in Introduce Yourself
I am having my ups & downs pretty bad right now. We just moved & I seem to do very well than.. all a sudden I stop working out & start eating bad again :( I feel so awesome when I eat right & work out I don't understand why I keep losing weight just to gain it back to lose it again to gain it again. Anyways just looking for some friends. I have at least 50 lbs to lose. But I'm going to start with a 20 lb goal :)

    Don't beatyourself up too much! If you read enough posts here you will see that most folks have had or are going through the same issue as you. One month it's all about eating right, exercising, losing weight and the next month or two it's slipped into the bad routine again.

    I am going through it right now, I have kicked the bad part aside (mostly...) and have been eating better and exercising more, but there are always more than necessary lunches or dinners that make me go "Why did I do that?" The short answer is because it was easier to grab and go while out and about than to wait till I got home or order something better...

    Hang in there, you have friends here who can help you through the bad times and help keep you motivated during the good times. Add me if you would like?

    Sincerely,
    Chris

    Hey,

    I've been doing this for a bit too. When things are 'wobbly' it impacts on diet easily I find.

    You want to do this and you will. Day at a time.

    Good luck x

    When I eat crap - I feel like crap. I am always amazed that I have to learn that over and over and over... I know how you feel, it is so frustrating. Persevere, my friend! Feel free to add me as a friend. We have about the same goal


    *Took me about 8 times to get "persevere" spelled correctly - lol :wink:

    Feel free to add me~ I'm taking baby steps with this journey. I've been here done this- but this time I have to~ no ifs ands or buts!

    Take it in small steps- one meal at a time- one snack at a time- one work-out at a time and put it all into one day.

    I just joined this site & its very helpful in tracking my food & exercise. I have also had ups & down with my weight. My goal is to lose 20 pds or get my body fat down to 20% right now my % is about 37.... I know that if I don't stay focused, work out & eat right it comes right back on. I just turned 47 and really am looking forward to many healthy years to come. would like to share stories and tips.

    I know how you feel FireGirl; when you are eating right and exercising you feel great!! It is so easy to stop the healthy habits because of a small bump in the road such as one bad eating day or skipping a day of exercise leads to 2 weeks of counter-productive activities.
    Before I quit smoking for good I did the same thing. I would be good for a months and then i would have one cigarette while drinking and the next thing i knew i was burning through a pack a day again. I quit smoking 11 months ago so now i would like to concentrate on losing weight.
    I would like to help you through your journey, so you can friend me.

    I was doing the same thing. I was lucky enough to find out that my insurance offers a health coach. so she stays on me about my menu and goals. If you have insurance you might want to call them and see if they offer that service. Everyone falls off from time to time, but you know that eating better and excerise makes you feel better.....so you are already ahead of the game. You can do it. So you got off track....today is a new day with a new start!!!!

    I too have recently moved. It has been really tough. I loved my old home and miss my friends and family. Trying to find the right job has been a struggle and of course with all of this going on I self medicated with food. I have about 30 pounds to lose and could really use a friend too.

    My first step was to start by tracking my food - eating well (no more chips, cake, candy) and just walking. It is back to basics.
