What Keeps You Motivated?
Someone asked me this the other day. After wanting to be around for my family, the main 2 things are the way I feel now and how I never want to go back to how I felt when I was heavy. When I was at my heaviest of 260, I was tired all of the time and had a hard time catching my breath. I could not walk long distances, let…

Well I used to do fashion shows....
My freshman year and sophomore year of college I was in a modeling organization on campus and did countless shows. I was the same size I am now and was being put into scenes and cute outfits. For a year I haven't been in any shows by choice of course. I decided to put school first. Lately I have some extra time and now I…

What Word Do You Want To Describe You?
When you reach your weight loss goal, what is that one word that when used in a sentance directed at you, will just make it all worth it? For me - its 'tiny.' I think tiny people are adorable, and since I'm already short I gave up a long time on the supermodel sexy route. :laugh: Tiny for me is also a very feminine…

Doing it, no matter what!
As I have said before, I love to work out, and I love how it makes my body feel, but I have a sort of phobia about working out when others are home with me. Well, today, I decided that I would overcome that little quirk, and do it regardless. I don't care if the president comes in, I'm not stopping! I did my 60 minute Slim…

I am sick and need motivation
I am sick and my whole family is sick. I work until 5:00pm and need something to do that counts as a workout but takes no thought or much insentive. Is there such a thing?????

Motivation gone :( HELP!
I don't know what has happened lately but I have absolutely NO motivation. I'm down to my last 10 to 15 lbs of weight to lose and just can't get rid of it. The only thing that keeps me going is the guilt I would feel if I don't exercise. Has anyone else had this happen and if so, what's the best way to get over it?? I'll…

I truly feel I am doing this right
but my weightloss is so slow to other's. I guess Im discouraged tonight. I've never been very successful at anything in my life and this "deal" seems like the hardest I've worked for anything. I just wonder if Im doing something wrong that is holding back my progress. I eat all my calories 99% of the time and don't go over…

I've got some new motivation
I was out with friends Sat. night and this other girl, whom I've never met, says to me... "Gosh, you are really pretty for your size." Hey, at least she didn't tell me I have a great personality. :wink: Lynnie

I just have to tell someone! =D
So this whole thing started for me a month ago, and I weighed in once a week. Two weeks ago I had lost 4 lbs! But I decided for the holidays I would not weigh in as much because knowing me, I would either gain or maintain, so there was no point. Well today (two weeks later) I gave in, and had to weigh myself... I was…

What was it for you?
What was that final straw that made you change? For me it was budgeting money like crazy to be able to go home for Christmas! We have lived off of BARE minimal and have saved over 25% of our paychecks to go home for Christmas when we had been living paycheck to paycheck and just making it! I figured if I could get that…

I think I finally realize what day by day means
So many times in my weight loss attempts, I have gone for the "big picture" right away. If I can lose this in 30 days or if I can make it 1 week without chocolate. I say kick that philosophy to the curb! I am just trying to get through ONE day right now. I just need ONE whole day that I do good, don't binge and cheat a…

Hypothyroidism and pregnancy
Okay, so here's what's going on. My sister, who just turned 30, has always had some problems with her thyroid. Last month, she found out she was pregnant, and two days ago she got her thyroid checked out at the urge of her OB and found out she has hypothyroidism. Of course, she went online and looked it up and FREAKED OUT…

So I've lost almost 20 lbs, and even though most of my friends comment on how much weight I've lost, I barely see any difference! Does that ever happen to you? What's the deal?

Faux Motivators (funny!)
Ok, I felt like I had to share. It made me laugh so hard. I went to a small high school where the teachers all knew the kids well. My gym teacher was a guy who is best described as "adorably prickly." Very often quite cool and funny, but still capable of being a supreme douche. All throughout high school, I got a constant…

Dang it!
I was doing sooo amazing before Thanksgiving hit! I GAINED 1 1/2 lbs that week alone! Here it is weeks later and I STILL am carrying around that weight!!!! I've been really careful not going over my calories, even when my body was growling and felt hungry (probably due to the over indulgence weeks before). I am just…
