Two Year Anniversary Coming Up - Not @ goal and its All my own fault

[Georgia 2,908]

I walk for at least an hour four days a week. I am going to be adding two days of strength training (30-45 minutes) to that in the coming weeks.

Can you give me an idea of what you mean. What's involved in each? lifting weights, cardio -what's involved. Been doing lots of cardio but no strength training.

Will do! It has to be in the morning and with a buddy or in a class.

when do you work in your work outs?

Not sure who you're asking, but I prefer to work out EARLY, before Breakfast.

_{I have a walking class twice a week for adults with disabilities, we walk around 45 minutes each time, and I take a dance class twice a week in the evening... keeps it regular and others depend on me, so I am less likely to skip it. I then fit in a few other things most weeks, I took up bird watching, so go to the river or other park and walk and look, or work in the garden.}

I've found that when I isolate myself and act like nothing is wrong ( you know- like my weight is going to fall off magically- lol), it really does not help me at all. I've wasted months that I could have been losing weight- eating like a pig (a small cute potbelly one lol) and acting like I was at goal. my weight will always be a struggle for me and that really pisses me off. even with the help of 1/4th my stomach, I manage to gain weight. How sad and pathetic is that. I can do better/ we all can do better just like now with us supporting each other. I have my resolve back to continue to goal. y'all with me??????????

The worst thing that any of us can do is pretend like everything is hunky dory. That is what I always did in the past, stopped stepping on the scale, ignored my clothes getting tighter, and just being in denial overall. Then, it would be like all of a sudden, I would wake up fat and wonder how it happened!! My best defense against weight gain is routine and keeping trigger foods out of my house. I really do not have any more self control than I had before, but if the food is not there, I can't eat it, plain and simple.

I have said if before, and I will say it again, the only time we fail is when we give up. You already know what you have to do, you just need to do it.

Wow I feel like I could have wrote this thread myself! I am coming up on 2 years November 16th. I have fallen back into some old bad habits and haven't made it to goal.

I wish you the best of luck, and anyone else in this thread that is in the same boat, we can do this!

I've lost 140lbs so far, I would like to lose another 60 pounds which would put me around 160.

so much great info and support in this thread.

I wanted to share thoughts on a different angle. My boss is a red hot chick (in her late 50s) whose weight bounces in a 25-30# range. Sucks but the key is she never lets it become 50 or 150# - she works that "gain " off every time. Normal people struggle with weight and the formerly obese have it even harder... but so it goes.

Just.don't.give.up. Thats my plan anyway.

Congratulations Ashleyxx!
