Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Dianne, Well I haven't been walking outside or doing the tread as much but I have been going to the gym and doing weights more and having kind of interesting results. I have always believed that if I just exercised regularly, mainly cardio, walking or whatever that I could keep losing weight. I had heard and read many times that you burn more fat by doing weights but I just didn't buy it. Well since I have been going to the gym more and walking less I have found that even when I was not eating good, bridal shower and wedding and stuff, I did not gain. MY weight has not been going up and down as drastically. Instead in July I actually went down about 3 lbs to 206-208 instead of 208-212, 216 at times in may and June. I joined the gym in May. So while this may not be drastic results they are making me feel better, more in control. Once Cassie gets back to school I, Sept 2nd, yeah!!!! :-) I plan on getting back to my daily walking or treadmill and doing the weights at the gym 2-3 times a week and hopefully to lose 3-5 lbs a month for at least the rest of this year. Abut the in the genes thing. Yes, I believe we are genetically predisposed to certain things but I also believe that knowledge is power. Just because something runs in ones family does not mean you just sit back and let it happen. It means you know you may have more of a tendency to get something and might have to work harder but you can fight things like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure. That is why I like to point out that there are other benefits to exercise and eating healthy then just weight loss. It is worth it! Just not all results show up right away. Just keep at it! Look at the big picture, not just losing weight but being healthier.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Dianne, It's ok. No apology necessary. I guess I just assume people know I am actually the group owner. I don't like talk about it all the time because I am here for support and friendship like everybody else. But that is why I did take some things that were said personal since I am here the most and many things were directed at " the moderators " . Anyway, it's done now. Without going into detail, I do feel it was not the group or me. I'm trying to move on and just focus on the people that are here. Gena :-) > Gena, > > I did not realize you were a moderator when I wrote this.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Lots of thoughts running thru my head on this one. Please no one take offense to this. It's just some thoughts. If a full figured woman was eating a well balanced diet with little sweets, sugar and fats..basicly following the food pyramid and getting 3-5 days of exercise would she loose weight. Maybe settle into a weight that was right for her body. I think it might happen. I think she would become leaner. Her body would start to metabolise food better. If she remained what would be considered full figured but was healthy. By that I mean was not at risk for heart problems or becoming diabetic. I think then maybe that is what she is suppose to be. If she is happy with that than that is all the better. However if she makes herself believe that that is the best she can be and settles and then lables herself full figured then I think there is more to the story. We will never be the same as when we were young teen girls. Those days are long gone for some of us in addition to the wonders that motherhood has done to our bodies. With motherhood comes wider hips and weight gains. I don't think we have to say oh well that's how it is. I have had two children and I am being realistic in thinking I am never going to have my perky pre baby breast again or those narrow hips. But I can have a better looking body if I want it enough. I can flatten that tummy and I can developed toned leaner looking arms and legs. I might not be runway model material when it's all done and said but if I am happy with me than I have achieved my goal. I guess what I am trying to say is it is possible. I didn't think it was myself for a long time now. In talking with the hubby one night (who is now lifting to get himself back into shape)I said I don't want to look like a movie star or something I just want to look good in my clothes and be happy. He said to me " you can look however you want you just have to do it. Might take longer but you can do it. " That was the most motivating thing anyone has ever said to me. At the time we were looking at this magazine he had gotten at GNC with mr and mrs. fit themselves on the cover. Just to know that he thought that I have a chance at looking like that if I work at it was real uplifting. It might not be next month or even in 6 months but if I keep at it I can get there.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 I figure Madonna's ten-odd years older than I am, so if she can look great, and be so fit and toned, so can I. =+) I don't want to be skin and bones, looking like a chicken carcass, ( Kidman and Zellweger come to mind), I want curves (not bulges!!) and sleek muscle tone. =+) Catalina > > > In a message dated 9/29/2003 11:36:48 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > > > weightlossbuddies2 writes: > > > > > > > > > > Thanks though, like I said in the post, I know not everyone > could > > > > relate to what I was saying but I truly expected more > replies.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Me too! I've always been fond of Marilyn Monroe for being a major sex symbol without being tiny. I don't know if they're still around, but I once found a line of undergarments named for Marilyn Monroe, with nothing bigger than a B-cup!!! I was appalled that they would make things such that the person whose name they carried couldn't wear them!!! Catalina who always roots for the fat Elvis. =+) > > > > In a message dated 9/29/2003 11:36:48 PM Eastern Daylight > Time, > > > > weightlossbuddies2 writes: > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks though, like I said in the post, I know not everyone > > could > > > > > relate to what I was saying but I truly expected more > replies. > > I > > > > > still might get some but basically I think I am dealing with > > > > > different body types than myself. > > > > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > > > > > > > Dianne > > > > > > > > > > > > > Dianne..

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Dianne, I think it's great you have that attitude about yourself! I think it really is about attitude, feeling good about yourself ya know? The main objective should be to be to healthy and happy, not just focusing on a number on the scale. That is what I feel is most important.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Hiya Dianne, I was born and raised in Ohio. In 1997 my hubby(then boyfriend) enlisted in the Marines and we married in March of 98 and moved to California that summer. We were stationed at Camp Pendalton and lived in Oceanside. I loved it! You would of thought I was born and raised there. I live in Cleveland..well in the suburbs..it's called Parma it's one of the biggest suburbs in the country. I miss Cali. Cali just seemed younger..cleaner..and I fealt better health wise living there with all my allergies and asthma. The last two years of living back here in Ohio have just proven that we made a big mistake by coming back between my health and family issues. Thanks about my mom...I really miss her. It's been 4 years but still feels like yesterday. Just as a funny side note..most people say I am nuts when they hear this but after I had my son my hubby had to go back to Cali. I had to stay for 5 weeks. I then made the trip back on a Greyhound with a 5 year old and a 5 week old. My cousin came with me and we sent her back on a plane. But boy let me tell ya there are alot of miles from one side of this country to the other and you don't realize how many till you travel for days with two kids Anywho..I miss Cali and would love to move back there some day. I told the hubby if we win the Mega Millions bet your lucky stars we are moving back! Rhonda > > > I weighed 125 before I got pg with my first. I was 17.
