Last night I was up watching tv and saw an infomercial about the six week body makeover. $120+shipping. So I googled reviews about it and discovered that it is a diet based on your body type. Now I have heard about this before but I did not realize that this body makeover diet was about that. The commercial with results looked great! Anyway I further googled the body types and found mine. It described me to a T. Furthering my search I looked into the diet and exercise plan that my body type should follow. It took me about 20minutes to search and print what I wanted and it was FREE! I was excited! This actually sounds like something I could do as a lifestyle change NOT a diet. If anyone else is interested look up ectomorph,mesmomorph and endomorph body types. I found my type and then searched for free diet and exercise for endomorph(mytype) and a slew of stuff came up. I am not saying that this is a miracle and it has been around for some time. But I do believe that one diet plan is not for everyone and there has to be more to it than healthy eating and exercise. When you find your type then you can adjust your eating and exercise to benefit you. I feel good about it because when I eat the whole grains, monitor my intake and exercise I lose 5 pounds and not an ounce more. If I do adkins I lose 8 pounds and not a pound more. I think it is worth a try because it does make sense. I had a “light bulb” moment when I read the various web sites and discovered that this was true reagarding my type!

Yes that is right I am putting it out there. I need help! Help to get and stay motivated. Help to continue exercising, and help to realize that this is not an overnight ordeal and someone to remind me of that.  I have been sick soo much this winter and missing work. Not only that but my body has hurt sooo much that I have been missing work for that too. I can either loss weight or my job and with this economy I can’t afford that. So I’m choosing weight loss. I am only 5ft tall and weigh 220. I exercise very little if at all. I think I know everything there is to know about diet and exercise but if I did I wouldn’t be here. Fact is I love food! It’s my friend during frustration, a pick me up when I am down, A shoulder to cry on and a confidant. Well I am looking for this in a buddy. If this is you drop me a line. Maybe together we can go through this struggle and win this war. I am mentally stable (haha) I just need to win and conquer this battle once and for all. I don’t think I can do it alone.

I am lacking any form of motivation. I know I need to loose weight for my health and over all well being. But I cannot find the get up and go. What do you do? Any advise? who can help me to get started?

I am looking for a walking buddy that lives in or near toledo. If you are interested let me know.

Hi everyone.  I have not been on the site for sometime and the reason because i felt like i was lying to myself.  Coming to the site with great intention and for a few weeks doing great with the diet.  Then one false move and i was off the wagon.  Back to eating more and moving less. Oh sure I have had a few intervals of healthy diet and some exercise yet one false move and i was tko’d again.  I can’t understand why this happens so often to me.  Yes i know i am an emotional eater so i put that in check.  I know all of the risks of being heavy my god i see it all the time at work.  Do i just lake motivation or am i just plain lazy.  I know i do not like being fat.  I want to be at a weight that i can do small every day activities and not need an oxygen tank.  Then when my monthly friend roles around i get the worst cravings for junk and i give in like a 2 year old!  Having to worry about every bite i put into my mouth is starting wreck my brain.  I lose weight on low carb but i hate eggs so i get defeted at breakfast.  If i follow like the ww core program i feel like that is not enough reins around my neck.  Exercise - I HATE IT!!!!!  On days that i work 6am-8pm that is out of the question.  I guess in writing this just blowing off steam.  Eventually i will get my sh** together.  Any ideas or advice. 

JUST TO UPDATE. I SAID I WOULD BLOG MORE SO HERE IT IS. THE CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE IS REALLY MOTIVATING. I HAVE STUCK TO LOW CARB A CROSS BETWEEN ATKINS AND SOUTHBEACH.  I AM HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THE WATER DEAL AND MY EXERCISE HAS NOT BEEN GREAT BUT I WILL GET THERE. WE JUST GOT A NEW PUPPY AND LIFE AROUND HERE HAS BEEN WILD. NOW THAT SUMMER VACATION FOR THE KIDS IS HERE IT WILL REALLY BE WILD.  WORK IS ALWAYS STRESSFUL.  I HAVE AN ORIENTEE WITH ME AND I WONDER HOW SHE EVER PASSED BOARDS.  I MEAN SHE IS JUST NOT GETTING THE WHOLE PICTURE AND I THINK THAT ONE DAY SHE WILL END UP DOING MAJOR DAMAGE.  I HAVE SAID SOMETHING TO HER BUT SHE IS CHINESE AND I THINK THERE IS A LANGUAGE BARRIER THERE.  WHEN I ASK HER SHE THINKS SHE IS DOING FINE.  SO I JUST DECIDED THAT TOMORROW I AM JUST GOING TO TELL HER WHAT I SEE AND FEEL.  SHE OTTA KNOW THE TRUTH.  MY DAUGHTERS BIKE WAS STOLEN FROM OUR YARD AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS SAW IT AT A PAWNSHOP AROUND THE CORNER.  WHEN I WENT TO GET IT HE WOULD NOT RELEASE IT AND STARTED TO CUSE AT ME.  SO I SPENT THE DAY AT THE POLICE STATION FILING A REPORT AND HE STILL WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE BIKE.  THE POLICE CAME AND NOW ON THURSDAY I HAVE TO GO DOWNTOWN AND SPEAK TO A DETECTIVE.  HE CAN NOT SELL THE BIKE BUT THIS HAS BEEN A ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS.  WELL ENOUGH I HAVE TO GET READY FOR WORK AT 5:00AM. GOD BLESS ALL! 

is a killer. I mean I have every intension to lose weight the minute i stress out i eat. Even though i have been trying to get this under control it still is my worst enemy. So having lost ten pounds since joining this site, I have gained it back!!! I am back to my original starting weight and am gonna try this again. Going low carb because i have pcos and that is the best diet. I know it’s supposed to be a way of life but right now i just need to lose the weight. The lifestyle change can come eventually.  I need to get this weight off before my birthday in january. This may sound vain but i would love to wear a sexy party dress on that day. So having blogged today i will make every attempt to blog even if it seems boring as h*ll. Thanks for listening

This site is great and everything for support.But I think it should be a place to meet people that live near you to form exercise groups!  Any thoughts to that! Not that I don’t think the site is great but I just don’t have alot of time to sit in front of a computer everyday.

Well back from the falls. We left on Good friday and had such a good time! I was not faithful to SB at all. Made at myself of coarse. I learned alot about me though. I learned that I make excuses to go off my diet like vacation. I could of ate good but why i was taking a break from it all.  If i eat something that is not on my diet then i figure i just blew it and then blow it the rest of the day.  I also learned that work is a big trigger for me because the girls just eat whenever(emotional) and at a hospital food is everywhere.  The girl that is my biggest trigger is on vacation starting next week for i think a week so that will be a big help to me.  So knowing all this i decided to get back to the beach.  I love the way i feel doing low carb and it really does work for me when i stick with it.  I sat down and made out a list of meals that i like and can cook easily on days that i have to work(5am-8pm). I found a water bottle that i like to carry to work.  My husband will pretty much eat what ever i cook so on my days off the diet should be easy. Exercise on the other hand is hard. There is no way i can do it after work and up @ 4am is just dangerous for me.  I will be sitting down to figure that one out. Well today is day one back on board and the day was good. One day at a time.    

Happy easter to everyone! I’m going out of town to niagara falls for the weekend. Stay on your diets and talk with ya monday.
