HELP! I soooo need buddies that will challenge me to be a good girl. I moved to Florida 2 years ago and promptly gained 50 pounds!
Dosen't that beat all, I move from chilly Ohio to sunny south Florida, live 1 mile from the beach and won't be caught dead in a bathing suit! And FYI Miami has more models per square mile than anywhere else in the world. I look in the mirror and think "When did I become the fat girl?". I've never been thin, I always considered myself sexy (with all my curves), but now I look like a blob! I am 5'4 and weigh 200 pounds. I just want to get back down to 150! I was happy at that weight and am desperate to be happy again. Lets lose this weight together girls! WE CAN DO IT!!!! Do I have any takers?

you have come to the right place. and you are right we can do it together post often and welcome!!!!!!11

Thanks for the support!

I was in Miami once in my life.. and you're right.. there are some beautiful people there... 2 piece bathing suits galore... some look good.. others look like heroin addicts!! I'm with you though, I've not been in a bathing suit in a few years... hopefully this summer will be different!

Good luck and there is a lot of support here.

That is my goal, to be in a bathing suit by my birthday (July 31st)! I don't want to be built like a twig, I just want to get rid of the rolls!!!!
It's hard because all of my family live in the midwest so they all come and visit and of course they want to go to the beach! I am tired of making excuses for sending them with my husband! I want to be part of the fun.

Hey, Ladies! Sorry I didn't post all week, I feel like such a slacker! Anyway, I ve been doing pretty well, I think. I have been watching my portions, and I have found that not eating at all between meals works best for me. And since I promised to confess any sugar that I ate, I am PSYCHED(!!!) to say that I have had almost none! Yesterday I wanted it sooooooo bad, but I resisted. I wanted to mug anyone that I saw eating anything with sugar in it. But, generally speaking the only sugar I have had is a root beer and a couple of real beers. I really think that the Chromium I am taking is helping. But I did have wheat ( My known food sensitivity) both today and yesterday, so thats not so good. As for the exercise end of things, I am still not doing so hot. I am going for little walks, but nothing like I should be doing. I have been making excuses that I am waiting for my Tae Bo videos to get here, but then they got here and they were the wrong ones so I had to send them back. They are rush delivering the new ones, but I am still feeling a little discouraged. Slacking, slacking... Also on the discouraging end of things, I weighed myself the other day and it said that I had gained four pounds! How is that possible! I am wondering if there can be that great of a discrepincy (spelling?) between your weight in the morning(when I normally weigh myself) and evening? Also I had four beers the night before. I don't usually drink much, so maybe it was super-duper water retention? What do you all think? I am scared to weigh myself now! I have been good, how could I have gained weight? Feedback, please! ( And perhaps a little bit of encouragement, I feel like I need it right now...)Thank you, Guys. Or Girls, I mean. Charis
