Worried about weigh in #2. I'm really wanting to kill this. I only have 3 months til I turn 40 and I have blown the first 9 months of this year on not losing lbs... I've gained muscle, though, so losing lbs should come easier. Now I have to stop shoving food in my pie hole. Feel free to add me. I need all the anonymous…

In. Add me, if you'd like. Name: 39in39 Age: 39 (shocking) Height: 5'4" Start Weight (1st September): 83.8 kg Goal Weight (1st October): 79.9 kg

I never thought about a support group. How does one find a group?

Me too! I feel like a different being walking into a different world when I go into gyms now.

I can't believe slim fast is still around. My dad and I tried this diet maybe 25 years ago and we both gained weight. I'm sure it's improved, both in quality and taste... I hope, at least.

And toddlers, maybe.

I deal with these thoughts a lot too. What do others do?

I think what it boils down to for most of us is that we just need to do what we CAN do at THIS MOMENT. If that's 10 minutes on an elliptical, that's okay. If that's getting out of bed, that's awesome. If it's running 5 miles, more power to us. We just have to figure out what we can do and do it. I think it's ok to not feel…

Feeling really good and stable for the first time in a long time. How are you?

Awesome

Oh, man, I left my therapist today and slept for 5 hours. That was rough.

I went to the store and an employee said something really rude to me. Instead of flying off the handle and really ripping into this person, then going home and self medicating the manic with a pizza, (and several days of other stuff) I took a deep breath and filed a written complaint from home. Yeay, meds!

Wellbutrin worked wonders for me, paired with lithium.

Maybe but it depends on the quality of your food. I didn't look at your diary or your current weight but it can be possible. Just be careful. Cheers.

My shrink says that mania can be brought on by changes in habits, diet, sleep patterns, etc. Maybe once you set up anew habit of healthy food it will settle?

Love it, stellar. Thanks.

I do so well til I have an episode, then all my hard work goes all to Hades. It's just so frustrating.

So, anyone around?

Been "faking" it for years but I still can't figure out what makes me want to put down the pizza. I don't have a problem getting to the gym. It's food. Fake it til you make it doesn't work with food.

What is your workout routine? Just cardio?

These are so good! Thanks!

Funny. My goal is to lose 39 lbs in my 39th year. Thus the name. :)

I'd love to join.

I completely agree.

Hi there. Lots of familiar sounding stories. My name is 39in39 because I'm 39 years old and plan on shedding 39 lbs this year. I'm a SAHM of 3 kids and was recently diagnosed bipolar 2 after years of not knowing what was wrong with me. Now I'm stable and hitting this hard!

Thanks!!
