Bumblebee: I want to give you a bunch of hugs. I am sorry the binging and coping with food has been such a struggle for you, but it's amazing to see you continuing to fight it. Continuing the same habits would be the easy route, but you're taking the high road and continuing to fight your way back on track when you fall off. That's a VERY tough thing to do, and I'm amazed by your strength. Keep at it; I know you can achieve all that you desire.

Kit: I'm sorry you had a rough weekend, but kudos to you as well for getting back on track. I feel like you both have worked to overcome some challenges that I haven't yet had to face in my weight loss, and working through those challenges has made you stronger and better prepared for the next ones that come along. I feel unprepared for those, and so worry what will happen when I hit a bump! I suppose I will just have to cross that bridge when I come to it. What an educational process this is, huh?


Sorry I'm so far behind on posting my intake; it has been a busy week! I've been on track though.

Chickadee32,

I really admire how you're incorporating exercising into your daily plan. I really need to do that. Thanks for the sympathy last week was up and down and I did manage to lose 1 pound from the last weigh in. This week I'm determined to stay on track. Maybe now, I got that out of my system (partying).

If you ever feel like you need help or a shoulder just say.

Thanks

Kit

Hi ladies! I'm sorry I've been so absent - my family was in town since last Thursday, and things were extremely hectic. We ran all over the place, all day, all weekend. My eating was really weird as a result (through Sunday all of my meals were out at restaurants), but the scale is down so that's a good thing! Below is what I've been able to track so far. I'll be back later tonight to catch up further!

Bumblebee,

Please take care of yourself and make sure you’re getting proper nutrition. I’m glad you’re better and on the mend. Your walking inspires us all. Thank you for the congratulations; I lost most of the weight before I joined 3FC’s.

I found a new diet through the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition called the VLCD plan I’m going to sign up for. Since it is so low cal., I won’t be posting my menus anymore because I don’t want the "Food Police" to come down on me.

Since I’ve started my journey I have learned a lot about control and discipline and good nutrition with the help of medical experts and the internet. I want to wish you all Good Luck and Best Wishes. I’ll pop in once in a while to say Hi and see how everyone’s doing. Everyone keep up the good work I know you can do it!

Kit

Kit: Thank you I have been trying to walk everyday again and today I had library books due so I decided to walk there and return them then walk back home. It was an 70 minute walk and I really am glad I have done it, even in the humid weather (which usually makes me feels really lazy) as long as I force myself to exercise it will be okay. I hate it most of the time but love the feeling after wards when I am finished. So I guess I must keep it up.

I've heard of a few VLCD, be careful on those since they are very low. As long as you take a good multivitamin each day it should help a lot. I truly wish you the best of luck since you have come so far having 50 pounds lost. I know you will be successful. I'll be looking forward to hearing about how you are doing along the way
