  • I'm struggling too, but I just keep getting back in the saddle. As many times as it takes. I do 3 or 4 weeks, lose 15 or 20 lbs and I get discouraged because I don't see a huge change (although others do) and I just give up. Then I get mad at myself for giving up and think about how far I could have gone during the "give…

  • It feels hard at first, it really does! Until you notice any slight change. Maybe bending over a bit easier, or no pain in the joints today or any of those things. That's when you realize that you must do this!! I realize that all the fat that I don't see is still inside of me, wrapped around my organs, my heart, my joints…

  • Every single day is a struggle for all of us. Even when we think we have it licked along comes Thanksgiving and parties and donuts in the break room!! I'm trying so hard to do what is necessary to get rid of the weight that belongs to someone else, I'm sure. I recenlty fell off and gave up. Wanna know why? Because I worked…

  • Don't worry, we can both start over! I fell off a few weeks ago myself and this is the first day that I'm restarting as well. I know we can do it.

  • Feels so hard in the beginning. Sometimes I look at others who have lost 2 lbs and take pix before and after pix and they look like they lost 35 lbs. And me I have lost about 14 lbs since starting September 9 and I don't look (or feel) like I've lost a pound. I can understand why people start and stop and start again. I…

  • I like to beat myself up! That's right, I will laze around and look at the clock and say to myself, "self, you could have finished your workout by now instead of sitting here watching Law & Order" for 3 hour straight. I guilt myself. My other motivator is when I'm working out I look down at these chunky juicy thighs and…

  • Well I'm like a 40 DDD and I need these big boobies to take a hike! I know that people don't want that part to generally go, but with a smaller frame that I anticipate I will be having, they will look mighty strange. :laugh: I just want to be proportioned and I have a ways to go. Only down 11 lbs in the last 3 weeks but…
