About a year ago I was almost under 200lbs! I think one dad I hit 199.5 and I was SOOO excited. And now what the heck? I'm back to where I started almost 4 years ago?? I don't even know what to say about that, other than 'oh crap' and then just start again. I do not ever want to give up, that's one thing I know for sure. But it is frustrating so I totally understand!

Thanks for the encouraging words - and good luck to you too!

So I am starting my second week. It has gotten easier, the last two days I have actually struggled to get all my points eaten before bed time. Now I just need to get myself motivated to exersize! I have a Wii Fit - I was doing it a few weeks ago and it is so fun - just need to make myself get on it - maybe tonight is the night. How are you all doing on your journey?
Jan 13, 2009

Well I finally got on my Wii Fit tonight - forgot how much fun it is. I am shooting for getting up early tomorrow and taking another go at it.
Jan 15, 2009

I did it - atleast today, lol. Got up in the dark and did 1/2 hour n the Wii before getting ready for work. Could the be the beginning of a trend????

Monday - wiegh in day - only 2 pounds but it is a loss!
Jan 19, 2009

Great job :) I Keep hovering between a 2 and 4 lb loss lol, drives me nuts! But I won't give up. While baby Matt was playing on the floor tonight and I was laying beside him, I thought 'what the heck am I just laying here for?' so I kept moving and doing various exercises I remember for tummies (holding legs off the floor - my gosh where did my muscles go??? haha! geez), and I felt better for doing that. He looked at me like I was nuts tho haha!

Great job - you know you could put Matt on your legs for an extra weight and give him a fun ride in the process! Just keep at it - slow and steady is the way!

I am not allowed to exercise at all right now until I get my foot x-rayed this Monday - :( Hopefully I did not do too much damage and can get back at it!

Ugh Matt is too heavy for me to lift with my legs now LOL. He thinks it's fun of course but he is over 20 lbs now, i should have done it more when he was little LOL.

I just read in the other group about your foot :( so sorry! I get plantar fascitis a few times a year and can barely walk for weeks let alone do anything else... it hasn't hit for awhile so i'm waiting for it lol. grrrrrrrr

Yep - those babies just get bigger and bigger all the time. Enjoy him before you know it he will be grown. My "baby" just turned 24.

I have had a horrible week staying on the program this week - so many dinners out with friends - hard to stay on - it will be a victory if I don't gain this week! That is what I have decided that I will be happy with - a ZERO. :)
Feb 5, 2009

Good luck bevy! I had a bad weekend with too much yummy pasta and fresh bread (killers for me lol) but I somehow managed to maintain my loss thank goodness! I admit I haven't been as crazy into it because i'm having issues getting exercise done at home lol. If i wasn't going to slip and break my leg outside right now, I'd walk more (roads and sidewalks are a total disaster). But hopefully I can smarten myself up soon!
Feb 9, 2009

I am doing better this week, but still no exercise. I talk to the foot doctor this week to see when I can start up again. That will help.

Congrats on your loss - keep it up - we are worth it!

I am so glad you joined, sduvenage, posting the pics were a bit scary but a great motivator!! I am also using Weight Watchers and like it so much. I love the flexibility of it. So far I have lost 10 pounds - about 40 to go. My weigh day is Friday so I will hopefully be posting a loss tomorrow.

Great job on your loss! Keep it up!
Feb 12, 2009

Awesome job on the 6kg loss! wow!! I didn't do very good this past weekend but I ended up being down another pound this morning somehow lol. I was happy to maintain after my pasta and bread fest lol.

Good luck to you too bevy :) :)

Hey Everyone - Sorry I have not been too faithful in updating here. Work is crazy and I have been de-stressing by taking small trips on the weekends - hope to have some time to scrap some of the pics I have taken pretty soon. the diet has been a huge struggle with the stress and travel but I am determined to get back at it Monday morning. Hope this finds you all well.

Mar 19, 2009

Hey kezcreates - I have also been slacking due to busy life - no excuse - I was back in the gym last niget for the first time in months. it felt good, hoping to head back tonight. Keep keeping on!
