I hear ya sister! I fell off the wagon for about a week too. Ever since the holiday weekend I have been screwing up cause I have difficutly when I am out of town and I just got back this past Sunday. (I think your post is helping me to pull myself back up) It is rough but we can do this....really we can! I needed to see…

Hi! I am a yogini as well! LOVE this thread great idea sparkles. I have been practicing yoga for about 5 years I actually used to run a yoga therapy group in baltimore for inner city youth. It was great. I recently moved to Southern MD in a more rural area and have not been able to find a class yet. There a few at the gym…

A break with a walk outside is actually a great idea...i think that could really work...thanks, monkey:flowerforyou:

YES...i hate those pics and i feel like ALL of my recent wedding pics are those kind of "oh my gosh is that really me?" pics. I think seeing the pics of the wedding actually helped to boost me into weight loss mode

Hang in there girl....you CAN and WILL do it this time. This is certainly the place to be for the support to get it done! :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the tips and support...just gotta keep trucking and substitute good foods for the bad. I think I do just have to remind myself not to let the stress of the day to block my own life achievements...very wise words, Jen:flowerforyou:

I have a pretty stressful job b/c I work in the criminal justice/jail setting as a clinical social worker. I evaluate people that have been charged with some pretty serious crimes to try to help with mental health and substance abuse needs. Today was tough...I have a murder 1 case that I am working on and I was reading all…

Way to go! That was an awesome choice:flowerforyou:

Well it is the end of my first week of my journey to good health. I am down 6.5 lbs in my first week...that was a great loss...SO HAPPY :bigsmile: I am beginning to learn a lot too about myself and how I got to this state and weight to start with. I know people say it all the time but I am beginning to understand (by…

INFJ Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging 22 - 62- 38 -11 Awesome...that was fun, they had me pegged pretty well and I am a therapist which is apparently one of the common professions among INFJs Lauren...it's you and me girl...go INFJ:drinker:

Holy moly 15 cans in 9 hours???? I am a friggin' diet coke addict, but even i don't drink that much!!! Anyway I am slowly weening myself off of it because I heard it makes you gain. I was wondering why too. So its the carbonation and sodium, huh?

Welcome! I actually just joined recently too. Isn't it a great site? Yeah the whole pad of paper thing really makes it tough...I love the calorie counter especially since there is no math needed!:wink: Even after just a few days I feel like this is the right place to be! Good luck on your weight loss journey:flowerforyou:

CONGRATS!! An awesome step on your journey to healthy...I just joined a fitness center earlier this week. It feels good doesn't it?! :drinker:
