I was doing pretty well before hitting GW last weekend and had managed to get another 10lbs off in the two months between the Tampa show and then. Busting my ankle is going to keep me from doing anything terribly productive for the next week or so, but I can still get back to my healthier eating habits. After climbing the Pilgrim Monument last Monday I am determined to get back into better shape.

I'm toying with the idea of PX90. Has anybody here tried it? I really wish I were into running, but there's no way you're going to convince me to do it when it's 97 here with 85% humidity.

Welcome, Leslie! It's great to have you join us.

Johnson, it was an actual race...I did it in 31 minutes. Could've done better had I been more prepared but considering the circumstances, I was pretty happy with it. Gonna go for a run right now.

Awesome!!!!! This is definitely the place to be.

First I would say is to see your doctor get checked out before starting. A lot of programs say that, but it's definitely good to do before trying P90X. If you check out http://www.teambeachbody.com they have a lot of programs on there, P90X, Power 90 (P90X Part 1), they're getting ready to release P90X Part 2, I think this August. Rev Abs with Brett Hoebel from the Biggest Loser, Chalene Johnson has several programs on there, 10 Minute Trainer which what I started with.

You can sign up for the website, it's free, and you can program your workouts in everyday. Message boards, chat rooms, and members signed up as coaches to give advice and tips.

P90X has three levels, Lean, Standard & Double. Lean takes some of the resistance training out and replaces with it cardio workouts. Plyometrics they recommend that if you're not ready for it doing Cardio X. Each workout is about an hour, Yoga X is 90 and amazing.

Any questions post them here or shoot a PM, glad to help in any way.

Thanks and congratulations on the race! I have friends that run! They swear once your in the zone, you're an addict. I've just always been more of a "gym" girl. I can get out and go for walks and runs when I'm elsewhere, but I get bored with the scenery, the weather and it's just easier to turn on Days of Our Lives and get on the treadmill.

March 15 of next year is the Disney World Marathon and my goal is to make that. Maybe (since we'll both be living in Florida) you can run it with me. Like I said, accountability is the key for me.

I have a physical slated for next month. We'll see how that goes. Once I'm in the habit of doing anything, it's a pretty set deal with me. I let some undiagnosed health problems and surgeries get the better of me, but now that those are out of the way, I'd like to get back to the way I'm supposed to be. Frankly, I miss going to the gym and I'm a little uncomfortable in my own skin. That might be TMI, but if I'm not going to be honest here, where will I be?

As for P90X, I just want to do something that's going to make me feel like I got my @$$ kicked everyday. I miss that.

Not, TMI as far as I'm concerned that's how I felt and still feel right now. P90X will kick your ass. Especially Yoga and Plyo, about the only day, the last workout of the week is just stretching and it's the only one that isn't intense. I would recommend doing lean or standard before jumping into doubles.

It's been a week since we've had our 4th of July Blowout. It's been kind of a weird tradition. One year we had well over 200 people out there probably and then we went down to the lakes for quite a few years after that mess and started it over about 10 years ago.

My extended family may have killed it this year. I haven't posted all week because I've been really trying to cool off after the events. This will tie in with Healthy Living. I did pretty good on the food on Saturday, but the Sunday and Monday leftovers were kind of hard on all of us. I've pretty much lost all the weight this week so I'm not too worried about it.

The booze, the beer was SO good!! I hadn't had anything to drink in too long it was nice change. I enjoyed now, probably nothing until September. We had a great time and a terrible time. We were running around literally putting out fires. We caught the pasture on fire several times. The fireworks were legendary. I only got to see them from right under setting them off. But it was awesome we had lightning in every direction shooting across the sky.

The terrible, I hate my cousins and their kids. The most rude, thoughtless, hateful little... I haven't cooled off completely. They were supposed to stay outside they ran all over the house pulled out the nerf guns and were shooting at the adults. Shooting at the face. One of my sister's friends put their kid in timeout and they dumped water on him, another was shaking a pop, Mom caught her before she sprayed anyone.

My cousin has become some sort of fat, gypsy artist she's bringing all over her in-laws over, she invited her husband's ex-wife to Christmas. Not that I'm against other people coming but this crap she's pulling is p*** everyone off.

Healthy living isn't only about looking better and feeling better, it's about being better.

I've got some other stuff to go over, but I have an early morning I'll work out all of my thoughts and share them.

Awesome. Nice way to put it.

I haven't checked in here in a while.
Still getting after it. I tweaked my lower back while on vacation a few weeks ago. I've been to the chiro 10 times over the past few weeks and I have to say...I'm feeling GREAT. I'm a true believer in chiro now. Not only does my bakc feel better, I sleep sooooo good lately.

Doing more cardio than weights. Paddleboarding on the weekends. Trying to drop that 10 lbs...still.

I may have a business opportunity coming up in the next several months that involves fitness and watersports. If it happens; that alone will get me / keep me in decent shape.

Awesome to hear Jim. I agree with the chiro. I go every once in a while to get straightened out. Mine has lost a lot of weight himself. If you're ribs get out of line it makes a mess for the rest of the body. That's been my big thing. Get those popped back into place and everything is perfect. My legs and feet were a mess and he got those back in correctly and I was out running again the next day.

