GOOD LUCK ! I posted at the same time as you above so I had to reply again LOL - and You're doing great ! Are you taking progress photos ?

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

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!

Hey, it helps!! (plus, my husband likes to see it every now and then)

Oh, I did forget

..........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!

I showed him an article that said that if you sit for a long period of time, even if you are not "doing anything", it can cause hemorroids! (whether that is true or not, I don't know) - Needless to say, it hasn't stopped his long bathroom visits!

My daughter is taking after him too!

Okay, Okay.....yes, most of us have sat in that room longer than normal and sometimes with a magazine......hey, maybe it is our quiet place for the moment!

You all are cRaZy

.........but that is why I

you all!

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

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

Ever so tall, big head, stick thin! CRAZY!

I come from a family of TALL people (5'8-6'5) - on my father's side (no, I am not tall, I took after my mothers side

) None of them are a size 2!!! I couldn't imagine. I have a cousin that is about 6'2 (yes, tall for a girl) and skinny (looks skinny, VERY skinny) but she wears a size 8-10 and they fit well. So, knowing what she looks like and what she wears, I couldn't imagine someone who is 5'8 and a size 2!

Speaking of size: my husband and I were reading an article about a lady who last about 50 pounds and went from a size 16/18 (sometimes 20/22) to a size 2/4 and she weighed (I forgot what it was, but it was over 140), but we couldn't figure out how the measurements fit together.

OKAY, our bodies are all different, but when I was weighed 110-115, I was a size 5 (sometimes a 2 - depending on style of clothes). Anyway, we just thought that was odd!

I have lost 28 lbs and have only gone down maybe two sizes!

I would like to get rid of another 23 lbs to reach my goal weight, but I wonder how many sizes I will drop then? Weight lose is such a strange and tough area to conquer!

Just thought I would ramble alittle while.............

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!

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!

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!

I really didn't know that was true - I thought you had to "strain" (sorry

) to get those!

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

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!

BIG dog! He is good exercise! His long legs keeps us running!

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

red98vett · 07-13-2006, 03:43 AM

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')

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.

GeorgiesMomma · 07-13-2006, 05:45 AM

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 !

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.
