Weight loss before

[BabyAngel]

without surgery ?
Just excerise and proprite foods?

Im getting there and will talk out w/future new specialist doctor for thyroid.. Just I wanted rid of my thyroid gland... hate roller coaster my weight.

Yes just exercise...if you have arm flappy then you need to do exercise/cardio

At the gym I walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes and then do bike for 30 minutes, I do cardio exercises for example abs, uppers and bottoms (uppers mean arms and chest, bottoms means legs, thighs, and butts) I have to do abs everyday.

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!!!

Yay!!! *fast clapping* I agree, I should put it in my journal and see how I'm doing. What if I slip back? I can always go back to my journal and start over. That's a great idea BabyAngel!

At 945pm tonight my stomach was gurgling so I had an apple. I know it is kind of late to be eating that, but I cannot sleep when I'm hungry. Is it ok that I ate an apple this late? Thanks!

I started South Beach diet on Jan 2nd recently and have lost 8 pounds so far. I also joined Curves and it helped me alot! I need to lose over 100 pounds and was glad to see someone created this thread! We need to support each other and motivate. Everyone is doing good...keep it up!

Ahh yes it does help us to keep motivate!! We need to support each other!

Yes you can, but make sure don't go to sleep as soon as you finish eating apples because it can make your meteorblism (SP?) slow. For me, I usually eat snacks then wait for 3 hours then go to bed. It helps me.

You can always start over again if you want to because most people can have one bad day. It happened to me before too.

Yeah... this is one hour later and I'm still up. I'm going to drink some water just to flush it out. Then go to bed at 11pm because I don't want to get hungry again. That has happened to me before!

I want to tell you that you look wonderful! you've always looked beautiful to me, but now you're slimmer. You must have more energy now than before!! right? smile

 

[Peachy Lady]

yes yes i agreed...

I have been trying to kick my butt off the chair.. keep busying around the house.. cleaning and put things away.. take dog for walk.. but 1 extra block each day.. i feel little different.... energy is on roll..
wooo! :P

You walk one extra block each day...that's good idea! I just got puppy so in maybe 2 months or so I will take my puppy Cody for walk. I do go for walk but not as often as I should. I do go to Curves 3 to 5 times a week, so it helps alot.

Wow.. after reading all this.. I sure do need help. I need a motivator.. I was once 130 LB in '96 and I got pregnant and had the baby in '97. I lost a lot of weight after the baby was born but then I had norplant (Birth Control). my weight shot up to 55 more lbs. I've been like this ever since. Some days I feel good, some days I don't. I'm not a heavy eater. I only eat 2 times a day. But my bad bad bad habit is eating late a night. I also love Mountain Dew and would say I drink at least 8 to 9 glasses of mountain dew. Its so hard to have that willpower to not drink that anymore and drink more water. I'm 5'3, 193lb.. size 16 in pants.. HELP ME!!

ANGEL...

it is NOT HARD... TRUST ME... and it is NOT A DIET--- we call it HEALTHY EATING PLAN....

don't think about THE WORD DIET... THINK OF DIET AS A BAD WORD... I HATE THE WORD DIET.... that's why DIETS FAIL... cuz the word "DIET" scares people cuz it always fails... .. it failed me for many years BECAUSE IT NEVER WORKS AND IT IS NOT HEALTHY ANYWAY!!! IT IS ALL :bsflag:

it is ALL ABOUT EATING HEALTHY!!! EXCERCISING AND DRINKING LOTS OF WATER.... just like what babyangel and i have been doing all along.. THAT IS IT!!! i don't diet... i am under the care of a nutrition doctor who is AGAINST DIET... and babyangel goes to weight watchers... i also eat organic food now... and so forth...

TRUST ME... when you get started.. YOU WOULD BE AMAZED THAT IT IS NOT HARD! you eat normally but balance your food.. and every 2-3 hours... 6-8 meals a day (smaller portions) but more veggies/fruits- cutting out more carbs.... thats pretty much it!!!!

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Very good information, you share here...

I was like wow after read the whole thread here and can't beleive how great you all are with strong willing... I praise you all

DoofusMama, what Feistychick says about surgery is very true. I would suggest you to take her advice... It would take few years to go back normal...

 

[Liebling:-)))]

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.

I admire your positive.

 

[Liebling:-)))]

I know what you mean, every time I see those cute outfit, I want to wear them so bad but it doesn't fit me but one day I will wear them I know you can do it!!!

Exactly when I look at outfit and say to myself, I MUST wear them when I lose some weight. I MUST do it because I WANT it.

You are good teacher, BabyAngel

 

[Cheri]

OMG! You girls look wonderful, beautiful and saxxy! I can't be more than proud of you girls.

 

[Oceanbreeze]

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.

How many times do I have to say no? And, how many times do I have to say it has NOTHING to do with that?

One more time, my reasons for not showing a picture has NOTHING to do with my physical disabilty, and I AM STILL NOT showing a picture, so drop it. I said no, and I mean no.

 

[Oceanbreeze]

maybe give OB time, like me I didnt think to post at first but later

Time isn't going to do it, either, but thank you, anyway.

 

[GalaxyAngel]

I bet OB is afraid showing what looking alike her face and body...

Prefer she kept in the dark permantly forever!
I think OB is low esteem..

Why can't you open your heart and try be postive everyone they will say UGH to you.. NO..
They will be always open heart for you and postive w/you.. what more.. Everyone are part of you family as condiser here... aren't you ?
Honestly I'm afraid to show 110% mybody on picture.. mostly half half taking picture from little tummy to top face.. not full 110% body shown..
Not easy for everyone think you're HUGE fat or else.. doesn't matter..
This is very extreme postive and lift up your self esteem..
Made me feel better and open their heart and arms welcome and help team work together "Goal the weight"

I don't care what r u looking alike face really ugly.. Probably your personalities is GOOD SOUL... who knows.. Think about yourself.. give your time until when r u ready..
take care.. *hug*

Ha I know how you feel!!! Before I lost weight, Whenever I go to walmart (just cause its huge building) I walk everywhere, I would feel like I want to sit down because my feet hurts! my back hurts! I felt like I'm out of the breath. Yeah I know how you feel girl!!

That's good start! Just buy bottles and being stubborn drinking waters then become addict to the waters, Rebelgirl can do it!

If she says she can't, we have to go over her house and pull her out then go to walmart to buy bottles and make her drink
