Indee, like being able to wrap yourself in a normal size bath towel, or crossing your legs under your desk!!!

Exercise and hair Care
I walk 4-5 miles Mon-Fri mornings with Leslie Sansone’s Walk away the Pounds series. Since my goal in 2012 is no relaxers I’m currently wearing a sew-in which I do over “my-self” every 3 weeks or so. I pull it in a high pony tail and get to working out. I make sure that I wash (clarify) and deep condition my hair when I do the sew-in over. How are you guys doing it?

You are new to the process, just remember the scale is not your friend, the measuring tape is lol. I gain weight periodically throughout the month for instance is it close to your "TOM" if so the weight gain could be Water retention. Don't panic if you are eating right and exercising the weight will come off.... the key is to stop watching the numbers Follow me on Twittwer @myworldalc

My Surgeon’s office just asked me to come in for a Photo Shoot, the want to have my before and after pictures on their new website. I’m so excited! They also asked that I write a testimony that they can use as well! Although I’m a little nervous about the before picture they may use lol!

Amen, my selfesteem issues led me into an abusive relationship for 8 years. I had to learn to love myslef more than I loved him and to love my children more than I loved myself. No amoumt of weight loss can teach us this lesson. Its time to get butt naked, stand in the mirror (open your eyes ) and say this is me!!!

Thank everyone for the support, I'll be sure to post the link for the website once it's up!

i can see why they chose you

Make sure you post the pics so we can see too

Yes, I report them everytime. I don't get the notifications anymore, but I can still see them when I look at my gallery...... just a little creeped out!

I totally agree with this post. My only solution to this problem is to wear a full sew in regualry which allows me more flexablity to work out and still mantain my style.
Thanks for sharing.

Congratulation on your happiness... and while your faith is inspiring do not short change yourself... YOU made the changes... perhaps your strong faith was the catalyst but YOU had to identify it before any changes would happen. That in itself is inspiring!

Honey so happy for you. Love yourself first. Love does not hurt. When it hurts it is no longer love. Dont look for love, let love find you. Then you will have true love. My husbands aunt was a widow for 30 years. She just now remarried because she let love find her and she is happy.

There are so many views about how often to weigh. I see many like to weigh everyday or twice a day. It would drive me crazy so weigh in once a week as well as set weekly goals. I know a gentleman in another group who has lost 250 lbs so far and he only weighs once a month at doctor visits. He likes the surprise. You just have to figure out what is best for you.

Those of you that need your scale to monitor your weight, Great Keep it. But I just don’t need mine anymore or at least not daily. I’ve become addicted to weighing myself everyday and it’s becoming a distraction and I can become discouraged when the numbers don’t change. The fact is the scale does not tell the whole TRUTH (at least for me If doesn’t). I’d rather use my monthly measurements because I tent to lose inches first. For example my weight has not changed for the last month but I’m down a pant size. Anyway maybe a divorce is a little extreme lol but we do need a little separation. I may just cut back to weighing myself weekly. Good Luck everyone!!

I just realized that there are two weeks out of the month where I don’t know what I weigh (my scale is very inaccurate) My TOM can cause at least 2-3 pounds of Water weight. And if I’ve been working out really hard, DOSMS (delayed on set muscle soreness) could cause water weight as well about 3-5 pounds. Interesting!!!! Towards the end of the month, my weight is back down to normal I can also see any additional weight that I’ve lost. Maybe I should divorce my scale because 2-3 weeks out of the month I have to rely on inches lost not my scale?
