Hmm...I dread the day I hit my own plateau. Maybe you can try a different work out to shift things? I don't want to say eat less, since you maybe already do. I hope you can over come it.

I don't think you really understand. It would not be right for folks over 18 to give advice to a 12 year old child on how she should eat/diet. We/They are not your parents and not your doctor. It's quite simple. As an adult, I think it's two totally different worlds between us and you. I'm not trying to be rude or…

When I first started last week, I was angry at everyone that tried to talk to me :P Now, I am fine. That is, once I found out exactly what I needed to eat to never be "Hangry".

BOWIE!

I am also a food addict. One thing I am trying to do is not think of this as a "diet". I'm trying to think of it as a healthy living choice I am making. God knows I like sneak in a pizza and some candy bars later down the road. :P

You and I have a lot in common! I also have tried for years to lose weight and I would give up, etc. I have also been on track for 8 days as well!! You can do it!!! I have faith! :)

Thank you to everyone for the motivation! Weighed in and lost 2.2 lbs this week. (Could be more since I am bloated and it's my TOM). Thank you again! I feel great about this! :D

Healthy.

Country is not my thing, but I do listen to this song often and I think it will be a good song to walk to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef201LbbAPE

It is so hard to keep away! I understand this 100%. For years, I have had the habit of eating at night...a few hours after I eat my dinner and a few hours before bed. I used to eat heavier foods, but I found that popcorn, which is a bit lighter, curves my cravings. So far, I have not been able to keep myself from eating…

I woke up today with a totally different attitude and went right into working out. About to go for a walk. Thank you all for the words of wisdom! :)

Usually I weigh myself every week on a certain day and log it, even on period weeks. I usually gain 3-6 pounds on those weeks, but when I weigh myself again the week after, "double the weight" comes off :P It's nice to see! I just try to drink a lot of water during that week and I still keep at the walking and exercises no…

Thank you for all of the amazing replies! You are all awesome :)

I think what is a bit different for me this time is, I am a bit obsessed! Only a bit ;)

I would love to lose 15-20!

Queen songs are amazing to listen to while working out. "Don't stop me now" and so many more :D

This made me feel a bit better! Thank you so much for your kind words. It's so nice to see really nice people on this forum. You are definitely right and I'm going to try to keep focused on the present and positive future

Of course! I don't expect it to come off in a month. I'm just afraid that when I hit a plateau, or when I get discouraged like I did the other several times, I'll just stop. So far, I am happy with the walking, the eating less and healthier and the exercises are pretty fun to do. So, so far so good. Fingers crossed for the…

Queen songs have been the biggest songs for me at the moment!
