This week I have been SO tired!!! In the evenings I am having a nap, and getting enough sleep at night, but it just continues. I have been eating right, but I don't even have the motivation/energy to exercise.... I usually exercise 5-6 times a week, and I haven't done anything since Monday. This happened to me about 3…

Almost 15 pounds lost but...
I don't feel like I look much different. Is it possibly that I am just reshaping my body a little? I still have a belly going and I really thought that with 15 pounds gone it would be smaller. Maybe it is and I just can't see it. Anyone else have this happen? Where you lose weight but don't feel like you look like you have?

I need a pep talk!!
It's been a very busy, very hectic, stressful last week or so for me- but that's NO EXCUSE!!:angry: I have been not doing horrible (been doing great all day and getting nibbly at night- which is not like me at all), but certainly not as good as I was doing and still should be, and have been doing. I feel like I'm staring…

GAIN yourself!
Keys to success = G A I N G = Goals When it comes to success set yourself small, achievable goals. Start with a 15 minute walk, then shoot for 17minutes the next week, and so on. Instead of eating a whole cookie, just have one bite to kill the craving. Not a bite that’s ½ the cookie… a SMALL bite. The sheer joy of…

UGH! Lazy, lazy, lazy
And that's me. Despite the fact that I run around all weekend and do some pretty strenuous stuff (working with horses, cleaning the barn, riding, etc.) I still can't seem to lose this weight! At my "normal" job (Monday-Friday) I have a 1 1/2 hour commute and then a good 5-8 minute walk to my office. I try to eat right and…

Bad Meatloaf...
Hey Everybody, I need a pep talk! I had a bad night last night... and by bad, I don't mean that I ate too much meatloaf... I mean, I worked really hard to make a good, more healthy meatloaf and I failed. I failed desparately. I am so not a cook. I mean, I have my staples which I can make with my eyes closed, but they…

people can be so thoughtless
So the other day my grandma called to tell me she thought I was pregnant because of all the weight I've gained. Now I don't see her often, so it's understandable that she would be surprised to see me bigger. But the day she was calling about (the day she noticed the difference) was my WEDDING DAY! :mad: Couldn't she just…

Needing Some Help...
Hey gang. I have started 2009 off great. I have dropped quite a bit (in my eyes) of weight and feel much better. However, I feel that I've sort of plateaued. One week I weighed myself and found that I had dropped a lot of weight!! The next week I put a few of those pounds back on. I've been hovering around this area for a…

Scared, Sad and Trying Desperately to Surrender to Doing Goo

My start weight was 330 pounds at just under 5 foot tall, size 30/32. Over the first two years I went down to 170 pounds and size 10/12. I managed to maintain that weight…

A swift kick in the pants...
is what I need. It's seems like I get motivated and do well for only a few weeks, then I get sick or depressed and go back to eating crap and not exercising for a few weeks, then it starts over. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how do you make it past that point? All my room mates lead a very unhealthy lifestyle,…
