I Am Trying to Lose Weight

It Is Time...

By: ldsgirl923

Written on January 30th, 2012

I was not fat as a kid. My parents were over weight, but I swore I wasn't going to be. Now, 5 kids later, here I am. I tried for a long time to keep the weight down (after I had gained 60 pounds with my first baby). After my third, I had post-partum depression that was undiagnosed for a couple of years. Then when I was 41 I had my fourth child and within 6 months I was pregnant with my 5th...TOTAL surprise! Two kids within two years after the age of 40??? Yeah, not good. Twelve days after my daughter was born, she passed away and I spent a year in a haze.
Now I have 100 pounds to lose. I have high blood pressure (taking meds) and fibromyalgia along with some days of depression still.
But today I got my new eating/workout plan and I am ready to get going!
My family and have to make a lot of changes so I am planning to take this week to get groceries, etc. My goal is to lose 50 pounds by the summer and get off of at least one blood pressure and maybe the cholesterol medications. I have tried and failed numerous times, but I do feel more motivated and ready this time!

Hi everyone,
my name is Jim, and I would like to take a few mins of your time and present to you a secret that most Pharmaceutical giants or gym corporations want to keep away from you.
You see this is a secret that is actually 110% full proof
- WHY -
Because it doesn't ask you to spend more money yet again on some magical pill that would somehow shake away all that unwanted fat.
Because it is based on logic
Because millions have already succeeded and reached their weight loss goal
Hey just like you, millions including myself; have been tormented with these non-stop quick magical solution scams. Which is why I won't say any more than I already have.
I will let you decide for yourself.
If your tired of having wasted money, time on GYM memberships, home exercise equipment and/or pills/shakes then:

Listen friend, I said earlier that this program is 110% full proof. And I meant it; this is the only program that will reimburse you no questions asked even after you've tried it after 60 days.
so what d'ya gotta lose huh? Except a couple of unwanted pounds.
Cheers,
Jim

Just read your post... I have never gotten on a chat room but decided to look into it. I have gone through some similar things as you. I am a mother of 4 dealt with some depression after my 3rd child born 16 months apart and now my husband lost his job. I am an aerobics instructor and personal trainer but still struggle with my weight. You really have to find something that works for you. Whether it be a certain "diet", shakes, I am not against a lot but not a big fan of pills but you have to be able to stick with it. If you want to talk I would love to support each other. I am currently trying to reduce processed foods and drinking a shake or 2 a day to help shrink my stomach but still get some good nutrition in my body. Starving will not work. Hope you get started and get to feeling better about yourself!!!!

  Jacqkkc,
  I too am an instructor and trainer and have dealt with the PPD and only have 3 kids but I still struggle with weight issues. I can relate to both of you. I too am available to chat/support, which I truly enjoy doing...helping other succeed in their weight loss efforts. I've lost weight numerous times and of course have put it back on to do it again: Good luck to you both.

I see that you are trying to loose weight and that is so great! I was wondering if you ever thought of using an BeachBody products and videos? They are really great and there seems to be a program for everyone. There are kickboxing (Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire), there is stuff with more weights and plyometrics like P90X and tons more. Touch base with me if you are interested. Check out my site or send me an email if you would like to talk more about it! www.beachbodycoach.com/IvyMarie23. You can email me too through the site. I'd love to help you meet your goal! Thanks! Dana

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of the Advocare products before or not but they're pretty awesome. All weight loss products work better when you work out too but these are specially designed so that it's not required, just watching what you eat and adding a few extra things into your day. I'm only on day 6 of a 24 day program but I've lost 3 pounds already and it's not a starve yourself diet! I encourage you to check it out for yourself if you're at all curious and do some research. I did my own research before I started and found out that I knew several people that were/had used it and found nothing bad about it online or by word of mouth. Check it out and let me know what you think!

I wish you the best of luck! I know how difficult it can be to have motivation when there is so much weight to lose. I have the same amount to lose, myself. I'm also very sorry to hear what you went through with losing a child and the depression.

Love your energy. I would enjoy being healthly lifestyle buddies if you would like. Over the last three years I lost 100 pounds. In the last 6 months I gained 40 pounds due to bipolar medication changes. I have dropped 13 pounds in the last month since the sugar and carb cravings have stopped after getting off the mania medications I have to take when manic. You may add me as a friend I would like to be supportive of your effort.
