Getting the job done no matter what and getting back on board when we struggle. I struggled to during this challenge and was so pleased to have people help get me back on track too.

Thanks again ladies.

re: Loose Skin Sucks...So How Do You Fix It?

I was just questioning the Jelly Belly thing the other day! I've only lost about 1/3 of what I need to lose and already I'm seeing my stomach jiggle more and the skin seems a lot looser. I'm just worried that by the time I lose another 100 pounds, it will REALLY be bad.

I'll try these and see how it goes. If nothing else, I'll have a really tan tummy! :)

re: Loose Skin Sucks...So How Do You Fix It?

re: Loose Skin Sucks...So How Do You Fix It?

Amy C — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 17:02:05 GMT

You always seem to cover the stuff that's at the forefront of my mind!! This is an issue I've been trying to mentally work on, cause I know that the years of damage are my own fault. And sometimes it can get to me that no matter how hard I work, some of this stuff (saggy skin, stretch marks) will never go away. But, i also know that I am WAY happier with who I am becoming, than I was when i was stuffing my face and laying on the couch!! Stretch marks and saggy skin aren't going to hold me back!

re: Loose Skin Sucks...So How Do You Fix It?

CaraElaine — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 16:46:30 GMT

Great tips! The loose skin is starting to be an issue for me too, so I can't wait to try a few of these. I love that Jergens lotion, but I always forget to put it on!

re: Loose Skin Sucks...So How Do You Fix It?

re: Loose Skin Sucks...So How Do You Fix It?

Kathleen — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:46:10 GMT

I love the Jergens stuff. I use this too. I think it works good. I feel my skin is tighter. I'm trying this exfoiliating scrub tonight. I like the fact that I can use it on my face. I have very oily skin and have breakouts frequently.

re: Powerwalking by Becca

Jill — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:58:04 GMT

I have started doing the same thing... I used to just power walk and then 'stand around' while the dogs sniffed and sniffed. But then the post a few weeks back by Trish about getting in a GOOD workout... well I now pop squat and side shuffle like nobody's business. I have 2 dogs... 1 is older and really likes to sniff the other is simply CRAZY... she side shuffles WITH ME... I can get about 10 side shuffles in on each side (length of the leash) I do that about 4 times and a few pop squats and puppers is ready to walk again. The other day I was doing this and a lady on a bike came by. Mind you she was for sure taking a LEISURE bike ride... she looked at me and said "WHOA" I think like (you are CRAZY) I nodded my head and said 'yep'. The last 2 weekends we have done this and I feel so GOOD being outside getting in good exercise spending time with the 'fur babies' I just LOVE it. P.S. my CRAZY dog even wears a weighted back pack... she is a bundle of ENERGY!!!

re: Powerwalking by Becca

Buckeye — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:38:48 GMT

It sure makes the time go faster! I do a dog walk without my dog (otherwise I think both of us would be tangled in the leash). This morning as I was pop squatting and a runner I knew went by, I invited him to join in-I figured if I acknowledged what I was doing, it wouldn't seem so "weird"! I had a great calorie burn and am done with cardio! I am looking forward to getting more creative as time goes on!

re: Powerwalking by Becca

Candace — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:53:35 GMT

I am going to have to try that. I've been asked by hubby not to take Baloo the 6.8km's again until she's more conditioned, but a shorter walk with more of this stuff sounds good. I did take a look at the videos yesterday, but really don't have speakers at work and really want to hear 'The Queen' and put a voice to that pretty face.

re: Peanut Butter Pits

Candace — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 17:08:55 GMT

"It's the habit that must be broken and not the deed." I actually blogged about this today in a fashion - BLTing on your own food for the day - it's still a BLT because it's the act. Corinne, you actually bring these things to the surface for us becuase everyone else will tell us it's OK. It's not - you're doing amazing so don't go buy another bottle of that stuff.

re: Peanut Butter Pits

billclary — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:11:28 GMT

Woman. Don't make me tell you to put your big girl panties on. I'm eating brocolli twice a day and have been for about 5 weeks now. I have been dipping a tad in the peanut jar the last few days. Granted I'm more in the teaspoon range than 6 tablespoons, but I feel your pain. It's hard to make yourself do cardio when you're hungry.

You're going to have to get some sugar-free gum and just chew the living fire out of it. I chew at least 5 pieces every day. I don't eat while I'm chewing it.

re: Peanut Butter Pits

Les — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 12:32:05 GMT

Wow.

I LOVE how you bring things on the human level to us, Corinne. You could sit on top of your pedastal (LOL) and advise your followers to do this, and do that to improve our eating and fitness and never, ever show a lick of weakness to us. But you do. And it means the world to me that you can admit that you struggle just like everyone else. It just reminds us all that, like Mona said, this is for life--that damn FG never really goes away completely.