Good luck with your business opportunity!!!

LOL I appreciate that. I just can't let it be meaningless words anymore it has to be straight from the heart, believe it with every fiber of my being, live it every damn day.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/ ... JD20110707

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in ... ted_States
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BRFSS ... 5-2006.gif

I hope we all took notice of this, it's been all over the news. I don't agree with Obama on just about anything, , but these obesity results make me sick. Although it's like a lot is "Do as I as I say, not as I do.", but I don't want to get into politics here.

I may seem like a hypocrite for some of the stuff I'm about to say, but first I must say.

1. I never once felt that there was anything right or normal about being my size. I hated it, hate myself, I wouldn't look into a damn mirror if I had to.
2. After I lost most of my weight, several people mentioned to everyone but me, how they couldn't believe I was that big(fat) and how well I carried it. I see a lot of overweight people walking around like they could leave foot prints in concrete. I never wanted to attract attention to myself.

There's this woman on the radio in KC, she lost about 75 pounds, I saw here last January at an event. She still walks like a very obese person. I have a relative that's extremely obese and they way they both walked, you couldn't tell the difference between the two. When I saw her, I didn't see the person that lost a lot of weight, I just a fat person.

3. Many of my friends have started workout programs and given up almost immediately. Everyone wants the easy fix, that's not the way my grandparents or parents were raised, but people their age go for the quick fix in the blink of an eye. I can tell you if it came down to surgery or working out, I would sweat to death before I had any of those surgeries. They look worse, more unhealthy than they did before. I understand if that's only option you have, but if you're an able bodied person I don't want to hear one f****** excuse.

Words to live by.





If that first one doesn't make you want to get up and go then that second one should.

This next part isn't going to be pretty, straight from the heart. I don't like fat people. They disgust me. Now, I can like a fat person, and I do. But as a group of people, I can't think of anything I hate more, not Huskers, not Raider fans, nothing. A lot of this is pointed right back at me. I can remember wearing my 4 and 5XL shirts. Not finding anything I liked to wear and just wearing what would fit. I can remember how constricting they were, sleeves hanging down past my elbows, how heavy they would get when I was sweaty. Laying on my side as this mass of flesh spread out in front of me.

My grandfathers ate to live and worked to eat. Both very fit, as well as my parents. In my teens and early twenties I couldn't keep up with them in their 60s, 70s and 80s. Hell, one of them offered to pay me to lose weight, I ignored it, was insulted. Neither one of them lived long enough to see the man I knew I was.

Maybe I'm just focused on it, but I can't even see overweight people trying to carry themselves with any respect or dignity. I look and I just don't see it. The numbers on the obesity stats kills me, I know as a country we're better than that. The country I group up in didn't make excuses, the country I was raised to believe in, isn't this lazy. I'll just post the link to this picture. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6133/592 ... d1de_o.jpg

Put the goddamn phone down, the iPad away, turn the f****** computer off, put your remote through the TV(please don't do that, I would expect everyone knows better than that ). Get out there be someone's inspiration, lead by example. Don't just do it to find a girlfriend, boyfriend, don't do it to look better, don't do it to feel better, do it to be better, do it to make someone else better, do it to make "U.S." better

The best pace is a suicide pace, and today is a good day to die!

And he rides the wild horses,
The same blood flows through their veins.
Yes he rides the wild horses,
Like the horses he’ll never be tamed.

He’ll never be broke, he won’t be tied down,
He’ll never wear no man’s brand.
He won’t fit in with the nine to five crowd
Cause movin’s all he understands.

I really hate coming in here and venting like I have been, but it's just driving me crazy. This is a positive place.

I have so many people telling (about my weight loss) "I need to do that." "I should do that." "I want to do that." then I hear, "I can't do that."

I've tried to refrain from posting anything too personal, but this is have been festering for a while. I have a relative that "wants" to lose weight. Both my parents and I have told her over and over to come out and use the treadmill. She does want to distrub anyone, the damn thing is at the back of the house in the basement, in it's own room. No one is being bothered. we finally get her out there one night and sit down there with her and talk to her about and she walks 1 mile an hour for 20 or 30 minutes. Hey, whatever you have to do to get started, but she was walking like someone would walk across thin ice.

That's the only time she came out. Then in front of the family, we were talking about losing weight and she says to everyone, "I would really like to lose weight, but Jerred just won't help me." Don't ever say anything in front of me that you don't want repeated, especially something stupid. I didn't even know what to say, I was completely floored.

She laughed it off like a joke, and I know there are inappropriate jokes, but that was her being hateful, sarcastic and putting her problems off on someone else. She's famous for blaming someone else for her troubles then bragging about her problems like it's some sort of badge of honor.

Then later on when no one is around she's bawling in front of me asking, "When am I going to get my sign?"

This is where I'm done with being P.C., holding hands, stroking egos, kissing ass, etc.

I'm all for pretty much doing what you want to do, and I wouldn't have such a problem with it just a few more people would stop and just think for one second, "Should I do this?" "What's the consequences of doing this?" "Do I absolutely need this?"

