#1 work on it in therapy (which I am sure you know) #2 Carve out some time for you during the day, where you can journal,meditate and reflect on your triggers etc. Give yourself time to dedicate to this, its a bit of time for you to meet the needs you are meeting with unhealthy coping strategies. #3 replace coping with…

Hi ! I’m Kathy from Southern Maine. I’d love to have some Maine friends if people are active in this group :) 46 yr old mother of two teens.

Back after a few years :-)

I'm a repeat offender too! :-D

I'm going slow, too much at once doesn't work for me. My September challenge: 1. Remain consistent about tracking. 2. Remain consistant with activity, on crazy family days at least fit a walk in. 3. Do my stretches so I can work up back to running without too much pain.

Great job! And you look soooo happy with your cat :)

Well I'm just starting today too. I try and keep the week in mind for a goal, the end weigh in. The bigger number is too much for me. I'm concentrating on my calories and meal plans while keeping workouts lighter. That way I'm well established in my new way of eating before taking on more.

Old thread but I'm digging it back up :-). I'm a bi woman and looking for friends :)

You are not a loser at all! It's hard, it takes a lot of discipline and the rewards are slow. In the past I've gotten so frustrated. I've ended up falling of the wagon so many times because life would knock me off my game. It's gotta be different for me this time. Keeping working at it and reaching out. You've had a lot of…

I'm soooo nerdy and call myself agnostic, humanist so def pagan friendly :-). Welcome! Those pounds are sneaky and creep up, no more crying your eyes out (hugs). We can do this :-)

I'm back after a while too. It's frustrating falling off the wagon! Feel free to add me :-)

Workouts when you are pregnant are heart rate dependant, from what I remember. If you start running and you have not been doing it regularly that can cause your heart rate to go to high. That was what my doc told me ages ago, it may have changed so talk to your doc. You can always keep a brisk walking program going and…

I'm 39, feel free to add me :-). How did you burn 900 calories?

I started today too! Welcome :)

I'll be 40 in December :-)

Thanks so much for the welcomes! You guys have all come so far too! I have a good feeling about this time :)

Wow! So much hard work! Your words and your actions are truly inspiring and comforting.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! You are right, it is an eye opener once you start paying attention to what you are eating etc. I'm hoping to stay dedicated this time :)
