Back on the wagon...Follow

I would be there except for one thing:

I f'ucking hate Boston. I really never need to go back.

Actually, it would. You don't understand, I loathe Boston. I hate Boston with a greater hate than I have for L.A., and it is a known fact that Nothing Good Can Come From L.A. I got in a car accident in Boston, I had some jerk-off try to mug me in Boston, I know a Gynecologist in Boston that I, I have an ex-fiance in Boston, I hate the Red Sox about 1 nat's wing less than I hate the Yankees. Boston is the root of all evil.

I hate Boston.

I never say that I diet since I don't want my daughter to getting ideas about her body image and such. She told me one time that she had to go on a diet because she didn't like her thighs. I looked at her and I was like "what makes you think that?" And she told me that someone at her daycare said that no woman likes her thighs. I'm sure my daughter just overheard that, but it did bother me. After that, I realized how impressionable young girls can be so I really watch what I say about diets and working out, etc.

I just say that I'm trying to eat more healthy and I work out whenever my daughter asks me if I'm going to the gym. Then she giggles because I tell her I'm working out because she's making me old.

But for a quick weight loss (mostly water), I do the cabbage soup thing for 7 days. You eat a specific kind of food, plus the soup for a week. I generally lose around 8-10 pounds in that week, but it's mostly water weight. But it jump starts me and I keep going.

I'm about 10 pounds over the weight I was when I got married, and I'm back at the weight I was when I got pregnant with Charmaine. I want to get back to the weight I was when I graduated from college!

So what you are saying is that you prefer she-males?


That's the only womens I know that sport "sausage and spuds".

Have you ever considered making love to a big bag of lipo-sucked fat? Apparently it's the shiznit.

Want the best diet advice anyone can give?

1: Eliminate caloric drinks of any kind
2: Eat more, smaller meals
3: Exercise
4: No fast food, no fried foods

Bam. Done.

You girls and your "I wanna lose weight but I don't want to sweat or spend any more energy."

There's a reason you've been fighting with the weight for years. You haven't done anything about it.

I actually started a training consultation with a woman who said, and I quote, "I wanna lose weight, but I don't want to sweat, and I can't change my eating habits. I would take a pill, but I really don't like swallowing pills. What can I do?"

If you want it bad enough, you'd be willing to make the effort needed.

I bet you could double that if you punched sides of beef in a meat locker for 7.5 minutes.

Stay chunky then. Just don't ***** when the hubby gets tired of cottage cheese and decides to go on a low fat diet.

Meh.

Sadly I am having to consider it too. I recently topped 240lbs...which while does not classify me as a whale (considering I am 6'2 and work out all the time) It does, however make me thicker than I wish to be.

I am a weird dichotomy of good and bad habits...I exercise all the time, but I eat like crap. I drink no soft drinks...a ton of water...but I off set that by drinking coffee like a maniac. I don't drink or smoke...but I don't get enough sleep either.

This equation equals 240lbs.

What about for those of us that if we dont get 8+ hours of sleep we feel exhausted still? So if we sleep normal hours its like if we didnt sleep at all?

each persons "normal" amount of sleep is different. For me, I have to have a minimum of 9 hours each night or all hell breaks loose. For Mr. DSD, he can get up normally after 5-6 but his body starts to wear down sooner than if he got the full 8. But for your body not to think its trying to mess itself up, I do believe it is the 8 hours, since that is the average sleep a person *should* get to stay heakthy

In the past 3 months I've dropped almost 30 pounds. I've been using a program called yourself! fitness. It is basically a virtual physical trainer. It kicks your *** most of the time, and it really does seem to help. Plus I've been changing my eating style by eating more, since I used to only eat one big meal a day and nothing else. Good luck on losing though, you can do it. The idea though isn't temporary change, because if thats your goal its just gonna be that - temporary. You have to alter your lifestyle in a way that's still enjoyable for you (because if it isn't enjoyable you won't stick with it), and still helps you lose.

Either way, good luck and god speed!

I need to get back on the wagon, too.

The Ensure wagon. That stuff is great - Ensure Plus has 350 calories and 50g carbs per bottle! I really need to get going on this. Ive been living a sedentary lifestyle, sitting on my *** and living off of white bread, whole milk, peanut butter and pasta for months - and I still weigh exactly 125. I do get some decent exercise in walking into town, usually a mile or two a day, and often carrying $50 worth of discount groceries. My girlfriend says I'm toning up, but still not putting anything on. My arms look like tennis balls tied together with shoelaces, and my chest like a venetian blind wrapped in a sheet.

I don't really understand how people can say they're too lazy or too busy to try to lose weight. You're obviously not too lazy or busy to eat. If you really were lazy, like I usually am, then you could go most of a day without realizing you haven't eaten at all yet. And if you really were too busy, you wouldn't have time to eat, or be too tired for dinner at the end of the day.
