hey there girl and welcome to the forum!!!!

I absolutly love what you have written about your life and all wow it sounds just like me so many of us here can relate but this one really hit home to me!! I always wanted to be a dancer in school because since i was 2 i was always dancing but i was to embaresed to even sign up and my granny said i was to big i was always overweight!!! So i understand the kids were always mean to me to now they are the fat ones lol!!!

Well as far as your man goes heck girl i bet he does not even notice when you love someone love is blind so if he really is saying then he really does not notice but you do that is why you have to do something and you area doing the best thing being on here!! My man girl i weighed 230 pounds all i heard was that i needed to lose some weight that was the truth but now i am so maddddddddddddddddddd
because i weigh 188 and now he says that he does not want me to lose anymore weight and they my ribs are showing well duh!! Then he says that he wants the old me back i mean what is wrong with this man i told him i can not believe that you want a fat girlfriend but at first i thought it was because he wanted to make me feel good but no the more he cries and begs please i do not want to feel anymore of your bones i guess some guys really do like big girls and i guess that is good for us big girls being that we all need love but bad when we decide to get thin!!!

Girl and you love to dance that is what i love to do so when you are at home put on your favorite music and dance dance dance and you will be thin soon and enjoying your work out i got to start back today!! Well girl good luck and i am happy to see you on here

I think you are doing awesome on your workouts! Don't forgot your food consupmtion is probably decreasing which I assume would impact your cardio level. Maybe not? I think it's an awesome idea to do your ballet DVDs. It is something you love and are good at, not to mention a really good workout. My 3 year old just started ballet and I was practicing a few steps with her and my butt got sore Hope you have a great day!

So... today I was a very very bad girl. Tiff, you know those cravings you were talking about? well I wish I was as strong as you were with those fries and buffalo sandwiches. I had a bag of cheetos, wait theres more, it was the BIG BAG not the 30cent bag! Wait! theres more... My little sis gave me a swiss roll snack and I ate that too! This is how it happend, I went in the gas station to pay for my gas and the big shiny display of every kind of delicicous deep fried potatoe and deep fried corn snack was calling my name. So I was like "I really want some cheetos....I get a small bag, that wouldnt be so bad" but when i looked, there were no small bags of anything! Its like they want america to be fat with these huge bags and portion sizes! So I say to myself,"Ill only eat half and give the rest away" So I buy them and as soon as I get in the car I start eating them on my way home. By the time I got home there were no chips left!!! Im so mad at my self! So I get home and my sis wantsto have a tea party, so I do it with her. the "tea" was milk and she had swiss rolls on the little plates. so, I ate that too. All the time thinking "Im going to hate myself for this! and didnt you just eat a big bag of greasy cheesy corn snacks(cheetos)?" So I did an extra mile today, even though I know it wont make up for it. This just means I cant have anymore slip-ups this week. I allow myself one cheat per week, that way im not so tortured on my journey. Im still on 2.8 on the treadmill. Ill do an extra 5mins on 2.9 next week and just work it up by 5mins a week until im able to do the full 30mins at 2.9.


Denvergirl, I hope your daughter falls in love with it as much as i have! Is so wonderful to start out at such a young age! And it does work your butt! not to mention everything else. If you took one class you would discover all the muscles working that you never even knew you had!

MistyC, I know exactly what youre talking about! Im worried what my BF will say when I really start losing b/c he doesnt like "little girls". It sounds like you cant win for losing! Your grannys' happy but your man isnt, but he loves you so he WILL be ok. Hopefully my guy feels like that. We shall see.


Maureen150, Im pretty sure youre not an "old fart"! lol! (i had to laugh at that one!) Thank you for your support!

Hi Shanna,

Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing your story with us, first of all let me start by saying you are on the right track, you have made the first step to decide to do something about weight, and as others have said it's not a diet or a quick fix its a lifestyle change to teach us how to be healthy and keep, eat healthy and keep the weight off and never have to go through this again!!!! I can really relate to a lot of things that you were saying espeically the part about your mom telling you that your FAT! I had other family members make comments to me about my weight and people just don't really understand how that makes you feel and it does not help it only makes you want to eat more, I know in my case it did, when i was angry,stressed, depressed or anything to that matter I would turn to food, it was like that was how i found comfort...and it really didn't matter how much anyone talked down me or asked me if i was pregnant because my muffin top was so big and hanging over my pants, I had to first get fed up with myself and decide that i was tired of being FAT... I had been overweight since the birth of my first child who is now 8 so really there was no excuse!!!!!!! Well Shanna enough of me rattling on Keep up posted on your results and oh yeah you are lucky to have your boyfriend on your side that really helps when you have someone in your corner cheering for you! Take care and keep us posted on your new journey!!!!!

Shanna, We all slip up Get back in the saddle today and don't give yourself an excuse. You can say a little prayer for me today. . .when you mentioned swiss cake rolls my mouth started watering! That and cheap frozen pizzas are my favorite weakness They remind me of my childhood. . .the only problem is I would share one with my mom and sister. Now I'll eat the whole pizza and the swiss cake rolls. I totally agree that "big business" has made our weight problems MUCH worse. It must have been a man that came up with "SUPERSIZE". I have been on just long enough that I really miss bad food. I feel like I'll have a decent weigh in on Tuesday if I can hold firm, but it is getting tough. I'll try hard today if you do, too

Hey there girl do not worry or give up we all slack sometimes i did for 3 weeks lol pizza and icecream and popcorn i promise that was all i ate i guess that was what i was missing but now i am back on track i gained like 8 pounds but i have lost it back again the important thing is not to give up try if you make a mistake live with it do not eat more bc you feel like you already messed up nobody got fat off one bag of cheetos but know how when you eat one you feel bad then you thkn that the heck let me just eat whatever i want then the next day you feel really guilty just remember to stop that and think if i eat this i will have to be on this stupid diet another day and so forth that i s how i think and i never cheat unless those 3 weeks of no pills and man being in jail lol!!! Well girl be strong and it will all work out as long as you try and know that food is the biggest addiction on the planet and we use it to self medicate just as junkies use drugs to cover up pain and hide behind their fears that is why we have to find new ways to deal with our lives issues not by eating. Going on a diet is not just about losing weight i mean you have to change your whole psychological thinking and state of mind that is why we fail and then we lose and then we gain it back because we do not work on the mental part well sorry dr.phil is leaving now lol have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
