Still Making progress, but it's going a little too slow for me. I have lost track somewhere within the past couple of months....not really doing everything bad, but catching myself in binging moments that before would have sent me in this guilty downward spiral. And much to my surprise and worry it was almost as if I just shrugged my shoulders and let it go.

I thought about this for a good long while one night, and realized that I think it's because I don't have enough support backing me up here at home. My fiance' claims he doesn't care how much I weigh(don't get me wrong, that's great that he feels that way...but I want someone asking me how I'm doing on my diet, and not always trying to shove pizza or cookies n cream Ice cream in my face. no one else around me cares....so there for sometimes I get in my head that I don't care....UNTILL I have those moments where I sit and sulk because the girl on tv is like a size 2 and here I am a 14. I can't stand to wear shorts.......and when I look in the mirror, I feel Like I am stairing at a whale.

I am still doing tae bo, just moved up to advanced, but haven't gotten to do it as offten as needed....and working at the bakery I think is finally getting the best of me, granted I DON'T eat donuts, but there are a few other sweets choices that I find myself picking at every so often.

So hopefully what I can get once again from this website is support.....someone to actuallyl be there pushing me and backing me up and cheering me on, because I realized that's the kind of person I am and that is what will keep me motivated.......so get ready you all and do some major ass kicking.....help me go from 177 to 130 PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :)

Thank you
Becca

Wow, didn't realize yet again how long it has been since I've posted on here.....I am now at 167, not bad I suppose, but I have run into yet again another binging moment.....the past week has been horrible. Working at a bakery doesn't help me, I'm in the process of finding another job.....being around cookies and cake when these moments hit does not help any.
Anyone have any good advice for tonining, I need to tone my thighs and my butt. I've been doing tae bo, and walking, but not sure if that is good enough.....any advice is helpful
thanks
Me

I am in awe of you!
Maybe if you can teach me, what to do,
you can get more excited about your path again!

Wow, big huge congratulations on your loss!
I admire your accomplishment so much.

I want to do tae bo too!!!

Anyway, I don't have any advice! sorry!
but with your strength, you can do anything!
Wow!
I hope, that I do it, and you'll be around to say,
hey THAT GIRL DID IT TOO!!

That would make me cry!
This has been the hardest past 2 years for me!

Was there any reason or situation, that made you reach 350?
I know what mine were!!!

Great to meet you! Kay

Thank you for the motivation :-) Just reading a reply like that makes me want to stick with it.
The only thing that made me reach 350 lbs at first was being lazy sitting on my but and not working out....other than that the comments from the kids at school when I was there which depressed me and made me want the confort foods even more. Funny how that works, you get made fun of for being over weight and it makes you eat even more, I'll never figure that one out.
Finally in 2002 maybe it was 2001 lol I'm so lost now, I finally said okay it's time to make changes, so I bought a pair of weights...10 lb weights(which were to heavy at first but I didn't know any better at the time) I started doing sit ups and an old dusty workout tape my mom use to do when I was little. After that I changed my eating habits, and up untill this point I was (guess I still am at times)doing good.
So that for now Is where I am :-)
hope to talk to you all again soon......

Hey Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got finished doing Tae bo, I feel wonderful right now, taking my 15 minute break before heading to the weight machine. I did an hour of Tae bo, first time I've been able to get a full hour work out in for about a week and a half...Life got kind of busy(mainly at work) Most I've been able to do is like 20 minutes on the weight bench.....it's amazing how much better working out makes you feel.
Going to the Lion King play tonight, was kind of hoping to lose a little more before tonight but the dress still looks good compared to what it could be!! :-) I bought it a size 10!!!!! First size ten in my collection wooooooooohoooooooooooo

YAH!!!!! Congratulations on the size 10!
Thats a great victory! And fitting a size 10 looks absoultely gorgeous! and you know it!

Have a great time at the play, it sounds really really fun!

I'll be watching out for you to post back!!!

Have a great time!!!!!!!!!
Kay

Wow Becky you came a long long way from 350 to 167 that's great. Keep up the great work and don't let a cookie defeat you. if you have it in your hand throw it on the floor and step on it. I'm also bad bad bad when it comes to cookies.
anyhow together we can. let's do this.

Hey You guys, thanks for the great support, it means so much really. I mean that is the only way I think to achieve a healthy living style, it's working together and getting the motivation and support from someone experiancing the same thing as you.

Everyone here is coming along so great, it's so awesome how well everyone is doing. Everyone on this site is a great inspiration and makes me want to continue and NOT give up... It's not easy to get what you want and it sure doesn't come free, but it will all be well worth it in the end :-)

Big hugs to all of you all for the great motivation and support, I hope to hear more about you all.....
