I've felt like poo for eating too much junk, resolved to be better, then the next day lost my will and did the same crap. I seriously need to find my will power again. The last month and a half has been stupid, I haven't lost anything at all and it's my own fault. I've stopped tracking and fallen back on a lot of bad habits. I don't eat much at a time, and I do eat 3 healthy small meals-but it's the junk I eat in between that is doing me in. I know better, and it makes me mad. I had to fight hard for this, I need to quit blaming the Halloween candy and my husband being an enabler and do this the right way like I know I can. I'm so disappointed in myself. I've come so far this time, from a size 20 to a 12...but I know I can do better. I need energy to feel good-and I sure as heck won't find it eating crap and sitting on my ass.

Been there done that. I understand. We need to get back on the horse and buckle down. I'm struggling everyday.

I am down 130 since Jan 7. I have had problems with McDonald's ice cream.. I had to admit to it and haven't had one in a month. Highest weight was 384 and now 250. Soooo happy I did this. My life is sooo much better.

I indulge on McDonald Ice cream once a month, but I ask for an extra cup and Knock off the mountain top. I eat just a little on the top and the cone. Save half the calories!!

McDonalds ice cream makes me dump. One bite is all it takes.

Hey my Jan peeps! Still waiting to have baby. About 2-3 weeks left. I'm so ready to start back losing weight! How's everyone?

Really? It's pretty much like frozen yogurt. It's the only one that does not make me sick, but I'm pretty far out from surgery.

I've tried it twice and yep, it doesn't agree with me at all. Same thing with the ice cream in my town.

Just got an email about the new site and realized its been forever since I've checked in here. How's it going? I miss catching up. I'd forgotten how much this used to be my support system.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had it at our house this year. I ate more than I should, and foods I shouldn't have-but overall much less than I ever have on any of my 39 turkey days. Enjoyed my family tremendously. I actually walked out to grab a guest a drink and caught my 7yo nephew taking a swipe of cool whip directly from an unopened container in the garage fridge! He dropped it and hid in the corner, told me "something fell". Not much else in there was white, and his auntie is a pretty good detective and realized even if "something" did fall from the fridge, it doesn't get all over your face by falling down. Can't say I blame him, and I held no grudges-his new nickname is CW.

Lets see, what else? I just had a birthday, my 39th. Last one before the big 4-OH! I'm at the lowest weight I can recall being at since grade school. Sadly, I haven't technically lost any weight for about 2 1/2 months (unless you count the 5 I've taken off and put back on). Time to get on with it eh.

I'm quite sure it has to do with lack of motivation and restraint. Actually, I think most days my brain is motivated but I can't get it to connect with my lazy body... I can tie it to 5 things I need to correct: I haven't been tracking my food, getting in enough protein, exercise, or water, and I've never attended an actual support group. So, I started tracking again yesterday. I'm getting up right now to make a protein drink (with water) that I will take with me on the 2 mile walk my HB and I are about to go on. Then when we get back I'll find out what date the monthly support group is on and actually GO!

So enough for me-I have a drink to make and a walk to take. Guess I should get out of my jammies 1st (now that I actually talked myself into moving this body of mine!).

Have an awesome night all, best wishes.

Ok so I am stuck like glue to my weight but in its defense I have not exercised in a while. I am having sweet cravings and unfortunately I don't dump. I just need to start to move more.

Hey everyone!

Hey everyone!

Hey there. How's it going?

Ok so I am stuck like glue to my weight but in its defense I have not exercised in a while. I am having sweet cravings and unfortunately I don't dump. I just need to start to move more.

I'm right there with you in the needing to move department. I got too complacent.

Hello everyone It is official as of Thursday I have hit the goal of my surgeons to get to 175. I am currently at 174. I haven't been here since high school. Attached is from left to right left in pink was two years ago in turquoise was last year and in red is this year at Christmas time.

Looking great! I would post a pic, but I have no "before" shots...I avoided cameras like the plague

Not quite there yet but happy!
