THE DIET THREAD #04

Well, I almost had a small victory to celebrate yesterday...but I fumbled, lol. But today its right back up and going strong!

 

Thanks, Sue. That was great. I aint givin' up!

 

Been doing good this week. I have only slipped up once in over 2 weeks, I think, and that slip wasnt enuf to make me gain, I am sure. I am frustrated, though, b/c it doesnt seem to be doing any good. Seems like I can only maintain. I gained some back a month or so ago, and I cant get it off.
I am hoping exercise will jumpstart me again, we start back Jazzercizing this week. I am going to make time to go twice a week. We havent had it since the hurricane.
Its just a booger!

 

I did have a small victory last night. Was closed up in a vahicle with lots of Dominoes pizza and had nary a slice! I took chicken salad and pork skins.

 

Wow thats great!

 

You act as if you're surprised, SBC.

 

Since this is a women's thread, I will refrain from posting here.

 

aw, come on SFIC. Get in touch with yer feminine side!!! Its a standing tradition, the menfolk are welcome here. (BTW< I STILL think we should change the name of the Forum back to what it used to be or something similar)

 

No, tatertot. I have made up my mind. I will not post in the women's thread. No amount of begging can make me change my mind.

 

I am a little surprised...a closed in space with all that pizza...that is more than a small victory!

SFIC, I admire you for showing such restraint!

I am not sure why the Diet thread is in the ladies area anyhow, I guess only ladies diet

 

I understand that it would get lost in All Other Discussions. Those threads have even my head spinning.

But I respect your right to privacy. And, as I am not, nor ever will be, a woman... I refuse to post in this thread.

 

LOL, SFIC. Glad you are able to yield to the temptation.
SBC, I can tbelieve you doubted my will power. I've been good all weekend and had ample opportunity to cheat! Someone somewhere must be prayin' for me, lol.

 

Trotter,

Good job for getting back on the diet. It is always a struggle.

I am doing pretty good recently. I had gained back about 20lbs of the 45 I lost, but I have already lost some of that and back on my way down.

It is a lifelong battle.

 

Musn't just diet! Must exercise as well!!!

T and I have started karate, him to lose weight and me just to get fit again. Been doing two or three 1 hour classes a week. Haven't lost any weight but I've gone down 2 sizes.

 

Started back with a local church doing the First Place Bible study group. I lost about 30 pounds a few years ago, but have gained about 20 of it back. I'm the kind who eats when she's stressed . . . and I'm stressed, a lot!

Anyway, my cholesteral levels came down a bunch when I lost weight and I need to have it checked again. Don't want to til I loose some of this weight. Plus, my dad's family has diabetes (he was diagnosed the other day) and high blood pressure.

My oldest daughter is doing this with me as well. She is 17 and wants to loose some weight. I hope by doing this Bible study she will learn priorities (God first) and will desire to be healthy more than having a svelte body. My SIL is has eating disorders and I do not want my daughter to end up there. She (daughter) is a beautiful, talented young woman who, I believe, loves God with all of her heart.

Anyway, that's our story.

Well, we had our weigh-in today. This contest started on May 1st, so it's been 17 days.

How am I doing? I've lost 24 pounds thus far. Unfortunately, they're going to do it by % of body weight... I'm shooting for 10%, but I might be able to surpass that.

I guess I just needed some motivation.

In Christ,
Trotter
