so I have really been struggling recently, is there anything that you do to give yourself a good kick in the butt? or is there some good words of wisdom you can give me? anything that will jump start my weight loss again! thanks!

    Hey look at how well you've done - don't be too hard on yourself. Just think about what you've achieved so far - failing that, lock yourself in a room with a big mirror, take all your clothes off and jump up and down !! Works for me! Good luck - keep on going :-)

    There is no one more important than you! If you don't put yourself and your health before everything else then who will? It's the only body you will ever get so make it what you want it to be! Set some small goals. I have to do it every week or I'll never get where I want to be. You can do it!! We are here to support you all the way!!!

    I bought myself my first pair of running shoes to help get me motivated.

    Good luck. I've been having a hard time too and there's times I feel like nothing I do or say helps get me to lose this darn weight! I know I have to. For some reason food tends to win me over by dinner. It feels horrible. All I can say is don't give up. Every day, keep trying. Until you get it right. :)

    every once in a while i put on some pants that are a little too tight. that gets the fire under me going and i get more motivated, not depressed. being sad doesn't help. you know what i do when i get sad? i stop being sad, and be awesome instead.

    Hi there - as I told you, I fell off the wagon recently. The dr told me I have calcific tendonitis which is causing my hip pain (that I've had for 6 years). I also hurt my foot... so I used both as reasons to not walk. While I stopped exercising, I also thought "why not, I can eat whatever I want too since I'm not logging"... well that was stupid. I'm already frustrated because I haven't lost anything yet and eating more is not going to make it better... so even if I don't walk like I was, I can at least still watch what I eat until I hear back from the dr on whether I can start walking again (it might make the condition worse). We are also looking into a Y membership so I can swim and get a workout with less stress on my joints. Hang in there. I didn't log for a week and now I'm back at it. I still may not see the scale move down, but I'm going to stick with it. My goal now is for the scale to not go up! Thanks for putting this Xmas challenge together and keeping us all motivated! Stick with it!
