I'm getting married next year, 5/16/15. It's going to be a beach wedding, right by the ocean. My colors are bright blue and bright green. For my favors, I am going to make candles, pouring the wax into a shell and adding a wick. I'll probably add more favors, just haven't made up my mind yet. Oh, and we are going to Mexico…

I have a similar story; I lost around 60 lbs and was doing very well...until I ruptured a disc in my back and couldn't really move for 3 months. That was about four years ago, but I just haven't been able to stick with anything. I would get started and be really motivated for the first month, and something would happen and…

Eh, it happens. Just have to dust yourself off and be willing to make the change to achieve your goals.

First of all, congrats! I'm getting married in 11 months, so I know the pressure is on to look and feel your best. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

Hey Deb, I have a similar story; I do well for a month or two, then I completely lose it. Something happens or life just gets in the way, and I just stop. I've been back for some time now, and I find that the message boards really do work, as well as a good set of friend on here. The biggest thing is once you really set…

I know how you feel about sodas and junk food. My two favorite things in the world are Pizza and Dr. Pepper. I've had a REALLY hard time cutting out sodas, but I take pride in the fact that I used to drink 4-6 cans (sometimes more) of soda a day, and I have now limited it to one soda per day, if that. Eventually I would…

Thank all of you for your amazing support. It definitely has helped put things in perspective. As for my mother's junk food, I have moved it to another cabinet that I never use. I'm hoping the whole out of sight, out of mind trick is going to work. As for the soda, I am just going to force myself into not drinking it. My…

I'm not eating carbs because of the paleo diet, as suggested by my doctor. I have pretty bad stomach issues, and most grains, dairy, etc will give me unbearable stomach pains.

For me, one thing I used to struggle with (and occasionally still do) is accountability. I used to think if people do not see me eating it, they won't know, so I wouldn't count it. I quickly learned that I was only cheating myself when I did that. I read a quote one time, "What you eat in private, you wear in public" and…

I would love to have friends on here as well! After all, the main reason I joined this site is to get motivation to meet my goals from other people. I am a pretty avid gamer, and I am a fellow Whovian!

I work 11pm-7am 5 days a week. It is definitely a struggle to get on any kind of schedule when you are on this shift, for me at least. What I have found that works best for me is to go to the gym around 9:30pm, after my first snack. Since I have started going to the gym at that time, I have found it easier to stay alert…
