    chitowngirl reacted to Dooter in Dr.'s Scale? Bring It On! An Actual Scale Victory...   
    I've always hated weighing at the doctor, because for one thing, I was always higher than the last visit. And...my home scale was always 5 lbs lighter than any other scale on the planet (but I still insisted it was correct and THEY were wrong). Noooowwwww however, one surgery, and one new scale later....I have them shuffling through their paperwork muttering.... "wait a minute...that can't be right.....this says.....wait....you couldn't have lost... WHAT???" HAHAHAHA I love it!!!! Most doctors only see sick people. I've gotten to see the cardiologist and family doc get all happy because I'm getting HEALTHIER! Pretty good feeling folks. Wouldn't you agree??

    Today is the day I got to wave goodbye to the 300's....I am offically in TWONDERLAND and it is amazing. I haven't been here for over 15 years and it just brought tears to my eyes when I stepped on the scale today. I am so thankful that I have done this and it has gone so smoothly. The only regret is that I didn't do it years ago.

    Practice eating slow and chewing ASAP. I didn't realize how much of a challenge this would be postop. I wish I would have made the adjustment pre op.

    Ok, so this morning I was doing my normal post workout shower. Planned on going swimming tonight and shaved as well. I shave EVERYTHING. For the first time in maybe in 10 years I was able to SEE what I was shaving... Not just by feeling. Had to share. Figured some would understand my excitement. lol

    Wow ...
    Not being able to wear my favorite fat pants is a downside ...
    Having to take leftovers home from a restaurant is a downside ...
    Believing everybody hates me not because I am fat ...
    Uhhh ... there are other issues in that poster's life. But they are correct. Losing weight does not fix all of your issues. It would appear they thought they would.

    chitowngirl got a reaction from Julie76 in Relationship Troubles   
    Oh... Relationships are hard. Living with someone is even harder. First I'd ask myself if I was ever in love with this person and if I ever found him attractive. I tend to feel like I went along with relationships, because I didnt know how or when to stop. When you think about your long term future lets say 5-10 years from now, is he part if it. Also I tend to be very straight up wig my husband, if he does something that pisses me off or grosses me out, or just makes me unhappy in general, I tell him very bluntly and matter of fact. Men really need bluntness, they do t get hints no matter how in your face they are. So let's say about his health, next time he complains about it, I would tell my husband hey either do something about it or shut up. I know it's mean, but hey when the **** hits the fan, he can't say I didn't tell him. So my advice is to be honest with him. I also have told my husband that he needed to step it up, because I wasn't happy. My husband does get pissed but I don't wait until we are in an argument or anything, I don't yell, I just say it. 95% of the time my husband steps it up. I hope this helps.

    So you know how sometimes the weight can't come off fast enough, and we tend to convince ourselves that 1,2 or 3 pounds a week isn't enought. Well today I went for a 10 mile bike ride, and let me tell you, I felt the difference. I'm down 50# from my highest weight, but wow the difference in my stamina and endurance is amazing. I just had to throw it out there get physical and if your mind won't let you see your physical changes your body sure does let you feel them. I love my sleeve.

    chitowngirl got a reaction from sdb1147 in Any Recommendations For A Treadmill?   
    I actually bought mine from hsn. It's the proform proshox elite 2. I paid $1000 for it, but that was well over a year ago. Itself was my first experience with the hsn, and I love it I did 4 payments of $250 delivery was free. Anyhow I love my treadmill and when I was looking at hsn they did have very similar ones as far as the brand in your price range. I use my treadmill as well as my husband and son, it's still going strong. So on my treadmill it is just as good as the ones in the health clubs, maybe better because mine is ifit compatible, and it has speakers that you can hook your iPod/mp3 to. The incline is insane I wanna say it goes upto 12. My son runs like upto 7mph and it's sturdy as heck. Also mine has an extra long belt (I have long legs) and it was able to support 300-350 pounds.

    I feel ya... The gym is kinda boring. Have you tried walking outside. I've personally started bike riding. Take advantage of the weather, also it helps if you plan it with someone. So plan a walk with a friend, spouse or sibling. This way it's not so easy to wiggle your way ou of.
