Starting again

So tomorrow it's the 1st October AND a Monday. It the perfect time to start afresh. I'm hoping that by creating this thread, I can not only receive support (which will be greatly appreciated) but use it to update and record my progress. I'm thinking that if I know I have to post here everyday, I'll be more motivated to stick to my plan.

If anyone wants to join me in this 'new start'. Please feel free to post :)

Good luck everyone!

    Hi Bliss, congratulations!

    A week ago I was in your place, actually I was there for a few weeks but I decided to not get back to focusing on eating right until after a vacation that had been scheduled for months. It was the right decision I think, but I would have been glad to begin in the beginning of September, rather than the end. Today is my 7th day, it's been a good first week with the really high losses that can be written off to water loss. I'm looking forward to next week which will be the beginning of actually losing fat.

    I hope your first week goes well.
  • I've just joined an October challenge, its a team thing so thats ample motivation for me not to give up! Good idea posting everyday, I'll check in how you're going :happy:

    I'm in the same place as you....and I'm staring back tomorrow with my exercise program! Since vacation in July, I've been hit and miss. I'm coming back to the message boards because it's always been my biggest motivation! Good luck!

    I've lost track of how many times I've been there...in fact, yesterday was MY first day back AGAIN!! Getting harder and harder the older I get, too. Had hysterectomy 6 months ago and my body has done some pretty irrational things....my body- not ME- lol So here's to all of us who at the very least, haven't completely given up yet- right????
  • Yea I'm starting fresh tomorrow. Today I just want to eat everyhting insight, I've had ground flaxseed, oranges, pistachios and egg whites, tons of coffee with coconut milk. I'm like a bottomless pit !!!! I start 30 dys shred tomorrow as well. I'm gonna lose 30lbs gosh darn it. Good luck to you

  • I know the feeling, I was in your place last week, and we have roughly the same amount of weight to lose. You can do it, just take it day by day week by week. Set yourself little mini goals to keep yourself motivated.
    Feel free to add me :)

    -You need to go back and see your doctor. Now.-

    You are 97 lbs and want to lose 7? You could probably cut off an arm to do it but I wouldn't. 90 lbs might be a good weight for someone in elementary school. Please go back to see your doctor and/or therapist.

    I agree. Unless you are about 4' 3" tall 70 lbs is extremely unhealthy.

    I just saw this. What is your goal and why? How tall are you? You would have to be pretty darn short to have 90 lbs be within a healthy weight range. I'm thinking a doctor visit would be wise as well.
