Hey VP, It sounds like you are in a helpless place of trying to please everyone. You might need to tell everyone that you need some space to just take care of yourself mentally and physically for a while. That is code for telling everyone to screw off!! It will be hard, but much needed. I am in a similar funk and it's a bitch!!! (of course, i am not at your level of fitness beginning the funk) I'm sure there is a reason you are still seeing your ex? He will have to just suck it up and have a little compassion and give you a break! Anyway, do what you need to do to make yourself happy. I am out of the loop in regards to beforewisdom's comments, so I am just going to not address that. ha,ha. take care of yourself. chalisa (i've still been watching, but not contributing to VBB) -

Hi Pink! I might have missed this, but how much water do you drink? That really helps to flush out toxins, excessive salt, etc. Also, if you look at how bodybuilders/figure comp. eat, they space out their meals--5-6 smaller meals throughout the day. This gives you a steady energy supply without the insulin spikes. Large meals eaten at one time, from what I've researched, cause you to release a lot of insulin which can cause you to store excessive fat. I do have to say that everyone is different in body chemistry so it might be trial and error for a while. Just some other things to try if you need to. One more thing I have experienced with myself, since I have not been weight training consistently for the past few months(maybe 1time/wk), my weight has not changed that much, but i am more flabbily (as i call it), so i know my body composition has changed. i concur with everyone else, in that, weight training should help tighten things up more. (i am speaking to myself at the same time) :0) You are very motivating and inspiring. You should be so proud of yourself for losing that amount of weight! It is really a struggle and not as easy as the magazines/media make it seem. Keep up the awesome work! i hope my tidbits don't come off as being rude or pushy. I am struggling with weight loss issues, so I can relate in some sense.

OK Potter, you are right. Now I feel guilty for the observation! Maybe he will start a new trend.

People watching is very fun. One time this guy had his headphones cranked and couldn't take his eyes off himself. He was totally pumping himself up (which is not a bad thing). Until.........he was doing bicep curls and actually KISSED HIS OWN BICEPS! I almost died laughing. I thought that only happened in the movies. His biceps didn't really warrant kissing, but whatever gets you motivated, I guess.(within reason)
