Fell off the wagon!!!

Hi my name is Sara Waresback and I am an Independent Beachbody Coach. I have fallen off the wagon multiple times and what helped me the most was joining a support group. I ended up losing 30 lbs and then creating my own team! We share photos, and recipes, and even daily and weekly challenges. It's free and it's on facebook if you're interested. I would love to help you get past this and I'll ask for nothing in return. It's just something I love to do!

Hey I've been the same recently aswell.
I just did my grocery shopping today but before I planned my whole week of breakfast, lunch and dinners and bought exactly what was on my menu planner so I wont go overboard if it's in the house maybe you should try it
It's also a great way of saving money
Good luck and were all here to help

I'm a bit the same. Hit a plateau, not gaining or losing, need to shake things up but lost the will a bit. To be fair I had surgery so haven't been able to train for the last month, but the plateau dates back to last October! I just feel stuck.

Honestly, my husband will notice that I'm wandering from my plan and very nicely make a comment about it. When he is picking up on it and actually saying something about it I wake up and realize I'm doing a big no-no eating those S'mores! Then I go look in the mirror and my closet and think about how I want smaller pants I want my belly to not hang over them. He is my coach with all of this. I probably wouldn't have made it to this point if not for him.

Me three! I've totally fell off the wagon, losing my motivation and momentum. *sigh* I was hoping to find some new ideas for getting back on the horse, or wagon.

My motivation is my health, and wonderful friends I have met on here who push me, motive me and keep me on my toes. Feel free to add me for support if any of you would like....

I have been on this journey a very long time. Lost a lot of weight with Adkins, gained it back plus; lost a lot of weight with Metabolic Research Center, gained it all back plus; Did well on my own another time, but 'fell off the wagon' and quit.

This time, I restarted due to health issues that wouldn't be put off. I also hired a trainer. I work with her 6 sessions a month (because that is all I can afford). For those weeks where I have been sick, or unmotivated for whatever reason - and previously would have been a point I might have stopped or at least had a significant set back, now I have someone in person I am accountable to. I also remind myself that it is for my overall health, not ALL about the scale moving.

Try and remember, or better yet write down, why you started you journey. What you REALLY felt like just before you started, and what are those goals you are striving for!!

You got this!!!!! The wagon is right here, ready for you to leap back on!!

Good Luck!

I realize 50+ pounds is not something I want to carry around again.....it just isn't an option for me.

I posted this for my mfp friends the other day....

Thought for today...so many people seem frustrated this week with their gains/losses, ect. And I just want to say...Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither were you. That extra weight you're carrying, the bad eating habits, the self destructive behaviors (and we all have them)....those things didn't happen overnight. Many of us have been perfecting "fat" as a lifestyle for a long, long time. If you haven't given up in spite of a bad day or a bad week, if you've made just a few good choices in a week of bad ones, if you changed one old habit or are doing one thing differently then you are doing great. We can't reasonably expect to be different after 20+ years after doing something because we've decided to be. So, even if your scale didn't switch or your measurements stayed the same...you're still building something new, and you're doing great. Changes will happen, we just have to remember it took time to get here...it will take time to get to where we want to be as well. Hang in there everyone!

You are your worst enemy! It boils down to how much do you really want to get to your goal. Everyone has challenges.
It's how you pick yourself up and continue on that makes a difference. Don't skip that workout- whether it's a class or DVD or even a walk around the block. Make better food choices. Everything adds up in the end in this journey.

If this isn't motivation enough, I don't know what else would.

Me too! What is the name of your support group on FB? I could use a bit of extra support right now.

I'm not sure if you are talking about logging food or workouts or both. However, I've had some moments where I just wasn't feeling it. If it were workouts, I would take a week off or change up my workouts or both. As far as logging food, maybe a good splurge day would be in order for you.
