in Motivation and Support
I lost 125 Pounds! I've gained 50 back and I'm scared of gaining it all back if I continue on this self destructive path. I need people to help motivate and that I can motivate! That we can go through this journey together and hold each other accountable!

    Hi Zoe, I know the feeling well. Been back and forth for years. Tired of it. Think of it as LiFe change, not short term!

    Ooh definitely! I started losing weight as a lifestyle change! I had a heart attack when I was 38. I quit smoking and lost all that weight. So, now I am having a hard time getting back in the groove of eating right and working out. I lost my workout partner in the divorce of my brother in law and his wife.

    You can add me if you'd like an extra support buddy as I need extra support myself. Currently trying to dig myself out of my distructive hole.

    Ok , I'm in. I too get REALLY discouraged especially losing a few lbs then when I hit 10 lbs. I feel like I have to "treat" myself and start slacking. Gain it right back. I am tired of the same thing over and over. I need to get rid of 80 to 90 lbs now. HELP! I have NEVER been this heavy! Guess I want it to instantly come off.

    I'm in too. Would you ladies like to start a small group? I so often see groups that I would like to join for motivation but they have dozens if not 100's of members. I would like to start a small (5 members or so) group so we can really get to know one another, encourage each other, send messages and celebrate successes. Let me know if any of you want to do it. FYI I am 43 yo, need to lose about 10 lbs maybe 15 but more than that I need to get in a healthy lifestyle and STAY there.

    Hi Zoe. I've been up and down the scales several times as well. I'm willing to stick to it with you. Feel free to add me and give me a kick when I need it.

    Zoe, this happens to me usually about 3 months into weight loss. I'm looking good and close to goal. Then that evil little voice in my head starts in telling me that I can eat just like I used to. I'm there right now,and, I'm determined to quiet that devil

    Don't worry about it. You've lost 75 on average. Besides, although refeeding day or reverse dieting doesn't require gaining weight much, consider your metabolism boosted. When you try to lose weight now, it will be just as easy as it was when you were 75 pounds heavier.

    Take a moment out of each day to remind yourself that you deserve to be healthy... Strap on your shoes and celebrate ( run, walk, lift, Zumba whatever makes you feel good)... You have done fabulously... Even with the back slide... Just refocus and consistently make small changes in your life... Everything worthwhile takes time and care... You can so do this
