Hi All! I am really struggling with motivation and sticking to "the program". I do really well for a few days, then fall off the wagon. Would love some new friends to keep me motivated and accountable! :)

Welcome!

    The toughest thing about weight control is maintaining. Finding an eating plan that you really enjoy, and adding an indulgence only once a week or every two weeks, is a good way to control eating. You also have to find an exercise that you enjoy, because if you don't enjoy it, you won't stick to it. Exercise is definitely important, I try to do it at least five days a week and usually six. Keep working on it! Even if you have a bad day, just put it behind you and move on to the next day!

    You can do it! Stay strong and determined and just remember that moments of weakness only last a moment and then they are gone...unless you allow them to take control. Friends are wonderful resources to help you keep your resolve. Feel free to friend me if you like. I love seeing other's success. :smile:

    I start over everyday - I log everyday now (fell off tracking during a vacation). I love to see what my friends are doing, as them just doing something, helps keep me accountable. I also log every bad food choice I make, this is a lifestyle not a diet. You all can add me.

    My oldest son was here from NC yesterday and I totally blew off my diet. :sad: All you can eat pizza and movie candy. I gained two pounds. However, seeing all your comments helps me get back on track. Thanks for being here everyday.
