    Default Weight seems to be an issue for alot

    I read about others weight. Some love theirs, others hate theirs, and some are just ok with what they have. I have stopped dancing like i used to in clubs, now Scores Miami wants shifts i can't work with due to me "real" job. The clubs up my way are many but suck, and know me all too well.

    SO, i have gained weight, i love to eat, and i don't get to move near as much as i used to. Private parties are not swinging on a pole, or walking around hustling, so i have lost that part of my life..(i know i said it before)

    I have been eating less, but to no avail. I have been walking at late nights to some degree this helps. I have been doing a tad of weights, god knows i lost my muscle tone when i stopped dancing. But i plan on getting it back!!! Tired of feeling fat, bloated, and just not happy with my looks.

    I have been doing my program for a few weeks now, and have awful ups and downs. Today i ate ALOT....Sux.

    Tonite i will walk more...how tiring. My stomache is loking pretty good, my legs i need to keep working weights with or they will be thin, it seems like you do one good thing for a certain part of the body and the other goes to pot.

    Here is me....A year ago i think (or close) topping out at 15-something.

    Now me topping out at 13-something...depends on when i weigh myself tonite when i go out tonite to walk. It all sucks, and it's HARD work.

    But i am sticking with it! Anyone who is pissed with their weight, or has tips, or just wants to change a little something, please chime in.

    Motivation is tough.....NO i don't look fine like my friends say, i am a tad heavy! Bottom line.

    I want to be 135 like i should weigh for my height.

    I just worked out again....Damn it sucks. I will NOT give in.

    Ladies any advice, rants, you're stories....Anything.

    Yeah, I gained 20 lbs on birth control pills this past year, and it's been hard trying to get it off. I was walking on my treadmill for 45 minutes on a regular incline at the fastest pace possible, once or twice a week. The weight was coming off slowly, like a 1/4 lb a week. Recently, for a change, I started doing a home version of stair stepping (I used a step stool). I did 45 minutes at a comfortable pace, alternating legs each set of ten reps. The first time I did it, my calves were sore, so I waited a week to do it again. The second time, no pain! I dropped 3 lbs that week! Maybe, my body had gotten used to the walking? Anyway, I've got 6 lbs to go! Good luck to you!

    about a week and 1/2 ago I was eating went on a doughnut and chip bing for an hour one night....also had a friend in town and was eating fried crap and lots of carby restaurant food. Usually I'm pretty good, but I wanted junk, lots of it..... I had been wanting to tighten up and I knew it was within me to be strict with myself, because I've done it before. Well Not kidding, from last week to this week just cooking and eating more protien and cutting out all refinded sugars..plus busting my ass on the elyptical trainer at the gym at least 3xa week with some weight training...I have a tight waste again. Just cutting out the sugars and lots of carbs..and eating egg whites and no breads has helped me tighten up. I don't eat after 8pmish. This is just what works my body..but I feel so much better that I'M in controll of my body...and belive me I have wanted to snack at times somenights...but I just would go to bed early or drink tea. I don't eat fat free stuff or deny myself things...but I don't back for seconds now

    You sound strong ..its just always hard to get back "in" to it. It was for me..there were days I really did not feel like going to the gym. But I felt so much better afterwards!!!

    Go girl!

    Hi! I posted a thread a while ago about wanting to start dancing, but needing to lose more weight first. I am a mom of two kids...2 1/2 and 10 months old. I am 5'4, 127 lbs, 36C, size8/9. I know I'm not fat, but am I too fat for dancing?? We really need the money but when you haven't danced before you always wonder what size is appropriate for dancing. What do you all think? Weight issues suck! I feel like I've always obsessed about it (as most women do) My hubby can eat anything he wants and never gains weight... Ugh! I have found that the only thing that works for me is weight watchers and walking. I can't afford to go to a gym, but I put the kids in the double stroller and off we go. Weight watchers does really work, but it is still so hard when you crave crappy foods. Why does stuff so bad have to taste so good?? Pamela....from what I have heard on the boards, you are pretty hot! Don't give up....we all need each others support. Thanks for letting me rant Should I start stripping now or wait?

    Not to be a smart ass or mean or anything soda, but did you mean to have your children that close together? I couldnt even have sex until like 6 months after I had my kid, it hurt so bad from the latex rubbing the inside of me.

    I need to lost 15-20 lbs but just don't have any willpower - I love cheese, carbs and sweet drinks........get angry with myself for having no willpower, hate myself for being so fat then hate myself even more when I try to cut back on food and only last 3 days or so at which point I just binge again...........have thought of slimming pills but am afraid for my health..........it's so frustrating, esp since I was about 24lbs lighter than I am from when I was 16 till I was about 27 then the weight started creeping on - before I know it I'm 31 and look like a beached whale.........
    Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, dance like no-one's watching..........and never cry over something that can't cry over you

    Let's all get a paddle and start rowing.....It sounds like we are all in the same boat to some degree or another. I have two little girls, oldest is 21 mos and the youngest is 7 mos. Being that they are so close together my body took a great beating the second time around. I ultimately I'm not concerned with what the scale says but how I look. Yes, probably to look the way I want to I need to drop atleast 15 lbs. My first goal was to change my eating habits and diet. I eat as much non-fat to low-fat food varieties as possible and don't continously snack and try not to eat after 7pm. With that goal conquered, (-5 Lbs.) and a new eating habit formed I can now concentrate on working in as much exercise as possible into my busy child filled day. Keeping house and running after my children really isn't as aerobic or toning as I hoped it would be.
    I have a treadmill and starting this week my starting goal is 20 mins three times a week for two weeks and then the second two weeks move it to four times a week at at least 30 minutes with two days of weights.
    I'm 5'6" and before my babies I was a size four with 36C boobies. Now post baby machine I am still the same height and a size eight-ten with 38DD boobies. I, like our beautiful, vuluptious Pamela gain weight everywhere. I am by no means saying I can compare myself in looks to Pamela, just that we hide any extra very well.
    I wish all of good wishes in meeting our goals....

    retired: Well, they really aren't too close together. My daughter will turn 3 on March 17th and my son will be 1 on April 17th...exactly 2 yrs. and 1 month We always said that we wanted them about 2 yrs. apart. I don't think I could handle them any closer....like Rusty here. Wow, now that is close!
    Rusty: I know how you feel. I thought I would lose more running after them also Oh well. How much did you gain with the pregnancies? I gained 40lbs both times. Are you nursing? It sounds like you are with those size boobies They say you drop weight quicker, but I found that the last 5-10 lbs came off easier after I quit nursing. At least I'm done having kids now. Anyways....someone said before that we are our worst critics. It is so true! We are all so beautiful and shouldn't beat ourselves up so much. The joys of being women! Good luck to all of you and don't give up on yourselves.

    Pam hang in there.. and don't fret... you aren't alone.

    Weight is an issue. I know that myself, personally I have had some major differences throughout the years...

    I was always 115-120 pounds until I had my daughter, then I gained and then I lost it all, then I ballooned to a whopping 170 pounds in 2001- I still look at those pictures and think, "My Gawd..." I was on a medication for my joints.. and thus, it made me gain weight.. so then I flushed those pills down the toilet because I just wasnt' happy with me anymore... and lost the weight the good ole fashioned way... salads, water and protein.. got down to 145 where I like to be...

    then, I went back to dancing... and then quit a few months ago, and lost a huge amount of weight- putting me down to high school weight again... but the problem is, is that I'm too thin but the weight is coming back on slowly... which is a good thing.

    Guess we're never happy is what my point is....

    I just love myself whatever the size I am.. and if no one else else likes it Fuck em!

    do you like soups? i eat pretty much constantly, but it's mostly soups with meat broths. i don't eat much in the way of carbohydrates (bread, pasta, potatoes). i eat basically meat and vegetables in soups or stews, depending. and some fruit, usually citrus. i recommend it as an eating style if you want to lose weight because i've lost weight despite sitting around the house a lot and eating all the time. and it's probably because i mostly like to eat soups and fruits. i'm not an atkins freak, but i have found a diet mostly containing meat is good for keeping one's weight at a pretty low and healthy level. just something you might want to try, if you like to eat, but no noodle-soups (carbohydrates).

    Over the summer, I was in perfect shape last year. My day job involved working out, so I had muscle tone and I was a lot smaller. Since I quit, I've been gaining weight and binge eating like crazy. I work at a bread store now, so I'm trying to avoid eating anything at our store. I take walks on my days off but that's pretty much it. I'm starting to eat soup and salad at work for lunch, yogurt for breakfast, but then at the end of the day, I end up breaking into the chocolate at my house. So, I'm thinking I'm going to start taking more walks, cooking healthier at home, and make healthier baked goods, like muffins instead of brownies.

