Should I?...
I've been considering joining the Metabolic Research Center near my town in order to help me lose weight. I seem to need some help getting myself motivated and I met someone who is going there and has lost 30 pounds in about 4- 5 months. Basically it's real food, plus some vitamins/protein shakes/supplements. I need to lose 75 pounds and according to 'their plan' it would take me 24 weeks...the total program cost is $398 plus cost of supplements. The real benefit of the center in my opinion is one on one weigh ins, and one on one dietary supervision. While the consultants are not nutritionists or dietitians, just knowing I was showing my food journal to a live person could be helpful. I hesitated in even posting this since this blog has been so neglected in it's original purpose. Everyone has been so encouraging and uplifting in the comments you have made and that alone has helped me a lot! Has anyone out their ever tried Metabolic Research Center or know of anyone who has? I'd love to hear your opinions. Thanks!!

Another month and still no miracle
I haven't been posting weekly because what is there to post about when you're not losing weight? It's such a struggle and I so wish there was an easy way to conquer this! This weekend mom and I went to see Fireproof which was a great movie about relationships, specifically about the struggles husbands and wives face in marriage. Kirk Cameron was the lead actor and who didn't love him from childhood? I know I did. The whole movie just made me want to be married, granted the whole movie is about them trying to find their way through turmoil...the end was so sweet. It made me want a man to care for me, to love me, and to be broken if I was broken.
I guess I'm saying all this here because I really feel like if I don't lose weight I am closing the door to marriage for myself. (In my mind) Men don't want to date or fall in love with fat people. They. just. don't. I'm 33 years old and I've dated through the years. I've seen men call, respond, act interested when I'm thinner...at this size it's as if I'm nonexistent. I'm not the biggest person in the world, but sometimes it feels like it. I've been on e harmony and match.com in the past and have always made my pictures in my profile public because I want to be able to see the guys I'm reading about as well. And, it's so interesting to see the guys close out communication with me before they've even exchanged emails. Of course I guess I've done this before too...you can usually tell a lot about someone from their pictures. You know if you could be attracted to them. I post pictures that are honest (although I have thought about photo shopping my head on someone else's body!), but I think I look like a normal person...
Sure... I wish my face wasn't so round and that I didn't almost have a double chin and I would really love an olive complexion that wasn't so porcelain white, but this is me. I never really thought much about disliking what I actually look like until the last few years when I really know that men don't see me as attractive. It's not actually my face, but my body...a real woman size 18...smart, professional, funny, normal, and confident with everything about my life except the number on the scale!
On one of those sites you have to describe your body type...slender, athletic, curvy, about average, etc. You get to choose what body type you are 'interested in'. I've not seen any (or many) people check the pretty plus choice. I don't know what all the terms are but I'm saying the guys that seem interesting to me have put stipulations on their matches for them to be athletic toned or slender. I understand, I think it is a sign (to them) of weakness or another problem they want to not get into. But I believe I'm a good person, I'm not gorgeous but I can look nice. I have great taste in clothes and accessories. I'm just a regular person who would like to have a date with someone decent and charming of the opposite sex! I eventually got so discouraged from those dating websites that I stopped joining. I told myself...when I lose weight I'll try again. Just one more thing to add to my list of "Things to do when I lose weight"...I wonder when that will be?

I'm still here
Thanks for checking in...there has been no progress but I'm still here! I'm having a Rocky marathon this weekend (bought the whole box set on half.com a couple weekends ago) to try and motivate myself. If Rocky can go the distance with Apollo Creed I know I can get up at 5 am for a nice brisk walk in the morning! I'm sure I'll be around soon. The beginning of school, fall football weekends, and other excuses have gotten in my way from being motivated. I hope you are doing better than I am!

