Re: Stalling Buddies

I never knew about the yeast test hmmmmm...u learn somethin new everyday.
Well I'm not giving up I started looking through my work out tapes and found my Joyce Vedral she's pretty good I have a lot of hers but I get bored easy,I also have my Billy Banks taebo 8 minute workout so if I combine them then treadmill it maybe I'll see some kind of result.You'd think with all the steps I put in I'd see something but my body is so used to it,it's normal for me to put in 13-17,000 a day..what the heck do I have to do though geezzz!!! I think I'll go try my ab machine thingy I bought last summer..does praying help the abs..lol...

Mel...I'm the same way with the weekend eating, I could care less about food. All I want is my coffee, light and 1 splenda and I'm cool!!!

Let me know how the abs machine works... gotta do something with these rolls. I also need to find some type of aerobic work out tape that I might like... problem with alot of them is funny enough I hate the music and it demotivates me from wanting to listen to them tell me what to do. Maybe after learning the exercises I can just watch and listen to my ipod.

Re: Stalling Buddies

So much for getting rid of water weight. DBF wanted me to make him some milk-chocolate peanut butter easter eggs yesterday. My self control went out the window when they were done. I didn't binge myself sick, but I'm still disappointed in myself. I have that enough-is-enough feeling. I think that I'll be able to stay strong now. I'm getting in that phase where I realize that the carbage isn't as good as I think its going to be and theres no sense in eating it. That I want to be thin more than I want to eat junk. The funny thing was right before he asked me to make them, I was craving my dinner salad. Ah well, we live and learn...time to do it right! Hope you guys are doing well!

Re: Stalling Buddies

Good Morning guys..

Beanpole: Just put the peanut butter chocolate eggs behind you. YOu can do it! You are a very committed person. I know you will get right back on track.

Fatbottomgirl: I tried the "spit test" this morning and it was fine. I think your right about it being water weight. All the salty food I have been eating.

I am still feeling yucky today but not as tired. I have to exercise today.. Getting myself to do it is like pulling teeth.

I hope everyone has a great day.. Talk to you guys later.

Re: Stalling Buddies

I understand about the exercise Mimom -- I had to really, really force myself into starting.. funny enough now I start feeling kinda bad when I don't do it Just pace yourself and switch your routines up so they don't become boring to you... You will find out that you actually feel better and are more active because of exercising and trust me its one of the best stress relievers I have found.

Re: Stalling Buddies

Hey rumor has it there is an AB's challenge posted for April If anyone is interested (wink: wink

Ate 2 sausages that hubby bought from HEB yesterday that were filled with cheese and jalepenos.

Lunch was terrayki steak with grilled veggies (NO rice)

Dinner will be Steak and salad

Tried a new exercise routine from the Exercise on Demand Channel -- problem is most of these programs are assuming you already exercise and are in reasonable shape ((Which leaves me out)) what I need is a really good BEGINNER program.. so if ya'll know of one let me know PLEASE!

Hope everyone had a good day

Re: Stalling Buddies

Ate too much food yesterday. I had extra chicken and lettuce and everything. I've been majorly stressed out. DBF lost his job yesterday and with my house payment and bills, I can't afford the internet. If he doesn't find work again soon then the best course of action will to be to have the cable and internet turned off. I can't pay his bills and mine too. Its just the support that I get here is so very helpful and inspiring. Its nice to have people in the same boat as I am that can relate and help. Nobody around me understands. They're on an all-you-can-eat diet and makes things hard on me. None of them thinks that I should 'diet' and the support isn't awesome although they try sometimes to support me. I know I'm just whining around and rambling. Things could be worse and I do have bigger things to worry about. I just like my ADBB and the people in it! Hope you guys are doing wonderful and staying on track! I need to really get a grip!

Re: Stalling Buddies

Hey Beanpole.. I feel your pain. Life (living) is hard right now. Eventually, Things will fall back into place where they should be. I am going to call the cable company today and see what I can do to lower my bill. Call the company before canceling and see if they can work out a cheaper plan. ABout the "All you can eat diet" welcome to my world. My husband and family can eat whatever they want and not gain one pound. My husband doesn't support this WOE at all and it is hard on me. Therefore, I come here to be with people that do. (he says it makes me crazy) Even if things come down to it and you have to cancel the internet, Always know that we are here for you. If you want we can become pen-pals.. LOL I wish you the best of luck with everything and if you ever need to vent I am here to listen. Take care and keep in touch.

Aww.. BeanPole - I'm sorry... I really hope DBF finds a job soon so you can stay online with us. I for one really appreciate your posts ~ and would miss you terribly! I totally understand that this is your only TRUE support system (is for me as well)... I was having panic attack this morning as I couldn't access website and I need to do it couple of times a day - it helps me stay on track.

Even though you ate alot - the good news is you ate healthy and not off plan so I am sure its not going to affect you.

I will keep you and DBF in my prayer and crossing my fingers and toes that he gets new job in next couple of days!

Re: Stalling Buddies

I'll say a prayer also Beanpole...I guess the recession there talking about really is starting to hit.I don't know what I'd do either,I just found the board a few months back and after living Atkins and being criticized by everyone for years I'm at the point I never bring it up.My hubby lost 30 pounds a few years back following Atkins so he really is the only one that understands,he doesn't follow it as close as I do as he likes his few beers on the weekend.. I understand completely how you feel.You know just a kind word some inspiration goes a long way.I look forward to coming online and reading everyones progress or an atta girl /atta boy..makes you feel good.. I have closer friends I've met on line than I have in my personal life.I don't know if thats sad or I'm just a weirdo...I'm just starting to hopefully make some friends here, give a good shove ( I mean a push in the right direction) when someone needs it..lol..just a little humor sorry...
I love it here I hope you'll all be around for a long time !!

Funny you said that... cause I am the exact same way!

I feel like each and every one of you understands my frustration and irritation with not being happy with how I currently look.. which in my "real" life I can't say the same thing. I have friends and wonderful hubby but they just don't really get it... Most of them are pretty skinny and have great metabolism's.

At work I have a couple of friends that I hang out with on occasion, most are just acquantances as I am not there to make friends - I am there to do my job...

But HERE I receive wonderful support and encouragment... I don't know if I would have continued without such a FANTASTIC support group and more importantly FRIENDS I have made online with ya'll Actually, I am positive I would have given up this time as scales and inches aren't moving like they did the first time, especially since I am really exercising for the first time in my life. Because of you I just push myself a little further and keep on trying.. I know I will break this pause eventually ~ but its nice to have each of you on this journey with me ((though I wish the WOOSHIE Fairy would visit each us NOW!!))

So... I am doing the 6 week exercise challenge and have completed the first 5 weeks... I decided (I will say in advance WRONG decision on my part ) to see how I was doing inch wise as I know the scale ain't moving and TOM stopped by for his 8-9 day visit....

I will tell you right now, if it wasn't for this forum -- I would have just said "Scr w" It! right then and there.. not only have I not lost inches I think I may have gained one ...

Now its possible since TOM is here that I am retaining water (which I pray is the case) and hopefully by April 5th - I will see a difference ~ for one of the first times in my life I didn't let depression get the better of me and upped my exercise routine a little more with new DVD workout... I know I have probably gained an inch or so in my arms - but thats definetely because I am building muscle.. but my tummy and FatBottom can certainely survive losing a few inches (OKAY ALOT of inches) and even if I am building muscle shouldn't some of the fat disappear as well?? Which is why I decided in introduce more cardio into my workout... maybe I am just building the muscle without enough cardio/fat burning going on.. So I will again join the next 6 week challenge - mark my progress on a calender and consider this first one a learning experience.

Sorry for the bad spelling and rambling... Better say 'night and check on youngin as she has friend spending the night and I can hear alot of pounding going on upstairs May the Wooshie Fairy work her magic on each of you this rainy (in San Antonio) night

Re: Stalling Buddies

Ya know.. Only being on here a few weeks I feel the same way. (Fatbottomgirl) The support and kindness on this board is so wonderful. It is hard to deal with people that are negative toward this WOE and tell you that you can't do it.

Just last night my sister in law looked at me and said.."Ha.. 20 pounds you want to lose.. Yeah right.. You can't do it." I wanted to get up and slap her. But I kept my cool and thought to myself.. I'll show you!

I thank each and everyone of you for being there for me. Thank you for your encouraging words and strength (I feel it through the computer)


XOXOXOXO to all of my beautiful new friendships..

Nichole (Mi Mom)

Re: Stalling Buddies

Mornin...

Nichole...I think you need to stay away from your sister in law..LOL...One thing going for me is I don't have anyone in my life I hang around with to be negative..bowing head I know...(pitiful or sad) theres a few people at work I'll sit with at lunch break for coffee I would no way in **** eat in front of her..she used to pick the crap out of me..so I sip my decaf with sugar free french vanilla creamora and 1 splenda...lol..
Last night I went to J.C. Penny's cause I had to buy a few pairs of pants.No they weren't smaller,I resisted for as long as I could but I had to get a womens size 8. I've worn junior size pants size 6-7 for years and the last year the pile I could wear has gotten smaller and smaller.The more determined I get the more I've gained,I can't figure it out.So I'm stuck at 151 almost 152 and movin up instead of down

Re: Stalling Buddies

Thanks Char.. Thank goodness she was just in town for the day. When I worked at the hospital I had a co-worker that use to do the same thing. Some people are just RUDE! If we all continue to support each other then who cares what others say. ADBB friends for life (LOL) Have a great day!

[mimom48183]

Re: Stalling Buddies

oh yeah.. Size 8 woman's.. "LUCKY" (Napoleon Dynamite) I am just squeezing into a 10. All my juniors size's are in a pile in the closet.. I will get back into them some day, As of now.. I can barely put one thigh in them. It just encourages me more to work out.
