sweet pea! I can't write now as I have a story to do and I have 30 mins to do it! BUT, I wanted to say that you mustn't be scared. The weight is there whether you see the numbers or not. If you don't want to see them, then simply stay off the scale! Just take things step by step. The weight doesn't have to all come off now. Bingeing is a sign of other things bothering you. Maybe you need to work on them. Maybe you should start with a small challenge to gain some sense of accomplishment and, more importantly, power and control in your life. When you binge, you feel out of control, but remember that too is a type of control. In any case, challenging yourself not to binge is just too big for you now. I don't think it's possible, really. You could challenge yourself to allow yourself to binge but only on certain foods. I used to do that with my no-sugar challenges. In any case, please rethink your challenge and start something, small perhaps. Ok? Think on that for me, will you?! :hug:

Good morning all you motivated people.....yes sweet pea that includes you ;)
sweet pea, everything the red said :) ktgk, I don't think you can gain 3lbs over night, maybe what you ate made you retain more water?? Anyway keep at it, I think every once in a while we need to remove the restrictions and indulge. Good luck with your new challenge!! djstorey, good luck with the floor, did you help?? I am sure laying new floor must burn a lot of calories. jollygirl, keep that chin up and I hope you work it all out and stay on track. I think you are doing just fantasic, cut yourself some slack and keep up the good work!!! OKay now for me :) Yesterday was an amazing day!! I did great *patting myself on the back* . I kept those calories down got in my exercise....even a little extra, as I did some dancing with the kids (I have 4 of them) and I had enough calories left over to have a little treat with out going over my days allotment of calories. All in all it was a fantastic day for me and I am proud of myself.....can ya tell ;) . So today is...... DAY FOUR for water and exercise DAY THREE for calorie count I can feel that today will be another good one......I challenge all of you to have a great day too!! Looking forward to hearing all the good reports tomorrow :) Come girls you can do it :cheer: sw/cw/gw 206/183/140 |

Question: Should I start on day 1 of the thread or day 1 of exercising?
|

Well i have been exercising everyday for the past 7 days even if only for 20 minutes!
1) Exercise daily (at least 20 min) 7 days done! 2) Drink 64oz of water (at least) 7 days done! |

