Given me support, and encouragement. Keeps me motivated by having to live up to what the scale says. The cost is great. If the cost was more, i don't think i could go. Having fun, and meeting new friends, and keeps me reading articles about weightloss. What has this board done for you. Wow, so much. Support, motivation, encouragement, friendship, listens to babbling, journaling(helping me realize things about myself). Helping me become a better person. What do you do to keep yourself motivated? exercise, and working on change. (from the inside out) WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS:breaking old habits. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I'm working on changing my thoughts, and my habits. Just because i'm eating low calorie veggies, doesn't mean i can over indulge. Learning self-control. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I usually put others first. If you hurt, i hurt. I'm not good at remembering dates, and things, but i constantly think of my friends, and wish the best for them. I would rather others be happy than myself, and i would do what i can to help them be happy. However, through this weight loss journey, i'm working on myself. Some of those habits, are the reason for me being overweight. It's ok to care for others, but an hour a day of exercise isn' t going to change anything that i give them. Plus, if I'm doing better, i can do more for others. We were put on this earth to do what we can, not what we can't. |
WOW!!!! I can't believe I actually figured out how to copy and paste something.

Very smart and obediant. TOP WEIGHT: 231.25 when I joined TOPS. I think I was about 10-20#'s heavier before that.....but I wouldn't step on a scale. CURRENT WEIGHT: 219 GOAL WEIGHT: 170 HEIGHT: 5'7" EYE COLOR: blue HAIR COLOR: brown, then mixed with gray....and now brown again for the past 9 yrs. LOLOL! Would look alot older without the 'bottle'.

BUT....hanging onto it is so hard and I will always be a TOPS member. I was Co State Queen Runnerup in 1995 and KOPS Charm and Beauty 2nd place winner at Co SRD in 1996. What an honor that was and something I will NEVER forget. I've lost KOPS twice and am striving for the 'lucky 3rd time'. What has this board done for you: More than I could ever explain. Made some wonderful friends. We all have the same desire and to see others go through similar struggles lets me know that I'm not alone in this. I find the ladies here more open than my chapter members. What a WONDERFUL ON-LINE GROUP we have HERE!!!! What do you do to keep yourself motivated? Keep going to the meetings, no matter how badly I know I have done. If it weren't for that 'metal monster' I would be back at my starting weight.

The extra weight is SO HARD on the body. Why I abuse it like I do, I don't know.....but I am going to make it better!!! ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I'm just so thankful that I found this board......and all my wonderful online friends. I'm like Eleni, I tell it like it is. Do try to be tactful, but never-the-less, truthful.

USERNAME/REAL NAME: Wild Rose / Liz AGE: Just turned 51 BIRTHDAY: Feb 9, 1952 MARITAL STATUS: Married (2nd time) 6 1/2 years (first time 20 years) SPOUSE’S NAME: Vic CHILDREN/AGES: Shelley (29) Kevin (27) Trevor (25) Colin (24) (Step-son) and Kristin (21) (Step-daughter).

I have held every position except weight recorder. Presently Leader, but stepping down this March elections. What has TOPS done for you? Kept my weight in check. Support. Knowing I'm getting weighed in keeps me focused. I want to be a good example. What has this board done for you. Broadened my horizons. I learn from the postings of others. What do you do to keep yourself motivated? Motivation has been hard. I do a lot of internet surfing and printing information so I cannot say that I lack information. My mother was obese, had diabetes and passed away from a heart attack at 76, and I promised myself I would not allow that to happen to me. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Lack of exercise, partly because of a physical problem with my knees. I am pretty good about food, watching calories etc. I think if I could heal the knees and get back to walking the rest of the weight would come off. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I thought being Leader of my chapter would help, but it hasn't. Less stress might be the answer...part of the reason I am resigning as Leader. I am trying to journal, but don't do it regularly enough. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I really enjoy the 3FC boards, even though I don't always post, I do read all the entries. :) |

USERNAME/REAL NAME: Chubba/Geri AGE: 39 yrs & 364 days (yep, I’m holding on as long as possible) BIRTHDAY: 09/24/1963 MARITAL STATUS: Married 3 years SPOUSE’S NAME: Dean CHILDREN/AGES: Will 2 years, Tony 4 months HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Eating (hee, hee), Scrap booking (way behind, will catch up when the kids get older), cross-stitching, reading, walking, bicycling (recent…haven’t really gone since I was a teen) PETS: none TOP WEIGHT: 256.5 CURRENT WEIGHT: 227 GOAL WEIGHT: 175 HEIGHT: 5’ 9” EYE COLOR: Brown HAIR COLOR: Bottled medium golden brown. Started getting gray hair when I was 18. I couldn’t even tell you what my real color is anymore!! OCCUPATION: Currently the supervisor of a cash management department … soon to be unemployed because the company is closing. I’m looking at it as my opportunity to work part-time while my kids are young so I can spend some time with them. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: Wisconsin, by-da-lake-der-hey How long have you been in TOPS: 1 ˝ years Do you now or have you ever held a position in TOPS? Currently co-leader What has TOPS done for you? I need to have the weekly weigh-in to see the progress of my weight losses. It’s also the camaraderie – especially when I have gains. 4 of my dearest friends are members of the same chapter so we really support each other. What has this board done for you. First posting, but you all seem nice!! What do you do to keep yourself motivated? I have 4 other long-time friends in TOPS. We email our food journals daily which helps keep us honest. When I start coming up with too many excuses for not exercising/eating right, they have no problem telling me to knock it off and get back on track. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Keeping it off! I have lost weight through ww twice in my life. The first time, I went back to my old ways and gained it all back. The second time, I kept it off for 2 years until I got pregnant with my first son. I used my pregnancy as an excuse to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it and to quit exercising. Once I joined TOPS I lost 35 pounds. Then I got pregnant again, and just like the first time, I didn’t do what I should have done. After having Tony I weighed in 1 pound heavier than my first TOPS recorded weight. That irritated me enough to get back on track. Since then I’ve lost 12.5 pounds. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I’m hoping the third time’s the charm! It worked with smoking – I quit twice before the final time and it’s been 4 years!! ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I put my kids and husband first. I’m working hard not to feel guilty about leaving them for my weekly meetings and to go biking once a week with a friend (I’ve gone 2 weeks in a row. Mind you, I haven’t really ridden a bike much since I was a teen. We went 11 miles the first ride and 19 miles the second ride. We’ll keep it up ‘til the snow flies or it gets too cold out. :) |
