Mamas or soon to be mamas who are morbidly obese, lets be buddies!

[Eve]

Oh Helen I am so sorry you're dealing with someone like that That's not fair to you nor your OH at all and if she had respect for her son, she wouldn't speak about you like that at all I wish I were closer and didn't have a massive ocean between us, because I'd love to go walking etc... with you! You can always PM me on here or FB too if you ever need to talk and I can do my best to help The weight loss road isn't a smooth one and there are many curves, dead ends, and horrible bumps along the way but sooner or later, you will find the best route for you!

 

[mummy_ellie09]

Thanks Eve. It really hurt, as we used to get on so well

Believe me I wish there wasn't an ocean between us too, I could do with a friend right now. I'm not saying I have none, just none I can talk to like I can on here

 

[hello_kitty]

Wow 23.2 lbs down today Eve! I am so jealous of you!! Wish I had the same motivation.

Mummy_ellie - I wish I was closer to you as well, I need a workout partner who is in the same boat as me and it's really hard to find the right workout partner around here. I totally understand what you mean by being pissed off and mad at yourself, I feel that Every.Single.Day. It's upsetting because everything is in my control, I can change my life if I wanted to but instead I let food control my life.

Today I have class all day so I haven't eaten much, but I am getting hungry and that probably means I will be famished by the time I get home and will have a giant bowl of carbs...I need to start bringing snacks on Thursdays.

HK it has taken me a lot to get here, and I mean a lot. I struggle with anxiety and depression on a daily (sometimes down to the minute) basis and this is one thing I can change right now, so I feel like I need to if you know what I mean? Food has controlled my life for too many years, and it's still on my mind more often than not but I feel ready this time.

Ugh that's the worst thing to do, is end up famished before getting to eat because you then will crave anything and everything bad for you!! I know that happens to me sometimes too and I am so tempted to eat whatever I can grasp! You should alway have a few healthy snack options on hand

 

[hello_kitty]

Sorry about your depression and anxiety eve, but glad you're in control of your weight now.

Yesterday i came home hungry but...the broth was spoiled dh forgot to put it away, so i didnt have much to eat. At night he brought home chicken teriyaki from him restaurant and we split it in half so it wasnt so bad.

This morning i had 2 pieces of toast with 2 eggs, so off to a good start at least for the day.

 

[Eve]

Love Love Love eggs! So delicious. I'm just having my second cup of coffee and will then make some breakfast (mind you it will be lunch time).

Sorry the broth was spoiled but sharing the dinner sounds yummy and nice!

 

[Dimples81]

You are doing so well ! Wish I could get back in the zone.

 

[mummy_ellie09]

That's another 3lbs on, within 5 days

 

[hello_kitty]

Aww mummy_ellie, I am so sorry. Hopefully you get back on track soon. Its hard, I know. On the days that I eat like a horse, I cant lose anything. I am very glad that it stays the same, but its frustrating not to see the numbers go down. I've been doing good today, but its our wedding anniversary so we're having a nice dinner tonight and forgetting about eveything else, so I dont expect to see any loses tomorrow.

 

[mummy_ellie09]

I guess the chips at the play centre and then McDonald's afterwards on Saturday didn't help lol but I'm still really disappointed with myself. I feel that not only am I letting myself down, but also Joshua and Liam

 

[hello_kitty]

Mummy_ellie. I've been there too many times, I understand. When I buy mcd for my kids, I cant help but order something for myself too. Its a lot harder when you have little ones because you always want what they are having.

So I weighed myself this morning and I am literally back to square one. 233.8 lbs and my starting weight was 235. My husband woke me up last night to eat dinner because I had school for the day and didnt get to eat much so he cooked dinner and woke me up. Thats probably why I ended up weighing more today.

Anyway, restarting the low carb diet. Had myself a beef salad this morning. Will be doing some dancing exercises in a bit and eat a small apple for snack. Lunch will be 2 whole eggs with some cantaloupe. Dinner will be grilled chicken salad. Hopefully I can cut off eating by 8 pm. I am tempted to weigh myself tomorrow morning but I will probably wait until next wednesday to do it. Seeing the numbers is depressing.

Is it too late to join you ladies? I am stuck in a rut and need someone to keep me on track. A bit of background info. Before i had my daughter i lost around 40lbs doing a form of atkins but quickly put it back on during pregnancy. Then before i had my son i knew i had to lose weight so i lost 80lbs (calorie counting) and finally, even though was still overweight, i was happy with how i looked. Pregnancy helpes me gain 40lbs back again and since i have had my son i have yoyo up and down. I am now weighing 225lbs (219lbs after i had my son). Today is my first day back on it and i so want to stick to it until christmas. My goal would be 210lbs for christmas but we will see.

 

[topsy]

Hi Girls... I am back too weighing almost my starting weight.

I hate how food controls me. I eat when i am happy and reward myself with food i eat when i am sad to cheer myself up.

My depression, BPD, anxiety and voices are out of control and I am sure a lot of my depression is due to my weight

I hate who I am and how I look Its a constant battle not to binge eat... but look where that has got me an unhealthy 25 stone.

I have been back on SW for just over a week. I HAVE to stick to it.

Girls I need help?

xxxx

 

[Eve]

Oh Helen, you'll get there.

HK- Low carb works if you can stick to it. I love bread and pasta too darn much lol I just can't give them up, even short term.

Weewdy! Welcome and good luck on your weight loss journey!

Topsy- You're doing well.. you need to remember that. It's going to take time but you will be able to get there. I'm so sorry you've been feeling so down though I wish I could help!

 

[Eve]

I'm finally under 200 pounds! Hit my second mini-goal this morning! I'm so glad the scales finally moved for me!

 

[topsy]

Yay eve hun well done xxx

 

[hello_kitty]

Way to go Eve!! Wow only 39 lbs to go!

I am still struggling here. I got down to 230.6 at one point but gained it back. I also love my carbs too much to cut it out. Eve, although you are not eliminating carbs but you are still limiting it in a way right since you are counting calories?

I also need to start hitting the gym again. I was supposed to see my doctor this Tuesday for a check up, but decided not to because I'm scared that I'll be diagnosed with something due to my weight. I also need to remind myself to eat only when I am hungry and not eat just because I feel like it.

 

[mummy_ellie09]

WTG Eve!!

 

[Eve]

198.2 this morning I was starting to think I would sit at the 201 mark forever

Yeah, I watch what I eat with carbs. I still have pasta, and breads but I buy whole wheat weight watchers bagels (love them) and pasta is whole wheat too. my breakfasts are usually always-

WW bagel with 1-2 eggs and low calorie margarine
eggs, WW toast, some fruit and a yogurt
The odd time I wil have high protein oatmeal at 260 calories
I just bought special K protein cereal and will give that a try too the odd time.

Lunches are whole wheat flatbread wraps with lean chicken lunch meat, low calorie mayo, and veggies (sometimes a treat of swiss cheese )

Suppers are things like chili, spaghetti, lasagna, or chicken/pork chops with potatoes and veggies and salads. I buy those mini potatoes for myself and I do weigh them. 140 calories I can have 7 or 8

If I work out and am very active, I can have some WW sweets and/or popcorn. I also have coffee in the morning (usually 2) with skim milk or cream.

 

[mummy_ellie09]

Well I think I've worked out my downfall - bread. I had 2 slices as toast for breakfast, 2 slices with my cup-a-soup for lunch as well as a crust with peanut butter
