Hi Ladies-

I know I was M.I.A for a lil again.. Long story short my soon to be EX-husband got a little psycho, I'm in process of moving, and was on Stress leave for a little too.

but ANYWAYS... besides all the drama..

I started in a Tae-bo class- its SUPER INTENSE! and.... here's the kicker!! I'm at goal weight 190 BUT its at exactly 190 sooo I don't want to call Dr. Park yet till I hit at least 185 so I can make sure no weight fluctuates and messes my whole thing up.. BUT yay I'M HAPPY on that part. Alot of the reason why I wasn't able to lose weight before-although I worked out.. was.. due to Stress. But ever since I started this Tae-bo class.. I don't know what it is.. but it just gave me a SUPERCHARGE that I needed sooo badly~

anyways, i'm sorry for not being on here more than I would like... but I wanted to let you guys know what my status is.. Hope everyone is doing good!!

Good Morning Ladies!

ok my DIM SUM DILLEMA..

I actually did good considering all the carbs it all had.

I had one small shrimp dimsum

2 pcs of small asparagus

1/4 cup or probably less of Tofu with chicken

for dinner I had 1 small piece of chicken breast baked and half a banana

I've been drinking ALOT OF Water and I notice that really helps alot..:scared2:

Tonight might be a lil difficult, one of my friends in the military is here for the long weekend and they wanna go out to dinner.. Where ever we go.. i'm stickin with a Soup or salad... its just the ALCOHOL part.. I like drinking with friends.. but I feel like i'm on a good roll I don't wanna mess it up.. but in the same token.. I wanna have a drink or 2.. uggh.. We'll see.. I think I might have 1 hard drink.

Anyways... HAPPY FRIDAY!! YAY!! LONG WEEKEND IS HERE!!!!

Hey hey Lovely People!!

I've been working super hard and sticking to my diet..I had to reprogram my brain because couple weeks back I was eating EVERYTHING.. now.. NOT ANYMORE.

ok so I was able to stick to 1000 calories yesterday.. OMG that was rough especially when I went to my mama's house and she had FRESH MADE LUMPIAS- the little ones (we call them shang-hi lumpias) anyways.. I ate 2 and I felt sooo guilty about it and (cuz they're deep fried) decided that was my dinner. So this morning I woke up at 3:30am went straight to the gym and did 3 1/2 miles on the elliptical.

BUT!!! after my work out I got on the scale.. I'm at 196!!!!! YEA BABY!!! 6 MORE TO GO!!!

Thanks Ladies for reminding me.. Tamara you had it rough and you still made it! So I know I can do it too :thumbup:

Ok so here's my Dillema today.

at around 11:45 my boss is taking our whole group to DIM SUM..

Can anyone give me any pointers or advice on how to stay on track? Dim sum is steamed but there are all these diffrent types and.. I just don't wanna blow this.. so yeah any pointers tips or anything will help!

anyways ok - hope everyone has a great day and thanks in advance!!!

PAT!!! I didn't know you got yours too!!! aww Congrats Ladies!!! I'm sorry if I missed anyone else...

DANG!! HELLO ANALYNN!!! EARTH TO ANALYNN!!!

I wasted soo much time.. But i'm jus gonna brush the dirt off my shoulders.. and I'm DOIN THIS!! :thumbup:

Ok so I need to be consistant... so I'm going to TRY and start writing what I ate/did today..

B-half a chicken breast sandwich on wheat

L-other half of sandwich

D-1 cup of bitter melon and shrimp

S-Sugar free popsicle

30- min on stairclimber "fat burner mode"

25- min on elliptical 2.93 miles

5- min on ab circle pro

I emailed Dr.Park and let her know where I'm at and my weight and everything. She emailed me right back and told me she wants me to start a 1000 calorie diet now.

So... I start that now.

I wanted to go to the meeting sooo BAD this month but that's the day i'm performing for Kaiser I'm not sure about the time though so If its later on in the day I'LL DEFINATELY BE THERE!!

