I need some friends...SUPPORT PLEASE!!!!

Options
I'm feeling very discouraged this week. I just posted a blog about hating scales. I'm about to throw the damn thing out!!! I was thinking about throwing my measuring tape out too.

I'm still new at this and it would be awesome if I could find some people to help support me and I can also encourage others as well!

I know I need to keep my head up and stay motivated...it's just so hard to do it.

Help please!!!!

    you should be my buddy, you sound like me on certain days. but on most days I'm pretty positive. don't catch me around the time of the month though!!! lol

    I'll say what you'll hear a lot. don't weigh too often. concentrate on what you are eating and let your focus be on calories in and burned. give it time. it really will work!

    Hi there, I know it can be hardwork but the success at the end of the tunnel is worth the frustration. I HATE WATER but I am drinking 10 cups a day and flushing this out. I will support you because I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!! You are going to love yourself later. If I can do it I know you can!! I am so out of shape.

    relax sister... It takes time and discipline to acheive a goal. BABY STEPS. I lost the weight and gained it so I know how you feel. I am loosing a pound to a half pound a week now and small progress is better than no progress. But I have to work out like a mad woman and eat healthy most days of the week.

    Hey! I'm here whenever you need me! Some days are definitely harder than others! Remember though that the tortoise, not the hare, won the race! It may be a slow process, but you don't even know how your body really is feeling inside! What are you doing for exercise? How is your nutrition? Message me! :) I can be your personal cheerleader!!

    You are doing exactly the right thing for yourself and doing the right thing is always a challenge! Stay the course, take the drawbacks just as well as you take the successes and understand that it is small steps not giant leaps! You can do this!!!
