I've lots 45 lbs and gained 5 lbs back. I DON'T WANT TO GAIN IT ALL BACK AGAIN!!! I need to find my mojo again. This is sooooo hard. I want to lose another 40 lbs but I don't have a time limit on doing it. Today is day 1 again for me and my goal is to go home and get to planning my meals for the week. I'm also going back…

rchlthompson, you are inspiring! I too have lost 40 lbs and now I feel like it is slowly creeping back on. I totally lost my motivation for eating healthy and exercising. It's like I sabotage myself and get over confident and now if I don't stop this nonsense I will be back up in weight. So...my goal this week is to show…

My dr. gave me a good bullet proof coffee recipe with coffee, coconut oil, butter and 1 scoop of protein powder. That is pretty much my breakfast some days. I'm really surprised how long it holds me over.

I'm looking for the same thing. I lost my mojo and am looking to get it back. I'll friend you! I want to start back doing weights. I'm back walking on my lunch hour everyday. A friend and I walk almost a 5k every day. Really made a difference but I haven't done it in a week. I can REALLY tell. What is Max 30? Just keep…

Good job MissMac! I know I need to keep telling myself "it's all worth it!!!" Last night was the 1st time in a very long time that I stuck to my plan all day and night. I had a good day yesterday and that is giving me the movitation to be good today too. That and this group!

So how is everyone today? I did really good yesterday and then after work I messed up. No groceries so on the way home my daughter and I stopped at Arby's. Boohoo I'm crying today! My goal for today is to stay on track!!!!! But, because I ate so well the entire day I did not have any swelling or puffiness which made me…

I will definitely look at all these sites for good deals on a treadmill. I never thought of buying that way. Good idea! A couple of summers ago I bought a pair of XCountry Skis that fit me perfectly, at a garage sale for $30. I think I will try to get those out again too and go to a trail near my house on those days that I…

Oh and I've decided that my long term goal is to REWARD myself every week I'm good with money in a jar going towards a treadmill for my house. I can't afford expensive gym memberships or yoga classes so want to get in the habit of doing it at home. Now that winter is getting closer and the days are shorter, I've lost my…

I'm with you JailbirdJubie! Gluten and sugar are killing me! Keep up the good work! :smile:

Well I am new to this group and I need the motivation! I just finished a 12 week Nutritional Weight and Wellness Class and I'm still struggling. I had no willpower at all in September! I'm so mad at myself. I get all this good information and then I don't use it! So my instructors parting words last night were: It does not…

I'm in the same boat! It's like I just cave when I am around food. It's like my brain just says 'you need to eat more!' My reasoning goes completely out of the window. I could also use the support! How do we build our strength to resist temptation? Please help!

Or is this the group you are pulling together for that?

That sounds great! Where can we find your group?

Hi, I'm new and this looks like a good group! I'm going through Motivation and Support and am hoping to be a part of a few of the boards. This group seems to be a great group after reading some of the posts. I'm struggling and need all the support I can get! I can't seem to lose anything these days. I'm very frustrated…

Hi there! Well seems I'm in the same situation you are. I need motivation. My will power these days has been very low and I am giving in to tempations! I would love to have more motivational friends. Thanks for posting this! Tracy from Minnesota

Hi everyone, I'm new to this message board and am hoping for a lot of support and motivation. I'm having such a hard time. I just can't seem to stay on track. My will power is very low and I am not losing any weight any longer. Seems I just don't care when I am faced with a temptation, and that is daily! How do I get…

I have given up gluten, which includes bread. I have been meeting with a nutritionist and she tells me that if you have a sensitivity to gluten (and I very well could be, celiac disease runs in my extended family) it is best to go gluten free. What they have me doing, and I feel a whole lot better, is eat a balance of…

I'll have to do some arm pumps too. My knee is a little sore after Zumba last night! So today is the 10th. That means we have 21 days left of April, including today. I have 22 hours left of the 30 hours I chose to do. That means I need to catch up tonight. I think I will do my Zumba and then do my exercise ball video and…

April 4th I need to post for yesterday and today forgot to post on here but have posted on the spreadsheet. Jamie - 50 hours - 2 hrs =48 hours left Jessica - 30 hours Jackie - ( 30 hours) - 0 hrs =2 hrs = 1.5 hrs = 1.5 hrs 25 hours left Serena - 40 hours - 1hrs =39 hours left Alicia - 30 hours - 23 minutes= 29 hours 37…

I'm in and going to shoot for 30 hours and hope I end up at 40 hrs! 30 will be a lot though.

Well today is a new day and I'm feeling very positive. I packed enough food for the entire day and also brought something for after work before I go to the Y. I have my snacks as well and I already filled up my water cup. After reading all the replies I feel I have a lot of support and that really helps my attitude. I'm…

yes, my problem is that I over eat on the days I get extra hungry. Usually the next day after a workout. I will work out that day too. I think I just need to plan better. maybe better choices and leave alone all the little extras at work!

Well I think I will start planning my days better so I'm more prepared for the hungry times, like after work and before I get to the Y. I can also portion out some snacks, like almonds, and put in little single servings. I might have to dig out my weight watchers recipes and start cooking more but on 1 day of the week and…

Thanks! Good info from everyone! I love it!

Thanks for the great advice. I never thought about blood sugar balance. I like that idea. Makes a lot of sense.

Geez thanks dude.
