  • At some point can we have a challenge about getting your 5 a day?

    Yes 5 a day ;) was one of my choices .... No sugar for a week - of course you will be able to have fruit and honey - in same week I was thinking to make desert challenge - of course no sugar ;) as twist .... Pack lunch ;)
  • No sugar is a good one!

    I really struggle with sugar so that'd be really challenging for me!

    Packed lunch is a good challenge too, although its only really applicable to certain people.
  • I am starting to lose motivation again. This makes me really sad because I have lost motivation every time I have tried because I have this idea in my head that weight loss should be this magical thing like it is on TV, when logically I know it isn't. And it's hard. It feels like it's so slow and that I'm just not doing it right and that I'll never get anywhere with it :(

    I was feeling like that yesterday. I hate that feeling. I feel like because it is such hard work to stick with it the hard work should pay off FAST!! Today is Monday though. Always a good day to start fresh. Hang in. Slow and steady wins the race!

    If you can push thru those times of motivation loss it does get easier. I struggle with this still. But I have found that now that I have been consistently hitting my workout goals, by metabolism has picked up too, so even if I have a not great day or two, my body still keeps a decent pace. Hang in there!! We are all here for you... Good luck sweetheart!!! :heart:
  • Has our leader given up on us?? :-(

    It happens to all of us! We begin strong and inspired, but when we don't lose weight as quickly as we would like, or when we hit a brick wall for a week or two, we wonder why we are trying so hard. This has always been my problem as well, but I am refusing to give up this time! I gave myself a year...I said, try this for a year and see how far it takes you. I have been overweight since my oldest son was born...and he is 27 now. So, what am I losing by giving up all of those comfort foods and adding more exercise to my day, for just one year? Right now, I am feeling great and I have a ton more energy...and while everyday is not perfect, I refuse to give up.

    So, I challenge you...how much can you accomplish in just one year?

    My motivation board hangs beside my treadmill so I can remember why I am down there running.

    I run in the dimly lit basement with a computer in front of me playing "Criminal Mind" episodes (cant watch these with the kids around). I have also mounted the speakers to the ceiling behind my head so the creaking, whispering and scary music motivates me to run like HELL!! lol. I'm sure it looks funny but being scared out of your mind elevates your heart rate and the show makes the time by go faster - a WIN - WIN situation. :laugh:
