Well, I guess life goes on and people come and go.........Although I couldn't

keep up with everyone I have been reading yours and a few others posts while I

was away. I am so happy and proud of you for your weight loss. You are doing so

good. About the hubby thing, <sigh> I know there are lots of men and women that

need " new " things all the time to keep them excited so I know what you are going

through. All I can say is, Be VERY careful and protect yourself. If you know

what I mean. You never know when someone like that could make a mistake. I hope

things work out for you and he but from my experience, if the person never

recognizes that they have a problem and doesn't try to work on it then it is

sometimes destined for failure. I hope that doesn't happen in your case. But I

am more concerned about your physical health. I hope I haven't offended you in

what I have said.

By the way, about 17 days ago I tried the Atkins diet one more time and lasted

4 and 1/2 days. I had to quit again as it was making my kidneys hurt and I was

very lethargic. It has taken me a couple of weeks to get my energy back and I

gained all the weight back plus one pound more. So since I joined weight loss

buddies I have gained 3 pounds. LOL Now I have learned my lesson for sure. Lets

just say I am stubborn sometimes and think I know what I am doing. I thought I

could win with that diet but it just wasn't for me. It works for some but not

for me at all. Anyway, so here I am again. Back at square one and disgusted with

myself for being so stupid about the weight loss issue. Diets just don't work

for me anymore (im too old) and I know that but I was just trying to get a

little boost but it isn't in the cards for me. I am just going to have to go the

slow route and work hard and eat right.

I am going to try and follow Steve's routine and do it the right way. Good to

have you with us Steve. I am looking forward to knowing you. I liked your web

site (fatguysfitness.com) and I, also am going to try and learn allot from

fitness books and magazines. I have dieted all my life and lost tons of weight,

up and down. Done every diet in the usa and depleted my poor body and damaged it

greatly. Taken too many diet drugs, etc.....I am very very out of shape and have

no muscle at all. What a case I am. LOL

Sorry I went on for so long.

Hugs, Tina )

[Guest guest]

Sorry about that atkins diet (again). I won't say I told you, of

course :-)

I looked at Steve's website only for about 2 seconds before I got

timed out again - but it looks like exersice to me YIKES !!!

My eyeballs are still watering! LOL.

I'm thinking that when the kids are back in school I'll start a tape -

slowly build up to doing the whole thing again. Buns of steel of

course - maybe even the sweating to the oldies....first I need to get

the shades back up on the front and back windows in the living room.

I feel like I live in a glass house. No matter where I am I can see

outside and outside can see in. There are people in and out of the

driveway and house all day and well into the night now - hate it.

Use to be no one here but me and the little guy and I wanted real

poeple around so badly - but now, I just want to sit around in my

underware with my hair piled on my head in some dumb looking but

comfortable way again :-)

Maybe trying to 'not look lazy' has helped get some of this wieght

off. For the last month I've had to get up and get dressed right off

the bat. And heck, if your already dressed anyway - might as well do

something. Before, I was in my jammies till WAY past noon unless

there was an appointment - and I try to make appointments lateer in

the day - like 10am is the earliest I'll go!

There are alot of drivers around again - men who drive trucks for a

living tend to get pretty big for the most part - So I'm surrounded

by 300 and 400 pound males all the time. It sure helps me feel

little. LOL. But it also somehow give me a sence of being ok

heavier. I know - strange, but it's not as bad being fat with

company. So - I have to focus. I took several pics of me in my

underware and bra with my digital cam. I kept the worst one - the

one that made me look the biggest. It's passworded :-) but every

morning I take a look at it and then look at a pic of the virtual

modle at my goal wieght ... it helps most days...but other days I

wonder how nurotic it is to be jealous of a virtual modle of myself

that I made! LOL.

Guess what? This is *exactly* what the people who criticize the Atkins diet

say happens on the Atkins diet:

1) You go on the diet.

2) You immediately lose water weight (not fat.)

3) You have no energy because of the lack of blood sugar.

4) Your kidneys have to work over time to wash out the extra urea and

products from breaking down ketones.

5) As soon as you quit, you regain the water weight.

Voila!

Some people can manage to stay on the diet and do lose weight-- because the

do eat less.

> I am just going

> to have to go the slow route and work hard and eat right.

I'm 43. I've managed to lose weight by exercising and using portion

control. My secret food weapon: make *sure* I eat vegetables. I'm not

kidding-- in addition to portion control, I force myself to eat a carrot

snack in mid-morning, I've added a vegetable to every lunch, and I serve

salad with every dinner. (And usually have another vegetable.)

I make sure I follow the food pyramid more or less too!

Good luck Tina,

Lucia

That's funny! It's EXACTLY what I did when I decided to lose weight. I took

pictures every two weeks afterward too-- but always in my underwear. I

didn't take one I could show other people until after I'd lost weight!

That's why I don't have any " before " pictures at my site!

LOL. I don't know if that's good for me or bad for you! Hhahahaha.

And I supose you stand on a stool to see your butt in the bathroom

mirror too! LOL. Ya know - maybe it's my immagination - but it

seemes that about 10 pounds ago (up), my 'hail damage' didn't look so

bad. I'm hoping that when we get down to a few layers below the

presant on it will start looking better again. hope.

Hey then, maybe you shouldnt put up any curtains. It sounds like it is working

for you without them. That sweatin to the oldies tape is perfect for a starter

plan. I am very out of shape and have been doing the leslie sansone walk away

the pounds and it is even easier than richard simmons. LOL That tells you how

out of shape i am. But one day soon i will be able to do the sweatin tape. You

are doing great, keep up the good work.

Thanks Lucia, I appreciate all the tips I can get. I do get burned out on salads

though but I think there are many variations on that that I can try so it would

be ok. I am just too impatient but I know it has to be done the right way and

unfortunately that is also the slow way but healthy.

Re: Am I the only one?

Funny you should say that. Alot of people tel me the sme thing - yet

I look around and NOTHING is perfect! HAhahaaha.

Actually, I guess I'm 1/2 perfectionist, 1/2 slob. It's one way or

the other. Either perfect or forget it! LOL.

or sad, i either do something well or don't do it at all, i either stick to my

diet perfectly, or binge like crazy.........ect
