Connie
Connie is a young mom, whose weight has definitely impacted her life. She is ready to be healthy and energetic! Her story: “I have trouble doing activities with my two children. My 8 year old is a special needs child and I get very tired trying to keep up with her. My 10 year old is very aware of my size and is cautious about her weight. I do not look forward to weekends because my family wants to do something fun, and I find myself sitting out or not going.
I need to get healthy for my kids and for me. I want to be around to see them grow. Right now, I feel like I am on the outside of the world looking in.

well I dont want to post but I have to take the bad with the good. I gained 2.5lbs this week. There is a silverlining. First of all I did have a hard wednesday evening and picked on the girls macc-n-cheese. Carb overload. It has been 4 weeks since I had carbs so my body held on to it. The Dr. had said there are a few things I could do to help “regain” that controll. SOOO… I had also started jogging. If I had gained any muscle in my legs that could add to the gain.
And this is the good. I did lose body fat this week. Long sigh…..and so we continue. upset yes but the support that is at the office made it less devastating.
In the past I would have binged for weeks and felt as a failure and then the cycle would have started all over again.
This is diffrent and so I move on and continue with my team behind me (actually right now they are leading me) Till next week TTFN ; ))
Connie….. that is FABULOUS!!! I am so proud of you!!!! It is very motivating isn’t it to lose such significant amounts each week!!!! You will be at 199 sooner than you think!!!!! Keep it up…..
OMG, I have to celebrate you!!! I have tears in my eyes over the pride I have in you. I wish you would have told me about getting under at church on Sunday. I am so happy for you and for your family. Be sure to look in the closet at Dr. Lara’s office and get the next size and get RID of your baggy clothes. Also, don’t forget to look in the back of your closet often and try on the next sizes. There is nothing worse than trying on an outfit you have held on to because it was your favorite, only to realize you lost tooooo much weight and can’t EVER wear that favorite outfit again. Keep up the great job. Before you know it, you will be looking at 250 and then 199!! Love you friend.
Connie, Congratulations on your hugh loss. I weighed in today and am down 16.8 lbs. I was hoping for more too but I am happy with that. My clothes are already getting a little baggy and I am looking forward to changing sizes. I’m sure you have already gone down in size. Keep up the good work.
Connie, i just got under the 300 mark myself. feels so good, doesn’t it? it’s like a whole new set of numbers, and i like the 200’s MUCH better.
Thanks Debbie, for everything.
My progress this week is that I am down another 6 lbs. I was stoked. a total of 29.5 loss. now I’m 299. For someone who has been over 300 since my frist daughter (who’s 10) I feel that is such a “small” number. I know sounds crazy but ask anyone who has been that big what that would mean.
Also my shocker of the week. My 8 yr old has been packing a small salad in her lunch ALL week, as well has having some at dinner, AND wednesday she came and told me that she wants some broccoli for dinner. you could have knocked me down w/ a feather. All this from your basic picky eater, if it looks weird I’m not eating it. You know one day she loves the whole apple and the next day she’s gaging on the skin and wants you to peel it. I know it’s from waching me, and me being consistant w/ my eating and if mom eats it so much maybe I’ll try it.
I have to say I realy enjoy the girls in the St.pete office. They ask you about everything, (checking up on you) well I found out I was not taking something correctly. Not in a bad way just not enough of it. I bet if they had never asked and just gone through the motions of weigh in, check blood pressue and give your vitamin shot and be one your way I would have continued to take the calcium wrong and not get the TOTAL benefit from it. Thanks guys. For everything.
I am just so excited to read about your progress. If you drink your water and stay on the plan, you will drop so much, so fast, you will be amazed. Just today a co-worker (who I begged to apply for this round, and didn’t) asked me what size I was now. I proudly stated that I am now a size 10!!! I have never been a size 10. I look at the waste of the pants and think I couldn’t possibly fit into that, but then I do. You will get there some day too and it will be the happiest day of your life. Talk about Self Worth. With every pound you loose, you gain more confidence. You go girl. Keep up the good work.
O.K my 3rd week down 3 lbs. I cant say that I wasnt disapointed because I was expecting more, but thats o.k. I was still at a loss. I will be happy with that and continue to stay on course. also, I am down 2% body fat. Thats a good drop. I had gotten a comment today that my face was looking thinner. I LIKE THAT.
It has been 2 weeks and I am down 20.5lbs. I was in tears my first week, because I had lost 15lbs. I couldnt belive it. I havent had any cravings, urges or uncontrolled eating binges. I have had my first visit w/ Debbie Lane. It was incredible. I feel Dr .Lara is right on with having her on his team. He helps with the body and she works with the mind. After all the years of diet excersise, and failures it does take a toll on your self worth and emotions.
Hey my friend. I am so excited for you. You can always call me if you have any questions or if you should need some support. I am so excited to follow your progress. I am sure you will do so well. You will be amazed at how quickly you will feel the difference in what you are able to do and how you feel. I am so proud of you.
