in Motivation and Support
I don't know what happened. Life, I suppose. Summer was too hot, then school started and we were too busy. Work is awful, then TOM. Excuses, excuses. They seemed very real at the time but now almost 2 months have gone by with no food tracking and no exercise.

I think I just need some support because I feel alone and I don't want to complain and bring everyone else down. I am not beating myself up. I'm just not doing anything! HELP... PLEASE!

    well start again NOW. 2 months is better than 2 yrs, maybe the break you gave yourself will jumpstart your weightloss motivation again. You lost before, so you will lose again :)

    Excuses, Excuses, Excuses!!! That's what they are!!! I am here to give you your kick in *kitten*

    Time to start moving you can join the September "Move It" challenge...3 goals to choose from

    1) 360 minutes of moving each week
    2) 2500 calories burned
    3) lose 1/2 to 1" off your waist or abd

    Now, make time for yourself....walk your lunches, tell the kids "No, I am working out for 30 minutes and then I will help you", run errands on a bilke, blades or walk....I don't want to hear excuses...start moving

    Beware, when you are working out is where they will ask you do stuff...I have gotten very good at saying "No, you have a father. Go ask him" or "Talk to me when I am done working out".

    I, also, have restarted the shred series...the 30 day shred is literally 27 minutes end to end....can you find 27 minutes somewhere???

    BTW, they are really cute!!!

    Don't worry your not the only one. I've gone almost 3 months without logging my food. I've tried to maintain portion control & make healthy choices but it's hard when you're constantly on the go & fast food is the easiest thing to pick up. It's been hard for me to make the time to actually cook or make my lunch for work and I didn't want to log my calories cuz I knew I was going way over my cal intake & I knew it would make me feel bad. But it's time to stop feeling guilty & do something about it. I just started logging in again yesterday. You've already lost 10 lbs. No need to quit now. Get back in there....... It will make you feel better & so will exercising. You have to do it for you.

    Eboni, dear, am so there with you. With the kids going back to school, with works, hubby, soccer practice, there are tons of excuses. For the past month I have been slacking. Not working out like I used to, making bad food choices most of the time. I went from weigh in every wk to every 2wks and now every 3wks because I dnt want to see the damage on the scale. I really need some help too and I hope we will push each other along
