Carol -

My condolences on the loss of your mother.

Still no enjoyment of food. I eat and my hunger goes away and that's about it. I suppose it will take time to get back to normal. Another bump in the road. How is everyone doing with IE?

Turbo Jam is a kick boxing program similar to Tae Bo but a lot more fun. You can order the DVDs from beachbody.com or QVC. The instructor Chalene makes it fun and exciting - not as structured as Tae Bo. You even dance sometimes. They always show the low impact moves and really anybody can do it. The first set of tapes are about 20 minutes long each. There are other more advanced ones. I have them all and I am currently doing the advanced rotation where I work out 45 - 60 minutes a day, usually using two different dvds. There is also a Turbo Jam thread on 3fatchicks under fitness videos.

I am currently doing a 10 day challenge and have worked out 7 of the last 8 days. Eating has not been great. I have not lost any more weight yet. I am really getting fustrated. I am trying to stay off the scale this week as I am near that TOM. When I finish the challenge I would have worked out 9 out of 10 days. That will be an accomplishment as I have never worked out so consistently. I just wish the pounds will fly off. I think I need to look at the type of foods I am eating and try to cut down on some of the junk.

How is everyone else doing with IE? Anyone loosing?

I did my exercises first thing this morning and today seems a little better. My son from Detroit brought my grandson to cheer me up and it worked. Eating has been good due to lack of enjoyment, I think. I started to read Rob Stevens book again. Wish Linda would come back to tell us how it is going on Thintuition. I have lost about 5lb. I wonder if I shouldn't weigh every day. Thanks again for all your condolences.

Just finished cutting up about 100lb of tomatoes for juice. Now I will cook them for a few hours and then run them through the food mill. Should make about 21 qt....just guessing. I have a big bag of beans to work on, too. But I'm sure we will enjoy them this winter. The kids like them, too. Most of them live in apts and don't have gardens. There is nothing like a fresh tomato. I have one big one with toast for lunch. Better get something ready for supper with all the company that will be here. Good to keep busy at a time like this.

Worked out last night. Eating was better. Need to say off the scale TOM. Hoped on it today and got depressed.

carolr3639 · 08-23-2006, 09:49 AM

I ate supper last night not very hungry but only ate a little and think no damage was done. We had a lot of company due to my mom's death and just didn't feel like not sitting there with them without eating a little. I had drank some soy milk while canning the tomatoes because I was so tired. It helped but it cut my appetite. Worked out ok in the end. If anyone reading here is wonderiing if IE is worth it read Rob Stevens book The Overfed Head. It is short simple, and the guy lost 140 lb in a year and a half. There are lots of other good books on IE. Even Gwen's Shamblin's Weigh Down Diet is based on IE though she has been in hot water about her Biblical doctrine.

Has anyone ever heard of The Diet Survivors Handbook by a couple of sisters who are therapists? This is not to be confused with the diet survivors web site. Just wonder if it is worth reading.

carolr3639 · 08-24-2006, 12:47 PM

Guess I'll post here everyday to see if anyone joins back in. My mom's memorial is this evening. My brother from AR will be here soon. He's a lawyer. What a blessing! He takes care of all the legal things. Still not very hungry and that's probably a good thing. Still eating though, just not enjoying it much. My 5lb is staying off so far. Guess that's always been the problem. Last year I lost 30lb due to illness but regained it quickly when I started taking prednisone.

Carol,

Don't leave I am still here. Even if it is just the two of us we can support each other. Just take things one day at a time. My brother died in 2002 and I still sometimes have bad days. This week is my TOM and I have been eating everything in site and eating way past full. Hopefully I can get back on track. Craving all things sweet and fast food. This will pass I know. I am not going to feel bad about. I am just going to go with the flow and get back on track next week. Still working out. Only missed 2 days in the 9.

Yes, I have been losing a lot. Three jeans sizes in under 2 months. I hope it continues to come off this easily.

Hi Carol and Lisa. Keep on truckin'. I finally got the book - things are slow up here in the Great White North.

Haven't had a chance to skim it yet but it's on my ToDo list. I've been off on a Ruthie Road trip to Indiana and just got back - via Chicago, Lisa. What an airport!

I'm a lot older than you two and know just how much it affects one when a parent or sibling dies.