It feels good to be back... *sigh* ~.~

Hey Ladies!

ok i've been doing my excercise and watching what i've been eating 2 weeks ago when I weighed myself I was at 206 today I weighed myself i'm at 198!!!!

I hope all you ladies are doing well I TRIED to catch up on this thread but theres jus too much! so when is everyone gonna meet up again?

p.s. CONGRATS NICOLE!!! damn.. NOW I'M REALLY motivated!

hey ladies Just wanted to say Thanks.. i'm hanging in there.. I don't know what the heck is wrong with me I know writing my feelings is theraputic but I feel ashamed sometimes about what i'm going thru and my failures... its just been so rough.. and im just trying to hold my head up.. SOOO I know if I just keep on writing on here - I know that it helps keep me on track and plus hearing it from you ladies makes a tremendous diffrence

I've been slowly but surely getting back on track with my workouts, stair, eliptical, and I just bought the AB CIRCLE pro- so I've been switching my workout with those 3 along with my Hula practices which used to be for an hour 1/2 a week is now bumped up to 3 hours a week-

My eating- I'm getting there - i admit I had tater tots this morning... SO BAD. So, i'll try and burn it off tonight when I workout.

thanks for bearing with my rants and raves...

ohhh!

I'll be performing for the new KAISER building opening up in Vallejo I'll give more details if anyones interested!

Hi ladies! I just heard about all the good things going on in here... I'M SOO PROUD OF YOU GUYS!! ESPECIALLY TAMARA!! YOU GO GIRL!!

I've pretty much been on an EMOTIONAL roller coaster Long story short my soon to be Ex husband wanted to try to work it out one last time.. STUPID ME.. how many times does it take to get beaten before I realize my life and my kids life is worth more than this.. N e ways.. Finally my DIVORCE has been filed, and I get my emergency restraining order today from the judge.. and NOW thank GOD this bad trip is over.. lots of PERSONAL family issues... Anyways.. yeah that set me back BIG TIME.. i like to think I didn't quit.. just got STALLED. And I KNOW i really need to just focus HARD on what I REALLY want in life. My pre-op goal weight is still at 190 and I have about 13lbs to lose.. YES it sucks to start all over, but It would suck more if I DON'T. Its been really hard, and I really thank you ladies for the continued encouragement. LORD knows.. I NEED IT! oh and I changed my # again i'll be texting you ladies that have it soon. Miss you guys!

No chance to read anything yet-just a quick update. We climbed Diamond Head today. Wow. Talk about a workout! I'm so proud of us. Eating has been crazy but I'll get back on track on the mainland. Miss my ladies!

OMG..Did you jus say DIAMOND HEAD? awww.. my heart just dropped.. I MISS THAT PLACE SOOO MUCH! If you're daring enough got to Waimea Beach in North Shore.. there's a huge rock you can jump off of... SOOO FUN!

Anyways- Hi ladies.. Yes I've been gone again forawhile.. this time I got REALLY sick and was Bedridden for about 4 days.. which HIGHLY UPSET me because it totally threw me off track... Why is this SOOO HARD FOR me right now?! I can't understand it?!!!

well hopefully everyone else is doing good.. jus wanted to say hello!

Hi ladies!! Whose going to Hawaii?? which Island?? let me know if you have any questions! I can tell you were the best beaches and shopping and DOLLAR movie theater is at!

Mmmm Hawaii.. I miss it!

As far as the 12th of December I won't be able to make it.. I'm performing the hula for a Parkinsons disease chartiy event in Vallejo. If you ladies are interested to watch let me know! We're selling tickets I think $10 for jus the show and $25 for show and meal. Otherwise I'll be posting pictures of it later.. (I can meet on the 13th!)

I can't wait till this is over that way I can at least go to the Richmond meeting next month.

