RED TEAM WEEK 4

okay i smashed it and threw it out the window... lol

WHOO HOO!

okay i smashed it and threw it out the window... lol

that is some impressive will power!!! i might not have been able to do it. :flowerforyou:


Also, I just weighed myself ( I know we're not weighing this week, but I check a few times a week just to see what's up) and I'm at the lowest I've been since I started MFP! The last few weeks I've been fluctuating by a few pounds here and there (so I haven't been recording it...i'm so terrible!) but now I'm dow to 156!!!!!!!!!! I'm so freakin excited!

Hey guys.......so I've had a horrible horrible week and I was embarassed and ashamed to share it with my red buddies.

I don't know what's going on with me.......I was doing SO WELL. I was eating the right amount of calories I was exercising everyday and then on one stupid weekend trip everything fell apart and all my work that I did before then seems useless.

And then tonight I'm going to a graduation reception for my cousin's kids and I already know the type of food they're going to have..............GOOD OL' MEXICAN FOOD!!

I'm at a loss cause I don't know how to get motivated again. :sad:

I was also having a lot of motivation issues this week (and last week). :grumble: I don't really have a lot of advice. I posted my big long rant the other day and a couple people responded and that encouraged me a little bit. It made something in me snap yesterday and I said, "You know, I'm going to give it another shot". So, I don't really know what to tell you. I wish I had a sure-fire way for you to get your motivation back. :ohwell: I'm sorry.

Just think about how good it felt before this past week when you were doing remarkably well. I know you want that feeling back!

Thanks Jess, a few of us definitely needed that.

Man, high school seemed so far away, but it was only three years ago. I'll have my bachelor's here soon then off to law school. Wow, time has flied. I remember the day my now husband told me in high school that he was enlisting x.x


I totally agree with you...time has flown by so quickly. I just had my 10 year reunion last year. It does not seem like it was that long ago. I'm getting old! :laugh: Where are you going to Law school? I have a good freind that just finished Loyola in New Orleans.

I have very high dreams. I want to get into Harvard, if not there probably down in Syracuse because husband will still be stuck up at Drum.

Good Mornining All You Beautiful Ladies of Red,
I hope that everyone is having a fantastic Friday!! I know that there has been some discussions about falling off the wagon the past few weeks! If you are feeling down....don't!! Like Jess said this is a lifestyle change. Rome wasn't built in a day...we all did not get into the kind of shape that we are currently in overnight. It took years for us to get to this point and while we are trying to make the change for the better we are going to slip up. No one expects us to live on this strict regime for the rest of our lives. At some point (probably once we are all used to this current routine) we are going to have to change the way we eat and exercise again to maintain our weight loss! Just remember that if you want it bad enough it will happen...just don't ever give up and if you do feel like giving up come on here and talk to us. That is what we are here for...support and encouragement! We can ALL do this...together!!

Good evening, red team!

First, a biiiig thanks to the encouraging posts today for those of us who are [actually, were] falling off the wagon, so-to-speak. :flowerforyou: I'm so glad I'm on this team. You girls give me the little extra push I need.

Today was a fairly good day, I suppose.

I hope everyone is well.
