Thanks everyone. You have brought new light to me! :smile:

"Falling down a step or two doesn't mean you go all the way back to bottom to start again."

"No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress. You're still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying."

Awesome job! I'm avoiding both. I've been let down by both recently and right now can't handle any more let downs. Going by the way my body feels which is also hard.

Someone sent that to me!

i just stole this one! Grabbing Ll motivation I can get. Here is another: "Falling down a step or two doesn't mean you go all the way back to bottom to start again."

Thanks everyone!

Cholesterol 2011 was 230 in 2012 198. Glucose 2011 was 122 In 2012 was 113. Was advices on here to cut more carbs. Now feel I've tried to hard and just feel like giving up but still have the deep down desire.

Any advice?

I've been maintaining for a while. I keep logging, because I'm afraid of a gain. I have set health related and exercise related goal to keep me motivated. Back in October, my health goal were not being reached like I thought they should be. I had to change the way I eat even more. I've been struggling since. So I will…

I've been at goal for a while. When I reached goal I did ease up on restrictions a little, but I am doing this for health reasons , so after my last Dr visit had to tighten back up. A little harder the second time. My advice to people is make choices loosing wright you can live with for life. Its a life long journey!

I'm in week 4. Not keeping track of weight but I have gained, water weight no doubt. Not tracking weight until finished. But I know I have lost inches. I've modified some exercises because of medical reasons.

Yes, I'm currently at goal. After losing 15 lbs I plateaued. I was not eating back exercise calories. I was encouraged to start eating back and did not have a problem since. Infact I think it accelerated my wait loss. Reach my first goal very quickly after.

Let me add the only thing I cut was the sweets and soft drinks. Now trying to cut carbs , which I'm struggling with.

Yes it is possible. Maybe not the health way of doing it. I lost about 37 lbs doing it, but I reduced calories hoping to reduce cholesterol and glucose levels. One year later it did work but not as good as I had hoped and glucose levels still high.

Started loosing October 2011. Health has been my motivation. Reach goal the end of April 2012. I just hit 450 days in a row logging. Cholesterol and blood sugar control are my goals now. Have other health issues and don't want any other problems than I can help. October 2012 had my annual doctor visit, will results were…

Bump for later

Definitely before pics. Definitely stay off scales. I completed 21 days and got stomach virus, out 2 week currently back at day 6. The DVD pushes me. I stepped on scales day 21, so discouraging up 5 lb, water weight. I took measurements before I started again, a little discouraged, but want to see the progress.

I'm restarting on Monday. I was on week 3 and got a stomach virus, out for 2 weeks. I have a beach body coach as a friend on here.

First take the word failed out of your vocabulary! Be positive. I know it gets hard, we all get discouraged. Make sure you have strong friends who log everyday. The past few months I've had my ups and downs seems like weekly. I actually just had a friend suggest I switch up my exercise. I've been on here 420 days.

Also let me add I just started week 2 of Insanity.

Myself and 2 of my friends.

Day 3 of Insanity. Today was day 410 days of logging in a row. Been struggling the last few months. Almost to the point of giving in last week. Was encouraged to switch it up. I'm determined, In this for life. Giving up cannot become an option, did not log food today but did get in exercise! Don't think my food was that…

I'm 5'8" male 38 years old. Set my goal at BMI of 22. I've lost a little since that. Comfortable at 137. I also use body fat % as a guide also.

I am not on a diet, a diet is only temporary. I have tried to make lifetime changes. I only share is people ask, or might I say when people ask.
