NSV and looking for some more motivation!

ampjorgensen · June 2011

This weekend my family went camping, not me and the kids, but we went out and visited we had a small family get together to celebrate june birthdays as well. I slipped on my pre-pregnancy jeans and a L (no X involved haha) shirt) and went. I got so many ooos and ahhs it was amazing I saw these people in April about 2 weeks after I started MFP but almost 30 pounds less I look way better and skinnier. I was the topic of discussion for hours.

Not only this incident happened though. Friday my husbands family came and they had seen me in March before MFP and they were insanely surprised. They asked me what i was doing to lose the weight and their comments about me having an eating disorder didn't even bug me haha i simply said No I decided there was no excuse for me to be obese (as they are quite overweight and always make excuses) i finally stopped making excuses and realized that me being fat is a choice. The past week I Really fell off the bandwagon of weight loss and trying to meet my goal because i am comfortable but this little push was just what i needed to get back on the bandwagon.

ANY success stories!? How many times did you fall off the bandwagon? How long did you fall off?

I think you are courageous for taking a stand for yourself! Best wishes on your journey and keep it up :-)

I've fallen off many times, but this time I am sticking with it, for the most part. I do stumble, but it's all about keeping with it and making sure you pick yourself back up. I keep telling myself that it's now or never and I AM going to do it this time.
