in Motivation and Support
I need motivation to work out and follow my food plan routine but since I just have a few pounds to lose I always think"oh well it won't change anything" before eating my next chocolate bar. I need motivation and I am looking for friends here who also work hard to reach their goals!! I also need a kick in the butt to work out at home every morning!

    This is my problem as well - looking to hit around 18-20lbs working out at home before/after work plus three young kids. Gym is not an option, trying simple excercises I can do at home and trying to keep extra snacks and portion sizes under control. My biggest problem though is my love of wine- empty calories...

    I am in this boat. I actually GAINED 5 lbs since the start of the year. NOT what I had in mind. I'm at my post pregnancy weight again-except that was 4 years ago! Time for me to get serious about the "it's just one bit of chocolate" or wine or whatever. Any support will help and I will definitely keep the encouragement coming for you all!
    My new thing is that I have to make some real changes to actually see change. For me, this means no alcohol during the week and no mindless eating of sweets. That's all I got for now. You?

    I'm in the same boat! I fall into the "I'll start tomorrow" trap every day. I got on the scale this morning for the first time in six months and did not like what I saw. So, I'm starting today! Add me or I'll add you if you need motivation.

    Add me! I was 4 pounds from goal and just let stress get the best of me! It is a marathon not a sprint, so after a massive binge today.... I am back. Normally I would keep on eating crap the rest of the day.... but I am not going to let it get the best of me!

    I'm a 65 yo woman, who needs to lose about 15 lbs, and noticed i'm starting to gain a lot easier. I keep hearing count calories to lose, which is true but exercise helps and works off calories. My husband and I go to the gym after eating, so we know how many calories we need to burn. lol. Also for people who can't go to the gym, a few years ago when I needed to lose weight, I got a wii-fit, which is fantastic and fun to do. doesn't cost that much and the kids would enjoy it too. make it a family affair. You won't be alone that way. Lots of stuff on it, tennis, running, aerobics, etc. I'm watching my fat, sodium and sugar intake also. Fat harder to burn off. Use your my fitness food and exercise program faithfully. If you fall off once in awhile, pick yourself up and start over. It's hard for us people who have really good taste buds, so treat yourself once in awhile and cut back somewhere else or do extra exercise. Good luck and keep smiling. ps. if you do get wii-fit. watch the tennis.( I sprained my wrist when I went for a ball and hit my wrist on the tv set). lol good luck

    As of today I need to lose 11lbs.
    I kill it on my full week off getting to the gym everyday but back on shift is 14 hour days. Doesn't leave a lot left for exercising.
    I think its the stalls I find the most discouraging.

    Same thing here, I have 3 kids and gym is not an option! I have been trying to get up at 5:30 in the am to workout, there are tons of videos on you tube but very hard to get motivated when everyone is still sleeping and Im still in my pj lol!! I found a 5min zumba video that i like, i found that it gets me started and then Im in the mood to work out after. My biggest problem is sugar!!!!!

    Hi, there! This is my first day using the community board. I used the app a while back and then stopped for whatever reason. I am always up and down the same 10-15 lbs my whole life. I am not sure how the "adding" goes, but hopefully it's pretty easy to figure out and I can join this group.