Mona — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 12:19:11 GMT

Corinne, this struck a nerve with me! Following your menus I have started to see a difference, but yesterday I wanted pb so bad and the tablespoon at breakfast wasn't doin' it! I stayed strong and did not give in...I kept hearing you say "how bad do you want this?" Thanks again for always being transparent! It helps us "little ones" know the battle we are up against....for life!

re: Sometimes Black Isn't Slimming by Trish

Trish — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:40:00 GMT

Good point Jen and there certainly isn't anything wrong with looking for slimming clothes. I did it myself. My issue was more with people who would rather rely on that then on exercise and eating right.

re: Sometimes Black Isn't Slimming by Trish

jen611 — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:29:04 GMT

I don't disagree with your basic point but there is a certain wisdom in finding clothes that compliment and make you feel good at any size. I know this might not be what the ladies were doing but at my heaviest I made myself go out and buy clothes that were slimming and looked good and it made me feel great, which helped with motivation to take care of myself. No one in our society wants to admit it but you can look great at any size and you can also be healthy even if you are heavier.

re: Our Ironwoman, Spotlight and Lots of Positive Results!

Kathleen — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:18:35 GMT

Great job Jane. I toyed with the idea last year about competing in a Sprint tri. Of course, Ms. Corrine was nudging me in that direction but was a bit worried. However, seeing your success and Jill's as really made me want to give this a try and did you ever BLAST that time out of the water or what!

Happy Birthday to all my little fellow Phatties too and Trish you rock, you are doing fantastic girl.

re: Sometimes Black Isn't Slimming by Trish

Candace — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:31:32 GMT

HA! My favourite bathing suite was black for the past couple of years. I never believed it to be 'slimming', but it definately helped me feel invisible. I still haven't picked out my suite this year, but maybe some colours ARE in order.

Thanks Corinne. I know I have been MIA lately for the most part. I'm doing kick-ass with the menu this week, though. Getting really sick of chicken, though.

And you're right - the journey begins with the next...workout for me. Skipped it last night. Someone please give me a hard time if I don't report a kick-ass workout from tonight in my journal. There - that's my yelp. Gotta go print a schedule and make my way to weigh-in now.

okay, I just read this again and it brought tears to my eyes. I DO have motivation, I already have what it takes for this journey. I'm just lacking the correct planning. Thanks Corinne, I really needed this today. 3 days of indulgences does not a fattie make. I'm back on the phat track!

yikes, I needed this. thanks.

re: I Can Barely See the PNP Wagon!

Buckeye — Tue, 27 May 2008 20:39:56 GMT

Corinne, I remember having some of these exact same thoughts. A few months back, I caught myself thinking I couldn't wait for...and then I stopped myself. Can't wait for what? To lose 10 pounds? To wear a smaller size? Well, whatever it was I "couldn't wait for" wasn't going to come along. I realized that I would have to continue setting new goals for myself. Once they are reached, time to put forth a new set of goals. Taking care of myself, healthy eating and kick butt workouts are not going to end-this is my life!

I have also learned to be kinder to myself. Funny thing is, we're much nicer to others then we are to ourselves. If we can just forgive ourselves a slip or overindulgence instead of letting it snowball, we would reach those above goals much more quickly. So on top of continuing my lifestyle, I am going to treat myself like a good friend!

re: I Can Barely See the PNP Wagon!

Lorie — Tue, 27 May 2008 19:56:31 GMT

I must admit it's a very sobering moment to realize that this is a LIFESTYLE and not just a diet/exercise plan for a specific goal (event, size, etc) then after the goal is met, you still gotta keep on keeping on.

I think that is such an important thing to remember. I have remind myself of that quite often when tossing around the idea of a donut or my oatmeal w/ protein powder & blueberries, or a grilled chicken sandwich or a hamburger and french fries for lunch.

re: I Can Barely See the PNP Wagon!

Kathleen — Tue, 27 May 2008 19:33:40 GMT

Thank you so much. I know that I was at least part of this blog and it felt great to see the wagon just a rushing back to pick me up. I could hear my voice was crying but just not loud enough for those to help to hear me!

It is so true, one bad meal doesn't give excuse to a bad weekend, which is just what I had.

I'm back on track now with two walks of one mile each in the warehouse under my belt. I have my trusting menu sitting here on my desk and I've completed four of my eight meals.

I have my weight schedule printed and in the car and my cardio routines ready to go. I have a good mind set and plan on coming back tomorrow and posting that I've cried for help and with the help of others I'm back on track. This truly is a Life's Long Journey.

Love the 'losing the saggy butt' comment. About 15 lbs ago hubby made a comment about how my butt was 'nicer' than before I put on weight. Well, somewhere between then and now I lost my voluptuous butt and ended up with a smaller, but saggy one. Next step - be like Jen and tone the butt up. Small and tight - I'll take that over voluptuous too.

re: Don't Look Now But Summer's Here!

Isn't it awesome to not dread putting on that swimsuit. I cannot tell you how many times I would AVOID swimming or going canoeing or to the lake just so I would not have to put on a swimsuit. I know everyone here can relate. BUT NOT ANYMORE!! I can't sport a 2 piece but I don't look too shabby in a one piece considering I was over 200 pounds at one point and I have had 2 kiddos. BRING ON SUMMER!

re: Don't Look Now But Summer's Here!

