I just came from the gym, and the owner had awarded 2nd and 3rd prizes! I won a $20.00 gift certificate to the mall It felt so good to receive that recognition for my hard work when just a few months earlier I could barely drag myself to the gym

I can't even get on a treadmill right now...I started P90x and I feel like someone ran over me with a truck! But hey, its working

Hubby and I are working out everyday together and its really fun plus healthy for my stress levels right now...(both our stress levels actually ).

I enjoy yelling at Tony, the man on the DVD and telling him how much I hate him He's corny but its really a great workout. Switches on and off from yoga, kenpo, lifting (w/ bands if you prefer), stretching, ab ripper work out (which I couldn't complete at first), etc. It's really intense and awesome so you don't get bored!

Ok, this may sound desperate... but it is because I am desperate. I have GOT to lose weight! It's turning into a health thing and not just a cosmetic thing. The thing I need is a person to keep me in check. Someone to text me, e-mail me, call me, motivate me etc. I need help big time. I've got to lose at least a 100 lbs and I can't do it alone.

Last night...after a certain marital right... my husband took a shower and I laid in bed not just crying... WEEPING. I've cried a lot before about my weight. Weeping is something I haven't done. I was shaking and I felt so bad. My husband loves me and he says he doesn't care how much I weigh. That is sweet and I love him for it but I feel terrible and hopeless.

Does anyone feel like helping me?

Hey Leyla, we are here for you. Sometimes it takes getting to the desperate point before you have the willpower to actually do it, because it is SO HARD. Losing weight is not easy and there is no easy road, despite what the advertisements and media would have you believe. You have to be ready to SUFFER and to do some hard, hard work and be in it for the long haul. By the long haul, I mean for the rest of your life, not just for a year or two or until you lose a few pounds. This is forever. Don't start until you are ready for that committment. (Kinda like getting married! LOL).

I went to the gym today I was on the eliptical for 15, the tred for 5 and the eliptical again for 5. I feel good. I am hoping to get back there tonight (or at least walk around the apartment complex).

:dance:

That's great! Keep it up. Every little bit helps. :-)

That's great! Keep it up. Every little bit helps. :-)

I know you've been waiting a long time, and I hate to see anyone wait a long time, we waited 6 months, and then heartbreak, we had to withdraw. I dont know how to explain it, I dont like to see anyone wait, and wait, and someone who files months later files and get approved before the person who has waited forever, Im just glad now I know what close to a approval feels like after our heartbreak last year. THANK YOU for your sweet note, it means the world to me.

Joined Weight Watchers Tuesday. I don't get it. It's supposedly this new program called momentum or something but it's 100% exactly the same as the old point system except I get less points per day than I used to. (been on and off WW since I was 17 yrs old). I won't be exercising for a while so we'll see how this goes. I have gained a TON of weight since I first met my husband. Probably a total of 25 pounds. (and I wasn't exactly a skinny minnie before that...I think I was a normal size 14 back then).

Well in the commercials I see they say to concur hungry. But if I know fat people (and trust me.... I DO) we eat even if we're NOT hungry. THAT'S the problem.

I'm trying Dr. Phils Ultimate Weight Loss Solution. It's about mentally and physically changing your life. I pray to God I have the power to do it this time. I have at least 100lbs to lose (maybe more).
