I'm restarting this program today. I need some motivation to keep me going. I always have good intentions, but then I skip it one day, and then it gets out of control and next thing I know, it's been a week. Feel free to add me for motivation/support

You are not alone. I feel the same exact way. I'm definitely lacking in motivation and support at this moment. Seems to be so much work to achieve my goals and on occasion I just think I want to give up. But I always remember the goal at the end, and how awesome it will feel when I finally get there. It may seem like a…

I'm feeling pretty bored. I think I'm going to try level 3 today, just for something different.

I absolutely love this! I was in your shoes last week. So terrible.

Thank you! I finally got my butt in gear yesterday. I think it was the nice weather though. Back to the freeze today, so that motivation may have been short lived!

This made me giggle! I had the kids do level 2 with me yesterday, and that's exactly what my 12 year old said..."mom is this going to be appropriate?" Haha!

Confession 1: I have been reading this thread for over 2 hours while at work. I have ignored numerous phone calls. Confession 2: I figure the bites I take off my kids plates while cleaning up from dinner don't contribute my daily calorie intake. They do not exist!!

Request sent. I'm 31 and I log everyday whether I want to or not!

Really need some motivation to get my butt in gear. Have been making excuses for myself. (i'm tired, pms, kids, the list goes on). I only did level 2 3 days last week, and none so far this week. Ugh, just feeling pretty lazy.

I'm in too! Add me. I'm 31, have 3 kids (7, 9, and 12) and looking to gain more confidence in myself. I'm not trying to lose a ton, just want to feel confident in my own skin! Can't say that I ever have, and especially not lately!

Wow!!! That is amazing. I had no idea!

I will definitely start measuring myself today and see where that takes me. Thanks for the input!!!!

No, I never eat back my exercise calories. Should I be? I eat what MFP says I should eat for my daily calorie intake and then exercise on top of that. Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong.....

I feel your pain! I'm up 6 pounds since the last time I weighed in. Don't let it ruin your day. Just work through it. Don't give up!!!

I have noticed that the database can be WAY off, I definitely double check. I don't weigh anything at the moment. I have 3 kids, a husband, and a couple of other people that are living with me that I cook for everyday. I don't know that I would have time or energy to worry about weighing my food too. I am not against doing…

Usually last a couple of weeks (sometimes more depending on progression). I'll just say that if you look the way you want, fit the clothes size you want to wear, and people admire and comment on how great you look.........................does it REALLY matter what the weight on the scale says? Good point. I am naturally an…

I haven't tried measuring myself....ever. Besides knowing my waist measurement (because of buying pants), I know nothing. Maybe that's where I should start, rather than worrying over the number on the scale. I know for a fact that I've lost some inches, because my clothes fit different, but that number on the scale can…

I rarely weigh myself because I know how the scale can be. I was curious this morning, so I jumped on. It's not "that time", and I watch my salt intake. I don't drink soda or eat anything with a ton of sodium. I'm not sure what you mean by how I calculate calories. I am very honest with my serving sizes. I drink a TON of…

I just finished level one yesterday and started level 2 today. I would love some friends to connect with for support and guidance. Add me!

I have a similar goal! I'm in for supporting one another. I sent a request!

I'm 31, 5'3" and 155. I would love lose 20 pounds. Add me if you'd like. I struggle with the balance of working full time, kids, and healthy eating habits. Any inspiration would be greatly appreciated! :)

I'm new here as well, and having some of the same issues. I am part of a weight loss challenge at work and don't want to let my team mates down. I have done well up until this point.... 9 pounds in about 5 weeks, but I think my weight loss is starting to slow down. I gained a pound last week. :frown: I only have 5 weeks…
