Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Wow , You are such an inspiration!! You are obviously a very strong woman. I have no doubt that you will reach your goals. I was once at the point of needing to lose about 100 pounds. I know how overwhelming it sounds, but it can be done. I am down 75 lbs and feel great. Tae-Bo is an amazing thing. I look forward to being inspired by you =) Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Welcome K (we have a susi and a F)! I am glad you delurked. You definitely came to the right place for support. I have myofascial pain syndrome in my back from a previous disc injury. Aerobic exercise really alleviates the pain for me. I find that tension makes my pain so much worse. When I give in to exercise, my whole body relaxes and my circulation improves. I hope taebo does the same for you. I am sorry you have so much to deal with right now. You are definitely doing the right thing taking time out for yourself to exercise. The mothers here will tell you that, I'm sure. When you feel ready and if you have the time, add the floor work from the advanced to the basic tape workout. The extra time spent exercising and toning should speed up your results. I do taebo (advanced tapes) 6 days a week for fitness, appearance, and for back pain and depression and because I have the time to exercise that much (no kids).

Both of our parents live about 20 minutes apart! Barb, , and , thank you so much for the compliments. I try to be strong, but sometimes I feel like I am treading water with just my nose sticking above it! (And a wave about to go right over that nose! Both of my kiddoes are very bright, and altho they have issues, I know that they will slowly find ways to compensate. I just want to try and give them every tool and any assistance that I possibly can along the way. They shouldn't have to work twice as hard if there is something that I can do to help them. Sometimes I get depressed about everything that they are facing, but they are loving wonderful happy children, and that's the part that I want to maintain the most! , 75 lbs! That is wonderful! I have that long road in front of me, it's nice to know that someone else has already traveled it! (And done so well along that way.) Romie, It's nice to see another Texan, and thanks for telling me about Phyllis. I'll keep a look out for her posts too and see how she is doing with her Fibro and Tae-bo. I'm glad to hear that it is helping you out as well. I am on anti-depressants, but it is mainly to regulate my sleep patterns, so that my body can get that deep sleep and heal itself. If I don't take them I wake up at least 6x a night, if not every hour, and I never get that deep heavy sleep your body needs. You have your hands full with kiddos too, I see, do they enjoy trying to do the Tae-bo, too? Oops, aren't you the one whose 2 year old actually does it toooo well? Pamela and F, Thanks again for the warm welcome! It's wonderful to be part of such a supportive group! ( F, I've never posted here before. I found the tae-bo message board back in Oct last year reading only occassionally, but just found the email lists a few weeks ago when they were mentioned on their board.) (Hope I haven't missed anyone!) Regards, K in Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us add a longer stretching period at the beginning and end of each tape. It is a weakness of most of the tapes. Fortunately, there is the good stretching in the instructionals to learn and use when you do each tape. I also add in floor work several days a week. It's a great way to do a little more when you have a lot of energy and the tape alone doesn't do it for you. Elena, whose myofascial pain syndrome receives a lot of relief from antidepressants and, even if the depression and mood changes went away (probably won't), would still take the antidepressants for the myofascial pain.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2000 Report Share Posted March 29, 2000 Angie, Thanks so much for the welcome...this isn't long at all. The way this email list moves, I don't think I'll ever be able to keep up! I have a feeling I'll have to move to digest down the road, but for now it's nice to come here and always have a few emails from motivated TBers! Regards, K in Texas Taebotig@... wrote: > Hi .

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Hi Bobbie! Welcome!!!! With 3 kids, I'm sure you are a very busy lady! When you say that this is your 7th day and you may " start over " on Monday, that leads me to believe that you didn't quite live up to your expectations the first week. Let me be the first to tell you that NO ONE but NO ONE does this program perfectly. If you've read the book than you know that this is Body for LIFE...meaning, it is a way of life and not a diet to be followed and the emphasis is " progress " not " perfection. " Of course we all aim high and insist that we are going to eat perfectly and get all of our workouts in, but almost everyone here, even people who have been INCREDIBLY successful on this plan slip up. I cannot tell you how many people I have seen come to this board and say that they've messed up and need to " start over. " As you go along in your weeks and you've eaten something you shouldn't have, accept it, learn from it, and move on and eat cleanly the rest of the day, and the next day, try to do better. There is no beginning and end to this plan when done correctly. You're always mindful of what you SHOULD be doing and you try to do it. But, when you don't, please don't give up. This is why people quit. You have 6 meals you eat in a day that's 36 meals a week if you take a free day...if it is difficult for you to do this and you slip up alot, consider how many meals you ate well. Even if you eat 4 out of your 6 meals cleanly, that's 24 out of 36 meals eaten well and only 12 meals not eaten well. The next week try to do better and focus on small victories or you're going to get too overwhelmed. Here is an article from one of this groups moderators " Skwigg " at her site that you may find helpful. http://www.skwigg.com/id28.html " Cheaters Prosper " http://www.skwigg.com/id60.html " This is Your Brain on BFL " and if you're in a fitness slump http://www.skwigg.com/id63.html " I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up " Good luck! You can do this! Just dust yourself off and get back on that BFL horse! Glad to see your post! Hope to " see " you back soon! -Ruth > Hi everyone. My names Bobbie and I'm a fat person.
