I found out exercising makes me feel more confident
 

:p Just got back from working out and ya know what I feel good;) I worked with the trainer today just doing some basic exercises squats, presses and such. I was afraid to do the squats I thought I'd fall flat on my ass, but I didn't! So yeah for me!!!! I think I'll go back tomorrow too! Did any of you work out today! We'll gotta go I'm on my way to a sexier self;)

OK Reading this thread I did put dinner in the oven and rode my stationary bike for three miles. Only about 10 minutes worth. I am not supposed to be exercising yet so need to take it easy. But it felt good. I could feel the burn in my legs. Dinner will be ready in half an hour or less. I want to feel like I am sexy again. So hard when I can not even shower with the light on. Yet that is!!

Miss Maggie I know just how you feel - You said you're not suppose to be exercising yet have you been sick or had surgery? Please don't over do things ok? Remember to pay attention to your body cues like sore muscles or tiredness. Exercising is good but make sure it's ok for you I wouldn't want you to do harm? Remember the sexy is still there it is just a little hidden right now- go ahead turn the lights on and pretend it is Sunshine :)
Have a great day and remember Healthy= Sexy

msmarilyn,

Thank you for your nice answer. I am having server issues and could not get back here or if I did could not get my posts to go through. Darn needing to change servers. Not liking that. Makes me want to eat the WHOLE refirgerator. :(

Yes I am having surgery for a little problem and need to take it easy until it all heals. I am still walking only not all that far. Soon I should be able to get into exercising. I do want to exercise and hoping when I can my weight will start to go down. At least I have lost inches. Just not enough. I think I need to lower my carbs. Up my protein. Will give that a try and see if it helps. As for the rest I have been really good no cheating. After all I am only cheating myslef.

Maggie

Hi Maggie,
Sounds like you're doing all the right things, especially cutting the carbs. I find that if I cut out the junk carbs and Increase my protien I feel full longer which is always a plus when you're on a diet. My doctor told me not to worry so much about carbs from natural sources like fruit just don't overdo it :)

I'm with all you ladies, feeling very un-sexy lately, also a mom, also have a supportive loving husband. I had my daughter in 2/09, gained 60 lbs in the pregnancy when I was already about 10# overweight. I've lost 35 lbs since, then my weight loss stalled and decided I'm going to have to work hard to get to where I should be. Since re-starting fitday (I've been a member for probably like 8 years) on new year's and working out 6 days a week I've lost 2 lbs per week! I'm really motivated and realize that this isn't going to be easy, but will be so worth it. I'm bringing sexy back and want to be at my goal weight by my 30th birthday in July!

Snolzhard, Sounds like you got a plan:) That'll definately help!

this was the theme of the day for me!
 

I went in to log in my food and I forgot this had a forum and decide to check it out. I couldnt believe this thread was on here about feeling sexy. I am trying to lose 32 lbs and kids and a VERY tough marriage where my husband is having issues himself therefore isnt very romantic or complimentary so therefore i feel non existant...ugly, and lost. So we had a huge fight today got some stuff out in the open and then he said something about how i dont take care to be sexy! i was like whatever!! I think I am attractive and yes i think once i lose the weight i would feel amazing. so like you all i am trying to get my sexy bk. I dont think I ever really felt it, so here's to me trying to find it at 36!

good luck everyone!:D

Kgbrav it's hard to feel sexy living with a person with issues....my husband has been a total moody ass crank lately so I've been kinda within myself not sad but not to up either ya know? Men are total freaks ha? I'm glad you're with us :) We're a great group of ladies interested in getting back to feeling good about ourselves. You're only 36 that is the perfect age to feel SEXY!

I'd like to join you sexy girls too. I'm struggling to get that confidence back too! I'm not very over weight, but I feel horrible and embarrassed. This time I'm dieting and exercising with my husband, so hopefully it will be easier!
