After some major internet problems mixed with a little depression…I’ve finally returned to buddy slim and it feels so good. My weight has been going up and down though stays within a pound or two of my last weigh in. My frustration and lack of motivation is to blame. I’m just so happy to be back and get on it. The time away made me realize how much I miss and need my friends on buddy slim!

 Thanks Sabrina for all the encouraging booster notes. They made me smile as soon as I logged on. It’s good to know the the LL4 is over, and the new group will begin shortly. Congrads on the win Tina!

Now, time to get back on the grind…weight loss here I come!

The funniest thing happened last night, but in order to “get the joke” I should start from the beginning.

January 3rd, I ventured out in South Cali for the first time alone. Yep, I ditched my boys (fiance and son) for some good ol me time. Although I’d only been here for 3 weeks…I recalled seeing a Lane Bryant near the Walmart we shopped at, and decided I’d stop there after leaving the mall. Walked in and the place was a little overwhelming. I guess since I’d never been in store designed for the “plus size” part of me (my bottom, lol). The sells rep was so sweet, she took my measurements and told me I was a size 2 (in L.B. terms, lol). Then brought me a pair of wide legged trousers from their Right Fit clothing line. When I put on those jeans…I could NOT believe it! Not only did they fit my small waist, they fit my hips and cover my favorite ass-et w/o the freakin gap in the back. Finally, a pair of jeans that didn’t require a belt to hold it up and keep it in, lol. Of course…. I had to have them. There they are, in my profile pic.

Well…here’s the ironic part. So I put them on last night (first time again after they were washed), and OMG I have a freakin GAP in the back. I know I know I should be happy right…I’ve lost .5 inches around my hips and waist since Jan 3rd, but dag….I bought these jeans bc they fit me perfectly! Sighs, and now they’re just not the same. Now where’s that belt?

Hi:

First, I want to thank all those who’ve welcomed me to the buddyslim world! It’s turned out to be the best site I’ve ever rolled upon. My new buddies are so sweet and supportive. And, for once I feel like I can help those that need a little push also.

Despite me beginning my TOM last night (thanks again for the definition Tina and Sabrina, lol). It’s not holding me back as usual. I’m excited to go to the gym and work-out with my “bay.” He’s designed my weight lifting routine. Today is chest and triceps, and then I’ll hit the cardio section and do close to an hour. All despite the bloating and slight cramps.

 Honestly, w/o the motivation from buddyslim… and if this would have been last month…I would have easily made up an excuse NOT to go.

Thanks again!!!

Hello:

 Today’s my first day on buddyslim. For the past 7 years I’ve struggled to lose weight. In between now and then the scale has gone down, but mostly up. I’m fed up with my old procedures.The unrealistic goals that didn’t get met. This year I plan to do it right, by thinking outside the box. I hope to meet people of all ages going through something similiar. Who are motivating and in need inspiration.
