A day off and getting to sleep in a little.

Brown eyes

So it's Saturday. For me it's a day off. Besides house cleaning and grocery shopping I plan to get on my elliptical. What is everyone else doing today? Do you push harder on weekends or give yourself more slack?

@happygirl it is easy to sabotage ourselves. I do it all to often myself. I wish I had the answer for you, but I don't. Just keep plugging along and don't fall off the wagon just because of one mistake.

I could use motivation as well. It is not my first go round either. I do good for a while, but then I give in and next thing I know I am out of control again. Good luck to you.

Hello. Looking for motivation hope to find some here.

Take something healthy so you can eat it if nothing else is diet friendly. A lot of potlucks have casseroles and things that are hard to know even what is in them. I also have a potluck this weekend. In the past I have taken things like Asparagus, Soup, baked chicken, veggie trays, and low fat desserts such as sliced fruit…

That is an amazing story. Keep it up. You have probably added years to your live with this change. You will be a great motivation to all who read your story, including me.

Jess, It is hard to be so open about your past, but they say that admitting the problem is the first step. I am proud of you for your honesty. I think the way you love your family is amazing. You are right. When you are healthier, you will be a better wife and mother. You can do this, and I am sure you will.

If you haven't done Zumba before you will love it. I can't dance to save my life but it is sure fun to try. Ellipticals are good machines. If you are concerned that is not enough, throw in your other day of strength training there. Congratulations on being out of the 200's. Good luck to you!

I just joined yesterday, sounds like a great challenge.

Welcome! I am on day 2, but so far I like it. I tried to back over the days of the week and enter my information even before I found the site. I did better the last two days, but still had ice cream. You will get there.

I agree that things like tofu are torture. I like the idea to log it before you eat it. I love the scanner, that makes it easy. Thank you for the encouragement!

Kara, I am new to the site, but so far I LOVE IT!! I am a Colorado Native and would love to encourage you. Colorado is actually a pretty healthy state, according to surveys. You will love Colorado. As for the snow, it depends on where in the state you live. I am in Gunnison and we have 40 degrees below zero but usually not…

Thank you to all of you for the encouragement. I did better today than I have in months.
