Congrats to all of you big (weight)losers!

Today I stepped on the scales and I have since lost another pound. I am now 182. Today was my designated "treat day" so I allowed myself to have a couple of things that I wouldn't normally allow myself to have. I was also telling someone today that when I lose 20 pounds, I'm going to be a loudmouth about it -- I will be telling everyone. They told me they didn't doubt it.

**KristinaB** · 12-03-2009, 08:51 PM

I have started this week with exercising with resistance bands for longer periods of time. It had been only 20 minutes a day 3 days a week, now it 45 minutes a day 6 days a week. I am also doing a lot of my old gymnastics stretching exercises. Would you believe that at 46, and 225 pounds, I can still do a backbend and then while in a backbend position, do 100 push-ups?

I gotta say, I am glad I got fat.

Before my son came along, I scoffed at the overweight people for letting themselves go. I was obsessed with losing (at least) one pound per day and I became painfully underweight. I eventually ate one meal per day and settled at a healthy 135 pounds with curves when I met my ex. When I learned about my pregnancy, I forced myself to consume 3 meals a day and my body was giddy with glee... I gained nearly 100 pounds within 40 weeks O_O

Watching the digits rise on the weight scale was definitely a humbling experience. I empathize with people of all sizes. I am learning how to lose weight all over again, I've lost over 50-60 pounds and it is a painfully slow process. I think I ruined my metabolism from years of water fasting and I am trying to find a healthy routine. I gotta admit, I still cringe when I lose merely a few pounds per week. It's torture to me and I'm trying not to resort to my old habits.

I'll try to keep myself accountable on this thread

Why starve yourself like that to make it a healthy 135 pounds? The best way to lose that baby fat is to eat good fats, and healthy foods because they help you burn those bad fats including the baby fats. I have a blog about the foods that does the favor but you have to make it happen instead of starving. Starving makes your body lose metabolism and other chemicals that your body requires such as citrus acid, and so on...

I eat dark berries or input acai berries half hour before exercises, whey proteins before and after the workouts... casein protein before bedtime.. I eat four to six meals a day... that means split your three meals in halves to make it six. It worked for lots of people.

I'm hoping to weigh less than 135 lbs this time

but yes, I know. Starving wreaks havoc on a metabolism, bah. It's just an easy route for me, I need to try out the Acai berries. Gotta satisfy my curiosity

If you dont like it, thats okay, you can always eat any dark berries. They are right under the score that acai berries earned in getting rid of your fats at same time it improves your skin, etc. Those acai berries are not sold as fruit yet, so only options we all got is acai berries juice and they cost lot more. I love them, if I am not up for it, I mix real dark berries with orange juice in the blender with some ice or little water and sometimes I add banana flavor to it... drink them after I wake up or 30-40 mins before workouts. Any dark berries does your body good and improves your memory.

Did you people see my blogs?

See my picture of Before and After my training with the nutrition plans... I am showing what it did for me while I intake more of whey and casein protein to provide more protein feed to my muscles to do more work. The Pictures is only one year apart. It was posted earlier in this forum.

**Dixie** · 12-06-2009, 10:56 PM

I have a thread somewhere around here of my personal progress since I started weightloss. I took a break from it this past year due to other things such as a lay-off and school. I hope to get back on it in 2010.

**Dixie** · 12-06-2009, 11:03 PM

At 133
Aforementioned thread w/ photo timeline of weightloss. Went down from 180 to 133 in about a year. I'm up at 140, but I plan on getting down below 125 this go around and I believe I can do it.

So you must be lucky enough to be able to lose some of that baby fat...my will be ex wife has four kids and she lost approx 15 pounds 1 to 2 yrs after each birth.. it is just the way she eats and gets her body around the places... it also varities on the women's metabolism. If you continue having trouble, please feel free to ask me. I will be more then happy to help you.

I'm barely 5'1.... so yes I'm petite

Oh yeah, I'm eating right. You see, I love food. I will eat and eat like there's no tomorrow. Sunday night I saw a deal, $15 for three medium pizzas from Dominos. So I ordered a pepperoni, ham and a chicken pizza. You guessed it, It was all gone that night.

But Other than that, I eat till I feel "full" and stop. It's a mental effort for me.

Right now I'm getting ready to get a gym membership. Gotta look super.

HFCS is in ketchup, pop, many frozen foods, etc. So, it makes that cycle, you eat/drink, and want more. Usually its found in overpriced junk food and pop.

Crystalline Fructose = pure form of HFCS. Made with Arsenic and Lead.
This stuff will give you liver damage that is equal or worse than alcohol.
Vitamin Water has this shit.

(That is why I refuse to buy glaceau products.)

Eliminating that helped me lose my first 30 pounds easily in my first trek in losing weight.

Oh yes, Buy Locally, Eat Organic is my motto.

