    Weight loss has always been SO hard for me (not sure if its because of the diabeties or WHY its so hard) but just 3 months ago I was 188... I am now 200 again. Ugh!! Last February I was 217. I just wanna be 170 someday ....

    When I hit that 200 mark (AGAIN) it made me sickkkkkkk!! Ack! Now I just have to sorta start over and this time NEVER gonna see the 200s again!

    We can do this-- TOGETHER!

    It's always hard around the holidays, especially if you have a lot of separate family gatherings. I had 5 (yes, FIVE FULL CHRISTMAS STYLE BUFFETS) in just 2 weeks! And especially knowing how wonderful the cooks are in the family, it's even tougher to resist. I'm such a carb addict. I love me some mashed potatoes and meat pie and stuffing and of course the desserts! I let myself go over the holidays, but the only thing you can do is not give up. Keep up the exercise, get your diet back on track, and pretend the 3 heaping helpings of mashed potatoes never happened! There is plenty of time to make up for a little bit of indulgence. And you know, there is nothing wrong with treating yourself once in a while.

    In fact, during my weight loss this past year, I treated myself to a favorite resto every time I lost 10 lbs. This came out to a delicious splurge every 5 weeks or so. Certainly not over doing it! The rewards helped me through the challenge of getting all the weight off, and I got the added bonus of learning a bit of self-control. Don't ever beat yourself up! Focus on the positive! :)

    I lost 8 lbs one week and gained 9 the next. Am still pretty frustrated too. I know where I'm messing up but is hard to fix as I don't seem to care much lately when I want something. I'm just gonna keep on plugging along and hope that things improve. Got back to the gym today for a good workout. Meeting with a wellness counselor tomorrow to begin strength training. We know what we need to do but it is way harder trying to do it. Hang in there...you are not alone.

    Yup I did it to myself again this year - ten lbs. up again. No use crying over spilt milk, we know what to do to take that weight back off. Let's do it!!!! We're human.

    I gained ten pounds of holiday bloat, but it's been coming off pretty steadily, about .5 pound per day. I lost 1.5 pounds overnight last night, so I'm hoping that's the end of this nonsense. I had just gotten to 310, the last "decade" on my way to getting under 300, so I was tiiiiiiiiiicked when the scale said 320. I didn't freak out since I knew I hadn't actually gained ten pounds, but I was still really mad to see 320 after being so close to 309, knowing I'd have to get through the teens all over again. :explode: :grumble:

    I know how you feel. Before the holidays I got down to 167, now as of Jan. 1st I'm at 176 again. The holidays are over so just focus on weight loss now. You got down before, you can do it again. Good luck to you.

    *Update:
    Hey guys! Weighed this morning, instead of 166-167 I was 163! :bigsmile: :drinker:

    Instead of around 8 pounds gained this'd only be about about 5. Although, I hope when I weigh myself Saturday, I hope I'm either 160 or back to the 150's :devil:

    But I seriously couldn't do it without you guys. If I hadn't have come here, I'd probably not be trying at all. :blushing:

    :heart: :heart: :heart:
    Keep on Going!
