Hello. I got your request via email. I’m just not sure how we know one another?

I appreciate this comment comes many many months after the post but just wanted to say “yay” for you working to lose weight and I wish you all the best. I’m morbidly obese myself at 250lb so I how much hard work it takes to shift those pounds. However I really hope that you do succeed, because after all the hours you’ve spent on the fan communities (that I admittedly love) I think you deserve a body that you are happy with.

Hey,
You probably already know this, but I wanted to double check because it’s a great tool that people I know have used and has worked tremendously… a pedometer is a great way to keep track of your exercise and is a fabulous motivator. You can wear it all day or just on your walks. You can set a goal for yourself, such as walking 6,000 steps a day, and then increasing it as time passes. There are many websites online that also offer equivalents to steps. For example, if you lift weights or do crunches you can convert that exercise into steps. Wearing a pedometer, I think, can give you a great sense of accomplishment and keep you on track with your weight loss:) As someone who has tried many different kinds, I personally would recommend an Omron. Good luck:)

It does my heart good to read that you’ve got so much good going on and that you’re happy.

Are you moving out of the house, to another neighborhood, called The Drive?

Comment on What does "beating the odds" mean? by Donutte (Aldona)

I guess for me, beating the odds happened when I started at my current job. I left a crappy and low paying (yet stable and close to home) job for a bit higher paying temp-to-perm position over an hour away, with even crappier hours than I had at my previous job. Went from working 3pm-11pm, to 4:30am to 1pm. EVERYONE – my mom included – didn’t think I’d make it at that job. Even I was intimidated by the “temp” part. But I had to do it. I had to take that next step and get out of that crappy job I was at. Here I am, almost four years later, still at the same company – now a team lead – and a MUCH better person for it. So, to me, that was beating the odds.

It’s good that you remember the good things that come out of yucky situations. It can be really, really hard sometimes (I’m still kinda having to do that now, with something else in my life though). And yes, it’s hard to “take the leap” so to speak and chance not beating the odds, but it can be so rewarding (even if you don’t beat them). You still learn along the way – mostly about yourself. That is sooo invaluable too. In the end, you’re a stronger person for it

I wish both you and your loved ones (past, present and future) the best of luck when they try beating the odds

I can really relate. At my heaviest, I was over 300 pounds (I stopped counting at 300). My health was in horrible shape, was morbidly hypertensive (my doctor said at one point I was a stroke waiting to happen). Then the biggest miracle seemed to happen – I started losing weight! I attribute it to stopping the Risperdal I’d been on for five or so years, but it didn’t matter to me I got down to about 160 and I’m on the rise again, but have managed to put a halt to that. I’m so paranoid about getting heavy again I’ve become obsessed with my weight as of late.

See, I tend to read labels obsessively as well. I look more for what the food *has* more than what it *does not* have. I look to see if there are vitamins, iron, potassium, things like that. Having passed out from a potassium deficiency will do that to a person, lol. I also check sodium, because I’m still pre-hypertensive, but don’t want to end up on medicine for that again. I am not so much obsessed with calories and fat, as I am with getting enough of everything I need. After all, we still need calories and fat to live. I’m really bad when it comes to exercising though. Just no time it seems! And I’m too tired.

I wish you a lot of luck in your endeavor. And I’m thrilled to find someone else that says “pop”

I lean as far forward as I can and then drink a glass of water upside down…. Works every time.