Love food, same here. I love to eat.. that is why I still haven't got 6 packs yet...I love to cook my own food but it is hard when everyone is not eating what I am. When the family or wife wants something that is for everyone, I try to be polite to revise the recipe or get something of my own... wife sometimes get mad when I do not eat along. I say what can I do if those are fatty foods..I can not have them because my stomach is already set to what I eat.. sometimes don't have the money to just get everyone what they want and something of my own. So if that window of opportunity opens for me, I would have lost all the fats in the abs area by now.

Soon... whenever she moves out to her own place.. I will be eating whatever I can on my own list, my kids cant wait to eat what I eat.

For example I cant even eat seasonings, some marinades, mayonnaise, frozen dinners, and many to list... my stomach gets mad sometimes, and some of the foods I can not eat which conflicts with the nutrient plans I have set up for my trainings.

When I get that chance, I will be able to cook and learn more how proper foods are to be done which cuts the amount of portion of food for better appetite. Know what I am saying?

jinxedkitten · 12-07-2009, 08:03 PM

Hm, thanks for the tidbits PFH. I've been keeping an eye out on organic products lately

bought organic yoga pants the other day! Err... well, at least it's a start.

Fortunately I've been craving nothing but salads/sandwiches nowadays, I can already feel a difference! Now I am focusing on replacing coffee with water

kokonut · 12-07-2009, 08:25 PM

Geez...now I'm hungry.

dogmom · 12-07-2009, 10:12 PM

I also eat smaller or moderate meals frequently. PFH, I eat lotta organic, local also...whole foods, not refined.
Green tea is one of my favorite things to drink and can boost metabolism...don't drink soda.
I weigh about 105, petite frame due to prematurity-

**KristinaB** · 12-07-2009, 11:46 PM

My weigh-in tonite showed that I went in the wrong direction. That's another 1.5 pounds I have to lose. Aargh!!!!

Well it is true if you exercise after you intake those kind of berries.. it takes time. It helps you cleanse your organs and gives you lots of vitimans and minerals then any other berries can. It burns approx 20% more then the next berries which is the blue berries. I have been drinking them and taking the acai berries cleanse formulas and I must warn you.. if you have already ate lots of toxins, you will visit the toilet more then you expect until it is all cleaned out. For some people, there will be some food changes if you want to avoid the toilet...

I have been there for about two weeks... lost few pounds then I went back on my other plans and lost more... that is one key to my solution to change my foods. Remember to intake those berries half hour before you exercise, and put in little more effort in the workout then you ususally do.. you will feel the burn.

One more thing for people who lift weighs have to remember if they bulk up with the muscles, they weigh more then the fat does... I have it up in my blog. If you have both.. you weigh lot more heavier.

Cardomani · 12-07-2009, 11:59 PM

Acai and Green tea helps with metaboulism.

I used to weigh 200lbs from eating/drinking like, 4-6 burgers a day (to keep down alcohol).
After I grad school, I train and run 10 miles a day 5 times a week. In 6 months I went down to 140. I was also training in kickboxing/mma professionally and the heavy running was due to my not able to drive a car.

TIP: Run up and down stairs. Take yr time to breathe. Go 100 flights of stairs. Do thousands and thouands of steps. You will feel hot all over. Sweat will drench down yr body. You will stop and catch yr breath. But it will burn yr fat and boost yr stamina. Caution: Very Heavy Hardcore workout, ruunning up 100 flights of stairs. I used to do this.
After doing that. When I spar/fight in ring in martial art, the other guy stops for breath or passes out. LOL.

Running up stairs, will give you a nice tight butt.

Actually Green Tea is on top 10 but not any better then the berries. The truth is B6 vitamins is the key to increase the metabolism. For my gene...I can not have tea at all. So anything with vitamin B or Berries will do the trick and I found out they beat Green Tea but I still will recommend Green Tea to some people though.

**shel90** · 12-08-2009, 05:32 AM

Are those berries sold at any food stores or does one must go to a speciality store to get them? My brother told me about them a while ago and I forgot all about it until now.

souggy · 12-08-2009, 05:41 AM

Is there a reverse thread?

I think I need to gain weight or muscle mass. My 28-waist pants are falling off of me.

Acai. Never had them. My dad order in the juices for me, but he doesn't get that I am allergic to fermented fruits.

I do highly recommend green tea though.

dogmom · 12-08-2009, 08:05 AM

I do LOVE green tea and drink all the time. Acai berries, have had the juice, I liked it. Available at health food stores and also you can pills/supplements supposed to have acai in them but I really don't know how effective that is.

I bought Acai juice one time. I thought it tasted like strong, rotten , Pomegranate juice.

I did not buy it again.

Berni Garth · 12-08-2009, 09:42 AM

I know if you increase your meal intake to 5-6 a day it will increase your metabalism. Eat protein in the morning and avoid carbs late at night. Between breakfast and lunch eat some almonds or fruit, and do the same between lunch and dinner. You will notice you are not as hungry during meals and you will eat less.
