Before After

Update to all you guys on the crazy doc and where did 192lbs go.

To my EP friends and all you that  left me  feedback regarding my  my post of 192lbs gone.
 
 
Yes I do have a great doc and he is very caring but no bed side manner. I kind of lik that I am Irish and if your Irish you know how we like it just what te hell is on your mind.
 
So a few things I left out ,forgot what can I say. Yes I took PHEN for  a little over 6 months and had no problem stoping. Here is the crazy shit ok guys. Right before I started my life change i was in the hospital 5 times in a year could not breath, had a stroke and so fat they had to weigh me on a special bed. I ust thought it was nice that I didn't have to  move or walk.
 
Ok back to my story after all my health problems my health insurance would not pay for me to have gastro to lose weight the chance of me dying was far to great who the hell are they kidding I was dying a slow terrible death with no chance to live.  So I guess they kind of thought well we will pay another couple of years of med bills then when she dies we throw her file in the trash. Well guess what guys I am here and feeling great. I even sent the insurance board  pictures of me before and after. Got a letter saying glad e could help. Who the hell are they kidding. ALL to much I had to leave that alone.
 
 
Now for a few things I left out..... PER my doc he saw the post said spelling was teribble but that I did say the hard truth and he said they wont like you. I said I dont care if they dont like me If I can save one of them form going through what I went through or if someone is just starting out and they think there is no hope then I want them to know there is.
 
He told me to update on my replys. So far he is wrong all you guys were very sweet and I think oyu guys saw some of what I had to say to be true. We dont like but it is  true.
 
So with that said and not mentioning any nanes"SMILE" I see way to many cute puppies and get real on your goal weight is that yours or what your doc says you need to be at.........PS my doc told me to change mine so right after  this I am going to. He said it was a very good goal but not safe goal for my height and age he told me to take another 45 off . What that's like 75 more lbs I said.   He said great now you have something to do with your extra time. He really is funny and half Irish he also said Deb if you get any of these people to listen or talk very open and not sugar coat things he said I should start a group .I said I tried  the clothing one. He said he had no idea why nobody want to trade or sell there clothes. Then he said yes i do and why he said do you really want to know Deb I said yes he said because non of us wanted to go through or clothes to depressing and nobody wanted to mail it and do extra work phyical work. SORRY guys I was laughing so hard he is right because that was how I was feeling when I start the store that never went any where....
 
 He also said deb who wants to leave an message that says i  like to know if I have a size 34 shit I have alot of new stuff in that size and he said they wont ask you because they cant even put real pics up to say this is who I am now and just wait and see me in a few months. SO>>> back to you guys after I was done talking to him and I looked you all up and lets just say this is not a flower shop or a puppie mill. So people you said you like what I wrote and it has really got you ready to push harder GREAT but you got to be honest put your pic up and dont hide  yourselfs we are all beautiful an we will ALL get better looking and healthy together..... We can be a strong team put down the diet sodas there worse then regular and o that  VITEAMAN water get the hell out of here look at whats in that.... Sure if your running 4 miles great have one....  WE are addicts to food all food......... Sorry guys but that is our drug of choice...
 
 The things I left out maybe I just didnt want to write it not sure will think on that one and get back to you...  When my doc gave me all that stuff he also said deb i am having something delivered to oyur house you should get in a few days I said what is it and he said the TRUTH' How do you deliver the truth I will tell you in huge like 30 times the size of  a poster that my FAT ASS in that pic on that board and my god was it huge... After I got it And call the doc and said what should I do woth this he said put right in your room on the floor so you can see as soon as you get out of bed... I said it wont fit in my room he said DEB you dont fit..... He has jokes for days or the truth then I thought it was funny but I look at tha poster every day for 7 months and when I saw it I said hell no I am not leeting you back in my life and I had a better day really almost everyday since I statred,  Here is MY LIST of what I did it worked for me and I have no idea if it will work for you so please check with your DOC if you have questions .
 
 
1 .Went to bed every night at 10.30pm........  set an alarm at 9pm as reminder that no matter what your goin gto bed soon. If the kids are still up guess what they wont die going to bed in there clothes. You moms need totell them that this is important and you need to do this and WHEN you finish how much more fun will you be able to have with the kids.
 
 
 
2.Up at 6am..... YES even on the weekends your body has no idea it the weekend and if your saying she is crazy its the only time I get to sleep then PLEASE do not read any more.....
 