we have liftoff!!
Hi all! Just stopping in to say hello and check who's been posting. Not too much action these days. What has happened to everyone's motivation?!?! :shrug: We had some newcomers and then nothing....come in and post!! :wave: I'm so busy it's not funny. But, I'm just trying to keep chipping away at the work, keep a good attitude and get through this all a winner! :yes: As for the challenge.....I just got down on the floor and did some crunches, 10 sets of 20. So, I'm going to make that my new challenge for now. Day 1 in the bag!
************** princess -- Hello! Glad to hear from you. And wow! Congratulations on the 10 lbs gone!! :cb: Yes, that IS good! :yes: Sorry to hear work is a *****. Mine is a drag as well... Well, hope to hear more from you soon. We're a bit short on action here these days. Sure would like to see some of the old regulars back! jolly -- How did your weekend go? I hope you did have lots of fun. Stop in soon! :sunny: About that article you spoke of, that, I think, is very, very true. I have read similar and totally agree. I think it's part of my problem, or was. I think, too, that even if you don't use being overweight as an excuse, it is subconsciously there, this something to do that isn't being done and so you feel like you still have time, like you're an unfinished work of art, whatever, when, really, and I know this sounds harsh, but...your life is passing you by. Not you particularly, in general. Then again, I think it may also be more important to grab hold of life NOW, at whatever weight you are, however you look and just enjoy it. These are moments that will never be again. You know, I just remembered something that, even now kind of gives me shivers and makes me teary kind of. It was Sunday as I was coming home from the Derby. As the train pulled into the platform I saw someone waiting outside and he was the most horribly disfigured person I have ever seen. A young man, I have seen this in a book, some disease that causes horrible growths on the face. Well, I won't go into detail, but even I, who have seen much, was shocked. I felt this fear like go through me, some scared kind of feeling like you don't want to believe that this person has to go through life looking like that and at the same time realizing just how blessed I am. Even now, thinking of it, makes my eyes well up. I thought how petty my complaints were, my wanting to lose 30 lbs or so, my feeling older and not very pretty, and I meet this fellow and wow...made me ashamed at my lack of humility. Rebeca -- How are you doing? Is this you in your avatar pic?! If so, you are beautiful! Hope you post with us regularly and get to know everyone! :dancer: MyOwn -- Having another good day, I hope! :spin: sweet pea -- Did you read my last message? Tell me what you think. :dance: Hope you're doing better. Are you going to stick with the no-bingeing challenge? If you do no alcohol I could do it with you....she says reluctantly... :^: kt -- So, are you starting a new challenge? Don't worry about those 3 lbs. They're probably just fluid, nothing to get worried about! dj -- Wearing off more calories with the flooring? Hope you get a computer soon. tweety -- Where are you?!?! :shrug: Come in and post! Everyone else, come in and say heh!! :wave: |
Good morning all. Yes, I had an awesome weekend. Lots of long weekend celebrating though, so I just hope to have the scale stay the same this week. I am ok with that for now. I had so much fun with family and friends.
Red, I hear you on those eye opener moments. I realize I am truly blessed. Really, the only thing I am not enjoying right now is male companionship. that is because a) I don't get out there, and b) I can't quite get the chip off my shoulder. OK. There is one other thing. I am waiting to lose 20 more pounds before learning to jump. That is more because I don't think my little Arab should have to carry so much extra weight. But we are getting there. Doing ground pole work to remind him to pick up his darn feet and watch where he is going!!! I think I am taking a day off from the gym. I need to go up and see my grandparents today. Was summoned for reasons unknown. . . I want to spend a little time on some pampering this morning. I will try and do yoga, a bike ride, or get to the gym tonight. Have a wonderful day all. :wave: |
Yeah, my new challenges are on the top of page 22.......................and Iīve already had to start over.....
My challenges (seperate): 1. No chocolate (a big trigger food for me) Level 2 2. No bread (I donīt know if Iīm allergic to wheat or what, but I always gain weight when I eat bread...maybe itīs just the extra calories...I donīt know) Level 1 3. 3 L water daily Level 1 4. 30 minutes of activity daily Level 3 5. 10 minutes stretching daily Level 2 --Katherine |
Ok, Now i get the game! Sorry I am too lazy to exercise and too lazy to read! LOL
I appreciate the warm welcoming! RED- Thanks! Thats really me! LOL ... (notice: the pic is only fron the waste up! the waste down is a different story)... LOL 1) Exercise daily (at least 20 min) 7 days done! LEVEL 2 2) Drink 64oz of water (at least) 7 days done! LEVEL 2 I gotta confess somethings for you guyz! First I am addicted to Chocolate! Cant get over that just yet...Second: I HATE EXERCISING!!!! this is the hardest one for me! Third, I love water but cant get enough during the weekends so its pretty hard to go 21 days! Ok yesterday went well, got my exercising early in the morning, today I only did 30 cruches but i have a cardioblast (1 hour class) before going to college! |
hi red!
yes i did get your message but the difficulty is if i cut sugar i just binge on other things. like breads and pizza and so on (ok i'm stopping no food porn lol). i just switch my behaviour from one thing to another. but i agree the challenge seems almost insurmountable. my first challenge was 21 days journalling which i did to help me get on top of any blocks that were affecting my eating. i've done that now (altho i don't think i posted as i was away at the time on holiday) alcohol free i can do - i threw away the rest of the wine and plan to keep my sticky mitts off the alcohol at the shops next time i'm there. if i don't have it in the house i am fine i will think if there is some other challenge i can do but binge free is what i need LOL. i don't want to do an exercise challenge as i like to have a rest day each week so i can't do it 21 days solid. rebecca i'm addicted to chocolate too. very hard to give up. katherine do you gain weight from bread or is it size? if it's size then it could be gluten as it causes bloating |
