Orlcam---I may give you a run for your money on that prize, only I haven't been able to brave the scales either. Holiday+Period=Weight gain....
My fast day yesterday turned Into a non fast day as well and I'm pretty much going to wait until my schedule returns to start fasting. I will however do my best to stay in calorie range.0 -
New year new start.0

Just wanted to share pics from the wedding yesterday when I was excited to wear the same dress again, but 45 pounds less. No good full body pics for this year unfortunately and don't have any comparison pics from last year either (because I hid from the camera or threatened my friends haha), but still wanted to share and thank all of you for helping me get here, especially mentally!
I guess this one would count as a comparison- not the same dress, but another wedding from last year lol. I believe 325ish range...

And just last week I was at 165.7!!!
Okay so numbers from the year...
Last January = 186
This January = 173
Total year loss = 13lbs
Next year will be better, but I will be thankful for the loss I've had.0 -
Ack...I think at least 5 lbs of that is going to fly off of you with 2 weeks of fasting.It was so nice reading everyone's posts. So I got on the scale this morning shock and horror!! 173lbs ...

I still don't know my final number, and I'm thinking of not looking until after 2 or 3 fasts, right after x-mas I was up almost 20 lbs from my lowest...ugh...celebrating the new year with some self loathing...and leftovers.
One of the reasons I haven't posted much (still reading everything)...I feel a bit like a hypocrite giving advice at this point. Haven't logged, haven't been drinking lots of water, lost my daily streak at 148...totally fell apart by not heeding my own advice.
Working on getting this train back on the tracks...big project almost done, meaning big source of stress about to vanish. Now I'z gots to get paid!

Sorry to hear, you are not in a grand place, Orlcam!! You can come here and vent, whenever you need to.
And none of us are perfect. We all fall back into our old habits from time to time. It doesn't really matter if someone has 50 - 100 - 200 lbs to lose. The mind games are the same.
And the carbloaded holidays sure make it easy to stumble! Though they are yummy, they can cause bloat and mood swings and lots more.
You're not a hypocrite. Just because you know what needs to be done, doesn't mean you are in the right mindset or emotional state to do it. Just try to come here regularly so you don't lose complete touch with the goals, you have set for yourself.
And know, that we are here to listen and support you, even when your are not up to joking.

I love reading everyone's comments. None of you are alone or unique in this experience. In July I lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks doing 5:2 beautifully and running a ton. Now I'm up 20 lbs from that (inactivity and not giving a crap about anything) but I'm still confident in my ability to do 5:2.
I agree that checking in here will keep you on track and committing to a food or exercise goal.
I'm so ready to be back at work because it's so easy for me to do this when I have a routine.
Peace out.0 -
Happy New Year everyone! Been a busy New Year so I haven't had time to check in. Great to catch up with you all.
Monday is back to reality day for me. The day when I start paying the piper. Although, I must say I am looking forward to getting back to a routine and discipline. All this "fun" isn't fun, if you know what I mean.
@debbie389 - "New year, new start" Thought it was worth repeating.
@flumi_f - "It doesn't really matter if someone has 50 - 100 - 200 lbs to lose. The mind games are the same." So true, girlfriend!
@thecarbmonster - you look so beautiful. Looking forward to your 2015 posts.
To all of those who are feeling undone by the holidays, believe it isn't the number of times you fall down but the number of times you get up that defines you. We would probably still lighting our homes with candles if Thomas Edison felt like a fraud and quit at his 5000th attempt (it took him 10,000 tries to find the right filament). Love this quote by him: "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
Finally, I saw this quote in the comics, of all places. Thought it was beautiful way to start the new year and wanted to share it with you all.
“For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.”
