I have read most of your blogs and I see that most of you exercise. That is the one thing that I feel that I just don't have time to do. I have a 13 year old and a very active one year old. I was watching wife swap last night and as always one of the families is accused of never spending time with their children. Then it hit me....DUH! I can do my yoga and pilates at home with my 13 year old who is dying to do yoga with me all the time. So here is the goal....we are going to do yoga at least 5 times a week until school starts. I had purchased yoga and pilates for weight loss DVDs months ago and never used them. Actually after the baby, I was going to a yoga studio just so I could have mommy time. I guess that mommy will spend her exercise time with her kids. I stil have hair and nail appointments and that is mommy time enough.....especially those wonderful pedicures and massages. I have lost 14 pounds in the first month and now it is time to get down to business. I watched a show last night about lap band surgery and found that my BMI is way to high so I signed on last night and changed my weight from what I would like it to be to what is should be for me to be healthy. I was aiming for 180 but I really should be about 150-160. I chose 160. I can't imagine these large bones at 140-150. My husband also realized that he has to come down from the 220 to 170-180. Of course being a man, all he has to do it take a deep breath and he will loose 50 pounds, then he will be complaining that he has to gain weight. MEN!!! I am definately coming back as one. So, if you guys have any fat burning recipies or work out videos that you suggest, drop me a line...I would love to try it out....I promise to stick to my diet and exercise with my daughter and get rid of at least 10 pounds a month!!!! Think thinner!!!!
I stopped taking my lasix/phentermine cocktail while I was in PR just because I didn't know where the bathrooms were. Of course the lasix makes me pee like a racehorse, but is anyone else experiencing the number 2 express on phentermine? Is it the combination? I only have this problem when I take the phentermine. Can't complain though, the weight is coming off. Even in PR I found myself not eating as much and I assume that I haven't gained any weight. Still not getting on the scale because of TOM. I will give a weight update next week. One last thought, I see that alot of you take a B suppliment. What kind of B, how much, oral or injection and do you think that it really helps in the weight loss and how? Does is speed it up or does it make is constant? Hope all is well with each and everyone of you....Think thinner
Well, last night I arrived home from my wedding in Puerto Rico. I am proud to say that on the day of my wedding, I got on the scale to see 251. I could have fainted. The photographer kept having to reminding me to pull up my dress because it kept falling a little too low. So, I put in 251 as my weight as of today because I was not about to blog while on my honeymoon then to top it off, I don't know what my weight truly is anyway because thankfully TOM was supposed to arrive last Friday....The day before the wedding and he didn't....He showed up bright and early this morning. I am not getting on the scale with TOM hanging around. So, I will have to wait a week before I can get on the scale. Puerto Rico was great but we of course could not get married with out incident. There was a surprise everyday. I will write about it all later. Think thin...Smooches to you all.
Well, I have taken my Phentermine daily and I want to kick myself. The weight is steadily comming off and if I had started earlier I would be even smaller for my wedding day. But that is ok. I am just happy for the 12 pounds that I have done. Not bad for one months work. I am leaving on Thursday and as of today, I have yet to receive my airline tickets. The travel agent got upset because we went directly to the hotel to book our rooms. Then my fiancee realized this morning that when he went to DMV to renew his license, that his birth certificate and the receipts and other important things were probably tossed in the trash when he came home and cleaned out his truck. So he is out now trying to get duplicates. I feel overwhelemed...Don't feel sorry for me because with all of this stress, I can't eat. Saving my appetite for all that Puerto Rican food. I will come back 24 pounds heavier but a happily married woman. I hope that all is well with each and every one of you. Think thinner.
I said that I would post today on how I did yesterday. Well most of the day I consumed apples and water because I didn't feel like eating. Around 4 pm I decided that I needed a healthy choice meal. I ate the lemon pepper fish. Didn't even finish the meal, threw it away and went back to my apples and water. Well, I spent the rest of my day in the bathroom. OFTEN !!!! My Fiancee, Satan, came home with a Jackson Hole Bacon Cheeseburger and onion rings for me. Satan get thee behind me. So I gave the onion rings to my daughter and stared at the burger wishing it to another universe. That didn't work so I cut it in half and devoured it like I had lost my mind. Didn't and still don't feel guilty about it. That burger was the bet thing that I have tasted in a very long time. Then back to the apples and water. Needless to say, I did not follow the instructions because the apples and water are supposed to replace dinner, not a cheeseburger, but I did loose a pound. Next time I get depressed, I will follow the rules. Good luck to you all !!!!
