I just went through the same thing....I was the same for about 2 1/2 weeks...it was driving me crazy! So I took a break for a week. I didn't eat horribly, but I stopped counting calories and I worked out a little less...I let my body rest a bit and then I started off strong again....and I've lost 4 pounds this week....!!…

I felt this way last week!! I notice how I'm changing, but my family didn't and it did bug me. Then I got to thinking that I'm not losing weight to impress other people. I'm doing this for myself, so I'll feel better and be healthier. If I'm only losing weight to please others, then I'm just setting myself up for one…

I too have used this site in the past and got amazing results, then let busyness get in the way. So it's awesome that you're back and motivated again!! It may not happen overnight, but it will happen!!

I have upped my water intake a little, but I'll try to do more......

My name is Pam. Just wanted to say hi to everyone! I love this website and lost 35 pounds on here Last year, but then got pregnant so I took a break...now I'm back and I'm more motivated than ever!!

Congrats Nelly on getting back to pre-baby!! you must just be through the roof right now!! keep up the good work and those last 17 will be flying off!!!

I am a SAHM, to two lovely, but crazy, little girls: Krisalyn is 2 1/2 and Lana is 14 months. I've always had weight issues and I just allowed the baby fat to be an excuse...and not even a good one because I was really sick through both pregnancies and lost weight....but all my weight was gained after the baby was born and…

ok I'm jumping in on this challenge, if that's ok.....I think I need something like this for extra motivation. Start of MFP (jan08) 274.5 Current Weight 248 I really look forward to next monday to see if I can get back on track!! my goals for the week: ~get back to recording all my meals ~get some form of exercise every…

Thank you everyone for all the support and encouragement and exercise ideas! I really really really appreciate it!! I know I have to stop making excuses for why I haven't been motivated and just jump back into everything and start new from here!! so thanks again!! gonna go put on a music video and dance with the kiddos!!!

...and I NEED to find it!!! I am so stressed out lately by family, kids, finances...all kind of things and I've turned back to eating. I feel like I have no time to eat healthy, exercise or record my calories. I've gained 10 pounds back and I'm soooo depressed!! I can't find time to exercise lately without sticking my kids…

yeah I'm kinda in the same boat. I've been "away" since March and I haven't really been faithful to record my food or keep up with my exercise. I have still been losing weight, but only 4 pounds in a month and a half instead of the 10 lbs a month I was losing while being diligent to use this site. So like you, I know that…

Congratulations!! That is so awesome!! Keep up the great work! ~Pam

mine doesn't seem to be as funny as everyone elses....I was in tears reading this whole post!! here goes.... I'm Sleezy PottyBrains, my maiden name would be Sleezy DippinDunkin I'm married to Snickle PottyBrains and together we have two daughters: Dorky PottyBrains and Sloopy PottyBrains

I'm also really glad a girl won. It's good motivation for all of *us* who use being a woman as a reason why we can't lose much weight. I know that there still are valid reasons why women don't lose as fast as men, or as much, but who are we kidding....we can do it and become better us!!!! Down with the man pride and up…

Starting weight : 274.5 Last week : 243.5 This week : 242 another 1.5 lost this week 32.5 lost total that's 11.8% sadly, I haven't been very motivated in the past few weeks. I worked out once in the last 2 weeks!! Things with my kids have just been crazy and I can't seem to fit in any exercise lately. I get out now to go…

Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Whenever food comes into my mind and I have the strongest urges to cheat on my diet, I just close my eyes, clear my head, and try to think of all the wonderful blessings God has given me. I ask God to help me,…

I started MFP January 4th weighing in at 274.5 now 4/10 I weigh 243.5 I've lost 31 lbs so far. I'm averaging the 2 lbs a week that I'm shooting for.... some weeks more, some a little less, but it's averaging out to be 10 lbs a month!! so with 84 lbs to go, I'm hoping and praying that in 8 months (I'll give myself up to a…

Starting weight : 274.5 Last Week: 246 This Week: 243.5 2.5 lbs lost this week 31 lbs total!! I am really pulling for Ali to win the show too!! I would be happy if either of the girls win, but for some reason I think Ali just deserves it. she's basically won all the weigh ins since being back on the show. and for her to…

8 lbs is great!! stick to it and the pounds will keep coming off!! ~Pam:flowerforyou:

Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee: and shall say, 'Destroy them.' It's strange to think of food as 'the enemy,' but that's the best way to look at it if we want to be effective in our diets. Taking off the pounds is a…

Starting Weight : 274.5 Last Week : 247.5 This Week: 247.5 I went down to 246.5 between weigh-ins, but after a rough weekend I'm back up a pound. total lost : 27 pounds so happy with the way the weigh-in and elimination went last night!! ~pam

Exodus 33:14 And he said, 'My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.' The most effective diets are those with planned 'cheating' in them. Just as the children of Israel set aside a day for fasting from their daily bread, Christian dieters should set aside a day to indulge in the foods they enjoy. This…

well party #1 is over and I didn't do too bad. I ate a few wheat thins and had a huge glass of water before going over. for dinner I filled my plate with mostly salad and had half a serving of lasagna. I had a small piece of cake and 1 1/2 cans of diet coke. I did actually log in my meal and I still have 200 calories left…

...starts now!! my little baby Lana is turning 1 on saturday. we have a joint birthday party tonight at my brother-in-law's house. His son Korbin is 1 today. so we call the babies "the twins" because they were born two days apart...we were all in the hospital together...it was so much fun. anyway...the big party is tonight…

"When all else fails; try God!" yep this is some good advice, but I've often wondered how different my life would have been if I wouldn't have waited "till all else failed" and would have tried God first!! I try to remember that every day now...God is not my last resort, but my first priority!! ~Pam

Psalm 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me. We went around the circle, telling about the diet plans we had tried. Most of the people said they had no luck, no matter what they tried. I was the only one who had succeeded in losing a considerable amount of weight. Everyone looked expectantly…

well my scale is working again this week!! YAY!! Starting weight (Jan 4) - 274.5 2 weeks ago - 254 Last week - ???? Today (March 19) - 247.5 6.5 pound lost in the last two weeks 27 pound lost total I'm so happy that I'm down under 250!! I thought the show last night was pretty boring. I'm really sad that Brittany went…

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Let's not call it our diet; let's call it God's diet. No, that doesn't mean God has to lose the weight. It means that we diet because it's what God wants of us. If it's God's diet, then God will help make sure that it goes well. He…

yes it definitely feels too easy sometimes, or too good to be true!! my schedule hasn't allowed me to get a workout in for the past 4 days, but I've still lost another 2 pounds this week!! so weird!! it also makes me wonder why I didn't take care of this a long time ago!! oh well...no point in dwelling on the what if's.…

YAY SPRING!! my sister is coming up from florida to visit in two days...she's wanting snow cuz they haven't seen it in a long time...but I'm sorry...I can't wish for that...I've had enough.... well best wishes to you on your…
