    Motivating swaying a little yesterday and this morning. Also alcohol is the nemesis of dieting! But apart from that I'm ok :)

    Nope. Not struggling at all. I realized that for me, at least, when I start struggling, I've been too restrictive with myself. I've changed the way I approach this - not as a diet, but as a paradigm shift in my relationship to food. It's working, so I plan to just keep going. :-)

    I've been good and not touched alcohol since NYE........yet!!! I did foray into non-alcoholic wine at the weekend. I would not recommend it :/

    I'm struggling. But with SAD and the weather we've been having, I know the reason. I'm just ready for spring and to be able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine!

    I'm maintaining my weight, but not losing anymore, either!

    I am struggling. Starting to get back into things my boys have wrestling 3 nights a week along with other things in our schedule making it hard for us to eat a balanced supper. And even more of an excuse for me not to work out at the end of the night :(

    Oh I wholeheartedly agree. I look out of the window and it's snowing at present - what I would do for a bit of warmth and sun

    Eh...I slipped yesterday. Started my workout DVD and wasn't feeling it. S I turned on Downton Abbey and marched in place, did push-ups, squats, plank, flutter kicks, while watching tv. Probably not he same burn, but only logged 10 minutes of it.

    Today is a new day. Kickboxing tonight, and ill be there!

    I lost 6 lbs. since Jan. 1st. I am happy with that. I'd love to lose another 4 in the second half of the month. Fingers crossed! :smile:

    I have actually been motivated beyond belief. But having quit smoking, I have exchanged a bad habit with a good one, working out. And I have lost 3 pounds since doing this so that is enough motivation. Well, that and fitting back into a shirt that I haven't been able to wear in like 6 months because I ballooned out of it, but it now fits perfectly.

    I actually got back in the swing of things one week from today and although it's only been a week, I think I'm doing pretty darn good! I'm staying focused on a goal, so that keeps me going!

    Oh and btw, I still eat fast food sometimes. Got Chic Fil A's chicken tortilla soup last week and it was SO good...some cheat days are okay imo.

    I have my odd moments of weakness, I just need to get used to it. Its a change for life not a quick fix so I expected a bit of a struggle to change my eating habbits.
