EDIT: I am trying what someone else suggested and editing my post to keep the thread short?

July 1st - 155 lbs and feeling really bad today... oh well, it is a new day and by the 8th I hope to be singing a different tune :)

July 8th- 145.5  can't really say I tried hard enough though... EDIT> THANKS FOR CALLING ME OUT ON THIS :) MY FIGERS ARE DISLEXIC... SHOULD READ 154.5

7.8.09 EDIT> it is Ok Rozie- you will make it through and next week you will get the results you want- we both will :) Hang in there!

I think many people have that problem! I have read many times that we crave sugar and make bad decisions when we are tired.

Try upping the protein and eating good fruit instead of cake?

Hi ka :) I think I keep following you around on the posts :)

Avocado and carrot soup? Tell me more.....

Hi Ka! How are you doing?

This is pretty much like a post I had posted :) Everybody pretty much told me to just do it :)

Any chance you need a friend? I would love to have someone to push me....

Panacea911- at this point I am in the contemplation stage, this weekend I will set some time for the planning stage to set for Monday the action stage....

I think I either skip the planning stage or half the planning stage which then leads me to give up in the action stage.

Where are you struggling?

i know i have been MIA- but come back! :)

I have gotten lazy and need to get back on track. When I was working out more, I looked and felt better.... probably felt better than I actually looked, but it is how you feel that changes your attitude. My bf is in super good shape... he does encourage healthy eating and working out, but like yours, isn't harsh about it. I think it is more that I feel better about myself than too much about how I look.

Sounds like we need to get motivated...  hence the motivation forum?

What about getting a group of girls together on a thread (perhaps this one) so we can get each other back into our happy places ;)?

OH NO!! Everybody is gone!?!?!? Would you guys like to do a weekly goal setting type of thing so that we can push each other or something?

sorry! things have been hectic at work and school and everything!! I am still with you guys!

challenging would be most accurate for a one word translation

I'm here :) reading through comments and getting to know you all .... some days I can't really get on here, so I might miss some in between, but I will get here :)

I have been on here for a while and I did really great for a bit and then the excuses hit. I think I need to take it more slowly this time to get out of the all or nothing mentality. I do enjoy working out- when I am in the groove :) and love fruits and veggies- but for some reason I like to punnish myself by eating crud... actually, the stuff that I eat isn't so bad... it is the moderation thing.

I just started going back to school for my masters and am working, so I'm really trying to find a balance and have to admit that I am struggling a little.

Carly- I like the idea of challenges... maybe we should get a little weekly one going or something with this group? I work well when others challenge me :)

Steph- do you like swimming or biking? Maybe those can give you a break while your foot fixes itself :) My struggle came after college when I got a desk job- ick cubical butt! I have never been a runner, but had fun doing some 10Ks in the past- the problem is that I don't keep up in between so every year it is like starting over again... not this year- I hope :)

Autumn- I love the Biggest Loser!! Your schedule seems pretty tough to keep consistancy, but you can do it :) And great job on the 1 lbs down!

Leronia- gosh, I guess I can't complain about being busy :) I find that I do better with everything when I have a scheduled work out, even though it takes time out of the day- I just get more done... I am with you there on the gym being a stress buster... its just making sure that I schedule it :)

My goal for next week is to write out goals-lol, but true

I know everybody is busy- I just miss the chat... I have been horrible about posting... it is time to start journaling again.... funny how that really kept me on track.

Maintaining is good esp. since you are so close to your personal ideal. How much longer working two jobs?

I'm getting through... these last two weeks have been stressful and I haven't been taking care of me like I should so that probably makes it worse..... I have to get back into working out and eating better! It is so stupid that I let myself go a little b/c I feel tired when those are the things that make me feel better in the long run...... eh, I WILL I WILL do better!! :)

I hope everybody is doing well!!!

sweetandbrown- I know exactly what you are saying- I have recently lost a few pounds and someone mentioned it, so in my head it gave me the freedom to not stay on top of things?? So, for the last two weeks I have been in I don't care mode- but that stopped yesterday.... well, at least I didn't give myself freedom to eat and drink to my heart's desire. Luckily, I have only gained 1.5 (on a good day) lbs back, but if I keep this up, I will be back to square one and then some.  For the next few days, I will continue to stay conscious of what I eat and try not to over induldge... Sunday my goal is to make a meal plan for the week and monday back to counting and checking my deficit. See, if I write it down, that means I have to do it, right? :)

Luzd, that sounds like a good plan- good luck and I hope it gets easier for you!

did i lose everyone?
