I was 'convinced' I had a slow metaoblism. I found out that was totally wrong. My body responded beautifully to a change in eating, drinking, and exercising habits. Like the article said only a truly small percentage of people can't lose weight if they really change things. And 'no excuses' is probably a pretty darn good thing for people to keep in mind when they are trying to lose weight.

Yup, I know for a fact that I have really good metabolism, not as lucky as some who can sit on their duffs eating ice cream all day and not working out, and still end up looking like a supermodel, but if I get up and do something daily, I really don't even have to watch what I eat so much, my body was conditioned at a young age to workout. only problem NOW is, that I have fibro, and there are some days where I don't want to, and some days where I flat out CAN'T but those days are few these days, switching to the vegan diet really helped that... I had my slug period last week, been trying to shake it off this week, and hopefully by MOnday, I'll be my usual self again :-)

A few months back, I had a poll and thread called "What's YOUR excuse?" Where we all purged our most abused excuses... was kinda fun, and eye opening

Hi, it's Luckymom1
Haven't written anyone lately. Been down in the dumps. Can't seem to break through the 220lbs. Started aerobics two wks. ago. Yeah, I do modify but I keep moving.

Got some encouragement from the other threads running. I also received coaching from my Xenical monitor. Diabetes, HTN, hypothyroid, and depression cause progress to be frustrating and a challenge. Can anyone suggest things that I can do to break through this weight level. I seem to be fixed. I suppose I should look at from the stand point this is the first time in over 2 years that I haven't gained. I started out at 120 lbs and have been gaining since that weight 2-3 lbs each doctors visit (1 lb a mth) what a mess. HELP!!!!
Yours
Luckymom

PNG,

I was reading posts here and there one day, and saw what the PNG stands for - I love it!!!

This is a really good article. Thank you. I'm a world class excuse maker. These are some really great ideas to keep in front of me. If I only had a printer....

Thanks again, Phat Neubian Gawdess!!!

Luckymom1, just keep up on the aerobics. Did you measured yourself before you started? If you can see a difference in your measurements, that might give you the motivation to keep plugging along. Have you tried small modifications? For instance, maybe you could cut out a potentially dangerous food for a couple of weeks and see if that makes a difference. Do you eat a lot of carbs? Try to cut back on the bread, or potatoes. Just an idea.

Good luck to all,

Gayle {:~D))

Your a doll. No, I didn't but I feel like my clothes fit better.HMMM. I curtailed some of the extras but am having problems with bedtime snacking.

Maybe if I try and go to bed instead of heading for the snacks that will help. Thank you again and I do like the PNG thing, too. It's great.

See ya.
Luckymom
