Caught husband with another woman dec 18. kicked him out. filed for divorce. lost 19 lbs between then and Jan 11. Boss offered everyone one month free at new gym in town and i took it. Worked out for first time today. Also joined kickboxing class :eek: who would have thought that? not me. anyway, i feel good. I guess i never felt like i had the motivation to do it before. But, now, I have. I want to make him look at me some day and say"Gee whiz, I really messed up. She looks good. She has made something for herself." Then i have lost 19 already and i think " see you can do it" so i have been really getting into exercising and eating less. not really calorie counting or being on a plan. just eating less, drinking more water, and exercising. i hope it works. i need something to make me feel good about myself.
 
Nice to have you here. Sorry about your husband doing that to you, make him hurt girl, now its time to live life for you and no one else!! 19lbs is brilliant congrats, on the loss and good luck for future loss. Kickboxing classes sound fun, no doubt you can lose more, just keep in mind that muscle is heavier than fat, so as you get smaller, you may want to switch from scales to circumfrence measurements.
You'll get lots of support here, keep up the good work!
 
wow...sorry to hear that girl....but the theory is right loss the man loss the weight. Keep it up and make him cry...
 
Congratulations on your new start to your life. The thing with us women is we do everything for everyone else (including the cat) before we do anything for our selves and it’s not till we are sucker punched in some way that we start thinking about our selves. Don’t do this to get at him do this for your self so you have a happier life .when that man sees you happy it will kick him were it hurts and guess what you wont care, because you will have a life.

Went to kickboxing class for 30 minutes and then exercised for one hour. We had two more family members to join today and it's awesome going to the gym with all of them. It's alot of fun and makes the time just fly by. I am sore today. :rolleyes: but that's a good things. At least I know i am doing something. Gotta work the next 3 days but gonna meet one of them there an hour before work starts to get in some exercise. also, had a health screen done today. My cholesterol was "fabulous, couldn't be more perfect" (that's the doctors exact words too) :D So, I feel good today. I am wanting to weigh but i know i can't do that yet.

A friend of mine went to gym with me before we went to work both Thurs and Fri. Today we went to work out, and they were closed so we didn't get to exercise. EVeryone is supposed to meet again for kickboxing class monday. I did end up weighing and have lost 3 more pounds. I am getting alot of comments about my weight loss which keeps me motivated.

Kinda feel guilty about not exercising yesterday and today but the gym is closed on weekends. I guess since i exercise and kickbox all the other 5 days it's okay though. just hope i don't gain over these two days. back to exercising tomorrow though. it was funny because at work (we all work together too) we were all moaning when we had to step up or sit down, etc. we were laughing at each other. But, it is so motivating to do it together and experience all of this together. hope none of them drops out.

havne't been able to be on here much the last few days cuz of working alot of hours. but, i have went to the gym mond-fri. they are closed sat and sun. i got all of my exercise in that i wanted to. kickboxing class mon, tues, wed. i noticed that i was not as sore as i was last week in kickboxing. that's a good thing, but she is throwing some new stuff in on us that I am sure will make me sore again. :eek: I haven't lost a pound this week though and i do know that I did eat some stuff that i shouldn't have. i will try harder this week. i even went and bought some low fat stuff. but who knows what your supposed to do? low fat, low carb, low calorie. i don't know. oh well, try and try and eventually i will figure it out.

went to gym to work out. did kickboxing for 40 minutes, then bike for 30 minutes. Got a free month of tanning so I started that today too. Also, the owner gave me a routine to go by as far as eating and exercising so i hope it helps. it makes me eat more per day than i do already which is scary because it's that many more calories im taking in. but she said that i wasn't taking in nearly enough anyway. we'll see. i will give her plan a week or so and see how i feel and if i lost anything.
 
remember if the scale does not go down it does not mean the measurements arent getting smaller. All that excersize you will build muscle which weighs more than fat.....I know what ya mean low this , low that....Arg you need a nutrionist to go shopping with you. I try to keep it simple...lots of fruit, veggies, lean meats low/no fat dairy and realy limit the processed foods, ie white flour, white rice, refined sugar.....those I think are the big baddies!!!!

Did 45 minutes treadmill, 40 minutes kickboxing, 30 minutes upper body weights, and tanned today. Feel good and have more energy probably because I am eating more. I really haven't felt this good in a long time. I just hope this eating more stuff will allow me to lose weight. I am so scared of gaining trying to eat my 1200 calories a day.
