Back on the wagon today for me too! I woke up this morning with the positive attitude I feel I have had for a long time! I've been away from MFP for about 7 months now and would love some new friends so we can keep each other motivated! Feel free to add me!0

I did pretty well up until Christmas Eve.. then It went downhill for a few days. I ended up gaining 2.0 lbs since Sunday! Not cool. lol! I'm completely back on track today! NO MORE HOLIDAY TREATS (in crazy, obsessive amounts anyways lol.. I'm not here to completely deprive myself).0

I've never really been a fan of the "New Years Resolution." I've always thought that if it was important enough, you would always start right away and not waste time waiting for a specific day. There is no better time than right now to start working towards your goals, whether you are getting back on the wagon or just getting started!0

I started back up again yesterday, even with honest reporting. No time like the present, eh?0

me too!!! Back on track, no more excuses, I have control...lets do this!!! Happy and healthy 2013!!!!!0

Right, after what has basically been a month of being useless at diet and exercise I've given myself a strict talking to and have decided that today is the day to get a grip again.
I've been food shopping for plenty of fruit and vegetables, put what is left of the Xmas goodies in a carrier bag, taped it closed and put it in the attic out of sight and have just got back from a 5k run.
I really don't want all my hard work undone by a silly few weeks that included Xmas, my birthday, the dog being really ill and general naughtiness.
So its back to 1200 cals a day, dog walking for an hour a day (he's better now) and some form of exercise each day (swimming, running, Shred) from now until I go back to work on Jan 7th.
Then I'll be more realistic about exercise and go back to 3 or 4 times a week in addition to the dog walking.
Anyone else not waiting for the New Year?
Good on you. I fell off the wagon Oct - Dec but decided a day before my birthday that there is no point in waiting til New Year when I can start now. I left myself indulge on xmas and boxing day but now I'm back too it and hoping for a loss or at least to maintain when I weigh tomoro. I like your attitude and positivity so feel free to add me if you wish. Same to anyone else.0 -
This post makes me not want to wait until Jan 1. I have had a terrrrible 2 weeks and I just need to stop being lazy!!! Need to get myself back on track.0

Just a quick update - after a good day eating 1280 cals and doing a 5k run and a 60 min walk with the dog I woke up feeling less bloated and so had another sneaky weigh in - and I'm down 1lb!
I know its only water weight after the sodium laden rubbish I've been eating but its encouragement to carry on.:happy: :happy:
Hope others are feeling a bit less "swollen" today too0 -
I started the day after christmas, no excuses for me.0

That's what I said!! Let's do it
I love your plan, very organized!0 -
Yay Peep! We have all gotten off to a good start and will be hitting January 1st motivated and on the right foot!!! I'm off to take my overly-fluffy dog for a morning walk. Funny ... I guess pets really do end up like their owners. Guess that means she's going to lose some weight too. :laugh:
Y'all have an awesome day.0 -
Yes, today is the day. I feel so depressed after being so good for 4 years....so much weight lost....so much health gained....felt so good until I fell completely off the wagon 3 weeks ago. This is the first holdiay I have allowed myself to slack and while it all felt good going down, I gained back 10 hard lost pounds, quit exercising and can't seem to get my mojo back. I feel like crap and feel depressed (not clinically depressed and not cause I hate myself for slacking but because bad health habits make you feel like crap)....YET...knowing this....I can't seem to get back on track...it's all about committment...let that begin TODAY!!!0
