in Getting Started
ive gotten so lazy with this website and exerciseing. but i must have not been eating much (esp this past thanksgiving) because i step on the scale to see how much damage ive done to myself over the past few (well more than few) months. and the verdict is...i havent gained a thing. i was happy about not gaining. but it was bitter sweet because i thought of the weight that i could have lost by now, if i had stayed on track. *sighs* heres to starting over...looking for friends with motivation and dedication and we hold each other accounable..the nice way. add me and we can continue this journey together.

    Emma, do not beat yourself. We all have days when we slack off. I have started over several times and just recently December 1, 2013. This time I am determine and my mind is made up that I am going to get the job done this time. I have 81 lbs to lose and I am not going to look back since I am back on track now. Feel free to add me and we can hold each other accountable .

    You're not really starting over since you didn't gain anything back. Nice job maintaining! Sounds like you just have a bit of "tweaking" to do to get back into losing. Very nice :wink:

    Hi, I am new here but I can tell you I have had my share in lazy months. It is really hard.. I a lot of the time wish that someone could just do it for me and I could take the credit. But its the doing and the earning thats the best part of weight loss. I lost 120lbs and I am very young. I have grown up in a very obese family where food isn't something you say no to. Due to some failures and hardships I sadly ate my feelings instead of dealing with them like I should have. Thankfully I haven't gained all the weight back but I have gained quite a bit back. One thing I always keep in mind is that whenever we fall short of our goals and self-expectations its best to say we took a detour and we will be back on the road to to our destination. There is no use in punishing ourselves for taking the wrong road-- that won't do anything. All we have to do is recognize what needs to be done and get doing it even if its only a half butt try for now. So anyways I am totally looking for motivation too! I love to exercise once I am doing it but I have a hard HARD time getting myself to the gym. So my starting weight was originally 320lbs and I had gotten to 173lbs and thats when I kept thinking I looked just the same as I did when I was at 320lbs. PLEASE DON'T DO THAT--- NOBODY DO THAT. Because I had such a bad self image It the biggest factor into my "detour" of my weight loss journey. The best thing that I did when I was losing the most is telling myself whether it was true or not. "oh I look thinner today" or "I can run faster because I am lighter". Postivity is the best modivator. I need to remember that more than anything and that goes for anyone else who wants to use that as well. That will probably be my main focus for this week. I am trying to just keep my goals week by week and not consider my destination yet.

    Stop logging for a few days now, easy to get into old, bad habits. Back on track tomorrow. Hopefully by Wednesday the scale won't show a gain. Just got lazy I guess. :frown:

    I am in the same boat and I really need motivation to get going.. I do an amazing job at maintaining but can't get over that hill to start losing weight.

    I'm very weak when it comes to 'food' in general. Need to find that spark to get me going.

    Well, Here's to starting over. My first goal is hitting the gym for a minimum of 12x in December/3x week.
