I am the Biggest Loser...Kinda.

Candace Louise........

I love and admire you and I will join you in this as I am the heaviest I have ever been at this moment. Like you: "E~FUCKING~NOUGH"!!!!!!!!!!

As cute as I am, there needs to be less of me, because it is now not about being cute and jolly and roly~poly, but about having my health compromised.

Count me in!

YAY!!!

Let me tell you that my "The Biggest Loser Cookbook" Was the best gift I have ever recieved. YOU MUST invest in this.

It will also ask you to invest in a kitchen scale and a olive oil sprayer. Everything else can be made using the stuff that I Know already exists in the Licious One's kitchen *wink*

You can do this, sweetcakes.

Next thing you know there'll be less of us!!!!!

YAY!

At some point, I want to get a red wagon and fill it with fat ~ like Oprah did that time ~ just so I can be thoroughly disgusted over just how much fat I was carryin' around with me.....

I think I prefer "Sweet'n'LOWcakes", Splenda Louise!

Hi Candace ! I'm sure you will do great , keep a positive attitude . We Love The Biggest loser show! We watch every Tues without fail. It's amazing what
these people can do. Are you going to use a trainer and what gym are you
going to ?
I would like to lose some and get healthy , too! I didnt know there was a biggest loser cookbook , need to check it out . I do have to say the recipes in the south beach cookbook are fabulous, And one of my all time favorites is The Love your Heart Cookbook (low Cholesterol). Maybe when us girl get together again we can do a 5 mile walk !

hugs
Doll

Candace...

I know how hard it is to make life changes. I woke up in August and decided that my love affair with sugar and carbs had to stop. As much as I love them... they are bad for me. With my family history and some health conditions I have, carb-free (or as close to that as possible) IS healthier for me.

The sugarfree "to-go" koolaid packs have been my lifesaver. I went from drinking a 12pk of soda per DAY to none. Zero. I don't really miss them (except when I want Jim Beam backed by my precious Sundrop)

As of this morning, the result has been a loss of 71lbs. Yep. Seventy one. Four clothes sizes and still dropping. The new "skinny jeans" I bought just two weeks ago are already too big. Its a great feeling even if the continual shopping is making the cheapo bastid in Jess have near fits.

Am I proud of me? Oh yeahhhhhh. Do I feel better? Its amazing. Am I running circles around Jess because I feel better? Uh huh.

Food is the only demon I think we have to "feed" everyday. I am an emotional eater. I love my mashed taters and gravy moreso than ice cream.

I think that to be successful with long term weight loss, you have to find what works for you. The way you lose the weight is the way you will have to eat for the rest of your life.

I know that you have all the necessary internal tools to do this. There are good support groups that are completely free (OA) that might be beneficial to you. You have your planet family here and I am sure we are all behind you 100%.

I heard a lil blurb on tv the other day that said that ppl who keep a food diary are far more successful at weight loss than those who don't. I know when I started tracking what I ate and the portion size (cause we all know that super size bag of cool ranch doritos MUST be the serving size), it was really an eye opener for me.

Best of luck to you!

Christie

Count me in!

count me in as well. i'm happy with who i am every single day of the week but i'd be happy to continue the weight loss path i've been on.

my biggest issue right now is that i've been pretty blue recently so i stop eating almost completely and end up smoking more. that's easily as unhealthy as abusing food. i also dont work out when i'm sad, even though it would help put me in a better mood.

it's not motivation to eat less and exercise i need help with but the motivation to kick my own butt and stop moping around doing nothing that i lack!

This was me from Sept 18th, til October 31st last fall. I thought i lost the love of my life, i stopped eating, stopped drinking soda, started smoking more and lost 48lbs.

I however, gained back 7 so far. I went down 4 sizes in jeans, it helped me in a sense, but it was not the right way to lose the weight.

My next lifes journey is about to start in a few weeks and i'm hoping to make better changes.

I commend ya'll.

I gotta get that Biggest Loser cookbook

canmarielan · 01-29-2010, 02:02 AM

I'm so happy to have been able to attend the weight loss support group chat this evening. It's nice to connect with people.

*smiles*

So, these last 2 days off I've kinda been slacking as far as calories. I haven't gone far over....maybe 2-300 calories.

Back to work tomorrow and back to being really strict as well as hitting the gym again for the first time since I hurt my ankle. I'll do that tomorrow night!!!

I wish all of you well!! Thanks for your support.

canmarielan · 01-31-2010, 02:14 AM

So I worked a double friday night into this morning. 16 hours!!!!!

*sigh* So I allowed a co-worker to work for me this evening so that I could sleep LOL....

Kind of defeats the purpose of me working that shift last night to make up hours I lost on suspension, eh?

Oh well.

So, I'm feeling SOOOOooooOOoOOOoo lazy.

I can't seem to convince myself to get to the gym I know once I start going I'll feel much better and ready to go again. I just KNOW i'm not going to loose any weight this week, I've been so slack. Not that I'm eating burgers and fries, but just haven't been as strict as I was the first 3 weeks.

I suppose I'm scared I'm going to fail.

I can't fail.

I have to keep my head up and not allow all of this stuff to cloud my vision of myself for the reunion in August. I want to be 100 lbs down by then and I know it's possible!!!!

How are all of you doing?

Ok. So last couple of days have been kinda hard. Sit down and figure out what to do over the next couple of days to get you back on track. Don't overdo workouts but plan them into your day -- even if it's a walk during break or having a couple of apples instead of apple pie. Don't let these little trips ruin the whole journey. You've already seen success! Keep at it!

This week, for me, wasn't bad. Food wise I didn't do as well but I did my exercises so that kept it to a minimum. I'm working at getting back into better habits. The plus is that I'm pretty much working from home after next week so it should be easier for me.

GO TEAM BFP!

Lady Jewel · 01-31-2010, 07:55 PM

Hey honey

Strop stressing yourself so much. Lapses are natural. Dont beat up on yourself and get back on the wagon. You'll do it. We all have faith in you. You have my number and you may call me ANY time you need to talk.
Im sending you a big ol' hug.

Yours,
Jewel