 
3. i EAT kashi FIBER  cereal everyday with  straw berries or blue berries and fat free mile and water.... Yes it taste like coardborad but it gets me moving in every way possible.......'GET backt to that at the end if I remember'
 
 
4 Working out.... Now that is going to be different everyone if your my size when I started ROLLING out of bed was work of course you can't do as much but you can do something.I started in the pool 5 times a week. for 45 mins and I  ran 100 times back and forth from one end to the other and yes i look weird doing but guess what every month less people saw me if you know what I mean.
 
 
5. i only weigh once a week on the same day and around the same time. He helps me because nobody should weigh  every day if your doing right  then no need.
 
 
 
6. The car.... I always park in the front in handycap or as close as I could get well my good old doc said Deb start off parking your car the lenght of your name or more. I was thinking does he mean Deborah Sue or Debbie I did have to ask he was laughing he sad start with Deb I was like great. Then he said each week move 2 spaces down or so and I did and still do. .... After about a month he said now when you go shopping for anything you bring one bag at a time to the car.... Before I could say one word he said I dont care if that whole Irish family is shopping YOU bring every bag to the car.... LETS say the family shopping was SOLO for a while now Ilove towalk back and forth it give me time to think.
 
 
7.Cooking not so much we  are addicts and if we cook we cheat.... So he made me buy the grilled chicken already cooked one where the chicken is in the boxes one box gives you 3 meals OK. then Buy frozen veggie plain in personal size bags meaning one serving at a time but have 2 that fine and where the fresh veggies are there is fresh SALSA in a pint size container .  SO..in a a paper bowl or what ever put 1part of the box of chicken and put veggies in and salsa and a little fat free ranch and like a cup of freah fruit or how ever much you want cant have to many of those I say. Its taste great and my neice and nephews love it.... Lunch  weat bread mustard and turkey and all the veggies you want on top and water... have a yougart and fruit and a slice of cheese just change it up..... I think oyu got the idea...
 
You must eat this before 7pm so set your clocks for 5pm and 6pm no matter what your doing you will stop and eat...... No fast food for any reason not even to get water the temption is to great go to the gas station.... If you dont eat by then you lose you can a bowl of fresh fruit up till 9pm then nothing.....
 
 
NO sweets not even sugar free act like you will die if you have a anything sweet for some of us this is true.....
 
Put up the worst pic of you on EP yes the really fat one I will put mine back up so look out for it ok guys... Dont say what if someI know seeme guess what they no how big you are and there on the site for the same thing,,,,,
 
 
journal everyday in the am for the day before........
 
 
No eating in your room at all...........
 
You walk the dog not the kids............
 
Stop asking starting to day for qnyone to get you anything if you need that bad get your ass moving it true guys and my family was great I was terrrible at this one they use to get me everything..... Not now I get for them..
 
 
You knws those clothes you have in a box or closet that you grew out of but you are sure you are going to get back in them because your husband or wife loved you in it..... Give them away.......Your reward for getting back in  that size is not to go backwards in life get new stuff you love it trust me I know what I am talking about.......
 
 
If your partner is over weight as well and you are on this big hi  to do this and you are getting the whole family in on it give it a rest they will do it when there ready...leave them alone no place for you to judge.......
 
 
 
You walk and get the mail every day dont drive down be real........
 
 
only water and lipton diet ice tea...... nothing eles no not even the coffe that one big thing as soon as you give that up and soda you are almost home.......
 
 
every week take a pic of yourself and pin it in the closet..... you will start to see the change and its a every day reminder that you still are on your journey......
 
 
I do the WII FIT  5 times a week now and I love it.............. well I hate the hool hop so if you are going to use this I give you guys a pass on that one for get it...
but every day i must make a new personal best on some thing before i can stop so get moving.......
 
 
during the day eat friut and fruit and Hummis never liked that but great for you and the KASHI crackers you get 18 of them in one sitting and they taste good.
 
 
 
Thats my big plan on how I lost the weight I did..... if I remember anything eles I will repost..... I did forget the most important thing on the inside of your front door you make a big poster that say the follwing thing and read as often as you but always when you leave the house.
 
 
: NOTHING  TASTE  AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS''   It really is true everyone...
 
