My goal for May is to get back to 1200 calories a day and exercising four times a week. I will post my meals and exercise everyday. I did this before, last year, and lost 17 pounds. I gained ten back do to unfortunate stress in my life! I am in it now to get back to where I was and finally reach my goal!

Is standing exercise?

:smile: I think its a good idea to at least eat your alotted calories for the day! Too many days of not will make you feel sluggish and tired. So yeah, its probably a good idea to eat something for supper.

You are going to have to get to a place here you care more about losing weight than eating junk food. And I don't mean that in an ugly way. I think all of us on this site came to a place in our lives when we said "okay...I have got to do something...for my health, my future." Sure, an occasional cupcake or some sort of…

You guys are really great. I am so glad I posted how I was feeling because you have given me something to come back and read. I will be printing your responses to help me along and remind me that I can do this. I have done it before. I just gotta do it!

I do it and it works. Its almost like aerobics! I really like it.

I will be praying for you. I know that God will lead you in the right direction.

Good luck to you!

Yeah, I gained 2 pounds back over the weekend. Back to working out for me today!

its really helpful to actually beable to post every food you put in your mouth. You start to really not want to go over your calories because you want to post everyday under your goals. Welcome to the website and good luck!

You have come to the right place. We are all here for you! Lean on us, use this website and lose weight! Good luck.

Welcome! This website is great for keeping you motivated and reminding you what its all about! Get healthy!

I will have to look into that detox wrap to reward myself. For the next ten pounds, how about a new outfit...or a full body massage??:smile:

I am so sorry. I wish I had the words to say to help you through this. I will be praying for you though. No matter what, you deserve better than the hand you were dealt, and you will survive this.
