I got depressed when I weighed, then I realllly got depressed when I looked at my before pictures . Anywhoo, that's why I'm here, to change all that.


Extrinsic Rapture: Teach me how to post a picture.


I do believe we're missing a member, MissMeliss, get in here!

Well guess I should post some goals hmmm...
- 3 days of exercise: 1 cardio, 1 stretch, 1 weights (I'm doing none right now, so after I accomplish that I'll work myself back up to when I could do 6)
- Staying within calorie intake (I didnt recieve the plan I'll be following yet so I'll just do this for now)
- Drinking 6-8 glasses of water everyday (I have a habit of keeping this up every other day for some reason )
- Trying to find another avenue for emotions (loneliness, anger and boredom mostly)

Good Morning, so far so good...the 1st and 2nd days I ate properly, drank about 80-100ozs of water and got some exercise...and although I wish the scale would stop fluctuating...it say 299 again...and that is sooo much better than the 303 that I did see...guess it was just the difference in time of day and eating dinner and all that good stuff...today is my day off so I am off to run some errands...be good, stay on plan and I will update some exercise later

seems like you're using the right format ONLY1SPECIALK but something's wrong with the actual url that you're placing in b/w the img brackets (last thing in url should be dot(.)pictureformat (example:www.XXX/xxx.jpg or gif...)
theotherjen your weight is going to keep fluctuating...thats just what it does from day to day depending on what you eat the sodium in it, when you ate etc. i understand your frustration though

Are you guys on a certain diet? I just calorie counting (healthy choices). On my busy work week, I might average 1000-1200 cal per day, but I limit myself to no more than 1500 cals per day. Sofar so good with everything (exercise, diet, and water-96oz). I think I might try for a gallon of water once or twice a week.

Theotherjen: Don't stress over the scale, you know you're doing everything right (diet, exercise, water). I once weighed 3 times in one day---down in the morning---up by afternoon---and back down by bedtime. If you have to weigh, just do it once a week. Then you will have just 1 day of stress instead of a whole week worth of stress .


ExtrinsicRapture: Thanks for the directions, I'm just going to have to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Right now I'm not following a certain diet. I'm just making sure I eat every few hours. and keeping a food log. I wish to follow the Michael Thurmond plan and give that a shot. But I'm still waiting for the package to arrive. I need to see if it's simple enough to follow because I have no time to study for classes and study an eating plan! If all else fails i can just re-sell it on ebay....it was selling like hotcakes there! hahaha I need to tweek my eating a bit as well as incorporate some more water. As far as exercise I havent' conquered that beast as of yet.
