i know the yoyo feeling.. totally sympathise and am totally trapped there too...

the only positive i can find is that at least it yoyo's back down and doesn't keep climbing so i must be doing something right...?

i'm thinking of doing a kellogs cereal diet for a week or perhaps a soup and fruit thing...

def need to kick start another loss this side of christmas...

want to be in the 160's for the new year..

goal weight 1st nov = 160!!!!

booooo i'm still at 175!!! lost a grand total of 8lbs!!!

but at least its a loss right!

hi, i just wanted to say that when i joined calorie count i was 201 and now i'm 176 :D

i find that slow and steady wins the race :) also i feel great now and have lots more energy and you will too :D this site has been really good for me to stay focussed and reminded of my goals :)

best wishes

:)

its not complacency thank you very much! you don't know anything about me! so please don't criticise my decisions!

kchiafulio, at least you know and admit the problem(s) so it can be corrected.  Good luck and stay positive.

harkstyle, keep working at it and you'll get there as every little bit counts.

elfinpickle, without a goal there isn't much challenge. Don't let complacency bite you.

bahai99, review the meal plan for the last week; bet you can figure out the problem.

jennlett, better than gaining.  Maybe a loss will show next week.

==============

Glad to see most everyone is hanging in and still striving for loss.  It takes determination but you can do it.  Keep up the good work and be proud.

As a side line, I have to ask someone to remove one of two 45lb wts left on calfmaster unit at the gym because I can't lift it with my back and I just realized that that is the amount of wt my body used to carry around all the time!

Today, I did Tao Bo by watching video replay over the internet! Fun.

We used to eat healthy years ago so what changed that we don't now?

am pleased and looking forward to the 160's! gosh that will be so exciting!!! am going shopping tmrw for shoes cos I bought a dress for a party! a lovely girly dress :D

Yes we should definitely focus on the goal.. Although at the moment it seems an impossible distance..

Here's me trying to be positive in the hope that it gets me back to the gym :

I have lost 23lbs overall.. that is almost two stone.. I got to 175 in september so surely i can do it again.. Its ok to have to do it twice as long as you keep trying to follow the goal and don't give up...

thanks wheredego..

Everyone off to a good start?  I've had 2 good days.

My focus this month is on being positive and feeling good about what i do.  I read an article about how everyone hits what they focus on.  Whether it's throwing a baseball, shooting an arrow, or getting healthy.  If you spend most of your time thinking about failures and disappointments, you increase those events.  If you think about successes and positive experiences, more of those will occur.

everyone is different after work is amazing for me.. but i have friends that go in teh morning and crash after work on teh sofa and some that cram the gym in at lunchtime..

just find a routine that works for you and keep going :) perhaps you need to try a different type of exercise or a class...
