My Fluffy Bio
 

HI LADIES.. IN KEEPING WITH THE SHARING THEME, I WILL POST MY INTRODUCTION TO THIS SITE HERE TOO!!!

HI!! MY NAME IS CASSY:D

Married 4 Yrs This April And Want To Look Fabulous For My Anniversary(short Term) And Begin To Fit In The Clothes That He Met Me In :) .
We Grew Up And Grew Out Together....Being Really Small And Then Really Big Afforded Me The Opportunity To See Both Sides Of The Spectrum. I Am Treated Differently As A Larger Person Than I Was When I Was A Smaller Person, Which Can Be Hurtful And Discouraging. I Decided That 2006 Will Be My Year To Make A Change In My Life -from The Inside Out. I Have To Love The Body That I Am In Now And Love And Appreciate The Body That I Want To Be In. Some Days Are Harder Than Others But I Am Determined Now More Than Ever. I Want To Have A Baby In About A Year. I Dont Want To Be This Heavy With Baby Fat Too!! I Have To Be Mindful Of What My Dr. Sister Told Me, " Girl As You Lose You Get More Fertile, So Watch Out!!" ;)
With The Support That I Have Seen Demonstrated Daily On This Site, I Am Certain That I Can Get To Where I Want To Be.. I Will Be More Encouraged To Say That We Can Get There Together!

Well To All My BBW's( Big Beautiful Women) 2006 Is Our Year Baby. Let's Do This!!!!:cp:

Good morning sistas' :O) How is everyone feeling today?? I'm exhausted for some reason, didn't want to get my butt outta bed, the thought of a nice strong cup of java always does the trick though!! I need to get my booty in gear though and start getting ready for the gym, if I'm not there by 9:30 in the morning I won't get there at all....
It's almost the weekend, I'm really paranoid, I don't wanna have another totally busted weekend again, I've worked really hard this week trying to undo the damage I caused last weekend, I'm still kicking myself for that.. I will remain strong in my weakest moments :O) We have the strength, good health... Crystal :O)

Hey Ladies,

I am having a really bad day today. My emotions are getting the best of me right now. I have a lot on my plate and I am definitely trying to stay positive. I will not let my emotions get the best of me where my weightloss progress is concerned. I am having one of those "Feel sorry for me Days". Has anyone had one, or two or three of those kinds of days. Tomorrow is weigh in day and I know that I will see a lose, need to get my toosh up and exercise so the numbers will fall harder. I am making an agreement with myself to do them like to should beginning Monday. I just don't have the energy right now because my issues are sucking me dry.

REGINA....I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE LADY AT WORK. I KNOW THAT SHE HATES IT WHEN WE ORDER FOOD WITHOUT HER. SO TO MAKE HER MAD I WOULD RUN TO THE GET FOOD FOR US..CHINESE, RUBY TUESDAY WHATEVER. ISNT THAT CRAZY. I WAS LETTING THIS EVIL HEFFA SABATOGE MY PROGRESS!

I KNOW IT IS HARD SOMETIMES SUGA. MAYBE FOCUS SO HARD ON THE WEIGHTLOSS GOAL THAT THE OTHER STUFF PAILS IN COMPARISON. I AM NOT SURE HOW HEAVY WHAT YOU ARE GOING THRU IS-AND I KNOW THAT I IS NOT AS SIMPLE AS EATING SNACKWELL INSTEAD OF AN OREO.

WHAT I ALWAYS SAY WHEN THINGS ARE STARTING TO OVERWHELM ME IS "TAKE BACK THE POWER" DONT LET WHO OR WHATEVER IT IS CONTROL YOUR HAPPINESS-YOU OWN THAT. IT WOULD BE GIVING THEM TO MUCH POWER OVER YOU. I'LL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS..:hug:

Hey ya'll.. you sound so bummed :O( I do have the " eel sorry for me days"..frequently..I know it's hard to think positive about anything at the moment..I've found it's easier for me when I'm having alot of stress in my life, to not concentrate on "losing weight" so much as treating myself "well"... Me time, make sense, like instead of dieting for weightloss, try exercising to relieve stress, try eating healthier just to feel good about yourself now..In this moment, doing the things that will help you feel good, taking a time out and going for a short walk..Not to lose weight, just to treat yourself to you time, your needs, nobody elses.. It needs to be all about you..And when your ready to get yourself back to the major challenges of losing weight you'll be ready physically and emotionally.. Do you tend to eat your way through stress or depression?? I've began asking myself before I indulge in a unhealthy food "what will this food solve in my life and how will I feel once I've eaten it"..I know it solves nothing and I'll feel even worse after I've scarfed it down.. It helps me sometimes, and sometimes, my commonsense just disappears when I'm needing it the most!! More than anything, just remember to take it one day at a time and tomorrow is always a fresh start
Good health.. Crystal

Thank you
 

Thank you for being there Cassy...The issues are hitting more at home than work. The good thing about it is I can try to forget when I am at work. I just wish I knew how to take control of everything. I feel like I am failing again. I know I will pull myself back up and do good...I always do. It's just I fell right now like I am falling in a big hole and no on ecan hear me. Once I get some sleep and dream a good dream I'll wake up feeling freshed and I'll be able to handle everything. Thanks again. It's nice to know that there is no judgment here by any means. I definitely need that right now, that it is o.k to be Regina.

Good advice
 

I am actually getting ready to go and clean the inside of my car. I am hoping I can relieve some of this drama. Thanks for your help. I am looking forward to hopefully having a better day tomorrow wtih positive news to share with each one of you. I weigh in in the morning.

Does anyone know how much exercise is enough for one week?? I always feel like I am not getting enough, and I don't want to do so much that I look like a bodybuilder!!(that is my biggest fear) I am following WW but I want to be sure I am actually accomplishing something??

Not So Good.
 

well fellow sistas, how are you all doing?

well for me i feel like im barely gettin by.

i had a "slip up"

5:30 p.m:: DINNER: about a cup of white rice with beef, onion, green bellpepper, and tomato. went back for more vegetables.

9:30 p.m:: ????: 1/2 cup white rice with beef, tomato, onion, and green bellpepper.

9:45'ish p.m:: 1 corn dog with ranch and katchup for dipping.

i feel bad because i havent exercised at all today.

and is it normal for my right side of my lower back to hurt when jogging? has anyone had the same thing happen to them?

Hello all, what a fantastic group you all are. And so want to be a Fluffy Sista,
About me, my name is Angie, 37 yrs old, married with two teen boys. I need to lose about 120 lbs. *sigh I swear I have lost it a few times over but it keeps coming back...hmmm could be I love my food? ya. And that most days Im lazy slug....ya
I joined WW also back in Sept. Did great the first 2 months then all things fell apart with Christmas, I had some health issues that I took care of with surgery 5 weeks ago. Been off work since but am going back next week...grrr
I will be rejoining WW since being away this long I have to rejoin.
I have one of my closest friends who just started Medifast,,,,she has lost 9 lbs in 9 days,,,tempted, ( just to jump start) but have allergies to a couple of things. Aspertame (instand migrain) and bananas, which is used alot for sweetner, and other things.
Cassy, why is that woman all up in your face?
Regina, sounds like this is a good place to unload,,,
Rosie, smart about the flavoured water intake before lunch. I need to do that.

oh ya I was born in the Northwest Territories, went to school there till grade 11 and then finished in Red Deer Alberta.

Rosie, you might want to hold off on the jogging and do some brisk walking instead. You didn't hurt your back somewhere did you? Sometimes proper footwear can make a difference too, but I think you should do a less jarring exercise and if it persists see your Dr. (man I almost sound intelligent there, seriously so not like me,,,but I am trying to make a good impression...lol)

Welcome to the sisterhood
 

Do you know what could be causing the pain in my foot...just kidding.LOL! You had me going there for a minute. Thanks for joining the Sistas of the Fluffyhood. Everyone here is awesome and we have all been sharing a lot in the short time that I I asked for a buddy on the forum. Well I better go for now and weigh in. Keep your fingers crossed.:o

Was it a gain or was it a loss?

I have some really bad news for you all....I...Lost 2 more lbs, Go Regina it's your Birthday. No really its not :) I was happy when I stepped on the scale this morning. I truly thought it was only going to be 1 lb but then I saw the outcome...can I get a WHOO-HOO!!!

