Big Mama's December Support Thread
Here goes the monthly thread for The Big Mamas...
This thread is for the mamas who have a long road ahead of them... Naomi started this thread because she felt that the Big Mamas face different struggles when working on weight loss. We don't just need to lose a few pounds to feel happy, we need to drop large portions of weight to be healthy and active! Feel free to join me and the other ladies anytime! If you feel comfortable give: Your name Starting Weight Current Weight Short-Term Goal (ie. "X" by valentines/March) Long-Term Goal Weight Lost to Date Weight Loss Plan I know it is a little intimidating to give your weight, but I really feel it is important to "say it out loud", so if you can, say that number for the last time and watch it shrink! This thread is for the Big Mamas...women who are about 50-70lbs or more over their healthy weight (or were at the beginning of their journey). Join the ladies and I as we work our way to a healthier us! Advertisement

Re: Big Mama's December Support Thread
I hope no one minds. I always figure if we're to the third or fourth and no one has posted I'll do it because I NEED the support to keep going. Really hope that I"m not stepping on someone's toes, if I am PLEASE tell me.

Re: Big Mama's December Support Thread
You're not stepping on anyone's toes. I just don't ever think about starting a new thread. I would happily keep posting on the old one forever and a day. lol
Okay, so yesterday, I wasn't thinking and had two big cups of ice tea when we went to lunch, and then DH bought me a small Coke last night. Major caffeine overload. I didn't get to sleep until after 5 this morning. So, I didn't get up and exercise. I am going to do some strength training later today, though, as I was planning on starting that back this week and the schedule my brother gave me takes 6 days, which I am going to shoot for. This part doesn't take real long and I don't get all nasty and sweaty, so it should be easier for me to fit in, as it doesn't matter what time of day I do it. |

Re: Big Mama's December Support Thread
Your name Laurel
Starting Weight 185 (195 the month before I "officially" started) Current Weight 155 Short-Term Goal 155 (into the healthy BMI!!!) by October1--MET!-- Long-Term Goal 135lbs or 50 lbs lost New Short Term Goal- Maintain weight and not gain over Christmas Weight Lost to Date 30lbs Weight Loss Plan Eat to keep blood sugar under control, track food using Myfitnesspal, add in exercise again. I have put weight loss on hold. I am getting frustrated. After months and months of not loosing, I've decided to just give it a rest, and be happy with maintaining. Then come January I'll hit it hard again. I do need to work out more though. I think I want to try for 3X a week right now. I keep making a goal of 5X and then when I don't even come close to making it I quit. So 3X a week of doing SOMETHING. I don't care if I work extra hard at scrubbing the house (instead of my usual liesurly cleaning pace) or if I take a walk or if I do the elliptical, just need to do something that gets my heart rate up.

Re: Big Mama's December Support Thread
Erin- I actually wish I had taken pics at the start of all this. I have some pics from the summer before, but I was not at my heaviest then. But I really wish I had because I look at myself now and can't see the progress until I look back at those pics.