My Stats: Week Five
Weight: 229
No loss, no gain
This isn't so bad because I have not exercised any this week, I have eaten a lot compared with my usual diet this weekend because of company in town, and I've enjoyed the feeling of being bloated and extra cranky due to the other monthly visitor girls are so fortunate to have. (sorry if it's tmi...but this is my health journal!) I actually canceled my membership to the Y this week. I didn't want to do it, but I am just too tired to go in the afternoons and I prefer to come home and visit with Maddie and Eddie before they leave for the day. Gyms have never been a favorite place of mine and so I thought I could make use of that $46/month fee for something else.
I'm going to go back to waking early in the morning (4:55 a.m.) and walking at my house (on my driveway...it's long!). Early morning is the best time for me to get in exercise, before I'm exhausted by the days demands! Also, for me anything I can do at home I am actually more likely to do. I loved the Y once I got there, but it's the getting there that was a problem.
So a new week, a new plan, a new goal!

Still Trying...
As important as I know exercise is, it's still so hard for me to like, enjoy, or force myself to do. This is a busy time of the school year, a time when I am exhausted because of the demands of each day. There is never a great time to start a plan and become perfect at it I guess. That's why I'm recording my journey here. So I can learn from my mistakes and victories.
This week I only exercised twice. Monday I went to a class and Wednesday I walked on the treadmill at the Y. My goal is to attend at least 3 classes a week (M, W, and Th.) So far I can't seem to muster up the energy or enthusiasm to attend the Thursday class. I'm completely exhausted after school (especially the end of the week) and this severely interferes with my time at home with Madison and Eddie. However, I think classes give me variety in my workout routine and they work me hard too. So, I see the importance of them. When I go, I actually do enjoy them, the teachers are always nice and friendly. They show me low impacts variations to do if they see me struggling to do a particular part. So, I guess my point here is I'll try again this week to improve on my daily exercise routine.
Food...I've been ok this week. I still haven't started to record my food in order to count calories. I had more sweets this weekend than usual because of my sister's birthday party. But there is always an excuse I guess. I'm trying, I've got to try harder though. Let's see what the scale says in the morning!!

My Stats: Week Three
Weight: 231
+3 pounds
This was hard to post...not sure what was happening except that I did record yesterday about my food intake. I also went to the county fair yesterday (after I posted) and consumed a lot of fair food! I'm sure that didn't help the weigh in this morning. I'm hitting it strong today, so next week I can post a loss.
Out of Curiosity I wanted to know how many calories I actually consumed at the fair:
1/2 Funnel Cake = 400
Roasted Corn on the Cob dipped in butter = 300
Lemonade = 210
1/2 Orange Julius = 250
1/2 Chocolate Dipped Cone = 400
Small Corn Dog = 250
Total: 1,810

This Week
This week was OK. I exercised Monday and Tuesday mornings, went to a class on Wednesday after school, walked Thursday after supper, and did not do anything Fri-Sun (does shopping count?) So overall, that is better than the prior week.
Diet was ok as well, I cooked Monday and Tuesday, ate at Chili's on Wednesday night (Grilled Chix with rice and black beans), Thursday night was leftovers, Friday night PF Changs (this was not a good choice...Crab Wontons, Lettuce Wraps, and Lo Mein), Saturday I cooked Fish...however I also ate 3 mini cream puffs and 4 mini petifores. Those were not good choices.
Weigh in is in the morning and we'll see what my body says. It's still a work in progress...
These are some interesting facts I've learned along the way and I want to keep in mind:
1 pound of body fat = 3,500 calories
you must burn 250-500 calories per day = weight loss
You should eat at least 1,200 calories per day and stay between 1,500-1,800 for weight loss
To maintain weight loss = 2,000-2,500 calories per day
My Daily Calorie Goal=1,610
My weight goal = 107.8-145.1 (for normal BMI range)
My current BMI=39
3 months of anything can change your life expectancy
You should be able to walk 1/4 of a mile in 6 minutes
#1 Body Agers:
1. Diet
2. Excercise
3. Sleep
4. Sun
5. Stress
Food Labels, What you don't want to see:
More than 10 grams of fat per serving
More than 500 milligrams of sodium per serving
Any Trans Fats
More than 25 grams of carbs per serving
What you do want to see:

My Stats: Week Two
Monday, August 11, 2008
Weight: 227.5
-2.5 pounds
This is really surprising to me, because I didn't/don't feel like I've lost weight this week. I've eaten out a lot and haven't watched the food intake as much as I need to. I walked 4 mornings this week (M-Th. only)
So this coming week I really want to do some things more carefully. First, I am walking/exercising everyday...I feel like I have to. Secondly, I want to watch my food more carefully by counting calories and eating out less. I'm reading some books and compiling more information that I find interesting. I'll post my new finds later. Today was the first day of school and I'm exhausted!

