Hi there,

I just got this and was wondering if anyone else has tried it? Looks pretty cool.

Buddies HEEEEEELP!

I was three lbs away from my ultimate goal weight. Then, Superbowl Sunday came around and I blew it at a party. From there, I went into a feeding freenzie and when I weighed in on Thursday, I was up 23 lbs from the week before. OMG I totally screwed up. I started back on track this past Thursday by going to the gym and eating better. WTF is wrong with me? I feel like such a failure. I no sooner bought and took the tag off new clothes then BAM! It has been harder than I thought going back to the gym. Mostly because the weight gain has to be noticeable, and there were people there pre-freeding freenzie who were complimenting me. I think about all the hard work I did, and how I undid a whole hell of a lot of it in just 4 days! I didn’t think that was even humanly possible. I’ve let everybody down, especially myself. I’m feeling very depressed right now, and I was thisclose to just throwing in the towel altogether, but I stayed strong. I’m trying to analyze this.  There’s got to be some psychological reason why I sabotaged myself.

Well, what’s done is done. I am back on track now, and I will NEVER do this again. All that food was sooo not worth it! Now, I am reflecting and trying to learn a lesson from all of this.

1) I have NOT conquered my food addiction.

2) What can I do to prevent this in the future?

I pretty much went around eating all the crap I have been depriving myself of for over a year.  I haven’t decided on the frequency, but I’m thinking I should pick a day where one meal (not goring myself sick the entire day) is what ever I want, but I’ll still budget it calorie wise. What do you guys think? I’m thinking maybe once a month, or every other month, or every three months.

I must say I am totally embarrassed by this. All I want to do is hide. I’m tired. I think all that crap is still lurking in my body. I need to find something that can suck in my gut so I can wear my new suits to work. Wish me luck. Thanks for reading.

First off, I’ve been repling to blogs, and it’s not showing up! What’s up with that?!

So, how did you do with Christmas Dinner? I did HORRIBLY. I ate so much I felt sick. I did this on Thanksgiving too. I told myself I wasn’t going to get out of control, but I did. I packed up everything and I am taking it to work tomorrow. For the dishes I made, I subed apple sauce for butter, splenda for sugar, etc., but it doesn’t help when you eat as much as I did!

So, tomorrow, I am going back on track. I am going to eat no more than 1,200 calories and I am going to the gym to do cardio. I will do an hour on the elliptical.

I hope you guys did better than me!

So, in another blog, I said how I am considering plastic surgery to remove the excess skin after my 150lb+ weight loss. I’m wondering has anyone here had this procedure done? Do you know someone who has? It’s very expensive. I know it will be painful, and it will leave scars, but I think it’ll be worth it. When I look in the mirror naked, it’s like all that hard work was for nothing. I do not regret losing the weight though. It’s just funny to me when people at work say they “want to look like me.” I’m thinking “not with my clothes off you don’t!” lol

So, I’ve been on the birth control pill for a while, but I was getting my period about every 2 weeks. I went to the Dr. today and he ended up perscribing the Depo-Provera shot. I asked what the side effects are before I agreed, and he said no more than the pill. Well, I’ve been reading all these horror stories online, and I am FREAKING OUT! Mostly everyone says how it made them gain a bunch of weight. I already work my a$$ off. OMG I am so upset! I am going to cry! As it is, I work out 6 days a week. I do 40min-an hour of cardio and on my “off” day, I’ll do something light. I try to eat around 1,400 cals a day.

They know my previous history with morbid obesity. Why would they do this to me?? WHY?!

I am going to give it a month of eating a little less and keeping up with working out the way I do. If I gain, I’ll have my calorie in/out log to show the Dr. And I’ll be like “look, you need to fix this NOW!”. lol

Does ANYone have ANYthing good to say about this damn shot??

Hellooo buddyslimmers!

I’ve been on this journey for a long time, and I can proudly say I weighed in at 155.8 today. My all time high weight was 309! I’d like to lose another 10 lbs, eventhough everyone says I’m crazy.

My next step in this journey is, unfortunately, removal of excess skin. I’ve seen 3 drs. so far. I’m going to need an overhaul like a classic car! lol I got a quote today for two procedures that I want. It will be $6,500. I think, overall, it will cost as much as a used Toyota to get where I’d like to be. I’m very self concious about my naked body, but I don’t know if I want to spend that much. On the other hand, I’ve worked VERY hard, and I deserve this. I’ll probably do two procedures at a time.

For those of you reading this who’ve got a long way to go like I did, just take it 10 lbs at a time. Otherwise, it’s too overwhelming.

I’m still in shock. I had to get some pants for the gym today in a size SMALL. WHAT?! I used to get a 3X, and that would be snug.

You can do this! I’m off to the gym now!  

When I do strength training, I’ve been trying to do 30 reps straight (when I can) instead of 3 sets of 10.  Is there any downside to this? What do you do? I first started it when I was pressed for time, but if 3 sets of 10 is better, I’ll do that.

I want to progress to jogging, but when I do, my back hurts on the left side. I guess I’ll need to increase distance/elevation to increase calorie burn.

Hey Gang,

So since Oct. I’ve been blogging every 15 lbs. Now, I’m 75lbs down from Oct, and I’m starting to see bones! lol If I stretch a certin way, I can see ribs. CRAZY! I can see my hip bones. My back is starting to get indentation. I have NEVER been at this weight as an adult and I am super excited!!

I got one of those hand held body fat things. It said my body fat% is 30.5 (ughh). I am 5′5 and 1/2 and weigh 172.6 im 28 y/o

So, how much fat do I have on me? How much do I need to lose? Can someone please help??
