Giving support on Buddyslim to loyal people here; Listen to your body

Anne, I know Anne is on vacation but thanks Anne for enlighting me on this thing called Buddyslim support.  Yesterday Anne put out a blog for advice and even though I didn’t have time at that moment to give her information on weight training, I went back later in the day and gave her some advice.  She responded back with a THANK YOU!  OH my God!  That felt sooooooo good!! WOW, someone needed help and they were receptive to my response.

What did Anne taught me?  It taught this buddyslimmer to continue doing that.   Rod and I are cutting out a lot of computer time each night so we spend quality time together.  I won’t always have time to read every single blog like I used to. Frankly with all the hatin’ that’s been going on and some directed right at me from more then one person, I just don’t feel the need to put my time into every blog because let’s face it, not everyone wants the type of support I want to give.

With that said, I told myself I will focus on blogs that wants something - like advice -real advice on this journey.  Those who is receptive to it and want to truly succeed.   New and old Buddies who truly hunger for success - those are the peole I’m drawn to. 

I’ve seen the word clique thrown around a lot.  I’m sorry, but once you’ve been here for over a year you get to know certain people.  People who blogs each day, those who are active in the forums, those who are here because they know the value of each lb loss and how hard it is to keep it off.  It’s not my bad that I am loyal to those people first and foremost because they deserve support.  Heck this journey is tough, it’s an every day battle.  Each blog, each entry is proof of their dedication to their body.

I love seeing new people here and I love welcoming them.  Don’t get me wrong, but you know I can’t read each and every blog every day.

Last night AFTER I reported my food intake to the Cats, I went and just ate another 400-500 calories!  You know what I realized?  My body likes it when it eats 2000 calories - that’s when it feels full.  I guess for now I stick to that.

I went home and knocked out for a few hours missing out on kickboxing and Pilates. Thank GOD I ran my 5K+ earlier that morning.  It’s kickboxing and Pilates take two today.

ANOTHER THING: ALL THE GIRLS IN THE FORUMS I’M INVOLVED IN ARE HOT!!! They are doing it! My WILDCATS - ARE THE BEST!

  2. LittleFlower @ May 28th, 2009

  3. Joyous1 @ May 28th, 2009

    hope you don’t think I had any ill words for you. :( You know I love ya girl :) Good idea on the advice thing though… I know you have a lot to give!! :)

  4. khmerbeauty @ May 28th, 2009

    Not at all Joy. Honestly, I’m tired of how I’ve been protrayed in the last month or so. I know there were mutiple blogs, comments made that were pointing fingers at me and I’m tired of sitting back and saying nothing.

    You know I love you too hon! :)

  5. khmerbeauty @ May 28th, 2009

    Nicolle - thank you sweetie! Nope not going anywhere just changing how I do things a bit.

    Blaithin - oh yay!! Let’s trade sore notes. LOL Gonna check my emails right now.

  6. jackiep @ May 28th, 2009

    Did I miss something? What the hell happened?

    Don’t let those haters get to you. You look amazing and should be so proud of yourself for all of the weight you lost. You are definetly an inspiration for me. Keep up the good work and continue to inispire people like myself (I am sure that is rewarding within itself)

  7. trish72 @ May 28th, 2009

    ((((Nancy))))) You have always been an awesome supporter to me and other Buddies. You always are fair in your comments, and if someone has an issue, it’s on THEM. You are an inspiration sweetie!

  8. Leida @ May 28th, 2009

    I hope folks stop worrying too too much about who responds to whom, and who are in which group :) Never goes in any good places, that.

    Good workout, Nancy. As for those daily calories, your balances are all in check, that’s the main thing. :)

  9. weightlossnewb @ May 28th, 2009

    I love getting advice, words of encouragement, & motivation from anyone. I would assume that’s what we’re all here for :) But most importantly, I come on here & blog for myself, so that I have something to look back on to track my progress & my weight loss journey.

  10. grapeape @ May 28th, 2009

    Ah well. Hatas be hatas, right? Don’t worry about them. I love ya, Nancy. I would not want anything to be different. Then you wouldn’t be the Nancy I have grown to love.

  11. MayaIsReady @ May 28th, 2009

    I agree we’re the best. ;) And it pisses me off when people throw ‘clique’ around also. We’re not in EFFIN High School anymore! If we don’t talk to you as much it’s not because we hate you or we’re ignoring you… for me it’s because I don’t relate to you. Nancy, you are one of those people. I relate to you, so I stand by you as a true friend. People could call this whatever they want. It’s not a goddamn clique, it’s a support group! Get with the program people!!!!!! LOL

  12. Lori @ May 28th, 2009

    another great blog Nancy

    you can’t be everything to everyone and give them all what they need
    you do an awesome job though Nancy
    I think you help way more people than you realize

    there’s no way you can make everyone happy and its not your job to
    you are passionate in the things you believe and that comes through loud and clear
    if people don’t like it then too bad they don’t need to read your blogs or take your advice

    good for you for taking more time for you and Rod
    that is important too

    once again life is all about finding a balance isn’t it?

  13. momtothegirls @ May 28th, 2009

    So how does a girl get involved with the Wildcats? I think I might be interested! LOL!

