Well the last 2 weeks I have struggled with my motivation a little. Not that I don't really want to do this but just because I felt like I was treading water. Well today I started off by stepping on the scale and it showed 3 lbs lighter. Terrific start for the day.

Well that was good but when I picked up my son after school I had another mother ask me what I have been doing. She said that I seem to be melting since school started. I was so excited I nearly jumped up and down.

I know it is really hard to start and keep the motivation going. But thanks to all of you and this site. I am finally getting somewhere. If your feeling like you are at that point of giving up. Don't. Refocus and look at what you have done up till then. Then make a special effort to find something that makes you feel good.

    So right Arothermel ! Congrats to you Eve23, all that hard work is paying off. I finally found an exercise partner. We go walking everyday and now what was a chore is fun and takes no time at all : ) I know it will be easier with someone who wants to lose as much as I do. So happy for you.

    Congrats Eve!!

    It certainly is a great moivation when others see your progress and mention it.
    Hubby said my booty looked tighter and I believed him this time b/c when he gave it a little smack (I know... TMI) it didn't jiggle as much as it used to lol.

    I'm Puerto Rican we're known for our tushies and it's kinda hard to slim it down.. well, for me atleast.
    I did not workout at all today and did not go over my 1200 calories.... this is the 1st time!
    I was shocked b/c I woke up with such an appetite.

    Yeah Eve !!!
    Keep it up - next thing you know it's another 3 lbs and then another 3 lbs. Soon all those other moms are going to want to know what your "secret" is... and you can lead them right here. : )

    My little Evie!

    You really are getting thinner! I know it's tough with your situation, and I am SO PROUD OF YOU ! !

    I had to refocus a bit today, too.

    I am so happy for you. Stay with us, you are always a sweet presence here on these message boards.
