    I hate to be a downer, but omg I don't know what is going on with me! I feel like Dr. Jekel and Mr. Hyde. I look in the mirror and tell myself I need to tone up and get these extra pounds off...I walk into the kitchen and immediately don't practice self cotrol! Whaaaat? Where did my motivation go? I get that some days are better than others but days have turned into months. Maybe my "why" is too shallow...? Any One have any suggestions.

    I feel the same way... one minute strong as an ox.. an the next week as a mouse.

    Very good. You are indeed doing well.

    Hi all.... sorry, but probably no Thoughts of the Day... for a day or two. ... just found out my father in law just got admitted to the hospital.... So I 'll be gone for I don't know how long.

    You all be good and safe... drink your water, eat all your veggies, and for goodness sake... get some sunlight and exercise.

    Sorry to hear about your FIL. You'll be in my thoughts.

    Hello everyone. I’m new to MFP. It was suggested by my doctor to help with my weight loss journey. I am 41 and tired of these extra pounds. I need some motivation and inspiration!!

    I have the same problem. I’m strong and determined one minute and the next I’m weak and disgusted.

    I'll be 50 at the end of this year. I never had a weight problem, except for the first time I quit smoking but eventually lost it all, and now. I let the scale creep up and ignored the warning signs. Now I have 9 kg/20 lbs to lose to get me back to where I want to be. I have been living in Turkey since 2001. The food here is amazing and thats a problem lol

    Happy Monday all!! I'm on a roll here, but I did find out a bit- now that I"m very low carb, too much sugar makes me ill. Made the mistake of having a trail mix containing chocolate covered nuts and BAM- sugar overload.

    Have a great week, get those losses in =D

    Happy Monday. Had a great run (for me) on Saturday and did a kickboxing class. Skipped lifting again, which left me two sessions short last week. uh oh. Did nothing on Sunday. I detect a lack of motivation creeping up. Have to force myself to stop in the gym on my way home from work. I always feel better once I'm in there; it's just getting in there. Carpe diem.

    It is a shocking experience. Also causes depression on my part. Berries work for me now. 😎

    Happy Monday everyone! Hope everyone is feeling blessed.

    Did a carb refeed for 3 days and put on 15lbs... (salt and water) :-) .. That's usual for me. It'll be gone in 3 days..

    I will be 44 next week. Decided a few weeks back that it was time to make exercise a priority (after a decade of enjoying food and steering clear of exercise). Any motivational tips welcome! :)
