@JTH11706 - I feel your pain. This morning my scales revealed that I was at my heaviest since August '13 (ETA - it might only be 7/8 lbs ... but ...). They then went on to wish me Happy Birthday - with fireworks, followed by Happy New Year .... with more fireworks.
How rude!!

Oh that is rude. I'm in the same boat - I haven't been this heavy in years. It's ok though, I know what I need to do. I'm not going back to where I was before MFP and MYAC. I will work it off and get back where I need to be. I take comfort in the fact that I've managed to stay in the healthy weight range for over 6 years now - although at the moment I'm on the border of overweight. Sad to say my scale did not move this morning but it will.

3 mile run this morning puts me at 10/75

I am right there with you Janet. My knee is no excuse, but when they tell you to ice and elevate, you really can’t exercise. So I boredom eat. But I too know what I need to do to get the job done. I am not buying new clothes. I am the highest have I been in 6 years. Not where I started but not happy with myself. Slapping myself.

January 3: Got some trail hiking in today for an hour. Plus some x bike for 10 miles. Yesterday I scored 6 miles of walking.
TTD: 21 miles




Congrats Anaconda!

Accountabity ..... I am here because I said to myself .... Enough is enough.... In 2013 I weighed 253 lbs... With excerise (biking and walking) and changing everything that went into my mouth ... I changed me... I got down to 158 lbs.... That was my lowest... If you ever wonder why I do so many miles every day, every month,... It is the fear of gaining all that weight back.... There is no way I will ever let myself get that unhealthy ... So today I weigh 195 lbs... But I am stronger and so much healthier ... Do it for yourself and no one else... You are stronger than you can ever imagine ....

Got a good workout in on the elliptical and treadmill.

I...uh...ugh....stepped on the scale this morning. I gained several pounds during the festive period. The first year I have done that. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't taken 4 training days off the bike. Lesson learned for me.

Goal: 300.0 miles

01/01 - 25.0 miles turbo trainer
01/02 - 25.0 miles turbo trainer
01/03 - 25.0 miles turbo trainer

Total: 75.0 miles

I appreciate all you guys do and post. It's an inspiration and helps me not give up. I work too much and that leads to not eating healthy. I appreciate seeing I'm not the only one with struggles. Thanks for all your help. Especially to Dave and Janet for putting all these numbers in a spreadsheet. Not an easy task. Thanks guys.

Dean

January 1 - 16 km trail run
January 2 - rest day
January 3 - 16 km run
January 4 - 8 km run


Total distance completed 40 km - goal 200 km.

Dave and Janet ^^^^what Dean just said! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

@LovemyAlex, @anaconda469, @clepant, @Janet...looks like we are all in the same boat...surprised the boat is not sinking...we must get serious about our exercise and the food we eat.

I will not gain the weight back. My heaviest was 192.2. My kids were little and I could not get down on the floor to play with them. But more importantly, if I was on the floor and something happened, I couldn't move fast enough to help them. That scared me. I have 10.6 pounds to get rid of, and it starts now!! I will also post my numbers at the bottom of my post.

EGADS!!!

Chris

We can do this all together.... just keep moving your *kitten*... eat healthier... team work is the key .... accountability is the answer...