I'm Gonna eat some worms
 

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I'm gonna eat some worms..;)
I am wishing everyone a wonderful weigh in and know that the pounds will fall off everyone. We are shedding our fur now ladies. I know Amanda Mae totally rocks with her workouts, so does Ms. Turbo Jam herself, Cassy.
So how is Canada, my grandfather was from there. I am not exactly sure where but I'll find out. Good Luck my little chick-a-dees. I am on a weightloss high all because of you all and the support. Kudos to you all.:carrot: :bravo: :grouphug: :balloons:

WE GOT AN EMAIL YESTERDAY ABOUT HER HAVING TO STRAIGHTEN UP-SENT TO ME TOO AS IF WE BOTH HAD AN ISSUE WHICH PISSED ME OFF... AND SHE WAS AS SWEET AS PIE LAST NIGHT..

LOVE YALL!!

Hey chicas'... Sorry I was away yesterday :O) I missed alot didn't I?!? I tend to not be home much Friday-Sunday.. But I'm definately gonna check back in to see how everyones day goes :O)
I didn't go exercise yesterday, my day was really busy and since I'd went to my gym Thursday mornin' and then walked the greenbelt for and hour and a half I figured I'm still doin' allright, I do plan to go exercise this evening though for sure... So congrats to all you babes on your losses,, hi-five.. My weight this mornin' was 183,, it took me all week to undo my damage from last weekend, I'm really gonna kick myself this weekend to keep it together!! I feel good though, you notice how you always feel more uplifted when your eating healthier and getting more exercise?? I went shopping last night for my girls' summer outfits and I found the cutest pair of jeans, but they were not my size, I'm a size 16 misses and those jeans are size 13 juniors, so I figured I'd buy them as an incentive to lose weight...Hope it will work :O) Otherwise I'm out some $$.... Ok gals' have an positive, energetic day!! Crystal

I too am tired of being fluffy and shopping at the W rack!!!
I have been a member of Weight Watchers for 11 weeks now and have lost 71/2 lbs. :carrot:
I would love to give and recieve support....
My neice is getting married Memorial Day weekend so that is my goal ... I want to buy a new dress and a new size!!

cjlafaye, do you think she will continue to be all sweet? Personally I would document everything and if she gets out of control again, bring her behaviour (that is documented) to attention. When i worked for a union years ago we had a person (bad apple) who was just down right miserable, 2 of us documented her remarks, and attitude/behaviour. She was brought in and told she has to straighten up, or she would be transfered. After the 3rd time in she was transfered to anothe dept. She hated it and ended up quitting.

Regina, Canada is pretty big, but in the western area its pretty warm, we are doing the spring thing. But we never put our shovels away till end of June,,,there is always a crazy snow storm in either April or May. Not that we had much of a winter,,,seriously tropical here...lol

Chery Good for you! 1 more homeless pound walking the streets!

well off to do my Sat chores...vocal lessons, and cleaning. Want to pain the bathroom, and livingroom/kitchen.

Hey everyone I have had a good week. I weigh in in Thursdays with 2 friends and I was down 1.2. I was happy as I was so sure that I gained. I think I am becoming obsessed with my scale. I actually get on it 2-3 times a day!!! OMG get a life I keep saying to myself. I am thinking of just chucking the darned thing.

Julie it is ok to have chocolate. On ww you can have whatever you want as long as you count it. Write it down & be accountable. some days I hit 45 pts and you know what......tomorrow is a new day!!! just start over. get back on track. Have you tried the ww chocolates? they are very good. I also got a totally and I mean TOTALLY awesome mocha chocolate brownie recipe. It is to die for. Keep at it---good for you for excersizing! my downfall!

Amanda--omg girl good for you to get down below 160. I keep thinking about all you guys and how well you have done and how far you've come. Toally inspiring for me. If you can I can!

Crystal-your rain commect made me laugh! I am in Cananda and we just got a foot of snow two weeks ago. that was a total (must be the word of the day for me) workout just walking the dog and shoveling. I was exhasted after trudging about in all that snow at the off leash park for my dog. Good workout for the legs and butt though! right?? right?

Have an awesome week ladies and keep me posted.

