It's so freaking hard, isn't it.

Off topic for a sec, but I gotta say that outta everyone on the org...I seem to identify with you the most. You and I are a lot alike I think.

You even once made a thread that I was thinking of making a day or two before you made yours. I always felt we were kinda similar but when I read it I was like, "whoa, weird". It was the thread about tv habits, I think that was you, right?

JustErin said:

DUDE, I'm constantly identifying w/ your comments too! Always thought you were a cool chick And the tv thread probably was me, I think I've done a FEW of those

It IS really hard, but I guess we gotta allow ourselves @ times just to avoid going nuts & make up for it as much as possible I'm still trying to find a balance, w/ my gym-avoiding ass Just gotta keep trying, I really feel like this is the THE YEAR for some permanent effort/change

That was my weakness. Back in the day, I'd go through a whole box in one sitting, popping them like tic-tacs. Even today, I get tempted every time I pass the Entenmanns aisle. But I must fight it.

Every now & again I MUST give in to the glazed buttermilk donuts But I haven't had an Entenmanns fit in a while, thank God

The crumb donuts used to be good too... and that gat-dayum Bavarian Coffee Cake

JustErin said:

I gotta say though, you're a better woman than me - I think I'd eat 1 or 2 of those cookies before giving them away

so my power goes out this afternoon.
i think, ok, that is the cosmic way of saying get off your butt
so i go down to the pool
and stop to use the phone since i didn't have a working phone at home

and i notice that i am 20 minutes late for lane swim...
there is some sort of swimming competition on for the rest of the day

JustErin said:

Day 6 of no soda But I have lost 6 lbs this week

I hate this thread... it reminds me of what I am NOT doing!

Have you considered cutting down on alcohol? It really makes you shed pounds fast.

Also eat mostly organic foods..and NEVER fast food...food like that has growth hormones and additives that make you fat and hungrier. Get Kevin Truedu's book "Natural cures they don't want you to know about" it's not just for the conspiracy theroist. I good way to eat healthy is to limit eating out as much as you can and actually cooking it's actually cheaper in the long run too. But it takes effort and time but it's easy to control your weight when you stick to a menu plan at home.

Also working out five times a week is not only good for you physically but pschologicaly as well. It will make you want to eat healthier.

Drinking lots of water helps...I know I get bored of it too but when I do I squeeze lemon or lime in it or get a flavored mineral water that has no asparamate or sodium like La Croix.

I really stress the importance of eating all organic, natural foods though...it is so healthy for you and it also changes you mentally and clears your mind too.

Congrats Steph.

I don't know if this was meant for me but I only drink alcohol maybe once a month. I am trying on eliminating junk food completely: I slip over the weekends. I love water particularly since it is about the only thing I am allowing myself to drink. I haven't had a Pepsi in 49 days now.

I have lost 5 lbs in the past month only 40 more to go

Mach said:

I want to lose double that and I have given myself a year to try. I am constantly reminding myself not be get down oe depressed if I am not losing. It helps to get me back on track.

Stymie said:

we can do it

Stymie said:

thanks Ivy

EverSoulicious said:

6lbs??

Did you cut off a limb or something??

Stymie said:

That's awesome. I still enjoy drinking once in a while but when you drink more than you should it is tougher to lose weight..I think it slows down your metabolism, makes you want to eat unhealthier food to soak up the alchohol when your drunk plus it just adds uncessary calories. I didn't know how much you drank I was just speaking for anyone. I've seen girls who party all the time then they lost like ten pounds and I'm like "What did you do?" and they said they just stopped drinking!

That is awesome about not drinking soda..I wish I had that willpower. Regular brands are bad like Pepsi or Coke because they contain high furtose corn syrup which is a man made chemical that makes people addicted and fat...the sugar has been genetically altered. Drinking an all natural soda like Blue Sky is better because the sugar is pure cane sugar which is from it's natural state without and werid chemicals added to it. But easier said than done..I've developed a real taste for Coke over the years.

But whatever you do don't drink diet ANYTHING Asparamate is like crack and one of the worst things you can put in your body...it does nothing but make you addicted to it and not allow you to lose weight.

Okay, I seriously can't take it anymore!!!!

Why am I being completely ignored on this thread?????

SureThing said:

I don't ignore you, so you can't blame me!

JustErin said:

Maybe THATS why people aren't talking to me.

SureThing said:

You bitch.

I hope you get a serious case of the bloats this weekend.

JustErin said:

OMG
SHUT UP 'm Cursed
CURSED I tell ya.
I got my rag last weekend for the first time in like 6 months.

JustErin said:

you are so not funny

EverSoulicious said:

I'm dead serious.

How do you lose 6lbs in a week.

My condolences if you did indeed lose a limb, btw.

JustErin said:

well seeing as how I have over a 100lbs to lose and stopped drinking soda, started walking and eating better it wasn't hard. And no I didn't lose a limb, just fat and water.
