Excersize fairy strikes again!!

Gotta love the This time it was a 4 tape set of Tae Bo Live ! WOOHOOO Did the 8 min today and I felt like I worked out 45 min I coulda never ever done that at 488 Well just wanted to update you With this somethin better change I don't care if it's weight or inches but somethin better...hehe Shel

hey Shel I NEED an exercise fairy!!! I need SOMETHING some sort of motivation to get my butt moving and get back to the gym. I weighed in this morning and yes I lost 3 pounds this week (YAY ME) but it's been a total struggle! I am having a really hard time walking past all the candy (chocolate) at the reception desk in my office - I actually broke down the other day and took one piece (Reeses peanut butter cup) - I took one bite and tossed the rest into the garbage because I knew if I ate the whole thing I would go back for another...BUT I REALLY REALLY wanted to fini****! This is going to be a very difficult holiday season for me ... I NEED to get back to exercising and NOW!!! any hints on how to motivate me? I need help! hugssssssss....Linda ps - I am so proud of what you do and how well you've done Shel - you really are my motivation to keep going!! 300/163/140 HOPEFULLY!!!!

I eat chocolate too..BUT I only allow myself to have it the day b4 and the day my cycle starts, i figure that wy i can blaim it on water retention...hehe I count my calories for the day and try to burn 1000 cal more a day then I take in. I don't do it everyday and latley i'm lucky to burn off what I take in. I figured it like this ,If i try to burn 100 cam more then I take in thats about 7000 cal over what I eat so it works out to 2 lbs a week 7000 devided by the 3500 that equals a pound. Some days I ***** moan and complain the whole time i'm on the stair stepper or tredmill , but I do it becouse I know it's the only way it works, and I DO NOT want to be 488 lbs again. Each time you skip the chance to work out think about how you felt pre op, how you wanted to be healthy and smaller,now think...you ARE. Don't waste this chance , you have come so far don't let it all go now, you CAN do this , realy you can , you have been doing it already for over a year. Huuuuuuuggggggggsssssssss, Shel P.s> I get depressed some days becouse I am just now where most of you began and it seems so far to go still, but it helps to know you guys were once where I am and now look where you are, I too can do this , I just have to refocus sometimes many times a day, You are my motivation too, all of you. I don't think any one of us could do this ALONE.

I need a "hot ripped guy fairy" and a "i will do your housework fairy" and "i will let your husband nag at me fairy"............if only...I wish i had a fairy. the only fairies that I have are " i need this fairy" i want that fairy" wheres the fairness???? Just kidding heidi

wait! now you want "fairness" too? life is NOT fair - if it were we would all have been born thin, rich and beautiful - we wouldn't have to work or clean our houses and we could eat anything we wanted! We would have personal trainers and cooks in our kitchen preparing us healthy meals and of course if life were REALLY fair we would have perfect husbands that catered to our every whim so much for fairness - now back to reality...sighhhhhhhhhhh - but I will never stop wishing and dreaming! Linda

Shelly you are so lucky. It sounds like you have someone who is trying to be very supportive of you in there own way. I hear you on the changes. If something doesn't happen soon I am gonna scream. donna
