edited October 6 in Motivation and Support
So I am beginning my journey yet again....and as I usually say....I think this time is the time. I actually brought my gym bag to work today and plan to do so Mon-Fri. I keep telling myself I will do the exercise when I get home and have been telling myself that for the last 6 weeks....and I have not done a thing. So today is the day....my eating has been good thus far.....back to brining my breakfast and lunch to work. I work in Center City Philadelphia and there are a lot of things to tempt a person out here...lol. Any who....wish me luck.

    I live in Northeat Phila.
    I just made small changes instead of doing something I knew I would not keep up with for the long run.
    I lost without exercise. I started making healthier choices everyday and it came off without much effort.
    I did get a food scale and I watch portion size. I found substitutions for the things I knew I couldn't live without.
    Low carb and cal breads, pitas, tortillas. I eat more chicken and fish. Cut out fast food. If I go out to eat I make healthier choices. Don't eat High carb bread, Cakes, candy, soda and juices. Lots of water, fresh and frozen Veggies and fruitsl, Whole grain pasta and rice, barley, sweet potatoes. Cut sodium way down too.

    Good luck! I was the same way. I would just say I would workout when I got home, but when I got home, I found myself sitting down and not wanting to get back up.

    ME TOO!!! I used to weigh 228 lbs. I got down to 145 and worked out almost everyday. I have since gained back about 24 and it depresses me so much. I am desparetley trying to bet back to my old self with the exercise part but I am just not sure why I can't seem to do it. It is very frustrating to say the least. I "start over" on MFP weekly lol..I figure as long as I keep trying, one day I will eventually stick to it. I wish you luck!

    That is still an awesome weight loss. You can take it off again.....just refocus. I know what you mean about wanting to but no being able to. It is very frustrating....but we will figure it out and we will do it.

    I found that to be my problem as well...that is why I made the commitment to go at work....it is only day 2 but I am planning on going tomorrow as well : )
