I've had a really bad two weeks in terms of weight, motivation, time, DE-motivation. This is going to be a whine post so you might want to jump out right now. The worst part is what my weight is. I discovered the scales I was using were faulty. Instead of having lost close to 15 pounds since March.....I've GAINED TWO. This…

QUICK!! I need good reasons why I shouldn't go eat that brownie that's calling my name. Screaming :devil: my name, actually. Feeling very tempted. (and yes I drank my water, just downed 24 ounces.)

CHECK IN: Water: Terrific, as always. That's easy for me. Eating: Waaaay too much. I decided to treat myself. Seeing it in the numbers of my food diary really opened my eyes. I probably won't be "treating" myself so much anymore. Exercise: Not good. But that's OK. I've already exceeded my weekly goals by quite a bit and…

Today was a good day. I came in under my calorie allotment. Got all my water plus more. Got some exercise in. Feeling very confident that this will be the program that works. Yea!! Hurray!!! :happy:

Thank you, Everyone, for the nice welcome. This is what I needed! Monday really does begin a new life for me. I'm excited to see the results. I have to keep in mind that I can't quit just because there are no results after two days. That's been my history lately--start off strong, see no results in 2 or 3 days and then…

Great idea, Kelly. I've always kept measurements to track my progress (or lately, my NON progress) Pictures sounds like a terrific idea. Good luck....excited to watch your progess, if you decide to share.

ALL food is wasted. When I realized that whether I throw it down the garbage disposal or (pardon the graphic) it goes down the toilet after eating it -- all food is waste, that helped me feel like I didn't always need to clean my plate. If I'm having trouble saying NO to what's on my plate I'll say, out loud, ALL FOOD IS…

I've been a "member" less than 24 hours and already my outlook is brighter & I've found some hope I ddn't have before. Keeping a food diary has always been helpful for me so this site is terrific for that. For Father's Day breakfast my Hubs wanted a fast food splurge. I said No, Thanks. He had his & I made a small…

I've been sedentary for almost 4 years for various reasons. I'm ready to start moving again, but the excess weight makes too much exercise extremely difficult. I'm hoping walking & just some good, old-fashioned calisthenics does the trick for awhile. Then when I limber up, get stronger & more breath, THEN I can get…

Thank you. I REALLY REALLY need the help & motivation. I want to do the work.....so feel free to kick my butt into action. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

I am brand new here. Not sure of the protocol and I could sure use some help & motivation. Is this a place for newbies to join? Or is this a closed group?
