Hi....yes, I'm a participant in this little journey. My goal is also to lose as much as possible by September 1.
I've actually gotten a wee bit of a jump on some others since I spent this past week (my first week) doing battle. However, as well as I thought I was doing, I only managed to lose one pound. I know...one pound lost is better than one gained, but still I wish it had been more. If for no other reason than to give me the moral boost I need. Guess that will have to come from elsewhere. I also guess this means that I'll have to begin the dreaded "E". Exercise is NOT my favorite thing to do. By the way...my current weight is 174.8 and my BMI (Body Mass Index) is 30 - labeling me OBESE! I do NOT like that word. And I don't like BEING obese even more...so I'm breaking out the tennis shoes tonight and beginning my walking regime. A woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do.
i NEED HELP. Put me on here. I'm feeling hopeless, out of breath, fat and pudgie. I have a hard time tieing my shoes. I can't find a bra that fits. I have a job interview on Monday and a closet full of expensive clothes that do not close! I have been living in elastic band heaven for over one year. I make sandwiches and bread all the time. I'm having a love trist with mayonaise. I am addicted to it and salt/salt products. My days are spent planning dinner. I can't see or reach my feet. Spring has sprung and I have nothing to wear. Love, Peaches
ReplyDeletePeanut Gallery? You mean Peanut Butter and Jelly? Did I mention sleep apnea and excessive drooling at night?
ReplyDeleteThe more I think about and describe the symptoms of my weight gain, the more I am seriously considering going off Crestor. It's 4AM and I've been reading support group comments about this drug. While most of them are discussing muscle and joint pain, many are attributing increased weight specifically to the mid section. Also dry mouth, vivid and strange dreams (that's me) strange taste in the mouth, exhaustion, grumpiness, difficulty focusing, shortness of breath (I have this) and on and on and on... I need this like I need a Pizza. Ms. Carb is on Crestor too, and I'm wondering if we should compare notes more carefully. I'm going off the stuff as of right now. Lady Carb? Any comments on this?
ReplyDeletePeaches, calm down. It'll be ok! All you have to do is read your email... I need to talk you down from thoughts of pizza and pb&j, I see! Tomorrow is another day!
ReplyDeleteKeep going....sounds like you're off to a steady start. I think with weight loss slow and steady wins the race...although we all want fast and instant.
