Week 2 May
Previous Weight: 228.2
Current Weight: 225
Heading in the right direction. I have not quite gotten back into my workout routine, but I'm trying to get back on track with eating. That is what I'm going to focus on this week. Focusing on meal prepping and CICO.
I really don't like not being able to bookmark
Firstly, great loss this week, Kay!! I love your well thought out approach. You've been struggling lately, so instead of trying to get it back together all at once, you are just going to focus on one aspect... the food. Which, if you are trying to lose weight, is the most important thing to focus on. You know what they say...you can't out work a bad diet!!0 -

I am constantly one step forward, 2 steps back. I haven't felt so awful about my weight since right after I had my now 3 year old. I can't seem to find the motivation to stick with it even though I start off every day with good intentions. I want to do better, I really do.
You are still here, Amie! (I hope that's right?) That says a lot!! As long as you haven't given up completely, success is still possible!! Everyone who is overweight wants to lose weight, so it needs to be more than just the desire. You have the "heart", but the "head" also has to be there, telling you to make good good food choices and to move more. I know when I go through this, somewhere in my subconscious I feel it is going to be too hard to lose the weight, so I purposely sabotage it every day. But eventually, if I stick with it, and try every day, the heart and the head line up and I am able to have success. So, stick with it, and try hard every single day and you never know when all the pieces will click! Make sure you also wake up every day with a plan, a concrete plan of what you will eat and what you will do for exercise and when you will do it! Your plan will probably change several times throughout the day, but if you don't start with one, you can probably plan on failing for that day. Good luck...and we are all here looking forward to witnessing your success in action, once all of the pieces click!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I really needed the encouragement. I have been active every day since Friday and I'm just trying to do a little better each day. I really appreciate your kind words and motiviation. I already know that I won't be able to fit in any exercise tonight between kids activities, meetings and homework so I had a smoothie for breakfast and a smaller lunch. I am trying my hardest to get on track, I don't want to feel like this anymore. I want to take out summer clothes and have them fit! I know it won't happen over night but maybe by mid-summer I will be able to fit into clothes I can't fit into right now.
That's the attitude! Yes, it won't happen overnight. Love that you had a plan for the days you knew that exercise was going to be hard to fit in!! Wake up every day and tell yourself that your health is a priority!!!0 -

It's hubby's birthday today, so I make no promises on keeping to my calories! That's the greatest thing about the flexible diet, I can go batsh*t crazy on special occasions and not feel like I've ruined everything and just shouldn't try any more. Just log it (I always log my bad days as well) and move on, back to my new normal the very next day.
So insightful!!! And what a sanity saver....that you no longer feel guilty for enjoying a special occasion!!! Another nice loss, Karyn!!0 -

Calories yes
Exercise 29 min Wii Just Dance
Even though I've been under my calories I've been eating a lot of junk lately. On Monday I'm starting a round of 21 day fix (have to let myself get treated on Mother's Day
)I had a lot of success with it before I got pregnant with my little man so I'm hoping for more of the same this time!
Sounds like a plan!! It's not just about being "under" if you don't feel as well as you should be feeling!!1 -

I am sorry, Tracie! I know this is very frustrating for you! These plateaus can last for a few weeks, so you need to be patient. Remember how far you've come, how much weight you've lost so far. Please hang in there!! (hugs)0 -
