Slim Person Inside!
Information
There's a slim person in everyone of us. This group has been created to inspire and empower anyone to "see" the slim person inside of them.
Members: 115
Latest Activity: Jun 23
This group has been set up to inspire anyone wanting to lose weight to see the “slim person “ who already exists inside of themselves and, in so doing, to attract what they really want, a great self-image.
Genetics gave us our skeletons but our lifestyle choices add the padding. Where that padding goes and whether it is muscle or fat is a choice we can make at anytime.
When we have the idea of what we want the slim person inside to look like we can find out what it takes to become what we want and a few role models to inspire.
(I took this bit out but think I should add it back in again but a bit shorter)
How to find the slim person inside, calculate your Lean Body Mass (LBM) and aim to maintain that LBM to ensure that you lose fat and not muscle if you diet.
Two formulae:
1.) LBM = Present weight - Fat (i.e. present weight x body fat %)
2.) New Slim Person Inside = LBM / (100%-New Body Fat%)
e.g. If a person weighs 70kg with 35% Body Fat and want to get to 20% Body Fat, how much does the slim person inside weigh (i.e. new target weight)?
1.) LBM = 70kg - (70kg x 35%) = 70kg - 24.5kg (fat) = 45.5kg LBM
2.) Slim Person Inside = 45.5kg / (100%-20%) = 45.5kg / 80% = 57kg New Target
Hope that makes sense!
I don't have any desire to be a body builder but just looking at pictures on the Body for Life website inspired me to know what was possible. I was inspired by Bill Phillips' book but did not do the program nor do I sell their products. I just think the results are inspiring. Check it out
How's this for a change of shape?

I'm not sure if any of you saw "Beyond The Secret" at the movie theater last week, but in case you didn't I wanted to share something Bob Proctor said that really resonated with me: (This may not be exactly what he said but it was something like this.) "Don't focus on losing weight. We are programmed to find things we lose. Instead, focus on releasing it."
How powerful is that? I have a lot more thoughts on that but wanted to share the short version with all of you. If you want to read the long version, check out my latest blog post at tastebudsdiet.blogspot.com

Oh, God.. I used to be a slim person.. always obsessed by it..
I am on medication that has caused great weight gain...
My self-esteem is pretty good.. Except when I go to try on clothes and I can't find anything to fit me or I look awful in one that fits....
If I look in the mirror or see a picture of me, I get real down...
I don't feel fat on the inside, but I am on the outside..
My knees hurt, my feet and my back... I know essentially that I have to get
this weight off for my health..
I went to a conference about gastric bypass surgery and the lap band
procedure.. Forget it.. I would have to do a million things before I could get it
and I don't want to risk my health... It had been my hope, but now
that is gone..
I have got to discipline myself to go to water aerobics three times a week..
AT least it's exercise that is easy on the joints, plus it makes me feel better.. It's fun...
I do not put myself on diets, because it sets me up for failure..
We I do buy healthy food, we end up not having enough money to buy more
healthy food..
I have given up junk food and take out, which I'm sure is a big difference
even if I don't lose weight..
I could stand to lose 100#... but that just overwhelms me..
I used to be 120-130# who used to exercise alot.. I was in good shape
physically, but not mentally or emotionally.. I wouldn't change anything to go back to being that person again... I like who I am..
I could like myself more if I got thinner and healthier.. thanks,,,,WW

My granddaughter is so excited about me losing weight. At 8 years old even she understands that this losing weight will help her grandpa live longer. I reviewed videos on my camcorder one day and found she had been in the garage making promoting videos asking people to go to my web site. I realize how important it is to her for me to be successful. I am sure there are other grandparents out there that want to have a long and happy life with their grandkids so I plan to do all I can to get the word out on how people of age can lose weight and be successful at improving health at a time when nature is working so hard to lessen such.
Here is a video I put together with a bit of help from my granddaughter.

Hi All... I used to be a slim person.. in high school, I took diet pills. I would starve myself and over exercised.. Eventhough I was thin, I hated myself so much.. I was obsessed about my weight.. Eventhough I looked good..
Now I am very overweight.. I don't like it.. But, I don't beat myself up over it..
I looked into gastric bypass surgery, FORGET IT.. I just decided to eat healthier foods and be aware of why and when I'm eating..
It is partly my fault for being overweight because of emotional eating, but it is also because I was put on medication for depression that causes weight gain..
I've been to alot of self esteem groups and various workshops... I actually love myself more so now than ever before.. way more than when I was skinny.. I'm glad that girl is gone.. She was so sad.. But, yeah sure... I'd love to lose weight for health reasons and to look nice in clothes.... thanks..WW