More of the Plan...
The week ended with me completing my early morning walking 4 days last week. I did not get up on Friday and walk and I took the weekend off. However, I do not think I will plan to do that anymore. I don't think at my weight that I should take any days off. I really need to see some results and with the amount of weight I need to lose I should definitely be exercising 7 days a week. I'm also going to start keeping a food diary (something I've done MANY times) and start counting calories. I'm reading Bob Harper's (from Biggest Loser) new book and he gives a pretty good description of the amount of calories you should consume in order to lose weight. I've done this before and it is so surprising when you total up the calories from your usual day. Eating out is the culprit of a lot of extra calories. So I think my daily calorie consumption will be around 1800 calories and I'll take it from there...
Weigh in is on Monday morning. I don't feel like I've lost any weight which honestly... sucks! However it has felt really good to get out and walk each morning. It also helps me get to bed at a reasonable time at night (because I'm so tired) and I sleep great!

The Song Behind the Blog
If you have your computer on mute, you must listen to my wonderful inspirational music! I love Rocky Balboa, I've said that many times over here! There is something about a man that continually comes back after being beaten half to death. (I'm not going to do the raw egg protein drink, though!) And come on, you have to love the love story between Rocky and Adrienne!!!!?!!!! Well, anyway it motivates me and I like it. And then I added Beastie Boys for a little fun...I guess I'm fighting for my right to be a healthier me!
Two days...success so far with walking! Getting up at 5am and walking the driveway is going well. My walking partner (m0m) is supportive, she needs the exercises too. We don't talk much at 5am, but just knowing she's there is comforting. What would we do without moms? I just hope this walking is going to be enough to transfer some weight loss on the scale. I guess we'll see.

The Plan
Well, here's the plan. I'm trying to get out of 'obesity' and into 'normal weight' and this is how I'm going to do it:
First of all, I'm using this blog as my weight loss/diet journal. These words are for me, to journal and chronicle this journey. If you want to peak inside and see what's going on go ahead. Please don't cast judgement on my inability to control my weight, believe me I do enough of that! I'm keeping this blog public as motivation for myself and also to motivate the other fat girls out there who may find reading about my journey helpful or inspiring in some way. Sometimes it just makes you feel better to know another fat girl is out there with your same thoughts.
Secondly, I'm actually posting my weight and clothing size for the world to see. I'm not sure why, except to say...why not? I have to be real with myself first and admitting the real numbers is the first step. It's really not like anyone out there somehow believes I'm a size 10 and 150 pounds. The plan is for these numbers to actually go down! I thought about doing the whole measuring body parts and all, but it's too time consuming. I think weight and clothing size is sufficient for me.
Thirdly, I'm going to start moving. I'm a member of a gym...how many fat people are out there carrying gym memberships? I hate going, always have and I rarely go. Something about getting in the car and driving to the gym...I don't know I just am not one of those people who enjoy it at all. The thing is, exercise has to be easily put into your daily routine. It can't be too complicated to schedule and it has to be during part of my day when I actually have energy to move. For me, the best time is 5:00 a.m. This doesn't always work out, but it's my best time. So this morning mom and I got up and walked our driveway for (almost) 30 minutes...hey it's a start. (Our driveway is long...we live in the country) There is really no excuse to not walking everyday...except rain and cold...but that won't happen very much. I actually laughed at mom when she said the cold won't bother her b/c we turn on our gas fire at night when it gets down to like 60 degrees! I'm not giving up my gym membership yet, but we'll see. It is $46/month I could be saving...

