Got a little nudge from an old friend from the forum on my MSN last week. It reminded me how good this forum was for me last year when I was losing weight. I remember the challenges being a good support to me and very motivating!

I have been on Jenny Craig since October and have found recently that I am unable to afford to keep it up. Several years ago I was very successful with Jenny Craig losing 50 pounds. So I am hoping to keep going on my own. I have been on my own since just after Christmas, and have lost about six pounds.

I have a few goals this year that are supporting me in this weight loss journey. The first is only weeks away. I am going to Costa Rica with my school. I am a teacher. I didn't want the kids to see me in a bathing suit at 205 pounds!! I am still not feeling great about my weight, but it is getting better!

Another big goal for me is in the summer I am going to Australia for five weeks! I don't want to be overweight as I will surely be active and running around while there, so I don't want weight pulling me down!

The final goal for me is of course I am single. Being single and a little over weight can be difficult. I have been doing the online dating thing and some people hide behind the internet to allow themselves to be mean to other human beings. And because I am not a stick thin "athletic" girl, I deal with a lot of rudeness. Don't get me wrong, I am a confident woman, and I know that I have a lot to offer any man who is lucky enough to have me! But the weight issue is a struggle as I am sure that everyone on here knows!

Big shout out to my old friends Wishes, Niapage, Katie, Pequin, and the many others who's names are escaping me right now!

Hope to gain support from old friends and new, and hope to offer support to others too!

(Hey that rhymed! lol:willy_nilly:)
 
:hurray:Welcome back! Good on ya for continuing to lose even while off the JP programme! Your goal is so reasonable - you can TOTALLY do this! I like the things you have to motivate yourself, too. Aren't you lucky to be such a world traveler!

Best wishes as you continue your journey,
ABBA
 
good to see you back. Do you really need Jenny Craig? what are they giving you exactly for the money?

You get support here, you have all the nutritional advice you can get from here. Its not them thats loosing the weight its you. you are doing the hard work, its you who lost the weight last time and you who can do it this time :)
 
Hi welcome back (though I didn't know you before :))

I think it's fantastic that you have mini goals....those always keep me going and don't let me give up! Looks like you have a lot of fun trips to look forward to this year....I am jealous.

Way to go with the weight loss since Christmas....and overall for that matter!!!!!

Well I dunno if I should support someone who doesn't remeber me:(:cry::boxing::rolleyes:

LOL - Welcome back!!!Good to see you strong and having goals!!!:beating::jump:
 
Actually I do totally remember your name!
Like I said there were so many great people who supported me before!
I do apologize! :)

And thanks to the others who have welcomed me back! That's great!
 
welcome back (even tho' I'm new here...lol)...I agree with 3wishes...plans like Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem work while you're doing them but they're not real life...in the end we have to learn to do modify so that we can be healthy but feel fulfilled and satisfied....best of luck with your goals
 
Okay so it's been four days since my last confession.... lol

Yea wow what a long week... very busy! I do intend to get onto people's diary's to say hello and offer some support.

Some of you may remember the spring, I was going through a break up, and completing my final project for my Master's... Well funny story... he he...

When I got that paper going, I was determined to finish it early and meet the spring graduation requirement date... THAT didn't happen. At the end of May I got my edits back and I decided that I would take the summer off from my writing, and just focus on me! I went to Europe for 15 days, visited with some friends, enjoyed my summer... came back to work in the fall, and heck all of a sudden it was February and I wasn't even close to starting again! The entire thing is due at the end of April, so decided I had better get my butt in gear! So the past four weekends have been devoted to writing, sending in a draft, crying when I get my edits back, writing, sending in a new draft... and the cycle goes on. My supervisor said that this is really a common cycle and I am not to get discouraged... well I am in editting hell! :banghead:

So as I continue on that, I have, of course, been busy! o well.... ALMOST DONE! I can totally see the light at the end of the tunnel now and I am looking towards it!

My eating has been crap this week! I have joined the March challenge, so will do a weigh in tomorrow morning... I leave for Costa Rica in 22 days, so would really like to lose at least another 5 pounds in that time!
FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS!!!

The weekend will likely consist of working hard on my paper, and attempting to eat well!

Monday I want to start exercising again! I have yet to start that piece up through this process that I have been on! I know it will help once I get going on it!

Ok that's it, talk soon, :seeya:

Thanx for visiting my diary, I know what you mean with editing crying editing etc... I am doing a master in medicine myself at the moment and it is hard. Hard hard hard hard!

But we will manage! And welcome back!
