So instead of joining Dr. Bernstien’s I decided to get to the root of my loss problems and I went to see a Naturopath.  I’ve been to Dr’s and Nutritionists and Dietitian’s and tried just about everything including prescribed Xhenical and Merida and still nothing.  All I’ve managed to do over the years is lose a few here and gain a whole lot back. 

I”m at a good point in my life where I’ve met my true love, we own a house, I love my job, things are on track except my unhappiness with myself.  This is the last straw before I can be totally satisfied.  So after my last Dr. told me to just be thankful I have an attractive face and except it I decided to try somthing different.  I’ve always thought that something was wrong with me hormonally since I gained 80 pounds in a year right after getting my first period.  I’ve asked to be tested for these things only to find out that tests that she actually gave me weren’t done right, and most she refused.  So I had my first meeting with the Naturopath today and she is wonderful.  She actually met with me for a full hour and really listened to what I had to say. She even looked at pictures i brought of before and after first ever period.  So anyway, I’m feeling slightly motivated, still afraid to get my full hopes up lol, but she thinks she can help.  She has already sent me for a full thyroid test and plans on doing saliva tests to check out the rest of my hormones and see if they are doing what they are supposed to be doing as she suspects they are not. 

Anyway, I’ll keep you all posted on my journy and I hope finally I get the answer I have so longed to hear… we know what’s wrong and we can fix it. 

Keep going Buddies, You are worth it!!

LOL Don’t worry I’m only trying this for a week then if I haven’t seen any results I’ll stop blogging this everyday!

I am losing weight fast, I am losing weight fast, I am losing weight fast, I am losing weight fast, I am losing weight fast, I am losing weight fast, I am losing weight fast, I am losing weight, I am losing weight, I am losing weight, I am losing weight, I am losing weight!

You are losing weight, You are losing weight, You are losing weight, You are losing weight!

Just incase anyone needed motivation today…

I am losing weight, easily and quickly. I am losing weight easily and quickly. I am losing weight easily and quickly. I am losing weight easily and quickly. I am losing weight easily and quickly. hmmm

I”m losing weight fast, I’m losing weight fast, I”m losing weight fast, I’m losing weight fast.

LOL i guess that’s enough for now…. I’ll keep saying it in my head as to not annoy the rest of you sane people on here lol 

So my mom was telling me about this book the secret… I haven’t read it yet but it is based basically on what you send out to the Universe will come back to you, so here it goes LOL

I am losing weight, I am losing weight, I am losing weight, I am losing weight, I am losing weight LOL

sorry guys but I just had to try it… It’s my new mantra every night before bed and every morning when I get up lol

I am losing weight, I am losing weight, I am losing weight

Yahhh! I’m so excited everyone! I finally lost some weight. Only down 2 pounds but after busting my ass over the last 3 months and not moving an inch either way I almost busted a gut seeing that the scale was down this morning. The ironic part was that I went and met my best friend for dinner at Kelsey’s and totally pigged out on spinach dip lol and mmm it was so good.  perhaps i should try a spinach dip diet lol

anyway I just wanted to share in my good news! Hope you all have a great weekend!

It always makes me feel so good to wake up to sunshine in the morning, especially when it’s warm enough to get outside and enjoy.  We have a lot of organizing to do today but first off I plan on taking the dog for a walk and possibly try some jogging outside.  I seem to do ok on the treadmill but taking it outside is always harder for me do to my allergies and asthma for some reason.  But I’m gonna try it. Then it’s on to the basement! Spring is here it’s cleaning and organizing time! Ha I’m a dork.

Well hope you all have a good day. I”m going to eat my weight control oatmeal! lol

Ok so first I want to thank everyone on here and my one suppport buddy who’s not, P you know who you are for all your kinds words, encouragement and information. 

I’m feeling a little better today and I just got back from doing 8 km at the gym.  I made an apt with a Naturopath next week and we’ll see what they can do to help me if anything.

I’ve decided to start tracking calories instead of points as some people have said that perhaps I’m not getting enough…. Now the only thing is I can’t figure out how many a day I should be eatting lol I’ve looked on line and the results are very inconsistent… from 800-2400… so if anyone has any info on what I should be aiming for please advise!

Anyway, Thanks again I’m off to go make some chicken and veggies for dinner

I”m trying to get into a positive state of mind by reading all the positive blogs on here and all i have to say is I’m so proud yet totally jealous of all of you who are doing so well.  Today is a bad day. A very bad day. I feel like giving up on this whole thing.  This is why I’ve never been able to stick to a plan long term, nothing ever happens and then I lose all motivation.  It’s been 3 months and I’ve been working hard and following a healthy eating plan and I have not budged one pound, not one pound! Infact I had lost before I started working out and I’ve actually gained since I’ve started at the gym, and no I’m sure it’s not muscle.  I’ve lost about 2 inches and that was about 2 months ago…. since then nothing.  It’s so hard to keep going to the gym and keep plodding away on the machines and stuff when I know that it’s all a waste of time.  Even more frustrating is I have a couple friends who are doing really well, and I am very happy for them, but I want it for me too.  Even more stressful is that I have this damn bridesmaid dress I have to fit into by July and I’m so scared to think of how I am going to get into it when nothing is working. 

I’ve got to the part where I’m considering doing Dr. Bernstein’s, which I swore I would never ever do… it kinda scares me cause I’ve heard some horry stories about it… Does anyone on here know anything about it??

I’m also considering going to a naturopath as I feel as if there must be something medical preventing me from losing…. and I’ve had all the regular Dr tests, or I think I have, years ago.  I feel if I could just get this weight off I would be so much more happier with life and myself.  I think I could actually keep it off too, my lifestyle is healthy for a so called “fat girl” so I really don’t get it. 

Anyway, today was a bad day, I’m gonna go veg and hollow and then get back at it tomorrow hopefully feeling better having got this all out.  If anyone has any info on Dr. Bernsein’s or what a Naturopath can do for wieghtloss, please let me know!!

Keep up the great work!

I just wanted to say that you all rock! Thanks for the information, I love it so keep it coming, any tips are wonderful!

Keep up the great work everyone!! You’re the best! The sun was shining today and it felt fabulous!

Cheers!

Hey everyone,

so I have a question… after watching biggest loser last night and hearing in the quiz thing that 3500 calories = 1 pound I’m feeling a little stressed!

Does that mean in order to lose a pound a week I need to burn off 3500 calories a week at the gym??

Do you know how many miles that is on the eliptical??!! I”m scared that if this is the case I will never suceed lol I’m already having such a hard time losing the pounds, although I seem to be losing inches so that I’m ok with, but eventually I’d like to see the numbers coming down!

Anyway if anyone has any info on this please share I’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions!