I know that I have read a few blogs on here where people have comented that the weight has stopped comming off and they are at a stand still or they have a few more pounds to go and they just won't go. I have suggested to each one that I have read a remedy that a weight loss patient told me about 10 years ago. She said that you should buy a bag of apples and for dinner that night you repace dinner with the apples. You eat the apples and drink water until you are stuffed and then go to bed. So actually the apples and water are dinner, dessert and midnight snack. You aren't allowed to have anything else. The next morning, you should see a difference in the scale and this should kick start your weight loss. Well, I am depressed and not up for eating and I have a bag of apples in the fridge. So I went and I got them along with a gallon of water and here I am in the bed, on the computer, blogging, eating apples and drinking water when all of a sudden the bathroom was SCREAMING my name. My goodness, I understand now why the scale goes down, the fiber in the apples really does its job and whatever the fiber doesn't send packing, the water does. Check in on me tomorrow. I promise to post my weight by the afternoon. If it works for me, maybe you can try it. But from what I remember, I did loose about 3 pounds overnight.
If I wasn't depressed before, I sure am now!!! I went to the Celebrity fit club site to see how much I should weigh. Well, I am 5'8 1/2 so I guess we can say 5'9? Tell me if I am wrong. So according to their site, I should be between 129-169. 129? I mean come on? You want me to look like a crack head? You mess around though and I just might be that small by the end of this weekend!!! I am a large framed girl. Let's be realistic. Well, I hope that everyone elses weekend is going much better than mine and that you all are thinking thinner.
I guess the next time that I log in, I will be considerably thinner since I am so depressed and I just can't eat. I need to get depressed more often..LOL. Well, I am due to leave for Puerto Rico on July 5, 2007. My wedding is on July 7, 2007. The final payment on the trip was due 2 weeks ago but I hadn't gotten my new credit card, so it was up to my fiancee to pay it off. He knew that they were going to hit his bank card and what does he do? He spends the money. Ok, a little forgetful and blond so we ow our own company and there are outstanding invoices. Called one of our cronic non bill payers and he gives us his credit card. Declined!!! He promises that he will pay as soon as his night club does its weekly close out on the books. No call back. Other customers have found multiple excuses for avoidance and both of our paychecks pay for the mortgage etc. There is no spare cash to pay for the wedding. I have since gotten my new credit card and guess what. Someone has already put charges on it...How did I find out? I went to charge the trip and I couldn't! It would make me over the limit. So the card is now frozen until investigaion in completed and the funds are hopefully returned. Of course after alot of yelling I am no also waiting for a new card with a new account number. Maybe it will come on time to go with me on the trip but as it stands, we will not even be going. My travel agent is calling and yelling because we are going to loose our deposit and that means no plane tickets or room reservations. I know this sounds childish but I am too embarassed to ask anyone for help. I mean, how do you approach someone and tell them that you need money to help pay for your wedding? That makes us look so irresponsible, like we didn't plan our money well and we did. Ok, I did and the soon to be other half needs a little work. We have come this far and now it might not even happen. I don't know what to do. I am in the bed this morning , sipping tea, crying and letting you guys know how I feel. This is the only thing that I could think of to do. I did get on the scale though... Glad that I am still going down. Haven't been faithful to the phentermine for about 2 weeks and I see the difference. I need that kick to keep the weight coming off. I laid off of the lasix cause I started cramping. So I am definately taking my multivitamins to build up my potassium levels and then I will start back in about a week or two.
I have to say, I live with the devil. My fiancee loves a thick woman, but since the baby, I have moved from thick to fat. The heavier I get, the hornier he gets. Not good being that the bigger I get the worse my self esteem gets...so in short, I am not feeling sexy right now.
So my little love muffin sees me drinking water, fat free milk, broccoli, salad, smaller portions, no desserts and what does he do? He goes to the diner and gets me fries with gravy and a reuben. Please gasp in horror when I tell you that I threw them away before the smell could permiate the house. Now of course I want to go outside in the rain and pick through the garbage but that is just not lady like.
Hope your day is going better than mine.....Keep thin thoughts!!!!
This morning I woke up starving!!! I mean stomach growling hungry which was a surprise being that I stayed up with my fiancee until 2am and had a smart ones before heading to bed. Not doing any lasix today. I feel dehydrated. Drinking a ton of water like I have been since day one. I will take my phen a little later since I have already had breakfast: Trader Joes vanilla shredded wheat and fat free milk. FYI the creal has 1 gram of fat and 5 grams of fiber. Very WW friendly. I am 257 this morning. That is great but I think that I should not loose anymore for the week. If I do 8 pounds every week, you won't be able to talk to me, I will be a hot momma!!! Started taking my vitamins last night and took them again this morning just in case I am not getting enough. How are you guys doing today?
