It's better now, but every once in a while the instructor will throw something new into the mix and I'll feel clumsy all over again. :-) Brian I take a kick boxing class at our local mixed martial arts gym, and I felt horribly inept for the first 4 weeks or so.

I have lost a modest 14 lbs since Sept, and I am curious to read about how/why this happens. It seems like I would "never let myself regain" the weight I've worked so hard to lose, but I know it happens to people who've lost a lot more than me. i'm curious about how this occurs. Any one have any links? thx in advance.

I can say this cause I'm your height and have been at a variety of weights: at 5"9 and with a work-out program, 182 definitely turns the corner into the world of "sexy/lanky" from "normal-bodied." Like, being in the 180s/90s is more or less "acceptable," meaning, one won't feel like "the fat girl," and you can pretty much go anywhere in public and not have your weight define you / feel like an "issue." But in the low 180s/170s and down, with muscle mass, one begins reaching the territory of having a "enviable" body --the kind others wish they had. it can be nice. And just in time for summer. I hope you drop to 180 soon so we can see pics!! Goddamn, p-q, you are a dynamo!

Another milestone is one the way. But, please put the new numbers on your right hand column! It is still at 184. It's really hard to get those last few pounds off, isn't it? I find I really, really have to move - a lot - walking, working out, stretching. One thing that really helps me at this stage is my step counter. I had a bad one that quit working after a few weeks, but now I have a high end counter that just keeps going. It resets to 0 every midnight and keeps track of how many steps I have walked in the past 7 days. Since I am so competitive, I try to beat my steps every day. Not that I do all the time (I haven't reached my goal of walking 10,000 steps a day), but it is a constant reminder to keep moving. I'm averaging about 5500 steps - not bad, I guess, given that I have a sit-down job and small house. Plus working out, except for the treadmill, doesn't add those all-important steps. Anyway, I love it. Congratulations! Another milestone is one the way. But, please put the new numbers on your right hand column! It is still at 184.

No matter what needs to be done, someone is there at her side, ready to take the reins. She overdoes it, but it is a good lesson to be able to accept help – or instruction – when we need it. Whenever I take a yoga class the instructor ends up giving me a semi-private lesson. My mother-in-law is the Queen of Helplessness; we all need to take simpering lessons from her.

How are women supposed to be expected to do traditionaly masculine tasks if no-one shows us how. Next time, you will walk/drive up to the pump and you will know how to use it. As for to class, someone has to look like an epileptic ferret to make everyone else look good. Just like standing next to someone the size you used to be makes you feel thin.