are cupcakes bad?
This week I wanted, really wanted to start my exercise regimen. It didn't happen. I'm not sure what my excuse is, when it was time to go to the gym I just didn't want to. Then I spent a very stressful day at court for a custody hearing for one of my students from last year. I was there all day long with no food or drink...not a pretty sight! Since I was downtown and starving, I stopped by this cute little cup cake bakery because I heard they were really good. (Of course they are!) So I proceeded to buy 4...German Sweet Chocolate, Spumoni, Lemon Dream, and Texas Milk Chocolate. No, I did not eat them all in one day...I spread it out and ate one per day for 4 days.
During the day, when I wasn't eating the cupcake I actually did pretty well with my food intake. I was at school all week and so I took my lunches and healthy snacks for the day. I was busy working and arranging my classroom. By the time I got home (around 4pm I was so craving that cupcake!). Tomorrow I'm planning on going to the gym once again. I'm not working at school tomorrow so I have nothing else going on. I need to take some time to acclimate myself to the gym I pay for each month, but haven't actually visited in several weeks.

Obesity, BMI, what does all this mean?
I went to a meeting about being too fat, ok it was really an informational meeting for lap band surgery and gastric bypass. It was interesting. I learned a lot. It scared me to see what my future holds if I don't take charge of my health. At this point I'm 'on the fence' teetering between a 40 and 41 BMI (Body Mass Index)...you have to have at least a 40 in order to be considered for either surgery. This is a score (if you will) that I don't want to meet. It says something about you, technically that you are obese. Really it says something in my life is out of control and I try to compensate by eating too much and moving too little...and bonus I get to carry around these extra pounds like the scarlet letter so everybody can see my issues.
According to the BMI charts, in order to be in 'normal weight range' ( I don't think I've ever been there, I was a 9 pound newborn only 18 inches long...fat is cute as an infant, not cute as an adult!) I'd need to weigh at the very most between 141-145 pounds...this depending on if I put that I'm 5'4" or 5'3". I'm really only 5'3" (height is not on my side, I'd love to add about 4-6 inches in my torso area), but sometimes I can stretch it out!! I can't imagine weighing only 145 pounds, it would take me into a dimension beyond reality. The least I've ever weighed is 150 pounds and I was 15 years old at the time. What are the chances I could ever see that again 18 years later?
I'll try not to be consumed by the numbers at this point in the weight loss game, but it's good to know what the destination is! Oh yeah, back to the meeting...I'm going to try to work this battle out on my own for now without the use of surgery. I haven't ruled that out in the future and have no judgements about people who do. Thankfully with my age (33) and my health issues (none) I don't think I'd qualify now.

Tennessee...a fat state
I love my state, I really do. Something about 4th grade...learning your state's history that endeared me to Tennessee forever. It's gorgeous in the fall, cool in the winter, so pretty in the spring, and warm in the summer. But I've recently learned one thing that is not so great about Tennessee...we're the third fattest state in the country. How can this be? Up unto this point I've done my share in contributing to this fact. I really hope to start turning that around.
Let's Get Started
I can't tell you how many times I've started this weight loss thing...start, fail, start, fail, start, fail. It's been my life story. For a quick recap you can go here. I'm disgusted with myself and I realize I have to change my habits. So this blog is dedicated to chronicling my story, my journey through fat camp. For now, I'm being realistic. I'm not joining anything, I'm not paying any money to do this. Believe me, I've paid enough in the past and gone to enough meetings in the past to know what to do. I could lead my own 'how to lose weight seminar'. It's not rocket science. You consume fewer calories and burn more...sounds simple? It. is. not.
I'm going to check in from time to time and use my blog here as a weekly weigh in, check in, accountability partner. Make (kind and encouraging) comments if you wish, but this is really just for me to keep track of my body. I've left this blog public for now in case anyone else out there may need some encouragement as well. I know I'm not the only one who struggles with weight, I hope we can conquer this together!
