Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp

[tann 2]

Thanks Kareyquilts for the compliments:biggrin1:

Avilla, I agree with Neveragain that you have to be gaining muscle and it will start to burn the fat, don't give up now. I know you won't because you have come to far. Just keep doing good, somethings has got to give. Your menu looks low carb and your workouts make me tired from just reading them:eek: Keep your head up,,,,and maybe just stay off the scale until the end of the month.:welldoneclap:

Sorry, I am just so aggrivated...I did lose 2 lbs overnight, but still not back to my 60 lbs...But I will just keep working on it...Even if I dont lose anything for a while the running and working out will still make me healthier in the long run...I am going to be a very strong woman after I get all of this muscle that the scales show that I keep gaining...lol

Ok, I finally gave up...I went ahead and called for another fill...I am going in on the 30th...The last dr that I saw in Jaunuary for my fill was not my regular dr and he said that I couldnt have another one till I had lost about another 30 lbs...but I only lost about 9 lbs since then, but I think that just a little bit extra will give me that little push that I need to get over my hump...Everyone wish me luck

Happy Monday to all! Dh and I had a wonderful weekend away celebrating our anniversary but now it's back to business. Dh took me shopping and I got some new clothes. It was high time since the others hung so badly on me. I love being able to put on smaller sizes! It's still a shock to me.

I started m/e again today. Planning to do it all week. I go back to the doc on the 30th and would love to be down another 10 lbs. Time will tell.

Congrats Tann on your great loss this week!!!!

Avilla, I am with you in the "I'm working my butt off, so why is the scale not moving club" and it SUCKS!!!!

In our minds we know about the whole muscle weighing more than fat and all of the other stuff - but we still want that number to move on the all important scale. I've decided that I am going to quit measuring my success on a piece of electronic equipment. Instead I am going to see that I feel better, I look better and I'm in better shape. I am being a better influence on my kids because they are exercising with me and the scale can kiss my butt. I am more than a number, and so are you, so let's give up the scale for a month and see what happens. After all, I only weigh myself when I'm trying to lose weight. I hardly ever was scale obsessed when I was eating my way up to 310 pounds so maybe if I give up the scale the pounds will go away the same way they appeared - silently - MAYBE - this will be the secret to my success!!!

Later,

:faint:

Avilla: You stand up for yourself about getting fill. Don't let the doc push you around. You're suppose to get a fill because you need one. If you're hungry and not filling restricition than you should get a fill. You don't get a fill as a reward for losing weight. That is just backward. I wish you luck!

Thank you to everyone...I needed a pep talk today...It is very strange how being stuck can get you so down...I dont remember being so upset when I was over 300 lbs, but now its terrible...But I am going to try to take yalls advice and stay off the scale...I have tried before but it didnt work out...But, I will try my hardest a week maybe at a time

[avilla 1]

20 oz orange water

40 oz Water (so far)

20 oz green tea

8 oz chocolate whey (breakfast)

As far as my positive attitude speech for today!!!!

I know that its a new day and we are all going to do today proud!!!

We are going to do whats right for our bodys by drinking all our Water and eating right and doing some movement today that counts!! We are all wonderful and beautiful people regardless on how we feel about ourselves at times!! We will stand proud today as we stand up all together in a group toast promising to better ourselves with our bottles of water all extended to towards eachother!! My god give us all a blessed day and give us all the patience to make it thru another one regardless of the obstacles that come our way!!! We all deserve the best and healthiest day that we can have!!

I think that I am done...But I appriciate each and every person on this board...It just bring tears to my eyes to see how everyone sticks together in their time of need

I loved this speech and thought today would be an appropriate time to bring it out again. Don't just read it but do it. I love all of you guys.

[avilla 1]

Ok you guys the test is over, put all pencils down and turn your papers over.

You guys have done an amazing job sticking in her for the past few months. January 9th was our jump off point where we promised to create healthy lifestyle changes and be healthier for Spring. Yeah some of us wanted to drop a few pounds.

Who would have every thought it would be difficult to drink 64 oz of Water a day. If someone said the key to losing weight is to drink water, what would you do and how long would you do it?

We have learned so many things.

We made a plan of action

We have been up we've been down but we went through it together

We have a baby on the way

We have seen new people get banded

We've had hubby trouble

We've been offended and uplifted

Consistency, Accountability, Positive Reinforcement and Affirmations

We have The Keys to Success on our key rings.

We had challenges but We stuck in there.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

You guys just don't know what you have done for me. If you guys did not hang in her with me for these cold months I would not be where I am physically or mentally.

Time to Live Life now, we can't wait to lose another 50 pounds.

Tomorrow is the time to post some numbers.

Did you take your measurements?

Do you have your original weigh in numbers?

Remember we have all succeeded no matter what the numbers look like. We are still standing.

OK who is doing Spring Boot camp?????

[tann 2]

I thought this was Spring Bootcamp, but NOW I see it was Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp:faint: , I'm in. So how long does it last so I can calculate out how much I can lose.

Tann you are too funny. Yes we were just getting through the winter to make it to the Spring with some great support. LMBO :welldoneclap:

We can have any kind of boot camp. Don't you want to lead Tann? Avilla? We are all in this together. Memorial Day is May 30, that would give us 2 full months.:Banane20:

Short term goals will get us to the long term.....Plastic Surgery. LOL
