILLA, THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

I got mine yesterday thanks.

What is NHS?

I'm right there with you. I am back to drinking a shake in the morning and before noon I can have some cheese or nuts. You know something crunchy. Can you get more in at lunch? If so try a nice salad with meat and cheese to curb the major hunger at night. Chili and soup always go down nicely for lunch.

Creating an Effective Home Workout By Greg Shealey, M.S. One way to stay in shape when you have a tight time schedule, but certainty not the only method, is to create an at-home circuit training routine. A good circuit training routine has various combinations of exercises and can be performed when access to equipment is limited. For the person with a busy schedule and limited workout equipment, circuit training can be performed in very little time. A good circuit training routine encompasses several types of exercises such as weight training, flexibility, aerobics and calisthenics, just to name few. An effective circuit training routine is designed with several different types of exercises. Most circuit training routines consist of seven to 12 different exercises. As you begin working out, each exercise must be designed so that you can move quickly from one exercise to another. Each exercise should be designated to developing a specific area of your body. For example, exercise 1 may be lateral arm raises for the shoulder muscles (utilizing small hand weights); exercise 2, push-ups for chest development; and exercise 3 will be leg lunges to build up the quadriceps in the legs. Between each exercise, you may perform 30 seconds of jumping jacks or aerobic steps to maximize a continuous flow. Over time you can add or change exercises to meet your specific needs. The goal is to maintain a flow of muscular endurance activities. Although circuit training is mainly for muscular endurance, if a continuous workload is maintained, the workout benefits may transfer over into cardiovascular development. Depending on time and your fitness ability, a circuit training routine can be performed in as little as 25 minutes. When time permits, you can always increase the duration and/or intensity of your workout for further development. Some other good choices of at-home exercise routines include yoga, aerobics and tai chi.

Hey count your blessings that the other stuff hasn't hit you yet. You are doing great, keep it up. What about exercise, what are you doing? How's the water intke coming along?

Hey MorningFuneral I missed you but you have a great "excuse" to be MIA. What a good hubby you have. MF did you....wait a minute I don't think I should abreviate your name like that. I'll just say Morning. Hey are you counting your calories, it doesn't look like you have a enough calories there. You have to feed your body or it goes into starvation mode and you will not be able to maximize your lost. Avilla it likes a lot but just count your calories and keep the carbs low. I got you Kareyquilts, check post #69 and #70 on page 5. Great job on your food and exercise for the day. WOW time2live you are doing it. You are jumping out the gate and running. EVERYONE TAKE A LOOK AT TIME2LIVE!!!!!!! TAKE NOTES!!!!!

It is a shame when you have to get organs removed due to your eating habits. I am so ashamed.

Okiefamily I'm with you, seeing others exercise motivates me too. Avilla you are already a winner. Don't let anything distract you from your course. You have a plan so stick to it, we are all in this together.

cheating schmeating you did get over it, NEXT

Well you have come to the right place. Welcome!!

One more to add to the banana bunch. Avilla it took you long enough. I see you are not eating anything. You need fuel for the engine to run and the right kind of fuel. You can't put diesel fuel in a SUV that requires unleaded. Hello People we have to look at the nutritional value of what we are eating not just calories. Fuel your body to get the best milage.
