Well I sorta strayed off the path, but it could have been worse. Won't go into details but there was chocolate and buttermilk biscuits involved. So today is another day and I am back at it.I am going to do this, just have to tell myself that about a thousand times,Laughing

With you there!  Sometimes I start the day with the best intentions and just trip up by the late afternoon/early evening but I have found that I can re-motivate myself by doing a bit of exercise to kind of counterbalance whatever it was I tripped up on.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a gym freak (far from it!) but maybe just a walk or a "ride" on my exercise horse for 30mins whilst watching TV!  OK, the day is not a resounding success but it's not been that big a fall of the wagon either....

thanks, it is nice to know I am not alone. Weighed in finally this AM and although I did expect a weight gain it was not as bad as I thought it would be so I am at it again , day by day.Cool

Hi

My name is Lee

I need to me more proactive in my health this year.

I just joine this site as a friend of mine likes it alot. I turned 50 in May. I have packed on 30 pounds in ten years. I hate it. I have also started menopause which doesn't help.

I weighed myself today for the first time in 3 months. What a wake up call!!!

My activity level is not good,as I have developed mobility limitations in the last 5 years

Look forward to meeting friends and learning from people who are on their own weight loss journey to inspire each other,

you have company!  i had a great week last week...until the weekend...ugh

but it's a new week and a new start.  been there, done that lots of times before, but i know i will be where i want to be if i just stay focused on the goal.  i keep asking myself why i let it happen every winter and then struggle for a few months to fix it?!  oh well...

and also btw...chocolate shouldn't have to count in our calorie total!!! lol

I too have fallen off the wagon.  Its funny you put it that way because I use that phrase all the time.  Now I say Im on the wagon.  I joined a couple of weeks ago, I guess I should say I rejoined.  I lost 5 lbs so far and 25 to go.  Don't feel bad just make today a new day.  If you have a bad day just make the next day a new start. :) 

I am just getting back on the wagon, too!  I think we all fall down occasionally, and if we just remember that now is a new moment that we can make a good cnoice in, that helps (at least it helps me--otherwise I tend to beat myself over the head about it, which is not a good thing.

i am just getting started again.  I had lost 13 lbs last year, but then gained 7 back, which that was my latest wake up call!  Now i am determined to DO THIS!Laughing

Good for you. I find for me doing the food log is a real motivation .

since may i went from 183 to 153 .my husband payed April 1st and I'm 5'3 so desided I better lose weight exercise and be healthy.This month has been one hell of a rough time.I've gained back 8 lbs.I need to get a grip on this.In march I will be 57 and wanted to be at 135 like the doctor said.I have high blood pressure so I need to do this for me.I am so mad at myself.I need to focus.I need to do something else beside eat when I get over whelmed .
