Just what I needed

Do you like when people notice your loss? Or does it bother you?

I ran into a guy I hadn't seen since I've lost weight the other day when I was feeling particularly craptastic about a 2 lb gain. When he saw me he looked shocked, and said, "You look fucking AMAZING!" Like three times, ha. That day I was feeling so down on myself, it really helped, and now I've passed the 3 days on plan point and am on day 4, which means I'm officially back on the perfectly on plan track.

I know some people hate being noticed, but I must say it made me feel like people, whether they say anything or not, have to be noticing by now.

On plan and at the gym:

I went to the gym yesterday for 45 mins. I'm going again on Tuesday and Thursday. I'm doing a liquid fast today. Protein drinks and fresh juice. Just for today though. Next week I will try and do two days. I just need to buy more fruit and veggies. But I should be able to get by with carrots and apples for just today.

How is everyone else doing? I've been trying to catch up on some blogs and have noticed people struggling all around the same time. Hope everyone is picking back up now too! :)

    :) It's so great when people notice without prompting. I was always disappointed when people didn't notice but my sister says people are just being polite and nervous about mentioning it. It was only when it was seriously noticeable that people blurted it out before they could censor themselves!

    Have a wonderful week! Great job planning your workouts :)

    Enjoy your liquid day!

    I used to hate when people noticed, but now I like it. Other than the person who was a total clod and said that he thought it was great I was doing so well because most obese people don't make an effort like I am. Ummmm...yeah. That pissed me right off.

    I have been struggling too sometimes, I admit, but hopefully will be fully back on track soon. I don't go seriously over my calories, and I certainly don't do it every day, but I want to get back to eating mid-range consistently again.

    I'm so glad you are back on track. I have been struggling big time the past few weeks and am starting to get back on track myself.

    PS - I like it when people notice I have lost weight. ;)

    safire, that's true some people think it's rude. Cuz it makes it sound like you looked bad before if they say how great you look now. ;)

    renee, that is horrible, people are so rude. Hope you're eating is going well!

    135, thanks, I feel ya it's been hard, I'm so ridiculous starting my day with carbs, it was a total slip up I didn't see coming what would happen! Annoying. :(

    and yeah it's nice eh? I ran into friends the other day that I hadn't seen in a yearand they were so shocked, it was cool. :)

"Nothing to say but Mmmmm" vegan alfredo

~*~*~This recipe is gluten free and vegan~*~*~ As are all my recipes Serves two. UPDATE: 3/17/2011 I have de-spiced this a bit and gave directions for a smaller serving of sauce. It seems I like my food spicier than most! ;) I've tried many vegan alfredo recipes I found online or in cookbooks and I never made one that i liked so much i made it twice. Always looking for something better. Tonight I messed around and created my own. My bf took one bite and he made.... The "O" face. Ha! He named this recipe when he said, "Nothing to say but Mmmm...". EDITED TO ADD: You will have LOTS of sauce left over, you can easily cut the sauce ingredients in half. Oops. What you need:  Here it is, excuse my horrible handwriting. I tried. ;) Here is a pic of stuff I used: Directions: I made the alfredo sauce while the gluten free (bionatura is my fave brand), pasta cooked.   I put 1 pack of mori nu lite silken tofu into the ninja ( my food processor above ), and...

I'm on my way!

That's it, I officially have diabetes. It's early, and I can reverse it if I try. I've started taking Victoza, it's an injection medication (non insulin) that makes you digest food more slowly. Keeping you feeling fuller longer. This is EXACTLY what I have always needed, because the anti-psychotics I take for my bipolar basically turn OFF my full signal. This stuff is great. in about three weeks I have lost 15 lbs. By my next doc appt (on july 19th) I am hoping to be back in the 200's. I'm only a few lbs away as is! I don't have much to say, other than I love this med and hope that it continues to work for me. I seem to have hit the medication jackpot. Bipolar meds are working great, I'm on neurontin now for my fibromyalgia, also working great, and now the victoza. Life feels in balance. I'm on my way!

"Courage is the hallmark of a warrior"

Are you traveling this path alone, or with your significant other? Joey and I started on this path in earnest on October 19th 2010. He eventually went veggie, I went vegan and we've both become pretty health conscious.  He's lost about 22 lbs, I've lost almost 70 now. (He doesn't have nearly as much to lose.)  Exposure Therapy Joey has a fairly wide streak of social anxiety. He came with me to the gym the day I got my free 3 day pass earlier this week. He even came on the tour of the gym with me, which was panic inducing for him. I had butterflies, but he was shaking and miserable just sitting in the waiting area after the tour, and he was all alone.  Today I asked him to sign up for the 3day pass. I know right now he doesn't have the time or the drive to get a membership, he just wouldn't use it enough for it to matter. But I wanted him to expose himself to the idea, I think exposure therapy is good for him, in many ways.  I think it can help a lot of peop...
