This tread is for all those, like me, who struggle to stay on the "wagon".

I'm currently trying to regroup from my most recent "fall", where I gained 9 of the 19lbs I had lost since 01/01/07. Really cheesed me off.

Please feel free to use this tread to share your stories, inspiration, words of advice. I hope this will help those to get back on the "wagon", help those about to fall off the "wagon", to just plain stay motivated.

We know we can do this. We've accepted that we want to, or need to, do this. We're only human. We all stumble. Let's help each other reach our goals!

Looking forward to hearing from you all!
 
Again, I love the idea. So, yeah I fell off the wagon a while back too. I'm trying to stay positive and am heading in the right direction this past week. Just need to keep up the motivation and keep moving. Rather than sitting forever in front of my pc.

I'm going to Atlantic City at the end of July and after my sister's baby shower. I'm hoping to lose a few more lbs by the baby shower on the 28th and then be a little thinner/healthier in AC.

I also have a family reunion in Sept and then a Disney Cruise at the beginning of February. I really can't fall off during the holiday's this year and need to stay motivated toward my goal for my Cruise in February. I really REALLY wanna wear a cute bathing suit then.
 
Disney Cruise! How fun. Hubby and I don't really go anywhere. His family has a cabin in the woods 2.5hrs north of us, so that where we vacation. It's quiet and peaceful. Lot's of 4-wheeling. No electricity, so no tv. Everything is run by propane - except for the radio. It's our only connection to the outside world.

Sounds a little hillbilly-ish, but last time we were up that way we stopped at an outdoor store. They had a camofluge bikini, that I told my husband I would buy when we went on holiday in July. Needess to say, in falling off the wagon - there will be no bikini this July. Don't think I'll make the August or September holidays either. However, I have thought about wearing it on the past few really hot days - good motivation for next summer??? Give me a full year to keep it together and I could look smokin' in camo.

If you couldn't tell from previous posts on my diary, hubby is into the outdoors, hunting, etc. I'm sure he would love my bikini!
 
that bikini sounds like it'll be a great motivator for you :) you should buy it for yourself as something to keep you motivated :)

my motivation these days is waning... I'm unbelievably frustrated with my self for no good reason - other than my expections for myself are set high and I'm falling short -and I know I am the reason to blame...

new habits are formed so Im not overly worried about slipping back into old ways but it's the added stuff that I need to do that I'm havig trouble with..
 
You are truly an inspiration to us all Mal! You have come so far. It always seems as though, once you can see the light at the end of the tunnel - the struggles begin.

Only 58lbs to go - amazing. Your new habits are formed, so that is a bonus. I think that is half my problem - I haven't formed any new habits. Sure I'm eating better, but I still like the crap - not to mention issues with portion control.

We'll get there - "Rome wasn't built in day".
 
Im no where close to seeing the light at the end :) 58lbs is still huge -

it really doesn't matter what I did yesterday - today and tomorrow are the only things that count. Yesterday is done - whether it wa sa good day or a bad day -it's done - today is today...

I said it to someone the other day, and it's really incredibly true -my head gets i the way and kicks my butt...
 
I fell off the wagon a little bit this week and regained a pound or two. I know its not a huge fall off but still disappointing :[

That's a great way to look at things! And I agree with Jenn, you are a great inspiration as well as a few others on here. Thanks for all you do!
 
Had a minor slip last night, but I'm not falling off. Feeling really good about myself again. Feel like I'm back on track. Down another lb. from Tues. Still have a few to go before I'm back to where I was, but I'm heading in the right direction.
 
NOt getting any exercise in tonight, but I think I need a break after all the stuff I have been doing this week. HOpefully I won't see an increase on the scale tomorrow.

I'm hoping to be down at least 3.6 more lbs by Jul 25. That is my short short term goal. =)
 
had a server melt down yesterday at 4:30 - and didn't come back from the dead til about 7:30-- near death experiences aren't good to get my unmotivated behind to do anything...

Oh Gosh, Mal. Hate when those things happen to hubby. It means super dooper long hours. YIKES! Hope you didn't lose all your data.
 
Weekends suck!

You work all week and are looking forward to the weekend. When you get there, you eat like shit and are miserable Monday.

Does anyone have tips to stay on the wagon over the weekend and during vacations??
 
Plan on stuff to do over the weekends that aren't centered around food... or maybe are centered around exercising masquerading as exercise...
