Welcome to the Wagon Jumpers weekly thread. We are a group of CC members who have identified that one of our main challenges with achieving our weight loss, maintenance or general health goals is consistency. 

This thread is designed to encourage long term commitment to our goals by publicly declaring them and asking the other members of this thread to hold us accountable.

Each member on this thread (listed below) has agreed to check into the thread at least once per week. If any member does not check in by the end of the week, we ask all members to politely and positively PM that member and encourage them to make a post and stay on track (or get back on track).

If you would like to be a member of this thread, either leave a note here and I will add you, or send me a PM.

i'm still here, trying to stay on track.... sorry it's been a busy week... hope everyone is doing well.  i'll check in with a little more detail and respond to the topic next week!  i promise!!  :D

eek.  well I stayed on plan 2 days this week, the rest kinda fell by the wayside and I was "winging" it.  On a positive note, my weight has stayed the same.

Supersize, I have turning over and over the question you asked re how will I stay motivated!  I am working on this...I don't want to fall into the ol' sticking to it for a couple weeks then just giving up...but I've been off "plan" for so long and gained back some weight so it is hard to get back to it again. 

Let's face it, being healthy is WORK. 

A smoker can hang with non smokers to help them quit.

A drinker can hang with non drinkers to help them quit.

I havent' been able to find any NON EATERS yet. ha ha ha

My plan for this week (starting today) is:

* drink 10-12 glasses of water a day. 

* exercise exercise exercise!!!!!  at least 30mins 5x during the week

 

I used to drink so much water, I loved the way it made me feel, my skin was glowing, bla bla bla...now I have to force myself...

agh.  I'm whining...I'll be back later!

I did a little better this week. I managed not to buy any food at work yesterday, which made me happy :)

OK. I've had all the calories that I'm allowed today. It's 9:30 PM and I want to eat everything in sight. But I'm not gonna do it!! There. I said it. No more food tonight. And tomorrow I'm gonna get up and start all over again.

Why, or why is this so hard. I'm hoping that typing this post will give me the resolve I need to finish the day well. This is the time of night when I really want to eat anything that isn't nailed down.

But, tonight I REFUSE....

This Week's Thread is Closed.
