This might be just what I need. I'll get on the scale and update this later with whether or not I've lost/gained in the past week.

On edit: I'm down 1 1/2 pounds. But since I was up a pound last week I will count it as -.05.

What do we win?

I just don't care anymore. My body WANTS to be 25 lbs overweight. I CAN lose it, but keeping it off requires CONSTANT effort, running 3 nights a week, and eating F*CKING Lean Sh*Tsine every night.
And the weird thing about the extra 25 is- I don't gain anymore than that. My body apparently is at home at 185. As much as I enjoyed 160, HONESTLY, it wasn't worth all the extra work(well, I did get laid a little more, without trying, but still....).
At the end of the day, nobody's gonna love you any more, just because you're in great shape.

Now, I eat what I want.
I drink what I want.
I don't get any bigger.
And I'm okay with that!

Yeah, welcome to set point. I have to at least do something though or I hate the way I feel and look. My body likes to be at this weight too, well 10 lbs heavier actually. But I don't! Maybe I can teach it. I seriously don't have the energy for 6 days at the gym and god bless those of you who do!

Yeah, well, it's not just about how you look. I know that I feel much better when I work out than when I don't. Don't you want to feel healthy, strong, and energetic? Adult onset Diabetes runs in my family, so I don't play around with my weight; I don't want some horrible lifelong disease due to something i can control.

god. I don't have the energy. and this was going to be my week to crack down even further. I will be working late again tonight (although overtime is "discouraged") and I don't know that I'll have the energy to walk 2 miles tonight. maybe I'll just do weights.

amber · #8 10-16-2006, 04:58 PM

I'm doing a simultaneous fast and colon cleanse, so I'd probably win. Did you know your colon can store pounds and pounds and pounds of toxic crap? Yep. Good times. Gross, good times.

I have a "friend" doing that and she was telling me about it. she's doing something where she drinks like 2 cups of olive oil and lays on one side...something else weird, but I forgot. good luck with that!

I will do weigh in on Friday. Too much work the last week, and only swam about 3 times. But I seriously need to drop 10 pounds, maybe 15. I feel slothlike and am just not f*ckable, IMO. The odd thing is...the last few months it hasn't mattered in terms of what other guys think. I can't figure that out. They always want seconds.

Bottom line, though, the 32 waist pants are gettin too snug. And I am NOT buying a new wardrobe.

Posting weight in 4 days.

It sure is. Wanna see pics? In some autopsies they have found colons that weigh 40 lbs. Also, colons that were 9 inches in diameter but with just a pinhole size opening.
Yep. Lots of people have been cured of lots of things with colon cleansing, too. And fasting. I recommend checking out the research.

Oh, and P.S., I was at 149 this morning.

I'm doing the Master Cleanser for the fast, and got an herbal colon cleansing kit, with the psyllium seed husks, and the bentonite clay, and various other herbs. All the usual suspects.

Here's just one site talking about the Master Cleanser, there are several. I had a friend who did it, too, and she was amazed and renewed. She did 30 days!

My weight loss is going quite slow - but that's the best way...easier for maintenance in the long-run and I know I'm being healthy so the feeling I have now far outweighs the fact that I'm losing so damn slow.

I'd rather not post my weight...but my goal weight is between 130 and 135.

According to health sites my "ideal" weight is 122 - that is NEVER going to happen ..I can't even imagine how gross I'd look....

I was 132 before I gained and I looked fantastic. I was firm and fit and felt great - I want to get back there.
