in Motivation and Support
I must admit for awhile I was doing really well I was down to 124lbs from a175 then the holidays. I cheated lots now I am paying for it. I am back to 129. I started running again more frequently but need some more motivation. More motivation than my pants feeling tighter.

Any suggestions? For the grazing cow? :sad:

    UHHHH 124 to 129 is not really much to stress about. Some people on here have hundreds to lose.

    Buckle down and do what you need to do....watch what you eat for a few weeks and you'll be ok. Be grateful....for others it will take years to get to where you are.

    Do what you gotta do that you did in the first place. You can do do it.:flowerforyou:

    Be kind to yourself.:heart: ..for really we only have ourselves.... if we love ourselves into making healthy decisions, they seem to stick!!:flowerforyou:

    What would you say to a friend? would you use the same words you use to describe yourself?:huh: :noway: :cry: hopefully not.

    you're worth so much...pick yourself back up and start the journey from this moment, don't look back and if you chose to look back, gather a lesson from it:drinker: :wink:

    I'm right there with ya...5 pounds over the holidays! But, I came home and got right down to business now I am back down to my pre-holiday weight! Drink your water, keep up the running...your body did it once before and it will do it again as long as you give it the right tools to succeed. Good Luck!! You can do it!

    ~p.s., 175 down to 124!! That is about what my goal is so you are my inspiration! Great job!

    Maybe put a photo of yourself before all the weight loss - when you were 175 - on your fridge as a reminder of how hard you worked to get all the way down to 124 (great job, by the way). That should help keep you on track till you lose those five pounds again.

    the real bad news is grazing is the way to eat, although cows eat grass and weeds.
    Have you been eating grass maybe smoking weed. :ohwell:
    it's the new year and you have a few months till summer and you'll be ready for the mico bikini:devil:

    thanks everyone. I really need to get back on track. Yes I am very thankful for the loss I have had. With that original gain I got 3 beautiful children from it.

    Need to be more focused.
