for real though.. i have had a gym membership for 10 years, mostly working out pretty regularly, and i have gained 20 pounds in these past 10 years hahaha... of course i could have worked ...

i gave in and weighed myself i lost 6 pounds in the past few weeks FINALLY my goodness

i dont even think weighing yourself is important really. i think it promotes bad self image ya know? the important thing is that you feel good and secondly is how you feel about how you look. it...

juicymango Jul 3, 2007

yeah i always felt that way - like 20 pounds ago haha... but yeah i try to weigh myself like once a month these days just to make sure i'm on target and until now, for the past 2 years no matter...

Yeah but what were you eating? I was working out regularly and hard each time, but I kept gaining weight over the winter. Turns out it was my diet. I've watched what I'm eating and drinking late...

i have always eaten healthy.. for a while i was actually measuring out the calories and talked with a personal trainer about what i should be eating, how many calories, etc. and even he was kind of stumped as to why i was not losing

it seems that the only thing that is working for me now is like extremely low calories, mostly protein and low carb, lots of vegetables and fruit, and just lots and lots of water, heh

you really have to be careful about the "really low calories" because you can start messing up your metabolism. calories=energy. when i do a low calorie diet everything seems to go wrong, im in a bad mood....its just no fun.

i think what matt said is true. just to be happy with how you look & feel is most important. not how much you weigh. i would say about 1/2 of my life so far has been wasted on how i look. its so dumb.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah, i totally agree

i'm still eating a good amount of calories

and basically just eating more often, but less, and more healthy stuff, more natural stuff, more organic, more raw, etc.

and the occasional Rita's Gelati hahaha...

yeah like for example for lunch right now i'm having a small salad - organic romain lettuce from my garden and some other veggies in it. About 3 hours ago I had a protein shake with strawberries and rasberries, for breakfast at like 8 a.m. i had an egg on a piece of rye toast. I'm never hungry i'm just more aware of what i'm eating.

thats really good. we need more support of being HEALTHY instead of being skinny. im so sick of everyone being like 90 lbs. yuck. i'd rather be over weight then look like skeletor.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah i was never skeletor - i just wanna get back to what i was a couple years ago - just more healthy and fit into a bit smaller clothes haha!

Skeletor had muscles in the He-Man cartoons. Get it right!!
