Humiliated; and screamed at by that lady trainer! that poor guy looked like he was going to have a heart attack, the she was asking him if he enjoyed being fat! But when a person is as large as that man was there are limitation's on a what a person can do healthy with out stressing your heart, im sure deep down the guy would of tryed for more time but his body would not allow him too! maybe im wrong. what do you think?

  10. You can do it. I t takes time and first off, you have to break your old eating habbits. that can be tuff try one or two first week then work from there. weight loss is not easy if it was every body would be thin. the key is Exercising keep that up! GIRL!!!!! and drink more water! next time you feel that loss of control coming on slam a large glass of Water then eat some thing healthy take it slow.... you will get there it takes time.JOHNQ:clap2:
  11. Id take the kid and the girl first, to some place like Social services or Catholic Charities Bureau or even Lutheran Social Services help them find a place to stay.Because he not taking care of them! then ask him to leave,You have young kids there place in your home for dope,weed, pot ,what ever you want to call it. Its Illegal and get it out of your house.
  12. I think for my self! There are just to many factors to determine if I will never loss weight again. If I, was to go back into my old eating habits, LIFE STYLE Such as eating late at night,Hardees four time a week. four cans pop and candy bars Cookies all the other junk food out there. Id ballon right back up there in no time flat. I'am very carefull of my food intake for starters,if you want to keep the weight off you have to do some kind of exercise, or you could just starve your self keep the weight off! ( that is not directed at any one! ) or very low calories. Maybe Im wrong? I' myself plan on staying healthy its a job some times but it is worth it.( Ive found my fountain of youth through Exercise) ,And I plan to stay healthy even if it kills me. hehe. I was FAT for twenty years........ the next twenty years by choice I will be thin. because I enjoy my freedom from all that fat! and I look Good! I no that is being conceded but when I get up every morning now, I see a new face! In the mirrow, and I just smile. Im happy healthy and that is all that matters. Take care hope you can keep all the weight off, and im glad to hear your thinking postive.JOHNQ
  13. Muscle mass weighs more then Fat! The trick is to keep your muscle mass,while lossing weight or even building as you go! But your going to have to do some kind of carideo program, with light weights. ( YOU CAN TONE UP WILL LOSSING )strenghting your muscles. The key is a balanced diet, proper nutrition and EXERCISE! also helps to know what calories you can loss at. JOHNQ
  14. JOHN YOUR NOT A FAILURE! YOU HAVE LOST 40 POUNDS THUS FAR.You can do it if you really want to loss weight.It will be hard for you,but you can. Im sorry for your trouble you are having.

  15. the very first thing! keeps me accountable in check.
  16. We must be twin's! I think it important to keep a Joural of your food intake calorie's and calories burned. I look at the scale at that will determine, what I' have to do for the day.
  17. I was reading this in WEBMD thought this may help! WRITE IT DOWN.Buy a weekly calender,or use what's already handy and turn it into your own personal Fitness coach. KEEP IT SIMPLE. Pick only one or two activities and save variety for later. worried you will get bored? listen to music or books on tape. DO IT FIRST. Exercise in the morning.That way,it won't hang over you all day! Morning typically has fewer distractions. TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF.Don't think too much about exerciseing-just do it! that was from webmd they are almost as good as me hehe. John's tip's for the week! Buddy up, find some to work with that way you can work off them ( they push you and you push them) Get the family involved it fun, and your spending time together! Start slow don't kill your self or over do it,That way you will never injure your self. Keep track of the weight you loss, Its important it helps to remind you "I can do this! Make sure you get enough Water before, during, and after to keep you hydrated and helps your mettabolism, producing engery and growth. and helps you feel full! Join some thing or kind of group or class, because it helps you get motivated and competition is good for some people. well take care hope that you are all losing weight!
  18. I' Watch my calorie intake very very close,Witch work's for me,However, im not on a diet Just what I' like to call it Self............( RESTRICTION ).....I try to watch all the Junk food that we buy! because I am the one who is responable for the Junk my kids eat,I try always to feed them fruit and any thing healthy! One day a week like friday I will allow my self to go over my limit and have a big fat piece of chocolet cake? or some thing, Because this way Im not fighting the (HEAD DEMONS) and it works for me. butting getting back to the post in hand, if you don't have the( JUNK food ) around to eat then you don,t have to worrie about eatting eat. eather! Good luck hope that you are all losing weight!JOHNQ
