Where did the group go?
Hi, I haven't been around much in 2020; it doesn't look like anyone else has either. This was such a great group with its daily goals and other motivating challenges. I'll keep checking to see if anyone is posting. My goal is: For the next 16 days I will walk twice a day. I tend to make my goals huge like listing 8 things…

Motivation Accountability and support September 21 to 27
I don't know about all of you but I can get too busy to make sure that healthy options are available. I am sharing a link to an article that reminded me that I need to do this because when I do, not only do I eat healthier but I have more time in the day to do other things. Http://weight…

Motivation, support and accountability thread, July 20 - 26
Hello Group! This is an important week for me so I thought I would start this week's thread. This week, I will be celebrating my 48th birthday. I love my birthday. I want to be around for a lot longer and have many, many more of them! My gift to myself this week is to explore my food/nonfood triggers and change just one…

motivation and accountability thread October 28
Thinking ahead to November and the idea of thankfulness. I am reminded of how thankful I am that I can exercise--because for the last week I have been coping with shingles and now today I injured my knee. Both are temporary set backs and so my monthly motivation letter to myself to be opened a month from today is all about…

Motivation and Accountability thread-Oct 13 to 19
Didn't see one started so thought I would do it this time! :) I have a book on my kindle called "100 Days of Weight Loss"; it has a daily motivational reading and small goal. Today's was about ambivalence--when you aren't fully committed to change. To get past this, "you have to raise the importance of your goal and make…

What was your wakeup call?
So we are all doing this really hard thing but each of us has a different motivation, that moment of insight that changed you and started your new healthy life. For me, it was completely breaking down in tears at work twice in 3 months. I totally lost it. I no longer had the self confidence and resiliency that I had relied…

motivation challenge
This is a motivation exercise I do with my students when they start to get off track. Try it! So what is a small achievable goal you're working on? Me, it's getting exercise in before work. Now, write down all the things you're doing that don't allow you to reach that goal. Me again, I stay up late, don't prep for the next…

what topics would people be interested in
So, I have been learning about my food addiction for the last year and a half. I know that for me, right now, I am needing support for how to deal with relapse. I had lost 113 lbs after changing my eating habits to remove white flour, processed foods, added sugars, etc., and to incorporate small amounts of whole grains and…

the hunger fix
I read the book The Hunger Fix by Dr Pam Peeke last year. I learned so much about why I am addicted to food and lost 113 lbs. I set my next goal to lose the last 73 lbs to my goal weight then hurt my leg. Just starting to get back to the healthy fixes but it is even farfetched time, just like a drug addict who's had a…
