kandyjo

porterbaby38 (weeks 1) and dvvork (week 2) .... CONGRATULATIONS!!! Your hard work is really paying off and you guys are such an encouragement to the rest of us!!!! Way to go! :drinker:

sjmay, life gets crazy sometime.... We all understand I hope that you have been able to take care of yourself! :drinker:

porterbaby38

i know there is days when i put myself down. i think of negative things alot and i just want to eat and eat, then i look at myself in the mirror or i talk to my sister on the phone. i've worked really hard over a year,i think i'm looking pretty good and i'm not going to sabatoge my weight lose anymore. i have a weight lose goal to reach to be healthy and be strong and confidence about myself. so the challenge is no matter what in life upsets us or we have those ugh terrible days. just look at what you have accomplished so far for your weight loss journey and don't let the terrible things or thoughts make your jorney go down hill. we just have to climb back on the wagon.because when i think of terrible things or negative thoughts i start crying. so i said no more. i hope you ladies like this challenge, because this is how i've been feeling since i've been in texas. good luck on your weight loss journey everyone.

Congrats ladies, great job!

Awesome challenge porterbaby. It's tough, and I know how you feel

kandyjo

porterbaby, great challenge!!! Overcoming our doubts and negativity is one of the biggest obstacles that we have.... I think you challenge is GREAT!!
Good for you for realizing this and pushing yourself on to a better you! :drinker:

Naokoheart

Thats a great challenge!

nolachick

Awesome challenge porterbaby! Perhaps you should also start keeping a little journal and everyday write atleast one thing that you are proud of. Or come post it on here, we can all share something that made us proud.

For example, I'm proud of myself for getting my workout in yesterday even tho I got home super late after work and was really tired. I threw some clothes in the laundry and my DVD to play and worked out while I waited for my clothes to be done. It was only a 20minute workout but after not working out for 10 days, its a much needed start!

sjmay

porterbaby38 - I think that's an excellent challenge!! And I think that it should continue forever!:flowerforyou:

Naokoheart - welcome back

nolachick - I agree with you. I think that it would be great for us to post on her something that we are proud of each day (or whenever you get a chance). I think that it is a wonderful source of encourgement! :happy:

For myself, I'm proud that although life has been busy, and I almost threw the weight loss ideas out the window (just didn't feel I had time for myself), I have remembered that the only way to live the fullest life is to take care of me first. So, I'm back in the game - the only way that I can change is if I do it!

kandyjo: great job on your two lbs. loss.
there is something i'm proud on this weight loss journey is i've never been in a size 8's and can also fit into a size 6 and i've never been in those sizes before.so everyone good luck on your weight loss and what makes you proud during or while your on this weight loss journey. i think we all should just pat ourselves on the back or just look ourselves in the mirror and smile big at yourselves.

nolachick

Pounds lost: -.4

I've been so stressed out I can't believe I lost anything! I had to do a 45 minute presentation in one of my classes, and I'm probably the most shy person I know when it comes to talking in front of a class. I absolutely HATE it. But, thank goodness that's over with. It was always on my mind and I've been dreading it since the semester started! lol
I'm determined to make it to 175 by the start of summer!! :drinker: What are yall's goals for then?

Oh, and good luck on the weigh ins!

porterbaby38

starting weight:226lbs.
last week:180.4lbs.
this week:177.4lbs.
bb: 185.6lbs.
goal: 126.0lbs.
good luck everyone.

porterbaby38

this weeks challenge,i know we've had this one before from somebody else. no matter how our day is, we need to try to get in at least 30 to 35 min. of exercise of some sort. good luck. plus i'm proud of myself for what for getting in some kind of workout yesterday, since i'm getting ready to start TOM. what is everyone else is proud of, of what they have accomplished so far? good luck ladies.

nolachick

Great Job porterbaby!

I'm proud for getting my workout in yesterday! I felt great after.

And I think that's a great challenge it really helps when you think about it that way - do something anything everyday for atleast 30 mins!

savvystephy

Great job porter baby! Sorry I didn't weigh in this week - I was out of town. I will weigh in next week, but just don't count me for the percentage challenge.

sjmay

I think that's a great challenge! Getting exercise is something that I really need to work on now. It used to be a mjor part of my routine, and somehow at Christmas I lost that, and I'm having trouble getting back into it. It's a beautiful day today (not too cold) so maybe I will go for a walk or run outside tonight so I can also get some fresh air. If I do this, I will be proud of myself for that today.

Lisa0711

That's a great challenge! Today I wasn't going to exercise, but then I talked myself into it. So I feel much better for that. But here lately, even though I have been losing weight... I haven't got into the swing of things again. I don't know what's wrong with me! I keep eating junk and my workouts have slacked so much. I really want to reach my goal by summer. I really really do!! You wouldn't say so if you saw the way I've been eating lately, though. I think part of it is so much stress from school. I'm taking more classes now than I ever have before at one time. How do yall cope with stress and stay on track? I guess I've been in denial about my bad habits coming back.. but I'm hoping someone will have some advice that will click?

Sorry to be a downer.. but when I need help there's no better place than to come to you guys for support! Thanks in advance for anything you might be able to say to help me... I need it.

Hi bikini babes! I was with you guys at the beginning but fell off the wagon around the holidays (with mfp AND with my weight loss goal.) Could I rejoin you guys? I still have that bikini body in mind for this summer!

I don't really have any tips (sorry!) but I can definitely say that I am in the same boat as you are. I've been eating junk as well and I never exercise anymore. Tonight I did go for a jog/walk after work. I was so tired and really didn't want to, but I made myself, and I felt so much better! I think that when you start to see the pounds come off, you think that you have it under control, and it's easy to fall off the wagon. Just my opinion.

Try and stay determined. I think that it is all in the mind set that you put forward. I know that you are not the only one in this boat, and hopefully, together, we can get us moving!

I think today something else that helped me was in was sunny and semi warm out. I've been having the winter blues where all I want to do is hibernate (stay inside and eat!). But today when the weather was so nice, it reminded me that summer is right around the corner, and I want to feel good and enjoy the warm weather in a nice bathing suit (and just not being paranoid about showing my legs)

I don't know if I helped at all, but I hope I did. Together, we can do this!!!:flowerforyou:
