Weight loss before

[FeistyChick]

OB, please don't think of your disability, instead think of yourself as non-disabled. I can imagine doing things without wheelchair and that I am not going to give up.

SEE, OB!!!

SO RJR PLEASE KEEP TELLING HER THAT KIDDO!!!

 

[FeistyChick]

Thank you The thing that I felt gross was when my clothes got tighter and the "rolls" just hung over my pants even the "rolls" hung out from the back of my bra and the cleavage stuck right out. Whew... I just didn't want to admit that I needed to get the next size up. When I was heavy back then I felt suffocated and I had a hard time walking long distance because my knees ached alot. Also, shortness of breath. Notice the heavy bags under my eyes disappeared when I lost weight? Now a lot of people said to me that you look your age or few years younger. Back then when I was at my heaviest people thought I was 5 to 10 years older than my own age. Wow...

i know the feeling! tell me about it!!!


we have been through a lot and have come a LONG WAY!!!

Whoops--- December 2003. *d'oh!* :Oops:

it is NOT THAT HARD.... you just have to be ready and be willing to do it... that is all it takes... no dieting... just eating the right food JUST LIKE WHAT BABYANGEL AND I ARE DOING... we are not even trying to diet at all... just eating the right stuff and being stable!!! THAT IS ALL IT TAKES.. PLUS EXERCISE AND WATER!!! YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!!

i don't beleive in DIET! PERIOD!!! IT IS ALL :bsflag:

yeah and I have hard time to lose my weight cause I had underactive thyoird wasnt easy for me .. but I am still keep going to get lose my weight. my weight up and down between 190 to 185. I will never give it up till I get lose my weight

It's time for ya to start writing a book about the facts on losing weight. You should do it someday since you're so interested in talking about that subject.

i don't think you need to get your tummy stable dear!!! you can do it!!! THEN AFTER you have lost all of your weight (reached your weight goal) then go for tummytuck (get rid of the baby/loose fat) that's all!!!

i come from a family of doctors... two years ago... i was VERYYY DEPRESSED... and i wanted tummy stable, gastric, etc. you name it.. ONE OF MY UNCLES WHO IS A DOCTOR, FORBIDDED IT!!! ARRRGH..... and BOY I AM DAMN GLAD I LISTENED TO HIM the funny thing is... i am a TRUE LEO AND SO IS HE!!! and we both are damn stubborn!!! it is a VERY RISKY, DANGEROUS AND UNHEALTHY SURGERY!!! and not worth it.. he said it si better to do it in the HEALTHY WAY AND LEARN IT!!! AND HE IS VERY RIGHT (doctors love making money! and he makes very good money BUT HE ALSO LOVES HIS PATIENTS!!! HE PREFERS HONESTY OVER MONEY ... and i am glad i am doing this in the right way!!!

YOU CAN DO IT TOO! C'MON GIRL!!!

Three days ago I finally gave up chocolate.

For the past two days I've been measuring food intakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Drinking couple of hot cup of tea a day. Am trying to learn to like drinking water.

In the past I'd put 2 to 3 servings of cheerios (cereal) in the bowl and this is loaded with carbos. I knew I had to fix my portion of food. I followed the box and it said to use only 3/4 cup. Geez, that's all?? What I ended up doing is add 1/2 sliced banana in the bowl to make it fuller. The other day I had one scrambled egg, 2 strips of bacon and one wheat toast with raspberry jam on it. FeistyChick told me what she had for breakfast so I took her advice.

Today I had 3/4 cup of cheerios with few strawberries and some blueberries. I drank my hot tea with it. I was actually full by the time I finished it.

Today for lunch I had mangos and tuna without mayonaise. Two hours later I had stawberry yogurt. I need to have calcium because I take thyroid pills. I had another hot cup of tea.

Dinner I had 2oz oven baked haddock with lemon juice, light salt, pepper and some paprika. 1/2 cup of Jasmine rice and 1 cup of steamed carrots, celery, and onion. So delish! By the end of the evening I am actually so full.

I hope I did it right...

 

[Oceanbreeze]

thanks!!!

AWWW!

why do you feel that way!???

if you don't mind me asking, but is it because you are in a wheelchair??? :/

It's not because of that, no.

Oh you are doing a wonderful job to learn how to eat!! Congrats!! Keep it up!!!

I do keep my journal for write down what I ate, drinks, and exercises every day, it does help me to learn how to do that and it helps me if I am doing the wrong way or not if I find out I gain weight or something.

Maybe you can get a journal to write what you eat, it is up to you. Let me know how it goes with your weight!!!

About stretch marks....I did have them on my arms, chest, stomach, and thighs. I got rid of SOME marks....how? exercise. That is how I got rid of it. I am still working to get rid of other parts too. Sometime it will stay on for a long time just depend on how much fats do I have.

thank you for positive notes.. but.. overweights run in the family..
for example .. i growing up chubby (overweights for average kids).. then Highschool.. I was --eek.. I graduated.. I lost weights to 140 pounds.. I looked great.. it didnt last.. less 2 years.. i ballooned up 40 pounds overweight... then lost 10.. then went back to 40 again.. the more i lose weights I gained double.. :/
my mom have been struggled with her weights.. almost most of relatives are big size.. now most of relatives went through tummy stapled and success...
like i said.. I lose weights then have tummy stapled.. so my weight will be stay same.. oh well..

hehe.

i agree too, like to walking but would be nice to be with my partner/lover with me walking or running, alone :Ohno:

It's not because of that, no.

if you had surgeries, please IGNORE the parts of the body and come on OB, we want to see a picture of you. Shyness is not an EXCUSE.