THIS WHOLE WEIGHT LOSS THING.. is such a struggle.. I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M AT.. in life.. I work out like crazy.. but I eat like a cow, i'm pathetic:redface:... I seriously need to get back on track and focus.. but I just feel so overwhelmed with all the other hectic CRAP i have to go thru in life... Riley.. i'm tryin to re-wire i really am.. I jus need more UMPH in me... Thanks Tamara & Candra for the Fat fast diet..i'll try it...its jus... right now.. i feel like i'm sooo done trying... but i don't wanna give up....

I Love Zumba and am up for it ANYTIME!! Tamra JUST DO IT!!! They turn off the lights its all good. I wish I could come do it with you so you arent alone... We should find one in the middle and do it....

Have a great day everyone...

Went to the movies to see New Moon last night and didnt cheat at all... YAY I sure was tempted but I held strong lol.... Woke up this am, down 2 lbs so glad I didnt cheat lol.... :bored:

you go girl!(off subject- was New Moon what you expected? I'm gonna see it tonight and jus wanted to know)

Hey I wanna do zumba too!!! I know they do it in the Vallejo 24 but i'm just not sure which days... I'm gonna look it up..

Aloha everyone! I hope you guys are having a good Friday.

sorry I haven't been on here lately jus been taking care of family issues/buisness.

Jus wanted to let you all know i'm still up and running and most importantly RE-FOCUSED:cool:.

I kinda almost gave up when I saw that my weight had gone up to 204:frown: again, but I had to take a stepback and re-collect myself... I didn't come this far for nothing and for DAMN sure i'm not gonna QUIT... so to jump start myself, I did a Detox liquid diet, and jus been eating 1 low carb meal a day. I think that has helped ALOT .

so ok can someone give me a quick re-cap on when we might all get together?:bored:

Hi Everyone. I'm sorry I didn't make it.. I was ready and everything.. then I had a family issue to take care of and it screwed up pretty much my whole day.

I feel like i'm losing focus on my goal.

and it makes me not like myself too much.. uggh.. I wish I would've made it.. I sooo need the support group booster.

Well i'm glad you all had a goood time.. hopefully I will make the next one.. I'm just going thru soo much right now. i'm hoping by this week I could get back on track..

I sooo need to get back on track..i've been working out but the eating habits are.. uggh.. not so good... so.. today I start my liquid shake and low carb diet...

ok whats this about Dancing and gay bar?? !!! I wanna go!!!

Hi everyone..

sorry I've been missing in action.

My grandfather passed away late last week..

I was suppose to accompany my mom to the Philippines but due to the Grievment time i'm allowed.. the time I did have -wouldn't work out because we would have to stop and stay in Japan.. soooo to make a long story short... my mom told me not to worry about going.. and that I should just use my time and do something else.. so I took her advice... and ended up going to Miami then Jamaica...

it was sooooo needed.. but UGGH... that Jerk chicken got to me...:redface:.. Instead of only needing to lose 4 more lbs... I'm now back to my 7lbs again... BUT I'M STILL DETERMINED.. I just needed a break.. from literally everything.. I SOO NEED TO GO TO A SUPPORT GROUP OR SOMETHING.. I feel all whacked out.:cursing:

Well jus wanted to let everyone know i'm still here.. just trying to get back on track again..

Ah, Analynn - so good to see you on girl - I was getting worried about you! You down for the 14th?

Hi all you beautiful People!! And thanks for the concern..Whats goin on, on the 14th? Hey Candra.. its Hula/tahitian night!!! come over if you wanna try it out or just watch!!

I had a very EMOTIONAL weekend:crying:.. too much drama.. (MY soon to be ex-husband wants to reconcile) AND my best friends son possibly might have the swine flu:frown:.. he's been sick with a 101 fever since Saturday and it hasn't let down. They brought him into the hospital yesterday but was told, that unless they have to admit him, thats when they'll test him for the H1N1 BUT as of now.. they sent him back home and told her that he is a possible 50/50 H1N1.. I don't understand the protocol or process of how they're doing this but.. alot of people are going into hospital because of the swine flu scare but most of the cases are just the regular flu.. Its a scary time right now.. jus pray its just the regular flu.

