Webkitty | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 01:53 pm     Thanks guys, I won't give up! I can't, I have to do this now for medical reasons (other than the common sense ones) It would be nice to have some of the cosmetic results, though, know what I mean? I have gained another pound! The trainer told me to get rid of my scale, its not telling the true story, like you all said. I DO seem to be firmer, and my pants aren't as binding, just~want~to~see~some~weight~loss~too!! Stamping feet, lol I cheated last night and had popcorn again. After dinner is the worst time for me. Its SO HARD not to snack then, ugh. This isn't easy, Nancy and everyone else here, you deserve all the props you can get! |
Tess | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 12:21 am     Hang in there, Webkitty! I agree--get rid of the scale! I'm completely stalled again since I'm recovering from the bronchitis and strep. The frustrating thing is that I KNOW I'm eating right, exercising to the best of my abilities given the lung disease and muscle disorder and I AM wearing clothes 2 sizes smaller as Nancy is. It's just the numbers on the scale which are frozen in place. Frustrating the "SPAIN" outta me so I feel your pain, Webkitty. I think you're awesome though because you are perservering with the exercising and a sensible diet. It gives me the push I need to keep trying also. I just refuse to step on the scale for the next month! Nancy---CONGRATULATIONS!!!! |
Webkitty | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 06:57 pm     Thanks Tess, I hope you get rid of that strep completely. I can empathize with you, its a nasty, nasty bug! (bronchitis is no walk in the park either) I was wondering, has anyone heard that watermellon is a good food to eat for weight loss? |
Tess | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 07:04 pm     I hadn't heard that, Webkitty, but it makes sense to me since it's mostly water. |
Nancy | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 04:59 pm     down another .6 so total of 19 in 10 weeks..(dang i lost that 2 lb average! |
Nancy | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 05:00 pm     plus i'm wearing today a size large dress down from a 2x dress not that long ago :-) |
Teatime | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 05:35 pm     That's some serious inches lost there, Nancy. Congratulations! You have lost at a nice steady rate all along haven't you? Keep up the great work. |
Nancy | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 06:19 pm     thanks tea yes i have been pretty steady--i've lost at least a little bit each week--the smallest amounts .2 .4 and .6 have been during my T.O.M (humm each tom the loss has gotten a little more!) and i seem to make up for it nicely the next week so next week i might actually get to my 10% loss..i have lots to go but if i keep loosing about 8 a month by my birthday in sept i should be looking reallly good(not that i don't now its just not that many people have noticed or said anything yet anyway...) |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 06:24 pm     Way to go Nancy!! That is fantastic! Great effort on your part to keep going |
Nancy | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 06:31 pm     thanks lance! |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 07:19 pm     You go, girl! Way to go, Nancy! |
Ladybug007 | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 07:32 pm     Nancy .......how? |
Tess | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 08:05 pm     Yippeee, Nancy! |
Nancy | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 03:44 am     ladybug--weight watchers and the gym 3 days a week ;-) |
Knightpatti | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 07:14 pm     You are an inspiration Nancy! And some people will not say anything because they are jealous and wish they were losing weight! |
Webkitty | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 01:00 pm     I'm jealous! LOL! Nancy, you deserve all the praise you can get, I mean it. I've gained ANOTHER pound! My jeans are are fitting better, but I would never know it by the scale. (I haven't thrown it out yet) Very strange. Nancy, what kind of exersize program are you on? |
Willi | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 03:39 pm     <jogging in place> Way to go Nancy!
|
Nancy | Sunday, June 09, 2002 - 07:21 pm     thanks web and willi--i do a number of things--use the stationary bike at least 8 miles(20 minutes)...tread mill for 15 minutes--weight train 2 days a week--and added a resistance ball recently--elliptical machines 1 or 2 times a week-- |
Nancy | Monday, June 10, 2002 - 04:14 pm     HI!!! I lost 2.2 more lbs this week for a total of 21.2 in 11 weeks. That's my first mini-goal(10% of my original weight) yeah figure out what i weighed hehe |
Nancy | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 11:21 am     so where's all the fellow loosers that started this thread? or maybe i can be an inspiration to someone else to get loosing some weight! I have had sooo many compliments in the last 4 days(family and friends) (they think i'm close to my goal weight..ya i wish!) but with the exercise i'm doing it does re-proportion me so that i look smaller than i am |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 12:55 pm     Nancy, excellent job! I'm willing to bet the variety of excercises has played a role in your results. Hang in there and stay focused--you are doing great. |
Mssilhouette | Monday, June 17, 2002 - 09:43 am     Hi folks! I'm starting again but this time I'm on the Michael Thurmond 6 week body makeover program. This is my week 1! They have a message board on the providiacorp.com site but I thought I might post here too. (My posting same there.) In case someone else has gotten it, they'll understand this: I'm a Type B and a 2-2-2. So today is the day! Woohoo! I've just had my breakfast and downed about 32 oz of water. According to the plan I have to drink about 100 oz a day along with food of course So 1 big ole cup down 2 more to go! So I'll let everyone know it goes! |
Kaili | Monday, June 17, 2002 - 09:51 am     Good luck! |
Kaili | Monday, June 17, 2002 - 09:53 am     And keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat so if the scale doesn't go down, it may just be that you're gaining muscle! |
Mssilhouette | Monday, June 17, 2002 - 12:08 pm     Yeah webkitty don't go standing on the scale that'll disappoint you faster than anything. Muscle burns fat so you might be gaining more muscle tissue than fat. See how your clothes fit, if they're fitting better that means that your body is getting leaner changing the flab into nice muscle Err on my previous post I meant to say that my posting ID was the same on the providacorp.com board as it is here.. |
