Cerella~alright! Awesome! I never have anyone to talk to on yahoo, that will be great! :) Thanks :D


Ok, so Thursday( or friday?) I ran into EVERYONE i could think of, but i hadnt seen them in 2+ years (my moms old friends and one of her old nurses) It was sooooo nice to see everyone again, at least 5 ppl i ran into, all at different times and places. Well, the last one i seen was my "aunt faye" and she looked at me, and i couldnt tell if it was her cause she had lost ALOT of weight, and I said "Faye?" and she said "MELISSA?" (my first name) and then i asked how are you doing? And before i could finish sayin that she had already screamed (she gets excited easily, lol, luv her) "OMG! You look GREAT! You have always been beautiful, but wow you look better than ever! How much WEIGHT HAVE YOU LOST!" I was SOOOOO HAPPY!

So, after splurging for ummmmm...what feels like weeks, i am startng back bootcamp, makin a whole new list of goals, but this time, my boyfriend is also starting to try and lose weight! YAY:) So.....i am really hopin i can do it this time, i need lots of encouragement, lol. I have been sick this weekend, i dont know what it is, but OMG every muscle in my body aches....kinda like the flu...but i dont get sick easily (thank God) ok, so tomorrow starts my "starting over" If someone reacts like that because of how much weight i have lost, then i cant stop now, right!?!? Well. I am gonna go and finish cleanin and postin in everyones diaries, i have been sooo behind, hope everyone is doin great!!!

Hi Em, you are doing really well, keep it up! So glad you had a boost from someone seeing you and complimenting you, that's such a great feeling I am sure! Good luck with the boot camp startover - you can do it!!!
 
Thanks for stoppin by everyone...life is kinda slowin down *Knock on wood*

So....I havent been serious about my weightloss, and i havent been exercising as much as i should....walkin is about the only thing i do now. I REALLY want to lose this weight, i have just been so depressed lately about stuff goin on around with my family. I dont wanna try to make excuses, but it gets hard sometime. Anyways, I am going to try to get serious (again) about this! I am going to get a notebook, keep track of my weight, exercise, inches, and food. I need lots of tips from yall to help keep me motivated. It would really be appreciated if yall could help me out :D I know yall can, yall are always here when i need ya, and thank you so much for that!

So, im starting over and I guess what im tryin to say is

Yall need to gently kick my ass up between my shoulder blades for stopping, and after you're done doin that, you need to help me to not quit again.

LOL. I hope to be seeing yall around soon! Take care of yourselves! :)

motivation has to come from within you - you're the one that has to do it - other's cant do it for you.. we can, however, offer you support and advice :) but really look into yourself and ask yourself why you want to do it - then hold on tothat reason-it will get you thru...

Some advice I would offer:
1. Find a plan that works for you - that doesn't leave you feeling deprived or wanting what you can't have - the no crappy food diet seems to be themost consistent around here - and I do reccommend it ;)
2. Record your calories and weigh and measure what you are eating to make sure you're accurate.
3. Make sure you're eating enough... 1200 calories is very low number
4. Have your exercise plan manageable then work your way up to higher intensity.
5. Ask for help with other things goingon in your life - you've got a lot going on at such a young age... ask an adult in your life who you trust for some guidance and help -especially when dealing with your dad...
Good luck and I'm glad you are sticking around.. remember what ever yor goals are - you are worth achieving them for yourself :)
 
Your so cute !!! You've been missed - as I said bfore your always in my thoughts wether I post in your diary or not and I just havent been posting much at all lately -

As far as motivation and quiting or takin time off - well hon you just gotta find something that works for you -

I live off of granola bars - yoguart - fruits and veggies - through out the day adn work week and whatevr dinner may be - a veggie or two usually a potatoe por rice and some meat of some kind - chicken usually - or ribs or hamburger or I dunno - LOL

I also have Slim fast shakes around and slim fast bars - so I buy the optima line it is more expensive but they taste better and have these around for those days I just dont feel like eating or whatever because at least I am gettin the cals from them and the vits and mins -

I made myself a no excuse approach to exercise - I do have time to exericise I just need to make myself do it - so I try ot fit it in as much as I possibly can and this also always me a bit more leway to eat as I wish

I know it is hard hon especially when money is a big factor and you work your butt off already taking care of your family and the house and so on - but one thing I have learnt outta all of this is that I NEED to make TIME for ME and it is important and it is ok and my me time is exercising - the house work can wait the kids can wait ya know what i mean - you will not loose this battle unless you start putting yourself first and realizing that you are IMPORTANT and you do deserve this

When ther eis a will there is a way - you need to find that way and find a way to get some eqiupment at home or to join a gym or to whatever...if oyu live closer to me I wold open up my home and equipment to you or give you what I am not using - We are here for you and you knwo I can relte to you on alot of levels and I knwo how hard it is - we are kinda int eh same place but not ya knwo :):):) Im glad to see you posted!!!
 
Hi Em,
Mal's right - we can't motivate you - you need to find that from within. Do you want to lose this weight? Are you prepared to work for it? It IS a huge commitment and I know I was not ready for a LONG time. I never dieted, I never yo-yo'ed, I just knew I wasn't ready, so I accepted who I was, comfortable in the knowledge that my friends and family loved me no matter what.

Then I woke up and said I'm done holding on to this weight.

Once you truly make that decision, you'll reach your goals. You CAN do this :)
 
One thing that has helped me stay motivated is the long walk challenges where we set a goal to walk to, then have a certain amount of time to get there (in milage or using 30 minutes to equal a mile). I want to be sure to add in my time so we can get there.

The one going on now is the Burger Lake to Lettuce Lake challenge. You should join us.
