Hi Duaine

I had a similar experience. It was called an " Atheists and Agnostics

(Appendix II) " meeting and was basically about stopping being an

athesit or an agnostic.

Also there was my sponsor who insisted on knee bending and certainly

didnt talk like the athesit he claimed to be.

Hi Duiane,

Then there are the groups who push the higher power thing(god).

Say they believe - but don't. I mean some of these people

could win an oscar for their performance. Either way, the main

purpose is to have **you** 'believe'. Any belief, in any thing -

god, the group, them, the 'doornob'. Once that's acheived, the

scheming can continue. It's a higher 'power' thing alright -

and they want it. And its not just in aa either. These people

'tweek' for power.

Hi Kandi and welcome to the group. Glad you have found the

motivation to start making healthier changes in your life. One thing

you might want to start doing is try eating at least three meals a

day instead of one. 6 smaller ones is even better I think. This

should help in the energy department and stabalize your matabolism.

Both of which are going to help you lose weight. More energy to

exercise and a faster moving metabolism to burn calories. There are

some great post and articles you might want to go back and read some

of the older post. Gena post alot of really helpfull and

imformational articles.

Take care,

Rhonda

Welcome Kandi, you will find heaps of support in this group and they seem like

nice ladies, Oh, and guys too.I think you really need to eat more than one meal

a day to lose weight. But I'm sure you know that. The hard part is changing your

eating habits. But you can do it!!!

OK Ronni, we have a problem. See how you say exercising is hopeless,

and mention that you only did your WATP tapes 3x, partway through??

Well, I haven't so much as taken the cellophane off MY exercise

tapes, which on your scale makes me LESS than hopeless. And I'm not

accepting that. =+)

So, how about we shake hands, I welcome you to the group, and we

agree that we are both " having difficulties establishing an effective

and lasting exercise routine " ??? =+)

Hey, it should have at least got a giggle! Now, do you want to hear

what we do with " Negative Nellies " around here, or do you promise

that upon reading this email, you will commit to drinking an eight-

ounce glass of water today. The others will tell you, I'm tough. =+)

So I insist you start this lifestyle change at a pace you can deal

with, today's assignment for you being that eight-ounce glass of

water. Deal? =+) (((hugs)))

And if that doesn't work, we'll show you a picture of a puppy with

big sad eyes, to get you to drink that glass of water.

Hi Ronnie and welcome to the loop. You want support? You got

support. We are all in the same boat and trying our best to find

the oars. Down to 232 from 267 is certainly a step in the right

direction and no small feat, so now let's get serious and get that

weight off! You can do it. You've lost already and you can lose

again. Hope to see more of your posts and hear more about you.

Hi Ronni, just wanted to say welcome to the group. My name is Leanne and I am

46yrs old, married with four kids (young adults) and have a weight problem. But

in the last two years I have lost 47kg (100+lbs). I think you have to be in the

right frame of mind to lose weight and you will get there. I lost the weight

with weight watchers but find what works for you and work it. In my opinion and

I think some people agree, you have to make lifestyle changes, track your food

intake and find a heap of support. Oh and exercise of course. Take care and have

a great day!

Oh and I am a grandma now!!!!!!!!!! My little grandson was born last wednesday

and my head is still up in the clouds. I was there for the birth and took heaps

of photo's. He is just soooooo beautiful! He comes out of hospital today. His

name is Taibyn, I know, weird name but it will grow on us. Anyway take

care................Leanne

Hi and welcome to the group. You will find lots of support

and encouragement here. It's been a real blessing for me. You say

you're originally from Tennessee, where abouts? I have relatives on

both my parents side still living in Lenoir City, TN, just south of

Knoxville. I currently live in the interior of Alaska. My children

are grown but I do have a furchild (golden retriever), Lily. I too

have been yo, yoing for years. Congratulations on losing the 50

lbs. At least you don't have to start over from scratch! It's good

that you've gotten a hold of it now before you wound up back at your

original weight. You can do it. We are here to help you in any way

that we can. Hope to hear more from you.

Welcome to the group ! I am a little suprised a doctor put

you on a diet of 1200 cals. That is very low. Since you are

exercising you really should up the cals. One reason for yo yo

dieting is when you drop cals to low the body goes into starvation

mode and you start storing fat easily. There are alot of calorie

calculators out there. Basicly you want to figure out how many cals

your body needs for your weight and acticity level and reduce it by

500-1000. You might see slower results this way but in the long run

you won't see them pounds again!! Basic formula is 500 cal reduction

you would see on average 1 pound loss a week and with 1000 cal

reduction a 2 pound loss which is the max you should healthily loose

in a weeks time.

Welcome, Diane. If you read back posts you will find that you are

not alone. One good thing tho, is that you've caught yourself

before going completely over the edge and gaining it *all* back like

a lot of us have. Now is a good time to start again and get on

track. We are here to listen, encourage, and care, but of course

it's up to you how you take charge again. I look forward to hearing

more from you.

followed the food mover, because I found it easy. I exercised, my

motivation was good. About 6 months ago, things fell apart. I have

gained back 28lbs. I am miserable and I can't figure out what

happened. However I am determined not to give up. I am looking

forward to being a part of this group

so many road-blocks but I think you have made the right decision to join and get

yourself back on track. Hope to here from you real soon.

Welcome to the group, Diane. I certainly hope you don't give up & can

lose those 28 lbs. again (or more!). I don't think there's anything

more frustrating than to have that scale come creeping back up on you

again after all the hard work of getting those pounds off. My weight

now is at an all-time high (except when I was pregnant) and the last

10-15 lbs. have come just since I weaned my youngest in September.

Aaargh!

Anyway, I hope you can get the support you need and maybe give some back

to the group. Nice to have you aboard & I look forward to hearing of

your future weight loss success!
