someone else said it first: weight gains happen, and weight loss is hard work, so don't give up or feel defeated is you are struggling. ... you are not alone.

fail your way to success hard... multiple failures, this retraining my brain to accept my own changing body truths.. hard... not linear journey.. hard to accept plain truths... bare facts, my body does not process that (food calories) as others may, or even as I have in past. steps of grief... shock, denial, anger,…

how is your ac or heater working? thermostat/thermometer thermometer measures where you, like scales and inches, dress that fits, how much can carry or lift. Charts tell where you are and range of where you want to be. thermostat is setting what the thermometer gets to. the goal... where you want to be in chart. ***But the…

for MY body wellness, some foods &amounts don't work for me. some movements my body craves more of. Even though may fall within certain guidelines, it is still incredibly individual. ***Retraining my brain to understand and accept these facts takes work*** ... some days are harder than others. And even in failure, in fact…

SELF PEP TALK abt food management and movement goals... failures will happen. Work to embrace and acknowledge them. This allows you to correct before they escalate. Doing nothing gets no change, no criticism and no new results. change imposdible to I'm possible. Execute: do the work that is necessary. Circumstances don't…

life gets in the way... let it be a bump instead of a road block

how to lose...there is NO one size fits all.. you have to find what works for you. individually. so many variables... physical body challenges, food likes/dislikes, time, emotions, metabolism, dollar resources, people resources finding balance. a continual learning curve. staying with it through all peaks and valleys

additional thought... several yrs ago saw a PBS show abt two groups challenged to climb some place. They were given a set amount of time to train. In each group 2 or 3 people were not up to the skill level as the rest of the group. In one group everyone successfully reached the summit; in the other group only a few…

at the start...361.. if it wasn't so sad, it would be comical.. my trying to just turn over in the bed. But to you (and myself)... positive things CAN happen to you, and have happened to me. Look for the small changes and non-scale victories...KEEP GOING... Within a few months of mfp, I shared with friends, and will share…

hurrah for your non-scale victory! My nsv today... Instead of sitting and feeling lonely and isolated on this fitness journey I joined this group. My goal for today ... wash clothes... so behind..., take a bath {with low energy lately am viewing as a chore) and steps 4025 goal (feels overwhelming, but no rush, I got time)…

sw: 361... age 64 (no, I was 63 it was before my birthday) cw: 312 gw: 147 or 174 (still haven't decided now b/c for now it is a far, far away vague number that doesn't translate into meaning yet... like a two year old understanding driving a car) A preacher said, can you empty a lake with a teaspoon? ANSWER: Yes, but you…

dear tinkerbell 1.how can I be that heavy without looking fat... Healthy comes in different body packages. Go look at the variety of shapes and sizes of those who competed on the olympics last summer. They all have trained to stay at healthy toned levels, but they were not identically shaped. 2.you stated people tell…

don't know how this works on phone app. After reading that...people have more success when they have support... and recognizing going it along isn't my best success path... ...I need and am seeking support and accountability from a few people.