  14. sabrinaBB @ May 28th, 2009

    Hi girl :) Like I said before you will always have people complaining about others. Just no way to make everybody happy. You just stay the way your are hun :)
    We luv ya :D

  15. JustJane47 @ May 28th, 2009

    Hey Nancy…I’m really sorry to hear about the drama. I’ve seen so many rude and selfish people come and go here on BuddySlim.

    I myself think you are truly THE BEST!!! your energy and support are both phenomenal :)

    Totally understand what you are saying about cutting computer time which means BuddySlim too. I started cutting back a few weeks ago. Life is busy sometimes, but I’m glad you are still here!!!

    One more thing…WHOEVER IS OUT THERE TALKIN CRAP ABOUT MY GIRL NANCY CAN ANSWER TO ME (I got your back girlfriend)
    Love ya, miss ya too
    Jane :)

    Great blog. I haven’t been on for a few days cause the baby has been very ill but I hope to start blogging every day. Hopefully all of the stuff that has been going on will clear up for you I love your advice when I get it so keep up the good work

  18. skinnychris @ May 28th, 2009

    Overlook the jealous folks Nancy, thats where alot of it stems from. This is not high school and if they cant handle it then they need to move on down the road!

    And good for you for the quality time. Sure we will miss you but working on your relationship right now is more important.

  19. mika @ May 28th, 2009

    this thing is crazy!! well i guess you can read it twice. lol

  22. beckyboo @ May 29th, 2009

    Hey mama ! I have been trying to cut down on my computer time too ! I find I am getting a headache more often and wondering if it from staring at the damn laptop all the time ? Grr… I also feel bad that I cant read more blogs. I try to read more but by the time I read many of the people I have been in contact with over the last 6 months, I realize, shit, an hour has gone by of me sitting here and then there is the headache and then I try to meet some new people but time just flies on by, doesn’t it? Then like you said with needing to spend more quality time with ur loved ones, we got to have that balance, right ? Oh well. We cant win ‘em all sister !

  23. 8crazyemotions @ May 29th, 2009

    Glad you wrote this blog. I know you have a lot on your plate right now. And you do need to bond with Rod more. I think it’s an awesome idea you two taking time out from the computers, and tv. Just to spend time with each other.

    It’s hard for me to get around to the blogs as well. keeping up with the forum is hard enough. So I really appreciate it when somebody posts that they wrote a new blog that way I know to go look.

    lol.. I hope you know I’m serious about this weight loss journey… Even though I don’t blog every day I try to blog once a week!

    I think the Wildcats and You are the best too!!!

  24. gettinfit2 @ May 29th, 2009

    Okay Nancy, what did I miss ? I guess this clique thing escapes me becuse maybe I am not on as much as I should ! You caught me ! Maybe i need to get my own G.S. after me just to get me coming back more ! Yes, I derinitely know how hard it is to lose weight and am taking my corrective measures once again ! Let me just go on the record saying that I am friends with everyone that accepts and I hope whatever is going on here dies down soon! I love all of you buddies ! We should be a big happy family to support one another isn’t that what we are all here for ? Yes, I agree you wild cats are hot stuff ! Hugs, Kimmi

  25. kyliejo @ May 29th, 2009

    my body likes 2000 cals too but I don’t do enough exercise for that

  26. qtgirl @ May 29th, 2009

    Hey Nancy,

    I agree, I’ve only been here 6 months and have seen people come and go. I’m not always on, but I try to give support when I can and I appreciate what I get (like the help from you!).

    I think time with Rod is good too though. At my peak I was on here like 2 hours a day!!!! It can eat up time (which is guess is better than eating food…LOL. I wonder how many Buddyslimmers eat while they post???? (just a random thought, sorry!

    Take care hon!

  27. nana4 @ May 29th, 2009

    Great blog! I believe for the most part you get what you give! I try to give as much support as I get!
    I am so excited to be a new member of the Wild Cats! You are so awesome and made me feel so welcome!!
    HUGS

  28. poetry4lyf @ May 29th, 2009

    You have been the best Nancy, you know what you do for the people on here, dont let anyone take that away from you. If we havent told you enough I’ll say it again, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

    As I said before I dont know what all happened (I think I have an idea since I saw a few of the blogs) but I dont really want get into it all.

    I think its great that you and the honey are taking more time for each other, but dont leave us (I know you said you’re not but I’m saying it anyway.)

  29. moneil @ May 29th, 2009

    WOW THAT IS HARD TO BELIEVE. YOU WERE ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO REACH OUT TO ME ON THIS SITE. FOR THAT I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH. JUST READING YOUR DAILY BLOG GIVES ME HOPE. YOU AREA GREAT PERSON AND I AM GLAD I HAVE THE CHANCE TO BE YOUR BUDDY!!!

  30. journito170 @ May 29th, 2009

    Girl…you just keep doing you! Haters are actually upset with themselves because they have not reached their goals and then they project onto other people. When you are happy in yourself and improving yourself you don’t have time to hate on others! I’m glad you’re here! Wildcats kick booty! Whoo Hoo!

  31. yani @ May 30th, 2009

    nancy…you are so special and those that don’t value u don’t know what a beautiful friend they are missing

  32. lessinayear @ June 2nd, 2009

    Aw, thanks, Nancy! I’m just getting caught up on reading and respond to folks after my vacation, but appreciate the shout-out… And totally appreciate the advice! You’re the best!
