I keep getting dress to workout and always find something else to do around the house. Cook, clean, wash clothes, sleep, etc. I really need to get on the ball!!! I need some encouraging needs. My husband has joined the battle with me and that really has helped me. I am trying the diet by Dr. Ian Smith. It is hard to detox. You can’t eat meat for 10 days and you must eat mega fruit. I can’t keep my kids off the fruit and while I am not a big meat eater, I do like to eat some meat at dinner. So I have been comprising…I eat meat at dinner. I am not going to say that I haven’t cheated, but I started off good. The first two days I did go without eating any meats. It was the hardest two days. LOL! Well, if you have any words that can keep me going, feel free to help me. Thank you in advance for your words.

I know a lot of the older members probably remember me. I back slide. I moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Then the holidays did me in too! I went from 240lbs to 266lbs. WOW! I want to lose this weight so bad! I went to a weight doctor whose practice is mainly weight lose. He has been helping patients for over 41 years. I have lost 8lbs in the last 2 weeks with no exercise. Imagine when I start back on my treadmill. I haven’t been eating carbs, so that’s a big part of it too. I have changed my eating habits, BIG TIME!!! It has been hard, but I have been doing. Sometimes my husband brings snacks that he knows I like. I think he is seeing if I am serious about it this time. I gave in one time. So now that I am back, I will need all of your support to keep me strong. Everytime I feel like snaking I am going to start logging into BuddySlim. I am going to lose this weight this time. I even brought a digital scale instead of the old line scale. Wish me many blessing PLEASE!!! I really need your help! ALL OF YOU!!! Thank you in advance for your prayers!!! Charisma

This is an accomplishment for me. Wow! I can’t believe I did it. I haven’t lost weight in years. I am so excited I can’t believe I lost 5 lbs in two weeks time. If I keep this up I will lose this weight in no time. I will keep working out that’s for sure. My son has been supporting me by asking me am I going to work out today or come on Momma, stop what your doing and exercise. He’s the greatest kid ever! Thanks to all of my BuddySlim Buddies, I am doing it. Thank you for all of your support!!!

Today I did 3.o66 miles. Yeah me!!! I am slowly building it up. I burned 302.4 calories and 38.4 carbs. Man, when your doing that workout it feels like you are just going to melt that fat away, but then the machine says 300 calories. LOL It’s worth it I know because that is 300 calories that would have sat on my rear end. LOL I also lifted weights. I think I will do taebo or some aerobics tomorrow and a little walking. I really want to challenge myself. I will let you all know when I actually make the challenge. It will be sooner then later. Happy Workouts to you all!! Charisma

I worked out the 9th ( 1 mile@ 3mph), 10th (2 miles @ 3mph-3.5mph), 11th (2 miles @ 3mph). I feel good about myself. I just pray that I can keep it up. I feel very energize because of all of your comments and encouraging notes. Thank you all for the boost. I will continue to let you all know how I am doing. I burned a total of 512.90 calories. Hey that’s calories I am not use to burning. The only burning I was doing was fussing at the kids. Now I do that while I am on the traidmill. LOL Thanks again! Charisma PS I will weight in every Monday.

I did not workout yesterday! I feel shame. I have non-workout’s guilt. I really want to do this. That is why I’m glad that I have found this site. It holds me accoutable. I will write tomorrow and let you all know if I worked out tonight and what I did and how much I burned. I blog again soon. Peace!

I worked out for the first time since starting this journey.I walked for 2.014 miles, time 41:36, burned 195.3 calories and 24.4 carbs. YEAH ME!!! I am very proud of myself. I want to workout some more today. I think I will walk again and do a little Taebo. LOL Maybe I am getting ahead of myself, but i will let you know what Idid tomorrow. :o) I am soooo very happy that I found this website. I have already met some really nice people/buddies already. i hope to be able to call them friends shortly. I need all the help I can get during this journey. As I have done this before, but I was a lot younger and I was doing it for the mean purpose of goig into the service. So my recruiter was my support system. I also knew I had a son to take care of and this was going to be my career. I needed to do it for him! I now need to do it for myself. I am a selfless person. So I tend to put everybody and everything ahead of my workouts. NOT anymore. I think I am going to have to start being a little selfish. I don’t think this is wrong. I have taken care of my family and friends for so long. It’s time for Charisma. I have health issues now because of my weight. Thank you to all who have come by my page just to show some encouragement. It is greatly appreciated!!!! By the way… I absolutely love Hello Kitty. I wish I could find that picture that I have with her when I was at my smallest ever! You’ll see a lot of her on my page. :o)

Today is my first time entering into my blog. I just got finish taking my before picture. I have to do this again for me this time. I have to get healthy. I did a realage test today and instead of my age being 35 years or less it was 37.6. That is not acceptable. The first time I lost all that weight was because I was going into the military. It was hard that time, but once I got into th swing of exercising…it became FUN! I mean I really enjoyed it. I did things that I enjoyed doing. I did things like skating, hiking, biking, and stepping on the stepping box was really big at that time. I believe that with all these tools on this website I can do it. I will be embrassed if I don’t. This website holds me accountable which is a good thing. Please anyone that has the same goals as me, or just wants to be support buddies…please hit my page up. Thanks and God Bless!!!
