Actually, Kelly and Lisa both won make-overs in a reward challenge.

When I went to my Weight Watchers 10:00AM meeting on Saturday, my leader told us Suzy has been attending the 7:30AM Saturday meetings. She said she looks fantastic and now wears contacts.

Tater... a post upthread says
"The teaser for next week hints that someone has a heart attack and then matt is interviewed saying he is too young. Hmmmmmm Matt is a bundle of anxiety and stress. Wonder if he ends up having a panic attack? which mimics a heartattack"

Is this what you were wondering?

Also I would suggest you add some affirmations to your daily routine, believe it or not they can sometimes move things in the right direction. If you would like I could list a couple for you.

HTH!

I think Dahli is suggesting how she/he could help you with weight loss by using affirmations in your life. I think it is like positive visualizations which work.

well im religous, i love people and life, have a healthy sense of humor and purpose, still see the good in people more that any bad are evil soo rampant oout there, but no i dont do any chanting are burning candles, etc. i do do control deep breathing to open my lungs, since im plague with stomach promblems, discomfort , including always geting fevers and congestion, ashma like conditons..
so im sorry but i dont fully undersatnd her meaning of afirminations are visulations..
also i have been to 2 (paid) therapist/hynopsisist, went under got there sesion tapes, have been to several stage hypnotisit shows, have bough several audio subliminal tapes for health, exercises, happiness , etc.... but bottom line when you are disabled and feel pain 24/7 no matter what you do you will still feel pain and discomfort and the conditions cuased by it, true you can just give in and feel the most pain, etc, are do what you can ( and i think we are each different on what will work are not) to ease some of the complications , promblems... i mean lets get real you can visualize are affirm all you want that walking into a brick wall wont hurt are stop you, but reality has its own concluesion...and rwality hurts and is a strugle for me, and for many others out there

well, taterhead. I am sorry you are one of us! There are quite a few of us Chronic pain sufferers here at TVCH so be assured I understand completely!!

I was close to 100lbs overweight myself due to inability to exercise. I still am very very frustrated since I used to be quite athletic and now have difficulty walking some days. It sounds like you have tried almost everything as per diet.

I have tons of food sensitivities so was on a restrictive diet BEFORE gaining all the weight. For me it was the medications which ballooned me up.

Lately i have just lost 17 lbs. How?? I have no idea but it could be that i have changed to Organic foods including meat from farms which dont use antibiotics/ drugs on their animals. I ahve also started to use Butter (I HATE margerine and butter!! but read that the body Needs fat in order to train itself to break Down fat)

Considering i was under 10% daily fat intake for years MAYBE increasing my natural fat intake is allowing my body to burn off its own fat?? It is a different metabolic pathway than carbohydrates/ proteins. A high protein diet never has done anything for me.

I feel I should encourage you to just do mild stretching exercises. Just stepping side to side and moving the leg front then back will give you a bit of exercise. I have to hold a chair when i do the leg moves but it is surprising how you can really feel the muscles are getting a workout.

I was jsut about to go offline then thought. I often wonder if people really understand how awful it is to be in chronic pain...unable to SLEEP like me, right now. Some nights i am up all night finally dropping off in an exhausted stupor as the sun comes up.

Imagine having a little rock in your shoe and everytime you step it pokes up abit. Now imagine feeling like it is a marble and it never stops hurting even when you are laying down. That is chronic pain.

Imagine a leg cramp/spasm....that never stops.

I am tired. Going to BED again and try to sleep.

i do some balancing, strenght , streching.. like squawts using the wall, also use the wall and door, to balance do lifts (arm and leg) use the weight bench to do dips, and to use for streching the legs, and for the arms, use wrist and ankle weights for mild streching, i have a stationary bike to also do warm ups.. like you the pain. i sleep probably 8 times are more a 24 hr period, usaully catnaps, 1/2 r more per time, even druged i will still wake up hurting having to get up to releif a acute pain, unkink are stretch, so its just short catnaps each day, but hey at some sleep, heard of some who dont sleep at all.
also i have found i do better if i eat say 5 meals a day ( if i eat only 3 are say 2) i never seem to lose weight) tried many times, also if i really try to do exercise regardless of the pain, seems to cause the opisite effect, will gain,, so i do the small things i can to help.. the 5 meals a day seem to work the best, usually first meal is a grepefruit, fills me up and i like them now, and one of the meals is usuall a vegie plate, all meals are small portion, higher protein, and cutt the breads for days a t a time then it seam my body are craving kick in and i will eat some bread with a meal for a couple of days then give it back up.
maybe its just poor will power, but i have not been totaly able to kick the breads yet..
well good luck all us deiters here

breads can be replaced...for instance, Eziekiel Bread or Rye Crisps can be used instead of 'real' bread. I am bloodgroup A therefore am unable to digest 'real' bread. I am not near as bloated when I dont eat bread or yogurt.

By the way Taterhead, it is not good to stick with only one foodgroup per mini-meal. i used to eat that way and never ever lost weight. After reading about The Zone theory that our body requires a Mix of fat/protein/veg/fruit a couple of times a day. Like I said, i used to rarely have fats now I force myself to have Olive oil or Butter a couple of times a day. For the first time in my life weight seems to be coming off.

OMG! Pete looked INCREDIBLE!!!

I honestly thought they'd vote off Jeff. I was surprised when Pete left and I cried when he was saying goodbyes and then when he snuck up on his wife.

Good for him!

Scorpiomoon, Pete looked FANTASTIC! Btw, I used to always read your name as "Scorpiomom". LOL!

Pete didn't even look like the same guy. I almost lost interest in this season and they brought the personality back up. Last couple of weeks have been downers.

Doctor Jeff should take this oppurtunity and run with it. But I'm curious what they will do next week when he doesn't have a partner.

I hope Matt doesn't go next week as the preveiws suggested, again. Matt and Shannon make a great team.

wow, last night show was the best ever, and pete you go pete. if thats not enough encouragement for anyone. im glad htey went to 2 people teams, shows me the shows perducers also care about the contenstants.
i somehow wish they could turn this into a daily show, with weekly nighttime primetime show.
maybe do some locations in several spots, with groups of people... seems like alot of people would watch it, and the sponsers could get better results and maybe make america more healthy.
this is one show i welcome to watch each week, so lets all out here keep striveing to get to our goal weights.

I'd guess they'll go to teams of three or just individual competition..

My heart felt sad for the women. That kind of emotional abuse was hard to watch. I couldnt believe ALL of the men got up and left when the three ladies came back without Jen.

I'm so glad that this 'man against woman' comp is over. I was very happy that Pete won the decision making card but was pretty sure he would end up paying for it. He did.

however, I am in shock. I always thought that Pete was in his late 30s possibly early 40s. He just looked old to me. Now that he is so thin WOW!! He looks so young. I am so glad that both him and his wife have benefitted from this show. BOTH looked amazingly great!

How long ago was this show taped?? It is hard to believe that Pete is under his goal weight in 3?? months?? That would be two months in the Resort and 3 months out....but still, over a hundred pounds in five months is amazing.

Thx meggieprice. There are definitely a few of us pain sufferers here at TVCH.

Going online and posting could be considered "distraction technique" for pain relief ha ha ha

For the person that asked about the heart attack, we found out last night that Matt's UNCLE died of a heart attack. Matt was saying that he was way too young and that people should not be a "tough guy" about not going to the Dr. because they should take care of themselves and think of their families.

I'm annoyed when they run the show for 1-1/2 hours, because I watch TAR. What are they thinking?

Don't have TIVO or anything like that and taping, with our ancient VCR, is a pain. I switched to TAR after the weigh-in. Thanks to you guys, I know who left.

I think that show is so encouraging for anyone wanting to loose weight. I was surprised they voted Pete out. The doc can afford to join a gym when he goes home where the other's maybe can't.