    Go Pam!

    I've been exercising and I've been slowly cutting down my diet. I need to get used to drinking more water though. I do pilates two-three days a week, and I'm going to hit the gym this week. You could start a food journal right here so that we will support you in not cheating with your diet.

    Well, what is helping me is that I got a personal trainer. I have NEVER worked out so hard in my life and he gets on me about what I eat. He tells me to eat my carbs in the morning and at lunch and only protein in the evening. He asks me what I eat and chew me out if it's not good. He's not going to like the kind of weekend I had but it was Gasparilla and I went to a party so I'm sure he'll be a little lenient with me! I haven't seen much of a result yet but I've only been training for 3 weeks with him but I feel like I am working out so hard and eating so much better I ought to look damn good soon! All that hard work can't be for nothing! A lot of the excercises I do with him are just squats and lunges and push ups and cardio that I could do at home but I could NEVER make myself do it this hard.

    Hey Pam,
    I struggled with my weight at one time too. Xenadrine, worked wonders for me, it gave me energy, and suppressed my appetite too. I also worked out a lot. I ran three miles four to five times a week, mixed in with some weight training, and I also stuck to low carb meals, and the only carbs that I ate were in fruits and vegetables, i lost about 35 pounds doing this. Good Luck and I know you will reach your goal if you really try!

    Thanks hun. ^^^^. I can't take anything like that stuff. I have a heart condition that requires me to stay away from most cold meds, and diet stuff.

    I have to do this the old fashioned way. Lol. Tonite, i stayed home all night and ate very little, but enough. I worked my thighs with weights earlier. I hope all goes well. If i do alot of cardio at once my heart will skip beats...not good.

    Slow to start, but working it every day, even if it's mopping the floor for 20 min. it's moving my body.

    Thanks SOOOO much ladies for the motivation.

    Pamela

    You can do it, Pam! Exercise, exercise, exercise. And do allow yourself a nice treat or two per week (hamburger, sundae), and if you crave sweets, eat yogurt or yogurt-covered raisins. Allowing yourself to be bad will help prevent binging. I have never had to battle with extra weight--until I had a baby. I was 106lbs before going preggo, and I went up to almost 150 lbs. After giving baby my goodies from the boobies , I started counting calories and exercising. If I went over my caloric limit, I'd do as much exercise that would burn off those extra calories. I now weigh about 115lbs., and I look more like a woman.Just remember, eat less calories, exercise more. I know, it's sounds so simple but is so hard to do. But you can do it!

    Pamela,

    Find something that will inspire you in an athletic way. In college, I had an eating disorder. I would binge and starve, especially during finals. After binging, I would become reclusive and stay at home, because I was ashamed of myself and embarrassed to go out in public.

    I became tired of that lifestyle and joined a gym and just started moving. I tried to maintain the goal of getting a healthy body that looked good in the clothes I liked. I also wanted to be healthy enough to participate in any team sport and not suck. (Like volley ball, soft ball, (OK, I do suck at that. Can't hit worth sh_t )

    Now that I snowboard every winter, my workouts are geared for that sport and skating. I concentrate on being strong enough and fast enough. I don't trip on the weight so much. It just comes off in the process.

    'Another thing I do is walk-run to get my errands done; like going to Wal-mart, dry cleaners, post office, I used to even go to my stylist's place which was 15 blocks away. It is an easy work out and on the way back you carry stuff, so you can work your arms as well, especially shoulders and biceps while you are working your legs and doing cardio. This way you don't have to think of it as working out. You're just getting your errands done.

    Sorry this is so long. I see so many dancers use that stuff like Trim-Spa and other so called Miracle cures in a bottle. They just put the weight back on within weeks . I worked w/ a trainer for ten months, five years ago. I lost 20 lbs. and I have kept it off ever since, by moving. I do eat hamburgers and french fries, pizza, chocolate. Just not everyday and not tons of it.

    I think there are other things in life to stress about than weight.

    Good luck. You are an exquisitely good-looking woman. Just keep moving and don't think about it

    Cheers,

    Corey
