    Thats not very nice! I was just feeling guilty about what i've eaten yesterday and today. Trying to motivate myself to workout. Cakes won't help!...well, maybe they will...I'll think about how hard I have to work to burn those calories off!

    I feel ya on the motivation to work out :grumble: It's fine once you start though, it just takes a big push to actually start!! Good luck :flowerforyou:

    Mary24 - would it help if you read through your profile again? Look at the reasons why you joined in the first place . . . .

    Try and focus on one choice at a time - rather than looking at the big picture. Instead of dropping out, how about planning your next meal/snack? Make it something you enjoy, and count the calories, but go for a walk or do something to balance it out. Then move onto the next choice . . . do one choice at a time. Some choices may be good, others not as good, but at least you'll be moving in the right direction - rather than giving up!:flowerforyou:

    I don't know if this will help but I made a list of things I was looking forward to when I've lost some weight e.g. looking as good as my friends when I go out, being able to fit into smaller sizes etc etc and I got so excited that I decided that it was really worth it!

    I hope you find your motivation :flowerforyou:

    I agree with the other two, don't just quit, just start over tomorow is another day, just b/c you ate bad today, or even a couple days, tomorow is brand new!

    For example yesterday I had a big mac combo, which of course is not a very diet thing to do, but, as long as I don't do that everyday, and I work a little bit harder the rest of this week i'll probably be okay.

    We love you in our group, and you help to keep us going too! Just keep working out, and don't stress, you've done so good, and I know you can keep it up!!!

    Yesterday sounds great! I have some days where I do really well, some days not quite as well, and then some days I feel like crap because of one meal I ate. But I know its a slow process. I've also been so frustrated because i've been here a couple of months and I've lost about 1 pound. I used to be on a low carb high protein diet, but now have switched to more healthy, low fat foods. I don't know if my body is still trying to adjust to such an extreme diet change or? I keep trying though. I get discouraged for a bit and then keep working toward my healthy goal. Good luck. Keep us posted so we can encourage you along the way!

    Well, no change this week. Actually I haven't had an change in several weeks. My bf thinks I should talk to the doctor about my thyroid when I go back. I've changed from a low carb high protein diet to actually eating the way you should. I thought my body had to adjust to such an extreme change...but I would have thought my body has had time to adjust. Any thoughts?

    Oh, weight: 219

    Hi everyone,
    Zoepane - we weigh in every Friday morning, I think this is the second weigh-in for the month. We've set goals for ourselves, and are trying to meet those goals by the end of the month. You're more than welcome to join!

    Stacesand - I really don't know what could be going on with you. If you're meeting your daily calories etc... you would think the weight would come off. Maybe you should mention this to your doc?

    As for me - I'm :grumble: up one pound. Not very happy about it . . . but here's to next week!

    In addition, I just wanted to add that I was reading everyone's comments and everyone seems so sad:cry: I just wanted to say, that what we are doing (not this competition) is wonderful, we could just ignore the problem-but instead we are taking a positive approach to fixing our weight gain.

    I just wanted to say that I think that each of you are amazing, and keep up the good work!

    -ON a side note since this is a competition, I thought that I would warn you all that this next week, I'm going to work extra extra hard, so be afraid, be very afraid!:laugh:
