Ok, honesty check here, how many of us actually stuck to our diets these past 2 wks? I know I didn't. THats the biggest part of our battle, we have to stick with it!
I honestly stuck to my diet. I wasn't able to exercise though and I feel that was part of my problem. I am now able to exercise and I did a sculpt workout yesterday plus walked a mile and today I walked a mile and did, okay nobody laugh... only 12 minutes of Tae Bo. The Tae Bo kicked my a$$

but I am proud to say that I was able to do 12 minutes of it today and only about 1 min 30 sec when I bought it (which was the only other time I did it). I was VERY UNCOORDINATED when doing it and felt really weird at some parts but I am proud that I did it. I am all fired up and ready for tomorrow. Working out made me feel so good! I had to ask myself "Why haven't I done this before now

???"
When are we going to start the next one?
GREAT JOB Skinney for losing your 5 lbs

! And may I add, you are great support when it comes to this. I read your post to the 15 year old that is struggling with his weight. I feel really bad for him. You put things in perspective for him. Hopefully he will take your advice. I would hate for him to do anything stupid. I have to admit and only a few select people (family and best friend) know this.. Last July I tried to commit suicide for various reasons. No, it was not weight related because I was actually 165 lbs at the time (lost 50 lbs from Jan to July - the WRONG way) so I felt good about the way I looked, it was what I was feeling on the inside

that lead me to do such a STUPID thing. I have been through some major counseling and am proud to say that I am better and I only go about every two months just to vent so I don't ever end up in the frame of mind again. That may be something that he will need to do... get some counseling.
Anyway, sorry for the long post! Good luck everyone for the next 5 lbs!!
