Don't BLAME your POUCH

Wow, I feel like ya'll speaking to me today!!!  Thank you so much for the reminder....

Yeah I feel you Dee, but there are some people who have some problems.  I unfortunately am one of them.   Yeah I eat junk every Sunday, but on the other days of the week I eat really well and I workout like a freaking crazy person 6 days a week, and I can't lose a darn pound.  

As a last ditch effort,  I just did a almost 2 month stent on Nutri System which averages 1200 - 1500 calories a day and I still didn't lose a pound. 

But your right most people know dam well they are not working their pouch and their pouch therefore isn't working.  But there are exceptions.

I understand the exceptions,  hence, my water weight is due to an illness...that is an exception. I have always allowed myself a "free" day...that is a day to eat whatever I want to eat...that way I don't feel deprived.

Lee, I actually think you look GREAT ~but I iunderstand~....I know you don't need me telling you that everybody will not be a size 6! Have yout consulted with a doc to ensure you don't have thyroid issues?

If so,  have they just tested your metabolism? How much weight are you trying to lose?

Maybe you should work with a dietician and physical trainer.

Yeah I had my thyroid checked twice last month,  they checked my hormones.  They don't know what the hell my problem is.  LOL.   Cause I should be losing weight.

I need to lose 40 pounds, If I could lose 1 I would be happy at this point.   I know I could never be a size 6,  I have to much muscle on my body for that but I do need to get the weight I gained off but I don't even know if it is possible.

If I don't run and workout like a fool my body starts to gain, that is the only reason I workout so much.   I have the whole edema issue also where one day I can fit a size 14 jeans the next dam a 18 is freaking tight.  It sucks

Hey Dedee....good seeing yah...and believe u me I so understand what ur talking bout.  I don't know if you remember, but my demon became the liquor...yeah...I know now that it was causing me to gain the weight back....I had to re-evaluate what I was doing...become accountable for my actions.  I went to the doc's last month for my yearly check up and found out that the drinking was doing me in....all my test were fine except for the blood pressure which was due to the drinking....scared the hell out of me...doc wanted to put me back on meds...but I've cut out the drinking since and low and behold have dropped 10 lbs....down to 160 which tell me the pouch is doing what it suppose to....I just wasn't.......I'm getting it together and looking forward to how far I can take this....I so miss my BAF family...I so need the inspiration from each and everyone of you....it's priceless!!!

Much luv....specialmsv
