After blogging yesterday and the response that i got i felt a whole lot better. i did go for the power pump class but it tough & this morning i got off my arse and played badminton at 7am, it was a killer, but worth it. It got me thinking i can do this I have another power pump class tomorrow evening. I have to admit i feel good. i just want to say thank you to all those who responded because it makes me feel that i am not alone i will reach my goal. Well bye for now & God Bless.

Have you ever had a day when you dont feel like eating right or exercising, and that day turns into weeks & then longer. to get out of this slump take so much energy and that is where i am at the moment, it causing me concern because i am putting back the pounds & XMAS IS COMING. i have good buddies, but i have this all/nothing attitude which doesnt help. i am trying to be more flexible but thats not me. i have to admit the eating has got abit better, but boy the exercise is the problem i kinow what to do but to get my arse in gear is the problem. i just thought that i would share this you’ll.

I have been with buddyslim on and off for around a year now and lost around 60lb, so far. the problem is that my body is not as firm as i would like it to be. I have been exercising for almost twenty years. I spoke to Mark the personal trainer and he told me what to do. The thing is,  I actually know what to do, but I have put it in my mind that I wont succeed. I have some good weights dvds but I feel I will fail, so in a way I am sabotaging my own efforts. I know if I  take up the challenge I will be happy with the results but it is just getting my mind around it, plus I am extremely lazy so that doesnt help. Guys I need some encouragement & suppport. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what can i say fear is abad word, it holds you back and it prevents you from moving on. for years i have been overweight, but the fear of actually doing something about seemed too hard, so i was comfortable staying the way i was, but finally i have conquered my eating and i am eating much less. i have a background in exercise & nutrition, and again fear of trying something new when it comes to exercise puts me off i would stick to the routine i have been doing and not achieve much results. i just wish i could just close my eyes and & just do, but i am a thinker so i will eventually talk myself out of it. i am now trying to incorcporate strength training into my workouts as my body is not as firm as it used to be but i find it boring but i know, no amount of aerobics will give me the toned body i am looking for. so wish me luck i am going to try the get ripped dvd by jari love .

hello to all my buddyslim collegues could you please tell how i could join the weighloss/ fitness challenge because i havent got a clue. cheers

hello everybody i just wanted to wish eveybody a happy new year, now that’s done let get back to busines. as i told alot of you before i had a bet with one of my collegues to lose 84LBS by the 31st july 2008. i have to admit it hasn’t been easy and sometimes i feel i am my own worst enemy, by me personally sabotaging my good efforts with my emotions. i have to learn how to control them as that’s what affects my mood on whether today i will eat properly & exercise or whether i am going to binge. today is a new day and i am trying to take it one day at a time, but i am not the most patient person. personally i thinks this is going to be the hardest thing i will ever do. i have lost weight in the past, but i was younger and i didn’t have that much to lose, but what i have noticed with my yoyo dieting the weight loss has slowed down considerably before io could lose like 4lbs in a week but now if i lose 1-2 lbs i should be grateful. so it going to be a long hard slogg but i know with my support from my buddies. i can do it. ps. i have set myself a 4 week challenge, wish me luck.

hi guys sorry i haven’t been in contact for awhile. i am just collecting my thoughts. guess what u won’t believe it my collegue keith set me up. the bet is actually still on but i didn’t know it.  i had previously told you that keith had said all bets were off, so i have to say i relaxed, so yesterday my friend told me what keith had planned. i was so disapponted so i didn’t really talk to him and now he is in  a stropp, because,  he blamed my friend that told me and then he turned on me. don’t get me wrong maybe i should’nt have slacked with my eating, but why did he deceive me , we were supposed to be friends.

i came into work yesterday and my collegue keith has decided to call the bet off. he said that he didn’t want to take my money. i protested that its not fair. as i have now lost a total of 13lbs.[weighed myself at the gym on sunday]. To be honest about it i wasn’t happy, but i have now had time to sleep on it, I just felt a huge weight lifted of my shoulders. that’s not to say that i won’t continue on my weighloss journey, but i won’t be disappointed . if i dont lose 2.5lbs a week, even weightloss of 1lb is an accomplishment. i know some of you will feel this is a coward’s way out, but i have to admit it was really  stressing me out.

i just wanted to say thanks to everybody for all the comments, kinds words and encouragement. it has really helped. i have already lost 10lbs i was originally 295 but i got down to 290 by the time i joined buddyslim, i weighed myself this morning iam now 285. if i could lose around 2.5lbs a week i should have lost the weight in time. i was just feeling down and its so easy to give up but with your help i will do it this time. i will definitely wiped that grin off the bugger’s face. i just want to say again thanks i really appreciate it.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
