Actually I've blown the wagon up..I was doing tremendous up until about 2 weeks before Hurricane Sandy. Not sure why but after that I completely stopped working out and started eating and drinking what I wanted when I wanted. Needless to say in this short amount of time I have sabotaged all the hard work I had put in. So today I am starting over. A bit bigger than I was 2 months ago, but very determined to complete this journey. My goal is 30 pounds to lose. It may be more or less but I know i definitley need to lose at least 20.. So wish me luck as I again set out on this journey to transform my body through healthier eating and exercise.

And yes i know its harder around the holidays but I'm determined to finish this.

    Good Luck! You can do it.

    I can totally relate to fallen off the wagon. I am starting over again today. For the holidays, my goal is more to maintain and then I will work hard in the new year.

    You've got this!!

    I am in the same boat as I just had a week of vacation, only went to the gym 2x and ate dessert everyday... now I just feel gross.

    I am going to use the gross feeling as motivation NOT to do it again over the holidays... it's not really worth over indulging for me.

    Best of luck & add me if you want =)

    Fall off the wagon 9 times, get back on 10.

    Good luck, keep your motivation levels high and enjoy what you're doing, the weight will fly off.

    I can feel your pain! I fall off of the wagon quite frequently. I hate myself for doing it when I step back on the scale but I figure as long as I weigh less at the end of this year than I did last then I'm doing ok. Hang in there!

    I fell off the wagon three months ago and gained back all the weight I lost! All we can do is get right back on the wagon.

    It's ok to fall off the wagon, as long as you climb back on and hang on.

    I wasn't quite on the wagon but I totally fell of during Hurricane Sandy as well! I don't know what happened but the minute I was able to leave my house after like four days stuck inside, I went crazy! Plus we had all this extra Halloween candy sitting around since no one could trick or treat. I just started to get back on track for about two weeks now and I have lost six pounds. I have about 19 to go to get to my goal weight. It can be done during the holidays! At least so far! lol Good luck!
