Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

lol why recover just imbrace it like I do. I weigh several times a day, but I only record weights I like. I can not imagine not weighing atleast once daily. I would worry myself to death. Funny part is before I started this WOL I weighed once a year at my annual check up. Doesn't matter how big the number is when you are not trying to change it.

Oh my FREAKIN' GOD!!!
I've just done some training at work with another department that I rarely see on a day to day basis and this lady I was training said at the end...

'Are you having a baby?'

HOW RUDE!!

I went bright red and said I'd put on loads of weight.

I dont know whether to laugh or cry..........

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Angel first of all I have to say Hugs to you ......... I have so been there and I know regardless of a nice face we put on it hurts when someone says something like that especially when you are working so hard and successfully losing right now .......... so big big hugs .........

I had lost 36 lbs and was down 4 sizes when a lady at my work asked me when I was due ........... I told her I wasn't and she said Oh wow it sure looks like you are I'm sorry ........... That was the day I started re-evaluating my clothes choices ..........and getting rid of things that hung on me and wearing things that fit better ......... I was mortified and to be honest it still makes me look twice before I leave the house.


Now with that said shake it off and ignore the wench!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Oh Angel, I'm so sorry you had to hear that comment! It's happened to me so many times, I know how bad it hurts!!! For me it hurts on 2 levels - one because obviously I must look "big" to them, and secondly I would LOVE to have another baby, but it would take a miracle at this point. So, it's kind of a slap in the face that way too.

Maybe we do need to look at our clothing choices like Heidi mentioned - my clothes are all awful because for me at least it's hard to take pride in your appearance when I've been so big for so long!

I wish someone could think of a snappy comeback for people that make comments like that. I can never think of a good one!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Can I still join your challenge? I am just starting adkins -- I guess I should say tomorrow will be my first day -- I had a carb-filled breakfast. I am going to Australia for Christmas and would like to lose at least 25# by that time -- more if possible.

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Sorry you had to go through that Angel, its horrible and wrong. and if it was me i would of probably smacked her round the head.

I agree with the re-evaluating your clothes choices - the fashion here at the minute with smocks n stuff is terrible for anyone with the slightest belly as they look so like maternity clothes

Phoenix of course you can join but its aTkins not adkins! come back and post and let us know how you are going!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Angle - I'm sorry that wicked lady said that to you. She had no right! But I bet she also felt like an A** for saying it...well I hope she did. When children say hurtful things it is one thing, but when grown ups do it - it is just rude!

Are your clothes baggy on you? I have been finding that is my problem as of late. I need to go shopping for a smaller size soon. I just dont want to buy more things - and then drop another or go up. I would like to be a little more stable.

Big HUGS K. & keep your chin up.

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Well I thought I would check in. When I started this challenge I was at 199.2. Now I am at 196.0 so I am down 3 pounds in 13 days. I was hoping for more loss but I haven't been exercising as much. I need to get going with that. I think seeing that it has only been 3 pounds in 13 days has just given me a kick in the butt to get going! So next week when I post again I hope to show more wieght loss....oh by the way....I had my screen name changed from micalizizds(a mouthful) to ShiningStarr! It suits me!

Till next time! Starr

[biogeek]

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Love the new name, Starr!!!! And a 3 pound loss is great! Keep up the good work and sneak in some exercise. You'll get there!

Great job, speedy!!! You're cranking right along!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Awww thanks guys......ur posts are really sweet. I really appreciate your support *hugs*

I was totally gobsmacked at the time tho!!

My work clothes aren't loose fitting so sat down, my belly does bulge. Its the last place that weight comes off on my body. I can see it coming off my lower back and bum but my tummy is the same as a month ago, maybe just not as bloated.


GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! Silly old woman!!

Rude b*tch!

That happened to me once, went I went to my dentist... I had lost about 25 pounds, and the stupid receptionist asked me when I was expecting.

My tummy is the last place that my weight is coming off, too. Hang in there, girl... you are doing a great job.
