Jana....

How are

you now doing today? I hope that you are feeling better soon.

I'd like to come visit sometime. First I have to go to the

dumby doctor in at 1330 on Tuesday. The plan had been for me

to go there and give him the massive attitude adjustment that he is is

major need of.

But now,

"we" will be lucky if I raise my voice to him at all.

self feeds from her bowl with a fork or spoon almost anything I give

her, on the other hand, hasn't eaten a dinner going on 3 weeks now,

I put dinner in front of him in his bowl, he then says " no eating " and

if you are quick enough, I can catch the bowl before he tosses it! Tara

just goes right on eating........Yea Tara!!!!!!!!!!!! Soo much for

wanting her to mimick her " typical " twins behavior!

The best thing I ever found was Balmex. It was like a miracle----rash

and redness is gone overnight everytime. This was before I started

making my own stuff, so I never did check the ingredients. I'll have

to stop in at the drugstore and find out now.

Hi B.J.,

You're doing it girl! Whooo Hooo. I don't know if you can get to

your computer without waking the house up on mornings when you have

low motivation. When I feel like I can't do a workout, I sit down at

my computer and go to bodychangers.com and listen to an interview.

I'm now in the habit of listening to an interview before each

workout. Give it a try--it always works for me. I realize time might

be a constraint, but even looking at the pictures is inspiring.

About late night eating--I usually drink a protein shake. I would

definitely not make it a free night meal as you will have had a mini-

workout with bowling and you could be burning fat as you sleep. I'm

glad you came out of lurkdome! I'm new to this board too. (This

is week 1 for me--did a successful challenge a year ago--had some

personal problems--am back to BFL again-- because I know this

works!!)

Warmly,

Petra

Any significance to this number?

It's like watching Final Jeopardy bids, wondering why people chose to bet a

certain amount.

> Are all the members following the same diet plan, or are you

> doing " your own things? "

Our own things. Some are following Deal A Meal or Foodmover,

others are on Ornish or McDougall's vegetarian plans, and you've got

everything in-between, including no plan at all, just avoiding junk food and

increasing water consumption for now.

One plan I haven't really seen discussed here too much is Atkins or other

low carb plans. For about 2 weeks I tried Sugar Busters and had an upset

stomach the whole time from all the fat! I didn't dare try any of their

recipes using heavy cream for fear I would explode!

Are you doing anything special yet or still browsing around for something

you can live with?

> Any significance to this number?

I chose 206 because for a long time I weighed between 200 and 206 and

want to at least get back to where I was before I put on the extra

weight in the last few months. When I get lower than that I'll really

feel like I'm getting somewhere.

I also chose it because I think it is realistically attainable before

the end of the year - I don't want to finish the year weighing more

than I did at the start of it!

> Are you doing anything special yet or still browsing around for

> you can live with?

Nothing special. One of the only things I haven't tried is slimfast,

which I'm thinking about doing for a week, starting tomorrow. I

figure it's at least worth a go!

Hey Drew we are in the same area of weight. I was 225 sunday. This friday

is my weigh in and I hope to be lower than the 225. I am going to change my

signature this friday to reflect my gain. BUT I have forgiving myself and am

going to move forward. Race you to 199.

Dear GTS,

You asked how I got all the whiplashes?

Well, three before I was eighteen.

One was work related, one at school, one car.

Fell on my head off of a pool deck, (Klutz:)

Several car wrecks after that.

When I blacked out driving, I received my head injury and whiplash and

more.

I think I have had my quota, don't you? smile

Blessings,

nah

[Yes, eight whiplashes is certainly more than your quota! I think that might

be a world record! Glad you're still with us. -gts]

Hello Myream,

Congrats to you for begining again.

I have a total gym, I haven't used it lately, but I think it will be

fine for BFL. There are also exercises you can do that don't require

wts (at least to begin with). Push ups, squats, lunges, crunches,

back extensions, etc. Be sure to mix it up occasionally to keep your

body guessing.

Go girl,

Becky

Welcome to BFL! You're gonna love how you feel after working out.

You may be tired the first few weeks. Get good sleep and plan,

plan, plan. It's easy to drop out if you don't plan for those

meals. I'm 5'2, 170 lbs, so I feel your pain! haha I had gotten

up to a size 17/18 jeans and decided enough is enough. I was as big

around as my stove! I'm now in a snug 14 but still working on it.

Post often, we love to hear how people are doing.
