hey elsy

papaya should be ok, it wasn't one of the fruits listed to not take. i know the feeling you're having with your husband. i was more at ease dressing around him now though, now thats weird. so how is it going so far? i've eaten some grapes, a peach &pineapples so far. it does feel good to remove that 3, im glad to finally see a 2. i'll talk to you later, good luck with the rest of the weekend

Hi all -

Can I jump in on this group? I just found these buddy boards today - not sure why I missed them before - guessing not looking far enough down. But anyway this thread appeals to me. I started out almost 2 years ago needing to lose 140 pounds. I'm down about 85 - so I no longer have 100 to lose. So if you all want to keep it at those that still need to lose 100 - I understand - just let me know. Thanks!

hey bumpkin

you are welcome to join right on in. we all might need to loose 100 but that has nothing to do with support. besides i'm sure we'll come to you alot especially with the success of your loss.

so now that you're here, tell us a little about yourself and how you lost so much.

congrats, congrats, congrats

Elsy that is wonderful. I'm so happy for you & that is a tremendous amount lost for 1 month. Girl I wish I was in your loosing shoes right now.

I just can't get over how well you're doing. Keep it up.

I gained 2.4 over the weekend, family was in town. I'm trying to get back on track. So I'm at 298 right now but looking forward to dropping more weight.

i live in central texas around the waco area.

i have gotten on track but in addition to that i'm up to 299.6. i hate that but it happened and i can't dwell on it too long. My goal is to still be under 295 by Nov 6th so I have some work to do.

im not sure where loosing is but hopefully everything is ok

LOOSING we're thinking about you.

I've been thinking about the Phen but I don't like the fact that your heart races & blood pressure rises. Do you have these symptoms? I was thinking about trying Hoodia but it's so many frauds out there I'm scared to try it to. I don't know what to take so I guess I'll continue to do the research.

My mother in law will be in town this Friday & I hope she doesn't expect me to cook. I also hope I stick to my plan. I'll catch up with you later but don't forget to let me know what your symptoms are.

Hi all,

Elsy great job! You go girl! Daqui - don't beat yourself up - take it one day at a time - if you have a bad day forget about it and start over the next one!

Thanks for welcoming me to the group. I'm a 45 (just turned) mother of one 15 year old daughter. I've been married to the same wonderful guy for 22 years. My daughter plays basketball - hence the icon.

As I said above - I have been at it for almost two years now. I lost 85 on my own last year by counting calories and increasing my level of activity very slowely. I went to one of those calorie calculation web sites and put in a weight of 150 and a sedentary life style - it said to maintain that weight you needed to eat 1900 calories a day. So I decided I would stay under 2000 and figured I would eventually get to 150.

In addition, I started parking on the 4th floor of our parking garage at work and started climbing the stairs up and down every day. When I first started - I felt like I was going to die when I got to the top - now after almost two years - I can make it with out being out of breath at all. It feels great!

One of the things that really helped me stick to it in the beginning was a bracelet that my daughter gave me.

A little history - both of my parents were overweight and both died fairly young of lung cancer. Both of my parents lived with our family as they were each going through the death process. My Mom died at 56, my Dad lived with us for 12 years then he died at 74. Seeing what we went through with them - not just the cancer part - but the limitations and struggles with medications because my Mom was diabetic and over weight and my Dad was over weight really made me realize I did not want to do that to my daughter.

So - when my daughter gave me a "live strong" bracelet two Christmas' ago - I made a promise on it that I would use it to (1) remember my parents and (2) to use it as a motivation to get myself in shape so I wouldn't be a burden to my daughter. I have worn it everyday since. I wear it on my right arm so that I see it everytime I reach for food. It makes me think about how much I love my family and how food is nothing compared to them.

Well now I've given you the song and dance! I'll write more later. Keep working hard - we're worth it! Bump

Oh wow Bumpkin you've been through quite a bit. I'm so motivated by the fact that you were able to loose 85 on your own. I can't wait to see the scale go down -85 pounds. We're glad to have you here and thank you for the encouragement.

I wanted to switch up my workout so I did something new today. If you have the fitness channel you should be able to get it, It's a dance work out & it's based off of Indian style dancing and you burn like 500 calories (I'm sure I didn't because I was stumbling all over the place). Anyway it was actually fun so I'm taping it everyday now so I can do something different. I wanted to get the bellydance workouts but this is good and it's free. Eventually I'll start looking for a Pilates show but I'm good for now.

What do you guys do for your workouts?

Hey Elsy..... I guess it's just the three of us now. Do ya'll subscribe to Looking Good Now. i just started getting them and they're nice.
