Re: Hello Everyone I'm New!

Okay I'll have my husband hide it and ask him to only get it out on

Monday mornings. That should help. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi Again ..

Excercise is great because you tone your body and work

your heart by doing that... However with some people

just walking a little everyday is enough at the

beginning...

So try and get yourself walking IF you are healthy

enough to do so..

Walking speed can increase slowly as your weight

drops and your body becomes more condition to some

sort of aerobic excercise..

You should never get breathless!!! Try singing a song

while you walk.. This way you can monitor yourself and

see if you are getting out of breath.

You are right though you cannot get to where you want

to with excercise alone.. you have to combine it with

a healthy eating plan... and unfortunately most people

that are vastly overweight can't excercise very well

without experiencing some major discomfort..

The good news is that as they lose weight it will

become easier..

Unfortunatelly I am unable to walk far distances even a block is too

much because of my disability which is Spina Bifida. There are

problems that go along with that that causes me to be unable to do

that. Also I can't get myself motivated to exercised. I exercised

the second day of my diet and that's it. I know that's awful. I just

can't get motivated.

A cup of water weighs 1/2 lb? I will need to remember that. I drink a lot of water. Just driving over to my moms to weigh in, I will consume a liter bottle of water.

The only reason it made me feel bad is it seemed she was making me

out to be a liar and that's impossible to lose 2 pounds in a day.

I've lost as much as 4 pounds a day. I've never gone up. I've either

maintained or lost. I'm proud of myself for losing weight since

that's my main concern. Weight is what is causing my mom to have

sleep apneia so I have a right to be proud of myself. She just hurt

my feelings that's all. I'm over it.

Hi ...

I think it is normal for some people to weight

themselves on a daily basis.. However what " I think "

is not normal is weighing yourself many times a day..

Since you feel obsessed with the scale it might be

best to limit weighing yourself as was suggested to

you.. On the other hand you might well be looking for

that reinforcement you need to hang in there...

For many successful people there could be a little

amount of obsessive behavior associated with their

success.. as long as it is not harmful to them I see

no problem with it..

I weight myself twice a day once in the morning and at night. I

recently went down to just once in the morning.

---It sure does. Just remember to not get into a mindset of denying

water to increase 'weight loss'. Hydration is so very important. It

flushes out toxins and keeps the 'balance' in our bodies. I have read

recently some negative statments about too much water upsetting the

electrolyte balance of the body too, so I tend to stick w/ approx 2

liters of added water a day. Clear pee might not be our friend as

previously told!

Well enough hydrated Kay

I think you're doing great, too, . Especially when you consider

how hard it was for you those first two weeks. You have come a long

way.

<ps please don't use the word ONLY when describing your weight loss,

you are doing great!! with your 6 pounds a month. You do not have

alot of weight to lose so your loss should be slower than someone who

has alot of weight to lose. Keep up the good progress!>