Anyways.. I didn't have ANY alcohol this weekend and I finally realized or umm.. YEAH.. no more alcohol (wine, tequilla shots) for me .. for AWHILE :scared2: BUT its ok because I found out that, that was the reason WHY i've been see-sawing on this whole weight issue.. " duh! HELLO ANALYNN!!" I'm still working my BA dunk a dunk dunk off and I think i'm starting to reap the full benifits of my workout now that i'm jus stickin to Protein and no alcohol.... I really JUST HAVE TO STAY FOCUSED.. ok enough of my brain fart on here.. so what's going on, on the 14th again? and whats this about 2 fly guys.. what is that? sounds like fun to me! LOL j/k:wink:

Happy FLY-DAY Friday!:w00t:

Sorry I've been missing in action.. Goin thru some "EMOTIONS or Motions:crying::closedeyes::sneaky:" in life..

ok I SERIOUSLY NEED SUPPORT SO i'm going to try and be there tomorrow for the support Group. Anyone else gonna be there?? (I GET TO BE WITH THE COOL LAPBAND KIDS THIS TIME!!) lol j/k

ok my current weight.. FIRST OFF before I state where i'm at in life.. can I just say.. I HATE ALL WEIGHT SCALES.. and YES its partly because of my fault.. but i'm running an average of 5lbs between the regular scale at the Gym, the Digital Weight watchers scale here at work, and then the old school scale at my mama's.. I'M either 200 lbs even or 195.7. I'm becomming OCD on the weight scale thing and I DON'T LIKE IT ALL..

I did one day of liquid diet and it was surprisingly .. not that bad.. soo I'm thinking i'm gonna do it again for this weekend and see how that works. GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH.

ohh I wanted to ask.. I'm looking into buying my vitamins.. but I don't want to spend too much.. and I'd like to be able to buy it at Walmart or Target oppose to ordering on line.. can anyone give me a suggestion on Good cheap Multivitamins? and how much do I take.. and what else will I need? (calcium, etc..)

ok ladies and Gents, looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow!

The good Lord blesses all of us in different ways, therefore we have to bless someone else no matter how big or how little..

Amen! Amen!:cursing:

Hey Ladies,

Ok is this really possible?? am I dreaming??? :thumbdown: I weighed myself trice (3'xs) just to make sure. OHHH PLEASE LET MORE COME OFF... OHH AND PLEASE ALMIGHTY GOD.. LET IT JUST BE MY BACK FAT AND NOT my love bubbles.. haha.. j/k. :sad:

Happy Friday Everyone!:eek:

ok so I didn't hit my goal and i'm disappointed in myself but I'm not gonna let that stop me... My measurements are going down.. especially in my BOOBS AREA:sad: but the weight is still the same!!!:w00t:

Ok, so what am I gonna do diffrent = no alcohol for me on the weekends anymore. and I REALLY HAVE TO STOP SNACKING.. ok I admit it.. I've been snacking and its a big NO no:bored: but I can't help it sometimes:unsure:.. and I KNOW THIS is all just a mental thing cuz My tummy isnt really hungry:huh2:... so I gotta set that in my head now.. NO SNACKING.. even if it isn't carbs.. it all adds up.. (SIGH):scared2:

Anyways.. I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!:wink2:

Good Morning Everyone!:thumbup:

WOW:w00t: I missed alot.. hope everyone's week is going good.

I'm soo upset with myself:cursing: because I'VE SERIOUSLY been workin my ASS off.. and it just feels like nothing is changing:frown:.. and whats even worst I'm still waiting for my monthly friend:blink: I usually get it right in the begininng of the month and now i'm all wacked out and I feel SOOOO BLOATED:blushing:.. My Cravings are SKY ROCKET:scared2:, I get super emotional watching anything from the morning news to a the Home shopping network:crying:.. I'm a mess. Or I feel like it..
