Heyyyyyyyy I'm here.. I'm here!!!!!!
Hey Kids!
Guess I have a lot of reading to do to catch up on everyone's do!
I've been a lazy ass for 4 weeks.. going to the gym sporadically.. that's about it. I haven't even tanned in a few days... don't feel much like getting out of bed lately.
HEY.. guess what I FOUND OUT! IT DOES SNOW IN SOUTH CAROLINA! OMG! I'll try to post the pictures.. now don't laugh at the puny amount.. ok.. it's all I've seen in the 2.5 years I've been here.
Weight loss.. weight loss.. well.. my fat booty isn't getting anywhere.. Today I'm at 218.6. I've tried.. and I've tried.. and I've tried.. then went back to the old unhealthy swallowing bottles of magnesium citrate and crap like that.. nothing works.
I'm guessing I've reached a point of homeostasis. I'm reading whatever I can.. but I can't find answers. There's gotta be a way to break through this..
Gee..even though I'm at almost 220, my social life has improved... I went to the club a couple of weeks ago and lo and behold... I had a CHOICE WOOHOO! Danced with all of 'em.... but I've been seeing someone since the middle of December.. and I'm a one at a time kinda person.. LOL
I've been thinking about all of you .. I have. Don't know where I'd be without yaz.. well.. prolly pine box by now instead of being able to walk and breathe and bend and also enjoying the company of a fine looking man here and there.
I went to Florida to see my daughter in December.. it was like in the movies. I was pacing outside the door of my hotel room waiting for her. When I saw her round the corner from the elevators, I went running... um R U N N I N G! <-- running. Her mouth fell open.. she said "omg.. ma.. ma.. you look..good.. I mean.. REALLY good". HA.. she hasn't seen me move like that in years.. but then again, I could have probably had my 100 pounds on my arse and as much as I've missed her, ran down that hall just the same.
HOMEOSTASIS anyone.. everyone... info needed, desired, required. I've been like this since what.. March/april.. except now I don't even go all the way down to 205.. I just hover between 215and 225. This is frustrating to say the least.
Thank you for those PM'S by the way - I never feel like I belong anywhere or anyone would notice if I was here or there or not.. so it warms my heart to know that I was actually MISSED! OMG! LOL
Love youz guys!
Lori

Yayyyyy you are back and well!!!! Sounds like other than your weight issue you have been doing really well! A guy? A social life? Wow, this isn't the Lori I remember at all! You are doing so well girl! That right there is a humongous step, one I am so glad to see!
I remember being two twenty for even my height (5'2"), that it was so much better than the weight I'm at now. Sounds like you are finally enjoying life!!!
I'm sorry, but I know diddly squat about homeostasis.
Glad to see you back!

Hey Lori:
We've missed you and we're glad you're back! It sounds like things are going well for you. OK, give us the scoop on your new man. Sounds like you had a wonderful visit with your daughter.
Regarding homeostasis, my body seems to want to stay at a particular weight unless I get really sick and then and only then, I'm able to get below that homeostatic weight. Remains to be seen if I can stay here although I do miss my curves.

A 220 average is simply not acceptable. My goal was a lousy 180.. ya think I coulda done that in a walk , yanno?
Um.. I wouldn't wi**** on anyone to have to break through the way you have.. but it happened.. and you're there - I just wi**** didn't have to happen the way it did.
I'm praying for you girlie!
Lori
Oh .. new man.. um very nice guy.. it's not much of a relationship, but it works for me. He's a lot like me - doesn't really like to go out - he's a homebody. Most men bring flowers.. but again.. he brought me a tree.. LOL I can appreciate his practical side - and keeps my wood pile stocked! Whatever - He's good looking, kind and easy going.. so that works for now.

Hi Lor!!!! Thanks for stopping in. I am so happy that you have some fun in your life.
I think many of us are at that ole home-o place! F*ck, I have to KILL myself for a lousy 185. I get very disgusted, but most days it is what it is. It's called My Body. And truth is, I do not want to do what it seems I would have to do to be less than that. That's called Starve and Burn.
Loves you always.

Just got back from a trip to Florida myself and catching up on posts.....glad to see you back!!
A new man since December....no wonder the lady's been missing around here.....good for you! Hope he treats you right and knows how blessed he is to be sharing time with you. Homebody's are just fine....and this one comes totin trees no less.
Glad you're not stressin too much over staying in the same range....maybe it will be like those folks who adopt a baby and then relax and get pregnant on their own. You might just be lovin life with your new guy and not worrying all the time about the scale and wake up one day in onderland!!
