I’m starting low carb today..... I know I can do it it’s just a matter of mind over matter but damn so hard some times

I’m in the same boat. I lost a ton 7 years ago but now I need to loose even more.

Thanks! It's a journey and with 3 very active kids it's tough to focus on yourself but between basketball games I got a walk in.

yummmmmm.....

It is really amazing that we think that as large as I was we were invisible but I was. Nobody messed with me. Breaking down those walls is soo very hard but they will come down.

Thanks! realizing it is also a HUGE part of it. I just went and threw out the cake. Made my workout schedule for the week and meal plan. I can not self sabbotage. Being 296 lbs will Never happen again! I want to get to my next digit! I am or was 232 before my meltdown I want to be 220's this next week! My reward..... a new…

Now I have stupid shin splints but Im working on stretching and drinking enough water.

I will have to try. May have to try putting a different kind of cheese. My family will eat the entire block of velveeta!

I dont have a pic yet but if you look at my profile it may have some. I have lost almost 55 lbs and am succeeding. My best advice is dont give up! The loss is slower but you will loose. Good Luck!

yum

will try soon!

That is a great progress! In 3 mo I lost 11lbs and I was hard on myself for not loosing more but when I thought about it that is a great rate and it will stay off!

Wow! Inspiring!

Great ideas. Thanks for posting.

I have been doing rewards every 5 lbs or I loose motivation. Every 10lbs is something like new clothes or haircut. Non food related. 5 lbs is something like I can buy some scrapbooking supplies.

It is hard. I was at Disneyland and did great lots of walking. Then I got home and my family came into town. that was a lot harder. It is over now. Took today to decompress and tomorrow back at the gym.

yum. I have been craving pancakes

bump :smooched:

I have had my thyroid tested every year. It is actually doing better now (1.9) than it has 2 yrs ago at (3.8). I believe the guidelines are that it is normal if it is form 1-3. So I should be good there.

For Excercise. I change it up pretty good. I do 3 days of eliptical. 3 days treadmill. Then when it is nice I through in hiking and walking then I do 3 days of weights. I am planning on taking up water arobics or spin class.

Thanks! Just put it on hold at the library.

I find the shoe I like and then I go to Shoebuy.com and get a great price with discounts and such. $100 shoes for usuallyl abut 70.

So how does it actually work? Ive been thinking of getting one but wonder if it is worth it.

I forgot to mention it is on A&E.

Thanks for all of the info. Had another bad weigh in today. Up 3.5 lbs today. I am working out and gaining. Crap. I am up 14.5 lbs in less than a month. So I am going to the dr in a few weeks. Something has to be up. Not giving in.

Sounds very very small. but I am here and my mind is in the right spot again. Oh and I threw out left over Christmas crap. So easy to fall into the pit of doom.

I dont have the recipe with me but there is a recipe called paprika "fried" chicken. LOVE IT! Uses saltines and greek yogurt.

Oh I way..... over did it from Wed - Sun but now I am done. and I ate enough salt to gain oh ummmmmmm 6 lbs! Enough! I am a different person than I was a year or even 2 ago.

thanks for all of the advice! I was thinking it may be a cardio issue. Im looking into adding an aqua fit class and some zumba. I am also committed to doing anotehr 5K at thanksgiving with the family. I actually have moved the peanut butter to the garage. I have 3 kids and they like it for sandwhiches but apparently I cant…

:happy:
