Hello, my name is Scarlet and I fell off the weight loss wagon.
However, I have climbed back aboard!
I’ve lost 2 1/2 pounds in the last 3 weeks. I have begun walking during my lunch break at work and recently did a cleanse and have started a fiber supplement so I don’t feel so dang hungry all the time even when I am really not, it’s stress!
What about the rest of you?
-
okay i’ve been avoiding this thread. not only have i fell off the wagon but the wagon is no longer insight
wow there are some inspirational weight losses here tho… congrats to you who have had success!
*runs to catch upto wagon*
my new job will be a drastic switch in routine… in other words a perfect time to get back at the weight loss thing! and since i have 2 weddings coming up in august it’s none too soon! never mind my current weight or the numbers i want to loose… success for me right now would be to fit back into some of my office clothes. i hate the thought of spending money on new clothes that i desperately need when i’m so over-weight. it’s like accepting that i’ll stay at this weight. *sigh* but it’s better than not having anything nice to wear so off i go to find a couple of suitable outfits.

I congratulate those of you who are having success! Kudos to you!
Me? I don’t need to get on the scale, I can tell I’m carrying the weight loss wagon in my caboose! >_<
I am stuck at 135, on a 5’4″ frame that is too much. (And the only thing I think I’ve lost lately is an inch in height. My back is constantly killing me.) I am very small boned and can’t handle being over about 110. It’s uncomfortable. And it seems so short a distance to go, but my body isn’t cooperating.
I thought a major part of my problem is that I have medications that tend to keep one a little portly, but I’ve dropped all but one of them. Still no change in two months.
I have tried to move more and eat less and usually in summer I can scale down a bit, but not this year.
It’s very frustrating. Although I take some comfort in knowing that if I ever go for reconstruction from my mastectomy, I have plenty of spare tubing to shift north if I so choose…lolz! xD -
Hi Cadbury!
I went to my local health food store and I bought a package one, I used the “Garden of Life” Perfect Cleanse. Basically it is a three step process and this one is nice because you do not have any interruptions during the day time and take all three throughout your evening at home. Be careful with them, especially the herbal blend ones as most contain goldenseal and that is something a lot of people are allergic to. I’ve also used the Natures Way Daily Cleanse as well. Be careful with the fiber, a sudden increase can cause gas & bloating. Anyone in your health food store can help you decide which one may be best for you. I find that they really work for me and I do it once or twice a year. Most are based off of the concept of purifying and cleansing the blood, then detoxifying the liver and kidneys and then elminating those wastes and scrubbing your colon clean with fiber through elimination. I’ve then followed up with a probiotic that I am currently taking. If you have any medical conditions or medications that you are taking, be sure to check with your Dr. for any adverse effects or drug interactions. There are also juice fasts too but I’m not into that radical of a way to cleanse.
I would be more than happy to answer any more questions you might have.

Yay for all the weight drops! Stay motivated, everyone, that is key!!!!
When I started working out, I thought I could just eat the way I always had (lots of food, all the time), but after a month or so I decided that watching what I eat would be beneficial. I use the website http://www.dailyplate.com to track my calories. You can set up how much weight you want to lose per week and it tells you how many calories you can eat per day based on your weight/height. Its wonderful and it really helps me to stay focused and not cheat!!!! So its not really dieting, its just cutting back portions and eating healthier! Another good website out there is http://www.sparkpeople.com. I don’t really have someone to work out w/, so this way I feel like I’m not going it alone.
And like I mentioned, I walk to work. WALK EVERYWHERE YOU CAN. Its such a great workout and you don’t even realize that you are working out!!!
I too have a wedding in August, I’m the maid of honor and my dress is at least 4 sizes too big
Keep up the great work everyone!

Just thought I’d poke my nose in here … some skinny tips from a skinny chick …
Take the stairs instead of the lift/elevator
Eat 5-6 small meals a day
Drink plenty of water
Cut down on alcohol
Cut out fatty foods including pastries
Get your five veggies and two fruits a day - not too many carbs (potato (sweet potato is best), rice, pasta)
Moderate exercise daily . don’t have to kill yourself!
I know, Ladies you probably know all this … you can bash me now! LOL.
-
Oh, no, no, no Dawn – Skinny Chicks are not allowed!
And what?! Cut down on the Alcohol?
Those are great tips, thank you. I also like the idea of more frequent smaller meals, as the larger ones end up making me feel tired, and I get famished inbetween. It is hard to find the time to eat more often, but I think, for me, that will keep me from getting to the point of being “too hungry” and just grabbing at the most convenient thing.
For me what has really begun to make a huge difference and is helping me the most iis to have a work-out partner. (My friend/neighbor) We joined a gym, and so far we haven’t let each other down. We like the same activities as far as working out and that makes a big difference. I know that if it wasn’t for her, I would have bailed out on working out so many times already. It always seems to work out that if one isn’t feeling it, the other is, and we can get each other motivated.

so after falling off the wagon on holiday i too am back on, i am trying to cut down on all my carbs as i eat bread and more bread all day long lol i have 2 slices for the morning 3 for sandwiches at lunch and all the rest which i pretend i dont have between meals
so now im trying to have more fruit for breakfast etc. so i will keep you posted, the first week is always a big loss week so hopefully i will loose the 4lbs i put on while i was away! -
Dawn – The first knee surgery where the surgeon just tried to fuse the ligaments together didn’t work. I tore it slightly when I went mountain biking barely doing anything, and then I completely ripped it apart skiing. The second operation gave me a whole new ACL ligament (from a cadaver -thank you to the person who made my knee brand new again!) Well it’s been a while since then and it’s all healed up and ready to work hard.
I have zero knee pain. But I am also going at it in a smart way this time – I have to. The second time, I was more cautious, and I didn’t jump right back into the the crazy active stuff I used to do, and well I piled on the pounds quickly. So there was no way I could get back to all the sporty stuff I used to do without killing myself. So now I’m just working hard to work all this stuff off, and then once I get fit enough, I’ll get back into sport stuff. I did feel good though at the body-scuplt class. Even in my “pudge” state, the teacher said I was strong “underneath” there.
and she said I must have been in some athletic or some type of sports activity before. That little itty bitty compliment made me feel so good. Amazing how a little thing like that can keep me motivated – motivated enough to find out what the heck REALLY IS still underneath there. Hopefully, if I keep at it, in six months I’ll know! -
I know isn’t it terrible?! Also at McDonalds its better for you to eat their icecream then it is to eat the muffins! My boyfriend thought it was being all smart eating “healthy” breakfasts there… until he looked at the nutrition chart. All those places are sooo bad… and yet that is my biggest weakness… mmm popcorn chicken hehehe

Oh thanks Samantha … let GrandMum know I’ll be over in a jiff
Rosebud – Glad you are feeling good within yourself … keep it up! The smaller meals eaten regularly don’t bloat you up so much … I am so used to grazing now … I cannot tolerate a huge lunch or dinner. I’ve done this for years. However, I need to push my weights again to bulk up a bit … so I am hoping this thread can push me along a bit as well. Its not always what we put in our mouths but how much.
