5teamparlay,i appreciate your well wishes,but i must ask you one thing...how is takin a pill.helpin you to address your problem? what i found out was,i needed to learn how to eat right,and exercise...i tried the pills,but it didnt work for me...as soon as i quit takin them,my appetite came back,and i ate everything in the fkn house...the problem was,i hadnt identified the problem,much less,dealt with it......., found out, i was addicted to sugar,thats why my appetite was never satiated....id eat all day,every day,and i was never satisfied.....all that stopped.when i dropped sugar,and white flour,from my menu.....now that my body is back closer to normal,i can eat anything i want,because ive learned how to balance what i eat.....i have icecream or cookies,occasionally,but its after ive ate my protein and veggies......ftp,losin that weight is great....please take advantage of your momentum,and get out yer walkin shoes....i cant imagine, how dull, life would be,without my daily stroll..its as much a part of my life,as eatin and sleepin....'keep the continue'GREAT THREAD, very motivational. JUST FOUND it after I pooped GREEN (maybe my all protein diet>?) this morning and wanted to see if this was common and asked in this forum.
Well I went to a weight-loss doctor here in FLA on FRIDAY Aug 10 and was weighing 283.5, (I'm 6'3") they give pills and a B-12 shot in the arm one week later I'm at 270 (same scale official weigh in) when I weighed in at the office. 13.5 lost in one week I felt so good (the most they ever saw lost was 15 and they have seen 100's of patients there), I will have weekly visits and weigh in's. I'll update hopefully with success. CONGRATS TO YOU. My goal is 235 Short term. Then hope hope to gradually lose another 10 thereafter.
how wonderful,to be able to push your daughter around,in the stroller..it wont get any better than that....when my son was small,he loved to get on my back,while i did pushups,and pullups....hes 32 years old now,and occasionally.asks me do i remember that...very special......seen a guy the other day,joggin,while pushin his child in a stroller..wheeeeew.......i guess that would be strength training,and cardio,all in one.......hell of an exercise.....'keep he continue'The pills are just first to get one started, some multi-vitamins (as one is on a low carb diet to start off). One also has to drink a gallon of water a day as well at first. After that you are on the ZONE diet. Don't feel a bit hungry and have tons of energy. But the program does stress exercise as well. I have a pool and also love long walks with my 2 year old in the stroller.
Very motivated at this point. Will give an update friday.
