    edited January 7 in Motivation and Support
    Okay.... So I have been M.I.A. for awhile now. The holidays have been torture... I'm scared to even step on the scale again. I know it may be a little cliche but I will be starting again on the first. I'm gonna weigh myself on the 31st and start anew. Please wish me the best and feel free to give me any support possible. :)

      I know its only 2 days away, but why wait? Why not make good food choices today? Why not get a good calorie burn today?

      Seems a lot of issue stems from "I'll try again tomorrow" If tomorrow is never today - you'll always be chasing your tail!!

      Don't wait....START TODAY!

      I used to measure every month but slacked the past 4 or so. I won't start officially measuring myself again till the 1st but I am re-starting Insanity as soon as my HRM gets here, which actually should have been this week but it hasn't even been shipped yet *madface*

      Back to religiously logging food too. I did gain, but not as much as I thought I did, so yay.

      I have been out of action for the past few months after an accident, but feeling better/stronger now and determined to start afresh on the 1st, begin to get fit again and watch what I eat. I know I should really start today, but I am having 2 more days of lazing/resting/recovering/eating, then will start seriously. Good luck x

      Me too! I have been slacking lately with work and preparing for Christmas. I need to get back in the game.

      i'm with you! i think it's fine to set a date to restart... gives you time to get emotionally and physically prepared, throw out the bad snacks in your cupboard, stock up on veggies, renew the gym membership... whatever it takes! :)

      Here, here
      Starting again on the first after spending all of December resting a trapped nerve in my hip which was causing me a lot of problems.
      Been and shopped some goodies and going for a few more tomorrow and enjoying a chinese for New Year.

      Have decided I am weighing in, measuring and taking photo's on 1st and will not do any of these again till 31st.
      Got myself a gorgeous note book to write things down over the month etc so see if I can find a pattern in my eating's so I can work on them in the next month.

      Amen to that - I've just kick-started myself back into it today by going for a run and logging again. This way, when 01/01/13 comes, I can feel that little bit smug that I'm ALREADY sorting my health out, rather than getting on the 'January Hamster Wheel'!:happy:

      Yup, I'm back with it on the first.

      As much as I know I should start TODAY, I figure waiting a day for one final indulgence tomorrow won't make things terribly worse.

      I'm starting anew today........ Today is my tomorrow, No time like the present.... I've been trying to lose weight for almost 20 years. The time is now! Time for me to be greedy. Time for me to be selfish!

      I don't believe in waiting until the new year to start anything. I don't make resolutions. If I see something in myself that I feel needs changed I just do it. Procrastinating only makes it harder.

      I'm with ya. I started yesterday, as I figured there's no time like the present. So yesterday, 12/29 was my "Jan 1st" start.

      Here's to good things happening in 2013!

      Started over Saturday, the holidays were mine to enjoy! Plus, didn't want to be harassed about not eating from my mother:wink: Getting back into working out will be the hard part for me, but determined to get back to it! Now, if I can only keep my family from getting me a Birthday cake in a few days, I'll be good! Best of luck to everyone jumping back into it!

      I think I "started" (and fooled around) since July 2012. I am just trying to do my best every day and since I have been logging in more frequently recently, I've done better. Sadly I gained weight after July and I am still not below my initial weight. BUT - no beating myself up, just doing the best I can every day.

      :) Here's to a fabulous 2013 for all of us! :)
