Slimfast diet success

Being ridiculous? In just asking various questions to gain insight and
opinions?

Annie, I am listening to advise. But some people are not posting advise,
just remarks. That is not helpful any way you cut it.

By the way, what EXACTLY are you having problems with? I've lost
nearly 60 pounds since last year, and kept it off, and show no signs
of going back.

What are your weaknesses, in terms of food?
What kinds of things do you like to eat?
Do you like to cook?

What issues are you confused about?

I might be able to help.

I've often considered it. I have jiggly deflated belly that is left
over from three pregnancies. Other people seem to shrink, I just
deflate. My skin DOES hang like an apron, but worse than that, it
bounces around when I run and sometimes hurts my lower back. My lower
belly needs a bra far worse than my chest does!


Couldn't you wear compression shorts of some kind? That sounds painful.

I usually do, or wear underwear that fits in such a way to smoosh it
right in the middle which sort of pins it down. But some outfits just
don't work that way. My triathlon outfits, for example, allow me to
swim and bike in the same outfit but it's not great for running for this
reason.

The other problem is when I'm going to be out in public: I hate to be
wimpy and not jog just because I'm not wearing compression shorts, and
the sight of me in compression shorts doens't mix well for being out in
public.

Well, shoot. That sucks.

But it's still better than being fat.

Angie, I was speaking in more general terms. Wouldn't you agree it's
difficult to be ridiculed when you're being ridiculous?

As for your specifics, the problem is that you are mostly asking about
short cuts. I don't blame you: I wish short cuts existed. But you're
showing all the signs of not facing the reality that you're going to
have to change if you want to change. Not a little bit, but a LOT.

We can help you with this process, this changing, so that you can handle
the obstacles you'll face one by one.

What we can't help you with is finding a method where you don't have to
change.

I provided this link in an earlier post; here it is again:

It's an outstanding site--make it part of you.


I'm not sure
if my bad knees can take it, but I'm willing to listen to your suggestions.


An intense weight workout in circuit fashion only takes 20-30 minutes,
and not every exercise involves the legs. Contrast that to hours of
non-stop aerobic work in which every form involves the legs. Which is
really more damaging?

Make an effort to learn the basics of weight training. That knowledge
will be like money in the bank for the rest of your active life. Train
hard
not long.

By the way, he's absolutely right. I don't know this guy, but he knows
what he's talking about.

I was just trying to look on the bright side, really. I can't imagine
that the surgery's an inexpensive thing.

It's not. I've looked into it. I've decided against it because I watch too
many of those shows on Discovery Health and such that show plastic surgery
gone bad. I don't want to have anyone go near my abdomen unless absolutely
necessary - which in my case it might be at some point because of too much
loose skin combined with scar tissue from a prior surgery causing some
problems. I wouldn't think twice about having my arms done though.
