pasquini

Heck yes! What a transformation! Hottie!

Woot! Every mans dream, to be stuck in the mind of beautiful women. :-)

That is so freakin awesome!!!!!

I so hear you! Every time I drop 3 or 4 lbs I know not only will I stall but I will float up and down those same lbs for a bit. Ut can be maddening if we forget what us really going on in our bodies. And that it is just normal. It takes about 72 hrs for your body to actually turn anything you have eaten into fat if it is going to. So just remember that bad day isn't going in your waistline today. U have a few days to correct it. :-) so remember that that flux isn't actual wieght gain, it's just fluids and stuff and it will pass. Heck I think a crazy day once every 10 days or Sonia healthy. I can eat perfect if I know I get chocolate in 9 days. :-) So u had a bad day, u felt frustrated and ate bad, I bet it still wasn't anywhere near what eating whatever u wanted use to be! So take courage, relax, give yourself some grace and a pat on your back too! You deserve it! We work hard for what we are doing!! Now eat some Greek yougurt and get to the gym!

We all have them, and yes they can be infuriating. Currently I have been on an extended slow losing run for 6 weeks. Yes I get down, want to say to heck with it and just eat whatever and sometimes do. So here are some things that help my sanity. :-) feel free to add yours. Remember your body is in shock and completely new territory and is adjusting. This requires it to go against most of it's normal processes. So remember that at your caloric intake it can not last, it will eventually break the set points and natural ability to conserve resources. And you will lose. You made this choice for the remainder of your life, while we all want to wake up tomorrow at our sexiest weight and physically be able to do anything we want, it is a process and that will come. We are in for the long term benefits. Enjoy the ones that are already here and set some smaller goals so all progress is celebrated! Tied to that one above, remember sexy is a state of mind as well as physical While I'll admit, what straight man doesn't like Angelina Jolie? A woman that is confident in her body and carries herself with passion and determination is crazy alluring!!! We all have that passion and determination by the very choice we have made, I am a sexy man now *confident smile* and it is only gonna get better! Woot, *cue "hey Micky he's so fine" with a remake inserting Pasquini in place of micky* Stay focus on your eating plan. It will work, make sure you are writing everything down!!!!! Those carbs add up quick. I use daily burn on my iPhone the free version. This is huge!!! When the scale isn't cooperating, try to notice how your clothes are fitting, are they loser. Wile I have only lost 6lbs in 6 weeks, I am wearing some med shirts and can't wear the xl's I bought 6 weeks ago. Tape measures are helpful here, measure! Ladies remember you have your lovely hormones that fight you like Apollo Creed in the first rocky movie! They do not work in your favor. But they do make you captivating to us men, well 3/4's of the time . Remember in rocky 2 Apollo got his a$$ kicked! Your gonna beat those pesky hormone into submission. All loss is progress! All stable weight is progress! It means your not gaining! As we lose we are becoming the total package! All those years thinking my personality is so much better than hers/his. Well, we still have that and are on our way to the healthy body to match. And as someone else on here says Nothing Tastes As Good As Thin!!! Stay focused enjoy the ride and make it happen. Love you beautiful people! Pasquini And yes I am single

I have not posted lately. Between work, a funeral, and a slowly moving scale I have just not taken the time to write. However, enough of that crap! So I wanted to say to each of you fine friends out there, chin up! We are making our dreams happen! Sure the scale can be an a$$ and people not get it, however the flip side is we have made a drastic choice that really works!!!!!! to take control of our life and personal issues with food and do something to wrench control from our stomach and finally become on the outside who we are on the inside! What an amazing journey. Each of us are experiancing the things we dreamed of for years, and finding it even more marvelous than we imagined! So drink the dang fluids, eat some more Protein, stay focused! This is just the prelude to a glorious future that may have it's own issues but where we will have the strength and energy to chase our dreams and win!!! Love you all Pasquini!

That's soooo awesome. Nice work!

Welcome aboard. You'll find lots of helpful info here.

Woot!!!!! What a great moment!!!

Wow, women read sooo much into things ( no offense intended and you may well be reading it perfectly, but whew, all that has to be exhausting) For me, if I really believed it was a back handed invite, I would most likely not attend. Now if I thought the friend invited me because they wanted me there and still considered me a friend then I'd go. :-)

I drink several double shot cappuccinos daily. Coffee was on my clear liquid list. :-) who am I to argue with my DR. ? I do not count it toward my daily liquid. Heck, I roast my on coffee beans, so one might say I love coffee! Well good coffee anyway.

Sounds like u have a good idea there. I have been a bit burned out on the whole intense focus lately, so last week I just kinda didn't worry about anything, I'm gonna do the liquids for several days and then I will add back in my regular foods and hopefully see some progress.

Hmmm cheese burger and fries aye? Ok I'm in I'll let u know how that works.

Woot!!! Those are fabulous. Go you!!!

Wow, total hottie. Congrats

That's great. Congrats on the victory

Well, I spent 11 days losing nothing, finally lost 1 lb (which did bring me to 80lbs lost in 4 months. :-) but then two days later I am up 4 lbs. I'm not stressed, a stall is a stall, I have just stayed focused each time they come. But this one just feels different in how my body is responding. So I am gonna do about 5 days yogurt and protien shakes and even more liquid intake and see if that will shake things up, or, well, down in this case. :-)

Thx for sharing your journey. Looking forward to being where u are! Congrats

Everyone should blush occasionally :-)

Woot!!!!! So freakin awesome!!!

I would say because that pic is hot!! I'm single I can say that on here right? *super charming smile*

I haven't measured at all. But I have gOne from 50in jeans to 36 and some 34 jeans. :-)

You have done fantastic! It is interesting as I lose more I have become more "do I wanna tell them how". But I have stuck to my guns. I started this convinced it would work and wanting to be able to hopefully inspire/encourage others that may "need" this tool also. So I share how and make no appology :-) I love the inside me matching the outside me!!

I find myself smiling a lot. And blushing on occasion. :-) just not near cameras.

I was at a friends little ones bday party. They own a coffee shop soothe party was there during off hrs. So I was behind the counter making espresso and I hear my friend say "that's Pasquini" I look up a a woman who I have known for about 9 yrs, though I generally only see her a few times a yr. Is standing there talking to my friend and she says, "who?" my friend replies again, and she stares at me and then says "Oh MY God!!!! Wow, now if you want to reinvent yourself THAT is how to do it!" and goes on for a while about it to my friend. About 30 min later I hear my friend laugh and say "that's Pasquini, you know him. Yes you do, (mentions my kids names) no really" and laughs. some more. :-). A good moment