Lorie — Wed, 21 May 2008 13:37:17 GMT

Great Blog Trish!! It's funny to me to actually look 'forward' to summer. Summer for me now means swimsuits, and sleeveless shirts. I used to look forward to winter, which we all know means layers and layers of clothes.

Thanks PnP!!!!

Suddenly slim — Mon, 19 May 2008 02:38:44 GMT

It had been clear to me for many years that the calorie explanation for obesity (eating too many calories and not taking much exercise– i. e. greed plus laziness) must be wrong because many– probably most– people can eat as much as they like and not become

Hey Becca! So funny you should write this today.. This week, I've been wondering how long I'd have to exercise, choose the right foods, etc. Then, we decided to take a day trip on Saturday to see my MIL for Mother's Day and what was the first thing that ran through my mind? "Gotta be sure to pack some healthy snacks in the cooler." I've got control of what I eat AND my habits are starting to "stick!"

Great blog sister!

Becca, I went to a WW meeting last night and the leader was a 71 yo man who, 10 years ago had a heart attack. He argued with docs that he shouldn't be there because he'd been WW lifetime for 10 yrs and was healthy. They told him that if he hadn't done all those nice things for himself that he would have been in the morgue instead of recovery. We talk about 'bucking up' and 'get r done' and 'adding years to our lives'. We do have control and you're as much as an example to me as that man last night. You're doing such good things for yourself and your future.

We all have decisions to make everyday as to what we put in our mouth and if we move our body, I know you are proud of the decisions you made.

I don't lift like you, but I never drop down to the 10s during a set without thinking about how I was struggling to move up to them in January. I am amazed at how my wobbly arms have gotten firmer and just know that anything is possible.

I can't tell you how many people have asked me what type of supplements I take. (and by supplements, I mean they are asking about diet pills, the people get a real board look on their face when I tell them about taking my daily multivitamin, lol).

I just want to say that we don't gain this weight over-night and unfortunately it's not doing to dissolve over night.

You are very insightful:)

Maybe you can make a neat ribbon for her or give her one of your medals for being a finisher. In fact, I would be happy to give her my LV medal that says Finisher on it if you want, she is fantastic in my eyes and I'm really proud of her.

Another thought for those working moms or single people even. If you need help fitting in time cause you are so busy after work or before work for your workout, try running errands on your lunch break since many of us get an hour lunch break. You can get a lot of stuff done in an hour a couple time a week. :)

Thanks for this post Corinne! I just love it!

re: Why Do We Want This Crazy Lifestyle?

Dawn — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 00:52:18 GMT

Prior to PNP I was pregnant and for a year I did not do any formal exercise besides taking a walk here and there. 8 months prior to that is when I started running and I would run 2-3 days a week and I worked my way up to a 5K and did two of those. So running is pretty new to me I would say. After I did the 5K I thought, hmm maybe I should try a 10K then after I did that I thought maybe I could do a half marathon and now I have done two and I have my sights set on a full marathon at some point in my future. That time is just not determined at this time but I WILL DO IT!

Everyone did so great at the CMM. Jess did a personal best as well as Bill I think and Trish completed her first half and then Kate accomplished her 3rd in a matter of about 6-8 weeks. It is great to cross that finish line for yourself but when you see others that you know do it too and you know how thrilling it is. You are just that more pleased for them and what they have accomplished. Great job on setting your mind to something and accomplishing it. There is truly no greater feeling than that.

My positive thoughts go out to you, tenfold! My son has growth issues. With the help of daily HGH injections and Synthroid he does grow. But when he was 3 I had to go to the nutritionist to learn how to ADD calories for him. 5 years later, I still have to make mac/cheese w/ whole milk fortified w/ powdered milk, whole milk cheese, etc. It is a very hard place to be sometimes when you are in the kitchen just dying to take a bite! Then you get grumpy because you shouldn't. You have the resolve you need. Sorry to be so long winded! I will keep you and Logan in my prayers.

When you join WW you work towards a weight goal. After you reach that goal you complete a six week schedule of maintenaince. During this time you are adding in a few extra points/calories of food and are learning to keep your weight within two pounds of that original goal. When you do this you become a WW liftime member and do not have to pay for meetings as long as you weigh once per month and stay within that 2 lbs range.

It is a huge deal, it takes time to reach it and then to learn to MT the weight.

re: Planning Is A Great Way to Weightloss

CaraElaine — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 04:45:23 GMT

For the veggies and fruits to prep, puree and freeze: I'm doing this for my son now as he's starting solids, and I use www.wholesomebabyfood.com as a reference for recipes and guidelines for freezing. I realize it's a baby food site, but there is lots of good info. For storage in the freezer, either use ice cube trays or ziptop bags. The great thing about ziptop bags for the freezer is that you can smush all the food in the bag so that the bag lies flat, and it won't take so long to defrost. I do that with ground beef too when I buy it in bulk on sale.
