10 months later and I'm back.

I am feeling like such a failure

still trying to get into the process!!!! ugh

Thank you. That's why my mantra now is "This is a process, not an event!"

Today I almost lost my way but I got back on track thanks to a friend!

Last night at derby practice I pushed myself as hard as possible. We had one last endurance drill to do, skate 27 laps in 5 minutes. It has been in a pace line and for quite some time I have fallen behind but just keep skating what I can. last night it was in a pack, I started in the front of the pack to try to keep myself…

I have a personal trainer now. She's actually a roller derby teammate that recently is taking a hiatus from derby. She has me counting my Macros and doing workouts everyday. Ugh... exhausted but my cravings are getting better. Someone mentioned about appetite getting down. That is in the works but the other day I went to…

That's so true. It's so much of a mindset thing.

10 pounds lost since this thread started. It's a process, not an event!

It's a process, not an event. Someone remind me this weekend lol

Walking this same journey

I think you make a good point about appetite. Good things to keep in mind. 18 day streak... 7 lbs lost, on a very long way to go.

The only way to approach this now is with a totally different mindset. How many years though this inner war has been going on!

I do roller derby! I'm pretty freaking incredible at it too. What I suck at, food. Food is so good. My appetite is so big. I love all kinds of food, I love sharing food with friends and family, I love eating when I'm home alone, when I'm up late at night pulling an all nighter to finish paperwork. Food. Every family…

I usually do great for about 2 or 3 weeks, lose 10 pounds or so and then I fall back into my old habits, before you know it I have gained back double and thus the cycle continues.

Moderation: sticking with the calorie goal, realistic expectations for 'diet'. Exercise and fitness: finding a routine that works in my very busy work and family schedule. Mental Wellness: reducing the unhealthy choices as a "want to" instead of "have to" or rather "supposed to". Black and White Thinking, All or Nothing…

All the "fresh starts" haven't seemed to help in the past. Looking for a new outlook. Needing the lifestyle change!

You raise very good questions! What hasn't worked, follow through- making a lot of excuses. I know what I am supposed to do and then bam, life gets in the way.

New to this discussion. Have a lot of work to do to meet my goal.

Thanks, I really feel like I need to make a genuine connection with someone who understands. This lifestyle is a bundle of mixed emotions!

When I go to log my elliptical workout on Fitbit, it states that there is no match to my search. How can I log an activity there when I have no idea how many calories I burned? I used to depend on MFP for that estimate.

I have a Fitbit One that I just started using and I love it. I am wondering about how the steps that I do while on my elliptical factor in. What I believe happens is the following: I click on my Fitbit to track the exercise The steps and calories burned are tracked When I go onto MFP and enter in the exercise it syncs with…

Fell off wagon so many times. I feel like this last year I've been chasing behind it trying to get a hold to jump back on. Like a moving train! The wagon stops no longer, I am running out of time and the older I get the harder it is.

Skipped ahead. How in the heck do people have time to read all of this? Sheesh

Please anyone serious add me. I am in the same boat and looking to make connections for accountability.

Every day right now has been a struggle, but it is getting easier! Thanks for the support!

I would be Abnegation. Seems fitting, I am a social worker. I liked the part in the movie where her brother was chiding her for not helping the woman with her suitcase. My mom used to brow beat me about things like that! Now service comes natural.

DON'T DO IT! At least that is what I have to tell myself. I am so black and white, and when I go over I tend to self-sabotage. I know that once I get a handle on things later I will be able to have the moderation but for right now I pass up those extra calories even though I want so much to give in. I have a long long long…
