Guest guest Posted October 25, 1999 Report Share Posted October 25, 1999 Hi gang, I'm , 45, live in new orleans, but was born and raised in new york city...have been in nola (new orleans, louisiana) since 82. I'm currently unattached...and not happy about it. No kids...not unhappy about that. I'm a social worker. My primary job is as a school-based social worker in two elementary schools. My secondary jobs are: (1) coordinating the gynecological teaching associate program at LSU Medical and Nursing Schools (where instructors show students how to perform breast & pelvics on them with care and sensitivity prior to touching patients) and (2) contract work as mitigation investigator in post-conviction capital cases (I gather info and write up reports for defense attorneys that shed light on why convicted murderers they represent might have done what they were convicted of, so, if given a new penalty phase of their trials, they might end up with life, instead of death). Phew! ::pant, pant:: I lost 65 pounds on Weight Watchers and doing step aerobics and weight lifting. Then I found Tae Bo and am amazed by the changes...in body and everything else. ::smiles:: Be well, friends! who loves Barbara's little addenda at the end of each post :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you are so involved in stimulating positions that perhaps have little time available for your social scene?

Guest guest Posted October 25, 1999 Report Share Posted October 25, 1999 I'm sure that everything is going well for you Lucie. But I've heard some pretty horrible stories about people meeting on the internet... Just want to say this so that people know that it CAN workout (like one of my friends who met her husband on the internet), but it doesn't always (most of my other friends that have had bad experiences)... Be aware, that you never know what kind of creeps you can meet online... some people are actually out there to take advantage of you...

Hi ! New Orleans is my favorite place to visit! I went there for the first time in 1997 and fell in love with the place. Finally made it back this spring. I have a close group of internet friends (Highlander fans) and we've planned to meet there for a nice " gathering " and vacation every other year. 2001 here I come! Nothing much to say about me. I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan... a 47-year-old divorced mother of two. My daughter is 27 (her son is 4), and my son is 23( he has a daughter Kourtney 5 and a son Jaron 6). I celebrated my 20th anniversay on my banking job in March, and am currently attending college in an effort to get a bachelors degree in computer sciences. I'm about half way there. Just this year I decided what I *really* want to be when I grow up... a web designer. So far I only have one client (my skills are beginner level), but I have every intention of learning more and eventually being able to work full time from my home. That's about it for me! -- Sandy who has already learned that she has a *lot* in common with Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Hey, I'm also from New Orleans. I've been here since 86!!! I still haven't opened up my Tae-bo though. I wish I had the motivation. Sigh Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 I know exactly how you feel. I always crave chocolate and once I start cannot stop. I seem to have this persisting negative voice in my head that is always struggling with my good intentions especially when I stop losing weight for a while. > I am having the worst time curbing my cravings for sweets.

As soon as I mention I'm trying to get fitter, home come the donuts, chocolate etc. He has a fairly low self image and I think he feels threatened by this and feels a lot safer having an overweight, unfit wife rather than an awesome, toned one (I wish). > Is anyone else in this boat where their family consistantly sabotages them, > and then tells you you look " ok " .

Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Hi guys!! I've had the Tae bo tapes for about 8 months now, and have done them off and on...3 months here, 2 months off, another month here.. Anyway, I've been sticking with it since September, except during certain high stress times, like a death in the family, etc. I just got the BL1, and I love it. Much better than the studio tapes. Just tried it this am. I like the pace a lot. I took Karate for a year about 5 years ago, and was SO FIT. I remember that, and thats my goal..just to be fit, and toned, and FIT INTO MY CLOTHES!! I read that someone here homeschools. We homeschool too, and I thought Barb sounded familiar, so I wanted to ask Barb if she is from PA. We are really enjoying the homeschooling. We've had some rough days, but I think after this week things will smooth out. I hope anyway. I also work every other weekend and whenever else it fits in. I am a big sweetaholic. I am having the worst time curbing my cravings for sweets. I just don't know what to do to stop sabotaging myself...and thats exactly what it is. I wake up with the right intentions,a nd then a few hours later I rationalize that , hey this isn't going to hurt anything...or I say " AAAwww you don't look THAT bad " , especially since my mother and my friends have been telling me that. But my mother is heavier than I am, and my friends have said that again and again, and all the while I have gained 15 pounds. I don't hear them saying that much anymore!! I dont' have a lot to lose. Maybe 15-20 pounds conventionally speaking. I don't use a scale because health is more important, but I say 15-20 just so you have an idea of where I'm at. My mother cannot understand why I would want to lose the weight at all, after all SHE' d be happy with my figure...PLEASE. But would she be happy to gain 10 pounds every year? Because that is what is happening to me. I don't care about the pounds. I care that I don't have control of my appetite. I care that my jeans are very uncomfortable, and they are a 12-14 that used to hang on me. Is anyone else in this boat where their family consistantly sabotages them, and then tells you you look " ok " . My husband says " you don't look that bad " and then goes on to point out that " hey, I love you just the way you are " . Well thats nice, and I'm glad, but obviously I'm not where *I* want to be!!! Why can't anyone else just support MY goals?? Like, " thanks hubby, but could you leave the irresistable chocolate peanut butter ice cream at home please??? " , who is frustrated with having to fight this battle on her own, but glad that Blanks invented Tae Bo!!! Re: Intro >.... taught myself how to sew this summer.

When someone says that I don't look THAT bad, I always ask myself questions, cuz I interpret that I look bad, but it's not catastrophic yet. To me that is an insult, and enuff for me to react on. I want people to say I look good, not THAT bad... Maybe I'm just too hard on myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 My name is , I'm from the U.S...the State of land near Washington, DC. I have a 6.5 year old daughter who at 4.5 was diagnosed PDD- NOS/Asperger, SPD, Receptive/Expressive Language Disorder, Anxiety, ADHD. We've been doing biomed since she was 5 and have had tremendous success. I run a local GFCF diet support group and forum. I am very involved with various online forums related to diet, recovery and SPD. This puts me in contact with people from all over the world and I've been getting frustrated by my lack of European resources. I joined this group so I can get a better feel for what is happening over there in the 'biomed/autism' world and also to gain resources for others. Thanks for letting me 'listen in' from across the pond... in US http://free-mealer.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
