Girls!  I feel my motivation coming back.  I appreciate your comments.  I especially agree how we can't control what happens around us, but we can control how we act.  My biggest thing is to not let a mistake derail me.  I often tend to blow the rest of the day off instead of living in the moment.  For example if I eat a cookie l normally would let it ruin my entire day and I will eat bad the rest of the day.  I have to take it hour by hour even minute by minute.  I need to live in the present and stop worrying about the bigger picture because it will come.  Not overnight, but it will come.

I got good news.  My sister is going to give me her treadmill.  She got it for Xmas and doesn't use it so lucky me.  I have some a cheap bike and elliptical from Walmart.  They work, but I am bored.  Very excited to walk on a fancy treadmill.  Also I don't think I have gained all my weight back.  Just a couple pounds.  See I am thinking positive already.

Thank you again PENNY & JODI.  I hope I can be here for you when you need it. Jodi I love the sound of sweeping leaves.  You must be somewhere there is an actual Fall:)

XOXO

Hi Girls!  It sounds like everyone is doing so well.  I am so happy for all of you.

I on the other hand have completely lost all motivation.  I went out of town and haven't seemed to get back on the wagon.  I hate weight.  I feel crappy and like a loser.  I don't mean to bring this group down.  I am just looking for ways to stay motivated.  How do all of you do it?

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time.

Lindsey

Good Morning Ladies!

I am finally back.  This past weekend was my bday weekend and we went to a resort in Phoenix.  We had a lot of fun.  I didn't eat so well, but I am ready to be back on track.  It is amazing how yucky you feel when you eat the bad stuff.  Before I went I weighed and I lost an additional 2lbs.  I am at 12 lbs in 6 weeks.  I was a little disappointed because I wanted a bigger result, but I know this is  a healthy rate.  I am going to change my foods  alittle this week and hopefully make healthier choices and see the results.  I think I will have to work a little harder with the weekend I just had.

vablueangel-I hope your asthma is doing better.  I can't imagine that feeling of not breathing so well.

shizzigirl-Happy Anniversary.

Penny-you are in my prayers.  

luvhim-I absolutely love the belly dancing idea.  I did a class a while back and had so much fun.

Jodi-a 16 is a 16 that is great.  

Have a great Monday.  Talk to you all soon.

I just have to vent real quick before I workout out.  

I hate photos of myself.  Have you ever seen a picture of yourself that made you sick? Well I just saw a couple. I swear when I step out of the house I don't look like what I see in the pictures.  Does the camera really add 10 pounds?  I would feel so much better if the camera added 30 pounds.  UGHH!

Well on the flip side it has got me more motivated.

Thanks for all the calorie counting help.  You guys are great and I have only been here a week.  Welcome Asia.

I will post more later.

Shizzigirl-Seriously your workout routine is inspirational.  You kick bootie.  I hope to be like that soon:)

I will be back later until then have a great Monday.

xoxo

The weekends are always rough.  I allow myself one free meal.  It makes it alot easier to get through the weekends.  How do the rest of you do on the weekends?

Jodi-WOWSERS! 25lbs is awesome.  I don't think it is so much the # as it is to fit into smaller sizes.  I am around a 16-18 right now and even with 10lbs down I still fit in the same size.  If I could get into a smaller size that would be fantastic.  So congrats on that:)  Are you a stress eater?  Also if you are pms-ing that might be period (bloating)  weight. You might not have gained any weight so don't get discouraged.  

Well I have a week before my 30th.  My husband and I are going to go to a resort here in Phoenix.  I have a suit that I need to fit a little better in.  Next week I will need the extra push.  No mess ups this weekend. 

What does everyone do for exercise?

Right now I do the Biggest loser every other day and the other days I ride a stationary bike for 20 minutes.  I hate to exercise, but I hear if you do it 21 days it turns into a habit.  I feel better doing it first thing in the morning and getting it over:)

Well Happy Friday:)

Hello!  

I'd like to join this group it that is OK.  I have been counting calories for the last month and have already lost 10lbs.  I am needing a buddy to chat with and keep me motivated.  

I am turning 30 on the 11th and that was my main motivating factor.  I have lived the last few years very lazy and I am ready for a change.  Things are moving slow, I need a little extra help to keep on going.  

A little bit about me.  I am married and have a 6 year old.  I am an interior designer from AZ.  Love clothes, love to cook, love to spend time with family and friends.  I am pretty shy sometimes and it is mainly because of my weight.  I tend to think people are judging me by the way I look.  It holds me back.  I am ready for a change.  If 30 is the new 20 I want the next 10 years to be the best of my life.

Anxious to hear back from everyone.  Just let me know what you are doing and what is working for you.

Thanks!

Lindsey