Sandy :)

Sandy where bouts in Alberta? I know it snowed the one day a few weeks ago, but I didn't leave the house for 2 weeks so didn't have to suffer throu the drifts.
Have you seen the Cadbury choc? There are the slims...I think they said it was 2 points. Could you share the recipe. I wish I could eat the WW choc. it has aspertame, which is instant migraine. Wouldn't it be great if all choc had aspertame in it? And ice cream. Id be skinny!

I think Im going to go and buy a digital scale, I have a pic expensive one I bought a couple of years ago,,,I swear it can't tell the right weight...lol I am not addicted to the scale at all,,maybe I shold be then I would not want to have ice cream...I shouldn't be saying that.

i need a buddy also I am new here and not sure how this works can someone help??

Hey ladies. Well today was my weigh-in day at WW and I was down 1.6 pds. WOO HOOO. :dancer: Very excited. This was my 3rd official weighin, 4th week. So down total 5.8 pds. Thought I was gonna gain cause its close to TOM but i didnt. Very exciting.
So how is everyones weekend so far?

Hello sistas! I cant believe it is sunday already! I had a good weigh in on friday, down about 2 lbs. :carrot: I hope everyone has an awesome week!!

I LOVE these dancing carrots!!!! They are a hoot! Congrats to all who lost weight this week and keep up the hard work.

I am in Edmonton. We literally had about a foot of snow 2 weeks ago but it is almost gone again. We have had a great winter so I really can't complain but my grass will be nice and green when the snow is all gone.

Can anyone tell me if anyone saw the blog from the lady saying that her ww group was trialing a new program for ww? I believe it was in the journals but for the life of me I can not find it again. I got company just when I started to read it and want to know more about what she wrote.

I tend to lose track of things I read here and then can't find them again. I wander around aimlessly looking.

Anyways ladies it is my bedtime so have a great week and I will try to get back on tomorrow.

I'm still alive
 

Good morining to all of my sistas,

I am at home today with the stomach bug. I feel like I have been gone from the site for a long time. It has been a few days since I last wrote.

First off let me say CONGRATULATIONS to the following ladies for the great week they had:
Amanda Mae, Cassy, Amanda, Sandy, and Sarah :cheer: I am so proud of each one of you.

Welcome to SFLASUE and ALLISONJAY in finding our FLUFFYHOOD. We are glad to have you part of our Sisterhood. We are all here for you both.:welcome3:

Ms. Rosie- girl don't kill yourself working out and don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day. We have all gone through that at one point, just pull yourself up and try try again. We're here for you girl.:grouphug:

I hope everyone has a wonderful day as I hope my little bug goes again because I am tired of paying tribute to the porcelian god. I'll be thinking of each of you today. Rock on Sistas!!!:flow2:

Hey all, sounds like such a great week for all you Sisters! Great Job!

I ate clean Friday then did an about face Sat and Sunday,,,bad bad. Today has started off good though.
Need to get my sewing machine fixed, and I can finish more costumes for my son's play.

I have to go back to work Thursday and seriously feel down about that, I liked being at home. Even if I had to have surgery for it.

well I should get my errands done...

Hi girlies :O) I see I missed alot over the weekend!! It's great to hear everyone's doin' so well :) Let's keep up the good work and motivation for each other!!
ChickenBee, you sound very determined, good for you :O) Stay positive and you'll achieve your goals in no time!!
Does anyone here stress about after you've lost weight if you'll be able to maintain it?? I've been overly stressin' about that, I'd rather not lose any at all, than to lose, then have it all creep back on, ya know?!? I know how silly I'm sounding :O)
So my weight this mornin' was 181,, yippeee.. I can't wait 'til my cute size 13 Mudd jeans will fit me!! Good health everyone :O) Crystal

HEY LADIES!! I NEED A GORUP HUG TODAY:hug:

THIS WEEKEND WAS HORRIBLE!! WELL I WENT AND GOT A COUPLE OF KEY PEICES TO WEAR OUT SAT. I BOUGHT A BRA THAT WAS A 40DDD OFF THE RACK!!!WHICH IS GREAT FOR ME CUZ I WAS A 44 EEE. I PROBABLY AM STILL A EEE AS I HAD A SOME SPILLAGE ON THE SIDES BUT I WAS HAPPY.. I COULD HAVE EASLY GOT INTO A 38 FOR SURE!! I THOUGHT I LOOKED CUTE AND THE PANTS I GOT FELT REALLY GOOD! SO AS I AM GETTING DRESSED WEARING THE PANTS AND THEY START TO LOOSEN UP A LITTLE.. I WASNT TOO UPSET BUT I WAS HOPING THAT IT WOULD BE THE ONLY SLACK I GOT. WELL TURNS OUT IT WASNT, IT GOT REALLY BAGGY WHICH MADE ME VERY SUBCONSCIENCE. IT WAS REALLY HOT IN THE PLACE SO ALL THE HEFFAS IN THERE WAS HALF NAKED! WHICH I EXPECTED BUT THIS WAS LIKE A COYOTE UGLY PLACE-EVERYBODY ON TOP OF TABLES. SO OF COURSE ALL THE PEOPLE I WAS WITH WERE ON THE TABLES AND MY BIG BUTT WASNT GETTING UP THERE. SO I WAS REDUCED TO LOOKING UP AT THEM DANCE ON THE TABLE WHILE I SAT IN THE BOOTH. FOR THE 1ST TIME IN A LONG TIME I FELT INVISIBLE. ONE OF THE GIRLS WE WERE WITH LOST OVER 100 LBS.. SHE LOOKED AMAZING IN HER 4 INCH HEELS ON THE TABLE! I WAS SO PROUD OF HER BUT FELT HORRIBLE FOR GETTING TO THIS PLACE IN MY LIFE. SOME GUY SAID THAT HIS FRIEND HAD BEEN WATCHING ME SINCE I WALKED IN AND WANTED TO DANCE LATER. I MET THE GUY AND AND HE SEEMED REAL NICE BUT I FELT LIKE HE DID IT ON A DARE OR SOMETHING. LIKE WITH A SEA OF NAKED BODIES AROUND HE PREFERRED TO DANCE WITH ME!

SO I AM SITTING THERE AND SOME DRUNK CHICK SPILLS HER DRINK IN MY BOOTH OF COURSE ALL OVER MY PANTS SO I COULDNT MOVE UNTIL IT DRIED. THEN SOME CHICK SITS ON TOP OF THE SEAT BEHIND ME AND KEPT HITTING ME IN THE HEAD WITH HER SHOULDER PURSE! I HAD TO ALMOST PUSH HER OFF HER CHAIR BEFORE SHE REALIZED I WAS TRYING TO GET HER ATTENTION!! I FELT HORRIBLE. BY THE END OF THE NIGHT IT LOOKED LIKE MY BUTT SAGGED TO MY KNEES BECAUSE OF THE PANTS AND THE SHIRT I HAD ON SOMEHOW GOT REALLY BIG-STRETCHED OUT I GUESS. SO WHEN I GOT TO THE CAR I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO WEEP. I WENT OF COURSE STRAIGHT TO MICKEY D'S AND GOT A BIG MAC AND SHAKE-SOOO GOOD BUT SO NOT WORTH IT.. I GOT HOME AND CRIED MYSELF TO SLEEP.

I WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY AND WENT TO CHURCH. I WANTED TO CRY THE WHOLE TIME. IT WASNT UNTIL SOMEONE GOT UP TO ASK FOR PRAYER THAT I FOUND THE OPPORTUNITY TO CRY.

I DIDNT WORK OUT AT ALL THIS WEEKED. I WOKE UP THIS MORN AND WATCHED "HUFF" DID ANYBODY SEE IT?? GOOD SHOW. I BEGAN TO CRY A LITTLE AND MY SIS CALLED.. SHE IS VACATIONING IN NY BUT TOOK HER TJ DVD'S WITH HER. SHE CALLED TO ENCOURAGE ME AND TO TELL ME SHE LOVED ME-WHICH PUT EVERYTHING IN FOCUS.. I GOT UP AND DID THE 20 MIN TJ WORKOUT!!!:carrot: I FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT. I AM BACK ON THE ROAD NOW YALL.. WHEW!! IT IS SO HARD SOMETIMES. CONGRATS TO ALL THAT HAVE LOST THOSE LBS!!!! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION!!

