Default Here I am again...And I need a buddy

Hello everyone.....I am back for like the third time. They say the third time is a charm so lets see. I am 37 and 225.5 lbs and I am tired of being the the chubby one. I went to Disney last Nov and the pics of me with my family brought me to tears. We have started camping with two other couples and we are going on two big trips this summer one of them is Disney again and I don't want to be the only fat (yes I said it fat cause that is what I am) one. My neighbor who we camp with is far from overweight went on Adkins and lost 30lbs in about 2 months and looks great and I feel like a total fool cause I started after the new year to try to loose and and I have lost a whole 8 lbs. Anyway I am going to try Adkins......my frig is full of meat I am ready....I am starting tomorrow.....I just have to look better by June or I don't know what I am going to do......I would really like a buddy some one to help me out to push me and kick me in the butt when I need it. Thanks for letting me babble.

Hi sillymom, You can do this! 8lbs is ok. I'v lost 15lbs in the last 2 months. seems slow, but better than nuthin' . Everyone loses at a different pace so don't get discouraged! I hope you'll join us in the weekly chat. I'm sure we can help eachother stay on track.

Sillymom, I am with you!! I am 30, married, no kids yet, and have always been chubby. I've gotten myself up to fat over the last few years. It's funny how you don't notice it so much as it's going on until that one day where you see it all of the sudden. I feel I am at my lowest point now. Last week was a total disaster for me, I just put everything in my mouth that I could get my hands on. I also have a summer goal. My best friend's wedding is July 21 and I don't want to feel like the fat girl in the wedding party, which as of right now I will, I know it! On a good note, I did get back to the gym on Thursday and Friday mornings, just need to keep that going! If you want to team up, I'm sure with keeping each other in check, we can drop a good many pounds by our summer events. I'd love to to lose 20 pounds by then. I just need to put my mind to it and stop letting myself make excuses for slacking off!

Good luck starting off tomorrow! I've found that the first couple of days are the hardest, but if I get through those it gets easier and there's motivation to not mess up that hard work.

Chris,
I'm hoping you read the book. And I'm hoping you stocked your fridge with more than just meat!! This isn't a meat & cheese diet. But I'm sure you know that. Good luck and we're all in this together

After childbirth (I have had three children) if you were not exercising and active through your pregnancy, you might find that you are not "heavy" per say (which given your weight and height-I am also 5'7"-you are actually almost UNDERweight for your height already!) but you are simply "out of shape". There is a big difference.

I honestly would not suggest losing pounds-but instead, focusing on getting "fit". I recommed doing regular exercise instead of dieting. If you need any suggestions, please feel free to pm me. Exercising, and getting your body firmer, shapelier, and more defined will make a huge difference in your body!

OK, silly and carvin, I'm here for you - totally. I too am 37, but we're dinks. I am at a similar wt. I'm 5'3. I feel it. I get it. I'll be here for you. I'm online sporadically, but have been around the diet merrygorounds many times. See you on weekly chat. I am going to try to be online more often, just cause it's good for my own resolve. I'm at my current lowest wt since being a grown up. I'm smaller than my wedding dress (Yup, fat bride was I - but what a pretty face... blah blah blah). I'm willing to chat with anyone online - my yahoo chat is kellyskitties. I'll probably be online around 9AM central (usa) on workdays (th?, F, Sat, Sun, Mon?) and through the nights the days I don't work after class (I know - how do I even plan my own life!) AS well, I will check in here for chats. I have a lot of support to give, and giving it keeps me on track too! Good luck.
