No, I haven't really taken many pictures - really HATE to see them!!! :mad:

I have a picture that my husband had taken back when I was little, that no one can see (okay, not a naughty picture, but nothing to show the family, ya know) ;) Anyway, it stays with me as encouragement to get back to that shape again! :D Hey, it helps!! (plus, my husband likes to see it every now and then) :cool:

Oh, I did forget:rolleyes: ..........my newest doctor put me on Phentermine/Adipex for a month a while back (maybe 5 months ago), but they made me really jittery and my heart raced all the time. So, I wasn't even on them a month. He said that they effect everyone differently, and that he was only allowed to have poeple on them for maybe two months at a time. Strange!

He then gave me a perscription for Meridia, but I never filled it. For one, it cost alot more than I thought I wanted to pay and then I didn't want to pay that amount for something that would make me feel weird. (apparently, I can't take alot of medicines - learned something new there).

Anyway, I have been working hard - got up to 5 miles a day on the treadmill (not everyday anymore, but between 3-5 miles) - which I burned up the breaker/fuse in my treadmill!, work in the yard more and such (one of the main reasons I haven't been on YT much). I eat what I want, just watch it and drink lots of water and green tea (a taste that had to grow on me). I still get bored with water sometimes, but you can use the new Crystal Light and stuff now too. I also use flax seed and other ingredients like that in my foods.

I FEEL and LOOK so much better, just from dropping weight and eating better. I can tell when I don't drink enough water or eat well because I get cranky, moody and tired. I just become a different person. That is another thing that keeps me on the "right path".

PM anytime! I would love to chat about my stories and what I do and/or try that I like and don't like.

Good luck to you!

That hemmorroid thing is true, not that I know from experience.

Anyway, YT rocks! Nowehere else can we share these kind of "experiences."

I know, that is crazy about how much girls weigh now! I am 5'11" and a size 10, and I want to go back to a 6. (Had a baby in December) But, I am no where weighing 120! That would probably kill me. 140 is the lowest weight I should go (if I can even get there!)

And now that I am 30, it is SO hard to lose weight. I miss being 20!

:D That's funny! My friend is the same way - she has what I can only describe as watermellons! Natural watermelons! She has little skinny legs too - very unporportioned! :p

My problem, is that I normally get rid of THAT "good" fat, but since I have been working hard on my own, I have noticed that "they" have stayed put!

My goal is 120-125 (more on the upper side, I guess). I am 5'5 (give or take). My doctor said 130 would be good, but I don't know! We will see! I just hope I can get over this plateau I am on right now!

yeah right! ;) I really didn't know that was true - I thought you had to "strain" (sorry:eek: ) to get those!

I HEAR YOU THERE!!!! My doctor said it only gets worse!!!:eek: :( Lord help us!

Sorry....wanted to add to my last response, but YT froze up on my computer!!!:mad:

I wanted to say, we rescued a big black lab (Luke) from a life in a cage (he was a kennel stud dog). We took him to the vet yesterday to get checked and "fixed" and he weighed 99.6lbs! :eek: BIG dog! He is good exercise! His long legs keeps us running!

So, if all else fails.......rescue a big (long legged) dog! :p

Jenn...You sound like you really are doing great ! 3 miles in the treadmill is outstanding ! last time I used mine I got bored - how do you do it ? you and I are the same height.... and that's about my regular weight - 120-125 is a good weight for that height.

and on the picture ...I'm nosy - I want to see it LOL !! It must be a good one if you can't share it - (I have a few of those hehe - fully clothed but a little ''ris-kay') :D

and congratulations on Luke and saving him from an awful life - that's awesome and he must be soooooo happy with his new family !!

Wow! that is A BIG lab!!! We have a chocolate lab, but she weighs 66 lbs. She is a pain in the butt too! She has chewed up about $500 worth of soaker hoses and garden hoses, chewed the 4 wheel drive wires under my husband's truck, chewed the wires off of our boat trailer, chewed a bicycle seat off, tore up my flower beds 3 TIMES, and destoyed 2 welcome mats.

But for those taller women - I can see how sizes and such would be confusing AND hard to find.....just like us 'big boobed' women LOL - I don't think I OWN a button up the front shirt and when I did buy them - they just never fit right....

I am praying to the Boob God that I lose some there when I lose this weight. If I could ship some Boob to someone - LINE UP HERE !:D[/QUOTE]


Vilette I will be next in line behind you to give some away, some women are buying them and we are trying to get rid of them LOL

:eek: I didn't know labs were so destructive....

Wait,wait.....
 

I am, and trust me im not tiny, im just a person that has always been slim...I dont have a big bottom or big hips, sooooo thats why , i weigh less, and am Very healthy!!!! I just eat healthy
(well sometimes, i ate half a pizza yesterday) and my body fat is lower than in other people...

:p ::D

well...you just suck ! LOL ! I bet you look awesome and sounds like you have a great metabolism.....

I used to have one.:(

What\'s metabolism????? Oh yeah....that\'s what I use to have before kids!

Thanks for the post. I need to lose weight so I\'m gonna try drinking more water too....hopefully it will work!

They aren\'t all that bad. Our 2 year old yellow lab just sleeps all day, and rides in the golf cart with my father in law around our neighborhood.
