Welcome, Klb1002! I understand you about motivation. One thing that I try is to not think about all the workouts I'm going to have to do, I like to think, "Just for today". It helps! Take it one step at a time!0

Evening ladies!
First I'd like to say a big hello and welcome to the new challengers and that you are going to love it here everyone is really supportive and Yana is great to follow.
OK I'm going to tell you where I am at for the ladies who are not on my friends list.
Basically I have let myself go, gained 3lbs and eating what I want when I wanted because I got myself into a bit of a rut and was finding it very hard to get out but today I got my mojo back and completed my diary and exercised for the first time in over a week.
I have decided to kick start myself back onto my keto plan by doing a "fat fast" for 3-4 days so my calories will be as low as 1000 per day and fats will make up 80-90% of my intake, I've heard good things about this so fingers crossed it will do me good too.
I am a compulsive weigher, I do it several times a day so I'm going to take a break from it for a little while, I'll still post my weekly update if there is a significant loss otherwise I will leave it as is.
So goals for this week and next:
1) Exercise at least 5x a week.
2) Keep to the fat fast and low carb plan after.
3) No weekend binge not even on my birthday weekend.
4) Try at least 1 low carb recipe.
Looking forward to moving forward with you great ladies.
Hey there Serene, I say put it all behind you !!!! I have learned the hard way that it's all in our minds, your mind is fixed for sucess and that's that ! No matter how many times we fall and get up, WE Keep it moving Sis ! I look forward to hearing your results, nice goals btw
I totally agree with this! 0 -
I catched the Flu -_- ugh so ill be out of it for a few days..guess ill just be restarting week 2 of insanity on Monday. I really hope this flu will be gone by then!0

If you feel you may be taking on water you should leave it until after "ladies time"has passed although I like seeing the fluctuations this can cause but if you feel it may set you back mentally don't do it.Ladies, not sure if I should WI this Sunday, one I should start my "Ladies Day" on Sunday, well, that's if my husband hasn't knocked me up this cycle lol I hate to do it, with all that extra fluid...
I dunno, should I pass this week ? Might help me mentally as well, ya'll know I had a tough week...
You know Serene, you might be right, Ima wait and see what happens on Sunday, it might wait and come later in the day, so if I hurryin up in the morning, I should be fine, either way, if it's higher or the same, I will have a nice loss next week ! lol But then again, if it doesn't come at all - Mission accomplished !
Omigosh, you could have a little Nette on board! I'm excited for your weight loss journey, but I just love baby stories! lol! Good luck! 0 -

Oh, no! Feel better soon. The flu is no joke! Take care and get LOTS of rest!0 -
This week I've been lazy about getting up early, (going to bed too late), and therefore not waking up to workout. I then didn't workout when I got home, so my workouts this week sucked. I'll be back on track this evening. My eating has been pretty good. I'll be back on track this evening.
Have a good weekend and great weigh ins for those who weight in Saturday and Sunday.0 -
Sounds just like me! Hopefully we'll keep each other motivated, let;s go!0

Hello Ladies,
I would love to join this challenge.
I have issues with staying motivated to workout. I figured I needed to join a group to receive support and this seems like a great one for me. I know everything that I need to do, but doing it is the issue. I can get lazy and it's a bad habit to have.
I have started working out this week (AGAIN!) and so far, so good! I can't keep complaining about the weight without taking action, so here I am!!
SW: 178
CW:176.5
GW: 156
My other goals are:
1. Stay consistent with my workouts
2. Don't eat when I am bored/binge eat
3. Watch my portions
Welcome !!! I would suggest that you find a form of fitness that you really like and is fun for you today, my fav thing to do is Pilates, it's my go-to, find something fun, like dancing or something like that, you'll find out that you can't stop doing it and it will become contagious ! I also set weekly fitness goals, and taking week by week seems more manageable you know, you'll do great !
I really like Cardio X and Kempo X from the P90X routine, so maybe I will incorporate those more into my routine. I also like Turbo Jam and the strength training from P90X. I think I might throw in a little dancing in there too. Thanks for the tips.0 -

Thanks for the welcome!! I will definitely do the "Just for today" and take baby steps. It's one day at a time!
Today I am tired, but I will go home and work out before I do anything!0 -
