    This is a perfect post. :) Thank you so much for advice and motivation. I'm more than halfway through my journey and sometimes this becomes the HARDER part of the journey (the newness and novelty have more-or-less worn off) so it's a matter of reminding yourself about the LIFESTYLE change rather than the 'quick-fix.' You're looking great! :)

    I'm truly glad I can help ♡ And you're right, it does where off and we're left with that decision. Relapse of push.

    I still have some weeks where I'm just mentally worn and I have to push myself. 100% of the time when I do that, I am glad by the end that I did do that. Especially with weightlifting for me. To get stronger, there's no better feeling. :)

    And thank you so very much♡♡

    Great post. This should be pinned at the top for people who feel like quitting or having doubts.

    YESS! I concur..bc there are plenty of posts today that need to read this thread.

    Daaaw ♡♡ Thanks for the vote of confidence. You guys rock! And yes, part of my inspiration to write this was seeing a few posts asking about giving up. Never!

    Brilliant, SugaryLynx :drinker: . Ooh, and that's the first leg pic of yours I've seen! Hubba, hubba:heart::love:! I am moved to another level of inspiration. Thank you!

    Seriously, progress pictures are my new motivator. Sure, tape measure and strength gains and the scale show tiny progresses, but the pics--our pics show the overall progression.

    And the answer to the post title--NO, always NO!:flowerforyou:

    ♡Squeee. Thank you! One of my physical goals was to get those angular lifter legs and with this bulk, I'm definitely seeing a bit of that at laaaast. Eeeee!!

    And I agree, there are some crazy awesome ladies on this website who inspired me every day to push myself

    Great job ....... you look amazing ...... and I am jealous !

    Eating well & moving each day gets me closer to my goal ......

    And knowing that life without ice cream or pizza is boring ....... who wants to be bored ?

    Just take HUMAN bites !

    :flowerforyou: Thank you so much! ♡ and you're right, each step you take to better yourself is a step in the right direction. Even a step back is progress, so long as you're aiming to move forward.

    Oh, I would be such an ice queen without my gelato!

    Great post!! Tomorrow I complete my first week since I rededicated myself to the plan. I honestly don't know if I've ever been this determined, but I also know how fleeting that determination can be. So far I am really getting a lot out of MFP. More than any other weight loss board. Thanks again!! :happy:

    Good timing for me. I just finished week 4, and am not seeing the results I had hoped. I will just keep going on! You look great! Thank you!

    Absolutely so what i needed to read ,perfect timing. I was gonna post a " who else is tired of this and just wants to give in" today. I work my butt ( actually im trying to build a butt) off at the gym 6 days a week i eat 1400-1600 calories and this maintains my weight. And since it took 2 years to lose 25 lbs ive been at this awhile. I cook all my food i dont eat out at all i take my lunch etc. My weakness is ice cream i do the fudge pops, frozen yogurt whatever it works i always log it. So today after the gym im gonna really treat myself and get a snacksize mcflurry, peanut butter cup of course. When i log it its 410 calories, are you freaking serious it took me like 10 min to eat it. Thats a quarter of my calories for the day. Im gonna be 54 in a few months im not ever gonna be a babe,why the hell am i doing this,just go buy the stretch pants and be happy for goodness sake. NO NO NO i will not let this defeat me , i WILL be a babe, even if its just in my own mind. Thank you for the perfect post to keep me motivated!

    Not only are you an inspiration, but you really write well too! What an awesome post..... You motivate us! :smooched: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :smile:

    ♡ Thank you so very much♡ I love writing, even if it's for my own benefit sometimes. It really helps me clarify my emotions. And I feel incredible knowing I can inspire. Having started with others who inspire me, paying it forward, I suppose!
