Totally. I'm just happy that I didn't gain any, but I sure as hell didn't lose anything. I did really well on Friday, but Saturday was a crapshoot at best and then Sunday I was tired and slightly hungover (*grin*) and just ate what tasted good.

I'm back on track this morning, and feeling really good about what I've eaten so far, but ... gah. I just want to smack myself for not having more self-control on Saturday. Drinking always does it to me and I know better.

Oh well .. just keep swimming, right? :)

Yea, I know, 100 pds is alot, but it comes down to 8 pds a month, right? which is 2 pds a week.. I can do that! I know it takes real comittment, but i'm up for it. And yea, he promised me before he'd do it...and he did, he lost 40 pds in the 1st month, but thats as long as either of us lasted..this time, its for life. My kids need me, my husband needs me...i don't want either of us to die.

Thanks hun!!!! I WILL!!!!
 
I dunno, I have a funny feeling that if you lost even 75 pounds or thereabouts, hubby would take you to that beach for the weekend :).
 
Hi Korrie,

I'm pretty new to the forums so I just wanted to say I wish you the best in your latest adventure!

I'm working on losing 60 pounds in about 8 months, so far I've lost 20 in the last 7 weeks although my pace is currently averaging 2.5 a week.

For me I've cut out liquid calories, primarily pop (although I drink coffee now instead), which was about 1000 calories a day and I've been exercising 3 days a week with weights and cardio as well as walking for 30 minutes 5 or 6 times a week. So far it feels like a lifestyle change rather than trying to lose weight which seems to be the key for me.

Not that you need any advice from me or anything, was just sharing what is working for me in hopes that maybe you might be able to do the same.

Anyway I hope you're able to reach your goal!

-Jeremy
 
thanks for writing to me guys! i appreicate the support..even if I don't get back and post to my diary often. I will try to change that.

I'm just feeling really "lost" right now in my life. I always thought feeling "lost" was for teens, ya know?? lol But yea, its like, I can't make a decision...I dont' know which way to turn...I just feel like everyday is just survival..do what I have to do to get by..whatever that means b/c I live a cushy life...but its how I feel. I don't know what I want to do about school...dont' know what do to about my weight...i'm just very "lost" right now...does anyone else every go through this???
 
Hang in there Korrie, I think we all go through that feeling of being lost sometimes, I went through it when I sold my business and didn't know what to go on with. I also feel a bit lost when it comes to my study.
 
Thanks hun! and I'm glad to see a fellow member from "back in the day" on here with me!

I guess I feel particularly stressed about school. I have to make a choice and make it soon...that adds stress to me, which probably makes it harder to make a choice which makes me more stressed, lol, Snow ball effect!!
 
Korrie - for all kinds of different reasons I can sympathise with feeling "lost". It's been a bad couple of years for me and "lost" seems to be my default setting much of the time. :)

Hang in there ... it has to get better, right?
 
Thanks KC! I love writing that, lol, as my "real life" initials are KC! Sorry to hear you've been in this state for years...I hope you too find your way...shouldn't there be some kind of map we can buy???lol!
 
wow, i didnt' realize how long its been since I last wrote. The last challenge just wrapped up and although I didn't have any success, just the fact that I stayed in the challenge and finished it, makes me proud. This August is my birthday month and i'm determined to get those lbs off..my goal is at least 6 lbs this month! I WILL DO IT!

School starts for both me and my DD's in about a week and a half! i just can't wait!! Taking the summer off was just what I needed to clear my head, but i'm soo ready to have a reason to get out of bed again, lol I just am not the kind of person who can be happy being at home day after day.

Um....not much else to report right now. I'll try to write more often though!
 
well, i finally am having the successful day that I've needed!!! Got up and felt good and motivated, I got a huge, 32 oz bottle out and filled it w/ water, its my goal to drink the whole thing today..I'm about 1/2 way through as of now...i'm keeping track of my cals AND getting the house in order as well!! You moms out there know important that is right before school starts up! I still can't believe next week is my last full week off! the time went by so fast!
 
well, ok, so I think i found out why i've been struggling so much. Not just w/ my weight, but the day to day living, i just seem to really struggle w/ having any kind of discipline. If I dont' wanna do something....i don't do it. By the end of the day, nothing is done and i'm deppressed about it.

So what I figured I'd do to end this cycle, is that I'd go to the dct and get on some kind of antidepressant. That has to help! I've always considered myself to be 'slightly depressed' but not bad enough that it effects my life...well, i think its to the point where it does...so, its time to get that help.
 
Hey Korrie. I like your avatar by the way. I have a huge lack of discipline as well. I think joining a challenge might motivate me to actually update here once in a while. And yes... summer does fly by fast. Real fast.
 
um, yea, speaking of summer flying by, lol Its Labor Day and the end of summer is here.

I'd been thinking alot about my weight and how its gotten so bad. Yet, I can't even begin to start calorie counting and all that goes with that. How I got so jaded on cal counting, i dont' know. Thats the method I used to loose 30 pds back in the day. Maybe its the hundreds of times I tried it before, only to give up a week later. Maybe its b/c I dont' wanna feel like a slave to the numbers again???

Regardless to the reason, I've decided to take one healthy habit and concentrate solely on that for 2-3 wks. nothing else, just the one goal..then after 2-3 wks, add another and so on.

SO, for the next 2 wks, i'll be posting daily the amt of oz of water I've drank for the day. My goal is half my weight..so 120 oz.
 
OK, day 1 of my 'great water challenge' found a water bottle that holds close to 25 oz water, so i need 5 of those a day. I've got one down so far and another waiting for me to get dressed and walk out the door, taking it to school w/ me.

I have to admit, i'm nervous about 5 bottles! thats ALOT! can I do it?? four, probably, five?? eek!! I can do it!! i have to do it!! i'm sick of being fat!
 
Good challenge to start with! I'm doing something similar. But my focus is on going to the gym. Good luck!
 
Thank you ladies!!! I appreciate you stopping by and supporting me!

So, hubby and I decided that the best way to start our lifestyle change was to get rid of pop. even diet. So we went 100% water w/ our goal to drink a gallon a day. Now, sometimes I do fall short of my goal, but I am stil doing really really well!

So its been a full 5 dys since we started that. we both have more energy and are certainly craving pop less. Thank God my caffiene headaches are finally over!! Yesterday we went out for pizza, given it was sunday and we had a great week. I told hubby i couldn't eat pizza and water, i had to have pepsi. SO we ordered both water and pop. But I couldnt' drink the pop!! i was surprised how much sugar I could taste and how very strong it was! I drank all the water and just a bit of pop. I knew eventually I'd get to that place, but not after just 5 dys. I'm super stoked about it!

i'd like to weigh myself to see what kind of difference there is just by switching to water, but 'tom' is here, and i think it would not reflect well on the scales, so i'll give it another week and then weigh in. **crosses fingers**

i'll bet by switching to water, I save myself a good 700 cals a day!
