Mammabear.....

What have you started?? I am behind schedule but also want to get in with your weekly weigh-ins. I have had a tough time losing so far --- and doing all the right things -- but persistence. Those "BIG TIME LOSERS" are my heros --- so hope we can someday join their ranks.

I would love to be a part of this group. Will start weighing in tomorrow, if that is okay...

Welcome shartime! Yes you are welcome to join us the more support the better off we will be. I went to the doctor this mourning and her scales weighed two pounds heavier than mine boy did that burst my bubble! Oh well that just has made me more head strong than ever. Just do not worry about those big time weight losers I mean that is good for them but if we lose it slow that is ok too. Try to look at it as if you lose it slow the chances of it coming back are small, so don't worry about it a pound lost is a pound closer to your goal! YOU CAN DO IT! Will talk in the a.m. LOSE LOSE LOSE LOSE!!!!

Well here it goes and yes I am going by my scales! I started off on my scales and when I first started phen I weighed the same on mine as I did my doctors so do you think that is ok to go my mine? The nurse did tell me that thier scales are off by two to four pounds ouch!!! Ok enough rambling I am down three pounds from last Saturday so my stats are 177/167/130 but I have also lost a total of 5 1/2 inches. Hopefully when I get off the steriods, which I have seven more days of that boo hoo, I will do much better. I did return to exercising I go to the track with my husband every night and he pushes me.He makes me run the track and the only running I have been doing til now is running to the fridge! lol Thanks for wishing me well with the posion oak it is getting better at least it is off my eye for the most part but I am still getting funny looks when I am out and about, you would think I was the first person to ever get this stuff the way people look at me! Hey you all need to read Moonwatchers measurement post I laughed so hard last night my husband thought I was crazy, but you have to scroll down a bit before it gets funny. It could have been funny or I could have just been tired oh well read it and tell me what you think. Ok i am done I am tired of typing and your tired of reading my ramblings. I wish everyone a great weekend! Drink your water, exercise, tell someone you love them, and oh yes LOSE LOSE LOSE LOSE!!!!

Good job Mammabear. You are definitely an inspiration, but I am getting discouraged. I did not loose this week and AF paid me a visit, so I thought for sure I would have!! I know this weight did not come on overnight, I weighed 138 July 1996 and it has been going up ever since, so it will not come off overnight. I really feel too negative to write anymore, but my stats for 3 weeks are 218/208/135. Good luck everyone.

Hey Lilly you have done great this week! I really mean it!! Before I had my hysterectomy I would always gain five to seven pounds of water weight so maybe that is what you have done. I bet next week when you weigh you will have lost more than you think. Just keep in mind that you did not gain and you stayed where you were from last week you are so awesome!!! Lift your head up high and remember that tomrrow is a new day and that you can do anything that you set your mind to do. SO GO OUT THERE AND DO IT!!! Do not let this get you down and do not be upset when the scale does not say what you want it to because if you stick with it and keep a positive attitude you will see the results that you are looking for, sure it may take longer than what you want it to but when you get there it will be a sweet victory that you won due to your willpower and strengh. What a day it will be when I can rejoice in this victory with you, so keep your head up and do not be sad because you are not alone in this we are all in the same battle that one day we will conquer! YOU CAN DO IT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO!!! I hope you have a great weekend and you feel better soon! Talk later. Lots of hugs and support, now give me a great big smile and feel better about yourself because you are great!

Mammabear, your words are so kind and encouraging!! Thanks so much and lol. Today at church I was so excited, our music director came up and asked me "what is different; haircut, tanned, used to have braces or what". My hubby said I just beamed!! I know I'm losing inches and that is important. I am sticking to it and your words make it easier!! Thanks so much for the support and anyone else out there having a hard time, you are in the right place!! Let's all hang in there and lean on each other - it helps!!! My goal this week is to go from my 3 lb. freeweights to 5 lb. and walk after dinner at least twice this week. I play tennis on Tues and Thurs and weights M-W-F. Anyone else got any fun ideas??

Hey all you phensters!!! Happy 4th!! Hope you are all going to treat yourself to something special today. Personally, my fav is a smooth well-made margaritta and I plan to have a couple before dinner. Just watched the Peachtree Road Race and the last time I ran it was 1996 and have been gaining weight since, but my goal is to run in 2002. Since I am too heavy to run at 204, when I reach 180, I am going to start walk/jog. Can't wait!!! Better go, today is weight/cardio day. Celebrate and have fun!!!!

TaTa!!

Good mourning everyone and I hoped everyone had a great fourth of July! Ok here are the results for the week...down four pounds so my stats are now 177/163/130. This feels so good not because I look better it is because I feel better. I did not realize that being overweight could take so much out of a person but I am starting to get alot of energy back as the pounds come off. It feels so good not to be completly wiped out by 9:00 at night! Sorry I have not posted any this week but I have turned into a mad woman cleaning my house. If it could be washed it has been and even if it could not have been washed it has been. My closets have never looked better! Need to get going now I hoped everyone met thier goal for the week and if not next week is a new week!!
Lots of support to all!!

Even though I am still pretty overweight, I have more energy on the phen and with the weight coming off, I feel so much better!! Hang in there everyone and lose, lose lose this week.

Hopefully, next week I'll be below 200 - now wouldn't that be awesome.!!!!!!!!!
