« HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA | Main | But just to clarify... »

Thank you to everyone who is concerned about me taking Trimspa. I think it's a bit premature to be too concerned though. I only got a little package of them, and you take several a day, so it's probably only a week or 2 week supply. The likelihood that I'll continue with them is small as I hate pills of any kind, really don't need the extra caffeine, and I'll be off on a cruise in 26 days. I'll be bored with these pills in a week, I'm sure.

No, my body type is not changing in any way but rounder. I rarely get on the scale unless I remember at the gym, but random checks there show a rising number, and so do the tags on my always new clothes.

I keep moving. I am at the gym at least three days a week, usually five. I push myself hard when I am there. I feel it working, it just doesn't seem to be burning calories.

In four years I have gained now sixty pounds. In four years. I am 90 pounds heavier than when I got married (though I was pretty thin then and have no intention of ever being THAT thin again). My weight training class last semester seemed to slow the gain to a crawl, but I still gained.

I'm going to try the Trimspa no matter what. I'm going to try it. I am not sure what else to do, but you can be sure a doctor visit is in the future if the gain doesn't stop.

It really does seem like my metabolism has stopped. Because even if I don't eat a minimum of calories now, I don't over eat and I am probably exercising more than any of you. I am forty years old - too old to go on a 800 calorie diet and do 3 hour gym days 7 days a week JUST TO KEEP MY WEIGHT STEADY, ya know? I'm starting to feel like: What if I work extra EXTRA hard to get this weight off, and then my body won't keep it off??

That's worrisome.

And I don't have an answer for that yet. But I'm not giving up.

So I'm going to take the damn Trimspa pills for a couple weeks, or even up until the cruise, then we'll see what happens. The ship has a gym there and a running track, so I am excited to to keep on exercising there, we have Plenty-O-Activities planned while we're in port, and not even a cruise is going to turn me into a big eater because I'm just not.

In the meantime, ya'll don't worry so much about me. You know I have sense. I may not use it when it comes to boys (thank God Scott came along), but when it comes to my body I am pretty smart. So don't worry, and I'll keep you posted on my progress.

I've taken diet pills before (remember good ol' Phen-Fen?). I still exercised and watched what I ate, but they honestly DID help me lose weight. I lost 50 lbs. Good luck with your Trim-Spa.

One thought occured to me that I wanted to pass along. Have you had a physical in a while? You could have a thyroid problem. One of my skinny friends has to now take thyroid medicine for the rest of her life. She eats like crazy and mostly bad stuff and she's thin as a rail. I know you eat right and exercise often, so if you're not losing weight, this could be why. We all know muscle weighs more, but it seems like you should have lost weight.

*just my two cents*

Hey,

Have you had your blood checked? That was what happened to two people I know, they had thyroid issues. The minute they were diagnosed and put on treatment, the exercise they had been doing start helping them lose weight.
They both look really good now. Feel better too.
