So I bought the book Skinny ***** today and let me just say, it did not help me motiviating-wise. They were very, very rude. I do not care what anyone says, constantly calling real woman lazy, fat or disgusting is not tough love. It didn't help me at all! It just pissed me off that two former models felt they had the right to call woman such names. However, the parts on the animal cruelty was just too much. I almost cried reading those parts.
LAY-ay-aydies. I feel really bad for being such a downer last night. Today was no better- hubby and I got in a huge argument, pretty much ruined my whole day. I didn't eat a full meal all day, just snacked here and there. Didn't do my workout. I KNOW i'm accountable here, and I feel guilty. I just need to take this emotional garbage and grab it by the reins and say "HEY! I'm in control, not you!" And just get over it.
Tough.
Anyway, you guys are awesome, please keep posting encouraging stuff here, we all need you!
loveLauren Wow... you paid money for that? hahaha- that's sad, I haven't heard of that book. Sounds like one I'll be skipping!
hi well I've got to get a membership to the ymca that place always worked for me and just do treadmill , eleptical machine, swimming, this always works for me I just cant do heavy stuff right now my arthritis is acting up right now and I'm quite swollen, my joints are so swollen but the swimming always helps so that is basically it for me and I'm going to eat less bread and more vegetables that is another thing that I have to stop eating bread, I did a colon cleanse well it helped, gave me energy and I had more bowel movements so that was good, I recommend this product you order it through costco it's called coltox internal purifier I also do green tea capsules from costco also those give you good energy. Oh and you dont feel edgy or anything well from my experience with these capsules they just made me feel overall good.
lovelauren----I HAVE TO WORK AT A DQ....its simply awful. lol..ok its not too bad
but im a sucker for icecream.
the past few days have been awful for me i dont know whats happened i just cant find any motivation in me to do anything let alone exercise...sigh....i need some sort of mood uplifting event to happen.
today i tried so hard to stay OP but then i was unvited to go out to dinner and i caved.....tomorow i hope to start 30ds if i can find it at the store...i gottaa kick this
Today was a good day. However, its always a good day whenever I stay OP. Following the advice from many of you on here: i went out and purchased a little notebook and decided to write down everything I eat and drink. I find that when I write it down it makes everything a reality and I cant dismiss/forget the fact that I may have eaten a cupcake because its in writing... and since I dont want to see words like cupcake, candy or soda on every other page, I find myself less likely to cave into temptation.
BTW: if any of you have comcast on demand, 30DS is on there for a period of time (you can find it under sports/fitness-exercise tv)
CarCar- we will kick this

Good job Unstoppable! I have started to keep a mental journal now that I've done my handwritten journal, but I find myself fudging from time to time. Having it in writing is so much better. Something else that has really helped me is, for example, instead of taking a handful of pretzels and saying 'that was about 1 serving' I've looked on the label to see actually how big a serving size is, and count them out and eat that. I'm always surprised that after 1 serving size of most of the foods I eat, I'm satisfied. Whereas before I checked my portions, I'd keep scarfing it down because I thought I was still "hungry".
Good luck!
fleming13 At least you tried! haha, I know it's so easy to make excuses (There was nothing else to eat, I only did it this once, It won't make a huge difference whether I eat the huge pasta dish or not, etc...) but I'm trying to banish those excuses and replace them with positive thoughts like, If I don't eat that huge pasta dish, and fill up on salad instead, I'm going to feel so much thinner and happier with myself. I try to trick my brain from wanting that bad option into craving the good option because, in fact, I will feel better when I eat the good option. The positive talking to myself rather than being like "I know I'll feel guilty if I eat that pasta, but it's worth it because it's delicious" I take control and say "That salad is going to make me feel awesome, and it is just as delicious as any pasta (or pringles, or soda, etc)." Does that make sense? It's hard sometimes, but its' helping a lot.
I am feeling more and more excited. You ladies are awesome and we WILL kick this! Let's do it!
Fleming- OK I don't know why I never realized this - but you have lost some SERIOUS weight, girl! I mean, you were at 200, and now you are in the 170's... that's awesome! Further proof we gotta get out of this funk so we can keep that weight loss coming!
I know this may sound a little weird, but I feel really motivated today because I remembered the main reason why I'm doing this... So I can have a healthy pregnancy my next time around, and so I won't feel like a blimp for 9 months! HA HA! It really got me thinking "boy... why am I eating like crap, when I really want to be healthy for baby #2?!" and... then, of course, the thought of feeling skinny and sexy is pretty appealing as well.
Have any of you set a deadline type of goal, like a specific date you'd like to have lost your weight by? I haven't but we would like to start trying for baby #2 after 6 months, so in April basically. I don't want to set a specific goal for a specific date because I don't want to feel like garbage if I don't reach that goal, but at the same time I feel like if I set that as a goal I may work harder for it, and then if I don't reach my goal on the scale at least I know I tried my absolute hardest to reach it. Anyway, I know I'm rambling, I'm just talking I guess. Hope you are all doing ok -

I got that book too. While, I liked some of it, the rudeness got to me too. The animal cruelty parts were distrubing to say the least...but, I still eat meat so obviously it wasn't enough to scare me vegan.

So I'm happy, and excited to start level 2 of 30DS today (again!)
Congratulation on your flow. I guess. lol! My monday is lame so far. But I had a good weekend, well...a bad weekend diet wise, but I had a good date.
So ladies, I am going to officially declare myself out of the 170's, I was 168 this morning even after a five beer saturday. I have workouts planned for 5 days this week and a work out buddy to hold me accountable. Food wise I stocked up on tons of veggies and lean meats and have a loaf of whole grain bread and will be bringing my lunch with me. I plan to lose two lbs this week, come hades or high water.
hey im doing great today i found this website that counts calories for you and it has every food ever and you just tell it what you ate and it tells you, it also decides your bmr and uses it along with your imput of what exercise your doing to calculate how much calories your burning in relation to how many your eating, its really great.