 
 
FINAL NOTES>>>>>>  If you wrote before on the last post and your reading this and you are the 1st 2 people who message me and you change your pic and  goal weight and are willing to help me start up a group yes more work but better then eating  i will pay for 3 months of gold membership for those 2 people who will help me and I will help you. And if we 3 people have gold memberships then we can  put up differnt members of the group that has lost  weight and doin git right. SORRY  guys i am tired of seeing those same people up there they have not changed in 9 months and are they still losing and does they say nobody eles is I think we should all cantact them say thanks  for the people you have up we love them but maybe change it ever month or 4.....
 
One very last thing  do you remember me saying  that I thought my neghbor thinks i am a hooker well yesterday I  just had to go over and say hello not sure if from reading my post guys you can see I like to talk and I am irish well off I went and we had a nice talk and I told them I was not DYING.... LMAO they thought we the weight lose I was dyin gof something. Ok  i was way off on that one. turns out they are really nice ......
 
 
Bye guys and I am looking to start my group and the store if you guys think we should but I like all3 of us to have a say and be equal in the whole thing well maybe one thing my doc said that someone eles should write the  news and updates my spelling and typing terrible.. I would also like the group to be real in that say what is on your mind and if someone post on the group they at some cookies lets not tell them its ok.......SAy your an addict and put the damn things down call them out on it.. If we cant tell each other the truth who are we going to tell....     TODAY WILL BE  BETTER THEN  YESRTERDAY AND TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER THEN TODAY. CANT WAIT FOR TOMORROW.....

Another wonderful blog.
 
I already had honest photos and weight posted - but I have altered my avatar as it was a flattering photo of only part of my face!
 
I am terrible at being part of groups though.  I wish you every luck with forming yours, I have found your blogs really inspiring and I need to go and have a big long look at myself and my lack of effort towards my weight loss.
 
Thanks again.

.

OK.  Thanks for writing this all out, Deb!   They outed me OMG - LOL - I was on fire last night and put a link in a post to your site.  I love EP, like I said, I really do, but I really want people (and me) to quit F'ing around with this and get serious and healthy.  If you make a group, let me know and I'll check it out.
 
I've been doing "this" for 4.5 years and lost 55 lbs, but I wasted last year (IMHO) and am not going to waste this year too, so I am glad I asked you what you are doing.
 
I really think I am doing ok with *most* of your list LOL!!
 
1 . Bedtime - always decent, because I have to get up for work early.
 
2. Wake -uptime - good here, even on weekends usually because I go to the gym on Saturdays.  Sunday, I need to change this as this is a day I allow myself to sleep late LOL.  So.  Next Sunday, I'll set my alarm for early.
 
3. Kashi FIBER  cereal everyday  - going on my list for next trip to the grocery store
 
4. Working out.... I really think I am *ok* here, but I can be better.  Meaning, I typically do in the 30-60 range daily, most taking off 1 day a week.  I need to look at this again and be sure I am doing *enough*
 
5. Only weigh once a week on the same day and around the same time - this is one thing I need to change.  Yep, I have been looking daily.
 
6. The car.... not a problem, I usually park out a ways in the parking lot.
 
7. Cooking - I need to look at this - I do ok some days, not so ok other days
 
* You must eat this before 7pm - need to watch this too, sometimes I have been known to let myself go to 8 p.m. (or later from time to time - no no!)
 
* No fast food for any reason - this is going to be the death of me!  I always say it is ok to do once or twice a week and "make healthy choices"
 
* If you dont eat by 7 p.m., then you lose you can a bowl of fresh fruit up till 9pm then nothing - good point - I will remember this only fruit (or veggie) between 7-9 p.m.
 
* NO sweets not even sugar free act like you will die if you have anything sweet
 
* Put up the worst pic of you on EP yes the really fat one - mine is my heaviest really bad pic
 
* Journal everyday in the am for the day before - I saw this comment yesterday - making a nice journal on the shopping list
 
* No eating in your room at all - good one!  I am bad about having popcorn in my bed watching a movie - note to self:  you know you can't eat in the car, don't eat in bed either
 
* Stop asking starting to day for qnyone to get you anything if you need that bad get your ass moving - I'd say 95% of the time I do things myself.  Come on, I have teenage boys - they don't do anything they don't have to LOL!!
 
* Get rid of clothes you plan to shrink into - not a problem, I have nothing too small that I am hoping to shrink into except for two "goal items" I bought to shrink into LOL!!
 
* If your partner is over weight as well give it a rest they will do it when there ready...leave them alone no place for you to judge - not an issue - my BF lives in CA (I am in WA) and I always know he will do it when he is ready to
 
* ONLY water and lipton diet ice tea...... nothing else not even the coffee, that one and soda - check - I really only have a diet soda or coffee once or twice a week, it's not a daily thing, so this won't be hard to give up
 
* Every week take a pic of yourself and pin it in the closet - no can do, until I can afford to buy a camera - I have hunny take pics of me every 2-3 months when I see him though and he emails me my inspiration pics.  Well, wait a minute, I could have a co-worker take one and email it to me, but I know they are not a good size for posting on EP.  I'll have to think about this.
 
* During the day eat fruit and veggies and hummis and the Kashi crackers - fruits and veggies, check.  Hummis and crackers, going on the list
 
"NOTHING  TASTE  AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS'' - I'll make a sign

EP Pics

You are absolutely right about the pictures.  I've chosen pics that make me look half-way decent. But the one in front of the Alamo and the one with my son when he came back from Iraq show my true belly.  I don't know if it's because I'm Italian, but I'm quite endowed have a round belly.  The last time I was this weight, I was 9 months pregnant, and that was 24 years ago, so I can blame it on baby fat anymore...lol
 
Keep me posted on what type of group you're going to start.  I want to join. 
 
Thanks - Rosie

yes

I'd like to start a group with you. I don't know how...but I'd like to help any way that I can. I'm a teacher, so I could probably give you some help in the spelling and grammar department... :)

hey girl

Deb, your a crazy B*tch and I love you..lol
 
Sorry it took me so long to read your amazing posts! I would love to help you with your group.. but why do we have to be gold members? You could start a group and then make a few moderators if you want to do it that way.. it's a possiblitly.. hey.. it's your group.. you can run it the way you want girly.. go get 'em..lol :-) I would love to do that!
 
The only thing is Deb.. I think we kinda disagree on a few things about weight loss. I personally think it's ok to have a cookie. Everything is ok in moderation....that is...if you can handle it, if not.. then don't even go near it. Also, everyone is human.. if you mess up and eat like 5 or 6 cookies.. yeah that was bad and that sucks for you.. but.. it's ok, whats done is done and get back on the wagon and don't beat yourself up about it because your gonna do something about it. I'm not gonna get on someones case for having a bad day.. we all have bad days once and awhile. As long as you don't dwell on it and pick yourself right back up where you left off.. all is not lost!
 
But I do agree on most things for sure! Sometimes I think maybe some of us need to hear the truth but are too afraid to hear it.. so.. I guess that is something that we or you would have to put in your mission statement..lol... that you aren't gonna bullsh*t anyone..lol.. thats awesome.. I love it..LOL!
 
Yeah.. fast food is a bad idea.. but honeslty, if you know what to get there are healthy choices in those places. Apple dippers are low in cals.. so are the salads if you don't use the full fat dressing..and dont get the breaded chicken.. bring your own dressing.. I do..LOL! But everything else.. absolutly not... way gross.. and way too bad for you. Ever watch supersize me.. that is so crazy... it's sick to see how bad that sh*t really is for you!
 
I like the idea about bringing in one bag at a time.. I am gonna try that next time for sure.. I have been really lacking in the fitness aspect of my healthy lifestlye for sure. I need to get on it! I will put my really fat pic on here.. I was gonna do it sooner, but I was waiting until I took my -30lbs pic so I could compair.. I am gonna take my new pics this weekend and I will put them both up! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas and a*s kicking deb! Your the best.. and your doc is wrong.. we LOVE YOU!

:-)

oh.. and btw... my goal weight is way high.. and i know you were talking about me when you said something about the high goal weights..lol..but thats just one of my mini goals.. for me it doesn't seem so far away if I break it up into secions..lol.. hey.. to each their own right..lol. But i will change it for a bit...lol! love ya girl!

so inspiring and realistic

I skimmed a few of your posts, and you are so realistic and motivated.  I am going to add you as a friend so that I can keep up on your results. You have the best blog on here that I've seen.
Good job on such a loss!

yay for you

i am proud of you and the progree you have made. why did u stop blogging?