Cheer Up
 

Hey Cj

Don't spend another second of your precious time moping aroung feeling sorry for yourself. :( Pick yourself up and get right back on track. You should feel good--you did your TJ. :ebike: Don't sweat it just move on. We all have moments like this, I know I do but I've learned not to feel guilty about it b/c when we do we sometimes just sink further and further into sabotaging ourselves.

Wishing You The Best
Denise

Oh Cassy sorry to hear about your weekend. Don't dispare because in order to learn how to live this new life we have to fall every once in a while. Like Denise said pick your self up and get back on track! You did the turbo jam so that means something - you started a new day. I'm here with you all the way!!

Crystal I hear what you are saying. In the past I have lost weight up to 35 lbs and I was so freaked out by all the attention I got from everyone I could't handle it. Especially guys. When I was heavier I didn't get the comments that I got after I lost my weight. In my mind no matter what I lose or how good I look all I see when I look in the mirror is the "fat' kid in school.

My hubby L is very good to me. He loves me fat or thin. He has always been my biggest supporter and especially this time around. He keeps telling me how proud he is of me because I joined Curves and go at least 3 time a week. Our 16 yr old daughter joined as well and I try to set a good example for her and she is always telling me I have a bad body image of myself. All I really want is to be healthy and be aroung for them. I also have a son, step-daughter who gave me a beautiful grandson. I love them to pieces and want to aroung to the grads and weddings etc.


Regina feel better! Drink lots of fluids.

Have a good week everyone.

Sandy

DENISE AND SANDY...MANY THANKS TO YOU SISTAS FOR THE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT. TODAY IS ANOTHER STEP TOWARD MY GOAL I AM THINKING ONLY POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND FOCUSING ON THE FUTURE. MY BUTT DIDNT GET THIS BIG OVER NIGHT AND I AM NOT GOING TO LOSE IT OVERNIGHT EITHER. I REALLY FEEL LIKE I AM PART OF SOMETHING HERE AND I DONT FEEL LIKE I AM ALONE IN THIS. I HAVE NEVER REALLY BEEN A THREAD POST PERSON BUT I FEEL LIKE IF I DONT CHECK IN DAILY, I AM MISSING SOME DAILY NOURISHMENT THAT I NEED.

I AM GOING TO TJ NOW...SMOOCHES!!:hug:

THANKS AGAIN REGINA BABY...

Cassy, I have a love hate relationship with pants that have 7-9 % spandex in them. I always buy them too tight because within a half hour they are baggy enough to be comfortable. You buy them fitting just right and they will be sagging.

Have to tell you about someone I work with and hang out with, we joined WW together hoping we could help each other,,,Ive been away from the meetings for the last 6 weeks, I had surgery. Anyways My friend ordered Medifast and for the last 2 weeks have been doing that, she has been loosing a pound a day,She has to loose about 150 lbs so her whole plan is to take this for 2 months then continue on her own,,,she says this is just a jump start. Im seeing her results and want to do it too,,,,anyone been there and done that?

I am DA FAT and DA Furious!!
 

I too hate spandex pants. I am so sick of fat clothes in general that I could scream! I do not even try to wear jeans anymore! Help me!! Help me! Further explain what your friend is doing to loose 1 pound a day!!;)

Shes on some shake program, Medifast.

I find that jeans that have like 4% spandex hold better, anything over 7% look out,,,Ive been walking up the stairs carrying something and have had my jeans falling off my butt...funny now...lol

Good morning my sistas,

I returned to work but wish I was at home today. I was sick yesterday and hate coming back because it always seems like I get crap from my supervisor because I didn't show up. Why do people act like that? She acts like she is paying me to work and no one is entitled to be out but her...hate it for her. I got the same crap when I was out for a month due to my surgery last year. Let me find out what other type of surgery I can have just to piss her off even more....just kidding. Would be nice to have my own plastic surgeon to rid myself of the flab I will have after I LOSE MY WEIGHT...Not when but after I lose it. This thread has me striving for the top. Thanks to all of you...smile ladies.

Regina, I have to go back to work on Thursday and wish I didn't have to go, I have been off for a full 6 weeks because I had surgery...willing to have surgery again just so I didn't have to go back...lol kidding
