I was doing so well until November- I lost 26 pounds and I was dropping inches every week.... And then I hurt my ankle in November, and haven't done anything since... I keep logging back in for a few days, and then get depressed and give up. I REALLY need people to be on my *kitten* and motivate me. I need to be held accountable until I get into the swing of things again.

    feel free to add me. I log in every day and record everything.

    What did you do to your ankle. and are you using that as an excuse to give up. cause there is always swimming.

    No- it wasn't an excuse. It went out on me, I couldn't put any weight on it for days, was very painful for nearly a month, and sore for a long time after. It still hurts when I move it certain ways, but I can't go to the doctor (no money or insurance) so I've been slowly walking and doing stuff to build it up.

    I love swimming, and had thought I could do that, until I figured out that my ankle goes out when its flexed like you would move it when swimming. I'm stuck with walking, and a modified version of the bootcamp dvd I have seems to work without hurting me. I need to work on eating properly, walking and building up my strength while I take some weight off of this. But my motivation totally tanked. I fell off the wagon, and it is hard starting up again!!!
