    mine is the lack of desire to work out. i can change my eating habits all i want, i wont c the results i want till i get up n break a sweat.

    We are opposites. Maybe we should combine forces (lol). I have been working out pretty consistently last year and really haven't lost because my eating is terrible.

    Yup I get those when they are available. But for the most part they only seem to come in French Vanillia and there are so mannyyyyy other delicious flavors lol. a quarter of my calories belong to coffee in the day I swear...never ending struggle.

    I know! And I try so very hard to ignore all of the other ones.

    my struggle seems to be sticking with it even after so long of the scale not moving...I have to remind myself to go by measurements not weight.

    Chocolate and beer and moderation are also struggles of mine, I guess that is why I am the weight I am :(

    "ditto" gave up liquor, then gave up beer, then (today is day 4) gave up wine (all alcohol)
    also being bored
    and if I start on a salty snack, I have a hard time stopping (yea, I guess that's moderation, huh? )

    Overcoming my laziness. I actually love working out, its GETTING to the gym that's the problem. I'm a nightmare for talking myself out of going. :(

    My biggest struggle is getting back on the wagon once I fell off... getting back into routine and exercise.

    I'd have to say my weaknesses are late night snacking and alcohol....and a lack of motivation to exercise. I found that working out on the wii keeps me generally motivated, and I havn't had a drink since new years (WOO 4 days!) and I have re-vamped my eating habits..but i still crave those late night snacks!

    My biggest struggle is also late night eating. Try eating every 3 hours, even just a small snack but make sure you are eating often so your blood sugar level is up. That really helps me. I find that if I eat a late lunch I can't stop eating after dinner, but when I have eaten often all day it is not so hard.

    My biggest struggle? Where do I start! As a wife, mom to five children (ages 4-15), a middle school teacher, and avid volunteer, I think I struggle with putting myself first. That covers it all. If I were to put myself first, then I would make time to journal my food, exercise, relax, make healthy meals....

    Yikes! I vow to make time for me. (Any clones of me out there?)

    :wink:

    I am in the same boat. I am a single mom of 2 that have dancing and kung fu. I work full time and I have my own company. I need 2-3 more hours a day. I have trouble just finding the time.

    My biggest struggle is cooking for my family. I decided that I'd go veg in 2011 but I still cook meat for my family most every night for dinner. Today was tough because I made ham. I LOVE ham. I decided tonight that I'm not cooking for them anymore. My family isn't MY children/husband. It's my brother's kids and him & his wife. They can fend for themselves from now on. I'm putting me first!
