crappy week

short post! I did nothing . I lost nothing. I ate everything!!

Hiya...so sorry

I have been busy moving into my new place in a new city, so I am sitting between a 100 boxes typing...

diet is on hold....work out on hold....give me a week I will be back

Congrats on allt he weight loss!! Thats awesomeee...

How are you??

As salaamu alaikum,
I know your probably really busy this is the middle of the work week. I just wanted to stop in and give salaams and see how your week is going? I am hanging in there. talk to you soon

Finally

I lost a little more than 2 kilos. I guess that is around 5lbs. About time. It is strange that i lost only after i ate some carbs. I ate that pumpkin soup and the scale moved. go figure. anyway i will not do the meat and veggies thing anymore i have to have some voriety. I guess i am like a man.....lol....anyway we will c what happens next week.

no more south beach 4 me!!

this is not for me. I tel u God bless the ones that can do ti but it is not 4 me. I am breaking out all over my face. I am not feeling good. I do not go to the bathroom like i used to. I will go back to what i know works for me. It may be slow but oh well. at least I will feel better.........I wont be like SOME people losing 10 lbs a week....lol.. but it is ok. today I ate pumpkin soup and I fell better already. I do not think my body can take no sugar or carbs. I have low blood sugar already. I think my body is not meant for all this meat either. I just feel like i am going to keel over and have a heart attack any day now. I am sick of eggs............everyday eggs........... yuck. and i ate so much chicken i am about to cluck. just give me my soups and beans. my veggies and very little meat. i will be ok.

I will just do my machine and go to the gym for classes 2 times a week. something has to fall off. hopefully it will be my stomach.........

WAY TO GO!!!!!

I am soooo happy that your hanging in there. Keep up the good work and I KNOW its not easy but try not to let the scale get to you. Your daughters body is alot less complex than yours, my kids can eat and eat and eat and eat and it does not change them in any way. I USED to be like that prior to having a husband and family, now I live in the real world where everything that I put in my mouth shows up on the scale..ITS SOOO NOT FAIR, but this is my battle. We all have a battle and mine happens to be food and the quest to be skinny, well not skinny I just want to be the size I was prior to having 9 children and I would like to get there before I have 10 children,lol. I am here for you girl. I CAN DO IT and SO CAN YOU!!!!!!!!
Love you and anyone else out there going thru this with us.
talk to you soon

south beach

My daughter and I started the South beach diet Friday. She has already lost 4lbs. I have not seen the scale move a bit. I have worked out on this crazy machine and she does nothing......I tell you life is not fair!!!! anyway. I do feel good about sticking to something I have worked out 25 mins. everyday. I geel so much better. I just hope to see this scale go down soon. I know 4 days is not a long time but when the book says you will lose 8-14 lbs in 2 weeks I expected to see some progress by now. Inshaallah soon..........

I DID IT

I recently got an elipitcal machine. I got on it once an dit wore me out in 2 mins. I felt very sad and it just bursted my bubble. I had big dreams for this machine. well this mornign I did 25 mins. I feel so good. I have so much energy. I feel full of life.
I was sweating and wanted to quit but i didnt. i stayed on there and did my time. I plan on addign 5 mins until i get up to an hour. Then i will increase my speed then the intensity.
I am so happy I got this machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

21 days

thats how long it takes to make something a habit...thats all I have to do...mkae it 21 days with going to the gym and then it will be habit...right??

God i hope so!! because I hate the mental fight I have with myself everyday as I get close to the gym...its just like should I go or should I just go home...put my feet up on the couch and relaxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...and then the station approachs where I have to get off for the gym...and the doors open and alwyas right at the last moment, I jump out...so far that is...

its been 6 days of working out, and believe me Im struggling and aching in places i didnt know existed...hahahaha...

21 days...

21 days...

21 days...

i can do this... I can so do this!!! this time I am not going to give up.... not at all...I have given up everytime, each day, so quickly I just let it all go away.. and gain another 5 pds...lose 2 pds gain 5 pds... no good, not anymore..

Today at the gym, I actually liked how I looked in the mirror, I loved the sweat pouring down my face, my shirt sticking to my back, my breathe barely coming, as i stepped, stepped, stepped my way to a skinny me...

but then of course i came home, and had to shovel a piece of choc cake into my mouth really fast....argh!!!

but inshallah!!! ill get there....

why did I do it

I saw it coming but did nothing to stop it. I at soooooooooooooo many cookies I am full. My daughter is into fixing things all of a sudden. Now it is cookies. She made oatmeal cookies. they were so soft, so chewy, I had to eat them. they were calling my name. I knew when i went to the store for her I would do this but i told myself . it is OK i will be strong....NOT!!!!! So now i am sitting here with a full stomach not from food but cookies.........

Welcome to the group

Welcome to the group. Inshaallah we will encourage eachother. I know losing weight is not easy!!!!! but if we work together it will not seem as hard. I have been overweight for a long time. I have been losing weight slowly for a year now. But now I am goign to take more aggressive action. I will not give up. I will not allow my husband to make me eat. He loves to go out and bring home sweets that I love. He thinks this makes me happy, it does but after I eat up everything I am depressed.
I will do exercise 5 days a week. this one I have not been doing. I have a heart problem and I know it is in my head but I sometimes get scared when my heart rate goes up and think ok i am goign to die. I HAVE to get over this.
All I ask is that you post at least once a week. This will keep the group movign a long. Tell us how you are doing . YOu good dayas as well as the bad. We all need to know we are nto alone. We all bing or crave food that are no good for us. We all have good days and it is goot to share them with others. it will make you keep going and have more good days.


Oh, And one big thing, please excuse my spelling I type faster than my brain goes and my fat fingers hit the wrong keys......
I hope to see you posting soon

dead blog

I started this blog as a group blog. I have had two people post one time. It seems to me that no one wants to take part in this. I had hoped this would be a way to keep up with each other, help each other, and encouraqge each other. However this is not the case. If we do not start posting I will make this a closed blog and that will be the end of it.

Thank you

On a good note I lost 3 lbs last week.