Please don't let these rants ruin this thread and if you don't like what I've had to say in some parts, if you don't like me for some of the stuff I've had to say, I hate that.

But being better doesn't necessarily mean being the perfect or a good guy or girl, you just have to speak from the heart, say what you believe, believe what you say. From this point on, "I can't do it" isn't going to work for me.

You're just becoming more comfortable with who you are....amazingly, who you always have been....but just didn't know it.
We carry our fat like a suit of armor....it keeps people out and it keeps "us" in. I did it for years. I hated being fat, but I was to scared not to be. It wasn't until I really started to get real with myself and what I wanted that I was able to take the measures I needed to to lose weight.
I'm not talking about people with 20 or 30 pounds to lose, I'm talking about people like us that had well...a person to lose. There are a lot of dynamics that go into being fat.....losing the weight starts the process, but unless and until your brain catches up with your body....you don't keep the weight off.
I still think like a fat girl sometimes....I still have worthiness issues....but I'm 100 times better than I used to be. I can look in the mirror and see someone that is presentable, something I could never do before.
Like you said....buying clothes....sweet jesus. To be able to buy something that doesn't look like it was made for my fat grandmother. I used to say all of the time "I'm fat, not blind." I love buying clothes now....especially dresses and girly things that I never wore before....I always wore man t-shirts....because why...because they fit.
Rant, vent, whatever you need to do....because it is all part of that process of deprogramming the fat brain!!!!

Thanks I appreciate that. You nailed better than I could ever hope to. The deprogramming. I understand it's hard, hell I know it's hard.

Waiting for a sign? I'm a sign, you're a sign, everyone in the thread is the sign.

Keep up the hard work everyone, get to posting, good or bad, unload on me, vent to me, vent at me, get it out. It can't just be the good, if you've had a bad day, bad week, bad anything get it out and let's move on.

Getting all this out has really gotten the knot out my stomach the stiffness out of my shoulders. I highly recommend getting it out, I've spoken to people and it helps, but something about really putting out there for someone else to read I feel pretty damn good now.

Hey Jerred. Venting is good man. And you can say all that because you've been there.
I guess we all can. Although I would not say that I hate fat people.
I hate being fat and I don't believe anyone who says that they're fat and happy.

As for waiting for a sign....I can understand that for some people.
I think everyone has to hit their own low before they get finally do something.
I know I did. I remember one night back in 06 when I rolled over in bed and it was like a struggle just to turn. I laid there crying to myself. Shortly after I made a list of the 10 things I hated about being fat. Some were really personal.
Right now I'm back in the struggle and it's way harder than it was back then but I am going in the right direction. I still need to lose about 35 pounds.

There's a lady at my job who was close to getting surgery to lose weight but instead she got on a diet plan and has lost 75 pounds so far.
She's an inspiration to me just as I once was to here. Her focus reminds me of that eye of the tiger that I once had but am getting back.
Keep going man and keep venting.
You are one of my inspirations as are you Paige.

The battle never ends, it really doesn't.
Yeah, I had weight loss surgery.....and a lot of people think that's the "easy" way out....but look at how many people that have WLS gain it back....I don't...no, I WON'T be one of those statistics. I fight with 10-15 pounds all of the time...but that's a hell of a lot better than fighting with 110-115.
You'll get there, Michael. You know what to do, you know why to do it and you know that you're worth it.

Yeah, I hated saying I hate fat people it's the mentality. Either I'm happy or I'll ignore, me being the latter. And I don't hate on people that get the surgery.

Two examples one woman got the most extreme surgery and she didn't need to lose a lot of weight and now she can't drink anything with carbonation, alcohol and can barely eat anything and people tell me she looks worse than she did the before. The other, she was constantly eating and drinking and she did not look well either.

If you get the surgery and do what the doctor tells you then, rock on. It's the easy way out mentality and you don't do anything in support of it that bothers me.

Until I went to the doctor I ignored every sign thrown in front of me. I know everyone has to come to it when the want to, I just want people to know this is your sign, me and all of you.

Thanks for all the great words, when I tend to get on one of these rants I say stuff that I usually like to keep to myself. I never want intend to offend anyone, I just start typing and hit send.

Keep on rockin' it!!!! I know you can do it sonofabeach!!!!!!

Two examples one woman got the most extreme surgery and she didn't need to lose a lot of weight and now she can't drink anything with carbonation, alcohol and can barely eat anything and people tell me she looks worse than she did the before. The other, she was constantly eating and drinking and she did not look well either.

If you get the surgery and do what the doctor tells you then, rock on. It's the easy way out mentality and you don't do anything in support of it that bothers me.

Until I went to the doctor I ignored every sign thrown in front of me. I know everyone has to come to it when the want to, I just want people to know this is your sign, me and all of you.

Thanks for all the great words, when I tend to get on one of these rants I say stuff that I usually like to keep to myself. I never want intend to offend anyone, I just start typing and hit send.

Keep on rockin' it!!!! I know you can do it sonofabeach!!!!!!

There are a lot of things I can't eat or drink....it's a trade off.
